Mechasexual RP, eh? Well, even if no one else pops up, sign me the fuck up. XD Didn't think I'd find a sandbox but hey, sandboxes are among one of my favorite video game genres~ Not sure if I wanna do a robot or a human. Probably a human at first but I'll see if anyone nabs a certain hope bot for a face claim before making a second character. XD Either way, count me in!

@Guardian This RP appeals to the inner mechasexual in all of us. XD Sandbox pretty much means everything is free-roam and we don't necessarily need a plot unless we get more people who want to do stuff. XD
Kiibo's a bit hard to look for pics now especially after Chapter 6. XD I'll be waiting for a character then. XD

I shall throw my hat into the ring too then, never tried this before~

Now I might have two characters, a human and robot, if that's okay. Q.Q

@Guardian
I love that reaction. I really do. XD

Cheers~

A sci-fi roleplay? No celebrity face claims? ABOUT ROBOTS? *Bastion ult noises*

Where do I sign, baby?! I haven't roleplayed in fo-evah, and I've been suffering creative sterility as a result. I think I'd make a robot character, but, not sure what sort of character I want to play yet. Still, funnily enough, this roleplay has some very similar concepts to some story ideas of mine (the idea of robot societies living on after humans fell, comparisons to the dinosaurs, possibilities of robots keeping humans sheltered and safe like zoo animals, and so on). Nice to see that there's already interest here.

Any chance of being able to communicate with roleplayers on Skype or Discord? That definitely helps as a GM, and keeps your players engaged and lets players cooperate to come up with greater ideas.

Hello! This looks cool but I have a question...

Is there a human military or is all defense run by robots? I ask this because my idea for a character is a female human pilot capible of flying both fighters and troop dropships.

I set up a rough character sheet. If you have any issues with it, DeathScythe, be sure to PM me. I'll be working to improve the character sheet in the meantime.

Yo. I think I would like to be in this. I'm going away for a bit so if I come crawling back later (two weeks I think) please let me in or like if I do make a character before I go just know that character isn't going to be active for a bit. Anyway, this is awesome and should be fun. :)

Whoa, I didn't expect I'd get this many players! Thanks for taking interest in the roleplay, you all! I'll be waiting for everyone's characters; you're all cleared!

@Iced Fire In other regions, the human military is a bit torn and ragged from Last Eden but they do still exist. In Prometheus, though, they've only recently started letting in humans so there's only a handful of humans working in the security and military units.

@HolyJunkie Your character's looking pretty good! Haven't seen any problems with it.

@Lloyd999 I haven't really gotten around to using Skype due to my computer having a lot of problems when it comes to certain programs; the least I could probably do for this place is a Chatzy, I guess if that works.

@CabbageAngel Yeah, I'll take note of it. It'll be up to you to find a way to incorporate your character in the ongoing posting though, and you could probably send us an alert here in the OOC when you get back. :)

Anyway, I'll be working on my second character (human) for now, so let's all try our best to make this a fun roleplay! XD

Ahh, why?

So My character will be a bit late, I lost all momentum and now ran into a writers block now.... Q w Q

I'll work on it tomorrow....

Sorry. Q.Q

Well, that's fine. I've been only really using Discord anyway. You don't need to download it to use it, you can use it online, and people don't have to spend too much time to make an official account.

Lloyd999 · **Tips:** 0.00 INK by **Lloyd999** on Tue Jan 17, 2017 11:46 pm

Ah, and yes, I've come up with more ideas now. I'd love to develop this world a little more. Like, exactly how do the machines govern over humans? Do they really see them as masters, as equals, or as their burden, their pets. Perhaps there is disagreeing ideologies and fashions. Perhaps there are more humanist parties who seek greater power and freedom granted to humans, while there are other groups that seek efficiency and improvement of machines, and the complete domination of humankind in order to keep them safe and orderly. Perhaps I could make a robot who is working for a sort of higher authority or organization who perhaps is leading the Styx team, if not at least monitoring, for other interests.

