I'd prefer to come in with just the one character for now, and bring in the others later when I'm more in the flow, ideally. I was going to start off with just Snake.
My reasoning is that I'm not entirely certain how to bring in a first character without making an ass-pull of it. I really suck when it comes to introductory posts.
The Battle of Temporal Tower Spoiler: ZEXIS Impenetrable Emerald Riveted with drills, Cheval nonetheless stood firm, waiting for the attack to come to him. The ranged attack had barely done anything as his machine hovered there in place, allowing Kokuren-Lagann to get close. Sure enough; the mecha leaped into the air, moving over his Emeraldan, and falling down towards his back, grappling onto one of the much larger machine's wing-like protrusions on its back. Unfortunately for Mina and Simone, this was a huge mistake. With a growl, the two wing-like metal structures were ejected into the air, where Emeraldan caught them, revealing that those "wings" were not wings at all, but gigantic war-axes -- the main weapon of the green giant they were facing. Slamming them together around Kokuren-Lagann, pinning it between them, Cheval spun the blades in a full circle before releasing the black machine from between them, tossing it through the sky easily due to the colossal difference in size and strength. Cheval re-sheathed the weapons, before ejecting the two triangular-shaped objects from the back of the machine, revealing that these too were simply stored weapons of the mecha -- this time an energy lance made of two parts. Clicking the grips together, the double-bladed lance was reeled back and prepared to be thrown. "Chief! The battle is getting too tense!" Guy said, as the blades of GaoFar locked forward to block the oncoming strike of a Diem Lee, which was then dispatched with a strong cut to the waist, cleaving the machine in two. "We can't keep this up. We need Final Fusion!" "Without GGG's support? It's too dangerous, Guy." came Kotaro Taiga's response. "The chances of a successful fusion in these conditions is close to zero. We have no support" "Chief..." Guy said, gripping his fist. "You've said that once before. Did you forget? Whether it's zero or a hundred... a brave heart will overcome any odds! We'll do it manual if we have to! So please, Chief!" "If it's about support, we'll give everything we can, hon~." Leeron chimed in over the comm system. "That's exactly right." came the voice of Yui Ikari, in agreement with Dai-Gurren's mechanic. "We're prepared to help direct all systems to make this fight possible." "We would be worthless as allies if we weren't willing to lend our expertise." agreed Gendo Ikari from beside his wife. "This ZEXIS we've formed is a sign that we're all in this together. Ptolemy has locked onto your support machines signatures and is waiting to help." "Nono will do anything to help her friends!" came the voice of the excitable pink-haired android, who had just walked into the bridge of the Dai-Gurren, where Chief Taiga stood. "Even if it seems like nothing, I'll help Guy!" There was a long pause, before slowly, Taiga nodded. "You're right. All of you. I've spent too long away from GGG if I can't put my faith in our allies and our courage." he said, picking up a large golf club beside him, the handle of which extended out to form a USB drive, which he slammed into the systems of the Dai-Gurren, bringing up a special screen on it and Ptolemy. "FINAL FUSION! OPERATION APPROVED!!" A green-glass-encased button sprang up from Dai-Gurren's bridge controls, shimmering in the light as Chief Taiga nodded at Nono to do the honours. "Program... Drive!" Nono called out, slamming her fist through the glass of the button, pressing it down, and starting the activation cycle. "Alright!" Guy called out with a much more confident look on his face. "FINAL FUUUSIOOON!" In an instant, the front of GaoFar had opened up, unleashing a yellow beam that rippled like water as it signaled for the three support units to come. First was StealthGao III; a stealth-fighter-like machine that decloaked and began to circle overhead as the second unit emerged. LinerGao II came next; the blue rocket-ship-like machine that sped up into the skybox above them to join StealthGao III using its six boosters. Lastly came DrillGao II; a dual-cockpit tunneling machine that ripped its way through the ground below GaoFar's feet and launched into the sky to join the other two. The three circled once more, before flying into the yellow beam and "eating" one of the blue