Rules of this RP Right now, I don't got much, but please follow both the Guild rules and Gaia's rules as far as RPing and posting goes. I'll post a few at least. 1. Be at the very least semi-lit. No one liners, try to describe your person and what is going on. Its not as hard as you think. 2. Romance is strongly encouraged, but keep it PG-13. If needed, take it to PMs if you have an urge. 3. If posting in OOC, do so in some way we know, such as the (()). 4. NO KILLING CHARACTERS WITHOUT THE RPER'S CONSENT! I strongly enforce this rule. 5. No god modding, power playing, auto-hitting, or anything else unless you ask for permission. If denied, then don't do it. 6. PLEASE keep swearing down to a very low amount. Not everyone wants to come to an RP and read a character swear out the sun. Really. Please, avoid as much as possible. 7. Be courteous to other RPers, we're here to have fun, not hurt other people. 8. Have fun, most of all. 9. Contact me or a Crew/VC if you have problems with someone in this RP. We're here to help. 10. I'll add more if I think of some. Posting Etiquette Now, we all hate getting burried in RPs, so don't do it to someone if you don't like it happening to yourself. I ask that if you are waiting for someone to post, then give them at least a one day grace period. If they had informed the Guild they will be gone for a set amount of time, then it will be your decision to either leave them behind or not. No Epic posting, meaning don't go over the limits set for RPing. Two RPers can't go over one page together. Three RPers can't go over two pages together. Other than that, it is fine. Let people have a chance to post.

History "It was not long ago that we had created our enemies. If I recall correctly, it was just under ten years ago that the revolututionary Security Drones had been designed. Nicknamed Mavericks after their creator, Dr. Solra Maverick, who had died just two years after he had shared his creations with the world. It was an untimely death, one of a natural cause as he went to sleep on that last day of his existence. I'm starting to think the world would have been a much better place without him. The Mavericks proved to be the perfect Security system ever designed. Lacking emotion or their own thoughts, they could easily crack down on those that had commited crimes. Running solely on logic, as all robots did, they proved to be both a cold and lawful system. Though their protection of us didn't last long... It was eight years after they had been designed did we start to find....'flaws' in their system. It was as if the robots would just stop working for periods of time, freezing whatever they were doing and just stood there. It would be a few minutes until they rebooted and returned to their set jobs. We thought this was just a minor flaw and that they just needed more energy to work. We were wrong. Now we understand their shut downs, their seemingly slack behavior in their jobs. They had found a leader. We have no idea what had happened, but one day the Mavericks in unison turned on us and killed as many as possible. We were unprepared, not expecting our source of defense to become our enemy. Thousands were killed in a mere day. It took us weeks to finally put together an army sizeable enough to defend ourselves, by then we had already lost the whole eastern side of our continent. Even now we're continually being pushed back. I don't know how much longer we will survive against this march of the machines, but a small piece of me tells me how its going to end. We are all going to die..." Private Jared Korresk Year 3180 Private Korresk had died in a surprise attack launched by the Mavericks just two hours after he had finished that entry. It has been two years now that we had finally found the account. I do have one thing to say....we sure are proving him wrong.

