The Humongous Mecha RP (Sign Up)

Accepted.

Here is my first char, I think I may try to sign up with a second one. BTW, I have no sense of scale, so many info down here is very vague. If someone has an opinion on what the values of size, speed, range, etc. should be, I can rephrase it better if one tell me his/her opinion.

• Name: Alphonse also known as: Alpha
• Age: 12, but counting from the point the engineering of Project AIM started. If the theorethical and research years are counted, 16.
• Gender: Male, even though he has no physical gender, this is just how he identifies himself as.
• Appearance: Awaiting for orders, sir~ Though you can expect see masses of cables and other equipment inside him.
• Personality: Alphonse is in a good mood, most of the time. He also likes lots of things, like painting, music, sculptures, photography, plays, movies... Well, any form of art, basically. He is very enthusiastic and cheerful, and likes fighting monsters for the good of everyone! ...He dislikes human casualities, however, and has problems whenever his actions may lead to that kind of collateral damage. Alphonse also donates his money to humanitary help groups and frequently work as a voluteer in any kind of work which may help people, be they victins of monsters, natural disasters or the commom cold, so he usually hangs around hospitals and knows first aid, but he is much better at fixing Mechas and other machines, such as himself.
• History: Since his birth, Alphonse was raised to become the best mecha pilot that there ever was. His mother was the responsible for guiding his studies towards that aim, asides from literally focusing every one of his days to the improvement of his combat skills. But halfway through there, Alphonse showed no social skills and no creativity, to name a few characteristics he didn't have. From that point onwards, his studies and training changed, to also develop traits that would be helpful to him. He developed such traits very well. Too well, his mother would think. Believing they couldn't change what they had created, his parents decided to leave him aside, and to focus on his sister. And this time, to make her learn it correctly. In depth explanation: Alpha was developed by Project AIM (Artificially Intelligent Mechanoid) to become the most efficient weapon angainst Eldritchian monsters. Halfway through it, after he stopped being an "empty" shell, lead researcher Anastasia noticed his lack of care towards "resources" and his lack of creativity to deal with monsters, to name a few. They tried to "humanize" him, as some described it, but the result wasn't the expected one. His worry would lead him to disobey orders which would cause too many collateral damage, and raised his interest in more "trivial" matters. It was decided then, that the project should continue, but focusing on another android.
• Mecha Name: DAGON - Definitive Aerial Gunner of Omni Nature (aka: "Dragon")
  • Mecha Appearance: Proper mecha mode◊, aircraft mode◊. View from behind for both◊. Dragon's main characteristic is his power source, which hold an extreme amount of energy. This explains the reason why its chosen weapon is nothing less than lasers. Many, many lasers. Except in aircraft mode, of course, which sacrifices most of its weapons for an ungodly speed.
    • Whale Hunt: Dragon's body is covered by over 30 laser guns, whose main characteristic is their incredible range. The target may be above, aside, behind, under or in front of him, Dragon can hit him without moving at all. The shots are precise not because of the mecha itself, but because of the pilot's skills. While made to target multiple (airbone or not) foes, it works very well angainst one fast aircraft, or a single terrestrial monster, as the Dragon can simply beam spam it to death.
    • Ahab's Arpoons: Dragon's twin rifles don't have the multitude of targets his guns have, nor the rate of fire, but in exchange, they are stronger. When under fire for long enough, one's shield can't support its power, as instead of detonating the target, these lasers are made to pierce through them.
    • Cannon Fire: By using his "arpoons" as a sideways wave motion turning fork, and charging them for about 10 seconds, Dragon can fire his most powerful laser. While repeated firing can break any kind of shield within a minute, a continuous shot can "slice" through a target. The first, however, spend his energy reserves faster than normal, and the later damages his rifles more.
    • Aircraft Mode: Even though the Dragon can fly normaly, it can move at high speed while in this mode, in which it can propel itself beyond the sound barrier. By doing moving at such high speed, it spends most of its energy fueling its jets, spending slightly more energy than usual. But the Dragon can't use most of its weapons, save for his rifles, with a limited vertical and horizontal range, and some of his guns, and thus it saves more energy than when it is fighting. Even though it never happened, the Dragon could, theoretically, fly up to space, but it's unknown if it would have the necessary fuel to come back, nor what kind of damage its armor would suffer. Also, while in this mode, the Dragon can activate a cloaking device.

Mind if I sign up as a member of the science team? They will also have a mech of course.

Accepted

Sure go ahead

Hey, mind if I edit some stuff I forgot to add? Also explain some stuff I wrote?

Something Tells me that both Emil and Alphonse will be quite confused (and impressed) with each others' mech.

I also think the same.

