Mechanized Age (Sign-Up/Discussion Thread 1)

First and foremost: I don't think it'll be an issue but if sign-ups get to an overwhelming number I will limit the number of people who can join because this will -not- be a PvP RP.

Secondly: Title isn't that great I know but I wanted to get started on this and its short and to the point so I'm going with it for now.

A Useful Weapon Breakdown List created by Geminex

Setting: The year is 1999. Our great and noble country is the Democracy of Marieca. Technology has reached previously unheard of levels, especially for war. There is growing concern over the coming year, kept to rumors of course, about the end of the world. A completely baseless belief that technology would entirely fail during the following year. Well at least it started as a rumor.

A new group of fanatics has emerged in the past few months, inciting the discontents and believers that they knew what the coming year held and how to prepare. They are united under someone who's only been known as The Oracle of Machines. We've never seen this oracle, only heard of their charisma, conviction and supposed precognitive powers. The Oracle is being hailed as a savior and is gathering a following faster than anyone predicted. And now the fanatics have taken to the streets, arming themselves from god knows where and even gathering men and women from our own ranks. Everything we've come to build is collapsing into chaos. And that's where you all come in.

Whether bought, voluntary or otherwise recruited, your here to join the 25th Mechanized Brigade. You've no doubt heard of the brigade. It has a reputation for killing off its recruits faster than we can bring them in. We only accept those with potential, those who begin gifted and who end as either corpses or the absolute best. You all know how to pilot your mechs. Now you get a trial by fire. Everyone here is your ally. Someone you must come to trust implicitly with your life. For they will have to save it. Just as you will have to save theirs. We'll supply you with weapons and standard ammo as well as repair facilities and upgrades whenever we can. You supply us with victory. Now get some rest all of you. Your first mission begins tomorrow at 0800.

Name:
Age:
Description: (Height, rough weight, skin color, eye color, hair length and color. A rough idea of how your character holds themselves. Do they sulk and shuffle or keep an arrogant strut, looking all in the eye and waiting for a challenger?)
Backstory: (Post here what you want. If there's something you feel I should know but the others shouldn't PM it to me -at any time- even if its multiple missions in. If your like me you need to see how your character reacts to situations to decide what exactly made them do that.)
Mech Design: Detailed description. I want height, color, design. I'd also accept pictures but they are not necessary, especially if you can't draw.

Statistics and Specialties all down here.

If you have any questions or clarifications ask away. I'll be approving each applicant who meets the requirements up until I feel the group has reached a maximum (not too concerned about that yet).