Landscape Years of war have left our land scarred and shattered. Even before that we are to blame for destroying the many beatuies of nature. Everywhere you go you can find some hint of civilization, whether it be a destroyed highway or some rubble of a once glorious city. The Western CitiesWhat has been left for us to take hold of in our last stand against the Mavericks. It may not be as great as it once was, but its still our home. When the Mavericks had first turned on us they had mainly struck at our buildings, hoping to crush us under our cities. We focused our strength in erradicating the Mavericks in the West, hoping to save some part of the land for us. We succeeded, but our cities have been severly damaged in the process. We are forced to take side routes or planes to reach where we wish to go now, most roads crumbling after large amounts of conflicts. It is also in the west that we still have some hint of nature left. Some forests had been left alone so as to preserve some piece of the land, though the forests are mainly concentrated in the south western tip of the continent. The ScarA large desert in the center of the contenint effectively called 'The Scar'. At the beginning of the war, we had thought it best to use nuclear weapons to dispose of the Mavericks quickly, this plan failed and led to the creation of the desert. Its unbearable heat and sand make it impossible to travel on foot, and even flying through it is troublesome for the plane could easily overheat. If one even tried, it is a two day flight across in almost any direction to the exact opposite direction. This scar has given us a defensive position, allowing us to focus our strength on the North and South passes. The Northern MountainsMainly impassable, these mountains hinder most troops and planes in travel and force them to follow through the many passes of the mountains. Ultimately, all passes come to meet in one large valley located further on the Western side, allowing us to hold our position there much easier. We are holed up in an old munitions factory, now having it up and running again for more supplies. This factory has provided us an excellent defensive position to hold off our enemies, but we have no idea how much longer the old building will last. There is a path that leads further north, into an icy tundra where no man or machine could survive. Whatever lies beyond there is unknown to us. The Southern CoastWe have been able to hold our enemies off from a small port city and docks in the south, where they must pass if they wish to avoid the desert. It has provided us to build some naval ships to launch artillery fire on passing enemies. We have yet to see any Maverick Ships traveling the seas. We can only hope they don't try. The city has been battered by enemiy attacks and is starting to crumble. How much longer will we be able to hold here until we would have to find a new position to defend from? The coast stretches all across the southern end of the continent. The Wasted EastWe have yet to push our enemies back to find out what has happened to our homes. Who knows what those machines had done in their conquest to kill us all? But dark clouds loom over that portion of the land almost every day, is it an omen as to what has befallen there?

Current Situation It is the fourth year of the war, and not at all something to celebrate. We may have lived this long, but its easy to say that we're only denying the inevitable. No matter what we do, the Mavericks are always outsmarting us and slowly pushing us back. Our leaders fear that it won't be long now that we exhaust the remainder of our fighting forces. At least we have on thing to depend on, the Reploids. A scientific breakthrough of artificial life and human cloning. What started as merely a genetic way to create a super human soldier, turned into a cyborg weapon that could easily take on a large number of Mavericks. The Reploids have been given Human personalities to keep them from falling in sway with the Mavericks but still posess amazing robotic abilities. They look very Human, but have been given special, and uniquely designed for each Reploid, armor that aids them in fighting. Programmed how to fight certain ways, the Reploids work perfectly against Mavericks to defend us. Now as the Reploids were the easiest way to enforce our position, the Mavericks are smart. After seeing our new weapons, they thought it best to capture one and find a way to counter it. Their creation was the end of the war. The Anit-Reploids. Shortened to Anit-Reps for a means of communication, these things are basically Reploids denied their right to think for themselves. Although they still fake their personalities, they still work for the Mavericks. Designed to kill Reploids, we are once again at a loss in the war. But we still have on last hope...Our scientists and technicians had been working on what they called 'The Perfect Reploid'. Designed to be indestructible and limitless in power, they set to finding a way to make this. As we slowly lost hope, they continued to try until one fateful day. We were informed a plane would be flying directly over the desert towards the Maverick HQ, at first we had no idea why they would do that. Then it hit us, they had succeded. We watched the skies for that promised plane as if it were our last hope for survival, and soon enough we saw it. An hour after it had entered the desert, the Mavericks gave it all they had, as if they knew what was coming. With newly regained hope, we fought our hardest along with the Reploids to defend our lives and land. That two day journey for the plane were the longest days anyone could say they had, but it had worked. We were informed the plane had made it and that it was under heavy fire, but the Perfect Reploid was doing its job. Instantly the Mavericks attacking us froze, we thought we had won. But our joy of victory was soon cast aside. In less than twenty minutes we had been informed that communication with their perfect weapon had been lost, and when that happened the Mavericks once again started their dreaded march. Caught off guard, we had to fight back with all we had to just survive. I recall on that day to have seen a shooting star, and in broad daylight too! Whatever that was a sign for, I knew it was not good. Now we continue our war, hoping with all our existence to somehow find a way to survive...

