Story:


You play as a young man or woman, who has just graduated from an academy where you learned how to operate the basic mecha. A mecha is a very large robotic structure similar to remote controll technology. You are plugged into the machine and it's actions are based off of your cerebral activity. All you must do to operate the mecha is think. The average mecha is around one hundred fourty to one hundred eighty feet tall. These gigantic structures have replaced jets, tanks, bombs, all old war technology. The Mecha is more effective against enemies and it does not cause perminant damage to the planet. There are however still, older war machines in production. Once you are plugged into the mecha, you will never leave the machine. You as a human, loose your need to eat sleep and get rid of waste. The mecha is your life support, you will live for the length of time it lives, and you will die when it expires. You are by no means alone. Your only friends are your fellow comrades, who are also linked into their mecha. Communication between pilots of the mecha are completely virtual. Your minds are linked into the same system, and you are able to communicate across any distance.

Civilization is prospering in this age, and technology has reached it's epitome. Most inhabitable planet's in our solar system have been inhabited, and transportation between them only takes a matter of minutes, in some cases hours.

The governments' of the planet are not getting along very well and are constantly getting into conflict. Not just on earth, but all over the milky way. There are also several underground associations that come into play. They are a thorn in the side of the law, pirates, outlaws. The two superpowers of the earth are the United States of America, and Russia. The two nation's have been at war for fourty eight year's. Another superpower is becomeing involved in the war though, North Korea. They have been preparing for the battle since Mecha technology was first developed, and are now systematicly attacking strategic points of America's and Russia's military bases. Weakening their holds on certain areas. With the Mecha, the world is your battle ground. You have no restriction's. The planets that are considered to be at war are Earth, the home of humanity itself, Mars, a desolate waste land where extremely destructive battles are fought to prevent senseless destruction of public property, ( Think of Mars as the Arena ) and Aethos, a newly discovered planet that Russia and the USA are fighting over, because of it's striking similarities of earth. We do not yet know if Korea is fighting in order to gain control over Aethos at this time. Recently, an alien inhabited planet, with very intelligent life has been discovered close to our earth as well. Not much about them is known, however we do know that they do have technology comparable with our mecha, and they also have organic life that is considered dangerous to our military forces. You must fight to conquer the opposing country, and defend our colonies from alien invasion. Use your mecha wisely, they are incredibly expensive and parts are hard to get for them if they become excessively damaged.

You are not restricted to these planets, you can travel the entire omniverse if you wish.

North Korea soon enters the fight full scale, but they are not considered a super power and do not have top of the line Mecha. They are considered an enemy to both Russia, and the USA.

Earth is home to " The Diety " , The Diety is a fabled form of artificial intelligence which controls the aspects of every event in humanity, society, it is the unconditional controller of everything that happens today, tomorrow, it is the brain of planet earth, the processor. Only a hand full of men know of its actuall existance, it is only rumor to everyone else. Every human life is tied to The Diety in some form. Recently, The Diety has malfunctioned, resulting in all AI, everywhere, to go into a rage, berserk status, disorder erupts all over the omniverse, our AI is no longer loyal or trustworthy. It has lost it's grasp on everything. Mankind does not yet know why chaos has broken out everywhere.

Logo description:
A Logo is a small emblem placed on a shoulder of every Mecha, the Logo looks like whatever the operator wishes it to look like, but once the Logo appearance has been decided, it can not be changed. You will become known by the Logo on your Mecha, just as you are known by your face, the Logo is Mecha identification.


You can play as any of these, Must be a nationality of either Russia or the USA. ( NK are the NPC enemies of both sides )

Mecha Type:

Lightweight : Incredibly fast, but very low armor and can deal only minimal damage. Primary transportation is flight, considering its so light that its consumption of fuel is nearly un-noticable. Must return to base for ammunition often. When they run out of ammunition in a fight, they put their weapon back into their core, and the saber blade extends from the left arm of the mecha, which is its primary weapon upon running out of ammunition. The saber of the lightweight mecha is incredibly powerful.

Mediumweight : The most common, has average maneuverability and decent armor, with good damage. Balanced all around basically. The sword on this mecha is only average strength.

Heavyweight : A tank, almost litterally. They move very slowly but can take so much damage the enemy often run's out of ammunition, and must begin combat with the sword. Limited flight time. This type does not have a sword. It must re-fuel frequently.

Overloaded : This type of mecha does not stand up right, but rolls rather like a tank. It is the slowest of all models but it is virtually unstoppable. Can not fly, and must re-fuel frequently. This type does not have a sword. Overloaded Mecha can have everything, they are not restricted. ( This means that they can have back weapons, and shoulder weapons. ) This type of Mecha has no core abilities.

Underground Forces:

The Brotherhood of Steel:
They are thieves and are known to steal mecha right off the production line. They are to be killed upon being spotted. They are not very skilled in operating the mecha, but they have stolen many of each type. The Brotherhood is very common, and are rumored to be everywhere.

Iron Incarnate:
Ruthless and blood thirsty, they are a large terrorist organization and have their own production of mecha however they are not mass produced. They are a threat to the secruity of the super powers on earth, continualy sending small waves of forces into our cities. They only produce Heavyweight and Overloaded type's of mecha.

Rules

1. No double posting.

2. I want you to get creative with your mecha, but if you give it some gun that just seems too godly, you will be required to change it.

3. Read over what your posting before you post it, make sure it makes sense and doesn't consist of total broken english, make sure it is in paragraphs and not just one large clump of text, and DO NOT double space. If it is difficult to read, chances are that no one will bother reading it.

4. No killing anyone elses character, unless you have permission.

If you break any rules your post will be completely ignored.
