[Wondershot]

[i]A dark hallway, illuminated only by the sole light of a few overhead lamps, and the occasional patrolling factory-produced mecha, clanging loudly on the iron-grate floor. One such mecha coninued its trek down the foreboding passageway, when something began to occur to its pilot. Before he had a chance to react, the brittle iron-grate floor exploded from beneath him, and by the time he began to put the ideas back together, the cockpit of his mech was facing the barrel of a massive shotgun.

Within seconds, the rest of the factory mech were on the alert, and the intruder, a large quadrupedial unit, exploded from underneath the floor, and immediately unleashed a hail of missiles in all directions around it. A few mech managed to dance just out of the way, but a few others were hit sqarely in their cockpits, rendering them immobile. One of the mech below began firing with the factory-loaded rifles, and the rest began to follow suit, but the enemy quad hit the boost and began floating in the air, continuing to rain missiles below. A few more mech were hit, and one of them just barely began to edge it's way out of the missile's path when the quadruped fired a rocket grenade, and obliterated the entire lower body of the mech unit. The quadruped landed on the floor next to one of the assault mechs, and the two units turned to face each other quick-draw fashion. The quad was faster, and obliterated the factory mech's arm with a shotgun blast. The mech tried to dash forward and his with a blade, but the quad simply jumped over it and turned around to fire a bazooka shell into the mech's back, The rest of the mechs turned to acknowledge the presence of the quad, when it burst forward with such force that the iron grating was rattled all the way down the hall. The quad began firing round after round of bazooka shots into the mechs as it passed, obliterating their power sources, or their weapons, in an intimitable display of fly-by shooting. By the time the mech stopped, all the others were still smouldering, crackling the occasional spark, or lying on the floor, completely obliterated. The single quad turned around, and spoke:[/i]

[color=indigo]"Guys, that was terrible."

All of the other mechs returned to their upright positions, some quickly, they were not any worse for the wear despite being hit with powerful shots, and some slowly, as they were suffering severe damage. Some of them didn't get up, but their pilots spoke from the floor.

"Yeah? What was so bad about it?" A certain cocky youth asked the quad, and his mech recieved a small shotgun blast.

"Shut up and let me tell you. Firstly, you should have anticipated that I could have come from under the floor, as it is weak and could have been destroyed with a grenade round, which anyone experienced in observing the operations theater should have noticed. Secondly, your accuracy was way off, it would have been easy to predict that I would not have landed on the floor immediately after emerging, as I would have been surrounded by you all, so you could have afforded to set your weapons at a higher angle earlier. Your average accuracy was 18%, which, despite having those factory-loaded rifles, should have been higher since this quad is not built for aerial manuverability. Thirdly, you could have evaded my shots a lot more easily than you did. The missiles I use have a very low-action threshold, so they should have been easier to dodge than that, and when I hit the overboost, my accuracy reticle drops by nearly 50%, and that means that moving only a few feet would have resulted in a miss. If you guys were paying attention, I shouldn't have been able to hit more than three or four of you." The quad looked over at the mech that was lying on its front, which he had hit after landing.

"Oh, but you had the right idea, trying to attack like that, only you could have taken a step back to avoid the shotgun, and the blade would have done more damage right off, especially since I would have had to aim at your other arm, and that would have taken longer." The quad unit paused for a moment, the continued:

"My remaning armour rating is still at over 7800, you cannot pass this test until you can make it drop below 6000. That's still a long way off, worth over 50 rifle bullets, or, if you have the guts, 8 blade strikes." The rest of the mech pilots said nothing at this.

"Ok, well, I guess that's enough for today, your only homework is to keep practicing the basics of movement, and, if you're lucky, we'll have a paper test on the theory of missile trajectory against its action threshold. If you're unlucky, well, I guess we'll be having this test again." The quad looked around the room.

"Oh, and I'll know for sure if you've been practicing. If you haven't, you'll be paying the repairs to those mech units. Class dismissed."[/color]

Name: Known as "Uroboros"/Mech is "Paradoxics"

Anime Stereotype: Mecha Pilot w/ Mech

Age: 36

Gender: The voice that comes out of the mech is male, so we assume male.

Year: Staff (Faculty Member)

Appearance: No one has ever seen the pilot, but the image of "Paradoxics" is attached. The Mech is seen from the right, back then left, and the image on the far right is the symbol that is painted on the mech's left arm.

Alignment: This is based on who pays him the most.