Well, I went onwards and changed the details at the end of his personality (the medical skills part sounded better than what I had in mind, and I actually was going to take it out, but given the time he spends around in hospitals and the fact he's a robot I decided to turn it into an informed ability), and wrote a cloaking device to his mecha's airbone form (I was going to have it simply radar-proof, but since our main enemies are monsters, it seemed kinda useless; I don't care if I have to take it out, however).

I was going to say he has nanobots or something in case he got hurt, but it also seemed unnecessary. He also has wi-fi connection to anything he can have wi-fi connection with (I think there is a trope which apply to it, but I can't remember the name), but he usually uses that to interact with his mecha. Also, since he's a machine, he could simply transfer his conscience to the mecha to control it with his thoughts (or something), but he doesn't, because the ability originated as an overriding of the mecha's system, but he sees it as A.I. mind rape. He took it out of him himself, and his sister (which I'm going to write asap) was taken out by SERVE scientists, because backstory.

It's all good.

• Name: Glenn Saturos
• Age: 19
• Gender: Male
• Appearance: His body doesn't stand for his personality, as he's a rather small guy, standing only 1,72 meters tall; he is also rather slim with a weak build, even with years of training to fix up that flaw; with short black hair, indigo blue eyes and almost pale skin. He wears a dark blue trench coat over a black shirt almost all the time, along with long black pants.
• Personality: Glenn is the sort of guy who takes everything seriously, Up To Eleven. If he were to meet Seto Kaiba, they'd be hamming at each other all the way to the end of the episode. He's very elitist and perfectionist, holding high standards for himself and for others, acting like an Ace Pilot and Insuferable Genius, something that easily annoys people. Even so, he wouldn't be such a terrible company since he is quite sociable, intelligent and responsible, if only it weren't for his absurd ammount of seriousness.
• History: He was raised in a fair family where money was concerned, being forced into a routine of studies and having high standards placed on him since his childhood. Contrary to popular belief, Glenn wasn't rebelious or against it... He actually loved whenever his parents praised him and thought of him as a prodigy, and he loved getting results from his hard work, standing out from the masses, as it somehow made him feel special. As a teen, he thought that a life of gathering knowledge and studies were better than a hedonist one without worries or any sort of responsibility, finding himself better than his classmates who had little to no worries about life and about their future. That being, he had very little companions, and not a friend to speak of, looking like an anti-social nerd to everyone else, but they couldn't deny he had many qualities worth boasting about. Later on, when he finished his studies, he signed up for the SERVE in order to join them and help in twarting the Eldritchian monsters threatening his world, for he thought that was a more important matter than finding some other kind of work... After all, is there a more noble cause than protecting your country and issuing its survival, and make a difference by your own capable hands?
• Mecha Name: Aile Chevalier (called "Aesir" by Glenn)
  • Mecha Appearance: [1]. Stands 22,3 meters tall.
  • Other Data: It's a unit that specializes in melee combat, and it's also capable of hovering, although it lacks the ability to fly.

Its Cypher Sword also doubles as a gun, allowing it to turn into the Cypher Gun. It has two boosters that are equipped on its back, but are also used as the barrels for its Impulse Cannon.

Accepted.

I don't know if 80 meters are too little or too much, nor if 600 is too little or too much too. The same foes for every other number down here. Also, I think Alphonse's mecha should be about 30 meters. But again, I dunno how much that is.

