Plot
A large hologram appears before you. A man draped in shadows begins to speak. As scenes of what looks like war begin to play.


We live in a world ransacked by monsters that have come from the stars. They have destroyed our homes, and nations. Because our leaders knew nothing of how to defeat these monstrosities of organic, and machine. We have even lost loved ones, and the strong heroes we thought would never leave us have been slaughtered.
But, do not fear for their is now a way to fight back!


The Images changed to a massive robot, and then to several 30 foot tall robotic suits.


Thanks to our advances in technology. We have created The End. Armor meant to be controlled by suits meant to be piloted by very special individuals. They will end this invasion once, and for all! We will drive these monsters back to the stars from whence they came! All I ask is that you trust in me.


The Hologram soon cuts out as you stand in a crowd of carefully selected individuals. Will you make it? Or will you just become another distant memory? An older woman with tied back golden hair wearing a pristine lab coat, a slimming red dress, black pumps, and small wire glasses looks upon everyone. Her stature says she is bored though her eyes betray her boundless curiosity. She calls your name, and you are taken into a small room. Inside is a single table, and two chairs made of metal. A peculiar metal spherical device with with many circular glass disks inside it, sits at the tables center. As you finally situate yourself one the small metal chair, it bathes you in a green light for several seconds. Slightly blinding you for a bit. "Speak clearly as you tell me about yourself," The woman says. She sits across from you as she begins writing on a glass pad with a display of various images, and data you can’t hope to comprehend on the other side in glowing orange letters.

So this rp would be sorta like Pacific Rim only it has actual humanoid aliens piloting the monsters that come from the stars.

I show interest in basically any roleplay that lets me use giant robots. Out of curiosity though, what style of mecha are we talking about and how much freedom do we have when designing them? I know you brought up PacRim, is that what you have in mind for all robots or did you just use it as a way to simplify the idea?

They are going to be humanoid robots in form, and they're will be customization. Also based on your characters fighting style, and personality. They will all have the same standard equipment you'd expect on a mech, and one super ability that sets them apart from the rest.

In other words someone that's really protective, wont have a super cannon that blows people to smithereens as they laugh maniacally. But, instead should have some form of shield that can protect nearby allies for a certain period of time.

I get the personality and fighting style determining a special move of sorts but what exactly is "the standard equipment you'd expect on a mech"? 'cause that varies from mech show to mech show.

Edit: Small energy pistol, and an energy combat knife. All mechs have a heavy alloy that can take hits from the enemy to a certain extent.

Very interested in this. I'm assuming the mechs will be more along the lines of Armored Cores than more western-styled mechs, like the ones in Mechwarrior?

Yeah the best way to describe what they'd be like would be Gundam, and Armored cores.

Thank you, I'm sorta working out all the final kinks to it, I sorta wanna get at least five people to join this rp. Also I'll tell you right now, that this is a company. That's decided to work with the worlds governments in order to stop the invading threat.

So, all mechs start out with a pistol, a knife and a special thingy as determined by the pilot?

hm, then I might have to retract my interest, it doesn't sound like there'll be that much room for players to customize their own machines beyond one specific thing. I was hoping for a larger freedom of concept as far the mecha went.

Okay, then... I was still working on the OOC. Because ideas are still percolating through my mind. I just don't want anyone getting the chance to god mod right off the very beginning.

I'll wait and see what comes of it and whatnot, but considering mechs are supposed to be an integral part of it all I just feel like mech customization should be a big deal instead of having players start out with a bunch of basic predefined stuff and one custom ability.
