Interest Check: Knights of the Valkyrie's Vigil [Mech RP]

[TinyValkyrie]

The Valkyrie's Vigil: An international space station that hovers barely above the earth's atmosphere, visible from the planet's surface. It houses individuals from across the earth that have been chosen and trained in order to cultivate their specific talents in order to pilot the Knights, a designated group of specialized humanoid mechs.

These Knights were created in response to the rising threat of an alien menace dubbed as 'The Armada': A race of highly intelligent, sentient parasites, capable of invading and assimilating entire planets within a matter of days. The Armada commonly takes the form of large, masses of organic matter that can morph into a myriad of shapes, and is even capable of using advanced technology and communications systems.

The Valkyrie is a state of the art, inhabitable satellite- the first in the history of the earth. Systems that modify food, air filtration, and even gardening in a specialized greenhouse assures that the crew of the ship live in comfort away from the earth, though life aboard the station can get rather boring. 'Fraternizing'  between the crew members is anything but uncommon.
This, of course, can cause various problems, especially if liaisons are between the pilots and frames of separate Knight mechs...

------------------------------------------------------
Those that are chosen to man the Knights are split into two groups: Pilots, and their Frames. Pilots are in charge of the weaponry and offensive measures in combat, and frames maneuver the Knight manually via a specialized zero gravity chamber within the mech, requiring a full body suit that will make the Knight unit mimic the frame's moves.
Unfortunately, frames are susceptible to feeling physical pain should the Knight be attacked or damaged, causing the relationships between a pilot and frame of a unit to be almost symbiotic, regardless of what terms they stand on a personal level. Certainly, a pilot and a frame that cannot get along (or at the very least put aside their differences) will not last very long in battle...


+Unit 01+
Le Voile la Nuit
(The Veil of Night)
-A black unit. The Veil does not rely on firepower so much as maneuverability and stealth, and is mounted with a sniper-like cannon. This unit requires that the pilot have incredible reaction time and aim to keep up with their frames, and a frame who is flexible in order to meet the full potential of the unit-
Pilot: Alexander
Frame:

+Unit 02+
Hiro no Tsuki
(Hero of the Moon)
-A white unit. Unlike the other units, Hero specializes in melee and close-range combat, allowing it to have a sword mounted on its back. The pilot will need prior kendo training to wield the sword, with a frame that can sequence their moves with the pilot seamlessly-
Pilot: Sir Wolfgang
Frame: TinyValkyrie

+Unit 03+
Grüner Ritter, in der Achtbaren Robe
(Green Knight, in Honorable Robe)
-A deep green unit. The 'tank', Honorable can take the most punishment of all the units, and is the only one mounted with a devastating laser to literally disintegrate foes. Unfortunately, weapons take a while to charge and fire, requiring a pilot with tactical sense and a frame that can think quickly on their feet in tense situations-
Pilot: Doktor Sleepless
Frame: usha

+Unit 04+
In Rood, Tap ik Af
(In Sanguine, I Bleed)
-A deep red unit. Sanguine has the most firepower of all the other units, and can mow down wave after wave of enemies and still have ammo left to spare. It would be best of the pilot was well-versed and skilled in using firearms, with a stronger frame that can move a heavier unit with ease-
Pilot: Kroduk
Frame: TinyValkyrie (Would you like this position?)

+Unit 05+
Monarca de los Mares que Rabian
(Monarch of the Raging Seas)
-A sapphire blue unit. The Monarch is by far the fastest of the units, and fitted with strong shielding plate and lance in its front in order to charge foes in addition to the standard gun fitted to units. Due to its speed, both the pilot and the frame need to have equally fast offensive and defensive maneuvering in order to meet the full potential of the unit-
Pilot: dready
Frame: Shihong

[Sir Wolfgang]

Valkyrie,
If possible, I would like to be the pilot of the Hero of the Moon.

[TinyValkyrie]

Valkyrie,
If possible, I would like to be the pilot of the Hero of the Moon.

Certainly, you got it!

[Aaleril]

I'll take on Unit 01, sounds like an interesting concept. Let me know if this takes off!

