TEKNIK

50 Years into mankind’s future, the human race was looking promising. Technology, medicine and just the general state of the race was much improved from the greedy, squabbling, selfish rabble we know today. The advancement of the space program was also going well. Advancements in numerous fields including a faster than light drive were in development but this, one of mankinds greatest acheivments would prove to be the start of its downfall. The energy surge of the initial 'Jump' attracted attention to our little planet. Attention it could do without.
Just 2 Years later, the assault began. A fleet of ships, identifying themselves as the Teslan's approached under a flag of peace, drawn to the planet after picking up distant traces of unknown energy. They declared the Earth would be granted a place within their empire and though the governments of Earth declined, it was soon realised that it was not an offer, it was a statement of fact. The chance to accept was merely an opportunity to avoid human casualties. What we called a war, they called Pest control.

When the assault began it was revealed that the Teslan’s were a robotic race, roughly 40ft tall though some varied, and they were capable of camouflage. It was all reminiscent of an old cartoon. Vehicles, Machinery, and worst of all, Weapons began converting themselves into Robotic soldiers. Teslan Infantry, hiding on earth for years, locked in their alternate forms until a signal from their main force began the assault, began to devastate the population. We never stood a chance.
They occupied Earth for decades, harvesting the resources and tapping the potential of mankind. Because of their logical, mechanical nature they saw the human imagination as a great asset. Where they had ’proved’ faster than light was impossible, and given up on the project, humans had dared to ignore ’fact’ and succeeded.

It was this that led to the creation of the Biomek. The human resistance, though small and limited had dug itself in well, and deep enough that they couldn’t be simply dug out. The sheer size of the Teslan's prevented them accessing the small sewers and service corridors the humans utilized and so logically they would need to use troops of a similar size, and also logically the best thing of human size to use would be an actual human. They rounded up and captured a number of human subjects and subjected them to Teslan technology, adding their DNA to a Teslan pre-form. Essentially an Infant. This pre-form would absorb, and bond with its host, creating a Teslan/human hybrid, literally a living, growing machine. Since the pre-form was a blank slate however it would be the humans thoughts and memories that would take control and would need to be wiped. Before the reprogramming could be completed however a Resistance raid caused a malfunction in another laboratory experimenting in Temporal mechanics. The Biomek's were caught in the accident and vanished.

They appeared 40 years in the past. On the exact day that the first faster than light jump was made. Unfortunately, as most of these things go, they werent exactly alone.
---------------------

Basically the Cast of this RPG will play the Biomek's. They are designed as a Military unit and as such will not just be a bunch of super powered robot people, their functions will be specific and i would hope for some level of maturity from those taking these roles instead of going Psycho-bang-bang with everything, i will be strict against power gamers.
I myself will be playing the one non-powered charachter in the RPG, a bog standard guy that finds/helps/houses them etc.
All Biomek's appear human and have access to minor functions/weapons in this form. They are able to upgrade themselves however to a robotic armoured mode where they can access other functions such as weapons, transformations (full body or just limbs etc) etc though they are all robotic in nature. If hurt they cant go to a hospital, you'd need to open up a panel and work on the mechanics etc.
As a point of reference theres an example (though more cartooney) here.

The roles i need are....(and i want to see one of each before any doubles are posted)

Demolitions: (RESERVED) Self explanitary, deals in explosions and structural expertise, is usually the most heavily armoured to handle explosions. Has good chemical knowledge to mix makeshift explosives and also strong for when a more hands on approach is needed.
Communications: (RESERVED) Good with bugging devices, sound manipulation etc. Code breaker and strategist with strong computer skills and affinity for any Comm device from Telegrapgh to CB radio up to satellite links etc.
Field Tek: (RESERVED) Essentially a mechanic of sorts but acts primarily as Medic to Biomeks. Deals with all internal workings of the team.
Mechanic: The true gearhead, adept at using almost any Technology to their advantage as well as upgrades for the team (weapons/conversions that arent strictly 'medical') and primarily external.
Sharpshooter: (RESERVED) Self explanitory, most heavily armed with Ranged weapons.
Scout: (RESERVED) Stealth and infiltration expert. Specialises in silent and melee weaponry as well as Stealth Tech.

Any weapons/equipment in signups should reflect the role you've chosen. Also despite keeping the personalities/memories of the humans bonded with the Pre-form the basic knowledge to operate in these roles is in your heads etc. Transformer style vehicle modes are allowed however note no mass shifting so you cant suddenly become a huge tank etc. The general human shape can be fiddled with though so 'larger' than normal humans is allowable. (Think comic book, Like x-men where Juggernaut or Collossus always seemed to be 15ft tall)

*hides*

[Ultimate Charizard]

All reserved, will be interesting to see when any actual signups get posted lol.

