Mecha
You will still have to look over the Mecha page itself, but here is the basic gist of mecha and what it involves.
Mecha is a mechanical, humanoid construct operated by pilots for the use of combat and warfare. There are exactly three types: Vehicles, Exoskeletons, and Machina.
Vehicles refer to any type of mecha that is heavily built for getting from one place to another while either attacking enemy forces or repelling them. These usually involve tank-like constructs or large vehicles that are relatively animal-like with legs that are operated to 'crawl' or 'run' across terrain. Some vehicles are equipped just to fly or even both.
Exoskeletons are usually designed to be suits of armor that attach to the pilot's body. Though there are some variations, the majority can fly or hover, are equipped with weapons and shields, and have safe guarding mechanisms that prevent the pilot from suffering injury. Usually the torso and head of the pilot are exposed while the giant exoskeleton envelopes the limbs, hips, and wraps around the shoulders and chest area.
Machina are larger, the tallest standing at about ten feet, and envelope the pilot completely. They are more durable and better lasting in heavy combat. Because the Machina encompasses the entire pilot, machines can pump nutrients and such directly into the pilot itself, allowing the pilot to operate the Machina for weeks to months on end without rest or ever leaving it. Machina are the most advanced, the most expensive, and also the least common of all mech. Because of this, they are assigned to a pilot for the endurance of their life and cannot be used by any other faction except the Maophaoroh for the purpose of containing the Angel threat.
People may own exoskeletons and vehicles at will, so long as they have a proper budget for it. A budget is constantly recorded and updated for each character. Your character may buy, repair, and upgrade their mecha as long as they want so long as it fits their budget. If you go over the budget, you will not be allowed to use the mecha. This only concerns those who are not connected to Nobility or the Maophaoroh. You may always sell your mecha and buy a new one if you like. The reason for a budget is so that we maintain some order. It would be chaos if everyone had super incredibly hyped up mechas with incredible upgrades and the best weapons ever. The budget will not be affected by trivial purchases. The budget only involves the bulk of your funds. However, if you do by a mansion, your budget may be reduced. The budget will increase with battles you fight in or any tourneys you partake and win at.
Repairs must be made to mecha after battles or the mecha will become destroyed and unusable. ("Well, I don't want to do that!" you say, flailing your arms. "It's so complicated"). After a battle (or a series of battles if they occur close to each other), notify Niitari or a moderator. They will skim your posts, then tell you the amount needed for repairs. You may pay the entire thing or only pay for a few repairs at a time. If only repairing bit by bit, do note the state of your mech's damage which will appear on the mech's bio sheet. All you have to do is look at the amount it will cost, then you can either just tell Niitari or a mod that you wish to make repairs, or if you like, you can roleplay your person going to the appropriate mechanics and getting the repairs. Whatever floats your boat.
Upgrades are always available. Be sure to check the specifications to make sure you can afford such upgrades and that the upgrades are useable by your mech. They are located on the Mecha Guide page as well.
