Mobile Police Patlabor: 2003 Division 3, Let’s go!

STORY

In the future, rapidly advancing technology gives birth to giant robots known as "Labors," so named for their usefulness in heavy industry. However, this also gives rise to "Labor crimes," resulting the need for a new branch of law enforcement equipped with and dedicated to the policing of Labors. The development of labors proves to be a boon to construction projects around the world. However, the increase of labors sparks a new type of crime: labor crime. To combat labor crime, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department creates its own labor division, Special Vehicles Section 2. After the success of the first two divisions in the first 2 years of the new millennium, with the now even more increasing labor population throughout the country. MPD decided to create more Division, equipping them with the help of Shinohara Heavy Industries limited production Patlabors AV-02 Clash busters. An even further improved sister unit to the Ingram Mass production. It is now 2003 and Division three was recently formed, will they be able to live up to the glory of the first two divisions and be able to stop crime?

Creator’s notes

This RPG is not all about the Mecha combat, well also be doing some crime solving and investigations. Comedic and funny moment’s things that may or may not occur in a police department in Tokyo. I’m looking forward to having fun in this RPG with everyone
New concepts:

Semi-NPC Control: This allows you take another person's char and have them perform simple actions like opening doors, answering yes or no to questions, or following others. Nothing major like having the char perform a finishing move on a villains or something like that.

Example: Let take some simple example we will be using some characters via another RPG currently running here, the two characters are from Kamen Rider Den-O time Agency courtesy of Denjin_Zaboga23

Usually in a normal RPG I have to wait for you to post again to reply to something as simple as "do you want to eat diner now?" I have to wait for you to post which holds up everyone else. This may or may not, but very well lead to holding of an RPG that can eventually put it into hiatus then death. Sorry I don’t tolerate that stuff so this is where Semi NPC control comes in, with Semi NPC control the role players can post something like this

“Chikane had her maid make some dinner for both her Shiro. She wasn’t sure about what Shiro wanted dinner so early in the evening so she asked him "do you want to eat dinner now?" Shiro stared back at Chikane then nodded with a simple " yes" Chikane then went over to call her maid to begin dinner”

That's semi NPC control simple work of a character they can do normal everyday things like nod yes and no etc but they can't make decision to change the plot or anything like that. (See above)

Rules:

1. If you are going to join, post regularly. I can not stress this enough. If you can't post, let your character become a temporary NPC or let someone else take over.

2. Pay attention to other people's posts.

3. No god modding.

4. Don't rush or change the plot. If you have an idea for the plot, PM me.

5. Relationships can be great in an RPG. Just do it naturally and don't make things pop up out of nowhere.

6. Semi NPC Control system is always there

7. Have fun.

8. If you hold up the RPG for more then three days with out notifying the owner, or without a good reason (Example: I'm going out of town) then your character has the ability to be turned into an NPC at the owner's discretion.

9. Post length, there is no acception of anything less then 5 sentences, That's one paragraph, if the post is lesser then 5 sentences, It will be automatically ignored. It's not to hard to write a good length post, so please don't do two line posts.

[Denjin_Zaboga23]

Here are those two NPC's I made for this.

Name: Hiroshi Anzai

Age: 44

Appearance:

(Crappy Pic, but it's all I can find of the char)

History: Hiroshi is the police labor division's lead mechanic, and a excellent mechanic at that. His reasons for doing this are less than pure, however, performing his duties for mainly two reasons: To further his own ego and the chance to try and impress women much younger than him, as he hates his wife. He loves his work and is proud of it to the point that he repeatedly gloats that without him and his mechanics help that their divisions labors would be nothing but piles of scrap. When he's not repairing the labors, he is usually seen trying to hit on the division's female officers.

-------------------------
Name: Kenta Hirai

Age: 20

Appearance:

History: Hiroshi's second in command. Kenta is a stark contrast to Hiroshi, being rather humble about his work while performing it. He frowns upon his higher ups skirt chasing, seeing it as distracting to their work, which he considers very important. He also likes to give charismatic speeches to those who will listen and one wonders why he took the job as a mechanic when he could have done something else with this skill.

 

[Denjin_Zaboga23]

Name: Mamoru Sekimoto

Age: 22

Appearance:


Position: Unit 2 Forward

Personality: He has a kind of serious air about him, but is actually very approachable and can be easily talked to. When his police duty comes into play, though, he's serious. Very serious. He believes the law should be followed always with no exceptions.

History: Mamoru is a new recruit to Division Three, transfered from a normal police unit. He follows things by the book and generally seems to be a gigantic bore. As long as it's not police related though, you can talk to him like any other person. He does have a social life, but you wouldn't know it by looking at him.

Shortly after becoming a cop, Mamoru witnessed the Ingrams in action and was inspired to drive a Labor after seeing them. Seeing it as the best way to fight against crime, he asked for a transfer to the newly formed Division Three and, after some basic pilot training, was granted his wish, though it was also because his superiors were tired of his boy scout attitude. He's still pretty new at driving a Clash Buster, but makes up for it in determination and just plain stubbornness.

Irritating his fellow officers with his attitude, maybe Mamoru could stand to lighten up some, so he can make things much easier on himself...

 

[Kain]

Name: Keiji Tsubasa

Age: 25

Appearance:

Position: Unit 1 Forward

Personality: When off duty he is fairly laid back and more than a little lazy and appears incapable of taking anything seriously due to the fact he almost constantly cracks jokes while pulling the occasional prank in order to blow off much of the stress that comes with this particular line of work. But he is back on duty he becomes deadly serious about what he is doing, seeing as with this job failure simply isnt an option. He is an all around good guy and is a pretty good cop with a burning sense of justice as well.