circles being deployed by GaoFar, beginning to orbit the transformed PhantomGao as they loaded the data into their systems. As soon as they had finished, the front of DrillGao opened up, sliding up and over the legs of PhantomGao, forming a pair of much larger, thicker, and stronger legs, while LinerGao ejected the boosters and opened up into a train-like configuration, allowing it to enter a hole created in PhantomGao thanks to the arms opening outwards to attach to the back, forming a pair of blue shoulders. StealthGao flew downwards and attached to the back of PhantomGao, locking onto GaoFar's arms as support, while the engines of the machine attached onto LinerGao to form arms while other parts of StealthGao locked onto GaoFar's chest, closing the hatch that had released the golden beam, and providing the chest with much stronger armour. As the hands twisted out from the engines, a great helmet was launched into the air, landing on GaoFar's head and locking in place, giving it a much more fearsome appearance, the G-Stone in GaoFar's head coming forward to finalize the transformation as the entire mecha flexed and sparked with fierce electricity. "GAO! FIGH!! GAR!!!" Guy's voice screamed the name of the combined mecha, as the machine itself began to vent all the excess heat that the combining had caused it. A Fighting Mechanoid, reborn to defend humanity. It's name was The King of Braves; GaoFighGar! Dividing Driver "MINA OF ZEXIS! FALL TO A KNIGHT'S BLADE!" Cheval Reptail roared out, as the spear was flung at the falling Kokuren-Lagann, sailing through the air towards the black machine, until it struck -- not it's target, but something else. "PROTECT WALL!" came Guy's voice, as the thirty-meter GaoFighGar's left arm opened up with energy projectors that blocked and neutralized the energy of the attack, before actually launching the spear right back at Cheval, almost damaging Emeraldan with its own weapon, if not for a last-moment dodge from the knight. "Another warrior of ZEXIS, is it? Come then, both of you!" Cheval growled, placing the spear back in its place and drawing out the dual swords once more. "Mina, Simone, are you alright?" Guy asked, looking back for a moment. "He's too big and too powerful for conventional attacks. We're both going to have to give it everything we have and more if we want to stop him here!" Spotting the shot at the last second, Graham's Masurao dodged the Buster Rifle shot, drawing its dual GN Sabers, and flying towards the Wing Zero Gundam instantly, closing the distance as the other shots came towards it, looking to take away Heero's advantage. "Gundam! How I've longed for this moment!" he spoke over the comm even as he closed in. "Ever since that day two years ago I've waited! Hungered for the time when I would regain my honour! And now today is that day! Remember this, Gundam! Remember as you perish that it was I, Graham Aker, that delivered the fatal blow!"

The Battle of Temporal Tower Spoiler: ZEXIS As the battle raged on, the entry of new costumed warriors caught Zero's attention. Their armours greatly resembled his own, but lacked a cape, and featured a single colour on each. At once he know what they were. "Sentai...!" he said to himself, eyes going wide for a moment. The introduction of these new warriors meant a slight change to his plans, but from up in the sky, directing the higher plane of the battlefield, it would be harder to gain their trust. Unless... "Connect me to them on the screen!" Zero commanded, throwing his arm forward, palm open, as though literally grasping the opportunity in his hand. "Heroes of another world; hear my words!" he said with his usual flair for the dramatic, turning his palm and placing it on his helmet's visor. "I am Zero! Commander of ZEXIS, the multi-dimensional force you see before you!" This was it. The best chance he had to gain another powerful ally in this fight. He had to believe in himself. No, that wasn't entirely true. He had to believe in the Zero he had created. It was he that they would all come to believe in, after all. "Though such a proclamation may sound threatening or destructive, our alliance has only one goal in mind; For each and every one of us to be returned to the Earth we call home! This army we stand against now is the only thing preventing us from returning to our families and friends - The destruction of Temporal Tower will cause the distortion keeping us here to cease entirely! I extend to you a hand of allegiance! Join your strength with ours, and assist us in