I'm wanting to try a Mecha RP set in a future world where a group of pilots start their own rebellion against powerful nations post war time. I already have an idea fo the backstory, but I'd need help with world building and GMing please let me know if youd be interested or like to help.
There are 3 major land masses in this world, the land in the north is mostly ice caps and snow reigons this is called the Northen Frontier A great industrial power. To the southwest a landmass is shared by two nations the Hylo Empire and its occasional rival the Therux State both of these nations teamed up to form the western coalition and went to war with the Northern Frontier to dislodge its power over the world and were succesful in evening out the balance in power, although all 3 regions suffered heavy losses and are now at uneasy odds with each other.
The third and largest section of land is the Fourtune Region which is a diverse landscape made up of fields, forests, deserts, and even swamps. There is a collection of villages and towns among this reigon but is ultimately a free state with no central government. This is where our story will start.
Am open to ideas and suggestions.
EDIT: added a timeline
2065: Therux State attacks a Hylo squard that is scouting near their border, the two neigbouring nations begin occasional skirmishes for the next 140 years
2080: Elementum is first discovered, is said to be from a metorite but no one is sure.
2087: Nothern Frontier begins trade with other nations after Elementum causes breakthrough in Mecha Technology.
2112: Hylo and Therux conflicts start to become more frequent. Northern Frontier begins stock piling large war assets.
2170: A group of famous adventurers from the Fortune state investigate the Northern Reigon on an expidition to study Elementum, they are never seen again.
2200: The Western War Begins between Therux and Hylo
2205: The Western War ends with Hylo somewhat victourious and calling a truce, the same year, small amounts of elementum are found in the Fortune State which increases trade and wealth for the reigon.
2209: Hylo and Therux begin the Western Coalition and begin stockpiling war forces together.
2215: The 'Helen Tower' is destroyed, the Great War of Orio begins.
2221: The Outcast Guild in the Fortune Reigon is formed.
2232: The Orio war finally ends, with all 3 nations worse for wear and now under a shaky ceasefire.
2235: Present Day, Western Coalition is ended.

Stats Explained The Stats and Performance of your Mecha are decided by a scale system so you decide your own balance between two attributes using a number between 1-9 for Example:
The Light/Heavy Body scale determines the Overall Speed, Reflex, Strength and Armor of your Mecha with 1 at the light end of the scale and 9 at the heavy end. If you choose say a 7 for this category your Machine will be Heavier, mechanically stronger but also have a slower reaction time and movement speed. You can tune this all the way to the extreme by choosing a 9 or have the exact opposite by having a 1 or hitting the balance by choosing a 5.

Im not going to lie, I love this RP concept but its hard to write because of how spooky and depressing it is, after Ive gotten all 5 daughters written I'll kick this off properly.
Shawna was the oldest child of the 5 Corvin girls, and was the most energetic. Calvin noted she was a very motivated and active girl, which he often thought was a good thing, because of her beauty and charisma she would often convince others to take up physical hobbies and to stay in shape. But this would be to a fault. Shawna was a sailor's daughter from sunny california who spent almost all of her time at the beach or the mall. On holiday she would always try out a new physical challenge such as skiing or hiking and was instantly adept at anything she tried. Because of her beauty many boys would attempt to impress her with feats of physical prowess but this only served her competetive spirit. One day at the beach she convinced a group of boys to race her out to the middle of the ocean and back, her amazing swimming skills proved impressive but two of the boys were on the local swimming team and were able to win the close race. She couldnt believe it, and challneged them both to a rematch, but this time while flirting with them drugged both of their drinks so they would swim slower on the next race. The drugs were too powerful though and not only did the boys slow down they lost their ability to swim and began sinking in the water, Shawna began to laugh as she over took them but as they both realised they were drugged and were going to drown from her dirty trick they both grabbed her as they began to submerge with all their remaining strength. While she was strong, the combined wieght of them drug her down into the watery depths, and all 3 of them drowned that day.
After her ressurection Shawna escaped Calvin's care to become a serial killer who would engineer 'accidents' in sports and extreme hobbies, to make sure no one would ever 'win' in ways that she couldn't.
I've been having a thing for cars recently. Well, any car that's sportsy or a sport sedan. And I've been wondering, what would it be like to have a roleplay about street racers? Just a little experiment I'd like to try out. I'm thinking of a plot for it as well, that isn't bad and cheesy, I just want to know what some of ya'll think. That's all.
Hello Chao, nice to see you again.
If you are up for it, we could make it a little anime/slice of life ish something akin to Initial D or Drift Girls or my fave Ridge Racer 4
I'd be happy to help you make a city for the RP if youd like.
Hi. I'm back. Again. I want to shake off the rust and get back into Ranked but it looks like Arena is like... dead or something.
I can take on multiple fights at once (max three) but prefer to use Tifa of Final Fantasy VII in all of them; she's formidable enough given the techs and materia I've fit her with and I'll put up a character sheet momentarily with a link.
Any takers?
If youre still down, I'll fight you, I'm guessing I'm back now.
Shitposting and trash-talking don't feel cool or hip or whatever, at all. It's... tiring, irritating, and just not funny. (Well, for a short while is fun, but as the time drags on... makes me wonder what's wrong with people nowadays.)
And the contradiction that being kind or nice to you is boring, but at the same time you want people to respect you? Seriously, make up your mind already.
I like this because I know who you are talking about :)
I take it you don't want me here then, fair enough. I was willing to put aside differences and stuff but I guess that don't matter much now.
Im just repepating what you said, I'm just not sure why youd want to join an RP if the GM has no brain cells. I never said for you to leave, but you should acknowledge the comments if we are ever going to move forward.
