OOC NOTE: The reading below is not required to RP, but I do recommend that you read it anyway, just to get a feel for the RP ^^


================================

M/ECA (mehk-ah): Acronym - Mechanical/Electronic Combat Armor

M/ECA is an advanced form of electronically and mechanically assisted combat armor designed to be used on heavy infantry in the late 2300's. The cost of mass-producing the armor proved to be too great, and the contract between several military groups and the inventing company (Manticore Galactic Industries, or MGI) fell through.

Since then, the idea was picked up as a form of intergalactic war-game, spanning the thousands of inhabited galaxies. M/ECA are bought or built by players, either independently or sponsored as a team of five, and used in a combination of ranged and hand-to-hand combat, with ultimately the stronger machine being the victor.

The MCC, or M/ECA Combat Commission is an intergalactic bureau that regulates sponsorships, team and independent rankings, and any gambling on scheduled M/ECA events. Obviously even the MCC can't see everything at all times, so naturally there are shady underground networks to arrange fights and prize money with, but more often than not, their fights end in death, rather than shut-down (M/ECA ceases to function) or forfeit.

The M/ECA, in Detail:

The M/ECA operates through a Neural Interrupt Port (NIP) which is a surgical implant at the base of the skull. When a pilot (M/ECA operator) suits up, the NIP re-routes the signals from the motor controls section of the brain into the M/ECA's computer. So in essence, the pilot doesn't move the suit, the suit moves the pilot. The speed and accuracy of the suit's movements depend on both the user's skill and the suit's operating system.

In terms of what a M/ECA looks like, the designs and variations are as limitless as the universe itself. But most tend to follow a pretty straightforward trend of resembling the pilot in shape. For instance, if the user is a humanoid biped, the suit will have two legs, two arms and a head. They come in one of five general weight classes, ranked from lightest to heaviest, and each have their own advantages and disadvantages. They are: Ultralight, Lightweight, Standard, Heavyweight, and Megaton.

M/ECA can carry a miriad of weapons and tools either inside or on the suit itself. The limit though is usually one per suit section: left arm, right arm, torso, legs, back and head.

Outboard weapons (weapons not attached to, powered by, or integrated into the M/ECA itself) are permissable, but not generally recommended, due to the ease of which they are disarmed or rendered inoperable. On the flip side, they are easily repaired, cheap to buy or build, and any weight class can use any type of outboard weapon.

Integrated weapons (weapons attached to or integrated into the M/ECA) are usually more powerful, harder to damage or disable, and rarely run out of ammo, especially if poweed by the M/ECA's Eternal Energy Dynamo (EED), a sort of nuclear battery. The downside being that they are harder to repair, sometimes having to be removed from the suit entirely for weeks at a time. Also, integrated weapons are expensive, and need to be compatible with their weight class (OOC NOTE: I won't be too hardcore about this, but use some common sense please. An Ultralight won't carry a Howitzer, and a Megaton can't fly.)

M/ECAs are sheilded by two layers of armor. The first layer is a feild of energy, which deflects plasma and other energy-based attacks. The second is a more conventional layer of titanium plating, designed to absorb bullets, melee weapons and explosions.

The Exertion Engine is considered by some to be the M/ECA's most important feature. It's not so much an engine as it is a short-lived, ultra-powerful battery of reserve power, with can be used to increase the strength, speed, or sheilding of a M/ECA, but some pilots program their M/ECAs to unleash an ultrapowerful attack with the reserve energy in an 'all or nothing' last ditch maneuvre. This is called an Exertion Technique and is an extremely powerful attack, usually related in some way to the M/ECA's personal style or theme. Due to the sheer power of the Exertion Engine though, it can be used ONCE, and only ONCE. After that, the engine must be recharged out of battle, back at the Pilot's base or Carrier Ship.

So enough reading. Here you are. You've just gotten funding to join the MCC, buy and outfit a M/ECA of your very own. Go fight and earn some money.