[TinyValkyrie]

As the Pilot, or the Frame, dear?
Also, as I cannot help myself..

Nyoro~n<3

[Aaleril]

Hmm, I'll take the frame, mix it up a little.

Smoke-a Cheese de aru yo?

[TinyValkyrie]

Smoke-a Cheese de aru yo?

There's none left, you ate it already. ;_;

[Aaleril]

Wahhh!! Kyon-kun, Kyon-kun! Smoke-a Cheese de ii masu ka?

[TinyValkyrie]

*cough*
Shameless bump- c'mon people!!

[TinyValkyrie]

I've been thinking- perhaps, would anybody like to submit their own ideas for a unit? Or change the certain weapons/abilities of another?
Poo. I really wanted to do this...

[dready]

i'll drop an app for model 05, though could the sheilds be able to be formed into a lance like barrier that is better suited for the strike-by tactics of a hit-and-runner? then again i might have just read the intro for it wrong. ^^;

[Crovonovin]

Assuming this may still be on, I'd love to take on the role of Unit 05's frame.

The problem here may just be the number of people required to begin the roleplay...  Perhaps the story, should it begin, could have some of the Units unaccounted for, to be filled in later?  Either that, or players would have to adapt to multiple roles.

That is a fantastic idea, dear- thank you! And would you like to join us?

Thank you, too dear!
And your idea sounds fantastic as well- perhaps if one or two more people join in, I'd love to at least get this going.
BTW.. I'm loving your sexy panda! ^_^

[dready]

That is a fantastic idea, dear- thank you! And would you like to join us?

indeed i would. though shi's idea brought me to think of another: should we have pc's be the villains as well?

[TinyValkyrie]

indeed i would. though shi's idea brought me to think of another: should we have pc's be the villains as well?

You, my dear, are a genius.
Would that be something that could interest you as well?
I could put in a separate section for The Armada if it does...

[dready]

i wouldn't mind one bit portraying such a role. ^^ though i have a question: would the armada be able to take the amoebic shape of say... a slime like creature before they copy the tech they come accross?

[Crovonovin]

Not to rain on any parades, but I almost feel as though the Armada should be controlled solely by you, TV.  They seem like a rather terrifying foe, and keeping their mighty force restricted to the oh so manipulative hands of the Game Master seems more appropriate.  Giving the players control over the enemies almost cheapens their alien nature.  They become a bit less enigmatic that way.

Mwehehehehehe.
Controlled by me, dear? A Valkyrie can be a cruel, cruel Mistress. But at the same time, I would definitely appreciate the help, and it would still be nice if I wasn't completely aware of what the enemy was doing the entire time as well!

On the other hand dready, if you do indeed want to be part of the Armada, I have no problem if you would still like to pursue it~ I modeled them after, say, the Angels from EVA or the Flood from the Halo series: They are free to cause so much chaos because they can assimilate to almost any shape quite easily.

So.. what do you guys think?

[dready]

i'm game for it no matter which side i'm on, the interactions throughout this setting seems to intruige my imagination enough for a few ideas to spring up. ^^ though are they mindless and just controlled by one being or are there multiple 'hive minds' to think of?

[TinyValkyrie]

In that case.. would it be alright if you were on the Knight side to start out? I would like to find more pilots/frames before filling any other positions!

For now.. I wanted the secret of The Armada to stay with me for the time being..

[dready]

*bows gracefully before giving a small two finger salute with his left hand* i shall do so. ^^

[TinyValkyrie]

Hee hee~ thank you very much!
So, what will it be?
Hopefully not longcat.. (though your sig is priceless!)

[dready]

as mentioned before, i would prefer to have model # 05. i have a lack in imaginative ambition for the other open mechs, though i shall allow myself to play as the model 04 or 03 even if against my normal tactics.

Tadaa~ it is done, dear <3

[dready]

madam, i thank you. *bows again before resting in anticipation for the others to come* ^^

[Kroduk]

I... could have sworn I posted here already. Odd.

I'd like to apply for the pilot position of unit 4, please.

"Guns. Lots of guns."

[TinyValkyrie]

Certainly, dear!!!

