    Default [M|OOC] No. 45 -- Slum of Mechs [Reboot]

    Remake of one of my favorite roleplays I made back when I was still active here lol

    ››Warning:: This roleplay may contain the following;
    • Strong language
    • Blood, gore, violence
    • Bad-ass mech suit fighting
    • Alcohol, smoking



    N O . 45
    S L U M O F M E C H S


    YEAR:: 2095 A.R. [AFTER REVOLUTION]

    JUST AS 1980s ENDED, A NEW POWER ROSE. The Steamech Corporation took over the government. They had planned for many years for one of their most intelligent leaders to become president of the United States and hand over power to the Corp. Jonathan Clark was that leader, making it look as if he had no choice but to give the power to Steamech. Other members in countries on America's side were quickly taken over by Steamech, such as Australia, Canada, Mexico, South America, China, Japan, and many others. Soon after, the only countries that did not submit to Steamech rule fled to Antarctica, making it the last free stronghold. These countries are the Koreas, India, Middle Eastern countries, European Union countries, and Scandinavian countries. Steamech has made no advances on the Initia Alliance (IA), as they are named, and they have lived peacefully. Some land has been given to the IA for growing food and other supplies, seeing that their country is still very much barren.

    But, the IA aren't as peaceful as they seem. Lately, in the recesses of Antarctica, the leaders of the Alliance have been planning to rise up against Steamech. Using the same strategy as the Steamech Corp did, they have inserted citizens in all of the Neo Colonies, 1 through 45. Said citizens carry a message, which they pass around and recruit those who believe in the message and want Steamech to fall. Steamech has begun to be suspicious, keeping closer tabs on people who seem more likely to revolt. The laws are becoming more and more strict as suspicion rises.

    In the former United States of America, Steamech has established the Neo Colonies. There are 45 colonies splitting up the continent, the richer colonies on the western coastline and poor colonies on the eastern coastline. Neo Colony 45 (No. 45), the last colony, covers the land area from New York to Maine. It is the poorest of all the colonies, and is known for criminals being thrown in it to keep them out of the richer, nicer colonies.

    No. 45 has a population of over 600,000, 3/4 of it being native. They speak American and Chinese, since the overpopulated China sent many of its people to Neo Colonies. Chinese slang and phrases are commonly used, as well as phrases such as "cousin" referring to a friend or stranger of no relation. Cousin is used very commonly in the streets. Natives are very close to each other, related or not, but will discriminate (not harshly or openly) those being put into No. 45. Besides No. 45, Neo Colony 45 is called "Rez".


    Places::
    • Eastside
    • Westside
    • Xīn Zhōngguó District (On Westside)
    • Train Yard (Main mode of transportation, goes from Westside to Eastside)
    • Housing District (Everyone lives here, Eastside, above Market)
    • Market (On Eastside under Housing District)
    • The Junkyard (On the edge of Eastside)
    • Ender Brawling Arena (Under Train Yard on Westside)
    • Àn Brawling Arena (Under Xīn Zhōngguó District, Westside)
    • Submech Championships Brawling Arena (Biggest arena, under Eastside)
    • Aftermath Brawling Arena (Under Market and Housing District, Eastside)


    [Arenas are usually styled like this, but are underground. Submech can seat 500,000 spectators, Ender seats 350,000, Àn seats 300,000, and Aftermath seats 200,000.]



    EVER SINCE THE BEGINNING OF NEO COLONY 45, THERE HAVE BEEN MECH SUITS. They were generally used as war weapons and police support, but mechanics replicated fighting versions of them and soon after it was a popular sport. Every 25 years, the "Generation" changes, so there have been two complete generations since 1990. This is the third generation.

    • Gen 1:: 1990-2015
    • Gen 2:: 2015-2090
    • Gen 3:: 2090-2165


    Over the years, mech suits have been getting smaller and lighter. They dropped the weapons and guns, with only fists and feet as their weapons. Mech suits still cover the wearer's body completely, and may or may not have a detachable helmet. The lighter the suit, the faster the speed. The heavier the suit, the bigger the blow. Suit example. Keep in mind that this is the poorest colony and the suits won't be flashy and big. To fight, brawlers must be over the legal age of sixteen.


    • Be active. If you do not post at least twice a week, you will be removed from the roleplay. Please contact me or the other GM (whoever is on) if you will not be able to post.
    • No god-modding. Your characters and suits are not invincible, they all have a weakness.
    • No nudity or pornography.
    • Cursing is allowed, but don't go overboard with it. If you are writing in Chinese, please write the phonetic spelling. I.E., I want to right "boy", which is "男孩", but in the roleplay I would write "Nánhái". Also, include a translation spoiler below the post.
    • BE LITERATE. THIS MEANS GOOD GRAMMAR, SPELLING, PUNCTUATION, AND 3+ SENTENCES PER POST.
    • No OOC arguments; If you have a problem, PM me or the other GM.
    • No OOC in the IC. At all. Therefore, frequently check back in the OOC.
    • Whatever the GM says, goes. No questions asked. If you have a suggestion, PM one of us.
    • If you have read down to here, put your favorite movie or TV show in the "Other" section of your character sheet.
    • Do not control other characters or NPCs (such as civilians) and no more than two characters per player.

    Looks like you've got an awesome roleplay started, ARIZONA!! If you would like to advertise for more members, here are some ways to do so!