• Name: Bethany also known as: Beta
• Age: 8, but counting from the point she was initially engineered. If her theorethical and research years are counted, 10.
• Gender: Female, even though she has no physical gender, this is how she is identified as.
• Appearance: The girl herself, 2 meters high. Expect to see masses of cables and other equipment inside her.
• Personality: The only thing she truly likes is killing monsters. This is her favorite thing in the world, and everything else is secondary. She doesn't care if there are human casualities, or any kind of casuality at all. She only wants to destroy those mother****, until the dead bodies are completely and utterly destroyed. And that's the only moment she ever smiles. Bethania is also very hot-blooded, and won't take any kind of insults or jokes very well. Since she was downgraded to a normal SERVE mecha-pilot, she has been into a perpetual bad mood. Beware the beast.
• History: Bethany was always a weapon to destroy monster. Since her birth, she took over her brother's studies and overall training, growing to become the weapon of monster destruction he didn't. Her parents succeeded... Too well. Differently from her brother, she was uncreative (read: dumb) and lacked care for collateral damage from her fights with monsters. This eventually led to the desctruction of the whole base she and her brother were made and grew up, in one of her fights angainst a monster. Since then, she had her ability to override other Mecha's system to take control over them forcefully removed, while her weakling brother asked to have his removed too. They were then downgraded to "normal" mecha pilots and were "free" to become normal mech pilots, at the new group which was recently made. Also, her original mecha was too... Damaged, and since it was considered a loss of resources at her hands ("How did she spend eight hundred missiles in one monster?!?! It was freakin' 20 meters tall!!!"), her DATH was changed for a different one.
• Mecha Name: DETH - Destroyer: Earth-Type Humanoid (aka: "Death")
  • Mecha Appearance: Closed◊, open◊. Side view◊, back view◊. Death stands about 80 meters tall, built entirely for offensive purposes. Can hover, but no fly.
    • Missile Pockets: Despite her previous expenses with missiles, she was granted a Destroyer, and thus it has missiles. Of course, it holds up to 600 missiles, and that's not even half she had in her previous mecha. Her only attack with those missiles are missile barrages, which quickly spend they all. She doesn't admit, but having less missiles makes her sad.
    • Plasma Launcher: As the name suggests, the cannon mounted is able to fire a high-density load of superheated plasma, at a very slow pace (it takes about 30 seconds to load again). The plasma pellet usually explodes on impact, dealing high damage and melting anything at an 8 meters radius.
    • Grim Gun: The weapon she carries with her right hand. It's a combination of gatling gun with a rifle atop, and can act as both at the same time. The machine gun fires non-explosive rifled 90mm rounds at 4 shots per second rate. The rifle fires 120 mm rounds every 5 seconds, and it causes a small explosion after the impact, capable of destroying a car.
    • Grenade Launcher: Death's other gun, which is held by its left arm. Has a regular rate of fire, and its detonation is much stronger than Grim Rifle, able to destroy a truck, but it doesn't have a piercing power.
    • Combat Mecha Armor: A normal, replaceable shield. Can hold up an explosion, but several explosions would probably destroy it.
    • Chest Blaster: In case a monster gets too close, she can fire a stream of plasma combined with artificial lightning at it. Deals a significant amount of damage, but isn't usually used in combat.
    • Tracking: To find monsters and kill it: this is an ability both Bethany and her mechas are specialized into, with the use of the best technology to find even the "most invisible" ones.

Accepted

• Name: Hiroko Takano
• Age: 15
• Gender: Female
• Appearance: Hiroko has a long white hair that goes all the way to her back, dark brown eyes like her brother and is about the same height as him, she's quite thin and she wears a purple skirt and shirt which is also painted white in some parts, like the collar, she also has one silver wristlet in each arm and wears white and purple boots.
• Personality: Hiroko is normally a very kind and generous person, always up to share and help others out and is also quite a determined person, not letting anything stop her easily, she also worships her brother, Akio, and is also very protective of him, not letting anyone say anything bad of him, however, all of that is due to self-esteem issues that came with Akio being the more talented one, as such, she's completely dependant on her brother to do certain things, and always does what he says without questioning because she believes that whatever he's telling her to do is the better option, even if she doesn't agree with it.
• History: Hiroko always lived peacefully with her family, but she took notice that Akio was taking a surprisingly long time to go back home, which was rather unusual for him, curious, she decided to track him down one day and saw him repairing Rizen, completely dumbfounded with how talented her brother was with machinery, she soon went out to tell her parents about the fact, but she realized that they might not take that well, so she decided to stay quiet instead. When Akio revealed everything himself after fixing Rizen and showing off a bit of what he could do with him, Hiroko was understandly jealous of him, even more once he was recruited by S.E.R.V.E. One day however, she would track him down to the base and try to be like her brother: A mech pilot.
• Mecha: Wild Falken, 21,7 meters◊ nicknamed Falchion.
• Mecha Skills:
  • Vulcan Guns - In the head there are a pair of small-caliber guns.
  • Roche Saber - This is the Wild Falken's only melee weapon. It is a beam saber projected from the forearms.
  • Split Missile - These are missiles that can split into much smaller missiles. They are stored in the knees and in the shoulders.
  • Ochstan Rifle The Ochstan Rifle has a ball cartridge to fire solid rounds similar to a railgun. As an energy beam weapon, it can fire beam machinegun rounds or beam cannon rounds.
  • Falken Cutter - Fires a small boomerang type weapon that is quite sharp, usually striking the enemy in both sent and return maneuvers.
  • It can also fly, and Akio, knowing Rizen's programming, would probably try to give the Falken the same auto-pilot that Rizen has and also an AI.

So, yeah, this is why she's only going to appear later on

Don't worry take all the time you need. We catch you up on what you've missed out once you sign up and I accept you

Thanks... I might be a long time before I get the full form filled out.

Don't worry we can wait, the real big plot hasn't started in this RP yet anyway

Bumping for anyone who wants some hot mecha-on-alien action.

Thanks, I'm new to this so Im not sure what to do.

Possibly have the SERVES higher ups introduce 'em to the squad?