[Doktor Sleepless]

I'll pilot the Green Knight with a cool German gunner dude! :P

[Kroduk]

Jawohl!

[TinyValkyrie]

Certainly, Herr Doktor!
-clicks heels together-

[Doktor Sleepless]

BLITZKRIEG!!!

[Kroduk]

*is reminded of a song of the same name. Headbangs*

[dready]

*watches the interactions* strange yet intriguing. ^^

[Doktor Sleepless]

Are we making a character thread, with profiles and stuff?

[Kroduk]

Herr Doktor, I am already in love with your character.

[Doktor Sleepless]

Hehe... Just be careful, he is not "the gay". :)

[TinyValkyrie]

Herr Doktor! Arden has come out to meet you! Won't you go say hello?

[Doktor Sleepless]

I just did! You know, I'm a very visual person; it'd help me if others posted complete descriptions, or even pictures of their characters. :P

[TinyValkyrie]

lol, sorry, I didn't catch that before!
Damn slow compy.

Hmm.. that would be a good idea though! Should I put them on the first post of this thread? I was completely fine for this to be our OOC thread, but I wouldn't mind making one...

[Doktor Sleepless]

A separate character thread, like a character database would be nice. Something like this, with all the info on characters.

[TinyValkyrie]

Herr Doktor, this is really detailed!
But in pure Valkyrie fashion, I shall do my best!

[Doktor Sleepless]

I can help if you want. I'm at your service.

[TinyValkyrie]

SHABAM, guys!
https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=34682.0

OOC thread and chara repository..
Its going to be a huge work in progress though..!

[Doktor Sleepless]

Woohooo!

[TinyValkyrie]

I want a consensus, guys:
Battle now, or sexytime now?

[Sir Wolfgang]

I'm ok with sexytime... *grins innocently*

[Doktor Sleepless]

I can do some roleplaying and foreplay now; but totally sexytime will have to wait about 2.5 hours until I'm home. :P

[TinyValkyrie]

That reminds me~ Herr Doktor, could you please reserve a spot in the OOC thread for Gunther? Thank you! <3

[Sir Wolfgang]

*sigh* I wish I didn't have to get up early tomorrow; then it could be sexytime right now....

[TinyValkyrie]

Waaaaah!
Then Arden will simply go pleasure herself in her beloved garden, lol...

[Sir Wolfgang]

Although I suppose I could stay up a while longer *smiles*

[Doktor Sleepless]

That reminds me~ Herr Doktor, could you please reserve a spot in the OOC thread for Gunther? Thank you! <3

You got it, bosslady.

Waaaaah!
Then Arden will simply go pleasure herself in her beloved garden, lol...

Unless she's interested in getting on Gunther's good graces, Ja?

[Doktor Sleepless]

Holy crap, Arden is a hottie!!!!! I love the picture you chose for her... and love the mechs. Can I do some Photoshop work (try to) on my mech? Make it deep green, add some custom "nose art" and such?

[TinyValkyrie]

Herr Doktor, you may do whatever you wish! I know that the pic chosen for Honorable isn't really green, but I loved the solid, indomitable tank look that it has.
But first and foremost, I want you guys to actually see and feel that your mechs are yours.

And thank you! I wanted Arden to look 'cute' moreso than 'drop dead gorgeous'.. she looked cute, but the sword still talks business!
You know- "Speak softly, but carry a big stick"..

[Doktor Sleepless]

The look of the machine is PERFECT.

[TinyValkyrie]

Aaleril has gracefully bowed out, guys...
but I do wish that more people would join!

I was even playing with the idea of making a second chara myself...

[Doktor Sleepless]

Too bad about Aaleril! Will you make a frame for Gunther? :P

[TinyValkyrie]

Not sure- if anything, I'd need to find a frame for Clayton because he was here first.
Bah. More ladies need to join!

[Kroduk]

Yay me. :P

[Doktor Sleepless]

Yes, ladies!!!

[Sir Wolfgang]

I would be willing to play a second char, if we need more people. I can also try asking some of my other rp partners, to see if any of them would be interested in playing.

