In the year 2164, the world is separated into 5 rival clans. They wage war over territory in an attempt to control the earth’s quickly dwindling natural resources. Battles are fought with high tech battle armor and massive mechs. You are member of Clan Battlehawk, the largest of the clans, and battle is but a few hours away.
That’s right, I’m starting this with a battle. Don’t like it? Tough, I’ve never run a mech RP and I’d like to see how the fighting plays out. I’m also just getting a feel for it. This is my first one and I expect it to fail fairly quickly, but I’ll be back once I figure out what went wrong.
Basic rules apply. No god-moding Use decent grammar No manipulation of other people’s characters Blah blah blah, you know them by now.
Things I am lenient on. Violent acts. Sex, but it can only be slightly more suggestive than at Lavender Eyes. I’m not running a porno here and neither is Elen… or is she…<br>Just kidding, keep it clean folks.
Everyone get to choose what their mech is outfitted with. Be realistic about it too. If your loaded down with weapons, you aren’t going to be running at 60 mph. I’ll give you an idea of the weapons you can use.
Long Range Gauss rifles (like a sniper rifle, very fast.) PPC’s (Slow moving, but homing.) Lasers (Fairly fast and homing) Javelin LRM (Long range missile, homing)
Medium Range Auto cannon (like a shotgun, penetrates armor) Warhammer missiles (Highly explosive, large splash damage, can hurt you too)
Short Range Machine Guns Pulse Lasers Crossbow SRM
Optional Jump Jets
Defensive systems Target Jamming Cloaking Anti-Missile system
You get the idea…<br> Damien walked slowly down the line of mechs, glancing at each one until he got to his own. The garage was filled with mechanics working feverishly to arm the mechs and go over final maintenance before the battle with Clan Blackdeath. His own mechanics were loading ammunition for his Machine guns, Gauss rifles, and Hammer missiles. Once they were done with that, they would test his jump jets and target jamming systems. “How’s it going guys?” One man paused briefly and looked down at Damien. “Everything is in order, sir.” Damien nodded his head and left, walking slowly back through the mech garage and to a lounge where the other pilots gathered before battle.

OOC:Sweet! My guy will be based of the show Gundum wing! if that is ok, I have an expert on them at my school
IC: A man in black was sitting at the cat walk watching Damien, His stark black hair came down to about his shoulders. His left eye had a long scar on it making it unless. Getting up slowly he walk into the lounge, He was new here and many pilots points and whispered about him. He sat at the bar and order a small glass of whisky.

A tall woman followed him, a cigarette hanging from her mouth (Unlit) and a pistol at her side, "Well hello, hello, hello luvs. How are my two favorite pilots?" She laughed, slapped both Damien and the other man on the back and sat down, brushing aside a long strand of blonde hair that had fallen from her bun.

The man in black looked up at her. "what is it you want?" His voice was smooth and dark. He looked her from top to bottom, then went back to his drink. He put a coin on the bar and got up and started to walk away. "I will not be covering anyones butt out there your on your own."

"Always expecting the worst..." Lara shook her head sadly, "I don't need anything, can't I just hang out with my two best friends?" She asked, a blackened lower lip trembling as she adopted enormous doe eyes.

Drath looked back at lara. "I would love to after the fight, I need to get ready." Drath often spent hours getting ready for a fight by just siting in his mech, He gave a slight smiled then started to walk down the hall. He keeped his mech apart from everyones, he though it was better that way.

"Some people take this stuff too seriously. They act like we're going to die out there. Please, the pilots in blackdeath couldn't shoot their way out of a paper bag." He smiled at her and pulled the cigarette at her mouth. He lit it and began smoking it, savoring the smokey taste. "Since when did I become your best friend. I thought I was just a good friend with benefits." He smiled at her, waiting to see her reaction.

OOC- Yea you can make some up, but you probably won't want someting like dual energy swords. Mechs are slow and fairly clumsy at times. In space it would work *hint hint at space battle* but on earth it won't work so much. Other than that, knock yourself out... withing reason.

OOC: ok becuse the only mechs i know are from gundom wing. and they are far from clumsy
[glow=red,2,300]http://www.screensavershot.com/animation/gundam.jpg[/glow] Drath walked up to his mech, It was in the shadows of the cargo bay and was not easly seen, But he knew his mech well enough to get arund with out his eye site. A pullt came down from the cockpit witha little foot rest on the end for you to stand on. It pulled him up and he got in locking the door shut, there he sat and waited for the first ring to go off.

OOC- Oh believe me, I know about Gundam Wing. Its the only Gundam show I liked. I'm doing more along the line of battletech. Look up battletech on google and you'll see what I mean. They're big and clunky.

"We can stop right there." Lara said, taking back her cigarette and giving him a dirty look, "There, you've gotten your nastyness all over it, I don't want your spit in my mouth." She set the thing in her own lips and inhaled deeply, "I was saving this you know."

OOC- Yea, I can let it look like a gundam, and andenergy sword is viable, but your still going to be moving the same as everyone else. Still, they're not a clumsy as I'm making them out to be.
Damien winked at her and pulled his own cigarette out. "You know I just love to mess with you." He lit it and inhaled deeply. "Same as usual? You watch my a** I'll watch yours? We get out alive again."

OOC: *Starts to cheer* your my new best friend! lets get this battle started IC: The warning bell went off, Drath opened his eye and started up his gundam.It's eye lit up and came to life. On the inside over two dozen buttons lit up and two joysticks came in from the side. HE grabed a peice of cloth that was on one of them and pulled back his hair. "this better be a good fight."

