Well the suit partially depends on the size of your character. if your character is 5 foot tall they're exo suit would be about 7-7 and a half feet tall. The cockpit is in the chest and their limbs go into the exo suit's limbs. This is very far into the future, but don't think gundum or gurren lagann. The suits excluding the marines weren't made with combat focus anyway (they do have weapons because its a hostile alien planet, but they aren't tanks with cannons like the marines). I'll use the example of my character's suit so heres a snipit:
Canustrike. A custom EXO that Izic built. He refused to let anyone else do the job. It’s visually simple EXO. It has the basics of an exo-suit in that it cover Izic completely in a good four inches of suit. It is designed to have excellent movement capabilities, so the armor is still very light. It has a black, dark grey, and dark green paint job like old military camo, but he just used the colors overall not camo. The suit is about eight foot tall since Izic prefers the additional size when he‘s doing big jobs. The head/helmet is modeled after a wolf’s head, and the optical ports seem to have a very menacing glare to them. The feet and hands are both clawed. Two hooked longs swords come out of the top of the forearms. Izic put theses in to highlight the agility of the suit, and make it a great melee unit. Even as an engineer Izic wanted a very strong combat EXO. If anything he wanted it so he could survive to help the others. He also put in two heavy fire shotguns which attach to his back. These spray after impact and cause more damage to the inside of the target.
But there is a flip side to this EXO. Izic knew he’d have to still work in it so the claws on the hand retract, or can be used as misc. tools while working. The dexterity and percision of the EXO also lets Izic work as well in it as out of it.

well considering 2 people would be rather boring yes I am happy to take more.
I'd love to, but ya do know modern pokeballs are metal and high tech polymers. If this is some sort of old world though then it makes a bit more sense i guess.
Either way I'd like to be the Indy of the group if you would. The historian, the dungeon delver, the guy with an awesome hat! Whats more fun than an outsider anyways breaks up the sameiness.
I could just see fantastic teams for the character. Golett would be the starter for sure if that'd be ok.
EDIT: having jsut read up on PTU (I used PTA before), I am now 100% certain I want in on this. I didn't even know they made a better version!
I even could help out if you'd like ideas on old school gear for them as I've done a lot of Alt history writing for pokemon. I'd still hope for a european explorer/treasure hunter/archeologist to provide some variety.

Colour me interested.
*grabs a box of crayons*. Lets see I have blue, orange, oh here's interested.
EDIT: I just noticed I cut one of the best parts out of the info.
EXO is an acronym!
Extraterrestrial eXploration Operatives
I just finished teaching a bunch of noobs 4e for an adventure, but now 5e is claiming to be as easy to teach and having enough content for advanced. UGHHHHHHHHH
This is an RP I wrote up a long time ago. It made it one page on the original site. With about 2 more years under my belt I've decided to update it, and rework it. This is the sort of chopped up ideas of it.
{Set up}
Space has always been considered the final frontier, but it is also the most dangerous. Earth had invested heavily into space exploration, but only recently had it made any success. A planet far out past Pluto in a different solar system was found to have the ability to support life. The Space Station Tyo was established in its orbit to collect more information on the planet. Over the next few months the researchers confirmed that the planet had life and a human friendly atmosphere. Until now no humans had been allowed on the planet’s surface.
A team of specialists was deployed to the station to become the first explorers on the planet. This team codenamed EXO was a collection of humans with variable skills to aid in the exploration. On the day of deployment the EXOs entered the drop pods and were launched to the surface.
The mission was a success. The EXOs were able to expand the stations research potential exponentially. Within another few months the station planned to set up a lab on the surface. A new team of EXOs was organized to do this mission and all seemed like a success.
Eight EXOs and a group of thirty scientists prepared a shuttle to take to the surface and be used as a ferry between the station and lab as it was built. Then everything fell apart. Unknown to the EXOs or anyone else a ninth EXO had remained behind, and sabotaged the station. He had planned to destroy the station before the shuttle launched, but the flight had been moved up. The shuttle only barely made it into the planet’s atmosphere before the station exploded. Debris rained down around them, and pelted the ship. Most of its systems were knocked out, and it only just made a crash landing. None of the scientists survived, and the ship was too damaged to fly again without massive repairs. You know rescue will not come, so it is time to complete your mission.
{EXO’s}
The Exo’s are human pilots of mechanized suits. The suits they pilot were created originally to assist in the building of Tyo Station. When their potential as a way to explore the alien planet the suits were re-designed and customized for the specialist who would pilot them.
each suit is designed specifically for each pilot. No two are the same. Some pilots have even customized their suits further to their own likings.Each EXO has their own special set of skills, and were hand picked for just that.
Work Skills: (this skill defines what your character would excel in.)

