Souls of Steel: A Giant Mecha RP

What? Duct Tape is exactly like friendship in every way! ;)

Souls of Steel: A Giant Mecha RP

I just finished Star Driver, finally! I really enjoyed it despite it being kind of formulaic and "Mecha of the Week." The Magic-girl-esque transformations and summonings were cute at first but they just burned three minutes worth of episode time, so that was kind of annoying. There was also plenty of fanservice for those that like that in your anime. But considering that these characters were almost all high school aged (or older), it is a little skeeze, despite the majority of the characters being drawn as quite a bit more mature than high school. Though the fanservice was not at the same level as highschool of the dead, not by any measure. As with almost all shonen (and seinen) anime, the power of friendship and love will overcome any foe!

So with that said, let's go team friendship, with our hands clasped together in friendship we will defeat the evil Cruxi! *cue rainbows and sparkles*

@Evil Snowman As long as she doesn't mind a few giantess/amazonian jokes, it should all be fine.

I am imagining Zim and Valeria interacting as "Tol and Smol". lol
I think personality wise they would groove together pretty well, the outcast freaks of the group physically speaking. Totally digging the character and werk designs.

@Jasonhero No Worries. I for one appreciate you checking in!

@ArkmageddonCat Me as a player and Me as a character are two different stories. I can have all the foresight and predictions in the world, but Zim or El can only work with the scope of information with which they are provided, similar to how none of our characters know about Elora pleading with Katya to "Kill the Son" because our characters aren't there and Katya hasn't shared that information with anybody else. The only other characters that know about this particular situation are under GM control, so you can pretty well assume that it is "need to know." And as so far as "higher ups figuring it out" then I would like to point out that our Executive Officer, Lorenzo, thought that it was perfectly safe to transport this particular prisoner back to our base because it was in some sort of stasis pod design to keep its powers at bay and was clearly so enthusiastic about getting his hands on the prisoner that he couldn't be bothered to introduce our newest member(s) properly. So our highest member of our direct line of command is too distracted to see it and has probably assured any of his peers that everything is fine, so they aren't doing anything other than the normal security protocols other than perhaps tighter security on the elite's particular cell/containment unit. Also, a fun thing to note: The only member of Squad Sigma who carries a weapon is Katya as a portion of her commission. Though I imagine that Elise does as well. Additionally, I don't think that any sort of weapons training was ever mentioned, but I have to imagine that our characters were given at least the bare minimum of firearms training.

@Apollosarcher That is true, with any luck it'll work out that way!

What is the point? We brought in a Cruxi elite with psychic abilities. It has been broadcasting it's position the entire time, if nothing else. Using the same trick that we did to find their base, to find ours. So I suspect that we will be "caught unprepared" and have to fight our way to the hangers and get into the Werks to rebuke the onslaught. I don't think that Lorenzo would send us out into combat without our werks, the only reason a pilot should have to fight hand to hand is because the fight came to us, or our werks are destroyed or otherwise incapacitated. Just my thoughts and opinions.

Souls of Steel: A Giant Mecha RP

You know what else I feel like? I feel like it is about time for a hand to hand combat mission, without our werks. I feel like that might be a thing soon.

@DarkRecon Oh, hey, El is a total noob, she would have never seen combat prior to training stuff, so the run-in with her in the past that you referred to in your post is probably going to have more to do with her as a princess and less to do with her as a pilot or squadmate, so keep that in mind as we progress further.

@ArkmageddonCat I have never played any of those games, and haven't even heard of some of them. lol. I am a gamer wannabe. I don't have the time or money to afford games or systems to play on them. Blizzard and Nintendo pretty much gets all of my game moneys these days. And while Blizzard is now hosting Destiny 2 on PC for Activision, I still don't have the moneys at the moment to play. Sad Panda is Poor, hence all of my rage...

@Ariamis I know right? I mean I am still really excited for the show, but if my Mecha Design choices aren't any indication I am fairly partial to mechs that line up more with the Gundam body types, but I also like Macross, Gurren Laggan, Envegalion, and other similar things, so I do vary in my tastes, so I am really hoping that the show is good enough to carry the less than preferred mechanical design. I mean Gurren Laggan is pretty crazy with their mechanical design and I loved it because the story and action were so crazy. I am also going to start watching Star Driver here soon. I have attempted to watch it a few times and always get distracted from finishing it, so hopefully, I can actually watch it all before I get distracted with the January releases and, well, you know... real life.
