I know it's wierd, but hey, giant buzzsaws are all a man needs sometimes.

Pilot Sheet

Name: Fuubi Doku

Appearance: A slim Japanese man with a large square chin, a serious looking haircut parted down the middle, and five o'clock shadow. He's 5'5", 140 lbs.

Personality: Fuubi's temper is as short as his height, but he's more prone to outbursts than violence. He's quick to voice his opinion on any matter but hates opinions different to his own, and sometimes tells parables that make little sense. He's a very picky eater, hates children, and has sent over 400 letters to his superiors over the years formally requesting that a plumbing system be integrated into his cockpit.
Despite his eccentricities Fuubi is a hard worker and quick to learn. He displays bravery bordering on recklessness and will do absolutely anything his superiors say without question.

Backstory: A veteran who's family immigrated to Canada when he was young, all Fuubi was ever good at was one thing; piloting killing machines. In every other line of work, even mundane chores, he was useless. Despite his good education he utterly lacked social communication skills and had an uneven temperament that made him prone to fits. He's been in the service for twenty years though, and his success on missions speaks better than he can.

Misc Info: He's 38 years old

HELIX Frame Sheet

Codename: Shidoku

Appearance: Shidoku is a larger than average frame, 18 meters in height with long, thick cable-like arms than can extend, contract, and twist at high speeds. Each arm ends with a metal ball containing a rotor and a high output energy capacitor linked to the core of the frame itself, enabling Shidoku to whip around a pair devastating energy buzzsaws. Otherwise it appears to be of normal construction for a large frame, with all the regulation high performance vector thrusters, balancers, ect.

[b]Class: Heavy

Role: Melee support, assault. It's highly vulnerable on its own but very deadly in certain situations

Equipment: Shidoku's arms can extend to up to 60 meters, and when it presses its palms (balls?) together it can create a single, massive buzzsaw whose dimensions may vary depending on the output, but is limited to a diameter of 100 meters. The more energy Shidoku funnels into its buzzsaw the slower its mobility is, though the arms have their own capacitors and do not suffer any drawbacks in speed. At full power Shidoku isn't even able to move its legs, but can slice apart entire structures with a large focus buzzsaw or shred through enemy frames on contact with a small focus buzzsaw that concentrates rather than distributes energy.
Furthermore, the energy sheds immense amounts of short life radiation, enabling it to damage circuitry and fry enemy pilots inside their own frames if they remain in contact with the buzzsaw for too long. Shidoku's cockpit has a gyroscopic stabilizer that enables Fuubi to retain stability so long as it isn't damaged, so impacts that would normally send pilots reeling in their seats won't affect Fuubi, and he can continue to control his frame even when being tossed around.
Gonad was stretching out, joints popping as he did the splits. He was in evidently no hurry to help. It was against his code of honor to fight an outnumbered opponent, regardless of its power, and that besides he fancied they could handle this one. Still, he shouted vague encouragement.

"HRAH! Good job! Look for vitals!"
Gonad sat up like Michael Meyers, single eye wide, muscles tense. He then relaxed, grinning foolishly to himself. Anything can happen. He'd almost forgotten. He glanced about, analyzing his surroundings. A giant monster, adventurers fighting it. Not unusual. He stood with a single fluid motion and hung back, observing the battle. He folded his arms, nodding sagely as it transpired.


@Randomness

This sounds fun. I've been looking for an excuse to bust out this guy again.



@GoreLore
Yes, that's true indeed. Ultimately the GM decides if a character is accepted or not. It's their roleplay, after all, so they reserve that right, as they should. By all means, let freedom ring. Some roleplays may not be worth trying out for though, which is what this thread's about. Giving bad roleplays a chance? I say no, because they already have a fair amount of success, quality aside.
@GoreLore

That's all missing the point.

Let's first get it out of the way that Neo Tokyo is unrelated. That was a power issue. My OC was too strong for it, sadly. I don't remember if that RP asked for my orientation, if so I likely skipped that part with gusto, but remember that in roleplay, in life, in reality, there are always exceptions. Neo Tokyo looked like an exceptional roleplay, and is likely well worth trying for anyone else.

Most high school roleplays are the inverse, unfortunately, but hey, some people really are sad enough to want to pretend to be at school in their free time. Sorry if that offends anyone, NOT.

The issue is exactly the boundaries many roleplays impose that, as I've stated twice now and shall simply state again if prompted like so, railroads players and doesn't allow them to influence the status quo even if they realistically could.
The vast majority of these kinds of roleplays that ask for one's sexual orientation do so because that's most likely going to be a primary, driving focus for the players in addition to a plot as stiff as a calcified weinerwurst. Anything that skews that objective makes them sweat like a hog. It's blatant pandering and stale as all get-out.
Let me provide you with an example.

If I want to punch your love interest in the face, I may very well do it. Can you stop me? Sure. I'd encourage it.

Should you cry to an admin that I'm going to punch your love interest?
Now we have a problem.

Instead of properly addressing an unfavorable circumstance in the roleplay and 'playing through', you have folks who may say it's against the 'spirit of the roleplay', as if such a shallow excuse could justify their safe space. People play roles, that's roleplay, but if they try to dictate every facet of what other characters can and can't do, well...

They might as well sit in a cardboard box and just play in their imagination solo.
