The date is the 12th of January, 2012. The end of the world is upon us, or so the crazier amongst us are saying. Little did we believe that they would be right. Dimensional portals have been opening across the planet, spewing out things from our imaginations, videogames, stories, movies, anything we could dream of. Mechs, Walkers from all forms of fiction have arrived on our planet, and they all seem set to tear the world to pieces as they fight for death, honour and control of the lands.
Welcome to a Role Playing Game set in today’s world, with the Mechs of Tomorrow! I am Jakeman214, and I shall be your Game Master for the duration of this wonderful RPG. The rules are simple. Up to six Players (That’s you!) will each choose a Mech/Walker/etc from their favourite Sci-Fi setting and become it’s pilot. This rag-tag group of pilots and Mechs shall be thrown out of a portal together and they shall then play the game as best they can, to any goal they so wish to achieve, be it world domination or the destruction of all who seek to disrupt the peace on Earth. In the beginning you will all be on the same team and I will be playing the bad guys/NPCs and such. Essentially, I’ll be throwing the problems at you, and if this all works out we *may* move to a PvP setting with different teams.
Saying that, here are the rules!
1. To join you will have to PM me the information on your pilot and their Mech.
2. Wait for my confirmation that you are in the game. Remember, I am the GM, therefore I am GOD in this game. Make it fun for all, and I’ll make sure to make it fun for you!
3. You have control of your Pilot/Mech only, other Players post what their Pilot/Mech does. I post/control what the NPC’s do. When posting, please play In Character, use spoilerboxes for Out Of Character talk. OOC for short.
4. For your Mech: Your First Mech must not have any more than 2 weapons, and must be a generic and weak Mech. Give it some time to build up to Stupid powerful levels. Also, ANY setting with Mechs is considered fair game. This includes but is not limited to: Battletech (MechWarrior stuff), Warhammer 40k Walkers and Dreadnoughts, Gundams, Zoids, Knightmare Frames (Code Geass), etc. You get the picture.
5. Have fun!

HL Body (Basic HOLY type body, no upgrades)
HL2Roller (Basically 2 legs, with wheels in the heel that can be used to give speeds of up to 60 K/h)
Jet Black Color
Shoulders: 1x G24 Slingshot grenade launcher (Low blast radius, but high damage on direct impact)
Arms: 2x No. 30 SV Gun (Basic machine gun)
Other Upgrades: OCGVB (Optic Camoflauge, gives near-invisibilty in short bursts. Long time to recharge before another burst)
Now, the thing with mechs from Phantom Crash is that they aren't that big. They are around the size of a modern tank. However, they excel at speed and stealth.

Iron Fang, andy25100, you guys are in! Iron-Bjorn as a NORMAL dread, he'll get his venerable upgrade later. andy-I've seen the Halo animated shorts, no abusing that Mech!
Sti_Jo_Lew, yes the Phantom Crash mechs are awesome as, I have that game and love it! You can have up to 4 weapons on any of the three Chassis, but keep your weapons low tier please. They are also rather light mechs, as 2-4 120mm Cannon shells are enough to destroy any of the three Mechs.
I still want a few more players then I'll type up the beginning post.
Tabi no tochū.

Hope you don't mind I swapped on of the weapons for the basic OC.
Oh, and there's a picture of what this model of mech looks like, different weapons though.

