Recommended Posts

Live Long and Die Free

Spoiler

 

"Kill 'em all and let Hell sort 'em out!"

Name: Kansuke Akatsuka
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Race: Human

Appearance
Kansuke stands fairly tall, at between 5'11" and 6', but is recorded as being 6' tall for practical reasons. His physique is indicative of someone who trained or was trained prior to joining the Academy, and knew what they were doing. He is slim, muscular, and in excellent physical health. Outside of uniform, he dresses simply, typically with denim and short sleeves. He has short black hair and blue eyes.

Personality

Spoiler

Kansuke's surface personality is best described as loud, abrasive, and arrogant. His confidence and determination are unrelenting, and he has no shortage of pride. He doesn't go out of his way to seek admiration or approval, but is prone to condescending others and talking himself up. To him t's not about what others think, it's  about proving his worth to himself. Kansuke's temper can often derail a social situation: it's common for him to overreact to being teased, and he has quite the mouth on him when it comes to cutting retorts, so it's not common for him to be the one saying "he/she started it!" despite being the one who escalated it. On the flip side, his blunt manner of speaking tends to come off as rude to others, and tends to start fights equally often. The irony of this is all but lost on him, mostly out of apathy. Although he respects the chain of command, Kansuke has difficulty co-operating with equals who have not gained his respect, and prefers to take point himself where possible.

Kansuke is not, however, a simpleton. His intellect is above standard for a young man his age. His observation and comprehension skills test well under pressure, and so long as he's not upset, he can be quite the tactician. His social awareness is lacking for the most part, but he's not incapable of endearing himself to others: Those who befriend Kansuke will find him a font of reassurement, and a very enthusiastic, if rough and aloof companion.

History

Spoiler

Kansuke was raised primarily by his father, a military man who gave up that life to raise his son and daughter following their mother's death. As a result, Kansuke and his sister's upbringing was comparable to boot camp: His father taught them self-discipline, routine, and the meaning of strength. Tough love was the definition of their lifestyle, with an emphasis on tough. Kansuke came to value freedom greatly, as it was something his father rewarded him and his sister  with when they were growing up. Along the way, he got it into his head that he had to contribute to protecting that freedom, just as his father used to. As a result, he decided to join the Mecha Academy. It just made sense to him: his father told him he should follow his heart, and his heart told him to fight. Ultimately, if you asked him what he wanted out of the Academy, he'd sum it up to five words.

"Live long, and die free."

Combat Style
Maximum impact is Kansuke's strategy of choice, and he prefers to use an overwhelming surplus of firepower to defeat an opponent wherever possible, and his mech is designed to do just that. However, he also finds close-quarters combat to be "one hell of a rush" and doesn't mind getting his own hands dirty when the need presents itself.

Skills
Kansuke has exceptional tactical prowess; a working understanding of CQC coupled with a tendency to fight dirty; and an eye for fashion. He can sing, albeit only at a baritone register, and has enough of an understanding of biology, chemistry, and physics to be considered proficient in demolitions outside of simply bombarding an enemy with missiles.

Character Trivia

  • Kansuke's favourite color is pink, specifically magenta.
  • Kansuke's favourite flavor is cherry.
  • Kansuke suffers from aggressive facial tics when angry.
  • Kansuke's 'type' is tomboys.

Mecha Info

Spoiler

HYD-Tyrannos (aka "The Tyrant")
Appearance

Stats and Equipment

Spoiler
  • The Tyrant is designed primarily for mid-range combat, its design focusing mainly on firepower, and performs unexceptionally in other areas.
    • On its right arm, the Tyrant has a mounted twin-barrel repeating cannon designed for medium range combat.
    • On its left arm, the Tyrant has a high-impact railgun, designed to pierce through armor and inflict heavy damage at mid-range. It is also capable of longer ranges, albeit with some loss in impact speed and therefore, damage.
    • On its back, the Tyrant is equipped with four rocket-propelled grenade pods, designed to fire regular explosive and incendiary ammunition.
  • Internally, the Tyrant has been equipped with a cybernetic interface that allows for the pilot to 'see' through the mecha and direct it by way of a virtual control panel.
    • Due to the 'locked head' design of the mech, the pilot can switch between 8 viewpoints distributed between the torso, back, and arms to get various angles or enable them all at once for a 'compound' vision option. The latter is reportedly 'headache-inducing' unless trained and augmented beforehand to handle it.
    • The interface and the implants necessary to operate it also allows the Tyrant and/or its pilot to connect with, monitor, and in some cases operate compatible machinery.
    • Any pilot assigned to operate the Tyrant will be required to undergo connective implant surgery, and training with the cybernetic interface tech before being allowed into the field.

