The Fall Of Man, A Humongous Mecha RP

Discussion

Man has flourished for Millenia on this world. However, the age of man may end. Monsters started to Appear, abominations, horrifying paintings in Flesh standing hundreds of feet tall. They were the Ascended and they had Declared war on man. In our defense, we constructed Mechs known as Titans, the war has raged for nearly forty years, Japan, Africa, and The Western Coast of America are gone. Destroyed by the Ascended and transformed into Hellish wastelands. You are now in the Headquarters of the last true defense against the Ascended, welcome to Asgard.

Welcome to The Fall of Man! You are a Titan Pilot, fighting for the survival of the human race, however, you can also submit Ascended, the Kaiju which we will be fighting, if accepted you get control of that creature during it's fight.

What kind of Mecha are these Titans and are inhuman abilities somewhat normal or rare that needs a backstory reason for? Second, are the Ascended just wiping out humanity for the evulz or...?

The Mech, well, they're standard giant robots you get in to fight Kaiju. Alright? And as for why the Ascended are killing us, there's an instory reason, though all I can say for now is that they want Earth for a reason. Also, No inhuman abilites.)

So the Titans are Real Robots? Though what about amplified elements of human biology that would come off as powers?

Yes. Your standard Robot. You get in, you pilot it via various means. And Like I said, your character at their strongest can be as fit as an olympic athlete but no psychic, special abilites from the pilots.

So not even natural freak powers like having the ability to absorb and redirect electricity? Either way, if the Titans are Real Robots, how close to Super can they get?

Sorry Kkut, but No. That's a bit far. Especially since, remember, all the fights will take place in the Mechs. The Closest to Super a Robot can get is to be really big, really fast and have a lot of firepower.

• Name: SAMUEL DOPPLER
• Age: 20
• Gender: Male
• Appearance: A bit lanky, roughly '5"10 (Did I get those markings correct? I can never remember...), his right eye is missing and is replaced by one that gives off a cool, icy-blue glow. There is a small scar just across his right eye-area.
• Personality: Samuel is a gamer, metal fan, and general geek who will defend what remains of humanity,
• Backstory: >>ACCESSING... PLEASE WAIT...

>>!!WARNING!! UNKNOWN ENTITY DETEC%^@#%$R&^!#2—

>>'Sup. It's Sam. The way I got into mechs was when I saw the film called Pacific Rim. You can blame the guy writing me for choosing my backstory beyond this. I'd been fascinated with robots even before that movie, and browsing the internet into the Warhammer 40 K Wiki told me about their mechs. Now, the current tech that we have may not be on par with the crazy-hardcore Warhammer stuff, but when you're driving what amounts to one-man Jaeger, that doesn't matter anymore.

• Abilities: Plays one heck of a guitar, synthetic eye can pick out a normally-blurry shape with crystal-clear quality from half a mile away, "Out-Geeking" people (Sometimes)
• Misc: Foruth-Wall Breaking geek. Loves the idea of More Dakka to a certain degree. An active troper.

• Mech: Eternal Symphony (AKA, SK-WV Mk.II)
  • Mech Appearance: Think "Fall Of Cybertron Shockwave", but with a bit More Dakka and being painted primarily in dark grey. Also, those Tron Lines glow a slightly deeper shade of blue than Sam's right eye.
  • EQUIPMENT
    • "Rock-Out!" Sound Cannon: Fires walls of sound from regular music. Rock and Metal tend to work the best, though techno and dubstep give off interesting effects. Can tear apart a steel wall from 100 yards away when overcharged. Located in the torso unit
    • "Dragon Breaker" Morphable Axe: This damaging melee weapon takes the form of an guitar-shaped axe. Morphs into an even more-guitar like form for ranged combat. This ranged form shoots electrically-infused Seeker-Class rounds. Becomes a vibroweapon when overcharged.
    • "Heavy Bass" ADAK Micro-Missles: ADAK - Area-Denial Anti-Kaiju. General range weapon.
    • "Scarecrow" Artillery System: A custom mod, courtesy of the Draconi Corp. Mid-to-long range. Can be loaded with various rounds.
    • Giant Metal Fists: Jet-boosted at the elbow joint for some extra "Oomph".
    • Improbability Drive: What is it? What does it do? We don't know, and we don't know. Possibly the source of the Overcharge power?
    • Jaeger Shift: Allows Samuel to pilot Eternal Symphony the way he does.
  • ABILITIES
    • Overcharge
    • Taunt
    • Jet Dodge (Cooldown)
    • Jet Sprint
    • End of the Concert: a finisher move. SK-WV smashes it's Axe into the head or vital area of a foe. Hard.
    • Someone watch where that thing lands!: Odd, there's no documented use of this ability...

