What's something cool you'd love to RP?

I would love to roleplay a Mecha setting.
 
Hello I'm Jack Pine a GM and a co-FM of the USO which has a variety of mechs to play with. Everything from variable fighters, to winged neural interface units. With more in the works!

Also I noticed you like ship plots and would like to ask if you'd be interested in joining my ISS-Brimstone plot which has some mechs. You might like it if you don't mind morally grey work and enjoying stories visiting various locations, people, and factions. We also explore some of the criminal underground elements of Sarp's setting.

Please message me on Discord or here via PM if you wish to know more. My name is the same and I would love to have you.
 
@Israfel I am generally noted as the guy who brought mecha back to the spotlight, not to toot my own horn. I helped establish the USO as a faction rather than just a group of people, and I also made the planet's Space navy, the Skyguard. They use a variety of mecha, including transforming mecha tanks, and aerospace fighters. I currently am running a plot called Sector Searchers.

It isn't exactly a very traditional military ship/plot, but the captain, my character, is the leader of the Skyguard.
 
Whilst we don't use "proper" mecha (like Gundams), I would definitely recommend Nepleslia to you. The primary plot I would recommend would be Inquiry (@GrammarPaladin), which uses the PA suits of the faction. Some of these are large-ish and akin to some of the more modern-type Gundams (small with compact cockpits), but they tend to go toe-to-toe with aliens and groups that could potentially field the type of opponents.

I would also generally recommend Nepleslia's darker end (18+ plots), as they maintain these ratings due to legal coveralls, but also feature meaty near-robo assets. Crimefest (@SirSPT) focuses on criminals in the nation and could feature some of these for all I know in the future due to the purchase capacity of mecha, whilst the 309th (my plot) focuses on both space and ground battles that could field these units.

As a personal implant (not for my faction), I also have the plot Dig-It which is prominently featured around exploring technologies and the crew has access to two mecha. It used to be intended to focus on it, but changed more towards world exploration and such. Still a really cool plot (but also +18).

Overall, welcome to SARP. Hope you enjoy yer time here and.
 
Thank you for the suggestions guys! I seem to be drawn into the Elysian culture and RP any points into those sections of RP as well?
 
hey as someone who is starting to get more involved with Elysia due to my upcoming plot the ECV Raven I can give you whatever info I have, one thing I will point out right away is that currently there is only one Elysian plot with my one making two when it begins.

However if you've looked through the wiki and even here on the site you would have seen that Elysians as characters are numerous and everywhere across the setting, for a better info dump regarding Elysians I summon the @Arbitrated @META_mahn and @FrostJaeger as the official birbs
 
Hello, greetings and hi! :D

I'm Ethereal, I like to think I'm here to facilitate RP for anyone who's got an idea but doesn't know how to pursuit it in the setting :p
Feel free to check out PaladinRPG and myself's combined arms plot, Inquisition. We've got tons of Power Armor if you fancy pseudo-mecha planetary invasions. I hope you settle in well and have a great time here!
 
Heyos @Israfel! Apologies for the late reply - like you, I work weird hours (read: the closing shift) and work yesterday was exhausting, so I basically fell asleep once I got home. Sorry! :oops:

Anyhoo, the Elysian Celestial Empire is a faction of humanoid Latin-speaking birbs angels whose culture is based largely off of Ancient Rome, Ancient Greece, and (to a lesser extent) Christianity - down to there being Patricians and Plebeians, just as there was in the Roman Empire (though Elysia has a third class, the Caelisolans, which have effectively replaced the aforementioned Plebeians).

TL;DR: It's the Roman Empire, just with birbs angels instead of humans and with 9001% more DEUS VULT.

A lot of the wiki articles are admittedly in need of a lot of work - many of them haven't been touched since 2007 - so I apologize in advance if any of them are less then helpful; if you have any questions/comments/concerns/sudden emotional outbursts, shoot me a DM on Discord (FrostJäger#4293) and I'll reply ASAP.

As for plots, well, like @club24 said earlier the ECV Raven is currently the only "open" plot Elysian Celestial Empire has. I also run a plot named Ascension, but I wouldn't recommend it for new players, as it moves slowly and is mainly about politics. With that being said, however, I plan on running a Genesis of Aquarion-themed mecha plot in the future - so stay tuned!

Anyways, welcome to SARP! :D

(Sorry for the abrupt ending - I'm not very good at writing these kinds of posts... >.<)
