If you wish to create your own Mech for your pilot feel free to do so and let me know about it, I'll review it and tell you if it's okay or not. I am going to list the mass produced models of Mech below everyone can get an idea of the system in place for mechs and their creation.

Mass produced Mech models











So this roleplay will be taking place at the Tranquility Mech academy. This is about a group of students being trained to fight for IFS, some students will be from Tranquility however if you wish to be from another planet just give me a basic description of the planet and it's history. Now we will have mechanics and pilots so your welcome to make either.

All Mechs are customizable and I am willing to accept new mechs into the list. These are just the mass produced models I came up with. Also AI’s are attached to the mech so if you have one it assists you in many ways. All makes can be given their own paint job and backstory of how you got them if you like, not a requirement. I am however using mech layouts to keep them all on a even playing field. However weapons can be whatever you like or want to use, from laser to bullet everything has a purpose.

Alright, I'm interested. I just have a few questions about the RP.

1. On average how big are the mechs?
2. So do we need two characters? One pilot and one Mechanic or did I miss read that?
3. Are our characters operating the mechs from inside them or from a remote location?

I think that was it, Though I may have more.

@Remipa Awesome

Mechs are generally between 35-45 meters tall.

Mechanics are not required but you are welcome to make one.

You will be inside the Mechs.

In the customization, there are weapons. Would those count as weapons, or customization? xD

@datadogie The weapon in customization are attached weapons, they aren't like weapons you select they are attached and can fired without the need for having to get the weapon out.

PILOT

Name: Cyan McFarley
Age: 15
Home world: Lemea (An ice world with a single colony, used for scientific research and for water resupplies.)

Appearance: With piercing blue eyes and straight, black hair (not to forget the single, purple streak), Cyan looks quite pretty compared to the average girl. Cyan has a slender build and white skin, with set shoulders and small breasts. Small lips, small ears and a small nose punctuate her face a little.

Personality: Cyan is usually quite cheerful, and quite giggly. She tries to keep herself happy, and likes to train. However, this isn't all. Below this obvious layer, this layer of happiness and cheerfulness, something darker lays beneath. Cyan is untrustworthy, and she makes a plan to kill or backstab anyone she meets, if she needs to. She always comes with a plan. This, and Cyan can be quite aggressive if provoked, or even upset.

History: Cyan was born on the scientific research - water resupply colony on the planet known as Lemea. In the day, Cyan learned at school, and studied. However, after school, it wasn't going home and having fun. It was surviving. The harsh colds and occaisional blizzard meant that the heating had to be kept up most of the time, so that lead to harsh bills for heating and electricity. This meant that the McFarley family, as well as other families, had to work hard to get pay. That also meant young Cyan.

As she grew up, Cyan was forced to work. She chose the path of a Mech operator because she found it fun, and it paid well. She was trained to operate a Warrior mech, in order to transport hazardous materials around the settlement. This also meant she got into fights with the local wildlife, protecting the settlement against things such as Lonas, giant six-legged bear looking creatures, and other animals that thrived on Lemea.

Finally, she read up about Tranquility Academy. Figuring that it was a good way to get off of the frozen husk in the middle of the galaxy, she spoke to her parents, and racked up the funds and papers to be transferred there, much to her delight.

MECH

Planet of origin: Lemea

Model: ST-A-FM03 (Scientific Transportation-Analysis-Fighting Mecha MK3), known more as the Warrior. It was designed to move materials around the settlement of Lemea, mostly hazardous ones that couldn't be handled normally. Originally, the settlement was protected by Knights, however they were dismissed when it was realized that the Warrior had the strength to crush it's foes and protect the settlement on it's own. This led to upgrades, including the ability to handle light weaponry and melee equiptment, however by looking at it's hands you could see it simply doesn't need that. That's why the military adopted the design, however they are rarely seen on the frontlines.

As well as the power in it's hands, the Warrior is also a very fast mech, as sometimes you need to move materials to a place quickly, like from cooling unit to cooling unit. The mech also has a full user-sync and an AI, to keep everything in check and perfect. After all, you probably would appreciate the extra support if you were carrying a singularity warhead to a testing site. The mech also is burdened with medium armour and a weak shield, just to survive the blizzards and animals of Lemea. Unfortunately, due to the burden of technology on the Warrior, it only has one weapon slot, as well as three customization slots.
Stat roundoff:
Medium armor
Fast speed
Can wield light weaponry and melee weaponry (One slot)
Energy shielding (Light)
Two customization slots
Full Sync and full AI

Preferred weapon(s):
MAS (Mass Accellerated Slug), a handheld cannon that fires a small slug at very fast speeds, creating a heavy impact on what it impacts. The front of the weapon is set into four different circles, each rotating at a different speed, to create a small gravetational field that pushes the shell out. The weapon is, unintentionally, good for stealth. Since the slug is launched using gravity generated by quietly spinning circles, it means there is no blast from the gunpowder of a conventional bullet, and no sound from it. The rifle weighs little since it does not require the ejection of cases, or ignition. And, of course, it works in space.

Systems package( Your customizations): Cloaking System, Electronic Jamming Suite

AI: Y (Yes)
AI name: Wiz
AI personality: Wiz is a basic AI, used for helping handle hazordous materials, however she is also programmed for combat assistance. Since she has not been programmed for much, she doesn't have that much of a personality, either. Wiz will read out status reports, such as, "Recieving damage," or "Systems rebooting," saying nothing otherwise. Rarely, she will give a remark of some kind.

