Thank you for watching the MBF (Mech Battling Federation) FULL

[Fury Is Me.]

Spoiler: Dr. Igor Ivankov

Name: Igor Ivankov
Age: 29
Appearance:

Spoiler: OOC.

Personality: He's very self-centered and cocky and often enjoys thrashing mechs that are either weaker than his or are driven by worse pilots than him. But it's not like he doesn't have the brains to back it up. His IQ is over 700.

History: Igor Ivankov was born as an only child into a very very rich family. The Ivankov family reached incredible wealth ofter Igor's father, Preston Ivankov, hit it big in the oil industry. As a Kid, Igor Ivankov already clearly showed how ridiculous his intelligence was. By the time he entered school, he was already solving calculus level problems. He didn't enjoy the company of other children and preferred to spend his time alone, with his studies. His parents would buy him books everyday, which he would have read by the end of said day. At the age of five, he disassembled his father's car and reassembled it in the span of one day. His father said the car ran better than it ever had before. Igor competed in many academic competitions, all of which were almost no problem for him. He would win them every time, and his constant victories swelled his ego. He convinced himself that he could never be beaten in any academic studies. Swiftly, he received a PHD in engineering and Robotics in record time. Later, he became interested in the Mech Battling Federation. The power, swiftness, and technology behind them fascinated them, and, for a good portion of his life, he decided that he would build mechs for the competetors, with the help getting in from his family's influence and his own fame. Most of his creations could not be bested, and those that were, he blamed on the pilot's inability to drive his machines. Slowly, his machines were beaten more and more until, one day, he decided that he himself would pilot his own creations. He spent a good, long while, creating a machine, that, he believed, could not be bested, his own machine of domination. built entirely by himself, as he was convinced that if anyone else helped him with this, it would not be nearly as good. For a painstaking few years, he worked and worked until, finally, it was complete. By this time, he was 29. This will be his first time piloting one of his own mechs. With his level of intelligence, it shouldn't be much of a problem.

MW

Name: YY-R9 NE-44M "Ran"

Appearance:

Spoiler: OOC

Standard Weaponry:
1. Bombshell Missiles:
The guns hidden in the "Sleeves" of the Mech can fire avereage sized bombs with, upon detonation, does not create an incredibly large explosion, but release a large number of small er bombs, which then, will detonate, making for a large spread of slightly weaker fire, in addition to the stronger primary explosion.
2. Tailwind Lasers:
The "Tails" Of the Mech contain tiny laser cannons that fire a relatively small laser per tail, but the Mech can curl and fan the tails in different shapes so that the nine lasers make for a deadly spread or concentrated fire.

optional weaponry: None.

other systems: "Ran"'s cockpit can rotate around at a 360 degree angle horizontally, and about 45 degrees up and down, letting Bartholomew be able to see behind the mech, without having to turn the mech around.

"Ran"'s tails also contain a booster in the center, allowing Ran to move at an average speed, and can Overdrive to avoid large explosions, but this usually results in the booster being overheated for a while.

"Ran" Can move on it's feet, but uses built in boosters in it's feet to "Levitate".

Construction and History: YY-R9 NE-44M, "Ran", was built solely by Dr. Igor Ivankov, once he decided that he himself would pilot and fight with his own mechs, tired of what he called "The incompetence of others". Designed, built, and tested to be Dr. Ivankov's greatest mech to date, it's a fearsome machine meant to balance both speed and power.

Holy Jesus on a pogo-stick! This RP blew the hell up over the course of one night. Alright, time to scramble for a fix. If you expressed interest before I tossed that FULL sticker up in the title, you're in, just make a character sheet.

By the way, I'm an extremely liberal GM, in case you haven't figured such out already. If you've got any ideas you want to bring to the table, PM them to me. I can't stand iron fisted RP games, like the ones that I used to see a lot back before I went on my Escapist coma.

@CloggedDonkey: there's not going to be so much of a clear cut winner in this RP. It's not about who comes out with the victory, but about the story you tell on the way there, that matters. Other then that, character looks good.

@BoosterGold: Go team rescue! The Rescue Megazord will be rather entertaining to watch in combat when placed against other more technologically prone machines, like my Gundams, for instance.

@Fishtie: Clearly I'm cool with the 5 turning into 1 theme, since the Rescue Megazord is a go. Have at it.

@Mtn Dew: You're bringing freaking Jehuty into this mess? That's just mean, especially if it's already equipped with the Zero Drive. Keep it clean and you've got an awesome CQB MW on your hands, and an approved machine.

@nuba km: Looking good so far, it'll be fun to see how a fellow gearhead interacts with my own.

@Fury is me: He seems a bit overpowered for fair play in the RP, but I'm sure we can work the good doctor into the RP somewhere... After all, we only need to build a mech of a small blue hedgehog, and I think we're solid as far as beating him.

 

[Zirat]

Spoiler: Sheet

Name: Louis Cypher

Age: 28

Appearance:

Spoiler

Personality: Louis is, to put it bluntly, not the sharpest tool in the shed. Though he does mean well, but his antics usually end up harming himself in the end in some form.
But despite his short comings Louis means well, and despite his current unfortunate setting he's still willing to help others out.

