For a while now, I've been piecing together a Roleplay that falls under the Sci-Fi/Mecha genre. I got the idea after watching the new Code Geass OVA: Akito the Exiled.
At first, this RP would've had the Code Geass mantle. But, A Geass RP was pitched ages ago by yours truly, and it never got off the ground. Looking back on it, the basic plot I had made was shit. Plus, it was made during an inactive time for the Roleplaying section.
But, the KHI is starting to resume the oodles of activity it had when I joined. (Not quite there, but hey, it's summer!) And I figured I could formulate something new from something old.
What I have so far is a plot backbone concerning the world's nations modernizing to the point of space habituation. (IE: The USA, Russia, Japan, and the like. Perhaps an original nation?) Rather than fight battles with Human soldiers, (Though those occasionally take place as well) mechs and technology replace the guns of old.
Alternatively, perhaps a medevial setting, in which the mechs are powered by magic in lieu of technology; same nation concept, different time period/universe?
Now I'll address the obvious question: Haven't we heard of this kinda thing before? Yes. Yes, you have. And yes, Elements from shows like Gundam or movies like Pacific Rim (Which TBH, I have yet to see) may probably show up here, but every niche has it's roots from something else. Your'e bound to see cliches and the like, though sequence breaking is always encouraged. I am anxious to see any ideas eople can bring to the table, as well. ^_^
I'm hoping to get at least five people in on this, but I'm happy with any number beyond three.
