Current Noble Arms is now either four years old, or three years and eleven months. The third thread had lasted for more than one year.

My Roleplay, Noble Arms: The ASEAN War, will reach its 4th year in June or July. It's been a long journey.

Despite its massive flaws, my RP, Noble Arms: The ASEAN War, is still one of the longest ongoing RPs in RPGuild - It turns 4 years old in July and the current thread itself is more than a year old.

@Letter Bee Ah, well the idea was to make a Renovation equivalent to Oswald that also may or may not be Cain's apprentice.


That would be awesome! Neapolitan Oswald, yes!
@darkred, Me. You post it after the character sheet. Also, there will be an OOC one day but we need 5 players minimum first.
@darkred, You can use Terminator.

@Double, Well, the Empress is a blank slate, but she's basically Italian Queen Minnie - Daugther of the King of Italy (founded by Naples in this timeline), converted to Orthodoxy to marry Emperor Michael, and basically a very powerful user of White Magic who can block a Gundam's Beam Rifle like in the past versions of this RP. Note that Italy was formed by Naples in Renovation's timeline, so Italian would use the Neapolitan dialect instead of the Tuscan dialect used IRL.

Oh, and the Italians in Renovation follow the Pope in Avignon, because that way, they can keep Rome as their Capital. I can change my mind about that, though.
Bumpity bump.
Ascot felt what Serenity was feeling, and he was glad that she empathized with him well enough to keep him hidden. So he said as he received the new coordinates, "Sure. Do I drive the Mech myself, or do you take have Ashbringer taken via drone?"

A reminder that he was still a kid and didn't know everything. Nevertheless, once Ashbringer was being shipped to Serenity's private dock, Ascot bowed to Serenity and said, "Thank you - As I said before, I didn't expect to receive such kindness." A pause, "And it is kindness - People don't usually treat me this well."

Ascot knew this was merely basic human decency, that this was not special and giving a price for basic human decency was a bad thing. But after he had been so emotionally deprived, he couldn't help himself. After all which had happened to him, he couldn't help but point out that it had become rare for him to receive kindness. The young man then said, "I'm not blind, I'm going to have to move to another residential area after this, right? For safety reasons."

Then his stomach rumbled, "I haven't eaten yet. Mind if we get food afterwards?"

It was only in the seconds after that Ascot had noticed that he had given Serenity his secrets, opened up to her, and she didn't actually judge him except as a safety risk. And it was only if he was the latter that she would banish him. And right now, she even empathized, sympathized, with his quest for justice. He had been using his last secret, his psionic hyper-empathy, to read her emotions and even pick up a few stray thoughts. This was unintentional, but he also knew that he might still be judged if he revealed that power. So he wouldn't give away this last secret.

Ascot could feel the surge of surprise and fear - For him as well as for herself - Which emanated from the station owner as she told him not to use his Psionic powers. It appeared that the old suspicions still lived on in this space station. He briefly nodded, only glad that it seemed Serenity was going to be reasonable about this. "I'm sorry," he said as apologetically as possible, "And thank you for your offer - It's both unexpected yet kind. Again, if I can do anything to pay you back, I will."

And with that, he led Serenity to the Ashbringer's hangar bay, a small chamber more fit for an exosuit or oversized power armor than a 'true' mech. Ashbringer stood there, docked, with its crimson surface glistening despite its year-long combat career - It must have been cleaned already. Aside from the original frame, which was of unknown manufacture, it had also been retrofitted with Vexeyul weapons, which confirmed that Ascot had fought on their side. But its most notable feature was that it was so small, only 4.51 meters tall.

"Ain't she a beauty?" the sixteen-year old said proudly. "Don't be decieved by the size - She's much more powerful than her size."

1/18/2021 - Might set the RP in a 'No-COVID' universe.
Ascot nodded, then said, "To be honest, I came here to get my mech maintained, anyway. So sure, you can see it and let's talk on the way - Let me lock the house up, and we can go."

-------

As they walked to where Ashbringer was docked, Ascot said, "My backstory was rather simple - My parents were dissidents against the Federation and I ran away just before they can get arrested and I sent to a more 'loyal' family who would 'reprogram' me. I then used my money to travel from spaceport to spaceport for a while before becoming a minor smuggler and thief. I then found my Mech, Ashbringer, while stealing from some rich guy's treasury and it awoke my latent... Potential."

To show Serenity what he meant, he created a small, orange barrier of psychic energy, which he dispelled almost as soon as it manifested. "Yes, I'm psionic," he continued, "Anyway, I spent one full year fighting against the Federation alongside the Vyexul and Outer-worlders. Then I went to this place with enough money in order to rest for a while, get my mech maintained, and of course, find wherever my parents have been imprisoned so that I can rescue them."

They got to where Ashbringer, the 4.51-meter-tall mech, was, and Ascot remarked, "Ain't she a beauty? Either way, just a tune-up - Don't take it apart."

Then, a thought, "By the way, if there are any 'jobs' I can do for you while I work on getting my family freed, I can do them if they pay well enough..."

@CitrusArms
The door opened to reveal a sixteen-year-old kid in a jacket, shirt, pants and a simple set of slippers, a sixteen-year old boy who opened his eyes wide in surprise upon seeing Serenity then quickly recovered enough to let her in, saying, "Ms. Serenity, I didn't expect to see you! Come in, come in..."

Letting her inside the interior of his home, Ascot hoped that the scrupulously-clean interiors didn't come off as too bland - He just didn't want to be attached to his temporary home. Either way, he continued, "I'll have the drones make you some tea - Or I can make it myself, whichever you prefer."

Now, why would the station owner come here? Is it curiosity about the mech, or does she have something to do for me? Ascot thought as he waited for Serenity to respond to his offer of tea. Once he had paused long enough, the young man continued, "I presume that this has to do with the Ashbringer? If so, I'm prepared to answer whatever you want as long as it doesn't endanger my life and safety - After all, I have my own secrets."

And he did, having fought against the Federation alongside the latest push by the Vexyeul and the outer colonists before parting ways with them (amicably) due to differing ideologies and some whiff of mistrust. That and upon finding out he was psychic, they chose to communicate with him via robots and paper mail instead of face-to-face. Either way, he had gotten a good haul of money and a lead as to what Federation Prison his parents were locked up in. Now all he needed was more money and reliable partners in order to assault said prison and secure his parents' freedom.

Then they can be a happy family again.

@CitrusArms, Good post, I'll post later.
