The AMC was built while technology was still good. Before the apocalypse. But the apocalypse caused the destruction of most of the AMC, but now they are rebuilding. Robots do not forget how to build things unless it was deleted. They are AUTOMATED. They can construct more of themselves and build more facilities. The AMC is still alive. Just weakened. But if the GM does not want this one ether, I will reconstruct again.

We'll see what Kuro says, but your tech level is 2040s. I don't believe the tech in this RP has passed 1940s. With that said, it is rare. You're faction would make it more than abundant.

I'll finish my character sheet later tonight and get to work on the faction as well - I've been a little bit busy lately, so I apologize about that. @Kuro

Right, I'm going to step in before this gets ugly and we get a lengthy argument on our hands.

Firstly, I'm not entirely opposed to small bands of "robotic holdouts". That being said, whilst I think the concept is neat, there are some issues I've noticed.

As others said, I believe you're misreading the setting. When I mean Steampunk/Dieselpunk/whatever, I mean things like Iron Harvest, Last Exile, and maybe Resistance (minus the alien tech) or Wolfenstein (before it gets technologically-crazy with Panzerhunds and so on) in a Fallout-like setting. Yes, I did mention that technology continued to develop so that both sides could "make the other bastard die for his" country, but it isn't Sci-fi-like technology; it still has a slight 1920/1940s flair to it. For examples, see below for "titan machines" (alternatively you could just look at anything in Jakub Rozalski's 1920+ world).



Having said that, as @Gunther pointed out, technology such as this is rare and hardly seen, being largely wiped out in the destruction of the world as it had been known. Most people generally have makeshift weapons or some reminiscent of the past, such as a Kar 98k or a M1 Carbine. The advanced marvels of war are mostly myth and legend by now, especially given how difficult it would be to keep them maintained in an "end of the world" scenario.

Anyway, back to the faction itself. As I said, I have several issues with it, with many questions that are largely left unanswered by the faction description. What exactly is the AMC? Their origin is rather vague. Were they a military company awarded a contract to build weaponry, or in this case, "robotics"? Why did their creators implement an automation protocol? It doesn't make any sense to me, especially given that we don't have any knowledge as to why this company is important other than "they would've won if the world hadn't ended", which is already vague enough. Also, if they were solely designed for combat, how exactly are they supposedly rebuilding/building more robots and factories for them? I'm going to have to say no again.

@ClatterCake That's fine, I have some things that I'll have to attend to later today myself.

There's something funny to me about that second image with all the farmers casually doing their work while a giant war machine in the background engages another war machine.

They were a military weapon. And there are very few. Their total living population now is 496, and there are many ruins that have been unclaimed. If you really want me to change, I will. The only reason I am having trouble making a 1940 theme is because google will not give me 1940 theme mechs! There is literally nothing that I can find that is relevant besides iron-man. Anyway, I guess I will scrape it up and start again.

I just spent more than a few hours writing a personality, biography, equipment list, and skills. MS Word crashed and its all gone. I started my personality description with six traits; 3 positive and 3 negative. Those at least are still listed. Hopefully, I can recall what I just lost.

I don't want to write a partial CS and then fill in the blanks later.

I know that feeling. I had been typing away at a work draft on RPG, went to hit save, hit cancel instead on accident.

This is why you save often, kids. lol

But yeah, I'm in no rush. I have quite a few RPs to attend to this weekend and have IRL business to deal with, too.

Could be worse! You could hit your mouse's side buttons that go back on the browser page! >_<

Surprisingly, even though my mouse does have side buttons, I've only done that once. Was watching Youtube videos when I found out my mouse could do that.

That happened to me once with an entire CS and when I went to write it down a second time, I was almost finished with it. The cosmos has a way with fucking with me because the sheet messed up and none of the formats were working, so now whenever I write a character sheet, I make sure to save the whole thing as well as constantly clicking preview.

Well. My robots failed. I have a new topic though.

Can I use monsters or mutants?

This is my second option. I refuse to do human because I am not creative there, at all. I have nothing for human. I will wait for a response before I start.

I thinkawink that Kuro wants us to be underpowered for the sake of telling the story of survival in a war-torn dystopian world. I think mutants would play against that?

Well. I'm out. I have no ideas for this. Sorry. I'm just not creative with any human characters and I just can't work with the 2044 theme.

@Nate1008 I wish you luck elsewhere in other RPs, then.

@Clattercake I'll wait until you finish the faction sheet to give my thoughts.

@Quincy Seems fine to me. Approved. Maybe Reb and Luther can hook up and talk about classical music, since they both have nostalgia for the old.

You got it, boss man.

Also, imagine a seventeen year old German boy hanging out with a twenty-six year old French lady while discussing classical music; society would collapse further from the ground fucking waking with the anguished cries of angry Nazis and Frenchmen.