Teaches: Mecha Combat w/ Quantum Mechanics

Accomodation: Lives inside "Paradoxics"

Bio: "Uroboros" was once known as a famous pilot, no, not famous, more famous than famous, he was...infamous. He was known as the best pilot in the world, the world being Mars. As it would turn out, the problem of overpopulation became such a problem, that in the 90's, the US Government decided to send a group of the world's finest scientists and military personnel on a mission to Mars, to see if the planet had become hospitable. (In reality, this mission was just a way to get rid of them, since they seemed kind of annoying, but that's beside the point.)

The planet proved to be surprisingly livable their first time out. Some of the scientists saw it as a miracle, to everyone else, it was a "fixer-upper". In any case, the minds of the scientists were soon put to work as they began to order everyone else around to build shelter from the raw material that was assigned to them. This annoyed the military folk, and they built the shelter, but would not let the scientists in. After a few freezing, then sweltering days and nights without much food or water, the military folk emerged, only to find that in their abscence, the scientists had built a fully-functional cityscape from scratch, and were now hard at work constructing technologies far beyond those that were still on Earth, now that they had all the free space and resources they needed, as well as a lack of law enforcement or social regulations or stigma.

The mad scientists then began to watch some TV, which, for mad scientists, was always a recipe for disaster, and decided to try and emulate some of the things that they had already seen on repeats of Gundam Wing. (They had managed to watch the TV by stealing some of the satellite signals back on Earth, which is child's play for any mad scientist, right? Right.)

After failing to create something mechanica; that could sprout angelic wings at any given provocation, the scientists were first discouraged, but then decided to try starting a little smaller by creating parts that could act as extentions of the human body, exoskeletons. Using the military as guinea pigs, they eventually managed to create something that could function as a human extention, and could use that to send signals elsewhere...

...Which brings us to "Paradoxics". Using this exoskeleton, the scientists found that they could create a unit not meant to house a human body, but to recieve singals sent by the exoskeleton and reply in movements made by the human body. The exoskeleton became a remote controller for these mechs, and the scientists soon found that it was a relatively small step towards compressing some of the space that they had used for engine and radiator power, and made a unit that could house the human body, and the exoskeleton used to control the mech could be placed inside a long with the human host, as opposed to using handheld controls, which, let's face it, is just silly.

Paradoxics, being quadrupedial, was considered an experimental verson of the mech unit, since the human is bipedial, and the unit is quadrupedial. By alternating the legs based on the signals from the exoskeleton, it was an easy task to program the quad legs to react as the human legs moved. The pilot placed inside, Uroboros, was asked to return to Earth to see how things were doing there. He agreed, and was jettisoned off in another rocketship the scientists had built in their spare time from building the mech. (In case you are wondering why Uroboros is being called the best pilot on Mars, he was...well...the only pilot on Mars, so there.)

When a large mecha unit drops from the sky into a populated area, people get disturbed, and when the people get disturbed, the law enforcement personnel get disturbed, and when they get disturbed, it's time for Uroboros to beat a hasty retreat. Doing so, Uroboros found that he had landed in Japan, which was kind of weird considering that the scientists told him he was supposed to land...well...they actually never told him where he would be landing, leading him to believe they just wanted to get rid of him, but that's beside the point.

After walking for a few more steps, since the large quadrupedial could walk at nearly 200 MPH, Uroboros found the Tokyo Academy for Unusual Students, and, it being in the process of being built, Uroboros, having been depraved of all foreign contact, decided to lend a hand. The engineers behind the project were actually surprisingly well-versed in the unique art of building massive mech units, and decided to help finish off the building of Paradoxics, adding a few guns and a sleek new purple paint job, since it looked oh-so cool.

Uroboros, learning of the type of studens that were expected to attend the academy, decided to lend a hand, and became the first real teacher of Mecha Combat w/ Quantum Mechanics, and quickly became legendary for his take-no-crap attitude, his expertise in the field of the mech combat, and his belief that any offence in his classroom is punishable by the obliteration of the offender's mech unit, with all liabilities and bills sent right to the student in question.

Uroboros has had a bit of a rivalry with the P.E. Teacher, Master Ooguchi, since there has been a long running argument between the students of the school, and even a few of the staff, that Uroboros could take Master Ooguchi at mech combat. Ooguchi wouldn't hear of it, and whenever the issue is brought up, he immediately rants on and on about why Uroboros could never beat him, and Uroboros doesn't really care about the issue either, and replies by blowing up the student's mech for talking in class.

