Intro:
Hello everyone and welcome back to a remake/revamp of the RP Iron Storm originally made by Mega, who sadly left us before he could finish his RP. The reason why I am making a revamped version of Iron Storm is because of severe problems that happened in the IC of the original which in turn caused the RP to go to a complete halt. This is meant to give us the ability to restart the RP with a fresh beginning. The plot and everything will remain the same with a few tweaks here and there.
Prologue:
In the year 2400 a war among the nations broke out over the globe. This wasn't really a global war though, this was an intergalactic war between planets. As fate would have it an intergalactic race once known as the Mechon had invaded Earth. The Mechon were a fierce, highly advanced race that were both mechanical, and biological in nature. At first the Mechon seemed harmless enough, only after resources like iron, and other ores. All major governments of Earth where wary of this. They were also too afraid to attack the Mechon, as they were unsure of how dangerous they really were. However the Mechon did something unexpected... they left the planet... The Government were confused but relieved as the Mechon suddenly left... until they returned one year later with... malicious intents.
The Mechon came back, and they attacked several cities. All Major Governments grew scared. As nothing they had thrown at them would seemingly phase the Mechon army. All major Government banded together to think up of some way to defend Earth, and stop these invaders. Eventually a lone man came forth and brought up this idea... You see 50 years before hand a major war on Earth had taken place, and during said war large humanoid robots were built for trained men to pilot. However they were not used because they were deemed "too dangerous" against other humans... This man brought this fact up.
"If they were too dangerous against other humans, then they might be strong enough to use against these dreadful alien invaders..."
Everyone was at first hesitant, but it was one of the only options they had left. So what they did was they brought these "Mechs" back, and got them up and running. They had trained enough men to pilot these large machines which have been called "Arm Slaves". Much to their luck these Arm Slaves were just what they needed. Earth managed to fight off the Mechon, and things...went back to normal.
Skip 200 years into the year 2604 and the earth is still at peace. All major Governments banded together and created one large Government, more of these Arm Slaves were built, and are now mostly Mass Produced, and even customized.
Arm Slaves have also shrunk in size from being nearly as tall as Skyscrapers, down to being only 20-50 feet tall. The reason behind this is because of practicality. If you had something 50-70 meters (164-262 ft) tall, then the chances of causing major damage within cities. Mechs of such sizes would also be increasingly harder to move in city, were too expensive to make and pilot, and were too dangerous for civilian use. Hence their size decrease over the years.
There are now special schools for training people to pilot these mechs all over the globe, and there are even tournaments for specially for Arm Slave Mechs held annually in different places along the globe. Unfortunately for them though... the Mechon they fought against 200 years ago... Were only part of a bigger army... and that army is heading towards Earth as we speak...
But right now though a new Tournament that is being hosted and sponsored by an ex-war veteran by the name of Hector "Hyde" Mercedes (Wonder's character of whom he still has full control over) is about to begin in about one day. Many Arm Slaves and their pilots have come across the globe all the way to Honolulu, Hawaii. As the Tournament leading up to the Semi-finals will take place on one of the still uninhabited islands of Hawaii, while the Semi-finals and onward will be held in a special arena.
RULES:
Rule 1: No matter what happens no Godmodding, Powergaming, or Meta-Gaming. If caught I will punish you severely.
Rule 2: No Sexually Explicit stuff, and no cursing and all. If you do just censor it out as best as possible.
Rule 3: Do not start any major story or plot points without consent of EVERYONE.
Rule 4: Be Respectful of others.
Rule 5: Do not start picking random fights with others. In the IC and OOC.
Rule 6: Other General RP rules apply.
Rule 7: Try to make decent and decently lengthed posts. I don't personally mind short posts of a sentence or two, but somewhat longer posts are welcome. (You do not have to make posts of 3-4 paragraphs in length, hell a paragraph of simply 3-4 sentences is fine. As long as you put in sufficient info in your posts. If you however are unable to make posts of said length then please inform everyone as to why. Must be a legit reason, no "I'm too lazy to" crap okay?)
Rule 8: If you had a character in the original Iron Storm, then feel free to use that character again. However a character that was used in the original RP will not be immediately accepted due to the fact that people will most likely be editing their apps. You can even start with a completely new character if you wish.
Rule 9: Do NOT GIVE YOURSELF UPGRADES WHENEVER YOU WISH. I will be putting 2-3 people in charge of upgrade distribution in the RP. Those two people will be listed below.
Rule 10: Since the RP is going to be starting in Honolulu, try to have your character start there unless they do have an actual means to travel from one side of the globe to Honolulu, Hawaii within a day (since it is far in the future in the RP it is possible to do so with the right vehicle.) Also in turn try not to have multiple arcs going on in different parts of the globe at the same time. In order to do so though, you will need at least 4-5 characters (all controlled by different people.) For example lets not like have the "main story" going on with most of the people in the RP take place in Hawaii, then two people make second characters and start a story on the side somewhere else in the globe, then many people start doing the same. So unless a story will have 4-5 characters controlled by different people then the possibility of that story surviving might be slim, in that case try to get those two characters to one of the more important "story arcs" as soon as possible.
Rule 11: Do not just immediately bring in new concepts into the RP on the fly, if you wish to bring in a new concept for like a new sort of Alien weapon, or animal-like mechs then discuss it with EVERYONE in the OOC first. If a majority of the people in the OOC agree with the idea then I or Katrix (since he is a mod of the RP Section) can edit it into the Introduction.
