The Humongous Mecha RP (Sign Up)

sweet, thanks.

• Pilot Name: Katherina Yakovlev
• Age: 18
• Gender: Female
• Appearance: Will come later
• Suit: N/A
• Personality: Out of combat she is sweet, sociable, kind, and fairly normal as far as girls her age go. She is usually found in her room either designing, or making clothes, or accessories, or talking to her butler via Skype. But in battle she is utterly focused and collected. She feels no emotions during combat due to mental conditioning. She is fashionable and is always trying to look her best and gets into the latest trends.
• History: She was born into a very rich family in Belarus. Her parents were killed by the alien invaders in front of her very eyes when she was only 7 years old, and has never smiled for years ever since then. For 3 years the family butler, the only other survivor of the household, took care of her. When she was 10 years old, she secretly signed up for the military and was accepted albeit reluctantly due to shortage of man power. Even though her butler objected when he found out, she convinced him with a grand emotional outburst that she doesn’t want anyone to lose their family like her and to make the aliens pay for killing her family. When she turned 14 she was considered fit enough for front line combat and was sent to fight in a mass produced mech that was considered inferior to SERVE’S mechs despite that she survived enough battles to warrant a promotion and was selected for a special training program that involved inhuman training methods and hypnotherapy, wherein she learned how to suppress her emotions at will, whether in or out of battle. But despite all this training, she was still close to her butler, treating him like a surrogate father, and with him reciprocating her love unconditionally. A month after her birthday, she had finally completed her special training she was awarded with a clearance that allowed her to use and pilot the ‘Bloody Raven’ the latest production mech in the Russian army. And is currently awaiting for her transfer papers to be finalized.
• Mecha name: Bloody Raven
• Appearance: N/A
• Stats:
  • Height: 18 meters
  • Weight: 33 tons
  • Speed: 750 km/h (Boosting) Mach 3.8 (Flight)
  • Power output: 30 Megawatts
• Weapons:
  • Dendrobium Plasma gun: A rapid-fire energy weapon and predecessor of Aile Blanche’s Justicar plasma rifle. Though less powerful and accurate, the Dendrobium possesses a faster rate of fire and is much more compact, making it a better choice for close combat. The Dendrobium Uses a more primitive and bulky “banana” capacitor clip that holds only 250 shots and has 3 extra clips stored on the back of the waist
  • Helianthus micro-missiles: Possessing 2 pairs of missile pods on it’s shoulders, these micro-missiles are quite powerful (Each one hits with the destructive force of an anti-ship missile) despite their small size and are also equipped with an AI guidance system that allows them to automatically seek out weak spots on enemies. Each pod holds about 75 missiles and fires 15 of these projectiles per burst.
  • Crisium Electro-lash: An electrically-charged length of segmented hyperalloy metal mounted on the left wrist like a buckler, This special weapon can project up to 4.5 million volts of electricity for 10 seconds to fry/paralyze any target unlucky enough to have been binded by this weapon. It may also use the electricity to heat the alloy instead of using it as a conductor, turning it into a rather nasty melee weapon in the process.
  • Paeonia laser blades: A set of 3 laser projectors mounted on it’s feet and right wrist, they project am 8 meter-long laser beam that cuts through most materials easily. This weapon, like the Justicar is the predecessor to Aile Blanche’s Equivalent weapon but is only slightly less efficient than it’s successor.

In case you’re wondering, I, Strigon, did this for her because she couldn't think of a Mecha cool enough for her.

Um, all the same, shouldn't you at least put a vague description?

Ok this is accepted. I like the character.

This is how Katherina, her mech and it's weapons look like BTW:

• Appearance◊
• Bloody Raven◊
• Her piloting suit (3rd row, the one right in the middle)◊ She doesn't wear the helmet though.
• Dendrobium rifle◊
• Electro-Lash◊

...I might join, actually.

Go ahead when you have the chance

Were on a bit of a break now from the last battle so it's a fitting time to join in

I'm thinking me next character is just going to be Shockwave (Transformers Fall Of Cybertron-esque), just with more guns.

Ey Strigon! Thanks so much now I won't have to bother editing again ;P

• Name: Samuel Doppler
• Age: 28
• Gender: Male
• Appearance: Somewhat lanky, just a bit of a mustache (But otherwise clean-shaven), one synthetic eye (That glows an icy blue), dark hair
• Personality: Hammy when he wants to be, but mostly a nerd/geek. Can (Sort of) sound like various gaming characters.
• History: For a while, he was just into Transformers and various games similar to it ( Metal Wolf Chaos), so, even though he knew he had a good chance of dying, he decided to sign up for SERVE's mecha pilot program. After filling out the sheet, it was recommended that he take a course in not just mecha piloting, but VTOL-plane piloting as well.
• Mecha Name: SK-98, Alias "Shockwave"
  • Mecha Appearance: Transformers: Fall of Cybertron Shockwave (Alt mode included)◊, just with more weapons, and those glowing Tron Lines will sometimes pulse the same bright blue as Sam's eye.
  • Weaponry: Interestingly, Shockwave's weaponry is based primarily on sound. There are a few non-sound weapons, like lasers, rockets, and a few conventional guns, but not many.
    • A.R.O. Megacannon: Presumably, the letters stand for "Autobots, Rock Out!". This is stored behind the glowing panel on SK-98's torso unit.
    • Barrier Breaker: A hand-held weapon which can shoot out a very powerful wave of sound. Has been known to peel the armor off of a mech when overcharged.
    • Crimson Reaper: Samuel's nickname for the powerful eye laser the Shockwave can emit. Has been known to melt though entire building when overcharged. Best used with extreme caution.
    • Type-735 "Last Stand" Micro-Artillery
    • Type-607 "Ghostbuster" Back-Mounted Missles
    • Type-7-C Pain Blade
  • Equipment
    • Advanced AI
    • Fourth-Wall Engine
    • 1-Terabyte Hard Drive, for adding music and sounds to SK-98's Arsenal.
    • Overcharger: Similar to many Mecha Pilot's Ultimate Mode, except it's less powerful and won't kill the pilot.
    • "improbability Device": We have absolutely no idea what in the everloving sanity this thing is, or what it does.

