[Takosher]

Takosher, is my character valid now?

I'd like you to expand the personality more. Also while your attachment is technically fine, do be aware that ramming is just as dangerous to you as it is whatever you're attacking. Also, please join the Discord, as it will be necessary for communication during the preparation phases.

Name: Hiro Meijō

Personality: Perpetually dreamy and maybe not entirely all there, Hiro enjoys staring off into the middle distance while things happen around him, occasionally making comments that would baffle a stoner, but often oddly incisive ones. Even though he may not know what exactly is going on at any given time, he has a knack for doing the right thing for the circumstances anyway. He likes doing things that don't require too much thought, like sleeping, staring into fires, and abstract algebra.

Appearance: A pale, scruffy-looking young man with grey eyes, a narrow upturned nose, and long fluffy hair, most of it black. Sometimes, he has feathers plaited into his hair, which he doesn't seem to notice; nobody has actually seen him putting them in or taking them out. Out of uniform, he dresses like he is going to a funeral of someone he really hates. He has the thin build of someone who sometimes forgets to eat and sometimes forgets what eating is, and is of basically normal height.

Level 1 (0 EXP)

Mecha Name: Seraphiel

Mecha Appearance: Seraphiel is Hiro's guardian angel, and designed to look the part. In general, the design favours elongated, tapering oval shapes where others might be boxier. Its legs taper into conical feet reminiscent of a shakōki-dogū, and its colour scheme is turquoise and white with gold edging. Because Hiro is afraid of heights, a pleasant grassy meadow has been painted on the inside of the cockpit window at around (pilot) knee level.

You can go for a slightly curvier design, but the tapered feet aren't gonna fly. In general I feel like you missed the part where mecha are inherently clunky, you're never really going to get an elegant design out of one.

Trait: Angelic Flight: As part of its generally angelic design, Seraphiel has a small rocket pack integrated into the upper back, designed to resemble feathered wings, allowing it to jump "hella high" like Wonderella, which is basically like flight. Although Seraphiel was not originally designed to mount interchangeable back modules, mounting points have begrudgingly been installed onto the wings to allow attachments to be mounted between them, but Hiro thinks it looks stupid and ruins the aesthetic to do so.

All mecha are designed to have interchangeable back modules, and this trait wouldn't exactly be a viable starter back module either. You shouldn't be designing to have a complete motif right out the gate, otherwise you won't have anything to build towards.

Power Source: Power Core
Infrastructure: Steel
Armor: Intractium

Equipped Attachments:
Name (Type): Dumah (Hand)
Description: A giant anime sword which billows with flame from an internal fuel reservoir when swung. The flame is just for effect.

This would be better if the flame were functional and powered by the mecha's core, rather than internally. There's not really any reason to do arbitrary aesthetic nonsense and a flaming sword is sufficiently simple to use as a starter weapon.

Damage:
[Any damage sustained should be noted here. Damage to specific attachments should instead be noted with those attachments]

[Maximum Spin]

Absolutely nothing about what I was imagining was anything I'd call elegant. I'll contemplate the design more.

I really didn't think I could get a proper flaming sword, but okay, I'm not going to turn one down.

Spoiler: Shiki Shingen (click to show/hide)

Name: Shiki Shingen

Personality: (they ended up as non-gendered somehow, it's just how I started writing, with "them" rather than a gendered pronoun. Plus I don't think this character is someone who would really care about gender so it works out.) Quiet, calm, and calculating most of the time, Shiki tends to fade into the background in group or social settings, something they are fine with, preferring to work with machines and computers over people. This changes when they get excited about something, typically some piece of tech or a new material and it's properties, at which point they tend to be a bit of a chatterbox as they spew their ideas as fast as they pop into their head.

Appearance: They are somewhat short and have a very Androgynous face and build, no one actually knows if they're male or female outside of their family. This is exacerbated by a tendency to wear a baggy light grey trenchcoat with tons of pockets and a hood, basically a cloak with sleeves and ALL the pockets, which they fill with various parts and tools for tinkering, and when they're not wearing that they typically wear very baggy and comfortable hoodies and pants. They have short and spiky white hair, pink eyes and glasses. Of note they can still see fairly well without their glasses.

Spoiler: Kaji Habishi, Brash Inventor Mortar Pilot (click to show/hide)

Name: Kaji Habishi

Personality: Enthusiastic and brash, Kaji tends to rush into whatever is in front of him with absolute glee. He's quite a bit more ambitious than might be wise, figuring he'll become the greatest Saint Mecha pilot ever, uncover the secrets of the Enemy, and rule his own village or airship or something like that. He's currently torn between blowing up the Enemy's factory-things because it'd be awesome, and keeping them around to spit out infinite foes for him to trounce and harvest for parts.

Appearance: Spiky red hair, vibrant green eyes, enthusiastic grin far more often than is appropriate. Athletic build on the tall side.

Level 1 (25 EXP)
Inventor 1: [Reduces the AP cost of crafting new items]

Mecha Name: Gobnait's Flock

Mecha Appearance: Primary color black, secondary color gold

Trait: The Gobnait's Flock's core systems are unusually resilient and modular, and so the mech's combat performance is less affected by battle damage.
Power Source: Power Core
Infrastructure: Steel
Armor: Intractium

Equipped Attachments:

Code: [Select]

Name (Type): Sun Mortar (Back)
Description: Fires a blast of golden energy into the sky, where it eventually falls back to earth in an impressive explosion. Difficult to use properly, but devastating when you know exactly where an enemy will be in a few seconds.
Damage:
-Pristine!

[Chevaleresse]

Spoiler: 2smug4u (click to show/hide)

Name: Ren Hakuryuu

Personality: Self-assured to an extreme, Ren combines a sharp intellect with an enormous ego and an utter lack of ability to handle being pressed. She's quite the know-it-all and revels in it; if there's a gap in her knowledge, Ren will move to patch it as quickly as possible. She is here, of course, to demonstrate her immense knowledge and keen tactical mind, and to learn more of the mysterious Enemy.

Appearance: Ren has medium length, well-kept hair of a strong blue, save for one white stripe that serves to frame her right eye. A pair of glasses sits overtop a pair of vibrant eyes - which she can push up with a flash while she explains her latest deduction to lesser minds, of course. Her outfits tend towards "business casual." She is positively tiny, though Ren believes she has enough presence to compensate for this. (She does, until she startles much like a kitten.)

Level 1 (0 EXP)

Power Source: Power Core
Infrastructure: Steel
Armor: Intractium

Equipped Attachments: Search Radar [Back]: An early-warning system that gives rough, but usable bearings and distances to any objects in the area. What it lacks in finesse it makes up for in range.
