Hey there, thanks for dropping by. So I have a lot of time these days alone with my thoughts in the lab and I realised that I really fancied a mecha rp, most likely spurred on by me playing Titanfall 2 again recently. So I cooked a little universe up that could be our stage and filled it with enough lore to get the ball rolling, all I'm missing is a few other players to interact with. Hopefully that is where you come in. Anyway without further ado I will present what rambled thoughts I've put together so far, just keep in mind that I am going to be keeping certain bits of information from you for the sake of a little mystery.
So the year is 2042, things are going relatively well. Humanity finally got its collective asses together and managed to form two unions, the E.C.C (Eastern colony collective) and the N.E.C (Nations of earth collaboration). The former consisted of China, South and North Korea, Japan, Malaysia, India and all of Indonesia, as well as a few smaller nations situated on that side of the world. Everyone else belonged to the N.E.C. It was through these two great superpowers that humanity managed to get a handle on climate change, new technologies blossomed and almost total peace was achieved. There will still issues of course. The one that loomed over the earth like a great shadow was population growth, so many mouths to feed and with only so much planet to go around. But with the entire world focusing on the issue things didn't look so bleak, a solution would surely be found. Whilst the miracle remedy was still being searched for other plans were put in place, families were only permitted to have two children maximum, cities began to climb into the sky instead of spreading horizontally. Food was a bigger problem, the E.C.C pioneered synthetic meats in an effort to combat the problem but it wasn't enough to completely erase it. There was worry that the peace might fail if things continued to get worse. But before that could happen a new problem presented itself, a new threat the likes of which humanity had never seen in all its many long years on Earth. A portal almost a km across appeared in Russia and from within it came the beasts that would be appropriately dubbed "Demons". These Demons came in an incredible range of shapes and sizes, from those the size of a common dog to those the size of battleships. Each demon was individual in some way, one may crawl on 40 legs and have a pyramid shaped body made of reptilian flesh whilst another may almost look human in nature, albeit with a whipping tendril lined with eyes and sharp barbs in place of a head. The point is whilst always organic in nature they can take pretty much any form. The first wave in Russia consisted mostly of small Demons but due to the nature of the attack it resulted in heavy causalities. The portal disappeared shortly afterwards only to appear again, a month later in Afghanistan. This time the Demons were bigger, more lethal and destructive. It was an arduous battle but the beasts were once again dealt with. It went on like this for the best part of a year, each attack worse than the last. The E.C.C announced that it was activating what it called the "Hibernation" protocol, effective immediately. Every induvial country within the E.C.C went into complete isolation, huge blast shields forming protective cocoons around them. The E.C.C had decided they would sit out on humanities fight for survival and would instead remerge when the dust had settled. Now fighting entirely by themselves the N.E.C grew more desperate and deployed new technologies in their efforts to combat the foe. Mechs had been a useful tool to humanity ever since the 2030s but they proved invaluable in combating demons, versatile enough to deal with more than your average tank and without the huge amounts of collateral damage that bombs would cause. But they were too slow, far too difficult to pilot with conventional controls. That's were our characters come in. They are to be the operators of a new generation of mech, the most sophisticated models yet. This is all thanks to the work of C.A.M.P (Combat approved mech programme) who supplied individual governments within the N.E.C with a new neural interlink system that allowed for Operators to link their minds with an all new generation of A.I, enabling them to control the mech as easily as their own bodies. It's a risky process and due to the nature of the neural link system only an incredibly small handful of people have been chosen from the population to trial the programme. Operation "Headache" was put into action, all children would take a mandatory full brain scan at birth in an effort to find eligible candidates. Now this next bit is gonna sound a little bit odd but its very important, all applicants chosen share these particular traits; 19-20 years of age, have a deceased family including a sibling and must have lost their family at a young age in an incident involving Demons. I know, very specific but that's just how its is. Anyhow the rp will be starting with the arrival of our applicants at the C.A.M.P main base of operations (An artificial island off the coast of France, freshly transported in from their civilian lives. They will begin with a little augmentation surgery (Hey you signed the forms before you came to C.A.M.P no backing out now) and then onto basic training. Given time they shall move on to Demon killing. Each mech was specialised by the applicants country of origin to best suit them, giving each one a unique look and set of abilities.
Phew I think that is most of the exposition I wanted to dump here so I'll move on to what I'm looking for in partners. As I mentioned in the title I'm looking for a max of three other roleplayers, preferably two females and another male for the sake of diversity but that isn't a deal breaker if that can't be the case. Decent grammar and length of posts is expected, at least a good quality paragraph even if you are just talking to another player. Mature themes will be explored in this roleplay so if you have a problem with that this won't be for you. That should be everything for this section so I shall post a mock up of my OC so you can get an idea of what yours might look like.
