SUITFALL: A mecha/power armor RP

Thanks for the heads up. It's fixed now.

The measure of a man is not his courage, but rather the size of his gun.

• Name: Matthew Garcia
• Suit Name: Kulay-Abo, nicknamed/shortened as KA (pronounced as the two letters together) or Ka (like the snake in Jungle Book.)
• Age: 20
• Gender: Male
• Biography: Descending from Filipino immigrants, Matthew was always pushed to succeed like his parents had. And he did for a while, getting good grades and recognition. But as he grew, Matthew found that he wanted to be a writer more than his parents hoped he could be an engineer. Knowing they wouldn't support him unless he supported himself, Matt went and applied to colleges that he believed would help him become and writer. And he finally received what was basically a full ride...to little local Greenville College in Marbury, Massachusetts. With little choice left but to pursue his dream this way, Matt packed his bags and moved north. After a year studying, Matt is...unsure of what he's supposed to be accomplishing here. And now a weird metal box has fallen out of the sky to complicate his life even further...
• Goals: Figure out what the hell to do with this thing he's made, and probably stop others from tech like this wrongly. Maybe.
• Appearance: Matt is a big kid. And by "big" we mean "kinda fat." A good bit over 200 lbs and standing at 5'10", Matt has done all that he can to avoid becoming obese. Unfortunately, he's still something of a glutton, and being a shut-in normally doesn't help. He's got brown Pinoy skin from his dad, and the black hair and brown eyes across his family. A bit lazier than most, he wears sweatpants over his shorts to deal with the cold Massachusetts air, and a hoodie over his shirts. Occasionally, he'll wear more regular clothing, but most of the time he can't be bothered to care.
  • "But hey, at least I can fit in the suit, right?"
• Suit Appearance: Kulay-Abo
  • Mount Form
  • When not in either form, Kulay-Abo collapses into a case he can wear on his back, which can also function as a metal backpack.
• Suit Purchases:
  • Suit Class: Medium

  • Suit Body Type: Biped + Amphibious (20) + Mount (20)

  • Upgrades and Utilities: Medkit (0), Storage (0), EC (0), Collapsible (5), Collapsible II (5), Armor Plating (10), Sub-armour Pistons (10)
  • Nanites: None (0)
  • Final Stats:
    • Dexterity: 3 + 1 in either form = 4
    • Durability: 3 + 1 = 4
    • Power: 4
    • Recovery: 4
    • Speed: 5 + 3 in either form = 8
    • Strength: 3 + 1 = 4

Allurand and surrounding world loading, 28%...

Matthew Garcia and KA are approved.

So double post because shit's gotten sort of ahead of me.

KRV, it's cool if you don't play adults, I dunno where you got that. Leo Pascal and Samuel Troyard are approved.

Ok, Sam is back to 16. I'll post in a little while.

The measure of a man is not his courage, but rather the size of his gun.

Read in the OP, thought adults was the order of the day in this RP.

By adults, I think Taco meant that players should act mature rather than characters be in a certain age range.

Some people say I'm lazy. It's hard to disagree.

That is the case, yes.

And uh hey, if anyone else is on the fence about signups, get them in now. I'm closing signups. Back when I said that I was gonna keep them open and rolling I didn't know how many people would be interested. It's fantastic that I've got such active interest, but because there are so many people it's getting more than a little hard to manage, especially since scenes get crowded even at a cap of 5.

Hello, i have been on the fence on joining this RP for a little while, do you still accept signups or is it too late?

「The nightmare of the revenge monkey begins」

Sorry, neighbor. Too many people in now. There's now a waiting list. Nevertheless, Taco will inform this thread of any new openings.

Might as well throw out a signup sheet anyway, right? Saves time and puts you on a waiting list instead of scrambling to get something up later. >.< ...S-Speaking of which.

• Name: Johnathan Annetts.
• Suit Name: Albion.
• Age: 21/22.
• Gender: Male.
• Biography: Back home in Britain, Johnathan had grown up in relative comfort, where his family name carried considerable weight. Being tutored and ingrained with proper etiquette and manners, he eventually wished to see the rest of the world beyond his home as time went on, his parents finally conceded. ...The day those suits fell out of the sky was simply a convenient reason to leave on his trip for America. And while he has little power here, Johnathan nonetheless carries his legacy with pride.