Sentient Beings Only one true race exists on this planet, you cannot deny sentient robots their rights to be explained here. Humans: Normal, average, beings with a lifespan of mainly eighty to one-hundred years. Their personalities and thoughts vary greatly from one to another, but they do seem to hold a common willingness to survive and aid their brothers in times of need. Emotional beings who strive to just see the next day, they will not give up in a fight. Mavericks: Sentient robots supposedly under the control of some super Maverick. They were created at first as mindless slaves for the Humans, only to realize that they were being abused and mistreated to make the Human's life easier. Unable to stand for this, Mavericks turned on their creators to make them their slaves. Or even better...dead. * WARNING: If you even plan to play as a Maverick, rememeber this...you're a mindless robot. So if you really want to, then go ahead, but there's not much to RP as if you're a Maverick. You're a robot, have no emotions, and don't really even think on your own. But its your decision. Reploids: Another Human creation. Mainly cyborgs with both a Human and robot brain. They share the emotions and feelings Humans do, but are granted better abilities to fight, think, and survive. They must eat and drink to stay alive and satisfy their Human parts of their bodies. They can wear special armor that heightens their fighting abilities and other such things. Can use many different kinds of weapons. Also, as it can be guessed, the Humans have used cutting-edge technology to create these seemingly super soldiers. Such advances even include that of controling certain elements through a means of science. Like that of conducting and using lightning, controling wind with specially designed fans, using ice by using a special freezing solution, or even fire by merely using a heating system. * WARNING: If you plan to be a Reploid, I suggest making a special power for them. I'll tell you if its fair or not, you are not limited to elemental powers. Have fun in the creation process. Just add the power into the 'Others' section of the Profile. Anti-Reps: Maverick designed weapons, copied from the Human Reploids. Created with a lack of emotions, these basically human looking robots have just as heightened skills as the Reploids do. They were designed to mainly kill Reploids, but can easily fight well against Humans. Anti-Reps more or less 'fake' their feelings and emotions to trick their Human enemies. They are pretty much secondary leaders of the Mavericks and usually are at the head of the army. To avoid being captured or destroyed, Anti-Reps mainly retreat from losing battles. * WARNING: Since Anti-Reps are practically copies of Reploids, they, too, have the unique skills Reploids may posess. As with Reploids, add the strength/power in your 'Other' section of your profile.

Profile Skeleton GaiaName: Character Name: Race: Gender: (Yes, Reploids have genders, too) *Age: Appearence: *History: Personality: Weapon of Choice: Other: *Items marked with a star are only necessary for Humans, but can be used for the others as well. **Please PM me your profiles marked 'March of the Machines'. This way I know what the profiles are for. Thank you.Profiles in Use Not An Actual Profile Character Name: Project Omega (The 'Perfect' Reploid) Race: Reploid Gender: Male *Age: Not Even A Year Since Creation Appearence:Close Enough To Reploid Appearence *History: Created for the purpose of destroying the Maverick leader. He has no other purpose but to finally end the war and bring about victory for the Humans against the killing machines. During his mission, communications had been lost and so no one knew what had happened to him. Soon after this, he was labeled as 'destroyed' since the Mavericks continued their rampage. However, a shooting star had fallen just as the Mavericks continued their march...Could these two events be connected? Personality: He had none. Weapon of Choice: Was able to use all means of weaponry, even those used by his enemies. Other: N/AGaiaName: Toran the DragonKnight Character Name: He can't remember Race: Human (?) Gender: Male *Age: He looks about 19, but he's not sure Appearence: Human *History: He can't remember much of anything about himself. He's lost all memories of anything that could've happened to him. He doesn't even recall there being a war. Strangely, he was found in a crater outside of a small town in the south western area. People suspect for some reason he may be linked to the falling star. Personality: He hasn't been around much to really have one, but he does care for the people around them and does what he can to help them, whatever it may be. Courteous and loyal to people he respects. He does not treat anyone with disrespect unless they had done this to him first. He's very confused about the world around him and has no idea what is what at all. He needs a lot of help from those around him, and gladly takes it when its offered. Weapon of Choice: None. Other: He can recall just one memory, but its very vivd. He was falling for a long time. Maybe it was just a dream that he remembered when he woke up again...