Name: Lucas Grey
Age: 20
Height: 5ft 10
Nationality: English
Physical appearance: Lucas constantly manages to exude the aura of somebody who just can’t quite be bothered today. His gold flecked brown eyes are ringed with dark circles at all times, a clear give away that he doesn’t get as much sleep as he should. His hair while actually brown might as well be black unless in harsh light and is kept shaven short on the sides but longer on top, the latter being roughly brushed to the left. His nose is pretty unremarkable, slightly smaller than average perhaps but not noticeably so. Now at the age where shaving is something he has to worry about Lucas makes a half-hearted effort and as such usually has short stubble darkening his face. His frame is quite lithe, the result of spending most of his childhood outside climbing buildings in the city he grew up in. For the same reason his arms, hands and legs bare various small scars.
Usual choice of clothing: In the dreary streets of New Cambridge it's best to come prepared for the usual heavy showers of rain and being a life long resident of the city Lucas knows that better than anybody. He will opt to wear his usual coat (A waterproof windbreaker/ trenchcoat hybrid, coloured a dark green) over a selection of t shirts along with denim jeans and a sturdy pair of black boots if at all possible. He also owns a simple metal watch that runs on kinetic energy, a gift from his father.
Personality:
As his appearance suggests Lucas is always rather tired, slightly more irritable than most and would rather be sleeping than whatever it is he is currently caught up in. Looking beyond this though you’ll find a good natured individual with a strong sense of right and wrong and a passion for sarcasm and wit. He is actually sharper than you might assume as well but has a terrible tendency to forget important details. The young man has a soft spot for misfits and outcasts, and forms strong bonds with the few friends he makes. He can be on the headstrong side of things and defiantly has a stubborn streak but he subdues this rather nasty trait for the most part.
History:
Description: Modified by the B.E.S.D (British experimental science division) X-700 has been specialised for stealth and agility over all else (Yes laugh it up a mech meant for stealth). I'm gonna supply a picture that resembles X-700 with these alterations, X is a dark green, has a full length ghillie shawl and has a more bulky masculine appearance than the mech in the picture.
A.I "gender": Despite being an artificial intelligence X-700 has adopted a male persona and voice.
Weapons/ equipment: X-700 wields a massive DMR specialised for long range combat, two collapsible tomahawks and a hand cannon as a backup firearm. Special equipment includes an active camouflage unit (Which enables partial invisibility by mimicking the mechs surroundings. The cloak X-700 wears is imbued with this tech and also serves to break up the mechs outline. The other bit of experimental tech X-700 is packing is a localised teleportation drive, but it is currently unstable and isn't recommended for field use.
Apologies about the bio being a bit rushed its getting late as I write. Anyhow if this takes your fancy drop me a message via pm! Looking forward to hearing from you.

History:
- Born in Cambridge to Mr and Mrs Grey, working class individuals who despite being good people weren't particularly extraordinary. They held down jobs as an electrician and a pharmacist respectively.
- Three years after the birth of their first child the Grey's produced another son, Alex Grey.
- Both Lucas and Alex did pretty averagely in their education and things progressed as expected until Lucas' 9th birthday, the night that Cambridge came under siege by the worst Demon attack England had seen in history. Nicknamed "Silver jaw" by the population the Demon was class B, a 60 foot tall reptilian monster with 6 limbs, 2 bladed tails and a jaw made of an organic metal. Silver jaw tore through the city with ease, destroying a majority of the structures there before finally being but down by the British military forces. The event claimed a great many lives, including the entire Grey family except for Lucas. The demon crushed the shelter they were hiding in and it was only though sheer luck that the young boy evaded the falling rubble.
- As Lucas dealt with his own personal trauma Cambridge was rebuilt, but with such extensive damage it might was renamed New Cambridge. Whilst the repairs were underway he stayed with his uncle who lived in the tiny fraction of the city that survived the fight. A temporary school was built to accommodate the displaced children and although Lucas returned to it as asked his heart wasn't in it. His grades suffered massively and he became withdrawn from the world.
- As the years passed and New Cambridge took shape Lucas slowly came to terms with his hand in life and just like his city was slowly making progress on the path to recovery. Although still far more introverted than he had been before the attack he made a small group of friends at school and took an interest in Geography, a subject that he began to excel in.
- Life continued as normal from here, Lucas performed averagely in most subjects with a few exceptions, maintained a closely knit group of friends, finished college, had a handful of girlfriends (None of which lasted very long) and opted for an apprenticeship in plumbing over university as he wished to start earning cash so that he may move out and no longer burden his uncle. After a year in his new occupation he achieved just that and began renting a small apartment in the area. Things were going relatively smoothly until Lucas received a message from C.A.M.P .