-Pilot-
Name: Andrew McDonald
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Orientation: Bi
Species: Mink
Description: Pure, glossy black from head to toe, and dresses in a dark greenish-brown flightsuit when not wearing his M/ECA suit. Is generally quiet and keeps to himself, but during a M/ECA battle, he is ruthless and direct in his methods of attack. Has a strict sense of morals, inspired by the ancient Japanese honor system, Bushido.
-M/ECA-
Codename: Tachikaze ('Killing Wind')
Team/Independent: Independent
Weight Class: Lightweight
Style/Theme: Speed; Wind-based attack.
Description: Simple, humanoid design. Roughly 7 feet tall and covered in polished, 1/4" titanium armor. M/ECA suit has a pair of radio 'Ear Blades' that, while the suit is functioning properly, twitch and swivel constantly, picking up radio signals as well as normal sound waves. The ear blades also help to make the suit more 'expressive'.
Strengths: Speed; Rapid Strikes
Flaws: Lack of strong attacks; thin sheilding/armor.
Weapons: Outboard
Plasma Blade (Last resort weapon designed to resemble a katana. Generates a superheated plasma beam in a forcefield)
Shrapnel Grenade x5 (a self-explanatory explosive)
Meteor-Class Sniper Cannon (.50 Cal rifle. Extremely slow firing rate, and only effective between 250 to 500 yards)
Integrated
Sparkcaster (Small energy gun mounted in the left wrist)
Zephyr Cannon (Custom minigun built into the right arm. 2600rpm; 5000 round capacity)
Exertion Technique: Killing Wind - Attaching a cable to his Plasma Blade, Andrew channels the Exertion Engine's power through the blade as he swings it, creating a flurry of plasma waves, slicing through all but the toughest of materials. The attack is chaotic at best, with no way of aiming or directing the blades, other than facing the target.
--------------

Andrew sighed softly, looking around at the landscape. Nothing but mesas and golden desert sands for miles. The perfect type of area for a M/ECA fight. Zero chance of collateral damage. It was something the MCC insisted on if it were to allow M/ECA fights on inhabited planets as well as uninhabited ones. With no-one around, Andrew ran his M/ECA's diagnostics cycle again, just to be sure he was still running at peak performance: Power System at 98.5% efficiency; extremely good considering the heat and dust. Ammo fully stocked; he hadn't fired a shot all day, and to be honest, he was itching to. He checked his outboard weapons as well, just to be sure. His rifle was dusty but not jammed, grenades within easy reach, and his Plasma Blade's battery was still fully charged.

"All this power and no-one to take it out on..." he muttered softly, trudging through the sand, listening to it scrape softly against his titanium armor. He preferred desert combat more than any other terrain. Only Lightweights and Ultralights could outrun him here, and the lack of cover made it difficult for sniper and hit n' run tatics. The perfect enviornment, he thought.[/i]

Orientation: Gay.
Species: Human.
Description: A slim, blonde gentleman with blue eyes. Wears thigh high beige boots and blue jodhpurs tucked into them. Military blazer with the belt, all in blue that matches the jodhpurs, with polished golden buttons and a black buckle. Also has a white sash extending from under his epilets to just below the blazer's belt. Attached to the epilets by wrapping around the seems and fastning onto the buttons is a cape that matches his boots. White shirt done up all the way to the top, with a beige cravat of adverage length wrapped around his neck underneith the collar. Generally an easy going guy with repectable morals, integraity and quite reliable, too.
Codename: None.
Team/Independent: Independent.
Weight Class: Light.
Style/Theme: Period military.
Description: It's head looks like a pickelhaube, with green spherical eyes, and metal pannel indents around it's jaw. The head is red, save the pickelhaube which is silver, and a pannel indent where a mouth would be, which is green. It's slim in design, with a cape that is torn, and weathered, as it's hard to find a replacement cape for a robot in our day and age. It's legs have knee-length white guards with a single, curved black triangle pointing up each of them. It's leg are red, it's hips are white, and the torso is red with two orange square pannels on it's chest. The upper arms are white, leading down to bulkier forearms in red, with a rapid fire weapon inbedded in each wrist.
Strengths: Has an in-built seldom-used stereo
Flaws: Doesn't play casettes.
Weapons: The wrist guns, and the pickelhaube has a green laser in the front.
Exertion Technique: The pickelhaube spike charges and fires a high insensity laser capable of cutting up to standard armour from its tip. It also has a slight risk of cancer for it's user and it's victim's pilot.


William trudged through the desert in his M/ECA. The wind blew his ragged and torn cape behind him, creating wind drag but looking impressive. He climbed over the dune.

"Ah!" He switched open the radio line "Hey! Herr McDonald! We made it! Are the others arriving, soon?" He pressed on, to reach him.