Ill edit my own in later but as i said above im not following the charachter rules above so im not stealing positions etc.

[Heald]

Can I reserve Demolitions?

[Crazy Elf Boy]

Name: Kai Midori (Code Name: Ghost's Shadow)
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Looks: Normally Kai is just under 6 feet with pitch black hair which is normally kept short just enough so that he can still see out of his eyes. His street apparel is a short sleeve black shirt with no discernable symbols what so ever, while on his legs he wears a pair of long black jeans.
His robotic form is like his normal form but his whole body is covered in a metallic black silvery colour. A visor appears over his eyes which have a myriad of functions, for example he can analyse his opponents move, act as binoculars, or control his minions (explained later). His robotic form is as aerodynamic as possible allowing him to dodge nearly every single incoming attack that is thrown at him.
Personality: Because of the Biomek experiment and his new role as a scout in the group he was assigned to, Kai is always extremely quiet (since that is basically his profession) and will hardly ever say something unless he is ordered to. His also seems to be constantly hiding blending into the background so not many people know he is actually there making him the perfect scout. But other then that Kai is a pretty stand up guy who feels a strong bond between him and his team mates even if they don't realise it and will use his powers to help them when ever he can.
Background: Before Teslan was turned into a BioMek he was a young teacher at a local high school under the full control of the Teslan. He always had a deep resentment for the Teslan since he was a small child since a group of the raided his house and killed of his mother, his father died shortly after that during a failed resistance raid. With both of his parents dead, Kai was taken into the "foster" care of the Teslan and raised to be a teacher who would then have to spread the propoganda of the Teslan's. Because of his history he was deemed a prime candidate for the BioMek experiments (Hope that is ok with everything)
Class: Scout
Abilities: Kai has a few abilities.
1: He is a master of hand to hand combat and can inflict serious damage.
2: While his hands are in their robotic form he is able to use an unlimited number of small daggers which can either be thrown or used as a bladed weapon. He can also manifest other covert killing weapons such as Garrote Wire and Small needles.
3: While in his robotic form he can coat his skin with a shiny filament containing trillions of nanobots which project the image from one side to the other causing the illusion of complete invisibility.
4: In his body he can manufacture small Nanobot creatures, these creatures can break/create/rearrange atoms causing them to become different substances. This is useful when he needs to break into places because he can convert solid wall into weaker substances which he can break through (hope that isn't Over powered) so he can pretty much change the structure of anything he touches.
5: The last of his nano bot uses is information gathering.
Other: None

Hope that is alright UC

Name: Zane MacNab (Codename: Claymore)
Age: 29
Gender: Male
Looks: Normal: He is roughly 6' 4" and has long, scruffy reddish-brown hair. He often sports unkempt facial hair and currently has a goatee. He is quite muscular and is quite an imposing figure. He wears a tartan headband, a white tanktop and jeans tucked into army boots. He also wears a miltary camouflage jacket and matching hat. He also carries a green army-style backpack that also has a belt around his waist with various compartments on it.
Robotic: Armour plating covers his head, torso and legs. His lower left arm can transform into a multi-purpose grenade launcher and his entire right arm can transform into a rocket launcher. His shoulders, fists and feet also have an extra layer of armour.
Personality: A loud, rough around the edges, somewhat crazy Scot. He loves the thrill of the fight and his embedded knowledge of demolitions has given him a new love for loud explosions. He is quite dedicated to his role and is a loyal and trustworthy friend, ready to put himself in danger for the good of the team. He is sociable and enjoys a good laugh, as well as a cigar and a whiskey, both of which he carries around at all times. He may sometimes seem unprofessional and dangerous, but his robotic upgrades ensure he knows exactly what is going to happen, even if he doesn't overtly show that to be the case.
Background: Born in Glasgow, he was an aspiring rugby player and when the Teslans came to Scotland, he was taken in by a Resistance evacuation, offering some support to them and even beginning to train as a soldier within the Resistance. However, they were eventually captured in the United States and soon afterwards he was selected by the Teslans to take part in the Biomek project.
Class: Demolitions
Abilities: Vast knowledge of chemicals and chemical reactions and how to make explosives on the fly. His eyes are capable of various degrees of vision, including short-range Heat and Vapour Detection as well as targeting systems and predicted motion/flight paths of objects. He can also detect wall cavities and such and see through walls into their cavaties to an extent, in order to either detect structural weak points or explosives. Every explosive he fires, lays or sets is embedded with a microchip that he can see much like on a HUD, as well as its distance from him and its fuse timing. He can remotely detonate these explosives. He can fire a variety of explosives from his grenade launcher, such as grenades, plastic explosives, mines and incendinary weapons. The rockets he fires can be customized from heat-seeking to laser-targeted to cluster weapon. His shoulders, hands and feet have extra armour in order to break through walls, floors and other structural elements.
Other: Character Theme