History: Louis has a bad history of jobs, he doesn't seem to be able to hold one down to save his life. Though it nearly came to that one faithful night...
His latest search has led him to being a truck driver, and an actually decent one. One sleepless delivery had him running a refrigerated truck for Sirius Travelers Developmental. He was told that it was worth more than he ever could be, and should anything happen to it he would be reprimanded.
Serverely.

Reassuring them about how much a good driver he was and how their merchandise was in good hands he took off. Things went smoothly at first but during the night he was driving down a back road when he swerved to avoid a deer, long thought to be extinct now, and managed to launch the truck into a ditch where he passed out. The next day he was awoken by the same number of serious men in suits and one other, a honestly frightening woman. He was torn out of the cab by his shirt collar and he was shown the damage, the side of the truck was torn out and whatever was inside was now gone.

The woman then offered him a choice, as now their extremely expensive cargo was now missing it was time for him to pay up. He was either to toil the rest of his life away in their resource mines or they could find something for him to do in the experimental department as they worked out his now massive debt.

Thinking deeply about this he agreed to do the experimental work, where he was then introduced to his new goal, to test out their possibly dangerous new robot line in the MBF to spread the name of the company.
After training him to basically control his mech Louis came to the conclusion that this could really have gone worse, because other than the occasional searing burns and electrical shocks, this was a sweet deal. At least he's piloting a giant robot.
He is also working with Frans Owens, another member of STD's experimental branches testing subjects. The two have not had much interaction with each other, but Louis is somewhat leery of his fellow employee as he seems slightly... off.


Name: Astoroth

Appearance:

Spoiler

Standard Weaponry
Multiple Missile launchers on the outer body

A revolving crusher grip.

The 'fists' also double as a mini gun of sorts, spinning before unloading an assault of armor piercing rounds into the opponent.

optional weaponry
A modified 'eye' on the upper part of the body that launches a concentrated beam.

It's arms can also double as grappling hooks, being able to launch themselves at the target and bring them close in. Though if missed it takes precious time to retract.


other systems
360 Degree field detection systems that puts a pull approximation of the surrounding straight into the cockpits screens to give a full view, offering no blind spots.

Emergency Booster System to move quickly, but doesn't last long.

Construction and History: The H9V-AST0TH, dubbed by it's pilot Astoroth, is one of the new models brought to you by Sirius Travelers Developmental. This is our heavy armor type, meant to protect it's pilot as best as possible and others around it. It is powered by an internal core battery that we promise will not corrode and melt the cockpit shut. Atleast not more than once.
While most robots are all about range we here at STD give you another of our Brawler types, though we wont neglect your ranged needs by applying our missile launchers. No need for accuracy here!
That wraps this up now, place your orders today!

Second sheet coming soon!

I actually had a better Idea, I just changed his name and appearance and took out a few things. Take a look now, Mr. Gm.

 

[Safe in the Dark]

Looks like I'm just barely slipping in, worked on these since yesterday. Barely finished now.

Spoiler: Frann

Name: Frann Owens
Age: 19

Spoiler: Appearance

Personality: At a glance, he seems like an innocent and slightly shy individual, who seems to have trouble interacting with others, and that's true for the most part, but there seems to be something slightly off about him in varying degrees. This is most highly notable in the MBF battles wherein his personality becomes that of an ax-crazy maniac who relishes the destruction of his opponents MW.

History: One of the Company heads of Sirius Travelers Developmental, knows as Ulrich Nester Owens had a child illegitimately a short time after his first son Remilis was born, not wanting this to get out to the press he took the child in and raised it in his basement, teaching it some things and keeping it fed, but never showing any hint of caring for it. Finally as the company needed more test subjects, Ulrich saw this as a great way to get his bastard child away from his house and put to good use, signing him up for the weapons testing programs. He was assigned the Sleiphnir and was entered into the MBF for test data and to spread the company's "Good name". He was paired with another unlucky schlub, but the two don't really know much about each other.

[h4]MW[/h4]
Name: Sleipnir

Spoiler: Appearance

Standard Weaponry
-High output energy weapons installed into the hands for close combat(sort of like claws),
-Hidden chest mounted blaster contained within the torso of the MW(Slow firing rate, and burns energy fast),
-Small missile cache hidden in the wings(20x small low grade missiles in each wing, but missiles can't fire one at a time)
-Both wrists have low power rapid fire plasma weapons

other systems:
Four of a kind: Deploys three special illusion cores from the wings that create 3 holographic copies of the MW to distract the fire off the main body, can only be engaged once per fight, long lasting, but hitting the cores destroys the holograms.

Experimental Flash step: Allows the MW to instantaneously move to a nearby location in an instant. Can only be used 5 times before needing some time to recharge.

Desperation Drive: Disengages the wing systems for more maneuverability but cripples aerial combat.

Construction and History: We present to you the FD495-XN, or known by it's alternate title "Sleiphnir". It's the Sirius Travelers Developmental's newest prototype and we have high hopes for this model. This prototype is guaranteed to not accidentally ignite and part of it's pilot, or their clothing and we promise it won't cause any long lasting psyche breakdown! We here at STD take pride is this new model that has effective combat procedures at almost any range. Still in beta, keep an eye out for the full sale release in a year.

