The desire to join an RP instead of run one, but the lack of anything being advertised or open that fits my interests

Why are people posting 1x1 'looking for' threads in the main section, when there's a whole section for 1x1 RP's?

It'd be nice to be able to *play* an RP I'm interested in for once, rather than having to *run* one all the time. Of course, doesn't help that I'm picky about what I enjoy.

Hmmmmm... PM inviting me to an RP on Discord by a user who just joined the site and has no posts? Doesn't sound iffy at all, no sir.

Bio

I've been roleplaying in one form or another since the late '90's. I've played as many tabletop games as I have online ones, and the quality of both has varied wildly.
I have an active imagination, and I love immersive, descriptive roleplaying. My genres of choice are sci-fi, and modern-day (with a sci-fi twist). I like RP's that mix reality with fiction, and throw an unusual and exciting twist into an otherwise normal setting - something like Stargate SG-1 would be an example, or Battle: Los Angeles. An almost recognizable world, but with some sci-fi twists.
I'm a fan of military and action-based RP's that do this especially, and they are easily my favourite - though I rarely see any that appeal to me enough - all the military RP's are too 'plain', and anything else modern day is usually fantasy or fandom. Or *shudder* school RPs...

I have a lot of fandoms; Transformers, Macross, MLP: FiM, Fallout, Battletech, Ace Combat, and others to varying degrees. But I don't often join fandom RPs because the ones I'm into don't come up, or I am very picky about my RPs and their plots and feel.

I don't play in free, as I find the short posts and bad spelling and grammar infuriating. I like a lot of depth, story, setting and character to my RPs, so am usually found in Casual and sometimes Advanced. Though, usually running my own RPs.

I'm 43 years old, and live in the UK, so I may not be on all the time.
I also like playing non-human characters, especially anthro ones, robots or synthetics, or some hybrid of both.

Outside of my RP tastes and hobby; I read a lot of books, play wargames and TTRPGs, make model aircraft and vehicles, and am also a brony and furry. I have been running a large local furmeet group for the last 10 years and have been involved in running a very successful UK MLP convention.

Gundam Unicorn takes place in the Universal Century, which is part of the same timeline as the One Year War.

Essentially, Gundam has numerous timelines/realities/whichever your preferred term is.

The Universal Century is the 'original' setting, and began with the original Mobile Suit Gundam: 0079, and it's numerous sequels, prequels and side-quels, such as 0083, 08th MS Team, Unicorn, Char's Counterattack, F91, Victory, etc.

Then you also have the Alternate Universe stories, such as Gundam Wing, G-Gundam, Gundam X, Seed & Seed Destiny, Gundam 00, etc. These all take place in their own self-contained universes and timelines, and don't relate to each other, or to the main universe. However, they contain a lot of the same themes and ideas (space colonies, mobile suits, war is a living hell, no-one comes through war unscathed, usually a villain with a mask who is a foil for the hero) as the original Gundam series/setting.

If you're having ALL mobile suits being mass-produced, you probably need to come up with a reason why they all exist in the same timeline first, and which events have or have not taken place.
There were a few comments on the task to come, but as Ariella had expected, the others were aware of what the mission would require, and were prepared to do their part.
As such, they were headed in on course, the coastline visible as a dark band on the horizon as they crept ever closer.