...Let's see, Fourth wall destruction and The Power of Rock? Sammy's acccepted.

Though can you please describe what Overcharge is?

edited 20th Aug '13 9:25:06 PM by TroyandHawk

Overcharge provides highly increased attack power and speed at the cost of armor. Or armor at the cost of speed.

I also forgot a few details about Sam and SK-WV. I'll put those in the next post.

Oh, alright.

>>ADDITIONAL DETAILS INBOUND...

Samuel is known to have a bit of a mustache. His mech is equipped with an advanced AI, which eases the strain enough for Eternal Symphony to be piloted like a Jaeger. It's also a Servile Snarker, so watch out.

• Name: James 'Iron' Burns.
• Age: 24.
• Appearance: James is a tall man, roughly six foot, he's built rather solidly, resembling the lank, deadly frame of men that have been in 'Nam for more than one tour. He gets his nick name of Iron from his premature, iron gray hair. James is never seen out of carapace armor, and usually his lower face is covered with a rebreather, in fact, no one's really seen him without his rebreather on, and for good reason.
• Personality: James is an odd man, he likes things like origami and pressing flowers, even if his appearance suggests he should be babying his weapons and mech like children. He does that as well, but he has a softer side.
• Backstory: James was part of the USMC's answer to the Ascended. Originally a pilot for a Mark I unit, it was destroyed in combat along with most of the initial task force James was part of. Now, he's been sent to Asgard to do his Corps proud, seeing that the once elite fighting force has no ability to combat the Ascended.
• Abilities: Demolitions, MCMAP black belt, crack shot, basic field repairs, cooking, sewing, and a nose for hot chow.
• Misc: Why not play what you know, eh?
• Mech: Cero Espada.
• Mech Height: 130 feet.
• Mech Appearance: Cero Espada is a massive beast, it's appearance is that of a humanoid, albeit colored black and white, with longer, massive arms tipped with clawed fingers. Attached to the forearms are massive machine guns that fire 88mm shells as fast as the fabled MG-42. The cockpit of this beast is located in the chest, where an emergency ejection is possible in the form of a small, automated drone plane that will bring an injured pilot directly back to base. Cero Espada has a long, sleek barreled volcano cannon on his left shoulder, and a blue bladed beam saber on his hip. The face of this mech has three black slits for each eyes, and a long, black line for a mouth that has small x's going through the line. This gives the appearance of a sewn shut mouth. As a last resort, the weapon 'gran ray cero' can be fired, the mouth splitting open and the reactor venting itself in a red beam from the now open mouth, all over the target. This, however, depletes the reactor and causes the mech to go into emergency shutdown.
• Mech Abilities-
• Gran Ray Cero: where the power reactor vents itself into an oncoming target, causes emergency shutdown.
• Resurreccion: Cero Espada expands in size from hidden compartments popping into place, its arms elongate and the generators inside it's forearms start to emit lightning, causing numbness and shocks from targets hit. Missile pods are exposed from the chest, and the palms of the hands open to reveal small plasma cannons. Used against stronger opponents who are capable of destroying Cero Espada.
• Equipment-
• Titanium alloy clawed fingers: capable of tearing through the flesh of Ascended, and in some cases shell or armor, the fingers are superheated to help go through soft flesh.
• Godwin-Class heavy bolters: 88mm machine guns mounted under forearms, firing at a fast rate for prolonged periods is possible thanks to coolant bays. Shells fired are alternating explosive and armor piercing.
• Shoulder mounted Zeus-class Volcano Cannon: long barreled sniper weapon that fires balls of super heated plasma into target. Accessed in cockpit via neural interface.
• Grimnar-Class beam saber/axe: Both weapons use advanced technology to manifest laser beamed weapons capable of cutting through flesh like a scalpel through paper.
• Xerxes-Class chest mounted missile pods: Bays of twelve missiles each, for a total of twelve bays, after last round is fired the magazine is ejected, and replaced up to three times each.
• Cherno-Class energy emitters: mounted in the forearms, these generators allow Cero Espada to electrocute its opponents in Resurreccion.

Of course. Even the robot is a smartass.

Accepted.

Sweet, thanks.

Name: Cpt. Johnathan Cabot.

Age: 24

Gender: Male

Appearance: Tall and toned, military build. Neatly combed brown hair and green eyes. Usually seen in Army fatigues outside of combat. Conducts and carries himself in a militaristic manner.

