Earth is facing overpopulation. In an attempt to solve this, people have moved to Mars, using respirators to surpass it's inhospitality. Yet this wasn't enough, for the rich took advantage by making them even more expensive. But now, a new planet, much like Earth, has been discovered. Its name: Votum.
Numerous companies, enterprises, and rogue groups have come to claim land. Despite vast endeavors and billions of dollars being poured into this, efforts are, for the most part, fruitless. Rather than countries being formed, all the various groups have begun fighting over this land. You have signed onto a minor group who has come to stake their claim, not in land, but in money and power. You are signing on with the ship Excursia, and are landing at a trade station on Votum to meet the captain and your new team.
The World
This RP is set in an Earth-like world, with a technology level for the future, just enough for mechs and interplanetary travel. The layout of the continents is Here, divided between the North Continent the South Continent, and an Island. The land is new and unofficially claimed, so they will most likely be known as The North, The South, and The Island.
Most of the details for the continents and the groups claiming land have not been worked out, and will be made up as needed. Players will be giving their input and coming up with stuff as well.
The Rules
1. Skype is a MUST, you have to have consistent and reliable access to it.
2. No harassment.
3. Be nice to the other people here.
4. No overpowered characters, they're normal people. If there are questions about this, contact me with a question.
5. PLEASE use decent spelling/grammar/punctuation. Spellcheck is very important. I want to be able to read what you are saying.
6. If you need to take a leave of absence, tell me. I get it, people have lives, things happen.
7. If you are inactive for a long period of time without telling me or someone else, your character will probably be killed somehow.
8. This is meant to be fun, so have that. Enjoy yourself.
Google Spreadsheet with all of the stuff so far.

Appearance: (A sprite or description, as long as we can get a good idea of what they look like.)

Mech
This setting is very heavy on mechs, they will be used to overpower enemies and take out their mechs. The mechs used by pirates are highly unique and variable in design. If, as is likely, your character owns and pilots a mech, you can describe it in the following profile. Note that this is entirely optional, but with no mech your character will most likely ride along with another mech and be much more vulnerable.
Mech Name:
Size: (Most mechs are between three and five meters tall, with the tallest types in the world being seven meters tall, though these are excessively rare and expensive)
Armament: (Again, go wild and make it cool.)
Theme: (Something to sum it up, like 'Mech that uses a bow rather than any modern weapon' or 'wrestler mech that uses rockets to move its limbs at incredible speeds.)
Description: (Mechs should be generally humanoid.)
Getting In
Once you post the app in this thread, you'll receive a request on Skype from an account with the Ship's name, "Excursia" to let you know that you're in. You'll be added to the group chat. At most, 8 people will be in at a given time. Characters can die, so if the number of prople drops below 6, when the current mission is over, new characters will be shipped in from Earth/Mars.
