Important announcements will go HERE.
Congratulations, ARW Pilot.
You have been selected for a mission of utmost importance. Your talents have drawn the attention of General Xeron, who heads our Space Expedition. As part of this assignment, you are hereby promoted to the ARW Special Forces
Present yourself to the general at 14:00 on Sunday, November 3rd.
Once again, congratulations on this accomplishment, and good luck on your new
Commander Tiryu of the Armored Robotic Warrior Division
"This mission is essential to our future. The space colony Epsilon lost contact with our control center several days ago. The causes are currently unknown, but we believe hostiles of some kind may be on board.
You were chosen because of your respective talents and piloting prowess. Find out what caused the outage, help the people in any way you can, and make sure the colony is secure.
We need you to leave immediately; we've already taken too much time. The ship Ethereal will take off in an hour. We're counting on you."
This was the speech given before you, a mech-pilot for the ARW Division of the military, were sent into space.

This RP has two very large overarching sectors, with many smaller areas contained in each:
The Ethereal: the ship you were sent out on, not only your means of transportation, but your living quarters while on this mission
Epsilon: A human space colony (an extremely large, planet-sized ship, viewed only as a steel orb on the outside) that hides a sinister secret. As time goes on, you will make discoveries that slowly unravel the mystery of the events that took place here. And have to fight for your life on occasion, too. Just because you're inside a mech doesn't mean you're safe. This is where most of the action will take place.
Epsilon may be artificial, but inside the steel it has an atmosphere and environment very similar to Earth's. The planet was created to be as similar to Earth as possible so humans living there could survive just as easily.
Rules:
This may be a horror RP, but don't go over the top.
This is an rp with futuristic technology. Laser, plasma and pure-energy weapons DO exist, and you CAN have them on your mech. They don't reload; you can overheat, however, which is worse in some aspects.
Characters don't have to be all buddy-buddy. There can be rivalries and even hatred.
Follow ALL the site rules.
One-liners will be severely punished. I don't know how yet, but it will.

Important Details:
The Ethereal is a transport ship with very few combat capabilities. The furnishings are comfortable, but not overly lavish. There is living space for each of the six pilots, and enough supplies to last until November 30th (27 days). Fortunately "space food" no longer follows old stereotypes: Ordinary food and drink is now able to be preserved while on board the ship in space.
Complex mech repairs are also to be conducted only on the Ethereal, where there are tools and materials for such things. Emergency repairs may be made in the field with whatever materials you find, but these should only be temporary. If your mech is damaged, it is HIGHLY recommended you return to the Ethereal as soon as possible.
It is HIGHLY recommended that you never leave the Ethereal, and even more importantly, NEVER go into Epsilon unless you are inside your mech. There are many reasons for this, most of them common sense, others revealed as time goes on. If you do go into Epsilon without your mech, you should ALWAYS be armed.
(This doesn't mean you can't do it, but you could attract... unwanted attention by doing so. Bringing some kind of weapon is not required, but it would definitely be a good idea.)
