The Immortal Grand Prix, IGPX for short. The most popular competition in the mid 21st century. Giant mechs race against each other and beat each other into submission to take the checkered flag. Normally races are divided by one team against another, each team featuring 3 mechs designed after their respective positions, the speedy forward, the balanced midfielder, and the brutal defender. There are three leagues. IG-3, IG-2, IG-1, each more professional than the rest. Now, a new generation of racers will compete one on one in the IG-I (IGPX Independent) in attempt to being accepted into the IG-3 and eventually climbing to the IG-1 championships.

 

 

Rules and Stuff

-Please keep swearing to a minimum

-Romance is allowed. Nothing more explicit than a kiss

-You must stick with the RP. Let me know if you'd like to retire, but if you just leave, we will all scorn you

-If someone's not posting, assist me in pestering them to do so

-follow this and the official thread

-This topic can also be used for general discussion as to what's occurring in the actual RP

-multiple characters allowed. Up to one of each mech type per RPer

-Remember you're amateur pilots driving giant robots, nothing too ninja when your fighting in a race

-Races are three laps. Each page in the RP will account for a lap. When courses grow more specific, I'll mention what obstacles come to pass after a certain amount of posts.

-If you're not racing, feel free to account for off the track drama with fellow characters

-Type Fight to the Finish at the end of your sign up sheet to prove that you've read all these

-I guess you're allowed to sabotage mechs before a race, but if you're disqualified from the IGPX either for that, or foul racing, or off the track offense, you'll be banned from the RP as well

-We're starting out in the IG-I, so you'll be racing for yourself, but eventually you'll have to form a team consisting of one of each mech type and you'll probably be stuck with them until the RP dies/finishes

-This RP will last a very long time. Starting out in the IG-I and progressing all the way to the IG-1. It'll probably end with the IG-1 championships. If you'd like, we could all do another season in the IG-1 afterward

 

 

Sign-Up Sheets:

 

Name: First name Last Name (potential nickname)

Age: 15 would be prodigious, 16+ works too, probably less than 30 would help too

Gender: Male or Female. One or the other, they can look both or cross-dress if you want; they had to be born one or the other though.

Appearance: Pictures appreciated. Descriptions accepted.

Bio: Your character's past. Primarily what got them involved in the IGPX

Mech Type: Forward (primarily speed based) Midfielder (Balanced and maneuverable) or Defender (heavy hitting)

Color Scheme: Your mech gets two colors to decorate it

Other Mech Details: Patterns, etc. Optional section.

Mech Upgrade: You get one custom upgrade to your mech, you get another upgrade every time you advance a league. These can enhance performance or give you an edge in battle. I'll make a judgement call on whether or not it's allowed

 

 

My character:

 

 

 

Name: Blake Blazer

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Appearance:

 

Bio: Blake has always had a need for speed. Once he turned sixteen, he began training. The next year, he applied for the IGPX Independent. He realized the thrill of fighting and his hasty impulsiveness has gone down slightly and was given a brother: bloodthirst. In a figurative sense of course. Blake just enjoys being able to beat someone. Fighting and racing had become his favorite things and he was ready to excel in it all.

Mech Type: Midfielder

Color Scheme: Black and Red

Other Mech Details: Mostly black. The red is a lightning-like pattern along back and limbs and flamy on the mech's shoulders

Mech Upgrade: Sonic pulse at the end of each of the mech's limbs to either give him a quick burst of speed or deliver a brutal blow. Can only use 5 times in one race.

Well, there goes a possible grappling hook.

Save it for the big leagues

Listening to the app gamer radio. It's a dream come true.

Save it for the big leagues

I've changed my mech upgrade to something that's hopefully more acceptable for this stage of the RP. (I'm probably still getting that cannon later though.)

(Sorry I'm late to the party.)

 

Name: Waldo Johnson, although most call him Wacky Waldo.[/size]Age: 18[/size]Gender: Male[/size]Appearance: Long, thin, and pale, with messy brown hair and a scar on his cheek.[/size]Bio: Waldo has always been a little "off". His bizarre personality and hyperactivity has caused most people around him to think he's insane. Whether he's really crazy or not is unknown. Despite seeming like a psychopath, however, he actually doesn't enjoy hurting people, and tends to feel bad about it when he harms anyone on the track. He tries to hide that trait, however. After all, if the other racers knew about that, they'd probably think he was a weakling. He has remarkable reflexes and improvisation skills, which is why he recently decided to become a racer, and enjoys it very much.[/size]Mech Type: Midfielder[/size]Color Scheme: Lime green and yellow.[/size]Other Mech Details: Mostly green, but with two yellow lines down the middle and a yellow happy face on each arm.[/size]Mech Upgrade: Shock absorbers in the arms and legs, which can prevent a lot of damage when the mech is slammed into a wall or comes crashing to the ground.[/size]

 

Fight to the Finish[/size]

That's better.

Just follow the topics and you're good.

Leon Davis (strider)

18

Male

http://m.weheartit.com/entry/65244750

Bio: the first think he could ever remember was seeing mechs race it out on a track. He enjoyed watching them and was almost bewildered by the structure and function of them. He could careless about what type of mech he controls but he prefers to hang back, analyzing the opponents As he races. Leon may be considered more of a mechanic than a racer but he does both all the same

Mech type: Defender

Color scheme: a holy white with gold trim.

Other details: nothing really special. The mech looks like a holy knight.

Mech upgrade: (depends on if all racers on a team have to cross the finish line)

If not: (and only if allowed) wires are in the arms and sometime near the end/ beggining of the match he will use them as a trip wire and latch them onto the sides of the track so the opposing mech will trip.

 

If so:(only if allowed) normal boosters on his mech give him the extra speed he needs to keep up with his teammates.

We'll stick with the boosters for now

Hey Sikota, I know this will make the RP different from the show, but is it okay if the IG-I only has two laps instead of three starting with the next race? That way, races will go by much faster and the rest of us don't have to wait as long to race. Then, once we get to the IG-3, we can change it back to three laps, since there will be six people racing at once instead of two.

Hm... Maybe. I'll mull it over. But thanks for the idea

Alright thanks

May someone please post on the RP?

I'm waiting for Sikota.

Two laps for the IG-I seems like a good idea

For some odd reason im reading IG-3 as indigo grand 3

 

 

I dont really like the appearance of my character much so new appearance
