So I just got Titanfall 2 a few days ago because it was on sale and immediately played through the entire campaign without stopping and now I'm kinda sad but also super in awe. I can say definitively that it is the single best shooter campaign that I have ever played (Which isn't really saying much considering I've only played the Halo series and 3 COD games).
I think the game had plenty of lore that I could make a decent plot out of. My current plan is to have one group of mercenaries hired by the Militia (6-4 maybe, or a new group) and another group hired by the IMC (Apex Predators most likely). Our OCs would be able to join either group. The two groups are actively fighting each other because they were both given the same mission: To find other artifacts like the Ark and secure them. The IMC wants more artifacts like this to make another super-weapon and end the war while the Militia wants to keep them out of the IMC's hands by whatever means necessary.
That would be the main plot, and it would force our characters to confront and battle with each other fairly often but also give us some freedom to do side missions and other stuff. It's pretty open-ended as well so we can do whatever we like with it.
If we include canon characters then those would be available on a first-come first-serve basis but the majority of the roleplay will be focused on OCs since (spoiler for Titanfall 2) in the case of the Apex Predators, pretty much all of the top members are dead now. Characters would be Pilot and Titan pairs of course and I'd welcome some diversity in their ranks, both in gender identity and race. Maybe some characters could be Spectres or other robots.
I don't know how much help I'll need since this is still in the concept stages but I'm open to suggestions for improving the plot or anything else. I'm honestly just putting this thread up now to gauge interest, if I get a couple people then I'll move forward with this.

Oh and if you have any questions regarding the game or my plot feel free to ask.
If you think my plot is terrible and you have a better suggestion I'm all ears.

Glad you're interested :D
I've got to drive home and then take a final for an online class, but I'll be back on here after that to do some more planning for this

Thanks! I think I did ok...
Now the first thing I need to decide is whether to use 6-4 on the Militia side or come up with a different mercenary group. Or we could just have a special taskforce in the Militia. I'd like to keep the Apex Predators for the IMC side though. Thoughts?

I think a new group would be awesome definitely keep the Apex Predators though. I think it should be something like the Predators, like a group of mercs hired by the Militia.

Sounds good to me. Any name suggestions?
Should the new group be financially inclined only like the Predators or should they be in agreement with the Militia's ideology as well like the 6-4? Maybe ex-Militia members.
Ooh, it might be interesting if the group was made of discharged Militia soldiers, like Pilots who were medically discharged and stuff like that but still want to fight. People who can't serve in the regular military for whatever reason but still want to help the frontier

I'm terrible at names Dx
I mean it could be a combination??? Like maybe some members are in it for the money and the others are in it for the cause?
That actually sounds really cool!

Post by Percival de Rolo III on Jun 20, 2017 22:01:43 GMT -5
Alright I'm sure I'll come up with something :P
Yeah I think the discharged thing would give us a good variety of members. Like some could be dishonourable discharges or kicked out for having too harsh of tactics, who'd probably mostly be in it for the money, where others could be good people who just got hurt or said the wrong thing to a superior, etc. What we could do though could be like they're mostly discharges but are starting to hire other people and get more variety that way.

Yeah, this sounds awesome!!

Post by Percival de Rolo III on Jun 20, 2017 22:35:42 GMT -5
And now I'm just trying to come up with a name for this group
Right now I'm thinking something simple like "<founder's last name> Irregulars" which would make them seem a little more professional if they plan to style themselves as a regular military division, but we could also go the opposite direction with something like "Steel Wolves" or something like that if they plan to be a more independent mercenary company.
Sorry for the late post, I got sidetracked :P

No worries, so did I lol
Steel Wolves actually sounds kind of cool tbh

Alright, then we can go with that.
Now as for Titans, I personally think we should have the set loadouts that Titanfall 2 has opposed to the full customization of Titanfall 1. It'd make it simpler. Maybe include the Brute and Vanguard/Expedition Titans from the campaign as well as the multiplayer ones.
For something to kick off the plot maybe the mercenary groups start searching the systems near Typhon for more alien objects since that's where the Ark was found. The Predators could find something first in a nearby system and then the Wolves take it from them to start off the rivalry.

Sounds good to me. Including the brute loadout is a good idea, but idk if we should have Expedition class titans or Monarch class titans, since they have chassis it would be weird to include both.