Rule 12: Have Fun.
ABOUT ARM SLAVES:
Arm Slaves are the Mechs of this Universe. Arm Slaves are humanoid in shape, and possess powerful weapons, unique power sources, operating systems, and usually an Artificial Intelligence system inside the mech to help aid the pilot. The general height of a Arm Slave is about 27 ft, but the size and armaments of each Arm Slave can differ depending on the Manufacturer. Though the legal max height for a Arm Slave is 16 meters (52 ft), the design of an Arm Slave can also differ from the pilot's recommendations (only in the case of custom models), and the Manufacturer. Since Arm Slaves can be mass produced certain people who have their Arm Slave License can ask for their own custom Arm Slaves built with custom parts.
Arm Slave "Genres":
There are three "Genres" of Arm Slaves out there. Custom, Mass Produced, or Military Grade. Each describing what is so special about the,.
Custom Arm Slaves: Custom Arm Slaves are usually built out of preference from a person. Someone can get a custom Arm Slave from a Manufacturing company if they have a Arm Slave License, or they could get parts from Manufacturing companies to build it themselves. These are usually more varied, but not always built for straight up combat. As they usually won't have immediate access to military grade weaponry. The plus side though is that Custom Arm Slaves are more suited to their pilot only, and in the hands of a truly skilled expert can be as lethal as any Military Grade Arm Slave. These also generally have more Unique Appearances.
Military Grade: Arm Slaves built by the Military, these things are BUILT for combat, and combat only. They are usually armed with top notch Military Grade Equipment, systems, and piloted by those trained by the Military. These have higher chances to have unique systems, like the COBALT Organization's special engines devoted to doing one thing like temporarily boosting the power of a Arm Slave. These Military Grade Mechs are usually more powerful, but are built to be more... specific. They are usually built with certain goals in mind, like some built to tank attacks, but won't be capable of moving quickly. They will be strong and very good at what they do, but the are usually only built for combat as well as having significant weaknesses. These are built by the Military Organization COBALT along with other Manufacturing companies and organizations specializing in Military Grade Arm Slaves, and since they are more powerful than Mass Produced types they are incredibly expensive. They are in turn not as common as Custom, or Mass Produced types. They also aren't nowhere near as varied as Custom ones. These can still be quite significantly different than Mass Produced ones however. These will however usually have a more unique operating system though.
Mass Produced: These are built by Manufacturers for many different uses ranging from construction, demolition, military use, to many other uses. They are nowhere near as varied as Custom, or even some of the Military Grade mechs. These literally are only built with one thing in mind. Anyone can get and pilot one if they have a license. They will come already built, can be customized. By default they might not be as good as a Customized, or a Military Grade Arm Slave, but sometimes Mass Produced types are more generalized and more well purposed to perform many different tasks (depending on the Mass Produced Lines, and Manufacturer) while Military Grade ones, and Custom ones are either more personal, or built for combat only.
ARM SLAVE TYPES:
Arm Slaves are generally condensed into different types based on their specs, and specialties. The types are as follows:
Power Type: Arm Slaves that focus on having more physical power than anything are considered to be Power Types.
Speed Type: Mech's that are built to be lighter, faster, and overall more mobile than other mech's.
Defense Type: These mech's are generally larger, and built to withstand heavy damage. They might not be the most offensive, but they are quite literal tanks on the battlefield. They also aren't the fastest, unless they are lighter in weight, but armed with some sort of shielding system.
Stamina Type: These mech's are generally all around in terms of statistics, but they are designed to run for much longer periods of time on the battlefield. Capable at running at near maximum power even when damaged.
Stealth: Mech's built for more stealthy situations. Usually can be armed with a personal Optical Camouflage. These types aren't really the strongest, fastest, or most defensive.
These types don't determine what your mech is and what they will be weak against, but they do define what class they are and what they will get. The type you list for your mech also helps determine what kind of UPGRADES your character's mech obtains. For example if you choose a Defensive type your character's mech will receive upgrades that cater to your mechs defensive capabilities, and a few to improve what it is weak at (though the latter will be rather rare upgrades.)
Organizations:
COBALT: The main Military Organization in the world, and are in charge of Global Defense as well as Arm Slave Development when it comes to special operating systems such as the still Prototype Lamda Driver System. COBALT is a Military Organization comprising of all old Military Organizations from around the globe that existed in the past. They have one major base of operations held in each major Nation around the globe. This Military Organization is only a branch of the Military that seems to specialize in Arm Slave development, research, and combat.
Grace Industries: A major Arm Slave Manufacturing company that deals with Mass Produced, and Custom Arm Slaves.
MORE TO BE ADDED! If you have an organization/company idea that please post it in the OOC, and we all can review it and then if it is suitable we can add it to this post.
Staff:
This is to show who is in charge of who in the RP. Everyone who was in the original RP are technically mods in this. As such we all can accept each others apps, but not our own. Though there will be a few roles designated to specific people.
Upgrade Distribution:
Wrigglerid3r (since Wriggle originally wanted to be of this status in the original), S121, and SUSTIC are in charge of finding, making up, and distributing upgrades for everyone's mechs in the RP.
Character Archiving:
ZeroZekai (along with whoever else who wants to help with this) as he is one in Trinity Soul University. He helps archive, and make a list of all the characters and Arm Slaves in the RP.
We are also in charge of keeping the story going, as well as enforcing the rules. If one of us breaks the rules or does something, then someone else in the RP should inform said person.