"Sounds good though I suspect you'll be watching more than my ass." She commented dryly, "Hey, I gotta get changed, then I want to clean off the plane and fix my Javelin, it's being a bastard again."

OOC- Ah yes, the deathscythe look, but remember, a mech that large is going to be fairly slow.
Damien downed a shot of whiskey and smiled at Lara. "Its about that time." He quickly got up and left the lounge. "Is everything in order?" He said to the head mechanic before he climbed in. "All systems green sir." Damien climbed into the cockpit. After pressing a few switches, the mech shuddered to life and slowly rose into a standing position. With heavy metal blasting loudly and new cigarette lit, he waited for everyone to get to their mechsand the signal to go.

Lara glanced through her checklist, "Love ya babe, now you get me in the air, 'k?" She went through her systems quickly and flipped the almighty switch, taking off, "Told ya I loved ya, now stay up, donn't drop on my now babe, we got a lot of stuff to do." She grabbed a cd and started playing an old song, singing along softly.
"Today is gonna be the day That they're gonna throw it back to you By now you should've somehow Realised what you gotta do I don't believe that anybody Feels the way I do about you now Backbeat the word is on the street That the fire in your heart is out I'm sure you've heard it all before But you never really had a doubt I don't believe that anybody feels The way I do about you now..."

"Lara, switch to Javelins and look for targets on radar." Damien switched to his gauss rifles and scanned the horizon as he jump jetted from point to point. The are was mountainous, so PPCs were to easy to evade by ducking behind something. Gauss rifles were too fast to dodge and javelins would arch over obstacles. Suddenly his crosshairs lit up when they crossed an unnatural objest, so Damien pulled the triggers on his joysticks and two large mettalic slug flew from the gauss rifles on his choulders, leaving the telltale blue streak as they whizzed through the air. They struck the opposing mech, knocking it down and crippling it. "Alright, lets do this!" He quickly finished the wounded scout off and continued to the battle. As they crested a hill top, they saw that skirmishes had already broken out. "This'll be fun Lara, let's see how much damage we can do."

Lara laughed, "'course commandant." She replied, flipping off her speaker and pulling up, "Ok babe, it's just you and me, right?" She wasn't expecting much of an answer from the plane, "Well, let's knock these bastards down right?" She went forward as fast as possible in her heavy vehicle and picked a target, firing and stricking, "Nice job babe! Knew you could do- What in God's name?!?" She spun the plane around just in time to see the massive mech approaching.

OOC: does it have to be fast? Drath gave a smile and pushed a button, Motzart started to play sofly.He was the first to engade his mech and stated the lunch. "lets see if the changes i made, help at all hu sweety." He turned on the team speak. "WE ready to rock and roll boys, and girls" The lunch system picked up and thrusted the gundam up into the air,where it disappeared. THe head unit of the mech was blased away. "Lara, your getting slow"

OOC- No, I killed a scout mech. They're armed with like a laser and a machine gun. You can blow them away easily if you take out the lages, but they can put up a mean fight if they start circling. They fast.
Damien wheeled his mech around and switched to warhammers. A mech had come up behind him and hit him with quad SRMs, but it hadn't had and effect on the large and heavily armored mech. He fired the dual missiles and they flew at the mech, which sidestepped them. Though they didn't strike the mech, the explosion that they made when they detonated right by it did as much damage as if it had struck. Quickly Damien jetted into the air and began firing his quad machine guns on the mech, be fore landing on it and crush the cockpit in the chest.

A group of enemy mechs looked like they were shooting at nothing, there targeting was gone and they could not see what they were shooting at. "man these guys suck!" Drath flicked a button and his duel wrist cannons came flipping out and started to blast away at the knees of the 2 mechs taking then down fairly quickly. "the new cloak system works like a charm!"

"Don't use all you cloaking energy at the beginning of the battle." The quad machine guns mounted on Damien's mech's wrists fired non stop as he worked his way through the crowd of enemy and ally. His master alarm went off and he saw a pair of PPCs flying towards him. Quickly he flick on his target jam and watched as the balls of energy flew by harmlessly "And that is why I like Target jamming over cloaking!" He said happily as he fired a pair of warhammers at the mechs leg and blew it off, leaving the thing face down. "Somebaody take care of him." He said as a few allies blocked his shot. Damien didn't have time to stop. He continued through until he was near Lara and smiled. "You watch mine, I'll wathc yours." He said as he fired his Gauss rifles.

"Thanks sweets." She called, getting her mech as fast as possible and targeting her javelin, "'k babe, you worked for me before, let's get it again." She aimed ad fired, striking not only the mech but the mech driver, "Beautiful babe." She muttered, patting her control console thoughtfully.

OOC- You know, you can have 4 of everything ecpt gauss and warhammers. So you could have 4 javelins, whiare are long range and 4 crossbows 4 short range. You don't just have to have a javelin, bbut you can if you want.

Rogan looked back from on of the forward advance platforms. He sighed. Grounded, for years. Just because of that one collision... Anyways, the mechanic pulled out one of his tools and gave a heavy bolt a quarterturn on a weapons platform, waiting for the battle damaged mechs to return. He idly wondered if they had picked up anything new or interesting from enemy mechs.
OOC: Bear with me, I am trying

OOC: are you on the other team?
A mech de-clocked in the rear on the enemy lines. "Ya see i know what i am doing." A smoke came out of a bunch of holes in the armor and the area was covered in it, metal particles in the mist blocked radio and radar. Shoots came flying out of the mist like mad, and without radio no one knew what was going on inside.

OOC- I think he a mechanic on our side. Nelieve me. Even though you won't died. Its impossible not to take damage of some sort. A stray round will hit you or you'll catch a minor blast from a war hammer. It'll happen somehow.
