Fandom Zoids [Sandbox-ish Mech RP]

[Shura]

Alright! So I have a history and plot for the RP so far. For those who want to start formulating character ideas and backgrounds here is the history for the world.

Spoiler

​

Welcome

Note* No prior knowledge will be necessary to participate in, important information will be explained. This RP will take place in the world of Zi (Check maps/gallery for pictures). It will be centered around the world but not necessarily the events of the series. The events will most closely relate to the Zoids: Genesis series in theme and enemy but not much else.


Setting and Story

​

A country divided in two not only by a mountain ridge but also by two nations, to the east is Solia a nation mix of both Zodians and Humans. Solia suffered more during war times but has managed to recover from the hardships and gain strength once more. To the west would be the more industrial country under the control of the Oxerian Empire. The side which started the war and continues to provoke and antagonize Solia despite there being a non-aggression treaty in place. A tense peace stood for over 50 years with Solia expecting and preparing for another take over attempted by Oxeria.


Strangely enough the western nation pulled back their forces around the year 3046 however with the absence of the border troops came a wave of mysterious disappearances from the towns along it. An investigation was started which lasted for two years, more and more people disappeared until finally the culprits were caught in the act. Sadly the truth of what had been going on was far worse than anticipated as it was revealed that the people who were captured were taken and forced into merging a new breed of mech called Bio Zoids.


The discovery of this restarted the war between the two countries. Solia defended its borders against the main forces managing to push back the enemy due to having a stronger and larger force. Unknown to the military and public spies were still among the populace. Raides started to occur where entire towns went missing. Panic and mistrust started to rise as people questioned whether there was a spy with in their town or not.


Present Day : Where You Come In

The war has been raging for a full 5 years. Solia has the most casualties due to the numerous raids which reduced thriving towns into deserted shells. The Oxerian have made no advancement however the slow increase in troops is starting to prove taxing and the front line is weakening. All soldiers active, reserved and retired have been called into action. Mercenaries have been hired in as extra fire power in order to help defend the country.


Everyone will be stationed at at base in Delpoi (The red circle on the map). It is the second line of defence from the central passage through the mountain. The over 50 miles away near the base of the mountain, still holding strong but reports have proven to be worrisome as of late. Additional forces have been added to the base in anticipation of a possible assault.

Before you ask all pilots will be on the side of Solia. If you wish to play a spy, or have something going on with your character feel free to PM me.

 

[CloudyBlueDay]

You guys will have to bear with me asking a bajillion questions/being a little slow, I've only been in one mech RP so far and that one only just begun, but I shall try my best. ^^

 

[Shura]

@CloudyBlueDay: No worries! The Rp is going to be rated casual so it's okay if you're not 100% proficient in writing mechs or combat. So ask away!

 

[WritingMan]

Is there still spots available? I've been looking for a second RP to branch into and I've enjoyed your writing in the Other Side immensly. I'm not familiar with the anime, but it seems like it shouldn't be too hard to get a handle on it.

 

[Shura]

Yes the RP is still open for people to join in. Everything will be explained and there is also a Wiki which is very helpful.


^^ Thank you. I'm glad you're enjoying it so far.

Alcesi A. Elkin

61 years old​

Physical Appearance

Standing at a slightly impaired height of 5'10", Alcesi has broad shoulders and a rather developed and muscled chest from his years on the field and combat training. His body doing quite well during its test of time, Alcesi does not have the strongest physique due to his weakened infrastructure, but he still has a rather healthy body for his age, and it can certainly be advantageous in a battle. His eyes filled with acute curiosity, looking at the tiniest things, Alcesi is always seen wearing his glasses, and without them his eyesight is terrible, his already poor eyesight from his younger years. He has a full beard that connects to his hair that is thick with the gray of his age, the wrinkle lines spread around his face supporting and cementing the fact that he is one of the more elderly members of the Zoidians.


He usually wears a casual business undershirt that can usually be seen to be covered with coffee stains from mistakes around the hours of 3 Am. With a habit of staying up, feverishly working on assignments, Alcesi has a rather exhausted look on his face, especially when handed more paperwork.


