The Humongous Mecha RP (Sign Up)

Well I did plan for him to be a villain.

Perhaps as an anti-villain who isn't blind to what the Big Bad is doing? Who sees him as even more expendable than the rest of his ship's crew and monsters?

Sure, OK, so then what is his role in the end? Saviour? Adding on more grief?

He'll probably try to stop Big bad's plan to destroy Earth near the end of the story by teaming up with SERVE and telling them everything he knows... Only for Big Bad to reveal that he has Fasalina under his control as a psychically controlled puppet (Which will be explained in detail should the game get that far), forcing him to decide: Earth or his Lover.

Er... hmm. Is that like the only way to slip him in? I didn't mean for a storyline but a way in. So Chaotic Neutral then or Chaotic Evil? If not then he's working with the villains but in a sort of 'we just point him in the direction and send him off, we have no control'.

There'd be no choice he'd gladly go tell Earth to screw itself, which is why I was hoping for them to just be an inseperable team.

Yeah looks like we're stuck in a but of a problem here.

I'm not sure of any solution here currently

Maybe he could just be a psycho who believes himself to be a fictional character?

OK. How about he starts off as an observer, but then a Mook of the badguy fires on him because he's stupid, it's shitty ai, or whatnot, so he gets mad and decides to pick a side, temporarily. Then this can start a chain reaction and the other heroes can do their own thing with this opening. I don't intend for him to cler out every villain but maybe if he puts a nick in their attack line and then bam.

It could be that he basically got all his knowledge fromw atching a tv show and so when he meets the heroes, he believes himself to be that character, I dunno, just not really a big fan of the concept of this suddenly become a fanfic RP, so that's my suggestion. He's crazy, and he thinks he's a fictional character. But JR said it's okay...I just don't think it would fit. Sorry if I sound like an ass.

Honestly I don't know what to do with this character.

It seems like too much trouble shoehorning him in

Well, you could make a human character that we could have come in with our upcoming batch of pilots.

Yeah you could make an Original Character instead..

We've got an upcoming thing where more pilots are coming in, you can try making something for that,

@JR didn't Strigon make a Psycho Prototype a while ago?

Yeah, he did some time ago.

@Big Daddy P, you can make a pilot who finds the Mech, and uses it but goes insane, believing himself to be a fictional character.

But the prototype was buried underneath SERVE HQ. Unless I retcon it to be merely one of three prototypes...

...Never mind then.

So... what are the objections exactly? I'm not trying to fit his continuity into the rp I'm just borrowing the character. If I make an original character and give him the same personality, won't we still be at the problem? Also, I think there is always a way to include a new character in an RP. I don't see why making an original character would be different.

Just make an OC version of Micheal. But make sure his backstory checks out, cause the last thing we want is a guy who shows up out of nowhere with little to explain about his methods or motivations.

I'm still unsure what the difference is between an expy and already made character in this context for getting involved.

Basically, rename the mecha and make it so his backstory isn't involved with Gun X Sword

Thinking of the future.. There WILL be a battle in where Epine Noir is so badly damaged that Emil will have no choice but to get himself an replacement (With much reluctance!)... So with that in mind not to mention my boredom, I'll make a profile for Emil's second mech!

• Mech Name: TA/SFX-03 (Tactical Air/Surface Fighter eXperimental) "Aile Blanche" (White Wing)
• Appearance: Heroic and rounded compared to Epine Noir, which looked totally evil and stuff.◊
• Stats:
  • Height: 18.5 meters (Head to toe, Excluding the "Wings")
  • Max. Speed: 880 km/h (Boosting along the ground), Mach 4.7 (Flight), Mach 12 (Quickboost/Flash-Stepping)
  • Weight: 45 tons
  • Power output: 40 Megawatts
  • Operational time: 6 hours
• Weapons:
  • Justicar plasma burst rifle◊: Made exclusively for Aile Blanche, this rapid-firing death dealer can fire out 100 3-round bursts of hypersonic plasma pulses per Hyper capacitor clip (Aile Blanche has 6 extra clips stored in compartments hidden on it's thighs) that hit with far more force and heat than any projectile weapon. Compared to Epine Noir's Ribault linear guns, the Justicar is a far superior weapon, possessing a faster rate of fire, more destructive capability per shot and is much easier to aim and control. The rifle also has a special "Overcharge shot" that depletes the entire clip to fire a high-intensity plasma beam, that while not as energetic as the Martell's laser pulse; affects a far larger area and is more useful as firing the weapon doesn't leave Emil a sitting duck.
  • Firebee micro-missiles: Stored on the shoulder compartments, these small but deadly projectiles possess plasma warheads; giving each 1-meter long and .5-foot thick missile the destructive power of a tomahawk cruise missile. Aile Blanche has 200 missiles per compartment...
  • Estoc plasma blade: Hidden on Aile Blanche's left wrist, this simple but effective weapon can project a 10 meter long solid-state plasma "beam" that can cut/melt through the toughest and most resistant materials known to man with frightening ease. Use is virtually unlimited due to being directly hooked up to Aile Blanche's generator.
  • Testudo plasma shield projectors: The "Wings" of Aile Blanche and a perfected variant of the devices used in the unfortunate Object-Beta. The Testudo projectors produce a circular field of plasma energy around Aile Blanche that greatly dampens the kinetic force of high-velocity physical attacks while safely dispersing most energy attacks due to the magnetic field that's used to shape the plasma into a protective barrier (Lasers obviously won't be stopped). In an emergency, the field can be deliberately overloaded; causing a critical containment breach and projecting a wave of superheated plasma all around Aile Blanche, sublimating all matter that has an insufficiently high boiling point in a 100-meter radius around the machine. Fortunately, the field can be reestablished after 20 seconds and will be able to do it all over again.
  • "HECTOR": An Artificial intelligence program installed into Aile Blanche to aid in piloting the machine and in recording data for it's highly experimental systems as well as keeping them in check. With that duty in mind, HECTOR's personality Ended up becoming observant, cautious and passive; things that goes against Emil's combat philosophy of "Controlled aggression".

HECTOR stands for: Heuristic/Empirical Combat and Tactical Operations Regulator

You didn't have to post that here.

Anyways accepted.

I'm thinking that after that last battle, the Marine Corps would send a third highly skilled pilot with 'quirks' that are a detriment to the mobile suit divisions to help them out.

• Name: Sergeant Walter Kovacs.
• Age: 25.
• Gender: Male.
• Appearance: Walter is a rather short marine, only six foot instead of the usual six foot seven or so. He wears his power armor at all times, even while piloting. The suit plugs into his mech and allows him to control it to a higher degree. He has orange hair prematurely graying, freckles across his nose and face, and lifeless eyes. Lately though, he's taken to wearing a white mask with moving black blobs that never blend into grey. He also either only responds to Sergeant Kovacs or Rorschach unless he likes the person referring to him as Walter.
• Personality: Hurm, very short, very to the point. Doesn't like talking, prefers action.
• History: Served in the same unit as George and Jack, was transferred three years before they were sent to work for serve. Attained rank of sergeant in the meantime. Served in more than three hundred engagements, seven bronze stars, four silver stars, two gold stars, a distinguished service cross, five purple hearts, and one navy cross. Served more than five years in the infantry before transferring to the mobile infantry, served as sniper in both deployments.
• Mech Name: Rorschach.
• Mech Appearance: http://gundam.wikia.com /wiki/File:Aemedia_RGM-79SC.jpg
