My GEARs RP has been running in its' current incarnation for somewhat over a year on this incarnation of the forums, and has had several reboots and incarnations before that; primarily due to players dropping out and the pace slowing down to a virtual crawl.

The game is currently lacking in players and pace, due to - presumably - RL concerns for those still involved, and the number of active participants has more than halved since it started. As such, I'm looking to replace the gaps with a few more mecha pilots who are reliable posters.

The game is casual, but there is a lot of background material and depth, on par in my opinion, with some of the more advanced games on the forum. As the mecha go, it is inspired by and themed after the more anime side of things, and skewed toward the Real Robot genre rather than the super robot one (i.e., more Universal Century Gundam than Gurren Lagann). And even then, the tech level in the setting as a whole is much lower than Gundams' own.

Yes, the characters are furries. No, they do not act 'cute', or use any other stupid furry slang or do goofy, funny things. It is a sci-fi setting, with the fact the characters are anthropomorphic creatures being an integral part of the background and the ongoing plot.

Despite the game having run for as long as it has, delays in posting and the slow response times have meant that the game is seriously bogged down, and there hasn't been as much progress in the plot as I would like, so if you do wish to join, you won't have missed too much. My intention is to get things moving much quicker from hereon in.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask here or PM me, or go over to the main OOC thread for the game, where all the info is stored.

I'm ideally looking for 3-5 players. And I won't be accepting any more non-pilot characters.

Hello, old friend!
It's a bit of a downer to see this saga grinding down. Had lots of fun helping out with some of the technical data when it was still fresh, forever ago. Since you're rebooting with the intent of getting it active again, I'd like to ask to place my lot with GEARs for another go-around. A few other RPs I'd been looking forward to starting haven't gotten off the ground, and I'm, for all intents and purposes, done with college. My plate's a bit empty and maybe it's time to stick it to Avara again. My schedule is pretty forgiving this time around and I'm very confident I'll be around for a healthy dose of GEARs. I've already got a character in mind that I'm looking forward to trying out - just awaiting your decision.

I'm not rebooting, it's the same plot that you were in before, and the same game; it's just that I need some more players and characters right now, as the game is grinding so, so slowly, and we're down to a ridiculously small number of personnel, considering we started with so many. It's actually making it hard IC to justify why the squad is still a thing, considering we've lost so many people.

I know your RP style and quality, and I really liked your previous character and playing alongside you in other games, so you'd definitely be welcome to come back.

I'll be introducing any new characters - providing I get them - after the current mission is over, and the crew and the ship relocate to a base to take on new GEARs and new personnel, as well as some other developments IC.

I gotta say, this is sorely tempting. I'm a little uncertain about how much time I have for this, but for now consider me interested. ^_^

Just posting to show my interest, it's rather late, so I'll get around to reading up on the history and such tomorrow.

Well, if the three of you are interested, head on over to the OOC and check out the background, and get your characters submitted. I'd be happy to have you join us.
