History

The year is 2245
The problem is, our home. Or is it our own fault?
After millions of years, the Earth has matured into a full-fledged planet. It has earned it's claws and it intends to use them. From its womb, in the utmost depths of its surface, comes the anti-bodies of Earth, what will come to be known as the Spore.

The Humans, were a part of Earth, just like the plants and the other mammals. Cells of the body alike, however sometimes cells become cancerous, and need to be destroyed. So the Spore started killing every human in sight. The gnarled monsters started slaughtering everyone. The earth governments had no choice but to band together for the first time in history and deal with the threat with their combined military power.

The Spore was unrelenting, and flooded the human's effort by sheer number. Then one day several scientists in the field of Robot Technology presented a top secret project they had been working on for many years - Project MECH.

Mechanically
Enhanced
Combat
Harness

At first the MECH suits were just that - suits. But as time went on the military worked with the scientists to create much larger representations of the original MECH suits. The MECH II’s stood taller than most buildings, the standard size being that of two stories high. The giant ‘robots’ were humanoid and have simular flexibility of a human, and such they were generally only piloted by single occupants - The larger models had gunners, however.

After a few years of fighting the Spore, and winning. The Earth adapted, and larger spores started appearing, just as large as most MECHs. Eventually the Spore was too much for the united government to handle, and so they went to their contingency plan.

Just over half of the human population was eradicated within the next few years, so the government started boarding themselves into what cities they had and everyone proclaimed a free for all. Every man for himself, as it were. There was no government anymore, just sporadic leaders.

As society began to fall apart, the MECHs also changed. All kinds of MECHs were beginning to be built, and used for piracy and ‘illegal’ enforcement for gangs, firms and other bad-land societies.

The MECHs varied from Military grade ‘suits’


To cruder, less humanoid models:


To the much more mundane models:


As it stands now, there is little hope for humanity. Not only are we fighting the planet itself, but now we struggle against a post-apocalyptic society enforced with giant robots.

EDIT: These images are purely for example, not in any way a restriction.



Profile templates:

Name: (duh)
Age: ...
Occupation: The majority of this RP will be set in the 'wastes' of earth. So think of things like someone who collects and sells scrap parts from mechs, or mercenary (NOT EVERYONE GETS TO BE A MERCENARY!), Mob enforcer, merchant. Y'know. Things like that. Keep in mind too that the 'wastes' are not really always wastelands. Think of the movie I am Legend. Without the zombies. The earth is over grown and lush, not everywhere, but it's just not your average nuclear wasteland.

Description: This is your personality and physical appearance. Keep some things to the imagination. This would also cover history, if you so choose to elaborate.

Mech: Your mech, everything about it, IF you own one. You don't need to have one. I will elaborate more on Mechs below.


Mech Classes:
As you can see above, Mechs come in a variety of styles and classes. Technically the military grade humanoid ones are the only true mechs. Though by definition anything can be a mech if it works like one.
Most mechs are about 3 stories high. Though some are smaller and some are larger. Most, apart from the larger ones, called Mech Platforms, are operated by a single or duel occupants.

Humanoid:
Humanoid Mechs or, the Suit Class MECH, are the most maneuverable of all mechs. They are also the hardest to get as they are the only 'true' mechs. Meaning they are produced and operated by the varying military forces behind the citys walls. Only the richest and most powerful people in the wastes have Suit Class MECHs.

Light Class Mechs:
The Light Class MECHs are obviously smaller than the Walker Class MECHs, but are faster and more maneuverable, though not more so than the Suit Class. They are not able to carry a lot of large armaments, but make up for it in their general ability to be the most compatible class for long range precision.

Scout MECHs
The scout class is the smallest, but the quietest and obviously the stealthiest. They are able to be so quiet due to their inability to carry any weapons, apart from mines (and other explosives), and a 'small' machine gun. They are by far the fastest, and only less maneuverable than the Suit Class.

Walker MECHs
Walkers are the most common MECH in the wastes. They are slightly humanoid but do not have the same amount of handling that the Suits have. (Refer to the second picture above). They are the cheapest and the most practical to use on the field.

Zoo class MECHs:
Zoo Class mechs, are a very unique class, and a new one. They are animalistic, usually in the form of cats, dogs, or other four legged creatures. (who's seen ZOIDS? Yeah...Like that). They are not very maneuverable, but in saying that they do possess the ability to jump great heights, and are general harder to hit due to their unique shape.

Misc info:
Use your imagination, those classes are a guideline, as all the mechs in the wastes were built by god knows who, so it really is up to your imagination, by try and fit in those classes.
Also they are not all the classes there will be, but those are the ones I am allowing the use of.