Spoiler: Hayden

Name: Hayden Crowley

Age: 21

Spoiler: Appearance

Personality: Hayden is very outwardly confident and composed at most times, and he can quite often be described as a smart ass. He tends to be slightly perverse and flirtatious when dealing with women, but he's just joking... Mostly. He tend to be more self concerned, but has a good side to him that allows him to befriend others easily. He tends to be kind of nosy and can't help but look into the business of others, partly out of the fact that he's in the news, but also partly because he wants to be able to help those around him.

History: Born to a family of famous racers, pilots, and speedsters, Hayden never really showed any interest in following through and continuing with the family name, it just didn't seem to be for him, so he took up a job writing and reporting news and gossip for a living. That is until his Grandfather the renowned MW fighter Leeroy Crowley AKA "The Black Bird" was struck ill and died suddenly. He left Jack His MW the 'Wind God' in his will, and made it clear that he wished for Hayden to at least try to be an MW pilot. Torn between a desire to make his Grandfather proud, and his wanting to live his own life, Hayden at least decided to try piloting it once and he fell in love with the speed and intensity of it instantly, He'd never felt so alive. He then set forth to both report news, and battle in the MBF, realizing he could easily live up to the best of both worlds. He's still classified as a rookie, but he shows a lot of promise.

[h4]MW[/h4]​

Name: Wind God "Black Bird Reborn"

Spoiler: Appearance

Standard Weaponry
-Hidden arm mounted machine guns in each arm
-Bladed legs and feet
-Specialized arm servos that allow the Wind God to punch at very high speeds
-Left arm mounted blade

optional weaponry:
None

other systems:
-Speed Drive: Limit Break In his ever-growing need to go even faster Hayden developed this tweak to the Wind God's systems, in exchange for silly things like stability, or safety, Hayden shoots the Wind God into Overdrive, breaking all the limits imposed on the system, the end result is an even greater speed output on his already incredibly fast machine, but this very quickly compromises his engine so he can only use it for short periods of time, or else he gets a temporary shutdown as his MW reboots itself.

Construction and History: Straight from his Grandfather's Garage, the Wind God was out of date, and needed a few repairs, so Hayden took it to a trusted contact and mechanic and had it customized slightly to better suit his needs, he decided to take parts from his family's older machines, and from old pre-MW vehicles such as a few Jets, and a race-car that his family owned from his long past relatives, adding the older parts while also tweaking them and adding entirely new systems like an experimental anti gravity system that allows it to fly. Hayden renamed his heavily customized version the the Wind God "Black Bird Reborn" in honor of his grandfather. He sacrifices armor and weaponry for speed, so he can't really take a beating and at best he has to just dish out small bursts of very quick damage, but he's very hard to hit.

Spoiler: Fabulous Dr. Horatio Faust

Name: Dr. Horatio Faust

Age: 28

Spoiler: Appearance

Personality: A very eccentric and extravagant man. He's very very flamboyant, and some might even call him outrageous. He'll try anything once and he's a very odd man. If there's a simple solution to something he'll look for a more complicated one just because he can. He's a highly intelligent eccentric.

History: The Faust family name is known for eccentric geniuses but Horatio broke the fabulous mold into an entirely new dimension of fabulousity. At a young age he showed an interest in MW's and studied them profusely, using his family's huge amounts of wealth to fund his studies and his designs, but he could never get anything to work. So he encountered Dr.Ivan and then instantly decided that they were rivals, as his inane fake-rivalry inspired him, he finally made a MW that worked and it suited him well, now he's in the MBF to just faff about and annoy Dr.Ivan, who to this day, does not know who this strange man is.

MW

Name: The Fabulous Flying Faust

Spoiler: Appearance

Standard Weaponry
-Double cuff-link grenade launchers
-Collar pops off to form bladed boomerang
-Rifle/cane
-Top hat beam cannon

optional weaponry
-Pipe phallus energy blade

other systems
Fabulousity Drive: Truly, Truly, Outrageous.



Construction and History: The Fabulous Flying Faust is the Dream machine that Dr.Faust has spent almost the entirety of his life making and perfecting, it was constructed in the Faust labs by him and him alone as he lovingly tweaked and tuned every single piece to be his perfect machine.

 

[Fragrance of Mtn Dew]

@Mtn Dew: You're bringing freaking Jehuty into this mess? That's just mean, especially if it's already equipped with the Zero Drive. Keep it clean and you've got an awesome CQB MW on your hands, and an approved machine.

Well I finished up that sheet and made a new one. As you'll see, I'm not using the actual Jehuty, just that image is close to what I pictured Lyn's MW to look like and when I wrote out a description it just wasn't as good. But anyway, just wanted to let you know that both my sheets are done in my above post. Hope they're alright.

 

[BloodyThoughts]

Spoiler: Kenneth Anderson

Name: Kenneth Anderson

Age: 22

Appearance:

Spoiler: Kenneth

Personality: On your first encounter with him, he would seem like a cold, unfriendly, and un-talkative person. However, he is actually a nice person, if a little bit shy. He is smart, and calculating. On the battlegrounds, he doesn't do a single thing without first putting a little thought into it, even if it is just a split second of thought. His is tenacious, and restless. He would not stop a battle until he had won, or his mech simply could not go on.

