Essentially, my newest RP Idea is King Arthur...on a floating continent. With magic. And Humongous Mecha. I am currently looking for:

  • Suggested Titles for the Mecha:
  • A new spin on the King Arthur plot:
  • how the battles should be paced with the mechas involved.
  • character interpretations you would like to see:
  • the set up, a through the years type of deal or does everyone stay the same age for the most of the time:
  • General World Development:

Guinevere is a Hot Scientist. Lancelot is a Super Prototype mecha. Arthur gets jealous and orders the destruction of Model LANCEL-8. Hidden traps and backdoors in Guinevere's programming kick in, resulting in Instant A.I.: Just Add Water! and the mech breaking through the demolition team.

Or some crazy shit like this.

My current plan:

  • Guinevere is the Mad Scientist's Beautiful Daughter, who may well be more skilled in science than her old dad.
  • Arthur is a bit of a brat at times, but he is mature, loyal and good when it counts, and pilots EX Calibur, a Super Prototype Guinevere made for him.
  • Lancelot pilots Albion, another mech made by Guinevere, which starts Arthur's jealousy.
  • The royal family includes Morgan Le Fay at first, but she shows her true colors later following some Break the Cutie, as well as some Technopath abilities.
  • Uther is a tyrant but is very well intentioned and just wants an ideal world for Arthur to live in...he just needs all of the Separatists from HIS Neo Britain dealt with, as well as those meddling resistance members.
  • Morgause is the adviser to Earl Markov, a rival for the control of Neo Britain, which...curiously is much larger than old Britain. She is the one controlling Markov, through certain favors. Morgause, like Morgan, is a Technopath
  • Caliburn is a sword especially used by EX Calibur.
  • Gawain is a My Country, Right or Wrong type, his mecha is Green Knight.
  • Percival, funny enough, has Luciano Bradley's Ax-Crazy personality with some very dark things having happened to him.
  • Galahad is a shameless Purity based Parody Sue / The Ace. Everyone hates him because he is too damn perfect. Hitting him is considered always appropriate when he is irritating. Nonetheless, he is very loyal and a Nice Guy.

Mecha powered by CHIVALRY!

The Holy Grail is a source of Pure Energy that could power the kingdom forever.

The Green Knight mech has a Healing Factor, or some form of rapid repair. Gawain wears a green scarf to hide a nasty scar on his neck.

Mordred is the anti-Shinji Ikari, who shows up demanding a mech of his own, with Arthur the anti-Gendo.

Merlin is a cyborg who controls nanomachines to do his bidding and can search the Internet with his mind.

The Lady of the Lake is an AI program.

That's all I got so far.

  • Loving the Holy Grail idea. And Uther wants it so as to rule through his own humongous mecha, Camelot X, which needs the Grail to function.

  • Green Knight will have: a healing factor, a spear, a buckler shield with an added blade, and missiles from its backpack. Green scarfed Gawain is in.

  • Following the time skip, Arthur grows up, stops being a jerk, and becomes a Guile Hero. Mordred is basically misguided, thinks his father raped his mother, but it was actually the other way around: Morgan needed it from someone and in her drug induced trance, she thought Arthur was her long dead love interest. The Arthur and Mordred story goes as myth says it should, but driven by really bad miscommunication caused by Values Dissonance.

  • Merlin is actually the REAL Merlin, responsible for a lot of the magic emerging again, and having escaped captivity due to a...series long runner of mine, Callodes. He is, more or less, a Tragic Hero and half cyborg due to needing to preserve his own life.

  • The Lady is, similarly, the real thing, but an AI due to her personality being uploaded to a computer.