The word Mech in this RP I can see being a bit tricky to punctuate properly so when used in a sentence where someone is getting in their mech it is written like that (no capital). If you are talking about a specific type or class of MECH is it written like that.

[Renegade]

Name: Real name is William Fantum, but he is known as 'Claw'.
Age: 24
Occupation: None. Drifter. Doing whatever to keep occupied. Claw travels around doing whatever to keep him occupied. He wants not for money, he has plenty of it at his disposal.
Description: William is a quiet guy, having been raised in a mansion with only a much younger sibling, he never got out much, and was home schooled, so he never really developed very good social skills. When the spore emerged he was 13, and was put into a MECH training program so he could fight in the Fantum name. After a few more years the contingency plan went into affect and the main cities, or what was left, were locked up and walled off.
William's father died soon after his 15th birthday. He was killed during a riot at the city walls as (as they were to be known) wasters stormed the gates. The riot was let by a very powerful gang, and William's father was captured and killed by that gang's leader.
His mother was left to look after William and his sister Yvette by herself, well herself and the maids anyway. But William hated it, he started leaving the protection of the mansion and roving around the city's ruined half in his Mech. Funnily enough he wished to get out.
When he was 18, William did just that. Escaped. He went to a military acceptance exam, or at least he was suppose to sit an exam. Instead he stole and outfitted his mech with high explosive ordnance and blew a hole in the walls just big enough for him and his mech to escape through. He was been roving around ever since.

William is rather small, standing only 5'5, but bravery shines through his dark green eyes. His black hair was once tidy and forever trimmed in a bowl cut that his mother liked, now it was shoulder length and messy. He does not smile much, and will come across as abrupt, rude and anti-social, but deep down he is a nice enough guy.

This is what he looks like. Besides the armor. Instead he usually wears his pilot outfit, which once belonged to his father.
It consisted of a double-breasted black drab tunic with red trimming, bearing the emblem of his father's regiment, a phoenix, with "8th"printed underneath it. The name name that was usually printed above the seal was mostly scratched out, leaving only the letter F, and T. It was worn with matching trousers, and a pistol belt. The shoulder showed his father's rank in the Mech Army, a captain - Two silver strips. Above that showed his Mech's emblem, two rifles behind a shield with a crescent moon.

Mech: His Mech is a heavily modified Suit Class mech. It not longer has to same sleekness as the military grade Suits. It basically looked like a crude version of a standard soldier class suit. Not originally very powerful, given to recruits of the military, Claw has spent a lot of time and money upgrading it's ordnance to support missiles, and a heavier machine-gun. As well as plasma cannons on each wrist of the suit, acting as the main weapon.
The mech also has elongated 'fingers' that act as claws, which William loves to use. The paint job tells that story well with a paited red four lined 'claw mark' on the side of the left shoulder and on the back. The rest of the mech has been painted non regulation black.

[Tifa Lockhart]

Name: Yvette Fantum. Her friends call her "Yiv"
Age: 19
Occupation: Scrap merchant with 'nefarious' sources.

Description: Yiv wears tight fitting leather pants that lace up the sides. They're a dark chocolate brown colour and fairly worn. Her top is also leather but black and it looks a lot like a corset. It laces up the front and is fairly low cut. It does a good job of flaunting her fairly modest chest. It only comes down to the base of her ribcage, leaving her mid-drift exposed. She wears a studded belt with a large round buckle that bears her family crest. Her hair is short at the back with a long fringe either side of her face. It is black, though she's had the fringe bleached white. She's on the short side, but she wears particularly high heels in order to hide this fact. She seems much older than she is.
Personality wise she's abrupt, arrogant and impatient with a fiery temper. She can hold her own in a tricky situation and is not afraid to flaunt herself if it will get her way.

Yvette ran away from home a year or so ago, tired of being treated like a naive little girl who needed to be protected all the time. That, and she hated the way her mother treated her like a doll, spending hours dressing her up and doing her hair. After she left she had a run in with a gang of 'scrap merchants' who made a living attacking mech users and stealing their parts. The gang took her in and trained her up. She now works with them, ever hopeful that one day she'll run into that asshole of a brother who vanished and left her with their mother.

The only other notable detail that I want to mention is that she works with a partner, his name is Luis Vakner, he's a German mechanic, and the one who pulls apart (and constructs) the mechs that the gang come into possession of. The two have a strange 'snarky' relationship, it would be difficult for an outsider to decide whether they were friends or arch enemies.

