It is the year 2050. A war has broken out between two sides: The east, made up of North america, South america, Canada, and eastern Europe; and the West, made up of western Europe and Asia. You are a soldier, recently joined into the army of your choice (East or West). Suit up, and fight!

If you're interested, just post a Character Sheet.

Hmm, sounds interesting. However can I get some more info on the two factions before I make a character? Also, is this mainly going to be combat?

Name: Vasily Kovylcek

Faction: East

Age: 26

Armor: Soldier

Weapon: Pancor Jackhammer (Shotgun), .44 Magnum pistol.

Bio: Born and raised in Kyiv, he was a survivor of the Siege of Kyiv, a 2-month long battle in the city between the East and West. Forced into combat due to the mandatory draft instituted during the dire situation, Vasily decided to make the most of it. Allowed to chose his own weapons, he got his hands on the Jackhammer, and has since accumulated a kill-count of over 300. Currently deployed in Egypt, as one of the initial troop battalions deployed there.

Not exactly. Combat is goint to be a part of it, yes, but the players will be able to negotiate with the other side. Basically, each side is trying to "Convince" the other to surrender, whether by force or by reason. Two choices, basically: Patton or Ghandi?

About the factions: the East is a patriotic, democratic group, fighting to make sure the West doesn't invade, which they have threatened to do. The West, on the other hand, is a monarchal society who belive that everyone must be equal, and no one can get too much power but the King. Neither side can really claim the moral high ground, but that's the fun of RP's, right?

Alright, I'm in. I'll try get a character made for tomorrow.

Edit: Forget that, I'm faster than I thought.

Is playing a merc okay?

Character Sheet

Is playing a merc okay?

Absolutely fine. And just a correction: the armor is called Bersark, not beserker. Bersarks were what the Berserkers wore on their backs. Also, the Bersark armor isn't a mech, simply a heavy battlesuit. A single Gauss cannon is fine, and the shoulder mounted Launcher is okay. Just not two GC's.

I included a brief appearance to make things easier. Unfortunately, the bio is shorter then I would have liked, but oh well.

Edited, because I disliked some of my original decisions.

Absolutely fine. And just a correction: the armor is called Bersark, not beserker. Bersarks were what the Berserkers wore on their backs. Also, the Bersark armor isn't a mech, simply a heavy battlesuit. A single Mingun is fine, and the shoulder mounted Launcher is okay. Just not two MG's.

There goes my poor reading skills again. I'll correct the name but, to clarify, I'm not using miniguns. Gauss rifles are high powered magnetically propelled bullets (at least according to Fallout, shells in Mechwarrior but, like you said, that's too big for this). They are usually long range and slow firing. So would I be able to wield one or two of those?

Yes. But notice my correction...

Ah, I think I see what you mean. Sorry, when I think of power armour I always think of Mechwarrior 2 (which is more a small mech than what we're using). Editing now.

I hope that's OK, I haven't done this kind of thing before...

Woo! 600th post.

save me a spot, i gotta sleep now. I'll post in the morning!

-insert words here-

Wait, are you actually a character in this, or is your sheet just an example?

I'd assumed you were playing as well, but it's a little puzzling with you not having listed yourself as an active player.

Oh, sorry. I am indeed an active player.

How's this?

hey can I hold a spot? I don't know when I will be able to fill 1 out, and I would like know a bit more about the RP(like backstory perhaps? and what part of the world will this be based in?)

It is the year 2050. A war has broken out between two sides: The east, made up of North america, South america, Canada, and eastern Europe; and the West, made up of western Europe and Asia. You are a soldier, recently joined into the army of your choice (East or West). Suit up, and fight!

You realise Canada is part of North America right? And also, where does africa fall into this party?

edit:changed to the west, i figured that the teams were uneven.
EDIT AGAIN!:Nerfed the armor a bit

Alright I have a minute here is my character sheet:

Name: Isaac

Faction: East(Canadian bitchez)

Age: 21

Armor: Scout
R.E.M's: Advanced reflexes, optical targetting implant, improved stealth functions(I'm more stealthy than the average human)

Weapon:Assult rifle that shoots(what else?) shurikens and lightning, 25 Shuriken clip, 500 shot battery; standard issue handgun (Hopefully this isnt too heavy, if there is a problem tell me)

Bio: Isaac had just turned 21 when war broke out. Quickly conscripted, Isaac found that he prefered the nimble and stealthy scout suits over the more heavy armors. Isaac didn't liek military life, but he knew that if the west didn't defeat the east, his way of life would be lost. Remembering his girlfriend and his old life, he set out for war, fully aware he might not come back.

OP: Shouldn't the America's/west Europe be the west?

I might join in, however, I think ill just lurk for now

Yeah, and what about Antarctica? Penguins can fight too ya know.

Ummm... I hope this RP gets a bit bigger, 'cos at the moment, I'm the lone soldier of the Western faction. (Imma get annihilated!!!)

Reserve!
I assume that requests for custom armor should be made through PM, yes?

MrBacon:

That's why I got fed up and left. People kept picking the east, and making overpowered custom armors, so I figured that I wasn't going to put up with that.

If some more people join the west, and the custom armors are removed, then I'll rejoin and help you, but otherwise, sorry.

Africa is a contested territory. Also, since no one lives in Antarctiaca, both sides use it for weapon testing.

i switched to the west, we need more western troopers!

I'll switch sides to the West. However that does only make it about 3-6 and some of the armours are still overpowered (although none of those have yet been accepted).

Well, being outnumbered wasn't the major problem. It was the armors that really grated across my nerves, and being outnumbered by overpowered armors was just to much for me to put up with.

If the armors go now, I'll be happy to rejoin.

I'm beginning to feel the same way. I may have to step out if people keep adding ridiculous armour mods. I had wanted kinetically charged cloak, but thought that might be a bit... overpowered. And then I see some of the things other people have put up...

Alright, people. Either nerf your custom armors, or choose a default one. We can't start an RP with unhappy posters.

Anyone mind if I at least keep the gloves and the thermal cam and advanced targeting..or at least the gloves and the thermal?

Gloves and thermal is fine. But you might just want to simply add them to the Scout armor. You can do that, you know.

is my armor setup okay or should i nerf it some more?