this final struggle we face, I implore you!" "Genome, Kamina, Simon, let's take him together!" Noriko called out, as Lazengann Xros's arms raised, ready to fight against Viral's Enkidu together with Gurren Lagann Xros. Suddenly, the three were interrupted, as gunshots struck the ground between them; the Mobile Suit that fired them flying overhead, leading a large group of GN-XIII units behind it, flying into the battlefield. At the same time, the roaring engines of a stealth jet were heard from above, the gigantic plane carrying what appeared to be a colossal humanoid figure on the bottom of it. When it reached directly above the battlefield, the mecha was released from it as the jet continued on its way; the humanoid machine falling through the sky rapidly, flames enveloping its body from the speed, until it crashed down on the ground with a tremendous crashing sound. The machine stood when the dust settled, revealing that the unit was none other than an Evangelion - completely grey in colour save for its single crimson eye. Looking over the battlefield quickly, its eyes scanned the area, before it pulled a large, bladed saw-like weapon from its back, readying it for use against the forces of ZEXIS. "Kei, don't push yourself." the pilot of the mobile suit up above said to the Eva's pilot with a worried tone. "You're free to engage the other Evangelion units, but if things get too dangerous, pull out." "Understood." the young pilot of Evangelion Unit 10 returned, nodding. "I won't let you down, Captain Aker." "That isn't my concern." Graham said quietly, shutting off the comm and readying himself to battle with the forces of ZEXIS in the sky, consisting of the Gundams of Celestial Being and most of the Black Knights's Akatsuki Flight Types. "Impressive." Cheval spoke, his voice showing no evidence of sarcasm as he looked down at the pilots of the much smaller mecha, Kokuren-Lagann, seriously. "As you wish then! I, Cheval Reptail, accept your challenge, Mina of Dai-Gurren!" The boosters in the feet of Emeraldan ignited, propelling the mecha several meters off of the ground, as it pointing the tip of one of the blades towards the combined machine. "Make your attack, Warrior of Earth! We will see which side is right through battle!"
I'll probably talk with HeartlessOfLight and HeroOfTime, see if we can sort out a way to come in together to make it easier.
Yep yep, been following it, just... slowly trying to think of a good way to introduce my guys. Introductions are always the hardest part for me.
In that case she'll be running with her Mienfoo (probably evolved into a Mienshao at this point), Lucario, and Hawlucha to start with. Thanks for clearing it up.
I was going to give her a Chesnaught due to it being from her Generation, a Fighting-type, and a starter. Since I don't need to give them starters, are my other options limited to things she's canonically used, things from her Generation, or just things that suit her and are of her Type specialization? The rules leave me a little unclear on it at the moment.

The Battle of Temporal Tower Spoiler: ZEXIS Among the fray, a loud cry was heard, as the crimson, dual-faced mecha leapt into the air, announced by the loud voice of Kamina, fire enveloping the entire machine's body as it spun in mid-air. "SUPEEER!" he yelled out, as the second pilot above him slammed forwards on the controls of the upper machine. "I...INAZUMAAAA!!" came the voice of the smaller boy, more timid but just as determined in this moment. The flames centered on the machine's foot, launching forwards towards the Spiral King's revived General; Tymilph. "That won't work!" the ape-like Beastman retorted, raising the hammer of his Gunman into the air to counter the kick that was falling towards him. "FEIIIIIINT!" The pair of them roared out in unison, as the mecha suddenly spun around, directing the fireball that had gathered into a ranged shot and launching it at the hammer, knocking it from the enemy's hands and ducking down as a second unit spring-boarded off of the red mecha's back. The Guren Flight-Type, piloted by Kallen Kozuki, rocketed into the custom Gunman, dragging its knife over the head and torso of it, before dropping and spinning, lacerating the sides of the machine further, only stopping when the loud footsteps of Gurren Lagann began to be heard, the larger machine's fist pulled back. "CERTAIN KILL!" Kamina called out, slamming the fist into the General's Gunman as two drills burst from the wrist, the shape of a skull bursting forward from the point