~Chaotic Eddie~ 479 November 29, 2014 Share November 29, 2014 (edited) "If you fail, the dropship is your only escape option. You miss the dropship, we ain't giving you any other way out." Field Commander Rainbow Dash of the Solar Empire remembered those words from her very first days of pilot training as she looked up to see that great gunship sailing off into the distance...Almost forlornly, she turned her head to the giant robot beside her... "Well, Nataliya... Guess we're on our own..." The mech did not reply, being an AI programmed mostly for war, simply standing there awaiting orders to follow or enemies to shoot.Little did Dash know that more than just enemies were headed her way... She was about to have an encounter with an old enemy, thought dead for years... Hello, good evening and potato! This is a little action RP I came up with, inspired partly by the video game Titanfall - though you need not really know much about the game itself to roleplay, all you need to know is that there's a war and there's mechs. The roleplay will likely take place over Skype or instant messaging if not on the forum itself - this is just to quicken things up a little. Backstory: After a tragic accident which resulted in the deaths of Princesses Celestia and Luna, Equestria hurried to find a new leader. Princess Cadence of the Crystal Empire had to remain with her subjects, and Princess Twilight, unable to face the pressure of ruling the entire empire, abdicated after a shaky two-year rule. Equestria was thus left without a monarch - As such, control over the country was handed by default to the Solar Empire (SoE). However, after a few years the Empire found a powerful rival in the New Lunar Republic, who rebelled against the Empire's regime.Unrest slowly grew, and before long, conflicts and fights started springing up across the country. In turn, the severity of these fights escalated, and after a few months, Equestria was at civil war. Solar Empire Field Commander Rainbow Dash has been left behind on the battlefield after being defeated, and encounters former Wonderbolt and NLR Commander Spitfire, who has been presumed dead for some time. In actual fact, after being left behind she managed to escape the battlefield and, with her Titan engineer, went rogue, setting up third faction with the intent of ending the stalemate between the NLR and SoE. Characters involved:Rainbow Dash - WindbreakerSpitfire - Myself Monkey Wrench - Myself Aha'ban Steelwings - IllusivePony Whisper - Golden Shield Tempest Shift - Tempest ShiftOC Expansion Slots:OC #4 OC #5 The OCs can be canon characters instead if you so wish. Rainbow Dash is priority - For story purposes, Spitfire and Rainbow Dash must encounter each other before the RP can begin in earnest.If you're interested, simply leave a message or send me a private message either on the Forums or on Skype. Roles will be given out on a first come, first served basis. Please note: You will need to be descriptive and able to roleplay in a paragraph style. Constructive criticism is also welcome.I await your opinions and replies~ Edited December 4, 2014 by ~Chaotic Eddie~ I do poetry.

FancyHorse 1,209 November 29, 2014 Share November 29, 2014 While Titanfall could've explained it's lore better, I've had a fair interest into it's world. I'm highly interested into this RP. Just wanting to confirm, is our allegiance in this RP with the solar empire? Do stick around Darling, I could use the company~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EcstaticWind 572 November 30, 2014 Share November 30, 2014 One question: How are there the Solar Empire and New Lunar Republic if Celestia and Luna are dead? That detail aside, I'm rather interested in this RP. I liked Titanfall, but it was kinda lacking in the 'story that wasn't drowned out by gunfire' department. Speaking of which, is there more to the story or just what's listed in the OP? Otanoshimi wa kore kara da! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~Chaotic Eddie~ 479 December 1, 2014 Author Share December 1, 2014 Just wanting to confirm, is our allegiance in this RP with the solar empire? Our alliegiance won't be with either team - All will be revealed soon enough. One question: How are there the Solar Empire and New Lunar Republic if Celestia and Luna are dead? The groups were initially founded to folloe the ideals of the dead Princesses, but as the OP says, there was unrest between the two groups and by the time the war began, the original ideals they were following were forgotten. Looking back through again, I may not be able to play via Skype. I lack a PC and home internet. And my smart phone isn't exactly the "smartest" phone. No problem - We can do this over MLPF Speaking of which, is there more to the story or just what's listed in the OP? There is a bit more, and it'll be revealed as we go along. I do poetry.

No, you don't need to know much about titanfall - all you need ot know is that there's a war and there's mechs. Just ask if you need something explained. 2.

FancyHorse 1,209 December 3, 2014 Share December 3, 2014 Alrighty then. http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100821210000/killzone/images/c/c6/UNSC_Exoskeleton_view.jpg So these mechs, unlike the giant armored titans are classified under the mech class Munchkin. Patrol Rats are the single seated light armored mobile vehicle, with their speed and agility they are best suited for recon, patrol, and light assault against infantry. The Badger is a medium armored transport mech who's role is to transport and provide support for fellow infantry. They even have support roles to work along aside Titans as added firesupport.
