Ask to Join The Mechanically Enhanced Assault Unit

The Mechanically Enhanced Assault Unit (MEAU) is a growing trend across the globe that mixes two very dangerous groups: robots and children.

The year is 3030, and the world is in shambles. As the tension between nations grew, wars broke out like dandelions during the summer. Each war was bloody and meaningless, thousands of lives were lost at each encounter and neither side had an advantage enough to end it, so they just drew out into a never ending conflict. That was, until Japan changed the game. Japan introduced the first MEAU in a battle against China, it was a small unit of 10 men, but they were immensely powerful. They were cyborgs- people that had been engineered with robotic parts that made them as strong as 20 regular men. The battle was quick and effortless, Japan's victory took the world by surprise- and every single country wanted in on the latest technology. Unfortunately, there was one major flaw in the MEAU- the life expectancy. Only 13 hours after their installation and launch, Japan's unit died. And every nation found themselves with the same problem.
The only way to mechanically engineer a human, a chip must be inserted into their brain which connects with the robotic gear they work with. And a few week's of global research found that the only way the chip could be installed without causing fatal brain damage, is if the target's brain is severely under developed. Children. Obviously, this causes a moral dilemma. However, for some countries- they find no problem with sending the children to war. It didn't take long for the battlefield to change, and eventually most countries had 6-12 year olds fighting each other to the death. Most developed countries, however, found this socially unacceptable, and withdrew completely from the wars.

The world was divided into war zones and areas that intended to advance their technology and soon return to war. No place was at peace, although the United States of America was at rest. That is... until their breakthrough discovery. With a few adjustments and calculated risks, the United States government figured out how to create an MEAU using young adults. Aged between 18 and 20, this group's brain isn't fully developed, but they are beyond well enough to fend for themselves in war. They are quick to act, conscripting over half the population out of high school. While some volunteer for money or honor, others are forced to participate by a mandatory draft. Today is the first ever American MEAU formation and you, for whatever reason, are apart of it. The first step to your journey will be a test of courage and strength, a test that will pick out the best 500 from the draft who will continue on to become the MEAU of America.

*THIS THREAD OPENS UP AT A PRELIMINARY ENTRANCE EXAM- THE CHARACTERS DO NOT HAVE ANY MECH YET*

I figured I should clarify on what exactly I mean by Mech. A Mechanically Engineered individual has one robotic quality to them. This could be a replaced body part, like a gun instead of a hand, or an eye that shoot laser beams. Or it could be an added appendage, like a razor-blade tail or jet-boosted feet, Lastly, Mech could be 'blue tooth' like a staff or throwing stars that the person can move with their mind (these can't weigh more than 5ish pounds). Be creative, but not OP :D.

1. Pokecharms rules apply. No exceptions.
2. I shouldn't have to say this, but be kind
3. No Mary or Gary Su's, and don't be cliche
4. There is a time and place for everything (we will be moving at my pace and as a group)
5. Literate responses only, I'm talking 5 sentences at least
6. You can have up to 3 characters, make sure you can handle them all
7. The characters are between 18-20 years
8. Every character only gets one Mech upgrade, ask if you need me to be more specific
9. If you read the rules, prove it by putting your character's favorite food somewhere in their bio
10. Have fun, and let me know if there is anything I can do to hep you have fun