I'm not sure I get how he's "loud and arrogant" but doesn't brag unless provoked. It doesn't seem like that goes together very well.

Also idk how he expects to take point with a slow mech.

Speaking of the mech seems a bit too powerful. A bunch of explosives and super strong armor and can fight at melee? It's kinda a better version of some of the other heavy mechs in this. Maybe take a look at the other mechs and then try and go from there.

Other than that it's looking good.

Edits have been made. I've adjusted Kansuke's personality and redesigned the HYD-Tyrant based on more recent inspiration. Hopefully it's a little more workable.

Most of the app is fine but the thing with the mech is...I'm having serious trouble picturing it and figuring out exactly what it "does".

I was going for an all-rounder, but I guess the design muddles that a little. Should I try one more edit? What can I make that this roster doesn't have already?

I think the main issue is that even for an all-rounder there is too much going on. I'd say focus on just a few things. Since there's like 7 or so different things it's got going on. I'd like to focus down to 3 maaaybe 4 things. Just seems it can do too much and it gets muddled.

Pick a couple weapons and also something unique to it so that it's more focused and not overdone.

THIRD TIME'S A CHARM! I went back to "high-firepower" and stuck with the cybernetics thing as the "something unique."

After I and co-host looked it over I think it'll work. Accepted.

If you want into the discord chat then let me know.

Go ahead and bring your character into IC.

Artemis is typically seen as the quiet yet intelligent and observant type, keeping to herself, and can be quite a tomboy. During a lesson, she does not talk, actually listening, but can get easily distracted by something else, though she is usually able to snap her attention away from the distraction if she realizes it will become a problem. Casually, she loves reading science fiction and horror novels and listening to old Earthen rock music, her favorite singer being Bon Jovi. She typically avoids whoever she can, though if someone walks up to her and talks to her she only replies in short answers out of respect.

She finds combat to be fun and exhilarating, despite not showing it but finds it aggravating when a find extends for a longer period of time than it should in her mind.

1

Her mother worked as a nurse while her father worked as a computer engineer. Her history is not very entertaining as she has done a lot of necessities on her own and has become mostly independent. However, through some of her father's books, she learned physics and mechanics, along with learning how to program and many other technological skills. Because of the fact that her parents were always home late, she attended online schooling and started a job on her own. As such, she drew away from people and only focused on her own work. When she heard of the MechA cademy, she knew she wanted to join, not for the students or her parents, but to actually do something meaningful with the skills she possessed and thought it might lead herself to a better future. 

"People that have the will to put meaning in their lives must do so. You are responsible for your own future."

Combat Style

Artemis prefers to have the mental and quicker advantage in a fight, maneuvering from attacks and countering with another one. This usually means using CQC methods on her opponents, aiming for whatever weak points she could spot if there were any. Her main goal is to finish a fight quickly and move on.
Skills

The girl is very observant, with 20/10 vision and a calculative mind. She has extensive knowledge of math, physics, programming, and mechanics from study and practice. Her observation skills also give her a higher reaction time than the average person, which can be extremely useful in life-or-death situations. 

Trivia

  • Her favorite treat is homemade chocolate chip cookies.
  • Her favorite color is blue.
  • She is demisexual.
  • She has a slight fear of heights.

MechA APPEARANCE

main-qimg-67e92c37856096de46b73e3651fc63

A large mech with a light frame and silver paint job. The pilot is located at the front of the wide torse of the mech. Its arms are thin, the right is equipped with two rotating machine guns and the left with a curved, blunt attachment with an extending blade hidden underneath.

The Chariot is equipped for light, close-quarters combat, with heavy hydraulics and a light frame for quicker movement. The trade-off of this lighter frame is that the armor is lighter, meaning it can be damaged easier than most mechs, making it ideal for stealth and scouting missions.

Equipped on the Chariot is a dual rotary ballistic machine gun, which fires at 28 rounds per second per gun. Each gun fires 25mm rounds and has an extensive ammunition count. On the other side is a blunt weapon, which is slower but can be used to take down heavier mechs. Under the blunt weapon is a large blade, which is about 20 feet in length and is curved like an Earthen machete. Mainly used for slicing, it cannot easily pierce dexterous enemies but will slice through lighter armor with ease.

The pilot's section is equipped with a HUD that gives a readout of an another mech's weapon signatures and full design, along with a readout of her power supply, ammunition, and any damage her mech has received. She is also able to activate full vision, which allows her to see a full readout of 360 degrees around her, activated by cameras located on the head of the mech. The controls are activated through motion, allowing for an eased movement like a human being.

Located on the top of the mech is a power core, using less power since the mech is lighter to control and has fewer functions than most. Like other models, the core can be ejected, however, if done, the mech suit will immediately power down and the pilot will be forced to leave the suit and continue on foot.

tbh I'm unsure how to review this one. There's not much to it. For instance the personality seems to say one thing and then either trivialize or straight up run counter to what was said just before. So all I'm getting is a sorta...blank slate.