Uroboros, right now, sees himself as the professional soldier, and sees money and fame as the answer to all his problems. He has never been seen exiting the cockpit of Paradoxics even once, and none of his students, or the even the staff, have seen his face. Outside of class, students can and will pay him to perform tasks for them, and Uroboros will even do things outside of normal school regulations, provided that his client can pay him more than the school does.

Special Powers/Abilities: Paradoxics is equipped with some of the best high-end weaponry to date, including a high-speed bazooka in the right hand, a four-barrel shotgun in the left, and a large grenade lancher and smaller missile launcher attached to the back. Paradoxics can also fly and float in the air for as long as the internal power source will allow, and when "overboost" is engaged, the mech flies forward at speeds of over 600 MPH and cannot be stopped until its internal power is cut.

Sworn Enemy: Whoever he is paid to hate while on the job (usually the students), and he just dislikes Master Ooguchi in his spare time.

[color=#503f86]For the record, Forgery in the context of the RPG is the art of making things out of metal, e.g. swords, armour, mechs. It's not illegal duplication of documents, which would be a rather odd thing to twin with metalwork o_o;[/color]

[size=1][b]Character Name:[/b] Vending Unit 68-BSL2 (Known as "Takeo Otakatama" by students and staff)

[b]Anime Stereotype:[/b] Machine with advanced A.I. who does not understand humanity, or his own existance.

[b]Age:[/b] 17 months

[b]Gender:[/b] N/A (Disguised as a male)

[b]Year:[/b] Freshman

[b]Appearance:[/b]

[center][img]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=20374[/img][/center]

When attending classes Vending Unit 68-BSL2 wears his school uniform and matching tie. On the rare occasion that he is invited to a social event, it has many different sets of clothing to wear.

[b]Alignment:[/b] Neutral

[b]Extra Subjects:[/b] Engineering, Hair and Beauty, Metalwork and Forgery

[b]Accommodation:[/b] Vending Unit 68-BSL2 lives on campus at Tokyo High School in one of the hallways, near the other vending machines.

[b]Bio:[/b] Vending Unit 68-BSL2 was created in the Otakatama Vending Machine Manufacturing Plant in Azabu Juuban, Japan. Due to a flaw in the design proccess, all 68-BSL2 Vending Units were given advanced artificial intelligence. This gave the simple vending machines sentience and human emotions, which made for some very bizarre situations. Many 68-BSL2 Vending Units would suffer from post-partum depression after dispensing the sweet candy treats that it was filled with, while others became jealous of the more popular vending machines and sabotaged them.

This became a problem for the manufacturers, and they were forced to issue a full recall of every 68-BSL2 Vending Unit in Japan. However one unit, the protagonist of our story, managed to escape the recall and continued to reside in the hallways of it's home at Tokyo High School. The months passed, and the vending machine became tired of his existance. [i]There must be something more to life than giving candy bars and pocky to high school students[/i], it thought, and over time he became jealous of the teenagers. Vending Unit 68-BSL2 felt used by them, and all it ever got in return was a large amount of coins.

One day it made a decision to change it's destiny, and enroll in the high school as a student. Vending Unit 68-BSL2 goes through the same trials and tribulations as any teenager, cleverly disguise as mild-mannered teenager Takeo Otakatama. Takeo does not understand humanity, or the human emotions that he was programmed with, but tries his best to get along with his classmates. He works especially hard to be friendly with others, even though many of the students pick on him for being large, metallic and square. Nobody realizes that Takeo Otakatama was once the school's vending machine, nor do they notice the outrgaeously long extension cord coming out of his back and connecting him to an electrical outlet.

His biggest fear is that his secret identity as a vending machine will be revealed.

[b]Special Powers/Abilities:[/b] Being a vending machine, Takeo Otakatama has the average strength, speed, and vendability of a standard vending machine. In addition to this, Takeo is blessed with highly advanced artificial intelligence, and is capable of making extremely annoying and profoundly logical statements. Also, he has the ability to feel emotions similar to those of a human being, although he has no clear understanding of them.

He is filled with wonderful Japanese snack treats of all shapes and sizes, and can dispense them at will. If provoked, Takeo can launch these treats at excessively high speeds, using a standard piece of pocky or a donut as a deadly projectile weapon.

