Pacific Rim spin off?

So I am completely obsessed with the movie Pacific Rim and the thought of giant, man operated robot/fighting machines. Times are tough and near the end, nearly apocalyptic due to the alien invasions that keep occurring all over the world. There are several bases set up around the world, all under ground/water, all very secret, and all in communication with each other. There are machines that can be piloted by a single person, and there are machines that can take doubles or triples depending on the team and the links. For those that have not seen the movie, each machine that has more than 1 operated has to have a brain link to help them control the machines and be in sync with each other. I don't want it to be exactly like the movie, obviously, but something similar or roughly based off of it.

Would anyone be interested in an RP like this? Also, I am relatively new to the site and and still learning the basics, so would anyone want to tackle it together?

Grace sat up slightly as Christie showed off her powers. Wolverine was one of her idols, and it was really cool that she got to meet someone that had something similar to him. She looked over at Will as he made a snarky remark and then proceed to show off his flying energy disks. His power was also pretty nifty, but then again, so was everyone else's. Grace smiled as Sophie came to Christie's aid. She liked Sophie because she was kind to most people, but had a temper to match the flames she threw around. "I like your abilities, Christie," She said sheepishly and blushed a little. "They do remind me of one of my idols. Don't listen to Will. Sophie's right. it's awesome."

She glanced around the room to see who was still left to introduce themselves. She made a mental note to try and remember everyone's name and ability, but there were a lot of us. A lot more than Latour usually took on. That made Grace a little nervous. With a small smile, she glanced over at Will, who was still pulling on his pant's leg trying to douse the remaining embers. This is going to be a fun year, she thought.

@Royzooka
Thank you!

Okay guys... I have a super dumb question...The last time I was on this site it was not this difficult, but how do you make the stuff in your posts centered. I apparently know howto add pictures and color, but that's about it. Do you type and format elsewhere and then just copy and paste? WHY IS THIS SO CONFUSING?! *drops head to desk*

Grace noticed a lull in the introductions and looked around hoping that someone else would go. She hated being in the spotlight. She glanced over at James, who was munching on his breakfast. "At least you solved that issue," She whispered with a small smile. She stood up and tucked her hair into a loose ponytail. Everyone turned to stare at her and she blushed furiously. "Hi everyone. My name's Grace. My code name is Typhoon." She heard some people chuckling under their breath. Yeah, Yeah. Someone so quiet and shy couldn't possibly live up to that name, She thought to herself and bit her lip. 'I'm just going to step through here. Please watch from the windows," she suggested.

She closed the doors to the range firmly behind her and walked to a spot where everyone could see her clearly. Grace was wearing jeans, converse, and a shirt specially made for her at the institute to fit her wings. She shrugged out of her jacket and blushed furiously. "You can do this. It's okay. You can do this," She repeated quietly. She squared her shoulders and took a deep, steeling breath. "Show time."

Her wings unfolded around her. They were light gray, almost the color of smoke. Their span was 7ft from tip to tip. The feathers were soft as silk. She beat them once, twice, and then she was in the air. She rose only a few feet and hovered there. Her eyes turned a slightly different, brighter blue and the air around her started swirling. Wind appeared from no where and everything in the range was being thrown about. Grace pushed her wings together in front of her and a stream of air shot straight out in front of her and bounced off the opposite wall. Inside the range was complete chaos with the wind whipping around uncontrollably.

She stopped and lowered herself back to the ground. She looked up at all the faces in the window and sighed. "There you have it folks," she stated, "Typhoon." She tucked her wings securely back under her shoulder blades and pulled on her jacket. With a slight smile she reentered the room and took her seat. she looked down at her lap and picked at a loose string on the zipper, waiting for someone else to take the spotlight off of her because people were still staring.

Lond en' i' Astald

Peyton grabbed her satchel and all but darted out of the room. Enough was enough. She was tired of trying to create vines, tired of setting things on fire, tired of conflict and people being assholes. As she walked into the hallway she glanced over her shoulder at the others leaving the room. "On to defense training," she mumbled quietly, flung her bag over her shoulder, and trudged in the direction of the gym.

Lond en' i' Astald

Peyton glanced over her shoulder and looked at the fray unfolding behind her. She rolled her eyes and sighed quietly. One class. One class without drama. She forgot her task at hand and the flowers wilted on her desk. "I am so done with this," she muttered. Her fingers tapped quietly on the wooden surface of her desk as she turned to the clock once more. Just a few more minutes. Just a few. The commotion was getting louder behind her. She cringed. Something very bad was likely to happen. Jullia was pretty good with fire, and Cal was pushing her buttons.

location-> outside to the basement
Interaction: Everyone

Grace tucked a stray lock of hair behind her ear and bit her lip. The breeze was blowing slightly and she enjoyed the feeling of the fresh air on her face. She was sitting on a low branch in a fir tree outside the courtyard of the institute. She had gotten up to watch the sun come up before she went to class to face new people. It was the best way to calm her nerves. She scanned her ipod one more time an selected one of her favorite songs. "Castle of Glass" by Linkin Park. She had a few minutes before class started. "Crap", she muttered.

She jumped down and darted into the school. She navigated the halls like a champ and made it through the maze in the basement in record time it seemed. She stopped just outside the door and listened to the light chatter. Her face heated with a blush as red as a tomato and she tried to square her shoulders, making sure her wings were tucked tightly under the shoulder blades. Grace took one last deep breath and pushed the doors open. Her eyes scanned the room, panicked for a moment, and her eyes touched briefly on Professor Latour's encouraging smile. "Hi everyone," She muttered quietly, her face heating up again. She took a seat quietly and tucked her hair behind her ear.
