Yes, Custom Robo. While I know the series isn't as popular as it should be outside of Japan, I decided to have a crack at seeing if it'd make a good RP anyway.
So, the general idea of the Custom Robo series is to pit two robos, each with customisable parts, against each other in an arena called a "holosseum." The robos are controlled by "commanders," through a method called "diving." Anyway, that's the basics for anyone who hasn't heard of it/played it. If you want more information, here's the url for the wikipedia article. My apologies for not remembering how to post links.

In any case, the plot would not be so simple as the one(s) present in the games. At the same time, we wouldn't want something over-complicated. So, here's the pitch.
The RP would take place on an island, hosting the Robo Cup (basically, a tournament for commanders who want to test their skills). Without warning, people start winding up dead - staff, contestants, civillians, everyone. All the wounds seem to be from a robo, the same one at that. But while this is gong on, communications to and from the outside are cut off, and any means of escape seem to just turn right away from the island. But what will you do? Will you try to escape, after building your own craft? Will you find out what's going on, and defeat whoever - or whatever - is causing this? Or will you just run around like a headless chicken?
So, crits please, opinions, etc..
