Fire and smoke, that is all that I could see from beyond this claustrophobic cockpit. Countless information rush by the HUD, all saying the same thing more or less. The sounds of gunfire and combat echoing in the distance, I could see tracers arching into the sky like comets from space. Before me, a large building that was likely once some sort of warehouse. My trigger finger twitches in uncertainty. But, today is like any other day, especially for a mercenary pilot such as myself. It is often a messy business, that much is true, but it's better than just starving away or be the poor Lost people.

'Objective Updated: Proceed inside, find the relic'. And that brings me to my current job, something that appears unassuming as it is, by a group that I don't think I've ever heard of. Frankly, I think they're some group working under a pseudonym. Of course, I did find it odd on the cash out for what I could only think is little work. Likely that this 'relic' is something of a great relic or something and that this group needs it fast and quiet like. Fine by me, I wasn't really looking forward to tangling with another mercenary. The mech steps forward slowly, the soft thudding and the grand shaking around the crumbling buildings, scattering some debris.

It's so odd to me. It's only now that I come to the realization that why would they need a mercenary with with a mech? Wouldn't it be simpler and faster to get this package from someone on their own two feet? Not only that, but the payout for a rather simply job was uncharacteristically high for such a thing. Something felt off, more so than any other job that I've taken. I was going to say the hell with it and leave but...

'Package acquired: Proceed with the pickup'. And another update. Me and my big mouth, but I do need the money. Hopefully I will never accept another contract from this group again. True enough to the message, I can see something within the dim light of the warehouse. It's massive, easily taller than my own mech, it's smooth and not at all a relic that's been collecting dust. Now, that leaves me with the even bigger question; how am I going to get this thing out of here? Thinking better than nothing, I place the hands onto the surface, thinking on pushing it.

As soon as the hands made contact with the smooth surface, green electricity suddenly arches through. It made contact, causing various systems to overload and immobilize me. I begin to restart anything and everything in the attempt to get out, but more of that electricity sparks as the relic shakes. My stomach feeling queasy and I can make something out on the HUD. 'Thank you for the offer.' And then, my vision went white.

..........

Ringing fills throughout my ears, an annoyance more than anything. My eyes open to see nothing outside. Right, I need to reset everything. I give an exasperated sigh before I reached around the hinges of the cockpit for emergency blowout. I grab the handle and yank on it to where I am greeted to a night sky. I wiggle my way out of the cockpit, before stopping at what I can see - the sight of three moons in the night sky.

Hello, hello there. I hope you are having a good day/night to wherever you live. I have come with a particular concept of mixing two sub-genres of mecha - one being a more real robot and the other being fantasy like wrapped together with a hint of isekai. Something like Dunbine or Escaflowne in sitting, they have their own mechs run by a magical source and I will be playing as someone who is going to throw in a wrench through all of this. Now, I like for us to discuss more on world-building, characters, things like that before we really go deep into the actual roleplay. I do believe with how things will go for, I think it would be best that we would both play as GMs, bouncing back and forth with ideas and scenarios throughout.

As such, I like for you to play as someone from this new world that encounters my character. From there would be anyone's guess. I know that I have said about it being focusing on fantasy and mechs, but it is not that restricted. Want to go for something that's more Victorian era or something like Iron Harvest diesel punk? Yep, those are on the table so don't feel like you must conform to playing fantasy all together.

As I have said, there can be multiple different routes and paths that we can work together on expanding the world further. I know that I have said about fantasy and mechs, but what about fantasy races? Sure, they are on the table for discussion. Now, one thing I do want to stress is that despite it being an isekai roleplay, I am going to seek a realistic take upon it. So, no such things as "OH MY GOD, JUST LIKE MY VIDEO GAME" if that makes any sense. I have some ways on making this realistic off the top of my head, some of which is rather asinine, but I think like that.

Despite that I have written this in the 1st person, please don't feel like you have to conform to it as I am also open to playing this in 3rd person. Another thing is that this roleplay is open to be played on here in PMs or on another platform like Discord. Please, let me know which do you prefer. I believe that is all I am going to say for right now. So, please, come with me with your ideas and thoughts! I look forward to reading them and I hope to hear from you soon.