Profile
-Pilot-
Name: Flynn Rausch
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Orientation: Bisexual
Species: Wolf
Description: 5'6", 140lbs, white fur with light gray wolf markings. He always dresses very casually, even for typically formal occasions. He wears square framed glasses and never combs his headfur. He has a cobalt neckchain he always wears, ostensibly for luck. He has an affinity for the colour blue, as represented by his M/ECA and blue beam weapons.

-M/ECA-
Codename: Valek
Team/Independent: Independant
Weight Class: Ultralight
Style/Theme: Focus on speed and stealth capabilities. Hovers rather than walks for optimum performance in various environments.
Description: A six and a half foot blue blur, Valek was designed to be at least as fast as any other M/ECA on the field, defeating adversaries with speed and technique rather than raw power. It is humanoid in its design, dark blue with small red accents on the chest plate, legs, and forearms. It's plated in a thin layer of crystalline armour that allows it to blend into its environment, as well as deflect most of the damage of energy based attacks. Its weapon systems are designed for burst surprise attacks, disable enemy weapons systems from the outset for an easy victory.
Strengths: Speed, technique, dodging, and avoiding detection.
Flaws: Fragile, lacking any real power head on.
Weapons:
OUTBOARD
Pair of beam kunai - short, blue-beamed weapons used in very close range or to be thrown. Has a return module installed to return the kunai to Valek after their deployment.
Beam scythe - weapon of choice. Long range, fast, and effective at keeping distance, its blue beam can cut through a variety of metals.

INTEGRATED
Laser whip - a ten foot long blue-laser whip, best used in tandem with another weapon to disable, disarm, or distract an opponent. Lacks any damaging power. Strictly a tactical weapon.
Wolf claw - a short, blue laser blade is emited from the wrists on each arm, used both in defense and offense.
Soul fist - a blue, Hadou-Ken type attack
Stealth module - bends light around Valek, rendering it invisible to the naked eye and sensors alike. The blades of his beam weapons are not made invisible.

Exertion Technique: Ice Wolf Bite - Channeling all the energy from the crystalline armour and available energy, Valek releases a massive, blue, Shinkuu-Hadou-Ken style beam attack, disabling most anything it hits. Use of the technique renders the reflective armour useless.
----------------------------------

Flynn smiled as he felt Valek blend out of the specturm of visible light. It was always a liberating feeling, being invisible. He grabbed the haft of his trusty beamscythe. "How many times have we done this, old friend?" He spun it invisibly a few times for artistic flair that no one but himself could appreciate.

He checked the sensor readings. He picked up two M/ECAs not far off. "They won't even see me coming." He smiled again as he felt Valek's vernier thrusters activate, hurtling him unseen through the empty miles at breakneck speed.

Integrated: Plasma enhanced claws, left shoulder beam rifle that folds back behind his back,
Exertion Technique: The mouth of the wolf's head opens up and charges a partical beam cannon that is very powerful but takes a minute or to to charge)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Disturbed lived within his large house in which not to far from was a very large garage type building apart from the house that held his various parts aswell as his M/ECA battle suit. The large wolf was sitting in the large living room on the sofa with remote in hand watching the M/ECA news channel with all updated news from the day. His tail patted the sofa's cushion as he watched on untill his ears twitched hearing footsteps and he tilted his head back "Oh hey," he smiled slightly as a blue furred wolfess looked down at him from behind the sofa.

"You're always watching that stuff," she giggled and held out a diet soda "Here you go," saying in a sweet tone and smiled.

"Thanks sis," he smiled as he untwised the bottle and gulped down a good portion of it "Yeah just catching up on the day's news...why?"

"Well its just you spend so much time with you big fights and matches, tuning up your suit thing we never spend any time together," her ears drooped slightly as her head laid on the sofa.

The big black wolf sighed deeply as he new he was cornered "After this we'll go out okay? I'll take you shopping, use up some more of that prize money I won from my last battle," he smiled and caressed her sister's cheek who murred softly then hugged him around the neck.

Exertion Technique:

Starlight Destructor - With a backup power source and nuclear cartridges that stored at the middle of the armor near Mitsuki, is enough to launch the blue-yellow beam sphere through the rifle and destroy the enemy completely.


-------------------------------------------------------------

Mitsuki sitting under the shady tree while reading a thick book. It was a M/ECA technical book, contains an updated information of how to repair the armor in critical situation, such as at the middle of war. Her armor is quite old and it's very rare to find anywhere, because that kind of armor facing a major difficulties during war. The manufacturer stopped producing this armor for safety purposes.

