The Red War

[Wug]

Humanity has landed on the red planet. The scientists who were sent to explore the planet made a shocking discovery. There was life on mars, but not some technologically advanced race, but strange creatures that had the same anatomy of a human but resembling reptiles. The Martians were peaceful, and almost stupid when compared to human intellect, although they were physically superior, they were no threat to humanities colonization of the planet. It took many decades until humanity had a firm grasp on the red planet and had established a solid government. Its populous living inside a few large cities which were protected by massive domes, strong enough to withstand the Martian sand storms.

All started well, Mars was a unified planet, humans and Martians lived side by side with little problems. Many Martians started to speak the human tongues and the two races grew even closer together. It was a great time of peace. But now two hundred years later, that peace is but a lost dream, Mars is engulfed in hate. The Red Queen, the leader of the radical group known as the Red Wings, self proclaimed rulers of Mars, have started to enslave the Martian people, and eradicating anyone who stands in there way. The Red Wings had many generals that struck fear into any of the rebel forces that they engaged. These generals were so great that simply hearing that they were coming to the battle dealt a harsh blow to troop moral. With there superior numbers and weaponry the red wings seemed unstoppable. They took four of the six large dome metropolises, and have fixed there sights on the remaining rebel strongholds of Anarch and Tepitaph.

Now the rebelion stands against the Queen's might, and their fate will be decided in the battles to come.
---------------------------------------------------------

Major Locations- Red wing Controlled domes-

Krete: The capital of the Red Wing Empire, were the Red Queen resides. This is a shining metropolis where most of the upper class of Mars resides, it is protected by the Queens Red Knights (The Rebel General wolf was once a Red Knight and still dawns the armor but has changed the colors).

Dragonav- major industrial area, also where most Martian slaves are held. The mines in this dome supply the raw materials that fuel the Red Wing army.

Akre- Large factories are located in Akre, it is heavily fortified, and the people who live there are under martial law.

Chito- The smallest of the Red Wing's domes, Chito is often the sight of rebel uprisings, the people there live in poverty and have little food supplies.

Rebel controlled Domes:

Anarch- Anarch is protected by the Martian landscape. It is located in a valley surrounded by high mountain peaks, and rough terrain. This is why it has managed to stay out of the Red Wing's grasp.

Tepitaph- This city is located on the frontlines of the war. Most people who live here are in the rebel army. This is were the rebels major combat training academies are found.



OOC: Sorry if the description isn't so great D: this is my first attempt at starting an rp so please bare with me. Anyways! There is a war going on between the Red Wings ( They want to enslave all of the Martian people who are lizard like) and the rebels ( who fight for the equality of Martians, and consist of both martians and humans) and you are caught in between. You can choose a side or stay neutral! Now You can either create your own character or choose from the following!

Red Wing generals-

The Red Queen- http://zeo-x.deviantart.com/art/red-queen-46692141

The Red Hawks- http://zeo-x.deviantart.com/art/arash-a ... i-59483977 <--- You can play as both of them since they will need to have a strong chemistry, but they must both be active in order for them to be playable

The Reaper- http://zeo-x.deviantart.com/art/general-agmar-51131448

The Medusa- http://zeo-x.deviantart.com/art/Project-Medusa-79855893

The Snowman- http://zeo-x.deviantart.com/art/Project ... n-58671584

Rebel Generals-

Zeohander- http://zeo-x.deviantart.com/art/Zeohander-X-45948276

Wolf - http://zeo-x.deviantart.com/art/knight-44510410

Grekos -http://williamsquid.deviantart.com/art/Lizard-Man-46361503

Now its first come first serve so who ever claims the generals first is the general. Now if you are a general you have to remain loyal to your side and your cause, no switching sides please! Oh also you can have more than one character! So if you are a general and you also want to have a normal char you can! But there will be a three character limit! The reason I want you all to have more than one char is because this rp is kind of large in scale o.o but you don't have to have more than one character. Ok so here are the soldier classes!

-Mech Pilot - The number of mech pilots in the rp will be limited depending on how many people are in the rp. Now mechs in this world are not the mainstay force, but more like the last resort weapons. They are the big guns, but that dosn't mean they are invincible! They can be taken down by heavy weapons and traps, and they are not speed demons oh and they can't fly O.O. Also the mechs arnt gigantic, they are about the size of a two story house. Now the reason both factions get to choose from the same mechs is because the rebels can capture mechs o.o

The mechs you can choose from will be listed below

Mechs-

Heavy Assault Mech ( Good Armor and weaponry, but very slow, and vulnerable legs)- http://flyingdebris.deviantart.com/art/ ... h-38005281

