Created some discussion while awaiting our good GM's first IC post, just as planned. And no flamewars/dick measuring contests to be had yet either.

@Eisenhorn Well if we are going to be analyzing each other's mechs we might as well try to ID our roles.

@redbaron1234 A fair point indeed, although the weapon kits for most everyone pretty much speaks for themselves as it comes to roles at the moment.

You need to drop either the chain-sword or the flamethrower function of the thrusters. As for the secondary weapon, it needs a turn to stand still and charge, and then another to fire, and the primary weapons can't be used during those turns.

@DarkRecon
Hmm. Since you seem experienced with these kinds of RP's and you don't blindly jump into them (which will never last long in my experience), you can join this, with the condition that the pilot is female.

Macabre's role: quickly attack and then hide behind big guys! Then repeat!

IC is up. Have fun, and try not to spam posts too much, so the stragglers won't have too much problem following.

With his melee whip and her cannon, I see this being the first fight.

@knighthawkI was talking more the puns. I like puns. Too bad DBZ abridge has kinda recast that scene in a new light.

Also, here's the synchro rates for everyone:

-Romeo: 84%
-Krista: 75%
-Yeshua: 81%
-Elora: 90%
-Harold: 85%
-Ryan: 78%
-Lora: 93%
-Alexei: 99%

In case anyone's interested, I took the base value of 50 and added a rolled amount of D100/2 to the score to determine synchro. Add these scroes to your sheets under a new bullet point titled Synchro Rate. Alexei got lucky, and has unlocked his Special Ability. Alexei, Lora and Elora will hear incoherent, barely audible sounds while piloting.

I see that I have the lowest starting synchro rate of the bunch. I guess we kinda called it.

I didn't realize it earlier, but Lora and Elora? Uncanny naming conventions we got here.

Otherwise, our synchro rates seem to speak volumes about our characters (and perhaps their mecha as well). As for the top 3, I presume those sounds will become a factor later. Certainly, strange noises are a possible concern for anybody to be hearing.

Elora is an old character I wanted to use again. The similarity in name is purely a coincidence. And yes, they will. You have no idea.

@Dynamo Frokane
The sheets are now accepted. Transfer them to the character tab and you can post IC.

Damn, you guys are getting high scores. Miles: 86%

So far all of them have been over the average with the exception of Krista who hit it in the middle.

Heh, all the high scores, but there is no doubt that something will happen to bring them down. Those negative values aren't just there for show, I reckon.

@Eisenhorn
Yes, and that is what I'd like to clear up. The numbers I gave you are hard synchro rates; they are the rates you'll start combat with. In combat your synchro will be soft, and prone to fluctuations depending on what happens to the Frame and inside the pilot's head. Once combat is over the hard synchro will change depending on how the soft synchro behaved. For someone to achieve negative hard synchro means the pilot has gone at least slightly mentally disturbed or the Frame smashed into a cube/ripped apart. For the purposes of the mock battle, however, there won't be soft synchro fluctuations due to it being a "safe" fight, but hard synchro will be affected by the actions taken in it.

I'll add this to the synchro info in the OP.