History: Kenneth was born to a family of explorers. His father was an Archaeologist, and his mother was an Anthropologist, to be exact. From the time he was 5, his mother and father were teaching him all about history, from when it all started, to modern day today, when they got free time, though. However, the two topics that they stayed on the longest though, were the Greek and Roman civilizations. Kenneth was absolutely fascinated with both, and even after he got out of that subject, he would go back whenever he could, and read some more on them.

At the same time, he had become interested in the Mech Battling Federation. He had always dreamed of building his own mech, one based off of both the Spartans of Sparta, Greece, and the Roman Soldiers. However, with his mother and father both wanting his to take up a career in either one of their positions, that seemed a bit unlikely. At least, to him.

When he was 18, he had told his dad of his dreams of joining MBF. He had told him of his ideas for his own mech. He told him that he would like to join the federation, even if he had to make his mech from scratch. This convinced his father. Rather than having Kenneth make his mech on his own, he hired mechanics to build it for him.

It was a 2 year project. The mechanics spent long hours trying to perfect this mech for Kenneth, and Kenneth supervised them, making sure that the mech would be the perfect one for him. Finally, it was built, and ready to go. Kenneth was smart, though. He knew that he would want to train with this mech to get the feel of it first. He spent another 2 years training endless.

Finally, Kenneth entered the Mech Battling Federation with his mech, Ajax, named after the Greek Hero.

MW​

Name: Ajax

Appearance:

Spoiler: OOC

Standard Weaponry
-Lance
-Shield

Optional Weaponry:
None

Other Systems
Strong Booster Jets: When Ajax was created, powerful jets were implemented into it's feet so that the mech could jump to great heights. The jets, however, cannot allow Kenneth's mech to fly. It is only good for a good leap into the air. So, it for either attacks in the air, or a Grand Skyfall which involves Kenneth to jump as high as he can, fall down, and smash his Lance into the ground in an attempt to badly damage an enemy mech. It creates a powerful shock wave when Ajax makes contact with his spear, so even if your not exactly in the middle of it, you will still feel some of it's punch. This is only used as a finishing blow, though, as the fall to the ground damages Ajax as well.

Immortal Shield: Since Ajax is solely a melee mech, without this ability, ranged mechs would have an edge over it. For a few seconds(5), Ajax can create a power shield that covers it's entire body, except for the core placed on it's back where the shield generates from. It can take heavy damage, and still provide high protection to Ajax as he charges in for a first strike. Again, this lasts only for a few seconds, 5 seconds at most.

Overdrive: Ajax can the energy it uses over a short period of time, and in a sudden burst, it'll start jabbing it's spear at insane speeds at it's enemy. This attack's accuracy all depends on luck, and where Ajax decides to put the spear. Kenneth will know when he'll be able to do this attack, because when Ajax was built, they implemented an energy gauge in the cockpit to tell him when it's ready.

Construction and History: Ajax was built by about a dozen mechanics payed right out of Kenneth's father's pocket. These mechanics spent 2 long, hard years working on this mech, as Kenneth supervised them. Every so often, everyone thought of something that could be touched up upon on Ajax. All idea's were, because of his fathers demands, run by Kenneth. Only he could approve and deny them.

Ajax was based off of two great civilization of the past. Greek, and Roman. Mostly Greek Spartans. The spear, his attacks, battle positions. However, the Roman culture did have a heavy influence on it's design. The shield, and yet again, more battle positions were taking from its culture's soldiers.

Ajax was designed to be a heavy hitter. However, he was also designed to be quick and agile. As a result, instead of heavy armor, Ajax had at most armor that provided medium protection. However, his shield was made to make up for that.

Once it was finished. Kenneth thought it would be a good idea to train with it, before he went into the MBF, just so he could get used to it. This took another two years, as Kenneth could never decide if he was ready or not. He had damaged his mech a few times, as some dents will show, but he knew it would all be worth it once he stepped on the battlefield.

 

[Sgt_Jakeman214]

OK, so I went Mech shopping, and combined 2 of the characters from one of my favourite anime series with 2 of my favourite Mechs. I took a bit of liberty with the backstory creating 2 factions in the Last Great War of Humanity, 200 years ago. Anywho, here's my two characters!

<spoiler=Kallen Kozuki>
Name: Kallen Kozuki
Age: 21
Appearance: <spoiler=Kallen>

Personality: Kallen is a tough and rebellious girl with a fiery spirit. She won?t take no for an answer and when she puts herself towards a task she goes after it with every fibre of her being. She is loyal to a fault and she is very sarcastic, with a dry sense of humour.
History: Kallen completed her schooling in Japan and it was there that she met Lelouch vi Britannia and fell madly in love with him, although she refused to believe it at the time. At the age of 16 both Lelouch and Kallen snuck into the school Mech hangar and ?liberated? 2 Gundams, taking the Mechs for a joyride around Tokyo City. After a long and wild chase with both the Police and Army, Kallen and Lelouch abandoned the Mechs and escaped on foot, getting away without being caught. They both fell in love with Mechs of all kinds and decided to graduate with degrees in Mech History (Early to Great War). Now Kallen and Lelouch are married and studying the history of these great machines, travelling the world over to find rare and valuable wreckages from the Great War at the start of the last century for profit and fun. She, along with her husband Lelouch were invited by the MBF to participate in the latest round of matches as Celebrity Historians, and to give the audiences a bit of Old School Mech flavour.