CHARACTERS
Name: Sid Cramer
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Gay
Appearance: Sid is lanky and thin framed. Standing at 6'3, he's fairly tall for a young man, but the barely fills out the figure, weighing just over 160. Sid's skin is pale, a permanently ghostly shade due to too many hours behind closed blinds, but the occasional moles or freckle sticks out on his body. His face is angular, with sharp cut features and slender eyes. High cheekbones are doused with light freckles and his think lips peel back into a sort of wiry grin when he smiles. Sid's pupils are narrow, a pale blue color that almost look gray from afar, and his thick eyebrows are set low enough to shadow his eyes. Sid's brows are a dark brown color, just a shade darker than the chocolate brown hair on his head which is styled in a neat crew cut that seems brand new. When grown out, Sid's hair is curly, but with the cut it's hardly noticeable. Sid also sports two small tattoos, one being a detailed feather behind his left ear and the other is a poorly drawn star on his ankle. Sid wears glasses due to poor eyesight, as well.
Personality: Sid is an intellectual, something that he is aware of. So well aware of, in fact, that it's about his only good trait. Capitalizing on his intelligence, Sid's last few years of life have been pretty much deprived of everything besides brain building. He's a kind man at heart, but a bit skittish. He's not one for change, it takes him days to adapt to knew environments and even longer to adapt to new people. Sid also is rather jumpy, which certainly doesn't help with his intense paranoia. While he'd rather stay inside than do anything else, Sid isn't the type to voice his complaints- he'd rather solve the problem himself without anyone noticing.
Type of Mech: Mini Computer- Sid's left index finger will be replaced with a mechanical peice that works like a hard drive. He can download and upload from this finger. His left middle finger works as a an electrical outlet that can be plugged into to provide a power source. And his left ring finger acts as a radio, which can send and receive radio waves.
Phobias and Philias: Nyctophobic (the dark), Acrophobic (Heights), Claustrophobia (Tight Spaces)
Reason for enlistment: Parents signed him up, hoping it'd bring the "man" out of him.
Opinion on the war: Sid is a pacifist through and through. He's fairly sold on the idea that this war will bring the end of the world about. If it were his choice, he'd make it so war was no longer a thing, but he'd not very outspoken about his opinion.
Name: Katherine (Kitty) Smith
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Bisexual
Appearance: Kitty is an average sized girl by most degrees. She stands at an even 5'6 and weighs just about 140 lbs, her body is rather pair shaped, with most of her fat stored around her hips, which are wider than her shoulders. Kitty's skin is a fair shade of pink, the red undertones never fully going away and only darkening to scarlet at her cheeks and nose. Kitty spots a round face, with large, button-like features. Her nose is bulbous, but delicate, and her lips and eyes share a round shape. When smiling, her whole face wrinkles- overall she has a rather childlike appearance. Kitty's circular, emerald eyes sparkle a bright green color and her lashes provide coverage that darkens the color. Her eyebrows are thin, a shade of blonde that makes them disappear if you are far enough away- the same blonde as her hair. Kitty's hair is cut fair short, a perfectly blunt line cuts off right at her chin on either sides- she parts her hair on the right side and flips it over when it isn't pulled back into a nub-of-a-ponytail.
Personality: Kitty has never really fit in anywhere. She’s a generally happy person, with no problem making friends. But making friends and fitting in are two very different concepts. A true optimist, Kitty has developed a tactic of simply moving on if she doesn’t fit into a certain place. She’s tried just about every hobby, taken all sorts of classes, hung out with all sorts of people, and none of it has ever felt right. Kitty’s bubbly personality can be a bit much at times, but it’s hard not to like the girl. She loves helping others and truly believes that everyone has something that they are supposed to do. Though perhaps not the smartest, Kitty has a knack for finding the good in things.
Type of Mech: Extra Arms- Kitty will have two extra appendages attached to bases right below her actual arm on both sides. The bases will be installed at the bottom of her rib cage, and the detachable arms will act as fully functioning appendages, just ditching flexibility for strength.
Phobias and Philias: Entomophobia (Insects)
Reason for enlistment: Kitty joined the force in hope to find a purpose for her life.
Opinion on the war: Kitty isn't someone to develop political opinions, she finds it best just not to get involved. However, when her country is in need of support, she is more than happy to provide. Granted, she does hope it all ends soon.
Name: Leo Kulkarni
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Straight
Appearance: Leo is unfortunately small for his age, though he is certain he still has another growth spurt coming. Leo stands at 5'6 and weighs in at 160 lbs exactly, fortunately for the boy, he has a fairly athletic figure from his high school soccer career. Leo's sun kissed complexion is not due to any sort of tan, granted his time in the sun likely brightens his skin, but can be linked back to his heritage. Leo's father is from India, a fact present in Leo's skin tone and facial features. His face is square shaped, his sharp jaw links to a broad chin. Leo has a small nose, thin lips, and narrow eyes- but his face can light up in an instant. His smile, though rare, is wide and contagious. Leo's eyes are fairly small, but the pupil is proportionately larger than the shape of the eye, a rich brown color that contrasts to the white background of the eye. Leo thick brows are black and shapely, matching under cut hair. With the sides shaved, the hair at the top of Leo's head is only about 3 inches long and easy enough to just brush back to style, his hair is jet black except a single streak of faded red on the left side.
Personality: Leo is selfish to put it simply. Perhaps it’s something that he just has yet to grow out of, but the boy is generally apathetic to all things not concerning him. Through highschool, Leo had a way of getting what he wanted- he was popular, a star athlete, and somehow managed to get good grades all at the same time. Least to say, it wasn’t all thanks to his raw effort. When he wants to do something, Leo is hard working and can be fairly determined- but he’s stubborn and has a real problem with doing what others want. The boy can be fairly pugnacious, an attitude likely developed because he’s never been in an actual fight, but he’s surprisingly sharp tongued and not afraid to get on someone’s bad side.
Type of Mech: Flying Disks- Leo will gain the ability to control two large, flying disks that are fairly thin but razor sharp around all edges. His ability is wireless, his control coming from the chip in his brain, so he doesn't have any visible robotics on his body.
Phobias and Philias: Autophobia (being alone) *very lowkey*
Reason for enlistment: Mandatory Draft. Leo has no actual interest in this war.
Opinion on the war: Leo isn't exactly a pacifist, but he thinks the war is pointless and stupid. Granted, being part of the US, it doesn't heavily affect Leo. But, once he's part of the service, Leo's hatred for the power-hungry nations will only grow.

