Titanium Rhapsody: Sign-up

Huh. Y'know, I was kind of expecting Alienna to be okay her life.

I'm too good to go down like that, so it would have to be you.

I'm staying out of this. Crazy front-line fighters and their crazy machines.

Edit:
Though I could totally imagine a rivalry between Nemesis and Ryan in terms of quality of equipment and importance of role.

Ok well it seems like my foray into the world of RP gming has failed due to what seems like lack of interest. No idea when I will try next but hopefully will go over better. Now to the point of this post. It seems to me that you got all the members needed plus the thread already started, but I was wondering if I could create a character and have him come in during the middle of a battle, or he could originally have been on the enemy side but for some reason or another defects. Though if you feel like there is no need for anymore people I understand.

[Geminex]

Well, we haven't actually started a battle yet, or even begun the briefing. If you make a character, I'm sure you could join us easily.

[rapter200]

Question then, what would be better for the team dynamic a Close Air Support Mech, or a Defense Wall Mech.

[Geminex]

I think both might be pretty awesome...

Though possibly defense wall'd be a bit more usefull, considering all the fragile mechs on our team.

Of course, there is no aerial view of the walker, I'm going to make an assumed guess of at least 3/4 the size of the mech, but since it's a heavy, you would need to account for rocket launchers or any anti-air weapons. Oi, it's just hard thinking for things like that. Take it as you please and tell me what you think.

Imagine a AH-64 Apache.

Now imagine it 150% the original size, and filled with ammo and a powerplant, rather than the second pilot seat.

Cut off the useless tail, and add some legs on the bottom.

Remove all the deafault weaponry, and start puttong Gau-8 Avengers there instead. Do the same with the main rotor, cause a mech won't need it.

In 24h, I shall supply visual aid. I wanted to do it with the post, but I ran out of time to work on it.
Things went down the drain. No visual aid.

[Astral Harmony]

I can't wait until we've pretty much annihilated the enemy military, and then the civilians decide to take up arms against us. Can you imagine what that'll be like?

Name: David (Legion) Gran

Age: 33

Gender: Male

Specialty and Mech Armor Type: Specializes in the use of multiple combat and support drones all synched to a single interactive interface. AKA Legion. Legion is a Heavy Armor Type Mech.

Mech Description: The Legion Prototype is the first of its kind, it can be described as a mother ship. It has a bulbous design (think of a jelly fish), that is covered in drone sockets, where the drones plug in when not in use. Legion uses an advanced propulsion to keep it floating/moving in combat. Its armor is extremely thick, nigh impenetrable in most areas, but it can barely move because of this. Most of the empty space inside is occupied by an extremely advanced AI that allows David the ability to actually control the drones, it is also able to communicate.

The cockpit has a unique design that allows for a 360° view of the battlefield with David in the middle of the sphere. He controls his drones and ships with specially made gloves that interact with the interface, like a mouse does with a computer. Legion contains a powerful scanner that scans 360° all around him for (whatever is an acceptable amount of distance), or he can directly plug into the views from his drones. Most of his drones are combat drones, equipped with twin-linked plasma cannons. Two of his drones are repair drones, able to repair almost anything. All of the drones have a small bomb inside of them that will go off if David decides it necessary The combat drones are small weapons platforms that are agile and fast but individually do not deal a lot of damage, the repair drones are large and heavily armored, able to withstand a lot of firepower so that they can get their jobs done.

Bio: David grew up quite introverted, he didn't like to deal with people and would rather spend all day in doors on his computer playing games. His favorite kinds were RTSs. He had a sort of need for power that he fulfilled through these games. As he aged though he got bored with games, he needed something more. He joined the military at the age of 22 as an officer after going through training. He was an excellent battlefield commander, but only in the fact that he got the mission done. All those that served under him though hated him.

David saw these men as pawns in a grand game of chess. Machines used to get the job done rather than humans with limits and emotions. Eventually this got him discharged from the military due to almost losing his entire battalion when he pushed them past their limits. At the age of thirty two David did not no what he would do with his life, but as luck would have it when he fell he fell right into the lap of a Top Secrete project. Project Legion. He was deemed necessary for the project because he would be the most capable pilot for Legion, the new Mother Ship class Mobile Platform. During the past year he trained with Legion, learning all that he could about the capabilities of the machine, and bonded with the AI, he calls her Addi.

Requests:

Advanced Scanning Suite: Used to create live battlefield imaging.

Advanced AI system: Used to effectively control the drones and to help with the fight through the use of advice. It is a fully sentient AI that works in conjunction with David, it can also be considered the hive mind of the drones. Her name is Addi.

Drones: Eight Combat drones and two repair drones. The combat drones are the 1/5th the size of a Light Mech and equipped with Twin Linked Plasma cannons. They have light armor that doesn't do much to protect them but grants them extreme mobility. The Two repair drones are 1/2 the size of a light mech, other than the bomb inside of them they are unarmed. They have extremely thick armor that is needed for them to survive the repair jobs.

Interactive Battlefield Interface. This allows David control of the drones. It is almost like an RTS except not top down but rather 360° view of battlefield.

Human Interface Device (The Gloves): Needed to directly control the Drones though he could also use Addi to indirectly control the drones as well.

Advanced Propulsion system: Allows Legion to float in one place or to move when need be.

Extremely Heavy Armor and Shield Array: Since Legion doesn't move all that much during combat this is needed to keep it alive.

Sorry about the quick bio, hope this is ok. Every other Character niche I thought up was already taken, I then thought up one that was completely unique and I think no one even thought of.

[Relm Zephyrous]

I thought up that concept as my second idea, but thats only because when anything even remotely comes close to mechanical warfare (Even on the cyborg level at times) A chorus in my head screams "Carrier!". But I'm personally a bit glad that its introduced anyway. Nemesis is glad too, its her best friend Mr. Meat Titanium Shield.

More to the actual point of this post, how big are you and your drones individually? I was really wondering if I could pass as one of them hovering around you. It'd be a great bit of disguise.

Anyway I'll be trying to come up with a list of what we have so far with the format
(Mech: Mech Title: Character: Player: Approved: )

Edited into this post if nobody else has by time its done.
