In case you haven't guessed, I'd like to participate in a game in the style of Gurren Lagann. Absurdly gigantic mechs, ludicrously awesome achievements, and fighting to bring back humanity from the brink of extinction. M&M, BESM, or Exalted 2e could all probably work fairly well for the game, if anyone's interested in further details, I'd be happy to hash it out.

Thinking about this, I think that Exalted would be the best choice, as there's a definite fit. It'd most likely be a Solar Game, featuring Warstriders- and larger, so much larger vehicles- primarily. I think that there'll be plenty of things about the game which'll make it well-suited towards this. The experience style'll most likely be explosive- Characters start pretty standard, but experience will be extremely generous, training times extremely short, etcetera. I'm thinking of ways to work with the vastly differing sizes of vehicles- I'm currently looking at something along the lines of, if there's a difference of 1 'class', the smaller one uses human-level stats, the larger one Warstrider level stats. Any larger than that, and the larger one is, essentially, viciously hostile terrain.
 
If I were to end up running this, which seems overly likely, then the thing I'd want to do most is make sure that I have a good outline for the path that things will take.

Alright, this is starting to look like one of those 'If you want a job done right' things... How many people think they'd be interested in a game like this? I'd be looking for a circle of five Solars, all of whom would be very much possessed of an indomitable spirit and motivations to match. We'd be starting at normal levels, but I intend to have advancement come fast, and hard. I'll play a little loose with continuity and such, but the general setting will be pretty much the same. I'm thinking that sex will be secondary to rocking the fuck out with awesomeness, but there'll still be some. Who'd be interested?

Some of you may be wondering what the hell I'm talking about. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOBG3CCew7Q This Youtube video shows a bit of what led to the state of the world that Gurren Lagann's in now, while giving a good idea for the epic music and general epic awesomeness of the series. Feel free to PM me for more information about GL.

Keep in mind, whoever you play, there will be an extremely high probability of you being called upon to beat someone the hell up. This game will not be about the delicate and subtle management of an empire, intrigue and court politics, or exploration. This game is about standing up to the evil in the world, and punching it square in the gob with a metal fist the size of a small calf.

How long will it take to upgrade to metal fists the size of a small building?

That ought to depend on how Increasing Strength Exercise interacts with warstriders.

Valkyr

I'd be interested in playing a twilight caste if no one else has dibs.

This was never my world, you took the Angel away....

Ajoxer

Looks like you're the first to go for it.

So,
Dawn- Jefepato
Zenith- Circlmastr
Twilight- Valkyr
Unknown- Muse

I'm thinking that we'll only need three characters for the introduction, which I'd like to start soon.

Awesome,  I'll get to work on a crafter/with some combat skills peppered into the mix.

Not yet. Normal character creation. Just a few notes:
1: This game WILL be combat-heavy. You're fighting for people's freedom, and you're doing it in the most physical ways possible. Don't worry too much about if you can charm that recalcitrant bureaucrat, because by and large, if you can't solve the problem with violence, you haven't tried hard enough yet.
2: Your Jedi Mind-tricks won't work here. Or rather, you don't really need them. I'm going to say 'take it easy on the mind-controlling social hoo-hah', because you're Solars. You're so god damn awesome, you lead by inspiration. You don't need to screw with someone's mind to make them follow you- They'll follow because you're the hero, and that's all there is to it.

Can you say WHERE here is yet?  Or do you have a way to get us where we're starting yet?

I'll need some sheets to define exactly where, but I'm looking to have an initial couple of characters, most likely Jefepato and Circl, in a small Southern tribe, nomads. Two-three others will probably be a part of a small city. It'll take place in the South, the game'll start with the discovery of a rather strange artifact in the Southern tribe, and incredibly huge trouble.

Thanks, that gives me something to work with... 

And we begin as starting level solar exalts.  *nods*

Alright, Jefepato starts, Circl coming in soon after. It'll probably be a little while before Valkyr gets to join in, and Muse, and whoever else we get, enters during the second episode. Remember to check the OOC topic in the same board.

Alright, we're still looking for an Eclipse Caste for later, and Muse, get that Night Caste up and running now so you needn't do it later!

Can I have a Five-Metal Shrike?  Cos if you're talking badass transports baby, that's the way to go.

I'd ask for a Titan-Class Aerial Citadel, but I already know where one of those is.

Yes, I know. I can be wrong. Maybe I'm too headstrong.

Not until we get a little bit further into the game. And I intend to lift the level of 'awesome things that are huge' just a tad in this game...