[Ultimate Charizard]

Thats fine CEB but im going to limit the nanobots to not being able to break down Organic material, only Minerals. Otherwise we have anything from 'Water into Wine' to breaking down people and watching them disolve....etc.

[Ultimate Charizard]

Still need an Engineer for this...and the 2 people that asked me to reserve spots for them need to post a signup too.

[Crystal Tears]

Name: Luka Milan
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Looks: Luka stands at 5’9’’ with shaggy brown hair. His bangs are somewhat uneven and cover his eyes a little (which are a golden-auburn colour), they grow longer as you get closer to the ears, and layered. Behind the ears the hair is short and layered, and gelled (a small amount) to spike a little. His skin is fair with only a slight tan, and he’s not overly built. He’s bordering on a lean build (yay somewhat defined XD), but overly appears slim (he looks more like a runner). Luka wears a white tank top with a songbird design on the upper right shoulder and black pants; with a dark brown belt and a plain silver buckle. Over top he has a black leather coat (comes down to his knees) that has semi-wide sleeves and a high collar that can hide about half his face. It leaves about 3 feet not zippered at the bottom so it’s… I dunno, got some flare? XD
He also has a satchel on his waste/hip which carries random things for communications, decoding, hacking what-have-you.
In his robotic form he looks relatively the same, only he as lines all over his body glowing a bright, almost aqua blue. His eyes seem to loose their life and turn a metallic blue with a dull glow. Luka in this form generates a type of energy shield that replaces the lack of armor his has. He can fling EMPs and small energy orbs at people/things for an attack (an EMP attack on a human fries them like in a matrix…)
Personality: He’s definitely curious, and that gets him in trouble. He can find almost anything amazing, whether complex or simple; though he prefers to let his imagination wonder how something works rather than take it apart. He is extremely smart and grasps things easily, though he tends not to use technical terms what-so-ever so he’s teammates often get confused. Though he does have the gift of gab and the people-person sort of personality, he often just listens (he’s a very good listener). He never picks a side when the matters are really important; he likes to stay neutral until he hears both sides of the story. He has a serious side to him that shows when he’s listening or working on something; otherwise though he’s light-hearted and approachable. When angry (which rarely happens) he’ll go silent and anti-social.
Background: He was given to the Teslans, the rest is TBR. (I will come up with a better one later *nods*)
Class: Communications
Abilities: Anything that’s computerized is potentially a weapon for him or a tool. He can beat virtually any computerized defense on the human network, and for the most part is undetectable to them. Being he’s communication he’s both a walking inceptor (picking up almost all communications) and a jamming tower (ability to jam almost all communications around him). Any sort of device that communicates in some way for humanity comes naturally too him. He has super-hearing; sonar and echolocation are passive abilities for him for the most part. For weaponry he often relies on Sound and EMPs, but because he’s not overly built for direct combat, he’s quite agile and speedy to get out of a tight spot fast.
Other: Nothing…?

[Asilynne]