View attachment 869025
Personality: Thea is very strong willed and mature, but she was abused as a child which is where her aphenphosmphobia arose from, she is afraid of any kind of touch both physical and emotional. Her enhancement greatly helps her as it means she doesn't have to touch her enemy and can stop them touching her. She is a talented singer and loves nature and the ocean.

James stands at height of 6' 8" and only takes off his mask, when it's needed, but under the mask he has Heterochromia, one of his eyes are blue, while the other is hazel, inside his coat he has a wide variety of ammunition.
Personality: James is usually greedy and careless and really doesn’t take other people’s lives seriously, most of the time he's playful making fun of other peoples lives and using it as an act to pickpocket them. He doesn't really care if he fits in and doesn't hold back attacking one of his fellow teammates.
Type of Mech: A robotic hand that become a machine gun or a grenade launcher, and with the right type of ammo a taser.(A classic)
Background*: James is mostly known for being a crook, anarchist, and murderer. He usally scams people for money and he’s really good at it, he has a very bad reputation, but he likes it that way.
Phobias and Philias*:Iophobia (Fear of Poison) Agoraphobia (Fear of being in public or caught in crowds.)

Name: Akira Spencer Johnson
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Straight
Appearance: Despite being a male, Akira has several effeminate features that he most likely got from his mother, his skin is somewhere between Pale and Fair with dark brown eyes and a mop of messy Platinum hair that extends enough to cover some of his ears and forehead. His body height is 5'11" with a slim and athletic build, no signs of fat and only faint signs of muscle.
Personality: Akira is a calm, quiet and laid back individual who looks like he doesn't care about a thing in the world, this happens to me mostly correct as he has a somewhat lazy side to him and gets annoyed if things get too noisy or busy. Despite his lack of taking things seriously at times, he does care about the lives of his comrades even if he gives out sarcastic comments or flirts with pretty ladies--the latter having little intent on wooing them. When in battle however, he does tend to show a more sadistic side and enjoys killing and causing as much damage as possible or "Rip and tear" as he likes to say. He also hates making promises because he doesn't want to live with the regret on breaking them.
Type of Mech: "Predator" - His cybernetics allow Akira to become invisible to the naked eye and even briefly conceals his body temperature. He can also create long and sharp claw like blades from his fingers.
Background: Akira was born between a father with a gambling addiction and his mother who had to work a lot to get food on the table. While Akira did love his parents, he could easily see how much they struggled and the indifference his father had to his own son's existence. From time to time, Akira would often be visited by his grandfather (his mother's father) who was a retired mercenary leader and liked to talk about his best stories with his grandson, one day, Akira begged his grandfather to teach him how to fight so he could become a mercenary and hopefully earn money to help his family. While his mother was reluctant about the idea, she understood that the sooner her son could learn to take care of himself and get a job, the sooner he could help out and make money, after several years of rather harsh training, Akira was honed in to a formidable fighter in terms of guns, melee weapons and of course hand to hand combat.
Phobias and Philias: Hydrophobia (Fear of water, not the kind of water like a glass of water or baths and showers, but the kind such as ponds, lakes and oceans where he could worry about drowning.)
Reason for enlistment: To help his family get rich.
Opinion on the war: He only cares about the money... and his family so they don't have to be poor, he doesn't give a single damn about politics.

