RP's Overarching Concept: A realistic Mecha combat RP that stresses the cooperation between teammates to survive a deadly war.

Genre/s: Mecha, Military Science Fiction, Cyberpunk, Biopunk.

Character or Faction Based: Character Based

Detailed Description:

So for some backstory. In 2015 a group of Russian, European, and American scientist working with the large Hadron Collidor sucking for new part and concepts to explain theories with quantum-mechanics. However in there endevour they came across two new particles being the AB Partical (named after two scientist Abrkov and Barrnet) and the Vauquelin Partical (typiclly called V Particals) which both have there own unique properties that make them importent to modern canon.

AB partical are nutrually charged Fermionic particles and after years of study features of the element came about. One being that the partials are able from a static position able to exert high abounds of energy and its susceptibility to magnetic forces. V particles are another Fermionic particle and are able to accept and amplify electronic currents almost 500 times its original output. With these revelations AB particles were used in the weapons industry while V particles have been used extensively in energy production.

In the current year of 2046 the world is a mess. The earth has succumbed to political chaos with a near worldwide depression. Over population has lead to the distruction of most resources and about 1/6th of the population has migrated out into Autarkic Orbital Colonies set up just 5 years earlier. Currently the major area of economic stability is Asia as it became of of the major suppliers of food to the world.

Militarily the advancement in Attack and counter attack systems has lead to a revitalization of close quarters combat on multiple fronts. On land however the development of Mechs has changed the way war is fought. The two main military entities being the Pact of Independent Nations (PIN) and the Coalition of Democraric States (CDS). PIN is made up of Russia, Central Asia, Syria, Iran, and China and the CDS being made up of all former NATO nation and there successor states, Austrialia, and Japan.

Mech construction on both sides have been extensive and share many similarities with a V Particles power system being used by both sides but these are were many of the similarities end. PIN mechs are heavier with thicker armour and are usual ether track based or uses basic mechanical legs. They have thick armour and have chosen to focuse of Kinetic weaponry. CDS mechs are lighter and much more human like and use advanced technology to replicate human limbs. They have thin armour to keep up speed and use AB particle based weaponry to combat thick PIN mech armor. CDS mechs are typically called Mobile Assault Units or MAU's and PIN mechs are called Articulated Weaponry Platforms or AWP's, these mechs make up a large part of special assault United but there is also the use of similarly constructed exoskeletons for field soldiers.

Currently the situation RPers will find themself in is that in southern China guerrilla forces are combating Chinese forces in the country side. After a short bout between China and the United States in the Pacific Ocean the U.S. is reeling after loosing near a third of it's sea born fleet. With the insurgency in the area the U.S. and other CDS member states send in soldiers to neatutal Vietnam to "protect vested intrest in the area" but a group of Mech operators and specialist field soldiers are located right on the boarder with China and have both trained insurgents in the area and conducting raids on the Chinese side of the boarder. PIN forces conversely are amassed in the southern area and are tasked with using their mechs to combat Insurgents in the area and while they have never made contact with CDS forces its widely believed by PIN forces that they are in the area.

Typical CDS model 00E "Rouge" Mech
Typical PIN model 13-1CC00 "Peshchernyy Medved' Mech
Advanced Combat ExoSuit (CDS)
Model 008v ExoSuit (PIN]

Need Help With: just trying to see if there would be any intrest for this type of RP. Haven't seen many mech RP's so I'm not sure if it's just not popular here or in just not looking hard enough.

I can help you, my nations army is very Mech oriented so I can provide help. I'll be busy on the forms, but if you request my help I am more then willing. TG me. #mentorhelp.

I've been thinking about an RP taking place in a Latin American-style dictatorship but I haven't a clue of what details I should include! Ideas?

So far I've decided it will take place in a fictional island-nation with an abundance of silver but tensions between English-speakers and Spanish-speakers. Any other ideas?

Did you look at the ideas I suggested?

[Sebastianbourg]

Apart from this idea of mine would you guys be interested in an RP revolving around Pope Alexander VI (perhaps with a different name) and the Catholic Church (perhaps with a different name) at the time?

[Sebastianbourg]

Did you look at the ideas I suggested?

Yes, with the exception of the former government bit.

[Togeria]

I would. What's in it, I really wanna help.

[Togeria]

Did you look at the ideas I suggested?

Yes, with the exception of the former government bit.

Ok, it's a dictatorship right? So do the people know they're oppressed and keep quite or is there rebellion? Is propaganda strong there?

[Sebastianbourg]

Yes, with the exception of the former government bit.

Ok, it's a dictatorship right? So do the people know they're oppressed and keep quite or is there rebellion? Is propaganda strong there?

1. Yes;
2. Yes, but but the English-speakers (referred pejoratively as Anglos by the Spanish-speakers) are more concerned with rebelling against the government and separating than ousting the current government. The Spanish-speakers (referred pejoratively as Quijotes by the English-speakers) while a minority are treated preferentially by the government and therefore don't want to oust it;
3. The government is trying to make everyone forget their background and instead embrace nationalism.

[Sebastianbourg]

I would. What's in it, I really wanna help.

In the Catholic one? Let's go to the chat-thread.

[Togeria]

Ok.

Ok good. I think your just about set, you just need to engrave it stone now.

I might add something similar but the OP draft I have so far is too long to add many things.

[Alleniana]

Hmm, alright. Is the civil war between English and Spanish speakers?

[Sebastianbourg]

Not really, it's something similar to The Troubles in Northern Ireland; it might turn into a civil war though.

Thank you, as far as mechs go I think I've got it down but I'm wondering how realistic the backstory and how the AB particles and V particles are realistic in explaining the use of laser/beam weapons and compact energy sources for said mechs.

[Togeria]

You would have to explain how the world went to hell, and who exactly found AB and V-partials, if they have any uses outside war, and besides that they've made mechs so they have to be pretty advance, so what things do they have that we don't have in our world. #mentorhelp

[Finland SSR]

Would anyone be up for a mixed character-nation RP, set in the Middle Ages? No forced vassalage this time.

[Togeria]

I would. Need any help, and I'm here to give it.

[The Starlight]

Would anyone be up for a mixed character-nation RP, set in the Middle Ages? No forced vassalage this time.

Count me in.

[Finland SSR]

For those who don't know what I mean by "mixed character-nation", it's basically Crusader Kings 2. You play not as a country, but as a person who rules the country.
I tried the concept once. It had potential, but unfortunately it failed because of everyone bin a vassal of the Aztecs.

[Togeria]

I would still play.

[Zeinbrad]

Boredom, Alien and Syndicate have gave me an idea.

Syndicate style Corporate espionage type of story, set in space, no aliens, mega-corporations and lot's of mercenaries and government police officers.

Thoughts?

There's no apostrophe in "lots."
