Mecha Wars Signup/OOC thread

[Gatomon41]

Just for fun, I was wondering if anybody was interested in starting a Mecha-themed Story game.

If you're unfamiliar with Story games, here's the gist of it:

One user (typically the person who begins the thread), begins a story with a paragraph setting up the scene and whats going on. The players (evreyone else) adds to the story by introducing characters and what they're doing. Per the forum rules, there is a 1 Paragraph minimum.

It then goes on from there, with each user adding to the tale, having their characters react to what happens in the others replies.

Instead of having stats, the game is more plot based, just trying to tell a fun story.

Well, that's the basics of it (as I understand it). Anyone speak up if I'm missing something.

Back to the beginning, Mecha Wars is was it says on the label. You play a pilot of a giant robot (or the mecha itself, or a side character or whatever) in the middle of a war. The Mecha can be anything from Super Robot (Gurren laggan) to real robot (Gundam, Battletech).

If anyone is interested, post:
Character's Name:
Gender:
Age:
Brief Bio: (short a short paragraph)
Agenda (what the character's main goal is):
Vehicle: (Mecha, tank, support craft, etc.)
Size: (How big the vehicle is. It could range from man-size to building sized).
Abilities: (To make it fun, don't make your characters or mecha overpowered. Mary sues make for poor characters).
Armament: (What they use to fight).

Character's name: Ryan Brown
Gender: Male
Age: 27
Bio: Born in the last great European war, Ryan Brown saw his parents killed in front of his eyes by his beloved uncle who was secretly part of the IRA. He escaped from his uncle in the siege of Dublin and escaped to England. He became an admirer of Bia Armani, who had used her transformer-mecha technology to turn the tide of the war at the Battle of London. After the war, she adopted him. He became aware of her most intimate designs for her mechas, until she was recently murdered and her lab was nearly destroyed by "Libyan terrorists". He escaped with her latest mecha to find the truth behind her death.
Agenda: To find Armani's killer.
Mecha: Mecha!
Abilities: Able to stomp, transform into a submarine, and be able to punch and lost hailfire missiles of moderate power.
Armament: The mecha or the person? If the person, a belt buckle that shoots out blades and other sharp objects. Also a Walter PPK that used to be used by a well-known British agent, who may want it back.

Yeah, you can describe both the mech and small arms for the character.

I haven't forgotten this thread. However, until three more players are sign up, the game won't start.

Alright then. For the mecha....giant laser cannons, small target missiles, and a large sword.