Personality Strengths

With the wisdom of his years backing his words and actions, as well as the stories when in a bad time, Alcesi has seen the world in some of its darker moments, and has come to the point where he no longer finds use in getting angry. Irritated at times, certainly, but Alcesi always keeps his head as he goes into tense situations, and his inquisitive nature often rises to discoveries of where information did not co-align. With a very healthy work ethic, almost to the point of obsession, Alcesi is willing to work as much as he has to, to get things done, and is willing to use any amount of coffee he has, to get it done. Dedicated to the cause, Alcesi is determined to give his life to keep it alive, and impart his information to them to make sure their victories may grow.


Personality Weaknesses

Alcesi, due to his age, is rather cynical of certain things in life, such as love, his wisdom of the world sometimes coming in accompanied with a darker shade of views that can sometimes affect his decision when it comes to an important choice. Due to the age gap between him and some of the other members near his rank, Acesi sometimes feels alienated, and he bitterly resigns himself to one day being forcefully retired and being given a "comfy" pencil pusher job. Resigned in life, it has been many years since Alcesi has felt passionate about anything other than the cause, but he has no will to care. The years of his past weigh heavily upon his shoulders.


He also has a rather weak body, giving him a disadvantage with others with firmer grips onto their youth. Having limitations on his stamina, and other crucial parts of his system, including his heart and his overall immune system, Alcesi is much more susceptible to disease and airborne toxins, his lungs already having a history with them, resulting in him usually carrying a handkerchief for coughing.


Biography

Being born to a family of leeches, Alcesi never fit in with his exhaustingly selfish parents. His passionate emotions keeping him from just up and quitting and spending his life away like his parents had, Alcesi went through school with the gold medal in his eyes. He drew people near him, his kind and friendly attitude towards life, as well as his determination to reach his goals inciting favorable unrest among his circle. They supported him in his tasks, and he, in return, helped them with many of their own dreams. Wanting to become a writer, Alcesi was grateful that his friend supported him in the times his family did not, and he dreamt of the day that he would right the words that would affect the country, his mark forever being made in the land.


<p><a href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2015_01/Alcasi.png.2633368a903bd425f1eb13b6adae14db.png" class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image"><img data-fileid="39696" src="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2015_01/Alcasi.png.2633368a903bd425f1eb13b6adae14db.png" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt=""></a></p>

However, Alcesi grew up in a tense time full of the threat of war, and grew up to be one of the many youngs adults who thought the best thing to do to protect their country from any threats, was to go to into the army. Alcesi, along with his friends who shared his belief, were all very willing to give their lives to the cause, and had to no trouble with forsaking their normal futures for the chance at being the difference that kept their country safe. His friends getting in with no problem, Alcesi despaired as realized that he was kept from the field due to his eyesight, his need for glasses to big of a threat for the army to accept. Instead, Alcesi was given a pencil pusher job where he decided that he would continue to support the troops in anyway he could. Sending them donations of rations of food, entertainment, and all around needed things, Alcesi could never fill the hole he had in his heart. He began to write letters to the men who spent their times preparing for war, notes of encouragement, respect, and gratitude, things that he could never give enough of.


He, however, did not shirk on his work, his loads of assignments being completed in record time, and the board of commissioners at the time did not let this activity go unnoticed. They bumped him up, a few promotions here, a few raises there, and they finally let him into a position of adequate power that dealt with information gathering. By special recommendation, he was even given an honorary Zoid, one that has seen very few actual battles, but has helped with Alcesi's travels as his body continued to wear down from age. Alcesi felt a large piece of himself die the day he received word of how his buddies, the confident men who had laid their lives down for the continued peace, were used to power up horrible perversions of their Zoids. This was just one of the many things that made his flame begin to steadily wane over the years, and with the help of the war, Alcesi has grown worn and withered in spirit and age. However, he looks for the day that he can finally breath in air that is free of the fumes of war and is filled with the happy cries of his people.

[WritingMan]

How are zoids controlled? Are the pilots directly in the mechs or watching from the side, akin to something like Pokemon battles?

 

[Shura]

@WritingMan Piloted Directly like most mechs.

Character Name: Shay Lorens

​

Age: 23


Description of physical appearance:


Standing at 5'8 and weighing a total of 155 pounds, Shay is not exactly a staple of masculinity. However, his size makes him quite agile. Blue hues are complimentary of the platinum blonde hair on the top of his head. Generally speaking, he keeps in very good hygiene - including nice, white teeth.


