If you are familiar with the Mechwarrior series of PC games, tabletop games or novels or indeed the Battletech universe, you will immediately be at home with this one. (Note, I am taking some liberties in the background.)
The background is simple:
At some point in time, namely the latter half of the 2nd millennium, mankind created Battlemechs for us in military combat in a seemingly endless civil war. Battlemechs are roughly 20 foot tall, armed, bipedal, armoured walkers with enough firepower to match almost anything on the ground.
The usage of battlemechs in military conflicts quickly escalated and brought the colonized human worlds into a state of social collapse. Deadly wars taxed the populace heavily and many empires soon found themselves unable to field enough battlemechs to fend off their enemies and the larger empires began eating up the smaller ones with their superior mechs.
The war came to an end and humanity was united.
The Clans were created to keep constant watch over humanity so that no new civil wars would begin. They were formed of elite soldiers bred only for combat by a careful selection of genetic treatments and birth selection. They became the most elite of the Mechwarriors.
Many empires did not agree with the central rule, however, and began to break off. The once-unified human empire fractured and new hostilities arose, even between the Clans. Soon battlemechs were rolled out of factories along with tanks and battle armour, artillery and fighter planes. War had come home...
=======================================
You start your adventure as a part of a battle group of Clan Raven. This Clan has been instrumental in gathering anthros to swell its ranks, firmly believing that man and machine can work as well as half-man and machine. This has obviously caused some friction between Clan Raven and the other Clans.
You begin as a Lance mate, as part of a team of battlemechs, as they are tasked to attack a strategic enemy planet belonging to the Draconis Combine, a viscious human empire with feudal-era japanese ideals.
You should post the following:
Pilot's name:
Age:
Gender:
Race:
Height:
Weight:
Physique:
Personality:
History:
Mech's name:
Mech type: (Light/Medium/Heavy/Assault)
Mech weapon loadout: (if you do not know that much of mechwarrior, then choose one of the pre-set weapons options, like type A or B, etc.)
Note. If you wish to know more about mechwarrior or need a list of available battlemechs, check out this site: http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Main_Page

If you like big metal behemoths crashing into fierce combat in the far future, this is for you!