And what of these violent scavengers and such we keep hearing of? Something tells me there is a division of interest here, between those who willingly give up their freedom to machines for comfort, and those who refuse to give up their freedom. I imagine all these humans living under the care of machines probably are presented very little that's negative about them, but those scavengers and those who resist the dominance of machines probably see them in an entirely different light. I can only imagine that the machines are likely trying to expand their dominance and claim as many regions as possible, perhaps for resources or more potential centers of operation, or to claim more 'survivors' and bring them under their 'protection', which some might view as giving up freedom. I can imagine all kinds of terrible rumors (which may perhaps be true) are spread through the remaining untouched pockets of humanity. Meanwhile, the humans under the care of the machines would be none the wiser. Perhaps it would be fun to have some scavenger characters, or explore the societal dynamics of the human tribes that live in fear of the machines.

I'd love to see this world developed more, and perhaps it there could be a potential hidden plot of intrigue, where the truth is always being obfuscated. I mean, the loyal humans are probably fed all kinds of indoctrination, whereas the outside humans are possibly very biased, or at least it isn't clear if they should be taken at face value because not all of them are very good either. And machines? Well, they can always have their memory-banks changed, or be reprogrammed to work on Big Brother Bot's every whim, probably without them having realized it. Perhaps every robot might have some hidden subroutine in them that only activates under specific circumstances. The conspiracy theories can be endless!

My idea was that like humans, machines differ from place to place. The Prometheus machines are benevolent, if not a tad bit overprotective, but other machines could possibly be malevolent and wish harm upon the humans- like the type of machine you'd usually see in post-apocalyptic, "robots take over the world" plotlines. So far our story will mostly take place in Prometheus, but other future plotlines may require travel to other regions. When I was making the RP I made it so that the machines and humans were equals, but that could possibly apply only to Prometheus and some certain areas.

On the topic of Styx, I actually planned for there to be a group behind the Styx radiation outbreak- we would get that info after we find out about Nagisa's attacker, since I'm allowing people to have their own character storylines. Ah, I almost forgot- you guys can have storylines for your characters that you can discuss here in the OOC with the other players! Other characters can feel free to go for those storylines, and it could probably lead to more character relationship development or even plot development, which you can talk over with me.

Now on the scavengers we heard about in both my characters' backstories, these scavengers popped up around a little after Last Eden, where everyone was so desperate to survive that they were willing to kill and destroy. Some of them still exist- such as the group that attacked Nagisa's region- and it's possible that they could be fighting for other reasons as well. Your idea for other characters that aren't in Prometheus is good, and we can probably include them as the plot goes on.

I initially started this roleplay as a little joke and test- let's just say it sprang from a crack idea of an otome game with mechas as the love interests- but I'm pretty glad there are some people that share the idea of a post-apocalyptic world where machines aren't all monstrous beings. Keep the suggestions incoming, you guys and we can probably make a clear plot out of it all somehow!

You've got something pretty neat here! I may toss in a robot at some point within the next couple of days.

If there is still room to join, I can roll up either a robot or human over the weekend. And if allowed, I'd be interested in taking a spot as a possible reoccurring antagonist.

DeathScythe386 · **Tips:** 0.00 INK by **DeathScythe386** on Fri Jan 20, 2017 2:37 am

Yeah, you guys can join in! The possibilities for the number of players here is endless. XD

@R.T.M.X I'll shoot you a PM soon to discuss plot ideas, if you have any for your antagonist then. You're clear to make one and it would be interesting to have one in the RP. :)

So then-- I'm still waiting for the others to finish their characters, so if any problems had come up with creating your characters or if real life decided to screw around and get in your way, please inform me. In the meantime I've created a small chat for us to keep in better touch. Still a newbie to that site, so if there are any problems I'm still going to have to work them out.

DeathScythe386 · **Tips:** 0.00 INK by **DeathScythe386** on Tue Jan 24, 2017 5:13 am

The starting post is up! For now it's just my two characters, but when everyone's gathered I'll start the briefing scene. While waiting, everyone can interact with each other.