MW

Name: Uziel Mk2S
Appearance: <spoiler=Uziel BattleMech>

Standard Weaponry: 2 x Arm mounted Particle Projectile Cannons, 2 x 20mm Machine Guns, 1 Short Range Missile-6 launcher.

Optional weaponry: The Uziel Mk2S can have its left arm PPC replaced with an ER Heavy Laser and an ER Small Laser, and its right arm PPC replaced with a Large Pulse Laser and an ER Small Laser.

Other Systems: Six jump jets (180m jump capability), Eight Tons of medium armour, Anti Missile defence System (AMS), Target Acquisition and Guidance systems (TAG gear).

Construction and History: Engineered and built by Australian Defence Corporations R&D division to counter both the Gundam and Single Battlesuit style Mechs deployed by the South East Asia Coalition during the late stages of the war, the Uziel Class BattleMech weighs in at 50 Tons and stands 30 feet tall. A fearsome looking killing machine, the Uziel is a medium Mech that is highly mobile with running speeds up to 95km/h and jumping 180m high whilst still bringing a massive punch to the battlefield. Its laser and energy heavy weapons layout allowed it to function away from supply lines for extended periods of time, especially when provided with long range artillery and missile support thanks to its extensive TAG gear suite. Moving in lances of 4 Mechs, the Uziel proved its worth in the dusty open battlegrounds of northern Australia, along with the dense jungle fighting in South East Asia. Only a single regiment of these formidable war machines were produced before the end of the war, with all surviving Mechs being scattered across the country in single underground bunkers on the Aussie?s sceptical view of peace, and ?Just in case, mate.?

Despite being over 150 years old, Kallen?s Uziel Mk2S is kept in fighting fit condition by her and Lelouch. Built tough to wreck stuff, the Uziel is her personal ride when out exploring and travelling the world, whilst Lelouch drives the heavy anti-grav sled with all their gear and storage space for ?loot? they discover. It bears the scars of a few skirmishes with pre-war automated defence systems with pride and is painted bright red with gold highlights. She maintains that she pilots it for ?security? but she won?t admit she just loves riding around in a 30 foot tall walking harbinger of death.

<spoiler=Lelouch Kozuki>
Name: Lelouch Kozuki
Age: 21
Appearance: <spoiler=Lelouch>

Personality: Lelouch is a cool, calm, collected and calculating man. His every step is planned carefully, but no set in stone. Even when he is clutching at straws and has been wrongfooted he still comes across as totally in control. Lelouch likes to think things through, although he is fully capable of making split second decisions and following them to the end. When he is in his Mech, he adopts the persona of Zero, a powerful orator and commander, standing tall and proud giving orders and enveloping the battlefield in his complete control. However, Zero does tend to become more of a Large Ham and everything becomes overly dramatic and over the top.
History: Lelouch completed his schooling in Japan, on the run from assassins who were paid by a rival British noble family to wipe out his entire family. After a short but decisive game of cat and mouse, the assassins cornered Lelouch, only to be gunned down by hidden army special forces. Lelouch had manipulated the special forces into believing they were chasing a terrorist faction and organized the trap. Afterwards he settled into school and a normal life in Japan, where he then met Kallen Kozuki and had many adventures with her. At the age of 16 both Lelouch and Kallen snuck into the school Mech hangar and ?liberated? 2 Gundams, taking the Mechs for a joyride around Tokyo City. After a long and wild chase with both the Police and Army, Kallen and Lelouch abandoned the Mechs and escaped on foot, getting away without being caught. Lelouch felt his love for Kallen blossom at that moment and kissed her, sealing their love for each other. They both fell in love with Mechs of all kinds and decided to graduate with degrees in Mech History (Early to Great War). Now Kallen and Lelouch are married and studying the history of these great machines, travelling the world over to find rare and valuable wreckages from the Great War at the start of the last century for profit and fun. Strangely, he took her family name, as his family was all but wiped out and the Kozuki family ?adopted? him. Along with his wife Kallen, Lelouch was invited by the MBF to participate in the latest round of matches as Celebrity Historians, and to give the audiences a bit of Old School Mech flavour.

MW

Name: Vulture
Appearance: <spoiler=Vulture BattleMech>

Standard Weaponry: 2 x Long Range Missile-20 racks, 2 x Large Pulse Lasers (one in each arm mount) 2 x Medium Pulse Lasers (one in each arm mount).

Optional weaponry: The Vulcan can have its 2 LRM-20 racks replaced by 2 HAG-20mm Gauss Rifles, providing it with the ability to provide medium range direct fire support. The HAG-20 fires several Gauss rounds in quick succession before needing to recharge its capacitors for the next salvo. This prohibits long range firing, but allows accurate medium range fire and devastating close range firepower.

