Eko-senturia: The Europa Saga ((A mech RP. All can join!!))
Posted: Wed Aug 05, 2009 1:54 pm
RP Introduction:
"2 years have passed since that day in snow.. 2 whole years.. It's funny, isn't it? When someone you love dies, time seems to pass so much.. slower than usual..."
"It was a nice day. the sun was shining brightly on the ice fields around the northern colonial base, known only as SYJ-3456.. well.. the sun isn't as bright as I'm told it was when we lived on Earth. We hadn't had much contact with any other bases for around 9 years. It's mostly to do with political problems. One base hates another, we all bark at each other's heels.. we think it would be better under one government e.t.c, but we still got along just fine. *sigh*, if only we'd stopped the digging... Genecite ore is a highly valued substance here.. when we struck it, the other bases heard about it and started tunneling. They couldn't find any, and asked us to share ours..."
"Due to the political problems on Europa, which are always the cause of anything bad that happens, our offer was misinterpreted by the other bases - who wanted everything for themselves - and a war broke out. Due to problems with defense at our base, the city was technically blown off the top of Europa, without any regard to the safety of the citizens that once inhabited that city. However, seeing as I worked in an R&D department hidden in the mountains to the northeast of the base, I managed to avoid death. I regret that to this very day. All that aside, work on our most advanced Reigen yet is almost done! This will be the first Solely Genecite based suit that we have manufactured, and who would've thought that we'd find a base for it hidden around where the Genecite actually was! I wonder if it's a remnant of a past war or something? Either way, the war is still raging, and we can't take 2 steps outside without being spotted by military Hundts. Those things can tear you to shreds in a second.."
"Either way, my task here is done, and you've been informed about the Europan war.. I just hope that you fair better than we've been doing. Maybe we'll have finished our last line of defense by the time you've found this log... anyway, This is Craig Seithr, ending log."

RP briefing, Overview:
The year 29XV, and our story is set on the Moon of Jupiter, known as Europa. The moon is currently at war with itself, and many innnocent lives have ended due to the numerous skirmishes and battles that have taken place as a result of this war. You, as the RPer, will be thrust into this war on one of four sides. The East, The West, The North, or The South.
RP briefing, Mech Types:
there are 4 different types of mecha that you can use in this RP. each one representing one of the four 'sectors' of East, West, South and North:
Reigen: A style of mech produced mainly in the North of Europa. They are often lightweight, and highly manouverable. As a result, they don't have very heavy armor, and usually carry only lightweight Genecite based weaponry. They are designed to fight well in harsh snowstorms, and have onboard tracking and stealth systems to enable them to kill off other mechs almost completely undetected.
Hundt: A style of mech produced mainly in the East of Europa. They are slightly more heavily armored than the Reigen Style mech, but just as agile. They usually operate best in clear weather, and carry no weaponry whatsoever other than Genecite based energy claws, and the occasional back-mouted homing shot. They have onboard 'locking' systems, enabling them to chase a seen target without ever losing sight of them.
Fillus: A style of mech produced mainly in the West of Europa. They are the most heavily armored of all the mech types, and often carry Genecite based energy weaponry. They fight well in all weather types, and are well known for holding positions with little effort, due to their immense difficulty to take down. They are all equipped Night vision, and genecite powered forcefields in order to strengthen their defenses.
Grymon: A style of mech produced mainly in the South of Europa. They are the second most heavily armored, and often used Genecite based close combat weaponry. They fight best on slightly snowy days, and often said to look like knights. Each one is equipped with reinforced 'Soul Tracking', enabling them to target the Genecite core of each mech, thus making the combat between them and other mech types last as little time as possible.
RP Briefing, The 6 'Pre-formed' Mecha
as mentioned in the introduction of the RP, a mecha seeming to date back to before the North base was built was excavated near a large Genecite deposit. There are 3 mecha like this one currently residing withing the ice of Europa, waiting excavation. They are all only slightly larger than the average human, and are powered by human conscience.. The thing that differentiates them from the other mecha, is that they are formed of 'pure' genecite, which seems to have immense elemental properties, as well as spacial properties. No-one knows who manufactured them or for what purpose, but what we are certain of is that their abilities FAR overpower the strength of ANYTHING ever developed on Europa. Mecha which have been excavated like this are reffered to as Neos. The final point about a Neos is that they are re-made in the style of the sector that excavates them. eg, if a Neos were to be Excavated in the East sector, it would be a Neos-Hundt.

