We as the human race would fight and bicker among each other over the slightest things... a bit funny, isn't it? Since the time that we could walk we would kill and lay waste to each other over petty things such as territory and religion, even putting our ideals on the line while at the same time back at home our people would fight over trivial things.

Justice… equality… hunger… appearances… whether someone died for the right cause or not...

Anything you could imagine with your insignificant head we fought over... and many died.

You would think for such an advanced race compared to all the primitive animals that were alive at the time that we’d be far better, wouldn't we? No. The truth was that we were nothing than primates ourselves; animals who could not go beyond our differences to unite and join one another and create a better world.

In the end, we just destroyed our planet through both war and pollution… but I suppose you too know that, don't you? But now, we have out civilization back... we have everything that we want to protect.

Though, we all still remember in the year 2267 when our world was nothing more than a nuclear dump with only a few patches of habitable lands left. It wasn't until a man with technology unlike any other finally united the Earth forces under a single banner through brute force by killing anyone who opposed him did we finally become whole. He built an impenetrable fortress and had his forces cultivate and secure whatever lands could be saved by using devices meant to preserve the lands that were untainted by the countless wars we held. Communities were built within these lands, before steps to move forward were introduced.

In the year 2321, the man who united Earth led expeditions from Earth to cultivate new planets with flagships each containing the newest development; the Framewerks. These were powerful mechanized piloted units that can only be used by a select few individuals after years of training, but they allowed us to conquer planets with ease.

For years we slowly captured planets and things were working, we were finally at peace and enjoying things for we thought we were alone in the universe.

Or so we had thought...

Years had passed and in the year 2578, we finally lost communication with a human colony on our outer rim all of a sudden. At first, we thought it was just an error with the signal… until seconds later another colony tuned in and told us that they were being attacked.

We suddenly found ourselves thrown into a war with an unknown alien race for years, with all of our communications being cut off with all of our outer rim planets. Despite all the reinforcements we sent, we never heard from them… we could only assume the worst had happened.

It was only in the year of 2590 that we finally were able to make establish contact with one of our outer rim planets due to the efforts of the man who united Earth who was dedicated on find out what happened... but what we had found, was something far, far worse than discovering hell itself.



They were slain by an alien race called the Cruxi… and they had technology and firepower that was on a whole new level compared to us. Plasma weapons, Wormhole-using spaceships, soldiers equipped with personal barriers… you name it, they probably had it. However, their numbers weren’t as vast as ours. So we threw ourselves at them in order to keep them at bay, and to keep them from reaching more of our home worlds.

Though a strategy like that can only last so long until all of humanity starts to believe that we’re fighting a losing war… but that’s where you come in, Cadet.

You’re here to clean up our petty mistakes of our pasts and to fight our battle. That’s the sad truth of the matter. Remember how I mentioned those Frameworks earlier, right? Well, you along with others have been chosen to pilot experimental Frameworks in hopes of turning the tides of this war.
Truth be told, I don’t envy you… because I feel you’re going to be thrown straight into the horrors of things… I just pray you make it out of this alive, even if we don’t.

Link to the interest check
Welcome to Souls of Steel (or SoS for short), reboot of Hearts of Metal. In this, pilots are recruited to pilot massive, Evangelion-sized war machines called Framewerks that are humanity's last hope against the Cruxi menace. The combat effectiveness of the pilots are determined with two attributes: Experience and Synchronization Rate. These will be randomized for every pilot, but are affected by their age: older pilots have more experience, while younger pilots have a higher synchronization rate.

To have a character sheet submitted, you must first submit your pilot's age, and after I have provided the experience and synchronization rate you may submit the sheet with them included.
_____________________________________________________________________________________











Some ground-rules:
1. Please wait for at least two posts before making a new post.
2. If you need to be absent for a while due to real-life issues or anything else, please inform in the thread or through a PM so I'll know. Thank you for being a cool guy.
3. Collaboration is recommended for dialogue and/or combat between characters. Meetingwords is a good place to make them, for example.
4. Military rules apply (no possession of weaponry or sharp objects while in the base, superiors must be greeted with sir or their respective rank and so on).
5. Site rules apply.
6. Have fun, and ask me if there's anything on your mind.

Also interested in joining this RP but intend to post a character later. He will be 23 years of age. Requesting a sync. ratio of 70 - 75% in a calm environment, if you don't mind.

You got pretty unlucky with the experience, but the high age compensated for that nicely.

Say... for somebody aged 22?

Is this good, bossman? This is fresh from the press so there's bound to be lots of mistakes, but I'll get around to proofreading it later.

The pilot's appearance description needs another paragraph in written form. The character's military rank will be noted, but the character will still be given the rank of Cadet once enrolled like the others. The Framewerk's primary weapon will be considered as kinetic in type.

The pilot's appearance description needs another paragraph in written form. As for the Framewerk's primary weapon, the power needs to be lessened to being able to blow off human Framewerks' limbs in one volley. Also, it's accuracy will be considered long-range, but not sniper range until after either having spent a turn aiming or after having received battlefield data. It will also be considered magnetic in type.

Edit: Okay, so it's not completely EoD. But I did freak the hell out when I saw this because it is EXACTLY like EoD. What's the link with that old thing?

M888888.

I fucking LOVED EoD and actively had a fight with the GM when it went down. I even though about rewriting it as a somewhat original story with my own twist on it, but time issues caught up.

She was 16, by the by.

EDIT: By link, I mean how it is related to the original RP by Gnar. Guess it's a reboot with your own spin on it?

Yeah, I had an idea of my own to the story that I wanted to write, so I took Gnar's template and made Hearts of Metal way back when. It had a good run until it died, but it's been about 9 months since that and someone revived the thread asking me to reboot it, so I decided to go for it.