But for Mitsuki, this kind of armor is very special; the design, internal system and ancient power source. It was designed by the famous armor technician and designer that time, after Mitsuki become one of the warrior. Till now, the armor still functioning at tip top condition after performing a major modification without changing the original design.

[senjuro]

Flynn, smirked as he approached the two M/ECAs from behind. He stopped about 50 feet away and clicked a button, detailed analyses of both of the machines popping up on the holographic display. "Not much to disable on these two..." He pulled a laser kunai out in one hand, the other still gripping the haft of his scythe. "Guess it's more integrated weapons for them." He entered a series of complicated button presses to fine tune Valek's assault profile for the skirmish. Satisfied with the readout on energy efficiency, speed, and sensor acuity, he drew back to throw the kunai to disable one of the M/ECA's plasma blade.

"Sorry pal. Business is business." With lightning speed, the kunai flew forward, blazing into life. Before it had even made contact, he sped toward the other M/ECA, beam scythe at the ready to deliver a flurry of blows.

[Herr Mullen]

"Ak!" shouted William, hopping back out of the earlier invisible M/ECA, and raising up his hands pointed at the wrist of the hand holding the whip, and launched a short volly against it.

[DragonMasterX]

-Pilot-
Name: Serra Lainstain.
Age: 19
Gender: Female.
Orientation: Disclosed, yet.
Species: Dragoness.
Description: Stands at six feet of height. Quite slim built, black scales and lite-blue, prism colored short hair. Has a very attractive chest in sight. She barely takes her suit off, but it looks like as a very tight leotard by visual concern. She's essentially a teaser for males and some females, her eyes are the same color of her hair and they can be hypnotic to weak minds.

-M/ECA-
Codename: Weyr.
Team/Independent: Indepentdent.
Weight Class: Heavy.
Style/Theme: Fight, Disable and Steal.
Description: Stands at nine feet. It isn't what it looks like, besides its great weight, this armor can actually move at great speeds with the thrusters installed on its legs, these are special parts bought at an alarming expensive cost, but they are made of adamantite, a rare metal found in ST699, the main mineral planet on the second galaxy next to the milky-way, so the thrusters not only add exceptional movility to Weyr, but they are also hard to disable.
Strengths: Exceptionally Powerful Attacks, most look like agressive, but are meant to disable other M/ECA's. Has a well rounded defense in both the Plasma Field and it's Titanium Plating.
Flaws: Proportionally slow when it comes to attacking, despise it's nice movility.
Weapons:

Integrated:
Arms: Six-pack Launchers: Activated from the shoulders, they carry six plasma missiles each, only two loads for each shoulder.

Legs: NONE. Thrusters take all the optional weapons that would be able to be placed here.

Torso: NONE. Is equipped with a powerful reactor that is meant to go in a Megaton unit, so it can't have anything else equipped in this section.

Back: Support Pack: Activated in emergency situations, can spawn three different weapons when Outboard weapons cease function. Stolen Weapons can be stored in the Support Pack.

Head: NONE. Is equipped with special scope lens that boosts view range and prevents sensor jamming, so it can't have anything else equipped in this section.

Outboard:

Plasma Scythe: Large rod with an energy blade at the tip.

Support Swallow: Can come out of the Support Pack. Large oar made of energy.

Support Katana: Can come out of the Support Pack. Long sword made of energy.

Support Rifle: Can come out of the Support Pack. Reloadable weapon that shoots pellets made of energy at Mach3.


Exertion Technique: Celerity - Cuts energy reserve by half and boosts plasma (energy) weapons to three times their normal strength.


OOC: Are we all in the same planet? Just checking.

IC:

Dust blew in front of Weyr's head, the navigation system was operating into an optimal summary though. It was impressive how Serra liked to expend all her money after a single battle, she had supercharged her M/ECA like no other, but she still hadn't enough of it. She was starting to decide to do other things to get more profit than slaying in conventional mettings at the arenas and such.

It was then that Serra came into view with a lone M/ECA, it was certainly alone in the wilderness of the section of the planet she was in. Of course it was coincidence, but she started to think about how much money she'd make out of parts of other M/ECAs if she were to sell them. I need the money... wether if I become a criminal for doing this out the arena... I don't care! Serra thought, then suddenly Weyr withdrew his Plasma Scythe when Serra had visualized the other peaceful M/ECA turning around, she didn't know the pilot, but she didn't care either.


Suddenly, over at least half of the planet a huge blast would be able to be heard