YAY, all we need is a couple more people and we can enjoy a mechbased rpg

And so it is time for the opening post. Let the RPG BEGIN!
In the heart of Downtown Detroit a giant blue shimmering portal opened up with a loud screech, like nails being dragged down a chalkboard. People on the street stopped and stared, their Tuesday mornings interrupted by this sudden outbreak of madness. Curiosity quickly turned to panic as a 20 foot tall BattleMech stepped out of it, crushing 10 or so people under one of its feet. It moved forwards and the portal collapsed, the BattleMech looking around as its pilot tried to ascertain what just happened. He shrugged and moved onwards, crushing more pedestrians. At the next intersection 2 brave Police Officers fired upon the giant Mech and only served to annoy it. The Cougar Scout Mech lowered one of its arms and blasted the poor police with a single Large Pulse Laser shot, leaving them as a smoking crater 3 feet wide. As the Mech took a step into the intersection, 3 new portals opened up on each of the three streets to its left, front and right, leaving the street it just came from portal free.
From the left portal came a smaller Humanoid type Mech, about 8 feet tall, very compact and military looking. From the right portal another small Mech burst forth, skidding to a halt in wonder at its new surroundings. A squat round pod with arms and legs human style, it raised its arms and readied its guns, wheels ready to run. From the center portal stepped out a medium sized Mech but still small to the Cougar, a heavily armoured behemoth that stood 12 feet tall and looked fearsome. Its two power claws crackled with energy and the twin stormbolters underneath looked nasty adn meant business.
The Cougar stepped back and looked at the situation. Its pilot triggered the Comms switch, broadcasting on an open channel. “This is Captain Jake Rain, commander of the 3rd Scout Lance, Bravo Company, The Avengers Mercenary Regiment. All Mech’s identify yourselves and stand down or you will be fired upon.” He ordered coolly, authority in his voice. His hands remained firmly in place over the controls, fingers upon his triggers.
Tabi no tochū.

The pilot of the central mech turns Bjorn to face the cougar.
"Iron and what is it to do with you?" the comms crackle with the portal's energy as the pilot spoke he moved his right hand making the right power claw comes into life.
The HOLY type scoobee turns to face the larger, intimidating mech. "Err... My name is Sti. What the hell is going on? I was in the middle of a match, it was going to pay for my rent this week!"
Spoiler! :
I find it funny that everyone else chose a mech that is about the size of Jake's mech's foot.
SMWasder: BEGONE FOUL BEATS, FOR I AM THE DJ OF THE APOCALYPSE
The portals behind each of the three new Mechs closed up with the sound of a choir ending sadly, each blue tear in the fabric of space-time receding into nothingness.
Captain Rains keyed his mike once more. “Iron, stand down. I have no wish to fry you. Yet. Sti, I do not know what is going on, only that a blue portal opened before me and I was compelled, no, drawn into it. Where we are I do not know. And you said something about paying rent, are you a mercenary as well?”
As Captain Rains finished talking, his display light up with two fast moving blips. “All Mechs, be wary. I have two fast moving contacts, probably the local world’s Militia Fast-Jets on recon patrol. We don’t yet know what the onworld Militia’s strength is, so try not to fire on them unless provoked.” He ordered, dropping straight into command mode. Stupid! These aren’t my soldiers to command. They had best take heed of my warning though, I don’t want to be slagged by Militia before getting my bearings.
Overhead, two F-16s with a full ground attack loadout roared past. It had been sparsely 15 minutes since Mechs had begun appearing all over Detroit, and only an hour since the first worldwide reports. Funnily, the first Mechs to appear out of the portals came from New Zealand. The lead fighter broadcast on open channels, hoping the Mech Pilots could hear him.
“This is Major Stonewall, United States Air Force F-16 Fighter pilot to all Mech’s in the city of Detroit. You are ordered to stand down and make your way out of the city to the south. There is a camp being set up for you to get information and Rest, Repairs and Recovery. If you do not comply you will be regarded as Hostile to the United States of America and due force will be used to subdue, cripple and/or destroy any Hostiles as deemed necessary to protect the United States and her Citizens. United States Army assets are being sent to each individual Mech or group of Mechs to guide you out of the city and to the designated area.”
Spoiler! :
@Sti, its fair, considering that BattleTech and MechWarrior is one of the MOST POPULAR Mech settings! And I choose one of the smaller Mechs too! Andy’s Mech is really an armoured Battlesuit, so its gonna be interesting to see how this all pans out.
@Everybody- So the choice is there for your next move. Do you want to go solo and take on the US Military? Do you want to follow the US Military’s orders and head for camp (and maybe the loss of your mech/imprisonment)? Do you want to run? Do you want to band together and start the fun? Its all up to you guys!
Tabi no tochū.
Proud Queenslander, reminding the New South Welshmen exactly WHY they keep losing the State of Origin.
My mech may be small, but you should never underestimate your enemies & i'll go with the army but if they try anything funny with my mech it won't end well for all sides involved.