[Crovonovin]

If absolutely necessary, I could also play a second character.  I do think it might be better to get some fresh blood for this though.  I don't suppose there's been any word from dready?  I suppose he's just been busy.

[usha]

Reserve me a spot for a frame! *watches as Doktor Sleepless and Kroduk duke it out*

Character concept will be coming later after I've had time to think, just wanted to slide my name in there!

[Doktor Sleepless]

*pounces usha and makes her his* :)

[usha]

Oh my! That wasn't much of a fight...but I feel all warm and squishy inside now!

Possibly a result from the internal injuries sustained from the pounce! *grin*

[Doktor Sleepless]

Nah, I was gentle. :P

[Doktor Sleepless]

Tiny, what do you think of this? The color and the unit number match your descrip; while the custom paint is what Gunther would get on the mech as soon as possible:

[Kroduk]

FUER FREI!

[Doktor Sleepless]

Ja, mein freund.

[TinyValkyrie]

Tiny, what do you think of this? The color and the unit number match your descrip; while the custom paint is what Gunther would get on the mech as soon as possible:

Ah..
Give me moment.. I think I just came.

[Crovonovin]

Hopefully the sniper I sent you is suitable for Unit 01!  Let me tell ya, it took some doing to find...  Most 'sniper' mechas seemed to be Gundams.

[TinyValkyrie]

Really guys~ you are all so incredible and awesome for helping me so much with this! And your input on how the Armada works is sheer brilliance, Shihong- it somewhat reminds me of the Brain Bug from Starship Troopers, in a sense that information can be forcefully extracted from foes and used against them..!
Scary bananas.

And I must apologize~ I am a stage manager for a theatre production, and so this weekend may be a little iffy for me posting- wise. But come Sunday/Monday, I should be on as frequently as I had before.
..and then, we shall have the first wave. >:]

Let's just say that Arden is depressed in her room for the time being.
..and you're all about to figure out a big secret about her soon..
(dun dun duuuun!)

But everyone, have fun, do what you've been doing (fantastically, I might add), and I'll catch you all in a bit!

And usha dear, I was thinking you could be a frame for either Kroduk or Doktor, as I am still thinking up another chara so nobody will be left out~

[Doktor Sleepless]

Give me moment.. I think I just came.

First time I make a woman come with my Photoshop skills...

[usha]

I can't imagine it being the last =D

Doktor and I spent some time in PMs and hammered out a pair so unless there are any objections I'll pair up as his frame and fill out the profile. Once I get the okay, I'll hope in, we can say my characters launch to the sattelite was delayed by technical difficulties or something!

[dready]

I want a consensus, guys:
Battle now, or sexytime now?

i can drop either. :3

[Crovonovin]

Hey dready!  A bit late to really get in the game!  We wouldn't want to leave you in the dust!  Your corresponding Frame is currently nestled in her bunk on the last page of the thread.  Figure partners should at least be introduced to one another.

[dready]

tis true, yet the school has been under a couple of problems technology-wise but i'll at least post in the thread before getting off the comp tonight. ^^

[Doktor Sleepless]

I can't imagine it being the last =D

Why, you need something? :P

[Alexander]

Id like to Apply for Pilot of 01, since it seems to be owner-less.

[Doktor Sleepless]

Come on in, grab a chair!

[Alexander]

Soon as I see Valkyrie on Im sure I will. She had asked me to consider joining some time back when she made the idea. After thinking it over (Since im as of yet, never been in a group RP) I decided to make a go of it. ^^

-tackles-
My Lord!! Yaaaaaaay!
And everyone~ I am back! I had a good five page to read through before I posted, lol.
But Alexander love, I will set up all of your info and things once you start posting~ and please make sure you reserve a spot for your chara in the OOC/Chara repository thread!

[Alexander]

Ill have a character up post haste. Id also like to submit my own image of the Veil unit, if i may? (Saw others changed, thought i would ask :P )

[TinyValkyrie]

Of course! I suggest that you join soon, dear.. things are about to get.. 'complicated'..
Also, I have made it canon that if there is a frame/pilot currently missing for a unit, there is a set program to take over the role.