Medium Assault Mech- http://flyingdebris.deviantart.com/art/ ... h-45526462

Light Assault Mech- http://flyingdebris.deviantart.com/art/ ... h-34052643

Scouting Mech ( greater speed, less armor and weaponry)- http://flyingdebris.deviantart.com/art/ ... h-44006285

Infantry

Red Wing-

Special Ops- http://zeo-x.deviantart.com/art/cyborg-ninja-45033176

Standard Infantry- http://zeo-x.deviantart.com/art/phucher ... a-40890735

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

Ok so that are the classes for Human soldier, but you don't have to be a soldier! Or even a human! You can be a normal person just trying to make it while the war wages around you! That doesn't mean you wont be dragged into the fighting O.O You can also be a Martian who falls into all of the other classes but they don't get armor x.x But they can pilot mechs! Martians cannot be Red Wing soldiers... you can play as a Martian under Red Wing oppression however D: Oh I also forgot to mention that you are welcomed to control a squad of npcs! This is a war after all so lone wolfs are rare...

Ok so this is what you need in order to joind =D

[OIL]

OOC: Uhh hey I have noting to do so im just gona do a opening for my character mabe kill a few npcs


IC: A rebel walked casually across the roof top his armour making a slight taping noise as he moved. He stopped on the edge gazing down at the units being trained below. “why am I always on patrol when its time for lunch Im so hungry” he moaned “always this exact time” he sighed before turning around to carry on his patrol.
“Why am I always on patrol when its time for lunch.” Repeated a strange metallic voice. The rebel stopped moving and stood still checking it was his mind. The voice rung out again but louder slightly. Slamming his gun to his shoulder the rebel started to spin around quickly at each little sound until finally he calmed down lowering his gun and rasing his hand to his visor. Shaking his head in confused imagining it was just hunger messing around with his mind. Deimos rose slowly behind the guard sliding out one of his katanas tilting his head the metallic voice rung out again. “im so hungry” with that Deimos slammed the blade through the guard’s chest severing his main arteries around his heart before slicing up and ripping his spine out of his body. The blood sprayed up into the air raining down upon Deimos before his cloaking cut out and he appeared his armour glinting slightly in the sun with the wet blood trickling down. Sheathing the blade Deimos walked to the edge of the building gazing down upon the new recruits. Under his helmet a vicious grin spread across his face.

[Ottoman]

IC:
Xavier exhaled in the cold Martian night, giving off an eeire orangish gas cloud. He looked to his Pulse Rifle, seeing that the magazine was full with forty-two rounds remaining. He sighed thinking, Why? Why must millions die just because someone is racist... It didn't make sense to him, being as how he has alway just let other people live their life, and let him live his. Just then, a flash, with a slowly fading light. More flares... he thought, they're trying to make us move, then they'll shell the hell out of us with that god foresaken artillerey... wont that be pleasant! He allowed himself a emotionless chuckle. The rocky crags provided excellant defense against nearly anything, except their damnable gas! Confound and damn whichever one of those generals is in charge of this force. They don't even have the balls to attack us head on. Just then one of his squadmates, and possibly, his best freind, Monk, came inching by on his belly, turned to Xavier and said,

"Hey, Otto, they say that they're gonna start shellin' soon, want to head over and see if you can squeeze into Lastic's hole?"

Xavier chuckled, "Naw, I don't think I'll head over, I'm fine in my little crevase right here. Want some Joe?" Lastic was short for Elastic, the Lieutenant's nickname, and being squad commander, his pillbox was the biggest. But Xavier also knew, that by being in the most important pillbox also made you the most important target, so you would be dead in about thirty seconds from the beginning of the barrage.

"Sure, I'll take some," muttered Monk, who was the most pious of the group, which didn't mean much. Xavier pourd him a tin of it and passed it over,

"There you are, my freind, careful about the handle, gets really warm really quick." He pulled a sock out of the brewing pot and put it on. Then, grasping his own tin he raised it, announcing, "Here's to sleepin' with Amber 'n Myr!" Monk heartily knocked his tin against Xavier's and they both guzzled the contents quickly, while the topic of who they were toasting to, were two female members of the squad, both of which over-heard and were over in second flinging such curses at the two that even Monk, in his church going days never even heard from his pastor.

Just then, they heard the raoring of Artillerey from across the lines, and all were on the ground except for Ottoman when the shells started hitting the ground. "If it whistles, it's not your shell, the one for you whispers. Besides, we got nothing to worry about, either it hits you or it dosen't." Then, the Lietenant's Bunker erupted in a flower bloom of fire, which most of the squad was staying in. And beside them landed the Lietenants arm, rank patch still visible.

Monk then ripped the patch off and handed it to Xavier, the highest ranking member of the remaining group and said with grim humor, "Looks like you just got promoted."