Personality:


Often polite and respectful, Shay is generally a risk-taker. He does not display a strong desire to succeed at all, making his true motivations somewhat hazy. For the most part, the young man is pretty well self-controlled. He is generally trusting of people, and encourages greatness from those around him. He is honest for the most part, but has absolutely no problem lying for personal gain. On that same note, Shay is not the type of person who is sympathetic, logical or altruistic. He has his own reasonings for his behavior. Emotionally speaking, Shay is extremely stable and optimistic for the most part, with a primarily observant nature.


Strengths (4):

• Sociable.
  
• Knows multiple languages.
  
• Is a stupendous pilot for someone who is 'devout of a name' (unknown by the community).
  
• Calm and collected at all times.
  

Weaknesses (4):

• No time to waste. Impatient.
  
• Recklessly impulsive.
  
• Forgetful.
  
• Refuses to divulge information about himself to others.
  

Biography (5+ lines. If you want the bio to be established within the RP, put "TBE"):

At the age of ten, Shay murdered his own father after he came home from a night of drinking and physically assaulted his mother. Shay's mother committed suicide three days later. Shay moved in with his aunt and his cousin. Witnessing an event involving his cousin beaten to the brink of death by police has left Shay rather distrustful of authority. His cousin sued the officers and won. The two ex-cops, who were eventually laid off, murdered Shay's aunt in a home invasion. Originally they were looking for his cousin, who was out of town; Shay was with him. After finding out who was responsible, Shay's cousin then murdered the two ex-officers and was put behind bars for life. Shay was left without family members at the age of thirteen.


After he was caught stealing by the owner of a convenience store, the man adopted Shay as his own child. He was a terminally-ill monk. The two got close, but by the time Shay was seventeen, the man died. He left everything behind in Shay's name, including the Mugen Liger. Shay's source of income comes from the convenience shop (which is currently being ran full-time by a friend of the monk's. Shay promised to share the entire worth of the store halfway down the middle if he did all of the hard work and deposited half of the shares into an account for Shay once a week. Sometime before the death of the monk and after his adoption, Shay had a child who would have been aged five in present times, but he has not seen her since her birth. Both she and the birthmother are presumed dead. Shay's 'inconsiderate' behavior led to the initial break-up. Shay has been a drifter since he received his Zoid.

[GeneralZod]

Character Name: Hayden Senayh


Age: 24


Description of physical appearance: Hayden stands at 6'1" tall with a slim build. He does a poor job shaving as it leaves a very distinct outline of what could be a beard . He has a few scars on his arms and face from metal debris reaching inside the cockpit and scratching him. His eye color is brown but his naturally blonde hair is always dyed silver.


Personality: Out of all the things that Hayden is he is not a Good liar or a hard worker. He prefers to avoid work when he can and is one of the worst liars imaginable due to this he is known for being honest with people even if it means hurting their feelings or angering them. He prides himself on being a smartass and an excellent pick pocket, while he refused to steal identification or legal documents he did steal small amounts of money. He has a dislike of the military and tends to desrespect authority. When he is behind the cockpit of his zoid his personality changes very little as he takes any cheap shot he can get and cares very little for 'battle strategy'. Despite his lack of forethought he works well with his zoid and considers it a friend, even if it is 24 ton Barigator that can bite through solid objects effortlessly.


Biography: Growing up in the Oxeria Empire was rough, not for Hayden but for his parents, the constant disappearances and unease amongst citizens made Hayden's parents feel forced to send their son to Solia. Unluckily for his parents they were unable to move to Solia as well, so instead Hayden had been sent to live with his uncle Jessie who had already been living there. Even though his uncle was a part of the family and willing to accept him into his home his uncle was far from a good guardian. Jessie had always put the military first and Hayden second often times forcing Hayden to do everything himself, from cooking dinner to walking to and from school. At the Age of 16 he began to pick pocket from anyone usually practicing on people his age with the only one to have caught him being Shay Lorens, after returning the stolen money they had quickly shared thievery tactics and formed an odd friendship.


When Hayden reached the age of 18 he had dropped out of school and began to let the apartment fall into a state of disrepair as he managed to pick pocket just enough money for food as his uncle paid for the apartment. At the age of 22 his uncle had been killed in the war leaving nothing but a small amount of cash and his Barigator to Hayden as the rest of his possesions had been passed along to his 'war buddies'. Within a year the debts stacked up and Hayden found himself homeless and keeps close to his friend Shay.