4th Excavated Mecha/ Neos-Grymon:
RP Breifing, Genecite ore:
This is the ore used as a core in every single mech created on Europa. It has the ability to provide an unending resource of energy, Regenerate itself if damaged - to a certain limit -, and even cause elemental style attacks to become imbuned with the weaponry they power. There are 4 Types of Genecite. Azure Genecite, Verdant Genecite, Crimson Genecite, and Colorless Genecite. Each type of Genecite carries different effects when used.
Genecite Types:
Azure: Ice
Verdant: Earth
Crimson: Fire
Colorless: Wind
RP Briefing, Pure Genecite Ore:
This Ore is almost in a class of it's own. The only known mecha that can use it are the excavated mecha, or neos, which are sealed underneath the Ice of Europa. Pure Genecite has exactly the same abilities as normal genecite, except for a few extra features. Firstly, it's regeneration time is multiplied by 50 compared to normal genecite, and it gains TOTAL control of it's given element. Secondly, Pure Genecite Ore doesn't grant control over 'normal' elements, it grants control over 'Spacial' elements. Finally, Pure Genecite Ore enables the mech it's used on to use energy attacks that normal mech can't even begin to use.
Pure Genecite Types:
Azure: Time (taken by nobodyknows)
Verdant: Gravity
Crimson: Supernova (taken by Kai)
Colorless: Void
Each neos is formed SOLELY from Pure Genecite ore, which amplifies these effects even further. Some say that each neos also has a 'true form' representing one of the 6 gods of the genesis. Their power is beyond comparison, and some would even suggest that they were made by those gods themselves as messengers to the people of Europa.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Available Roles:
Seeing as some people might choose not to be a Pilot of a given mech, it is also possible that you could play one of the other Roles listed here, or you could have more than one Role!
1) Pilot
2) Scientist
3) Excavator
4) Engineer
5) Civilian
6) Soldier
7) Test Pilot
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rules:
1) No Godmodding. Even the Neos-Type mecha have their limits.
2) No Power Playing without permission. controlling someone's character is fine as long as they've said you can do it.
3) No Cybering. Take it to the IMs if you came here to do that.
4) No killing of characters without permission. The only time I will EVER overlook this rule is if the storyline needs someone to die in order for the plot to advance.
5) Read the First Post! Even if you don't understand it, you can still read it! Ask me if you have any questions about how something works.
6) Stick to the limits you set yourself! If your mech is lightweight, It can't use City destruction lasers! If your mech is Heavy, It can't move at the speed of Sound. The differences between mech types are all there for a reason!
7) Read the Rules! If you came here to RP and didn't even read the rules, how much good will that do?

Name: Thomas Weiss
Age: 17
Role: Test Pilot for the new Neos known as Jackal
Bio: Thomas has lived in the northern colonial base since he was around 10 years old. Ever since he was born on Europa, he had a passion for the mecha that he constantly saw outside his home on guard duty, and decided that he wanted to become a pilot when he grew up. He then spent the rest of his school life preparing himself for the time when he would be able to become a pilot. 2 years after he moved into the northern colonial base, When the time of that base's destruction came, he lost his family, most of his friends, and also his love interest. This made him feel slightly gut-sore, and for the next 3 years after that, he began to wonder why he'd even bothered wishing to be a pilot. However, one year later - a year after his grandfather had adopted him, and taken him into the Central R&D base to the south of the northern colonial base - He happened to stumble upon the mecha known as Jackal. He touched it's armor plating, and instantly, a resonance formed between the two. His grandfather, who had been watching him as he entered the room, instantly knew what had happened, and began preparing Thomas for the time when he would pilot that mech. It has been 2 years since that day, and Thomas is now the test pilot for the Neos of Pure Azure, known as Jackal.
Appearance
Mecha Template:
Name: Jackal, JDR-1000
Type: Neos-Reigen
Genecite Core: Pure Azure
Background: The Jackal was excavated to the East of the Central R&D base in the Northern Sector of Europa. Around it's body there were vast amounts of Pure Azure Genecite, which have now gone into reinforcing and re-creating the Jackal, as well as being used in the construction of a gargantuan battleship known as Eko-Senturia. The Northern Europans see it as a savior of sorts, and have put all of their hopes into it and it's pilot.
Weaponry: it is equipped with a single Genecite burst pistol, capable of rapid fire shots that can take a swarm of Reigen down in half a minute while using only one clip.
Appearance: (temporary appearance)