Part of app making to me is determining if I can trust someone in the RP. To see if they are able to communicate things and follow instructions and so on. Especially important given how shaky consistency in this RP is specifically.

I'll do my best to fulfill that. Anyways, is that better?

      The Korova region, being much less tourist friendly than other regions, isn't one that many people travel to in this day and age. It wasn't prepared to take in visitors with much pomp and circumstances. It did however have one thing going for it when it came to visitors from other regions and that was New Point Landing.
      Located at the western edge of an island, which was itself to the west of the mainland, New Point Landing was the main place for visitors coming into the region and it, at least, had a dock that ships could stop at to drop of passengers which was more than can be said about most of the rest of the region.
      Once upon a time the city was the place to go for trading and shopping. These days it has fallen far from its high point and many of the stores are closed and boarded up. Awaiting a day that the region was more prosperous. Many of the remaining stores were family-run and managed by stubborn folk who refused to let the city fall completely off of its original purpose. There existed a singular, larger, department store where the rare visitors were able to get most necessities for their travels.
      The ship that was currently coming into the dock was different than most that the city would usually see. It resembled a cruise ship more than anything else and instead of supplies from other regions it instead was full of trainers.
      Unbeknownst to the people of the city, nor truly the trainers themselves, these passengers included those who would be much more precious to the region than any other cargo. For these trainers were destined to take part in a struggle that would determine the fate of the entire region.
      Pokemon trainers from across the world all coming here with the purpose of taking on the Pokemon League challenge and becoming the Champion that the region has been lacking for many long years.
       
       
      Anneliese looked out at the city that approached. Her eyes were shining with excitement as she watched the city, much different than Sunnyshore City back home, came closer and closer. "My goodness Leopold, how do you think the ship knows when to stop without any eyes?" She asked the small, lion-cub-like, Shinx that was currently standing next to her and watching with great concern as she leaned over the edge of the railing with no regard to her own safety.
      The Pokemon had no answer for her. He didn't have any more knowledge than she did about ships and he wouldn't be able to bring himself to correct her if he did.
      This didn't stop the girl from continuing her dialogue with the small creature. "Oh look over there, that's Goldeen right? My goodness there's so many of them. Leopold do you see them right there?" She leaned over the edge to point out the Pokemon swimming along the side of the boat. In doing so she went too far and very nearly tumbled off the edge.
      Only stopped by Leopold biting the bottom of her dress and pulling the girl backwards. She stumbled but managed to avoid falling as she looked down at Leopold. "Oh, what's wrong?" She asked, oblivious to how she had almost fell into the water. "Did you want something to eat?"
      Leopold shook his head and wondered where the other humans that he had gathered to keep an eye on her were. He could do most of it himself but when Anneliese was this excited sometimes it could get...difficult. When the captain had informed them they would be required to set off in groups of three, for safety reasons, Leopold at first blanched at the idea of trusting strangers to accompany his trainer but he realized that it was something he'd have to accept. As long as they kept Anneliese safe and happy, of course.
      ---
      As the ship docked everyone would be helped off of it by the crew. They were greeted by a tall middle-aged, man with mutton chops of such grandeur that they were nearly indistinguishable from a full beard. "Hello, and welcome...to Korova! I got word of your arrival and sallied forth to greet you! I am the dockmaster here, and I wish to be the first to welcome you all to my fair city, the jewel of this region, in my eyes at least, New Point Landing. I'm sure you'll find it accommodating to your needs...You may not even want to leave, gwahahahaha!"
      "Oh what a delightful man!" Anneliese said as she smiled brightly at him. She wanted to stop and chat with the pleasant man some more but another part of her wished to hurry off to begin her adventure.
      It was then she remembered that she had teammates with her and so she turned to the two of them with an even bigger smile, "So, where shall we start?"

      And so it begins anew once again
      The Korova Region. A more untamed region than most in the world; it was always a place of great interest to strong trainers. With its vast wilderness and general lack of contact with the other regions it was perfect for trainers to grow and learn about themselves. However in the recent years it has grown more restless. The Champion had vanished without a trace and a group of criminals, Team Phoenix, have become more active. The Pokemon League decided that they needed a new Champion to help bring peace of mind to the people of the region. Thus they sent out invitations far and wide to try and gather trainers, and bring them to the region free of charge, to take on their Pokemon League challenge.
      You are one of a group who, for one reason or another, decided to come to this land for the great opportunity of becoming the region's new Champion. Some goals may differ but one thing is certain: the trainers who come to Korova are destined to change it forever.