Other Systems: Target Acquisition and Guidance gear (TAG gear), Targeting Denial and Supression Systems (TDSS).

Construction and History: Engineered and built by Australian Defence Corporations R&D division to support the Uziel class BattleMech, the Vulture class BattleMech weighs in at 60 Tons and stands 30 feet tall. Named because it really does look like a vulture with its short profile and stubby wings, the Vulture is a medium Mech that provides long range indirect fire support to allied forces. Using its TAG gear, it can mark targets for friendly attack as well as receive marks and provide either direct or out of sight support with its LRM-20 missiles. The Vulture is able to stand up well in direct combat as well with its Medium and Heavy Pulse Lasers packing a mighty punch. It is a very mobile Mech, with running speeds up to 85km/h however it has a turn rate that is slightly lower than average as it was not intended for extended frontline combat. Its Pulse Laser layout allows it to defend itself and still mount attacks even when out of missiles. Moving in pairs, Vultures proved their worth in the dusty open battlegrounds of northern Australia, along with the dense jungle fighting in South East Asia with extensive fire support playing pivotal roles in many running battles and sieges. Only two companies of these formidable war machines were produced before the end of the war, with all surviving Mechs being scattered across the country in single underground bunkers on the Aussie?s sceptical view of peace, and ?Just in case, mate.?

Despite being over 150 years old, Lelouch?s Vulture is kept in pristine condition by himself and Kallen. It is painted a deep red that is almost black with gold highlights in a striking colour scheme. Lelouch has never ridden it in combat, although the Vulture itself has been in numerous battles during the Great War. He has however ran many simulations both on his own and with and against Kallen.

I just though we should, you know include fighting styles so each person knows how the other person are going to fight with their mech.

New plan.

Go team Piece-Of-Junk!

Spoiler: Team Rising Fire

Overview: The Rising Fire team is still relatively new to the MBF circuit, only competing for about 2 years. Still, despite it's new vibe it stands out due to an exceptional quality... it's loosing record.

While the team is not without it's victories, they are few and far between and the RF team is already something of a friendly joke amongst even casual MBF fans. Still, their underdog situation and constant no surrender attitude has earned them something of a soft spot in the average spectator's heart. Few people root against them and the team has even developed a very small but fiercely loyal following. (About half of which are mostly Hank fangirls)

Some would say that most of their problems stem from the lack of a sponsor. RA pilots go into combat using old MWs and underequipped so often that they seemed to have earned the nickname Team Piece-Of-Junk. Budget and supply problems are so common that it's more newsworthy when they aren't having such issues then when they are. Of course some would point out that if the team's track record was better then they probably would have a sponsor by now.

Though not the best pilots, and often using inferior equipment; the members of Team Rising Fire are somewhat known for using anything (legal) to win their fights including irregular tactics and sudden improvisation. Though the team works best together the members also often compete in solo and duet matches.

Team motto: "Rise fighting spirit like fire and never die!"

Team flag: A robot arm and canon crossed, both on fire against a red field with blue bordering.

Major team members:
Thomas Andwander - team owner/pilot
Hank Jackson - pilot
Georgena Yeon - pilot
Zexal Ral - chief mechanic/pit chief
Cynthia Jackson - merchandiser/accountant

Spoiler: Thomas Andwander

Name: Thomas Andwander

Age: 24

Appearance:

Spoiler

Personality: Tom is a real go getter who never gives up on what he wants. While he can be a bit hasty to act he's also quite clever and can be devilishly patient if it's to get something that he's set his eyes on. Tenacious is not his middle name, but it might as well be.

He's usually very friendly and is quite polite when the situation calls for it. A generally supportive but unlucky guy.

Has an almost inhuman tolerance for alcohol.

History: Tom grew up on a steady diet of MBF fights and the stars that shone within. Even from a young age he idolized the fighters and their mechs. Tom's one dream in life was to join his heroes in the field.

Unfortunately, Tom's decisively middle class family didn't even have the money to get him into his school jr. team. Tom seemed doomed to live a totally normal life with a boring desk job.

Fate intervened though as Tom's wealthy, distant, and obtuse uncle died leaving all of his moderate wealth to Tom. (ain't that always the way?) Tom used the money to train himself in methods of MW fighting and then put together his team to finally join the league. One of his largest expenditures was on a massive, state of the art, powerful MW... which was totally destroyed in Tom's first match.

With the inheritance gone Tom was forced to scrimp and save to keep his team operational rather then see his chance slip away. He leads Team Rising Fire both on and off the field with a great deal of spirit.

MW

Name: Arbalist

Appearance:

Spoiler

Standard Weaponry:
50cm solid shell cannon (right arm)
Fighting arm (left arm)
Twin machine guns (hip mounted)
Flair/chaff launcher

Optional weaponry: (all left hand)
Combat shield
Light phase gun
Tritanium sword

Other systems:
Nothing

Construction and History: The NB-062 was a true work of art; holding exceptional firepower without sacrificing mobility or armor, truly a masterpiece of engineering... 15 years ago when it was new.

This particular unit was acquired semi-functional by Tom from a scrap yard and was mostly fixed up with second string parts. Still, it's a testament to the unit that, as old as it is, it's still capable of competing with newer MWs at all.