(THIS IS A WIP to tired to think right now)
Name: Dominic Visla
Age:17
Home world: Jericho(A Small earth like planet well known for their plant's military)
Appearance: Dominic stands at a tall 6'1, with Green eyes,short black hair, and dark olive skin. Dominic has broad shoulders and is really fit.
Personality: Dominic is very easy going normally. With a very understanding personality, it is easy for him to fit in most places. In class or in training he is very disciplined and has very little tolerance for people who do less than their best.
History: Dominic was born the son of a military officer in the planetary capital Diomedes. Dominic, like many other youths on his planet were military brats, and as such they had a certain expectation set for them. Many were expected to enlisted, to serve as an officer,mech pilot, or some other military position. At the age of 13 he enlisted in the youth army.(think basically battle school armies from Ender's game just on a massive scale, but slightly more deadly) for two years he fought mock battles, did survival training, and got to Mech training. Dominic never knew his mother as she died giving birth to him.


Planet of origin:Jericho
Model:M-23 Mark IV Guardian Drop assault pattern "Informally known as the grunt." This aging Pattern of Guardian series mech has often been the target of much scrutiny. Designed to be a light "Drop" Mech it has since on Jericho been used as the base for many of it's Planetary forces. Designed with a jump pack for short jumps, this model is designed to be literally dropped in battle via a drop pod type vehicle. It's primary goal was to provide hard hitting fire power to Rapid deploying troops who can't be bogged down waiting for heavier support.The grunt with it's light armor is incapable of holding prolonged battles with heavier mechs, relying instead on it speed and flight boosters to flank an enemy and neutralize it. Designed to hold multiple roles this mech fills its role as a hit and run mech perfectly. For all it's perks the Mech requires a high level of training as the drop pod requires manual adjustment for entry. Because of it's intial design as a drop mech with versatility, the mech was never intended for roles other than behind enemy lines hit and run actions.
Stat roundoff:
Armor:Light
Speed:Very fast
Can wield light weaponry and melee weaponry (two)
Two customization slots
Preferred weapon(s): Mark X Mech Carbine: a Mech version of the standard Infantry rifle, This heavy hard hitting weapon offers great Anti Infantry options, but doesn't sacrifice it's mech killing power. Jericho Mech Combat knife.
Systems package( Your customizations):Flight pack,
AI: Y
AI name: Lia
AI personality: Lia, like most people and AI from Jericho, is very no nonsense. She provides read out on the status of the mech, handles ammunition count, and deals with communications when Dominic is in the middle of combat, filtering out all useful information to Dominic and blocking out all unnecessary ones. Due to her creation for Dominic when he was a child, she is quite fond of Dominic and often feels the need to look out for his well being.

Pilot

Name: Hayden Welles

Age: 15

Home world: Tranquility

Appearance:


Personality: Hayden does not trust IFS but knows their the only chance he has for vengeance on UP-DC. He hopes for war and plans to graduate early and in time to get out their and fight. Other than that he is friendly if rather reserved, he doesn't take crap and has a history of getting into fights. He does not trust students from off world but knows they'll have to get along.

History: Growing up just outside the Freehold, the capital of Tranquility Hayden's father and uncle ran a farm. Haydens mother was chief of Mech development in Freehold and it's leading scientist. Hayden worked on the farm mostly while attending school however, he and his older sister would test Mechs with their mother on the weekends. Hayden was actually a test pilot for the Paladin prototypes. His sister is graduate from the Academy and Hayden plans to follow in her footsteps.

However during the battle of Tranquility Hayden lost his families farm, his father and uncle. UP-DC Mechs leveled the farm and Hayden ended up trying to fight them with the Welles family Knight. He managed to destroy two enemy Mechs before he himself was taken down, rescued by his sister Hayden's right arm and right leg were lost in the wreckage. Both have been replaced with grafted cybernetics, he know harbors deep hatred for UP-DC. Since the battle Tranquility has mostly been rebuilt however with very few mechs available Hayden is currently using a Knight but a custom model is in development for him by his mother.

Mech

Planet of origin: Tranquility

Model: Knight

The basic model of mech mass produced by both sides used by civilians and is commonly seen used by untrained pilots as there are the simplest mech to pilot and offer a large range of customization. However Knights are not as well armored as other classes of mech and cannot keep pace with others, the upshot is that it can use a full range of weapons and can be customized to your needs.


Stats:
Average speed
Poor armor
Can wield all types of weapons except melee (Three weapon slots)
Has three customization slots
Energy shielding (Medium)
No on-board AI

Preferred weapon(s): Mech assault rifle- Using a heavy caliber mech assault rifles balance damage and speed. Using conventional bullets make it perfect for dealing with soldiers or assault other mechs.

Rail Gun- A weapon designed for cracking shields and ambushing targets, the Rail gun is design to rip though targets. A squad of mechs deployed with these can take down even the biggest mechs.

Anti-mech Rifle- The most powerful currently in production. It destroys any mech it hits, shielding can deflect the round. Firing this this rifle cause's massive kick and it requires ten second charge between each shot, laser based so as long as your shields are up your okay. Cause mechs to spiral out of control in space and mech on the ground to slide backwards.

Systems package: Shield upgrade package, Flight system.

AI: No

AI name:

@Apothecary Maintain, customize, and refit mostly. Also Mechanics can develop their own version of Mechs and have pilots test them. You would be on a planet that accesses to most every known Mech and has spare part for them all.