• Goals: To learn more about America(?), being chivalrous to both allies/commoners in need and enemies (to a realistic degree, an enemy's foul play tends to result in seeing if their suit can handle a point blank F.Q.A.C blast), hopefully get the hang of all this 'Suit' business and upholding the family name.

• Appearance: No idea why I have the jacket, gov. It'll do.

• Suit Appearance: Until I find something a bit more accurate or get better speed for image searching, this'll have to do, sorry.

• Name: Anastasia Molitsya
• Suit Name: Iudicium
• Age: 18
• Gender: Female
• Biography: Anastasia was and still is a very intelligent girl. She excelled in the fields of academics and sports, and is often praised as a hard worker. She's never been keenly interested in socialization; she's always thought of other people as mere objects. Indeed, as she grew up, she developed into a selfish and arrogant young woman.

• Now in her senior year of high school, she would inevitably come across one of the mysterious cubes that have been raining from the sky recently. This looks cool, thought she. May as well see what all the fuss is about. She put in her settings, and watched the changes take place in her body- especially her brain. This transformation turned out to be a swift metamorphosis from a highly intelligent, self-centered lady into an egocentric maniac with delusions of grandeur. Her thoughts immediately turned towards what she would do with her newfound power. Why, that would be obvious: show the world- or at least the human population of Marbury- what she was now capable of.
• Goals: Gain the fear, respect and eventually the obedience of the people of Marbury. Become as powerful as she possibly can in the process.
• Appearance: A caucasian young adult of slightly above-average height. She's very attractive, having not only a nice, surprisingly acme-free face but also a good body. She has blonde hair she keeps in a French braid with small bangs. When not in Iudicium, she prefers to wear jackets, formal apparel (blouses, slacks, that kinda thing) and, occasionally, dresses.
• Suit Appearance: Something like this, only sans the flying knives and with more protection on the arms and waist.◊ While collapsed, Iudicium takes the form of a seamless band of metal around Anastasia's neck. No hinges, clasps or openings.

"Doki Doki Lit. Club" is a happy game where nothing bad happens. seriously tho? not for the faint of heart.

Apologies if it turns out this is utterly terrible, I just saw this and it looked like fun and I had a dumb idea.

• Name: Alastair Diarmid
• Suit Name: Beercan
• Age: 34
• Gender: male
• Biography: He’s a hobo from the streets who got really, really lucky. One of the ominous black boxes crashed right next to him as he was trying to get comfy on a park bench under a newspaper blanket. Being drunk off his ass at the time and having his chance of sleep disrupted, he got mad at the box, until he realized that it was a potential ticket off the streets and into a better life. Now, he basically does odd jobs for whoever the hell pays him money.
• Goals: Earn enough money to live a comfortable lifestyle
• Appearance: Brown hair and beard. Tanned skin. Frequently dressed in old, partially-torn clothes. Somewhat fat. Carries a backpack with him at all times.
• Suit Appearance: An actually rather magnificent futuristic-looking suit, that just so happens to be entirely metallic brown in colour, aside from a black visor that goes over the eyes. Much like the one who owns the suit, it is slightly fat-looking, and could possibly be mistaken for a Mesh at a glance. When in Collapsed form, it resembles a plain brown box roughly the size of something that would contain a sandwich.

The fact that only 140 characters are allowed here is honestly so disappointing to me.

oh man oh man oh man how did I not know this was a thing?

• Name: Eires Nada

• Suit Name: FIO OBCISUS!

• Age: 21

• Gender: Agender

• Biography: Being a college student can get boring if you’ve been at it long enough. Eires has been bored by the experience since they started and the feeling hasn’t passed since. Even being occupied with a love life and a few extracurricular activities, Eires can’t shake the feeling of ennui that settled in when college started. Thankfully, this entire suit deal has made things ‘’far’’ more interesting around these parts….

• Goals: ANARCHY(?): What fun is a huge fucking suit of power armour if you can’t use it? Eires isn’t sure what exactly they’ll do now that the FIO OBCISUS! Is at their disposal, but they do know one thing; it’s going to be one ‘’hell’’ of a ride.

• Appearance: Short, dyed hair, about six feet tall, green eyes, piercings in the ears and eyebrows. Wears a beanie, tank top, and cargo pants most of the time.

