Hey folks, this is the official signup thread for Super Robot Wars/Taisen - Operation Restore. This will consist of stories/events/characters from either the Real Robot Genre or the Super Robot Genre. Well, most of them anyway...

The final villain list is here, but I'll put this up again in the discussion thread later on if I get enough people interested.


In the Universal Era, the Earth has made major progress in colonizing outer space and terraforming the Moon and Mars to create colony settlements due to concerns on overpopulation and dwindling lack of natural resources. Global warming has also become a serious threat to the survival of the human race.

It's in this era that machines called Labors are used worldwide for the construction industry in countries where they are being threatened by rising sea levels. Later on, various police and military forces have found some considerable use for Labors. While the former used them with great success, the military never found any serious use for them aside from a few countries until the One Year War began between the United Nations and the Principality of Zeon. In this conflict, another new machine called the Mobile Suit was used by Zeon military forces that gave UN forces a serious disadvantage.

A mysterious spaceship, known as the SDF-1 Macross, crashed on Earth a few days before the end of the OYW, which led to research and development of its salvaged technology with mecha known as Variable Fighters being tested prior to adoption.

After the end of the OYW, various power blocs were formed from various continents such as the Union of Solar Energy and Free Nations and the Human Reform League and engaged with one another in the Solar Wars. During this time, the UN Security Council agreed to form an elite special forces unit called the Titans to counter any further aggression from renegade Zeon factions. The Titans saw action in battling out alien empires such as the Campbellians, the Boazanians and the Baams while the Earth and the colonies try to heal the damages sustained by the wars. The last major alien war was against the Zentradi.

Mithril, a black-ops special forces unit with neutral allegiance, long thought to be dead by the end of the Cold War, began to move back into the shadows once again after the Titans gave authorization to their black-ops division, the A-LAWs, to gas a colony after getting reports of anti-Titans and UN protests known as the 30 Bunch Incident. Mithril began a campaign of sabotaging Titans installations while freeing civilians and other personalities who were imprisoned for voicing out their opposition out to the unit.

New mobile suits, labors and variable fighters were developed and pressed into service as the UN officially launched colony ships to ensure the survival of the human race after the last four alien wars.

Various factions such as the Dinosaur Empire, Amalgam, the Zaboom, Ceruleans and the Glorft all begin to move in to the Earth, having joined together in an alliance to take out their hated enemies.

In the midst of this conflict, a shadowy organization begins to manipulate events in order to give them an advantage in controlling world politics like they did once before. While their influence waned before the beginning of the UE, they seek to use the era to take back their rightful place as it's "true master". Even if it means working with other villains to make their dream a reality. Our story begins when the Titans began several operations on Earth and in space to root out both anti-Titans/UN opposition and hostile alien incursions...


And that is the story so far. We're following the usual RP thread rules such as no godmodding, don't control other people's characters unless GM/RPer involved gives the ok and autohitting. You can both OC and canon characters alike, since it's a SRW game.

That being said, I'm allowing prospective RPers to use both an Earth or Space-based character if they wish. Or if you don't like it, you can stick it either one of them. If you're playing two characters who always work together, then it's fine. I'm not sure on how we can proceed on someone controlling the likes of Combattler or Voltes V.

If there are objections/concerns/suggestions with the signup or anything else, feel free to voice them out right now before it's too late.


Here's the signup sheet we're using:

  • Name: Should be obvious.
  • Character Type: Is he/she a character taken from canon works or done as an OC?
  • Appearance: What the character looks like. If there is no picture used, try to describe the person as best you can.
  • Universe: Where is the character from?
  • Location: Will he/she be involved in Earth or Space?
  • Backstory: The story so far before being involved.
  • Superweight: For purposes of this one, I'm limiting it between 0 and 3.
  • Character skills: What kind of skills the character has when they're not using a mecha?
  • Pilot skills: What your character have when they're fighting in the field via mecha. I'm limiting this to 3-4 skills. I'll have to remove the "skill is activated when EN goes down a certain amount" criteria for certain, since IMO it doesn't translate well in a RP game.
    • Pilot Skill: What it does. (This is the format to use)
  • Mech: What the character uses in the beginning. Is it a mobile suit, a labor, a variable fighter? And also, have an image ready to be used for linking so I can check to see what you're using in-game.
  • Comments: Anything the GM/the RPers should know about?


References for Pilot Skills. The list is extensive, but I found some good references where one needs to look at pilot skills used in the various SRW games:

Can we use Banpresto Originals?

You mean like Ryusei Date? Yeah, it's cool.

Though it'll depend who you have in mind.

One more thing about the mech. If in the game that your mech gets taken out, it doesn't mean the end of the world. If anything, your character can still acquire another one. That is... if you know what you're doing.

If we want to use a robot with two pilots, would we control only one of the pilots or both of them?

That's fine, as long as the duo are important from the series they're from.

If a character's backstory is heavily involved with a villain faction not on the list, should we change the backstory to fit the universe, or just keep the backstory and let you decide what to do with the faction?

Ominae Since: Jul, 2010

I guess the former would make sense. The latter would depend if the character you choose (canon/OC) is involved with the bad guy or not.

I'll wait and see once a signup sheet is there.

I'll try and see if I can post my own signups later on.

If not, then this'll probably be dead... tongue

[up]Yeah, I could already tell by the Interest thread. You've done SRW RP's before, right? But did you do them here, on TV tropes? Because, judging by the lack of response, it doesn't seem like many T Vtropes-RP'ers seem to care much for a SR RP. Maybe you could try this somewhere else?

Ominae Since: Jul, 2010
#11: Sep 6th 2013 at 7:06:21 PM

Could be.

Oh yeah, what do you mean by somewhere else?

[up]On some other site; somewhere that both still has a RP section, while also showing that it has a fanbase for giant mecha, and by extension, SRW. I don't remember exact names, but I'm pretty sure places like that exist somewhere on the interwebs. Try google.wink

It's gonna be hard looking for one, but perhaps I'll close this and my other inactive RP in a while and come back to doing a SRW RP again. Unless moerin is ready.

Ouch.

Thanks for the update. I guess I probably will close this up for now since there's not much interest since Aken has personal issues too.

If you're sure about it.

I think so. Judging from the lack of positive responses so far, I'll go and ask dalt to lock it up. Perhaps this'll be tucked away unless someone else comes along and does a SRT RP here. Or if I decide to resurrect this after giving it much thought.