[OIL]

OOC: nice otto u in man oi and selik join inyou know

[Ottoman]

OOC: We need more people...

[Ottoman]

IC: Xavier, laughing humorisly admitted, "We're screwed aren't we?"

Monk, laughing his ass off, confirmed the fact, "I say we move before the continue with an Aerial landing." His advice did not go ignored.

Xavier, being now the commanding officer of a squad of three, decided that it was time for a tactical retreat, "I say we pull back to the triple A bunker, and wait out the seige, what d'y'all think?" He inquiered with a disturbing air of seriousness.

"Uhm," stated Myr, "you're squad lead, you don't have to ask us," She ducked slightly as martian soil landed around them, they'd need to move soon, the artillerey barrage would end, and they would send in the Shocks.

"Alright then," Xavier said crouching, "let's haul ass." He strated trotting off back towards the lines, and the others followed. As the artillerey barrage slowed, they could hear the engines of the dropships above them...

[OIL]

OOC:otto we dont need more people we shall NPC the boss characters if no one joins but they cant die in one hit they must take a beating.

IC: Deimos ducked as a stray shell hit the group of rebel recruits that were scurying through the streets. He laughed to himself as the burnt bodies rolled around on the floor and the faint screams of a lone soldier drifted up to the rooftops were he was standing. He was tempted to drop down and finish off the soldier but that wasnt his target, his was to ensure the death of a traitor of his race that had given poistions of the Red Wing troops for the comfort of safety but how safe is it really? Deimos turned quickly and started to make his way across the rooftops of a city that would seen be the grave of so many rebels.

Deims stoped gazing at a building with its window open. He rose his hand up to his helmet and pushed down on a small button his invisibilty turning off quickly. A few symbols flashed up on his visor before he flicked another button changing his vision. The walls to the building faded into green numbers that scrolled up and down rappidly before focusing in and making a green outline of the rooms. A red figure moved from room to room before sitting down on a random chair and trying to block out the noise of the war outside. Deimos flicked off the computer image his visor flickering back to normal and his camoflauge flickering up around him untill he was invisible ounce more. He took two steps back before he through himself at the window tumbling through it and towards the target. He drew one of his katanas and flicked his stealth off with one hand before he pushed off the floor with his feet and into the air, forcing the blade down onto the target with his body weight before kicking off the target and slicing the head in two. He glanced up at the high roof and launched up there quickly using a small grapple hook that was built onto his arms armour. Small hooks jutted out of his finger tips and out of the bottom of his feet so they clamped him onto the roof, he still held his blade in one hand before he slid it onto his back and waited for the areas war to stop. His hand wich he had used to put his blade away he had used to flcik his stealth back on before he clinged onto the ceiling with it.

[Ottoman]

Xavier's misfit squad trotted along the battered and crateed landscape, towards the far off target of the AAA emplacment, Xavier knew that even if they did make it there, all of them alive, they would stand little chance of surviving the next wave. The Aerial Wave, he thought to himself, they'll be using Heavy Exosuit troops as shock troops. Damn. "Everyone, those Reds'll start dropping Shock troops soon, their armor is weakest at the Neck and above the Groin plate, understood?" He then waited what seemed like an eternity for an answer...

"Acknowleged," The whole squad chimed in over the BattleComm. The Barrage finally stopped at that point, the dawn could be seen barely creeping over the horizon, the Redish-Orange glow of the land could be seen in the air... Up the semi-steep hill, the AAA started firing potshots at the Red dropships, waiting just out of range for the order to be given to attack. Just then, a rocket launch, (OOC:Rockets can go farther than Kinetic Projectiles? Right?) leaving a rope of white smoke in its wake, it connected with on of the dropships, causing it to lose power in its starboard engine and fall to the surface in a bloom of fire. The others(dropships) seeing this as an offensive action began their assault.

"Alright!" barked Xavier over the comm, "We're going to advance in pairs, one pair going forwards while the other covers, and once the pair that's advancing get's a certain distance, we switch roles, allowing the others time to advance, and the others to cover, understood?"

"Yes sir," acknoledged Myr, "But who goes first?" Just as she finished an energy bolt from one of the Shock troop's weapons took off the forth member's head, leaving a crimson fountain. "Amber!" Shrieked Myr in a mix of disgust, horror, and sadness for her freind, as she sat over her her sobs nearly deafened Xavier as he grabbered her by the arm, looked into her eyes and barked,

"She's dead! Leave her by god or I'll kill you under charges of insubordination!" Now they were in a tight spot, with a chink in the plan, they just had to run on, while the Red Dawn came, with Tracers, Rockets, Plasma Fire, Dropsihps, and more shock troops.