Mech: Her mech is a Zoo type, though close inspection would reveal it to be a heavily modified Light Class. The mech is of moderate size and resembles a velociraptor. It possess two small machine guns on the small forearms while its large back legs provide it with admirable maneuverability. The mech's 'tail' is a system of pulleys and chains that Vakner has rigged to be able to be used a bit like a whip. It lacks much more firepower, and relies a lot on ambush. The cockpit runs the entire enterior of the 'head' and usually contains both Yiv and Vakner.

I like the Mech. Approved.

[Yuffie Kisaragi]

Name: Nicolai Avadris
Age: 20 years
Occupation: Debatable, he's been known to refer to himself as a 'survivalist', but officially he is a collector...of all sorts. Information and various scraps and spare parts he sells to anyone...for the right price.

Description: Comes across as a 'shady dealer' type, but in reality he doesn't sell ANYTHING that isn't good quality. Only functional arms or ammunition leave his possession and only truthful information is uttered from his lips. He's just an opportunist and has been known to push his luck with prices at times, if he feels the wares are worth it.

He is a slight man, lacking the look of a fighter, with frazzled, untamed dark hair that most mistake for being black thanks to the varying types of soot and dust he is usually coated in, it's actually a dark sorrel colour (Red-brown). Many have described him as "having the look of a chimney sweep gone fly-boy" in a long coat with a grubby black fur collar -complete with pockets for loose change and spare pens- a pair of worn and torn camo cargo pants tucked untidily into heavy, scuffed-up military boots -the most expensive thing he owns, many agree- and covered from head to toe is dust and soot. In actuality the most expensive thing he owns is an old, practically broken watch. By what he says, it is an antique made from high quality silver, and it would still work if he wound it...most think he's just being a fool, and refuse to believe he is anything but a slum-dog.

Nicolai is funny in a not-funny way (meaning his humor is terrible) and seems a jovial sort, considering the circumstances of humanity. In reality, he can be extremely harsh should the circumstances require it and holds nasty grudges. He's often been quoted "I ain't just stained with soot, you know".

Mech: A zoo class in a way, but closer to a light class. Very simplistic with little to no weaponry attached. It's fast, and that's all he needs it to be. Despite this, he has attached a very unique form of offense; a sort of 'jaw' which can crush through quite a tough target. Aside from this quick-deployment disabling weapon, he rarely fight with his MECH, preferring to bash in skulls personally. At a distance the MECH looks like a small cat-like form, but up close it looks closer to some metallic alien quadruped gone wrong, being a very old and somewhat beat-up MECH.

((okay, is done naow XD lemme know if I need to change anything ))

[Renegade]

All good Yuf', approved.

[Yuffie Kisaragi]

yay~!

[lind00]

Name: Lyon Reaver
Age: 25
Occupation: Traveler/Engineer/Mechanic

Description: Lyon is a kind person that doesn't believe in fighting a war. Still though, he fights to protect other people. When he is fighting he changes into a soldieresque person with fighting until all enemies are defeated.

Lyon stands at 5'11" with black hair that goes in different directions. He has brown eyes and a dark skin fitting with where he was born. He is very muscular and can handle himself in any situation. Normally he wears a black pilot suit, though when he is in a place for an extended time he will wear traditional clothing of his birth place.

Lyon led a life of hardships before he was an apprentice to a mechanic and engineer. The man was an exsoldier that helped Lyon learn how to design MECH's and give maintenance to them. Soon though, Lyon learned how to pilot the MECH and eventually started stockpiling parts and built his own MECH.

Mech:
-Name: FLT-001 Blast
-Armaments: Plasma Sonic Blade x2 (Stored in arms), Plasma Rifle x1 (In right hand when in humanoid form, mounted in front in transformed version), Wrist Mounted Linear Guns x2 (Fire an electrically charged round), Linear Shield x1 (Mounted on left arm, a rod that spins around while creating an electric field nullifying any attacks there).
-Other: The unit is able to transform between a high speed combat form and a humanoid form. The Humanoid one has thin arms and legs and is generally weak in that sense. When it is transformed all the parts fold together leaving the legs out backwards and arms forward with the rifle being in the center. (If you need pictures and can put those.)

If there is anything I need to change, please let me know. You could say I'm new to this kind of rping.

[Renegade]

There is one thing, you did not specify a class of mech. It seems a class of it's own, however I will allow it because you have put plenty of detail into it. Could you post a picture? I'm curious as to what it looks like
Approved. I will que you into the Roleplay as soon as I can, and when I do I will message you. Though if you, reading the roleplay, can offer suggestion that could speed up the process.

[Yuffie Kisaragi]

hey nice, I like the profile this is going to be AWESOME!! ^^