Built in an era where stability and armor were more valued then flash or firepower, it's surprisingly resilient in the face of modern weapons.

Spoiler: Hank Jackson

Name: Hank Jackson

Age: 25

Appearance:

Spoiler

Personality: Laid back and easy going. Tends to abandon projects that end up being too much work. However, he's also constantly watching out for those around him. While some call him lazy he would say that he is always well rested to jump into action at a moment's notice.

While he doesn't intend to he often projects an aura of a 'cool guy' or someone who doesn't care about much. Only when really pressed does he reveal his deep inner determination and loyalty.

Really likes cats.

History: Hank was a school hood friend of Tom's for a very long time. However, even from a young age Hank was a smart talented boy. Unfortunately, since he was able to breeze through most early challenges he never learned much about hard work or practice.

Hank continued to float through his life with no real goal until his best friend suddenly recruited him into a new MBF team. Like most other things Hank seemed to have a natural skill for piloting MWs, but his tendency to not take things seriously flowed over as well.

Still, due to his good looks, natural skill, and 'cool' personality Hank developed a small cult following of fangirls. His recent marriage to teammate Cynthia has caused something of a schism in the group with most agreeing that it was a perfect match while some say it's terrible and won't last long.

Some experts believe that with a proper taskmaster and a better team Hank could become quite the contender, but he seems quite content to stand by his old friends as Team RF's CQC expert.

Construction and History: The Kaland Yards Special 02 was a model MW produced in limited numbers about 6 years ago to counter the more ranged emphasizing MWs of the time.

This particular unit was acquired by Team Rising Fire from a retiring MBF fighter who didn't need it anymore. It's been heavily modified for extra speed and power in an attempt to match more modern MWs, but the massive amount of part replacement has brought up multiple compatibility issues. This has resulted in the mech being a bit of a hanger queen, spending more time being worked on then actually fighting.

Spoiler: Georgena Yeon

Name: Georgena Yeon

Age: 24

Appearance:

Spoiler

Personality: Fierce and constantly active. Geo finds sitting still hard for long periods of time. She's a very active person who enjoys working out and staying fit.

Though both her skills and her looks are only above average she takes a great deal of pride in both, particularly her sense of fashion. Geo is often friendly with most anyone unless they do something to offend her.

Has always had a dream of producing her own line of clothing.

History: Geo's father was a mid ranking MBF pilot. However, his constant work and competition meant that he wasn't home very much and Geo grew up resenting him. She ended up channeling that resentment into a strange goal; she would become a better pilot then her father while being a better person as well. Geo threw herself into an intense, almost self destructive, training regime.

When trying to join a MBF team she was rejected by several, but her fierce spirit impressed Thomas Andwander who hired her to be the third pilot for Team Rising Flame. Over the time of fighting with the team Geo was agitated by the lack of success, but eventually came to accept her teammates as friends as well.

During her early combats Geo tried several methods of combat before eventually discovering her apparent talent for electronics. Geo has somewhat realized the absurdity of her goals and now does her best as a team member.

Standard Weaponry:
Auto canon (head)
Light phase canon (head)
Vertical missile launch rack X10 (back)

Optional weaponry:
Mounted drum dummy rocket launcher, up to X4, 12 rockets each (side)

Other systems:
Multiphase signal disruptor: This jammer suite can be used to interfere with a wide variety of electronic detection and targeting methods, causing them to lose effect or even become worthless. In addition, modern MWs that rely on advanced special equipment may also find them interfered with. However, to maintain maximum effectiveness or specific controlled jamming requires constant attention and adjustment from the operator.

Construction and History: The AFW L103 is a mass produced light MW that has always held it's modularity and high adaptability as it's strong selling point.

This particular unit has been extensively reinforced for heavier combat and much of it's space is taken up by the large signal disrupter. This means it needs to rely mostly on limited ammunition explosives for real offensive punch.

Spoiler: Zexal Ral

Name: Zexal Ral

Age: 57

Appearance:

Spoiler

Personality: Zexal is a bit of a grump in his old age. However, he's not nearly as stoic as he first seems and loves a party with friends. He is very dutiful and is well known to have never backed out of a promise no mater what it was. While most of his experience is in older technologies he is constantly entranced by all the new wonders of each new breakthrough.

Absolutely loves the fact that his grandchildren think he's neat for working on MWs.

History: Zexal spent most of his lifetime as a registered mechanic working on industrial equipment. However, when he was fired from his job he found that his poor investments wouldn't allow him to retire comfortably.

At the same time Thomas was looking for a head mechanic for his new MW team but couldn't afford to hire a up and coming young person. So Zexal took up the position and has become another close member of the team.

Spoiler: Cynthia Jackson

Name: Cynthia "Kim" Jackson

Age: 27

Appearance:

Spoiler

Personality: observant and caring, Kim is a people person to the core and a natural caretaker. However, Kim can also be quite blunt and isn't afraid to air any complaint that she has to whomever it concerns. She is very humble though and generally dislikes praise or being the center of attention, sometimes to the point of serious self degradation.

Kim's favorite food is fish, specifically salmon.