Post by Percival de Rolo III on Jun 20, 2017 23:04:18 GMT -5
True, and Vanguards are only used by the SRS if I remember correctly. If we need to have a Vanguard chassis Titan it should probably be the Monarch but that's a very new one and it would be weird for a Merc group to get a barely-past-prototype-stage Titan.

Okay maybe neither...at least for now xD

Alrighty, maybe a side mission down the line? ;D
I'm not entirely sure what else we need to decide on. Rules are kinda the same from roleplay to roleplay, I'm not putting a literacy or activity requirement so long as people are reasonably active and include enough detail to reply to. I can do some simple layout formatting and stuff. More plot planning might be nice but I kinda plan to just let it happen as it happens so... I'm probably forgetting something but I have no idea what.
Oh yeah, pilot weapons/equipment. I'm thinking all of the power-ups and tactical abilities will just be looped in with equipment and/or weaponry since from a lore standpoint there are no killstreaks, haha. Other than that though I don't think I need anything else. Thanks for bouncing ideas back and forth. :3 If you have anything to add to this roleplay or any aspect of it, fire away.
I'll put the character forms up when I get them formatted so that you can get started, if you like.

Pilot: || Name || Moniker (what teammates and enemies will call you by, kinda like a stage name but for pilots, i.e. Viper in the campaign. This is generally just the last name but can be a nickname or codename as well) || Linked Titan || || Age || Gender || Sexuality || || Mercenary Group (Steel Wolves or Apex Predators || || Physical Description (inc. appearance, armor architecture, and armor color) || || Personality || || Weapons and Equipment (weapons from first and second games acceptable, power ups are counted as equipment [i.e. smart pistol, ticks, etc.]) (in the actual roleplay I’ll put a brief list of all of the weapons and stuff) || || History (optional) || || Other || Example: || Jack Cooper || Cooper/Coops || BT-7274 || || Mid 20’s afaik || Male || Unknown || || N/a || || too lazy to fill this out but appearance goes here || || also too lazy and this is variable depending on how you play the campaign but personality goes here || || Player choice. Starts with a Flatline rifle and eventually gains the Cloak tactical as part of Lastimosa’s kit. || || again too lazy and if you played the campaign then you know this || || N/a || Titan:|| Designation (two letters followed by four numbers, i.e. BT-7274) and Nickname, if applicable || Linked Pilot || Preferred Gender/Voiced Gender (feminine/masculine- how their voice sounds) || || Titan Class [Ion, Scorch, Northstar, Brute, Ronin, Legion] || || Physical Description (overall appearance is less necessary given each titan class has a specific architecture, but coloration and any external art or markings should be included) || || Personality || || Other (include history if you want, but generally the titan’s history is tied to the pilot’s so it doesn’t really matter) || Example:|| BT-7274 "Bee-Tee" || Jack Cooper || Masculine || || Vanguard || || Standard Militia coloration; green and orange || || Previously linked to Cpt. Tai Lastimosa ||

This is what I have so far: (sorry it took so long btw!)
|| Marcus Zehr || Zephyr || Linked Titan || || 26 || Male || Straight || || Steel Wolves || || Zephyr's armor is the standard that is mostly given out towards grappling hook users, with a light gray paintjob. Without his helmet he has black hair in a modern pompadour style, with stubble on his face. His eyes are a light blue color, and a scar is visible below his chin, near his neck.|| || Zephyr isn't afraid to get his hands dirty if it means completing the mission, but one thing some people consider a weakness is his sympathy towards others. He is usually willing to help out people in need, and he has a very hard time executing a surrendering enemy. When asked about his reasons for it, he merely says he "feels bad" about it, rather than being bound by a kind of honor code. Other than that he is friendly and loves to joke around occasionally. || || His arsenal composes of a Hemlock BF-R rifle with a holosight, and a wingman sidearm. His ordnance consists of a few firestars. He posses a grappling hook as his tactical ability. || || WIP || || Other || I'll work on his titan soon ^.^

All right, there's no rush. :3 I'm a lot closer to being finished but my brother's last baseball game is today and I kinda feel obligated to go to that. If I can I'll keep working from my phone but idk I might just do it when I get home.