Personality: John is calm and collected, but comes off a little impersonal. He prefers to suppress human emotions and keep them hidden in order to maintain his precise and professional demeanour. A devote patriot he is prideful of both his country and his service to it. Ironically he doesn't see the practicality of Mechs outside of 'monster killing' in spite of bein' a huge Mecha fan.

History: An average Canadian who grew up on Cape Breton isle, he enjoyed motocross at a young age and transitioned into a 'car buff' later on in his young life. He enlisted in the Royal Canadian Air Force at the age of 18 and received the rank of Captain at the age of 21. His piloting skills caught the eye of the the Experimental Aircraft Division. He tested new Aircraft for them until he was chosen as a Candidate for the "Iceberg Project", a collaboration between Canada's finest Military Personal, Scientists, Engineers. One year later he would find himself in the cockpit of the BIG 'Windigo', carrying the Maple Leaf in the fight against the Ascended.

Abilities: Johnathan is an extremely talented pilot, able to maneuver aircraft through tight spots. He can execute complex and delicate tasks using the 'Windigos' speed and nimbleness, in spite of its lumbering size do to his keen eye and steady hand. He's also an expert marksman and a student of Gun Kata and Grappling.

Misc.: Really likes tea. A lot.

Titan Name: BIG (Bio-Threat Interception Guard) 'Windigo'.

Titan Appearance:Winter's killer grip.

Height: 105.6 Feet

Weight: 207.8 tons

Titan Specs and History: Developed by Canada's finest Engineers and Scientists, and overseen by Titan, the BIG 'Windigl' was designed to be big yet nimble, able to last multiple Ascended encounters with very little maintenance thanks to it's maneuverability and flight capability. Powering this quick giant is a Triple Core Nuclear Reactor with a hundred Diesel engines acting as a backup power supply. It's piloted by a 'MoCap/Manual Hybrid Suite', which integrates both Motion Capture and and fighter jet controls, located in the head with a backup 'Manual' Control Interface in case the 'Suite' is damaged. The 'Windigo' is also designed to operate underwater and in harsh winter climates. The BIG 'Windigo' was given an opportunity to showcase it's prowess when a rogue Ascended appeared off the coast of Vancouver Island, just off of mainland B.C. It was sheer luck that 'Windigo' was there, having been doing some test runs in Pacific waters. It managed to takeout the Ascended single handedly without any civilian casualties or property damage. After serving Canada's West Coast for two years, Titan demanded the BIG be brought to it's main base of operations to serve alongside it's other Mecha.

Titan Weaponry:

Rapid-fire Integrated Flurry Lance Exterminators: Twin Automatic Rifles that fire high velocity, 'anti-kaiju' rounds.

Missile Launchers: Located on it's shoulder wings are two missile higes that fire a massive volley of Surface-to-Surface missiles.

Winter's Grip: The 'Windigo'' comes equipped with vents that can cover targets with a quick freezing agent, allowing it to quickly immobilize targets.

Rocket Punch: It's a punch...asisted by a jet engine mounted on it's elbows. What more can you ask for?

Itself: When all else fails, the 'Windigo' itself can become a weapon. With a jet asssited running headstart, it's chest spike can prove effective in breakig through tough hides and shells.

Atomic Burst: 'WARNING: Only to be used in moments where defeat seems like the only option. The machines chest spike opens up revealing a massive nuclear turbine. By venting large amounts of Nuclear enegergy through it, the 'Windigo' can pelt whatevers in front of it with a raging nuclear fire. May cause a nuclear meltdown, in which case all systems will be shutdown and the pilot locked inside until the crysis has been averted and the meltdown contained.

Note: A Sword is currently in development for the 'Windigo' to wield.

So yeah my underdeveloped character from the Humongous Mecha RP :P

Whats the social status of the world today and whats the public's opinions of pilots & organizations fighting against the Ascended?

I'd like to participate in this. Was gonna ask about signing up for the previous mecha RP but, you know, it's kinda dead now. I gotta leave in no time, though, so I'll post worldbuilding suggestions when I can, then once we've established some things I'll make my character. Hope you all don't mind.

Natalya and John are Accepted.

Sure, No Problem.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean about Social Status, but a lot of the world is now destroyed and desolate, so seeing as they keep getting murdered by Kaiju, the rest of the people have no problem with Titans or their pilots.

And Discussion.

edited 21st Aug '13 2:31:36 PM by TroyandHawk

Interested. Let me think up a character idea.

Also, what are you looking for in Ascended submissions? Are we talking gore-y monstrosities, eldritch abominations, cheesy kaiju beasts, or some unholy merging of all of the above?

...Damn you're busy.
