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.

Oh, that reminds me. I sketched out the character so I'll do the profile now :>

These characters are up for grabs to anyone without a character of one of these guys' mech types.

Take one if you want. Or both. Otherwise they're mine.

 

 

Name: Iris Akira (IA)

Age: 18

Gender: Female

Appearance:

 

Bio: Iris ran away from home at a young age. By the time that she was 10 and used to being on her own, she discovered the IGPX. Running. As the mechs would speed down the track, she couldn't help but relate. All her life she had been running away. When she decided that she was ready, Iris joined the IG-I.

Mech Type: Forward

Color Scheme: Pink and white

Other Details: Mainly white, the pink traces its way along the arms legs, and cover most of the hips and back area. Her mech also has a long pony tail the same color as her hair

Upgrade: Her sensors allow her to more easily sight and exploit her opponents' slipstream

Fight to the Finish

Name: Kamui Gakupo (Gackpoid)

Age: 22

Gender: Male

Appearance:

 

Bio: A lone man, without love, without purpose. Gakupo has searched far and wide. Now... He believes he may have finally found his calling

Mech Type: Defender

Color Scheme: White and purple

Other Details: Mainly white, the purple traces its way along the arms legs, and cover most of the hips and back area. A pair of purple ribbons flow gracefully from the hips of the mech

Upgrade: Decreased defense, but equally powerful and noticeably faster

 

 

No thank you.

I'll go ahead and start this thing once Ducky submits her character.

Go ahead and make others if you guys want. You could wait too I'd you're mulling it over. It's never too late to join the IGPX

Ah yeah, I made it last night but then fell asleep randomly. A little too early really. I don't know if I'll be up to my full extent since I've never seen the show this was based around, but I'll give the Wikipedia article a quick sweep.

 

 

Name: Blake Greco - "Greco" by those who hate him nevermind, just referred to his last name by acquaintances and such. "Grape" by those who tease him in a friendly way. Never referred to by his first name unless he's good friends with somebody.

 

Age: 19

 

Gender: Male

 

Appearance: Dark hair, and dark eyes. He's average in height and less in musle mass. His posture is terrible, and is often constantly reminded to stand or sit up straight and tall. //drew a picture but it's in my science notebook right now//

 

Bio: Socially awkward by nature, he spews random, useless facts at attempts to start a conversation. He likes to observe others and their machines - but he's not an ass about it. He's very interested in how things function. //not sure how he got into this thing yet. Any suggestions? Nothing tragic though - I ain't into that shit//

 

Mech Type: defender

 

Color Scheme: green + purple

 

Other Mech Details: //couldn't think of anything//

 

Mech Upgrade: More durable, but heavier and gradually slower.

 

 

Well, that's all I got. Sorry, if I knew more what this was about I might've been able to make him better, but I guess it's fine. Please suggest/tell me anything you want, dude.

He's being forced to lay down at the least.

Is he sick? Or is it his bedtime?

No one needs to know what happens at that hour

Anyway, people can feel free to create a second and/or third character if they want while I'm gone today.

I'm already there.

I MISSED SOO MUCCHHH *cries* 

Nei and I are just racing, nothing's happened on your side of things

Good. By the way I'm changing Aithne's appearance. 

I changed a lot on my sign-up~

(Sorry I'm late to the party.)

 

Name: Waldo Johnson, although most call him Wacky Waldo.
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Appearance: Long, thin, and pale, with messy brown hair and a scar on his cheek.
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.
Mech Type: Midfielder
Color Scheme: Lime green and yellow.
Other Mech Details: Mostly green, but with two yellow lines down the middle and a yellow happy face on each arm.
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.

Fear the whipped cream. That is truly scary.

It's mostly used to blur opponents windows and as an oil slick when aimed at the ground, but at point-blank range, can get into the opponents mech, wreaking havoc on their systoms. Can be used five times in a race. (If that's too many shots, I can change it.)[/size]

 

Fight to the Finish[/size]

Ranged weaponry is excluded from the IG-I

Well, there goes a possible grappling hook.
