Warsuit
Posted: Mon Jan 13, 2014 7:55 pm
The year is 2035 and for the last ten years Humans have made war in warsuits- fifteen foot tall robotic 'mechs' that have completely revolutionised the art of killing.
But now the nations of Earth have had enough, the warsuits are too expensive for what they do and are seen as an ineffective and outdated form of combat so the warsuits will see one more tour of duty and then the divisions will be scrapped completely... That was the plan anyway.
This all changed when on the first of September 2035, the Devourers made planetfall. Against the biomass consuming Aliens, convential military forces were slaughtered and horribly outmatched.
Fortunately for Earth, the Warsuit Divisions aren't conventional military forces...
The Warsuits
All Warsuits are 15 foot tall bipedual machines, each of them has a basic AI. This allows the Warsuit to act independently in some situations but it is when there is a pilot does the Warsuit truly excell.
The Pilot also acts to teach the AI, therefore each warsuit eventually gains a 'personality' when acting on its own. For example a hot-headed pilot that always rushes in without much thought would have a warsuit that charge headlong into battle, but a more reserved and strategic pilot would have a warsuit that flanks to gain advantage.
Furthermore, the Warsuits are broken down into three classes.
Warsuit Weaponry
Warsuits have access to an armoury of advance weaponry. Warsuit weaponry comes in two styles: Carried and Integrated.
Any weapon can come as carried or integrated, but there are major differences between the two. Carried weapons are held in the hands of the Warsuit. They can be aimed and switched depending on the situation, but they do need to be reloaded.
Integrated weapons however are mounted into the shoulder of a Warsuit. They have a limitless amunition, but they can only fire straight forward and cannot be swapped- an integrated weapon is for life, not just for the mission.
Weapons come in two flavours:
The Pilot
The Pilot is the person in charge of their Warsuit, they are both Engineer and Soldier, having to both operate the Warsuit and coduct field repairs, most pilots are cocky and gung-ho since they know they are the best of the best to be selected for the Warsuit. Pilots always have a side arm on their person when in the field, most usually carry a shotgun or assault rifle in their cockpit incase they ever have to leave the safety of the metal shell.
Most pilots operate in squads, however these squads are frequently jumbled up and rearranged. This is where you come in, you will either be a new Pilot just joining the squadron or an older one who has been drafted in- no matter which, you will be surrounded by strangers. Your pilot will be part of the squad about to go on the last tour on September the first, the Devourers are coming, but they are yet to land.