of impact. "CRIMSON LOTUS DUET!" The Custom Gunman was launched backwards; intact but heavily damaged, as it struck the ground harshly, threatening to not get back up. The interior was completely trashed, to the point where the pilot's seat simply no longer existed, having been disintegrated into ashes by the impact. But even so, the General stood once more, stepping out of the machine and brandishing his own hammer fearlessly. "Do you mindless naked apes really believe... that you can stop THE SPIRAL KING'S IMMORTAL VASSAL SO EASILY?!" As his body regenerated before their eyes, Kamina gritted his teeth. It wasn't going to be that simple this time. "Genome! Simon" he called out, looking to the boys piloting the two Lagann units. "Let's do it!" "Huh? B-bro? Do what?" Simon asked, confused. "Dumbass! Isn't it obvious?" he retorted, with a wide grin, nodding at the image of Noriko in Zen. "GATTAI!" Spoiler: music Tearing off the Lagann from Gurren's head in perfect unison with Noriko and Zen, the two combined Gunmen reeled back and spun the Lagann units once, before tossing them hard towards the opposite unit. "Kicking reason to the curb and breaking through the odds!" "Uniting through time and space through effort and guts!" "B-Bursting through the walls in our way!" "To create a victory from a past of defeat!" "ALTERNATE UNISON!" "-- GURREN LAGANN --" "-- LAZENGANN --" "XROS!" Immediately, the enemy Gunmen around them spontaneously exploded; unable to handle the sheer masculine force emanating from the four pilots that stood there in their new combined forms - Kamina and Genome in Gurren Lagann Xros, while Simon and Noriko joined in Lazengann Xros. "Genome! This guy knows you from his past, right? If we can't break his body, the only way to do this is to break his spirit, and make an enemy into a friend! It's down to you, my second blood brother!" "Noriko! Take care of Simon for me, ya got that? I'm trusting you with the one person that means more to me than life itself!" "Understood!" Noriko said, nodding with a smile as Simon blushed slightly at Kamina's admission. As Genome and Kamina prepared to face off against Tymilph, a tremble in the earth could be felt, as a long, H-shaped ship suddenly appeared, followed by a second and third, all of which began launching their own units - Diem Sars and Diem Lees - to join the Gunmen opposing ZEXIS. The knight-like machines instantly took up arms against ZEXIS's forces; firing crossbow shots from their shield-arms and some engaging in melee combat using their polearm weapons. After a moment, another machine dropped down from the ships, landing firmly and drawing two huge swords from its waist in challenge of the ZEXIS units. Suddenly establishing contact with them, the pilot spoke, addressing the entire force. "Soldiers of Earth, I am the Number Three ranking Knight of Arksaber serving under Crown Prince Uther - Cheval Reptail!" he roared, motioning towards ZEXIS. "In the name of Insalaum, and in the name of our allies - We will cut you down if you refuse to back down!" His mecha - the Green-armoured Emeraldan, stood at fifty-eight meters tall - towering above the thirty-meter Diem Lees around it, and the twenty-five meter Diem Sars that supported them. The option was surrender, or fight against this great machine that only the three Evangelions stood taller than.
Sorry, I'm basically only still here for the sake of Cove and HSD now. Once those RPs die I'm basically done on the site.
I prefer Norther.
Just making sure to bump this since the RP is still active and we do still need the OOC thread for it. I suppose I can also mention that the chapter is still going to finish as intended; after the battle of Temporal Tower is resolved.
Battle Outskirts The cloaked figure glanced at Ryuko. He found it odd that she claimed her uniform could speak to her, but the fact was that he could seem as though he was speaking to people that weren't there too thanks to the comm built into his body. Chances were that it was a similar situation with her, whether it truly was her uniform or not. At the very least, the eye-like pattern on the outfit did seem to have moved a few times by itself, so it wasn't exactly impossible for it to be some kind of artificial intelligence of some kind that could express opinions. "The fastest way to the Tower is to head straight through it." he said simply, sparks flying from his feet as he continued to run without tiring. "But we aren't going to fight in it. We'll dodge everything and straight up Temporal Tower."