Being aware of the mission was one thing - taking it on was another. Her concentration was consumed by that, and by the specifics coming up as she kept the jet on a straight-and-narrow heading toward the Libyan coast. Already, she was aware of height-and-range finding radars sweeping the skies, the Kfirs' instruments reading the seeking radio waves.
Rolling her shoulders and flexing her gloved hands on the instruments, the Israeli pilot took a long breath of air in her mask as the land began to resolve itself - before the radio burst to life with another message.
"Excalibur one, this is Central. Please be advised, we have an update to your mission. Other Avalon aircraft will be joining you on exfil. They'll be available to cover you upon your exit from the operational area. They'll be drawing off the enemy air on your departure from the airspace, leaving you to make a fast exit. They would've been with you sooner, but weather conditions and local problems at their location forced delays in departure. However, they will be joining you and squawking friendly, over"
Ariella muttered a few choice words at the surprise interruption, before toggling the transmit button in reply.
"Roger that, Central. We are to expect friendlies from Avalon on our exit leg from the airspace, confirm, over?"
"Yes, that's right. Also, be advised that long-distance readings indicate an unusual amount of comm traffic in the interior of the country, and a number of high-band radars in operation. We've also been monitoring a lot of IR emissions. It shouldn't interfere with your mission, but maintain awareness, over"
"Roger," she replied hesitantly. "Excalibur one, out".
She tapped her index finger on the throttle in thought. The help was great news, but the increased radar, radiation and chatter had her mind ticking over. Could the enemy be on to them? What did this mean? While sounding nearly useless, the advice from the orbiting AWACS was right: being aware of their situation would be the only thing to help them out in the end. Hitting the toggle to change to the unit frequency, she began to drop altitude as they neared the coastline.
"Listen up, team - slight amendment to our plan. Friendlies will be joining us to provide air cover on the exit leg from hostile airspace. I've also been advised that we might be expected, so keep your eyes and ears sharp, and stand ready for patrols or other hostile action before we stir up trouble. It might be nothing - maybe we just caught them running a test or an exercise. But whatever it is, it doesn't do to get caught short. Heads on a swivel, team".
The words said, she dropped another hundred feet, until the desert scrub was rocketing past only two hundred feet below the delta-wing jets' belly. Slight nudges of the stick were enough to gently rise and fall with the terrain and structures below, all of which flashed past. The Initial Point - IP - for the mission was rolling up on the HUD projected inside her visor, and she kept an eye on the two icons representing the recon aircraft of the group. Any moment now they'd rise in altitude, and she blast out ECM 'music' from her plane, giving them a chance to carry out their recon mission.
"Stand by, stand by..." she said evenly, with a note of rising tension and excitement in her accented voice, hand hovering over the ECM TRANSMIT switch.
"Mark!" she called, and jabbed one finger into the button, snap rolling to give the others clearance, and spread out the targets over the enemies' scopes.
"Go baby go," she muttered, willing the recon planes to be safe for the precious minutes it would take them to do their job.
Scott had swapped the mag in the MP5 as they'd made their way carefully down the slope from the earlier firefight. As soon as Jan gave the orders, he nodded and hunkered down in position, keeping the left flank of the attack covered. Currently, there was nothing to be concerned about. No sign of enemies closing in, and nothing otherwise of note to be concerned with. All the same, he exchanged a glance and a nod toward Zhenya, double-checking that he hadn't missed anything to be worried about, before turning his attention back to the area under his careful eye.
You'll have to wait for the first part of the mission, though you will be mentioned so it's not completed out of nowhere when you do turn up.
I will make it plain (please excuse the pun) when you're able to join in, though. Sorry to keep you waiting!
Don't forget to activate the challenge re:mission 6 of the campaign! You get a buttload of free stocked fuel for it. And remember to check the notifications alongside all the challenges, as you can get a bunch of free fuel and other goodies as you start.
Glad your computer is getting back on its' feet! I hope that it sorts itself out for you. I'll try and make sure my next post is a good one.

I'll also shoot a PM your way with my PSN ID so we can play ACI together if we both happen to be online. I haven't played with a friend yet, so that would be good (and it's another challenge to complete on the game!)
Ahoy, I am back from my holiday. It was a refreshing break, and I spent a great time with great friends.

Regarding the RP, I'm eager to get a post up, but I'd like to get a clarification on what Scott's going to be shooting at - are we looking at a security office, station, barracks or whatnot? Can you just give me a little heads up, and then I'll throw out a post.
I'm back from my holiday. It was a welcome and much-needed break from everything bugging me, and I feel like my batteries are recharged. I'll get a post up probably tomorrow moving us along in the mission.

For you new folks, I have an idea on how to introduce you all.
My thinking was that, originally, your characters had been scheduled to join the Nimue in the English Channel, after flying over from Aviano in Italy. However, with the attack that occurred from North Africa to Southern Europe, you all had to scramble on emergency sorties, and the ship left earlier than expected anyway, leaving you to join us late.

I will write in a mention of this in the next post, and the events and developments in that post will also point the way towards how you can step into the main game and its' plot/events too. It sounds a bit intangible and confusing now, but it'll make sense once I get the post up, I promise!
I'm back from my holiday. Unfortunately, I can see that no-one has made a post at all though... doesn't bode well for the RP.
I'm back, and as promised I got a post up moving us out. I won't wait long in throwing out a second one either, describing what you'll all encounter at your various destinations, too.