Name: Detta Nightingale
Age: 25
Gender: Female
Looks: Lively red hair, green eyes with oval shaped glasses (like this but with red hair.) She wears all black with a white labcoat and metal bands that take up her whole lower arms. As for robot form Her hair becomes a helmet with a lavendar vizor so her head is fully sealed, The labcoat becomes a shiny metallic very pale blue and folds up to form wings/armour plates around her. And she has a red cross symbol over her heart. (thanks gav). She has blades that come from her elbows and her wrists and small guns on the top of her lower arms, though she will refuse to use them for violence even to save her own life.
Personality: very peaceful, she wont harm any living thing, even if it poses a threat to her. Wont even make a move to save herself from harm if it meant hurting something else to do so. She would run away, talk it over, or avoid the thing that causes her harm (shes not suicidal) but she would rather die than taint her soul with violence. Would do anything to ease another creatures suffering. Is very quiet and yet kind and gentle, she has a lot of compassion, even for her enemies. Believes everyone has a right to live and would feel it her duty to offer aid to an injured enemy. Basically needs to be protected because otherwise she would undoubtably come to harm since not everyone is as peaceful as she. (If youve read Wheel of time, think the "Way of the Leaf" and thats like what she follows).
Background: Was a doctor for humans before the change, she was always one to want to mend everything thats hurt or in pain. Is a buddhist and cant bring herself to cause any pain or death so she has made a living out of the opposite. Since she wouldnt fight back she was chosen to become one of the halfbreeds so to speak. (more to be revealed later.
Class: Medic
Abilities: She can directly interface with any of her kind and run a diagnostic, targeting flaws in programming and circuitry as well as organic injuries. After the diagnostic she can use the tools in her mechanical arm bands to treat and correct any injury swiftly and effectively. Can also run self diagnostics in seconds and mend problems internally provided she isnt damaged too badly.(more as I think of them)
Other: The gear in her wristbands include Cutting lasers, mini-welding gear, diagnostic cables, injector tubes filled with various nano repairing bots and organic innoculations. She has within her the ability to wipe another of her kinds current mind and personality, as well as her own, lying dormant within her is the new programming the teslans intended for her and her fellows. But she would never use this ability because of her very strong aversion to harming others.

[Ultimate Charizard]

Right, we could still use an actual Mechanic and were waiting for MC's signup afte he reserved (Sorry Denny lol). And now heres mine.

Name: Cal Corbec
Age: 28
Gender: M
Looks: Stands just over 6ft tall. Is well built and muscular but only in the sense of someone who's worked hard all his life and not just some gym bunnie. Has short brown hair which is kept neat in a messy fashion. His fringe sticks out a little and there is the faint hint of grey around the temples. Has blue eyes and generally wears Jeans, casual boots and a black t-shirt. Only shaves when needed (if hes going somewhere) and so he sometimes has the makings of a beard before it annoys him and he gets rid of it etc.
Personality: A bit of a loner these days. Has the occaisional friend he talks to in town and is friendly enough with his customers. Likes to help where he can and make himself feel usefull without getting in peoples way. Is a very proud but lonely man and hates people feeling pity or accepting help from others. Hates feeling helpless.
Background: Was a military man for almost 8 years. Accheived the rank of Corporal, working primarily as a field mechanic before gaining his own command. His career was cut short however when his unit came under attack. He was working in the motor pool at the time when the garage caught an artillery shell. His body was riddled with shrapnel and although most was removed, and his life saved, he never regained full use of his leg due to shards still buried in the joint. As such he walks with a limp though refuses to use aides like crutches. Unable to keep pace for front line work he was given a position as head of the motor pool but feeling too much like it was sympathy for a lame soldier, turned down the position and retired from the army.
Ironically he realised his mechanic skills were still his best chance of making a living so used his retirement pay to buy and run a small garage.
Abilities: Standard Military training as well as experience in command of a unit. Skilled Marksman, tactician and Mechanic.

[Mystic_clown]

Name: Griff Cordan
Age: 32
Gender: Male
Looks: Griff stands at roughly six foot with a lean build and a thin face. His dark hair, which is showing some signs of greying, has been tied back into a ponytail, and his left, brown eye is covered by an eye patch (whether his eye truly is useless or he wears it for show is uncertain). He normally dresses casually, wearing a white shirt, brown pants, a brown coat and sometimes a matching hat.
As for his robot form, its like he’s covered in a slick, silver armour, a dark glass visor covering his eyes. A number of ports can be seen on his arms, allowing weapons to be attached over them.
Personality: Griff can be described as slack and a bit of a joker, always making wisecracks and sarcastic comments about people, especially if it gets a rise out of people. He can never seem to get serious, even in a battle situation. However, now and again, there is a chance that he could be serious, and when he is, watch the hell out.
Background: A former member of the resistance before the Teslans came. He was one of the few members with any actual combat training prior to the invasion, having been a part of the military, particularly a sniper. However, during a skirmish, his eye was damaged and he and his group were eventually captured by the Teslans. Now, as a part of the Biomek project, he was praised as one of their best successes in the firearms division.
Class: Sharpshooter
Abilities: Griff has an advanced targeting system in his eyes, allowing him to aim with insane accuracy and in case of some weapons, even lock on. He’s able to attach weapons over his arms. While he can’t use his hands like this, they effectively stop him from being disarmed. These weapons include assault rifles, sniper rifles, even a rocket launcher. He also has a small grappling hook on his back, allowing him to hang in the air and shoot.
Other: He’s massive fan of snacks, and will always be seen eating some.