[CloudyBlueDay]

Rylie "Race" Freyhem


THIS IS A WIP!

Oh, lord. Just get out of my face, would you? Rylie

​

Character Name: Rylie "Race" Freyhem


Age: 22


Height: 5'9"


Weight: 110 lbs


Nicknames: Race, Monster, Sour Face.. oh, lots of things.

Description of Physical Appearance

Rylie usually has the same expression on her face: a frown. She's very impatient and quite the angry woman, and it really shows. Rylie has long and sleek dirty blonde hair that goes past her shoulder and dark amber eyes. Usually she keeps her hair down but when she needs to get focused she puts it up, so Rylie always has a hair ribbon on her. Her usual attire is a t-shirt and jeans or a tank top. There's nothing truly special or stunning about her, really, but she enjoys that, because when people look at her they think that she's harmless and uses that to her advantage when she kicks their butt.




Personality

Rylie didn't earn the nickname 'Race' for no reason. She's more competitive than you can even imagine, and she will win whatever competition there is and crush any challenge. Although she might look like it, Rylie doesn't play dirty. "If I win, I win." She always likes to say. Rylie, as stated before, is quite impatient and rather tomboyish. She is basically the definition of rough and tough and won't let anyone push her around. Rylie does what she wants, when she wants, and will fight someone if they get in her way. She's isn't very trusting in the beginning but if you win her over (aka beat her at something) she will look at you with respect. Or just consider you a lifelong enemy. Depends.

Strengths

Rylie is tough. Really, really tough. She's not afraid to fight for what she believes in (really, she's not) and knows how to use her girly image to her advantage.
​

• Strong
  
• Clever
  
• Quick
  
• Cunning
  

Weaknesses

Rylie is stubborn, always angry, impatient, and not at all the best listener. She think's she's the best and won't let anyone block her path.
​

• Impatient
  
• Stubborn
  
• Prideful
  
• Sarcastic
  

Backstory

Rylie's parents were quiet people, not very good at combat or anything of the sort. They owned a small grocery store in Solia and wanted nothing more than a simple life with their daughter. But when Rylie was born, she didn't exactly help that dream come true. She was a fighter from the beginning, getting into trouble every second, beating up others, vandalizing property, you name it, it's probably on her record. Rylie participated in every race and competition and crushed every person in her path. She bullied classmates and was feared throughout the entire school. Her anger and temper scared the heck out of her parents, and they ended up disowning her.


[insert a thing that I'm working on here]


Well, you know by now that Rylie very much enjoyed competitions. So when a friend of hers made a bet, whoever won a race around the block won her friend's Beserker Fury. You can guess what happened. Not only did Rylie walk away with a Beserker Fury, she walked away with a new title, Race. Later on, Rylie ended up getting a job as a transport guard to support herself and after lots of work she earned a position in the army.





(I'm not sure if this one's allowed or not. Don'tkillmeplz;-

Zoid: Beserker Fury


Type: Tyrannosaurus


Weight and height: 127 tons


Maximum speed: 340 km/h


Weapons: Buster Claw (2), Electron Fang, Strike Claw (2), Strike Smash Tail, Strike Laser Claw (2), Charged Particle Cannon, AZ 185mm Beam Cannon

Awesome. Will add the stuff when I get home.

 

[CloudyBlueDay]

I am so bad at picking a Zoid lol, probably going to change it like fifteen times. |D

 

[Brax]

that's original.

 

[Syrena]

I suppose I better claim the Shadow Fox. Just in case. And I'll work on a character sheet later this evening!


@CloudyBlueDay xD ! I had a bunch of Zoid model pages open yesterday... And I only just now narrowed it down because all my favorite choices aren't allowed. O.o ;;

 

[Brax]

shadow fox is taken by shura, @Syrena. just a heads up!


similar zoids are allowed though. so feel free to pick another fox.

 

[Syrena]

Thanks for letting me know, @Tree!

 

[Shura]

Thanks tree forgot to say that. I did say people can have similar zoids. If you don't want to use the exact same zoids lightning syxe is a good stealth mech as well.

[Syrena]

Let me think on it.


So far everyone has different Zoids, and I kind of don't want to be the person who ruins the variety.


Edit: Screw it! Totally claim it. I'm not going back to the madness that is a billion tabs of Zoids. xD .