History: Born Cynthia Kyung Hwa, Kim spent a relatively uneventful early life in a large sprawling family. She eventually graduated from collage Com Laude with a degree in accounting. However, once she was looking for work it seemed almost impossible to get a good job due to incidental factors. Rather then impose again on her family again she got a job working for Team Rising Flame.

As the team progressed though it turned out that they didn't have nearly enough people to do certain important jobs that one after another were taken up by Kim. Eventually, in addition to running almost the entire business half of the team Kim ended up doing almost every odd job that no one else knew how to do. However, at this point she wouldn't trade her job for any other.

During around the second year of Team RF's existence Kim began an on-again off-again relationship with one of the team's pilots, Hank Jackson. Recently the pair were married in a small ceremony attended only by their close family and friends.

I tried to put the whole thing in one big spoiler, but the preview said there was too much text to put in a spoiler. I didn't even know that you could do that.

Spoiler: Maximilian Chance + Promethea

Name: Maximilian Chance
Age: 17
Appearance:

Spoiler: Max's Appearance

Personality: On the face of it, Maximilian eats, sleeps and breathes for MBF, seemingly believing that any moment he isn't training for or partaking in it is a moment wasted. This 'ceaseless pursuit of perfection' is a façade made to keep fans and reporters who try to get close to him away. However, in reality, he isn't always after a 100% flawless victory. He actually realises that what he's part of is entertainment and that he has to be entertaining, above all else.

Off camera he's a pretty nice guy. He tries to be funny, smiles a lot more often and manages to exude a certain charm. It's actually fairly remarkable how different he can be.

History: Maximilian is the youngest official MBF competitor in history, and he didn't get that title by having parents with more money than common sense either. He worked long and hard to convince those who would label him "too young" that he was easily as skilled (and entertaining) as the rabble they had constantly applying for the MBF, winning his way through qualifiers with a mass-production humanoid MW known as the Artemis. Using prize money from other leagues and tournaments, Max was able to build a completely customised MW which suited his style of combat.

He's been in the circuit for less than a year but has enough wins under his belt to make competitors think twice before underestimating him. Even when he loses he takes it in stride.

MW​

Name: Promethea
Appearance:

Spoiler: Promethea's Appearance

Why yes, I did must choose the first humanoid mech with a sword-type appendage I saw; why do you ask? >_>

Standard Weaponry: Claw x 2, Vulcan x 2, Beam Dagger x 2, Beam Sabre x 2, Long Blade, Short Blade, Sword

All are present on the MW and can be switched between mid-battle almost seamlessly.

Optional Weaponry: None

Other Systems
Camouflage: Camouflage is exactly what it sounds like; Promethea blends into the background and becomes invisible to the naked eye. Additionally, Promethea will lower its energy output to such low levels that it will become almost impossible to find using radars and other equipment. This makes it vulnerable to counter-attack if you can find it.

Construction and History: Promethea is based upon the Artemis branch of humanoid MWs (melee-centric design using some ranged weaponry for support), but uses 100% custom-built parts everywhere from the swords to the armour plating on the chest to the arms on the pilot's chair.

This is by no means done, but I'm putting it up so that I have a greater incentive to finish it. Also people will be able to tell me what I've messed up. Which I'm certain I will have done in some way.

Okay, so we've got a few Gundams, a few smaller humanoid type anime Mechs and some BattleMechs. I'm surprised that noone has picked a Zoid yet, but thats cool.

@SargentToughie- You say the battles will be freeform, does that mean that two or more people will post against each other or will you take control and do the write up?

 

[SargentToughie]

... This RP grew wings a lot more then I thought it would. To be quite honest, there's no possible way that I'll be able to do all this by myself. Everybody, be aware that I'll be on the lookout for some people to be mini-GMs, operating the RP while I'm unable to. Mainly, this consists of moderating people's fights against one another, and making sure that everybody's playing fair.

This RP relies hard and heavy on you guys being responsible and mature players to work. Anyway, while I don't have the time or the dedication to read each and every individual character sheet, it's great to see that you're all putting so much time and dedication into your characters, it really helps motivate me to come by the Escapist more consistently, like I used to. Keep up the awesome work, I'll have an Opening post for the real RP itself either later on this evening, or tomorrow.

EDIT: @Jakeman: No, you will always be in complete control of your character, unless you betray my trust and be a god moding douche.

you left my dino-mech out from that list

 

[crewman_number_6]

I was wondering if I could be the "mini-GM". May I?

 

[SargentToughie]

I was planning on picking out my helpers from the players who seemed responsible enough to handle the role.

And, no offense intended, but you're a stranger to me. It would be kinda silly for me to hand the keys to my RP over to somebody that I don't know, you know?

 

[Sgt_Jakeman214]

Looking at everybody else's choices in Mech, I'm wondering if mine are a tad overpowered at weapons range...

But then if most of the Gundam-esque Mechs get close to my BattleMechs things will quickly go sour for me, so I think that makes that point moot. Also, who is left to post up a character/mech sheet?

 

[BoosterGold]

@SargentToughie Just want you to know that I haven't been this excited for an RP in ages. I've got a good feeling about this. also do you prefer Sarg, or toughie or something else

Okay, bye, Good luck!