    First off, there's the Roleplay of the Week. This is displayed on the website's home page as well as on the side bar of the forum. If you think it might help then we implore you to do so! We are always looking for new RP's to advertise. (No, really. We are. Always.) If you would like a little bit more information, or even an example, you can view that here.

    One of the requirements for a RP of the Week submission is that you have a banner. If you're not artistically inclined, however, do not fear! We have several amazing artists on the site who will make one for you. Simply post here.

    Next, you can post in this thread and the staff will display your role-play in their signatures.

    Name::
    Sheyenne Yun Ren
    Fighting Name::
    Yōulíng
    Age::
    18
    Gender::
    Female
    Native?::
    Yes
    Personality::
    Sheyenne is usually light-hearted and caring when she’s not in the ring. She can be cynical, albeit, rude at times, but she usually doesn’t mean it. In the ring, she’s a totally different person. Sheyenne becomes Yōulíng, the relentless and quick fighter. She is somewhat known in Rez, but has yet to fight in Submech like the best brawlers. Sheyenne (or Yōulíng, depends) is smart and a very quick thinker. She enjoys constantly making repairs and modifications to her suit. She is constantly bagged on for being a young girl fighter in a sport that seems more manly. Don't let her innocent look fool you, though.
    Background::
    Born to Dai Ren (father) and Millica Vega(mother), Sheyenne is half Chinese, like most others in No. 45. She has an older brother, Thatcher, who is a brawler like her. In fact, Thatcher taught her and gave her his old suit. She began to compete in fights when she was fifteen, saying she was the legal age. For the first year, she was beat almost every time, but she continuously became better and rarely loses fights anymore. Sheyenne has never had anything really bad happen to her, except her father being pushed accidentally out of the train and dying. Since it’s only her mother, Thatcher, and her, she and her older brother have to help make money in fights. Millica is a seamstress and sells her clothing in the Market.
    Appearance::
    x | x | x
    Suit::
    Suit Strengths::
    It’s small size gives it the speed advantage on heavier, larger mechs. Legal cleats on the soles of the suit’s boots give her kicks a damaging effect.
    Suit Weaknesses::
    Being an old suit, many parts are vulnerable and need repair. Heavy blows can easily damage any parts below the waist.
    Relationship::
    Single

    Fighting mechas? Hell yeah, sign me up.

    Question: how are the mechs controlled? Like, Pacific Rim style, or a bunch of levers and buttons and such?

    @Splat :: They're more the latter; the fighter would be sitting inside controlling the movements but much smaller/less intricate than the Jaegers.

    Here she is! I hope everything is okay Lemme know if you need anything changed.

    Name::
    Kozue Tanaka
    Fighting Name::
    The Tiger
    Age::
    20
    Gender::
    Female
    Native?::
    No
    Personality::
    Kozue is a bit rough around the edges, to put it nicely. She’s quite vulgar in all three languages she speaks (English, Chinese, & Japanese) and isn’t afraid to tell anyone what she’s thinking, however abrasive. Kozue is very loyal, however, especially to her friends in the criminal world. She ain’t no snitch. She is also very competitive. In and out of the ring, winning is everything to her.
    Background::
    Though it doesn't seem like it, Kozue was actually born in one of the more Westerly colonies to Japanese-immigrant parents. Her family wasn't super-rich, but they lived a privileged life that Kozue took for granted. All of that was taken away when her parents were both killed in an accident when she was twelve. Having no one to turn to and nowhere to go, Kozue was forced upon the streets. For a year she had to work around the law in order to afford food and shelter, until she was caught by police. Not knowing what to do with her, as she had no living relatives, they decided to do what they did to most criminals- send her east.
    Kozue was dropped on a train and shipped to Colony No. 45, lost and alone. The thirteen-year-old resorted to crime once again, as many in the colony did, but her small size and nimble fingers got her noticed by one of the many triad syndicates running in the area. They gave her shelter and protection, and she worked jobs for them. For years she did this, and got accustomed to the criminal lifestyle. It was when she was fifteen that she discovered mech fighting. She was enthralled by the display of power and the artistry of the mechs, and she told herself one day she would be the one in the ring. In the year leading up to her sixteenth birthday, Kozue toiled in the junkyard. She didn't know where to get a mech for herself, so she decided that she would just make one using an old frame and whatever other scrap she could find.
    When the day came that she could participate, the eager Kozue immediately became a challenger and finally got the chance to prove herself in the ring. Of course, the first few fights didn't go very well for her, but she didn't let that discourage her. Ever since then she has been training and fighting, building a reputation as a formidable opponent.
    Appearance::
    Suit::
    Suit Strengths::
    The suit's bulky center but thin limbs allow it to be balanced while still somewhat agile.
    Suit Weaknesses::
    Since Kozue built most of it herself and tends to tinker with it, parts have been known to...well, fall off.
    Relationship::
    Single
    Other::
    The Princess Bride is best movie

    Any particular reason all of the characters have to be, to put it nicely, kids? I mean, an underground sport like this is going to attract a huge subset of the population, and I can't imagine the only people in the ring are going to be self-taught technical geniuses under the age of 25.

    Because I had an interesting character thought up, but it wouldn't make sense for him to be less than at least thirty, which I thought would be a nice balance, lend a bit of perspective to the hotheads, before I realized you were actually limiting character age.
