Mass Metal Mayhem: A Powered Armor/Mech RP

If I remember correctly, our "mission statement" is simply to clear all enemy forces from the area - it doesn't single out Shells or Choirs.

I imagine that RPGs and other anti-tank munitions could be used in such a manner, though.

Ah, so he can have a master degree and still be blowing shit up in a shell? If so, how is the rank implemented? (Foreigner here).

...hm, so someone with a master's degree is not automatically comissioned? I'm not quite sure if I follow here. Or he can simply enlist himself on a NCO rank on purpose? That's what I'm trying to understand.

-kicks thread back up the lists- I am too interested in this to let it die!

People, IT ISN'T AS COMPLICATED AND BUTTHURT AS IT SEEMS. If you make a mistake, you can correct it!

We have edit buttons, remember?

Hydrall's da man. He knows what he's talking about. Don't be scared!

Oooh... Looks interesting...

So, what would an armourer do? I'm looking to be a non-combat character, just to see how they work...

That's good, we need some support. Or do you mean 'civilian'? Because that could be a problem...

Wait, armourer? What do you mean by that?

Not civilian. I mean a support character.

As for "armourer", I saw it in the post with all the jobs...

So basically our mechanic?

Sweet.

Hmm... Sounds good. Lemme cook up a character and please correct my inconsistencies when I do.

Also, my spelling and grammar, considering I almost spelt inconsistencies as 'inconsitencies'.

Aha, seems like Alinzar is going to dislike most of his fellow strike team leaders... I like it.

Interesting...

Faction: Troperian Empire

Name and Callsign: Bert Ernie, Sesame

Rank: E4

Age: 29

Sex: Male

Nationality: Cortanian

Job: Armourer

Shell/shadow description: N/A

Appearance, characteristics, posture, etc.: Short blond hair, sparkling grey-blue eyes, about 6'3", speaks with a bit of a Southern accent. Wears mechanic fatigues all the time. No exceptions.

Personality: Bert is a Trickster who is a fun-loving Big Guy. He isn't a fan of war, but understands it as something that is necessary. He loves his standard rifle, Elmo, despite rarely using it.

Backstory: Bert Ernie lived a rather simple childhood, one filled with poverty in the poor countryside region in Corneria. He quickly grew to love anything and everything mechanical, sneaking into higher end estates to try and screw around with the machines. When he turned 20, Bert enlisted with the Troperion Empire and joined a Shell unit. However, the Army realised that after five years in a Shell, Bert's skills as an operator was just sub-standard but they found that he was a very talented mechanic. At the age of 26, he was transferred around a few different Shell companies before finally landing a placement at Metal3 with a decent level of experience.

Well, well, a tough guy mechanic? We'll see how you measure up...

What would the standard rank for someone who has been in the military for 9 years with a few... "boo-boos" shall we say.

Also, what would be an authorized weapon for a mechanic?

^I'm not sure, but I think that it would probably be a service pistol of some sort or another.

Then again, I'm not in the military, so Scrye would be the man to know.

Fixed. Looking forward to this.

Same.

I will drop a truckload on missiles on you first chance I get, no worries!