Accepted cause why not? XD

Side note (which I forgot): He can be pretty quite when he wants to be.

I'm not too late to sign up, am I?

Not really, the next monster battle isn't for a while.

Ha ha! It's never too late to sign up here Duff!

Awesome. Here's what I got.

Name: Graham Gardner

Age: 29

Gender: Male

Appearance: Shclubtastic.◊ Messy hair, serious stubble, overweight. Dressed in a raggedy shirt and cargo pants, with a worn-down brown jacket. Reeks of Hobo Stank.

Personality: An everyman's worst nightmare. Graham is neurotic, nervous, lazy as can be, and utterly exasperated with all of the insane happenings going on around him. He is quick to complain about the things that annoy him, which number in the thousands. Though he tries to be kind and courteous to people he meets, he has a low tolerance for inanity or angst. Utterly devoid of self-confidence, yet apathetic in the face of impending doom, Graham is overall a man who seems like he'd benefit greatly from a good, long nap.

History: Graham was never the luckiest guy in the world, nor was he exactly the most motivated. And by "not exactly," we mean "you could not find a lazier sonofabitch." Unfortunately, this lack of motivation lead to his expulsion from high school, and a future of burger-flipping and motel-hopping. Sadly, not even this life was sustainable for long, as Graham found work harder and harder to find. Eventually, he found himself without a dime or a bed to his name. Ever to try and make the best out of a bad situation, Graham decided to commit to the drifter's life. However, spending a week living in a cardboard box very quickly changed his tune, and he was soon desperate for any kind of economic stability. Unfortunately for him, there was only one legal option remaining: the S.E.R.V.E Program. With application in-hand, and the sounds of an empty stomach driving him forward, Graham found himself wrapped up in a life of giant robots and crazy space aliens. He's still fairly new, and has yet to actually fight a monster, but if push comes to shove he'll take up the proverbial sword and fight! Anything to keep him from going back to that box....

Mecha Name: The Rusty Shitbox (Official name is Volgamagnum)

Mecha Appearance: "You got something a little less.....eggy?"◊ The mech shows numerous more signs of wear and tear, though. The mech was originally designed for dangerous construction work in areas of extreme climate, but Graham chose it as his battle mech because it was the cheapest/easiest to attain. It is fairly agile and is capable of fast movement, but is frail to impact.

Weapons:

Heat Magnum: The entire mech is plated in an obsidian alloy, which allows it to withstand extreme heat and cold. To take advantage of this, Graham has jury rigged the temp controls on specific parts of the mech: The hands, and the legs, to superheat them to such a degree that they become molten, making it easier to punch and/or kick through both solid metal and alien monster flesh.

Magnum Rail: Both of the Shitbox's arms are mounted with a heavy-duty railgun, which fire massive rivets. Thanks to Graham's custom work, the guns now automatically superheat when they are activated causing the rivets to come out as molten projectiles.

Magnum BITCHIN' CHAINSWORD: This gigantic chainsaw-bladed greatsword, mounted on the Shitbox's back, was initially designed to cut through lava rock. Graham has customized it with several gigantic exhaust pipes as the sword's guard, which on-command spit forth jets of flame, setting the sword ablaze.

If I may, the mechs in the RP tend to be Gundam-sized. But this is just my suggestion, so It's up to you to decide.

Accepted, welcome to the RP

It's supposed to be Gundam-Sized. Edited out some of the adjectives that made it sound like a walking planet. What is scale hurka durr.

Awesome. Do I just make an introductory post or do you make a scenario to introduce him?

edited 11th Jul '13 4:45:53 AM by MacDuffy

Make an introductory post, but beware the odd and incredulous looks the SERVE crew will give your character and his machine... They're kind of used to grander and far more advanced looking fare.

Just as planned.

Yeah but otherwise you'll fit in. Besides the Delta Squad's a nice team.

Well most of them anyway.

edited 11th Jul '13 4:47:08 AM by JRPictures

Coolio.

Could you tell me where they're located right now, so I know how I can get him there?

Most of the other pilots are off doing their own thing, so just have the Rustbucket go in on final approach on the SERVE base and request permission to enter and land, then have him report to the Commanding Officer to finalize his transfer papers.

edited 11th Jul '13 4:50:42 AM by Strigon

Pretty much that.

He'll meet some of the squad members if we time it right.
