Okay everyone, this'll be my first ever participation-based fic, and only my second ever fic, so please, don't throw any temper tantrums. What I want from each of you, regarding your own characters for inclusion is (with examples given for my own main character):
Name: Garth Meyer
Age: 19
Gender: Male
General Appearance (What they look like): quite tall, fair skinned, black shoulder length hair (when not up in Mohican/Mohawk), grey eyes, scar on right cheek (don't go lookiing for this in Dawn of Chaos yet, it'll come up later).
Preferred Mode of dress (What clothes they wear most of the time): wears punk styles outside of zoid cockpit, e.g. leather jacket, jeans, Mohican. Wears military grade flight suit inside zoid cockpit (to help him withstand extreme G-Forces)
Personality Traits: Introverted, Contemplative, bucks the trend on a regular basis. Prone to going berserk in major battles, losing himself into the emotions of his zoid.
Is your character a Zoid Warrior? Y/N (If not, what sort of background character are they?) Yes
If your character is a Zoid Warrior, What zoid do they own? (Warning, stringent reality checks will be applied to zoids which are your own creations, don't stick too many heavy weapons on them and then expect them to stand up straight, let alone run fast) My character pilots the Dragowing, a flying draconic zoid with green armour (made of the newly developed Ultimium alloy) with both blades and laser cannons in its wings, basic energy shielding, bombs of various types (please specify types when you're writing), and a mouth mounted cannon firing a stream of superheated plasma.
If your character is a Zoid Warrior, do they possess an Organoid, if so, details of name, appearance and personality must be included. This character has no organoid, yet- later I'm not sure about. (Please not too many characters with organoids, it'll mean I'll have to give 90% of the bad guys organoids)
What Ambitions for the future do your characters have? My character hopes to be a great zoid pilot, but has as his main ambition becoming a strong enough pilot that he does not have to kill opponents, under any circumstances (he's seen too much death already, see my other fic, Dawn of Chaos for details)
What Character Flaws does your character have (do not write none under character flaws, nobody is perfect)? He is indecisive and can, under pressure, temporarily lose his grasp on sanity (We all hope it doesn't get quite that far), also feels incredibly guilty anytime he has to use extreme measures (e.g. his zoid's top attack)
What other hobbies does your character have? My character listens to Rock music, much of it Punk, studies ancient legends about all things zoids, and collects swords.
Okay folks, now that we have all the basics down for your characters (back stories would be appreciated but are not essential), I'll run the basic storyline past you, so here goes:
In the years since the royal cup, relations between the Helic Republic, the Guylos Empire and the Chazidi Free States, a rough coalition of island states that lived in near perpetual martial law, situated off the coast of the mainland shared by both of the other two governments. Now war has broken out between the Chazidi Free States (the term free in this case meaning free from the control of either of the other two and not being anything that reflected on the civil liberties of its people) and the other two governments, the only thing protecting the isles from the assaults of the other nations being their elite air and sea forces, the Lightning Dragons and the Black Sharks. For this reason, pilots of the zoid battle commission, who do not work in the Chazidi Free States, have been drafted to face this threat to society at large. Now you know that, you can create and submit your own characters, the first ten zoid warriors receiving major roles in the storyline and the next forty or so receiving minor roles at the very least. Mercenary Pen signing off, adios.