Sti thinks for a second, then follows Iron to the camp. As he walks, he looks around for possible escape routes if things go haywire. There's no way he can take on the entire US army.
SMWasder: BEGONE FOUL BEATS, FOR I AM THE DJ OF THE APOCALYPSE
Ok guys, here's the deal. I want you guys to act in character, posting what your characters would do as if you were them. I'll still be GM'ing, but you guys need to play along too!
Good Luck and Happy Hunting.
Captain Rains watched Iron, Sti and the other Mech all turn and begin walking towards the south west, following West Fort Street, heading towards the industrial heart of Detroit and the Camp being set up by the US Army, down by the railyards. The two F-16's above were joined by more and more fighters of all types. Hmm, There must be alot more mechs in the city than before if they are deploying more and more airpower. Rains thought to himself. As he turned to catch up with the other three Mechs, his comms chattered to life.
"-der heavy fire! Oh God, they just blew James to hell!" a paniced voice said, and an explosion occured off to the center of the city, just to the right of Captain Rains.
"Return fire! Use the buildings for cover and keep moving! Those fighters will be on us any second now! ANY body listening on this frequency, this is Charlie Lance, Bravo Company, 12th Lyran Guards! We are under heavy fire from hostile tanks and aircraft and require assistance! We've already lost a Mech!"
Rains thought for a second, then moved towards the East and the city center. His current contract was with the Lyran Commonwealth, and had been for 10 years. He keyed his mike. "Charlie Lance, this is Captain Rains, Avengers Mercenary Regiment. Move to the West, I'm on my way to help. How many Mechs do you have left?"
"Thank God! I've got 3 Uziel Medium Mechs, including myself. We had an Uller, but those tanks killed James!"
"How many tanks?" Captain Rains cut in.
"At least a company!" The voice replied.
"Alright, I'm nearly there. I'll make a distraction pass, then form your lance up on me."
"Copy that!"
As Rains finished giving his order, an A-10 Warthog broke from high cover and dived towards his Cougar. His tac display lit up with a warning, and he turned the Mech. He wasn't quick enough, and the Warthog pilot fired two AGM-44 Maverick missiles at the Cougar. Rains fired two bursts of his pulse lasers anyways, and one lucky shot hit the big plane as it pulled up. The laser blast slammed into the bottom of the Warthog, and the plane exploded in a ball of flames. The two missiles streaked ahead, their target locked. Jake Rains stepped his Mech behind a building, and the two missiles plowed into it and detonated, blowing half the apartment block into rubble.
Maybe helping the Lyrans isn't such a good idea after all... Rains thought to himself.
~~~~~~
Meanwhile, an armoured coloumn of 12 M1 Abrams tanks made their way towards Iron, Sti and Ghost. 4 of the tanks stopped and the rest kept moving into the city. From one of the stopped tanks an Officer appeared with a loudspeaker. "Mechs, please follow the first tank back to the Camp. For your safety the remaining 3 tanks of my platoon will escort behind you. There is a battle breaking out in the city centre. Move out then!" the Lieutenant ordered, one tank leading the way and the other three manouevering behind the 3 Mechs.
Tabi no tochū.

I'll take part in this roleplaying of yours, Stupid Lyrans probably fired the first shot as these humans seem friendly enough for now.

Sti also thinks something fishy is going on, but decides to go a long with it. The people here have probably never even seen Optic Camo, so they definetly won't have any preventive measures for it. If things go south, Sti will just slip away under his mechs cloak.