{Planet 4578}
This alien world has similar climates to earth, but has more continent then ocean. The planet is capped with artic poles like earth, and follows similar climate dispersion. Below the artic is temperate areas, below that are deserts, and at the equator rainforests. Few species on the planet have been researched heavily yet, and those that have share basic traits like those of earth animals, but many new and strange ones. The crash zone was in the southern part of the north temperate zone.
{Earth}
the planet we all hail from. Its still not the greatest place really even in the year four thousand there is a lot of political issues and all sorts of nonsense going on there. Space exploration has become very important as it has become harder to find places to live, and the moon colony was far too problematic in its construction to be used on full sized planets.
{Rules}
2. This is a survival style RP. I expect things to break, I expect people to get sick, and I expect you to treat it as a life or death situation. Yes you are EXOs but that doesn’t make you invincible. The suits will sustain their energy levels, unless their generator breaks, so you needn’t worry about that, but the armor, weapons, and other systems that take a beating will need repair and maintenance.[/LEFT]
3.EXO suits cannot be lived in twenty four seven. It is physically demanding to use the suit even though it improves physical prowess. You also will need to eat and drink, which isn’t so easy to do through a helmet, trust me I’ve tried. Not to mention it get’s hot in those things. (That is one draw back of them btw. They overheat after a while since they have to produce their own energy.)[/LEFT]
4. Play to your character strengths. If you are a marine don’t go trying to repair advanced devices without some help from the engineer. If you are the scout please don’t try and do surgery that’s the medic’s job.
6. I’m the GM, and I expect you to understand that things may not always benefit everyone. If something happens to you in the story I am not doing it to you for any reason other than the story and that you were the one who got picked by luck. I’m here to help you though. If you have questions ask me. I will remove you if you are inactive for far too long though, and re-open the spot.
{Sign Ups}
Name: First (middle optional) Last
Nickname: (optional)
Age: (17-42)
Gender: (M or F)
Appearance: Paragraphs and pic (the picture is optional the writing is not). I want to know their physical appearance and their typical clothes. It isn’t required for you to wear any combat armor or anything like that though you obviously can.
Background: You’re history before the EXOs, on earth, and on the station(if you were on the station before being and EXO), and you’re experience as one. Note this is the first ground mission EVER.
Personality: I want to know who this person is almost as well as they do. Also how they cope with stress, their ideals, and a few quotes by them or another person (real or from the IC world).
EXO suit: (name, appearance (pic is ok), weapons, and other notable features. These suits are generally only a little larger than the pilot. Think War Monger from Iron Man, but each one is made specifically for its pilot, so EX. I’m playing the engineer so mine is built so I can still be dexterous while working with machines. A marine’s might be a much bigger one made for combat.)
Work skill:
Personal weapons: (one large and two small. Ex. Sniper rifle and two pistols. OR four small Ex. Two knives two pistols.)
Survival gear: (try to work off of what others brought so that everyone is equipped. Five items. Ex. Tent, flares, canteen, hatchet, tool kit)
RP example: (I’m looking for a rather large example based on this RP. I do NOT want previous work. I want an original one based on this RP. You need to Rp the scenario of your preparation for the mission which begins tomorrow. You’ve been on this station almost a year now as one of the EXOs and you are finally getting your first mission down on planet 4578. I want to see that personality and background come up in this.)
RP theme song: this is fully optional, but if you had to put a theme song to the RP what would it be?

When I found out about SAO for the first time I was ecstatic I've always wanted that living MMO, so when I checked it out I was furious that they went with the "and now you are trapped here and must play to get out." I didn't get far in the TV show, but I'd consider playing it myself with my own choices. I'd be happy to read up on SAO to get up to speed, but I have 4 questions that were things I wanted to see in SAO but didn't.
1. Can I do anything with crafting? I'm the kind of guy who likes to be hands on with his tools and weapons, so if thats a thing later in the series that I missed i'd love to know. If it isn't would you be willing to add that?
2. Does the character I play have to look like me? I'm ok with that overall, but I mean real me would be a bit boring. I'd probably run my persona who's a bit of a "romanized" as in perfected or an ideal me.
3. Will you be using any entirely original content things that you made up to compliment the show, and have little basis in it? brand new monster and what naught.
4. Can I have a bow that is used like a quarter staff sometimes and throwing knives?
EDIT: I shoulda followed that link first...

I'd be interesting if I could be from the prior group of initiates just for the dynamic of being new, but not the newest. If not. I still could be persuaded based on what these werewolves can do, and other points.

I dont use facebook. Dont have enough uses for it. I see my friends daily, and the only friend I dont I'm always in contact with through other means. Was kinda funny though to find out that there was a fb the entire time.

So after the debacle of the site going down I tried to find information for a while, but gave up since I never found anything. i'm quite glad I was bored and decided to look into the site again. It will be good to be back, as this was where I came when i wanted a really good in depth serious RP.