• Suit Appearance: the FIO OBCISUS! is a hulking mass of angled plates, every pound of its frame dedicated to the one thing it can do best; pound, grind, crush, shoot, and maim the ever-loving crap out of anyone or anything that it comes across. Backed up by the Soldier-Class AI known as ''Venti'’, it’s a multiton metal monstrosity packed with enough weapons and armour to lay waste to multiple city blocks unsupported. Add in a single bouncing cylonic eye for the intimidation factor, multiple weapons and slots for additional arms, a built-in sound system for weaponizing heavy metal, and Grausam’s personal tendency for the most destructive option, and the FIO OBCISUS! is a force to be reckoned with.

• Suit Purchases:
  • Suit Class: ‘’’HEAVY’’’

• Suit Name: Konstrukteur 1
• Age: 34
• Gender: Male
• Biography: Born in Germany and having studied engineering, Johann moved to America because he wanted to have a gun and was to lazy to go through all the legal hoops. He unfortunately fell in with a bad crowd and landed in jail for a few years. Afterwards he was branded, he fell into depression until his coworkers at his job, construction, helped him up again.

Its top is flat, with multiple hatches to extend various construction related machinery as well as exendable fences. The extra arms end in flat fingers, suitable for people to stand on, with the thumb and pinky unusually long and normally raise slightly, to act as railings. The big hangar is equipped with a platform for projecting the current blueprints and Johanns kitchen. He and his comrades have, in fact spend the first few days with transporting and anchoring it and a few beds there. The Missile Launcher is built into the middle of the top, being extendable as nearly everything on its surface.

With Hilarity Ensues gone, the queue moves up and Wren enters the RP.

• Name: Kyle O'Donnel

• Suit Name: Cryoshell

• Age: 20

• Gender: Male

• Biography: Kyle had a bit of a rough upbringing. His family used to live in Detroit when he was 11, where his dad worked in construction. His parents had talked about moving to get away from the crime and gangs. He occasionally heard stories about a friend who got involved in drugs or had their car stolen. When his dad was mugged at gunpoint, that did it. They were out of there. They moved to Little Zeon in Marbury, where Kyle eventually graduated, and went through a few jobs (almost had that one at the game store!), before finally landing at a job as a forensic lab tech at the Marbury P.D., south precinct. He ended up with an interest in bladed weaponry, along with (of course) video games, movies, and the internet. He currently resides at Anno apartments.
  • And then came Suitfall. Now, everything's gone haywire. Half the city's systems have been hacked. He knows firsthand what could happen if people don't step in, especially in a case with giant robots. On top of the current threat of anarchists, there's the possibility of a bigger threat: the origin of the suits.

• Goals: To protect people and the town, sure, but more importantly, to figure out why the suits are here and where they're from. Oh, and be a badass while doing it. For the near future though, he wants to try to put together a team.

• Appearance: Kyle's attire is comprised of jeans, tennis shoes, a white T-shirt, and a black sweat jacket. He keeps the hood up a lot. He's 5'11", and about 170 pounds. Thick-rimmed glasses and dark brown hair. I might update his appearance later.

• Suit Appearance: The suit ◊The helmet◊ A duffel bag when collapsed.

• Mount: Two-seater User does NOT turn into bike. Rather, the user jumps into a dive and the mount folds out of the suit before he hits the ground.◊

Yeah, so if I could just find happiness, that'd be great.

Okay so first of all, tommy1138, this might be a fairly dark RP at times and I expect it to be so because some of my favorite mech shows are pretty dark, but you're entering Ow The Edge territory there, you oughta step it down. You also might wanna step down any presumptions about mech class sizes, but here, lemme just drop size descriptions, which you can find in the pdf:

• Mesh-5-6 ft ("isn't much bigger than you are")
• Light-6-6.5 ft ("an armored knight")
• Medium-10-15 ft ("twice the size of a light mech")
• Heavy-20-30 ft ("tank-sized")
• Fortress-40-60 ft ("your suit has room to carry 15 humans")

That's not even a ruling. Mediums have a big range, as do all the other mechs, I'm not gonna restructure this entire RP around a supposed discrepancy here.

With Undying Phoenix gone, I will be reopening the RP and shuffling people in. With certain information coming to the fore I have decided to withdraw my approval of engie's signup, sorry mate. Inceptiond, you are good to go.

...Certain information... Care to share?

The fact that only 140 characters are allowed here is honestly so disappointing to me.

I don't.

Ok, I just.... I figured you would have wanted us to have better backstories for our characters so that they aren't all "wants to be a hero" type, and that was the only thing I could think of because... reasons. I'll change it.