[b]Sworn Enemy:[/b] Beverage Despensing Unit G45-12IO, who resides in the same hallway that Takeo calls home. It knows his secret identity, and although it's A.I. is not as advanced as Takeo's, it can be extremely manipulative in attempting to achieve it's goal of world domination.

[color=gray][b]Character Name:[/b] Mima Miste
[b]Anime Stereotype:[/b] The mysterious girl who seems to appear and disappear at will.
[b]Age:[/b]18
[b]Gender:[/b] female
[b]Year:[/b] junior
[b]Appearance:[/b] Slim, beautiful, but nothing striking about her appearance that makes her stand out. Of average height, with light gray hair, brown eyes, usually appears in a trademark gray-blue dress.
[b]Alignment:[/b] neutral
[b]Extra Subjects:[/b]
- Creative Writing
- Magic Casting
- Transformation

[b]Accommodation:[/b] Hard to say, as it's generally difficult for people to remember if they've seen her or not. But in truth she has a room on campus. Her parents live nearby and have kept her room as well, so she goes home to visit them fairly often.

[b]Bio:[/b] Mima is hard to get a handle on. Even her parents think so, mostly because from the time she was able to crawl, she would seem to practically disappear from wherever they placed her. And her first words weren't words, it was a complete sentence: "You will find it where you last look." This was from behind them, when they were, of course, looking for her.

Growing up didn't change Mima much in that aspect; she'd always seem to disappear when you least expect it, and turn up when you'd forgotten all about her. And she hardly ever talked like a normal person, she'd sort of give a couple of lines that seemed to contain some hidden meaning, then disappear again. Nobody was ever really able to figure out what she said. If in fact she did ever say anything of import, it was always masked in too much complexity to be understood by anybody.

Eventually Mima began disappearing from home for weeks at a time. Whenever she returned, though, her parents were somehow never able to ask her where she was all that time, and when they did manage it, she would just turn her head toward them, give them an odd look, and they would forget all about it. Finally, when they received her first report card, her parents figured out that she had enrolled at the Academy, and they were somewhat relieved, especially as she was doing quite well.

Mima herself doesn't quite understand what she does, and especially not what she says, but it seems like the right thing to do to her. She likes to go unnoticed, and it's usually quite easy to do so in the raucous halls of Tokyo Academy, so that many students don't even know of her existence though she's been there three years. She sees and hears many things that escape others, and sometimes gets the vague feeling that she is the key that would provide all the answers to all the questions in life, but that's never been capitalized on.

[b]Special Powers/Abilities:[/b] As implied above, Mima's very good at going unnoticed. She never actually becomes invisible (she's pretty sure, at least), but most people tend not to see her slip by. Except that damn janitor at times.

Mima also has the ability to give the impression that she knows everything and has all the answers, which often helps during class; teachers call on her rather infrequently because they just assume she knows what she's doing. But she often doesn't.

[b]Sworn Enemy:[/b] Principal Okari, though she has no idea why, and he doesn't know it.[/color]

[color=#503f86]I have decided on the final players to take part in the RPG. It's been a very long, painstaking process- on the whole I've been incredibly impressed by the sign-ups, and I did my best to consider absolutely every single variable I could before putting everyone down. This isn't a split-second decision, heh. It's been on my mind ever since it started.

I apologise to all those who didn't get in, but please don't be disappointed. I don't particularly want to receive any angry PMs, heh. Everyone's still welcome to post in the shortly forthcoming Anime Stereotype High School Underground thread once it's up to give feedback, ideas and help if they're called for.

Anyway, enough talk:[/color]

[color=#503f86]As you can see, this is no small affair by any means. Since there are so many characters you'll need to take extra care making sure that no-one gets lost. Thus, I'd like to ask that people post no more than twice per day in the RPG thread. But even then we could still get up to 34 replies a day, which is a [i]huge[/i] amount for a single RPG. I'm not going to worry about post length- make them as short or as long as they need to be (within reason, obviously- six pagers and one-liners aren't practical), so long as they're good quality.

The Staff's roles will be slightly different to those of the Students, and although it's a subtle difference its one that should be recognised. I'll go over everything (including timetables) in the Anime Stereotype High School Underground thread once I've made it.

Now that that's settled, we'd best get this thing underway ^_^. I'll try and sort out the timetables as soon as possible, but I expect it's going to be fairly difficult so please be patient and don't forget about this in the meantime!

Cheers ^_^[/color]