Awesome! They're all accepted. There is a slightly problem with Katelyn, being that her ability is actually the same as one of my character's XD. But I'm just gonna assume you began writing your Bio before I did, I'll go ahead and change mine.

Sorry to be picky, but I'm going to hold off on accepting you for just a moment. The content is fine, although a bit out of the ordinary for the setting of the RP, I don't mind it at all. However, this is going to be a literate RP, therefore I'm going to ask that your bio descriptions are more than one sentence long. Lengthen the Appearance and personality, and then you should have no problem being accepted.
 
I've made some edits, is it OK, now?
All good now

I've noticed that charms in general has been pretty slow lately, but I was hoping for atleast a few more RPers. I'll give until the end of tomorrow night, and if nobody else joins I'll open up the thread the day after tommorow (we do have plenty of characters, sense shadow_pup and I made armies)
 
Any chance I can throw a character in to the mix?

Well after a long break and lurking around, I have returned, and this looks fun, ben juggling some of my own sci-fi ideas in my brain for a while, so perhaps this might help. I'll post a character on this soon if that's okay

Reason for enlistment: To help his family get rich.
Opinion on the war: He only cares about the money... and his family so they don't have to be poor, he doesn't give a single damn about politics.
Accepted and good to go

Y'all I am so sorry. I completely forgot about charms for a couple of days. I genuinely don't know how it happened, but I'm out with my dog right now and suddenly recalled that I hadn't started this RP. Because I'm outside and using my phone, I can't post right now. Honestly, I likely won't be able to post until I get off work later today. But, expect the thread to be up before the end of the night. Sorry again.

Because I really need to be in another RP right now because I have amazing time management skills and don’t procrastinate at all nor bite off more than I can chew, I am joining this now. :D
Name: Annabeth Smith
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Demisexual
Appearance: Annabeth has short blonde hair that reaches to the base of her neck, as well as bright blue eyes. She wears rectangular wire-rimmed glasses, though she can switch them out for contact lenses in combat situations. She has a slender body type and a heart-shaped face, a few freckles, and an aura of innocence about her.
Personality: While Annabeth may seem pure at first glance, it’s only through extreme willpower that she’s able to stay positive through hardships. When she’s alone or with someone she trusts implicitly, she shows her pessimistic and self-deprecating nature. She has moderate to severe depression, though she conceals it well. On the outside, she acts cheerful, always willing to lend a helping hand, but she has the mind of a strategist. She also derives an unusual amount of pleasure from playing board games like chess.
Type of Mech: Hijack: There will be a thin cord that extends from the back of Annabeth’s neck, controllable at will. The tip can change shape to plug into any opening, or become sharp enough to create an opening. While not very useful as a weapon in and of itself, whatever it plugs into immediately falls under Annabeth’s control. (I.e. if she stuck the plug in a wild animal, it could be controlled like an extension of her own body, or when plugged into the ground can amplify her senses.) However, it causes extreme mental strain and headaches the more living creatures she uses it on, and also shortens the time limit considerably. Controlling humans is several times harder than any other animal. As an added bonus, it works as a charging port for her phone!
Background*: When Annabeth was younger, her older brother enlisted in the war. He was mechanized with a titanium alloy scorpion tail that could deliver a deadly poison, and was renowned as a great soldier. But one day, Colt went missing, and he was rumored to be dead, though it hadn’t been confirmed. At the sudden loss of a family member, Annabeth’s father took to drinking, and her mother fell ill.
Phobias and Philias*: Claustrophobia (fear of tight spaces), Glossophobia (fear of public speaking)
Reason for enlistment*: She joined the war to find out the truth behind her brother’s disappearance, and to put her family back together before it’s too late.
Opinion on the war*: She hates it for taking her brother away, but sees it as a necessary stepping stone to find him.

Lmao, we're off to a rough start. I was fully expecting this RP to just to die. Accepted, and feel free to make a post- I'll post something to kick off the RP after you do. Sorry if it doesn't live it to expectations, though, we do appear to be moving rather slowly.