History: A young man in his prime that has been with divison three since it was formed,and is well liked by many of his comrades and superiors thanks to positive outlook on things and his relatively friendly nature, plus the fact that he does his job pretty damn well doesnt exactly hurt his reputation either.

Skill wise he does pretty well with everything but doesnt exactly shine in any particular area either, though he does have an affinty for Labor piloting. And after a while of training he was allowed to become the pilot Unit 1's Clash Buster, which he seems to be adjusting to fairly well.

In the field he is the type that isnt above trying a few unconventional ideas in order to get the job done, sure going strictly by the book and following all of the rules can be good, but sometimes you just gotta try something different if the situation calls for it. Its a principle he understands well as plans can often go awry and the situation will call for more critical thinking than some may be comfortable with, which is another reason he was selected to be Unit 1's pilot. All in all he is just a regular cop who just tries to do his job to the best of his abilities.

 

[Milky Rose]

Name: Kitaoka Wataru (Wataru Kitaoka)

Age: 37

Appearance:

Position: Unit 1 Commander

History: Known throughout the Tokyo Police Department as the "Devil Watchdog", Wataru was once affiliated with the Narcotics unit, where he has racked up an impressive string of drug busts in various areas of Tokyo. Besides his impressive record in the Narcotics unit, Wataru has also been known to be a harsh interrogator, oftentimes forcing many a criminal to crack under the pressure whenever he applied it.

During the formation of the new Patlabor units, the higher-ups in the police department began an exhaustive search for officers that are fit for the position of Unit commander. Upon reviewing Wataru's past record, he immediately received his badge for the new unit from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Commissioner, as well as the responsibility for leading the first Patlabor unit in investigating Labor crimes.

Since the time of his transfer from the Narcotics unit, Wataru has shown that even with his old age, he is still skilled in piloting a Labor, and has often bested the Unit 1 forward, Keiji Tsubasa, during practice sessions.

Because of his hardened nature from years of work with the narcotics unit, however, his outlook is often at odds with that of Keiji and the Unit 2 commander, believing that their laid-back attitudes can and will cause failure during missions. In spite of that, he does acknowledge the skill and passion shown by both persons, and is willing to mentor both to the best of his abilities.

 

[Zaku]

Name: Hibana Yamabuki

Age: 21

Appearance:

Position: Unit 2 Back Up/Commander/ Division Lieutenant

Personality: Hibana is known to be very easy-going and is constantly smiling. She will not even resort to stern lectures, such as when Hiroshi spends money on himself(adult magazines) that Hibana gave him to buy food for the teams. Hibana can be assertive, though she never has once raised her voice in anger or otherwise. She will often give responses to questions within one second of being asked, the answer almost always marking approval. These personality traits are what make her a great leader at such a young age.

History: Hibana suffered from an illness since birth. Her affliction has caused her to become very physically weak, and is almost always absent from her early childhood years of school because of it. She loves to read especially romance, mystery novels, she is also very into dramas and is always making reasons for things that happen in her life, but the real-life drama of a father who denies her and a life threatened by illness is encroaching on her. Strangely enough, sick as she is, Hibana thinks nothing of sitting in the middle of winter, despite her mother telling her several times to and rest. Due to her illness it is not strange for her to carry around an array of different pills and drugs for her many ailments. For her it was a tough childhood, but all would suddenly change, at the age of eight her conditions turned for the worst as she was hospitalized and diagnose to not live past the night. Her father after hearing of this keeps denying her until his last moments next morning after he committed suicide, possibly running from debtors that were trying to collect money that he has been borrowing to treat his daughter. In truth Hibana only fell into a temporary coma for several months. Afterwards was granted a miracle and was cured from her illness, her mother kept the truth about her father away from Hibana in an attempt to not cause her to go into sickness again.

At the age of 11 Hibana’s mother remarries into another family, as a well off student and polite child she was accepted easily in her new family. Her step father was a Police captain for the department of anti organized crime. Growing up eventually she finds out about the incident with her real father, and decided to become a police officer on the assumptions that she could go and take vengeances on her father’s loan sharks. After graduating from the academy with high grades at 18 she went ahead into the organized crime division and did some detective work for a couple of years before at the age of 20 her father was appointed the new police commissioner, she was sent to another academy to train in Labor combat and then moved her to the newly formed Division three of special vehicles unit two, moving on her first day of being 21 she was appointed the new Division’s Lieutenant, and became Unit 2 ‘s commander. With a great track record and Great qualities, many look forward to this prodigy for results of the new Division.

 

[Henshiner]

I'm game.

Name: Kanaki Shoichi

Age:22

Appearance:

Position: Unit One Back up (Carrier Driver and Field Mechanic)

Personality: Shoichi is a bland individual who usually complains about everything when he feels it's a bother. While he is never seen smiling, Shoichi is deep down a kind person willing to put his life on the line for his friends.

History: Shoichi had led a normal life up until he joined the team. In his childhood, he had dreamed of piloting a Patlabor like his father before him. Unfortuantely, Shoichi was unable to become one because of an illness he contracted while in college. While it wasn't life threatening, it prohibited him from piloting a Patlabor. Nonetheless, Shoichi got a job as the field mechanic and carrier driver for Unit One, allowing him to be close to the machines he had admired for so long. Though he is not a pilot, Shoichi's IQ is quite high, allowing him to solve mysteries as a detective would.

Unbeknownest to nearly everyone, Shoichi has a crush on Hibana Yamabuki. Instead of trying to win her heart like what most people would do, Shoichi tries to stay as far away from her as possible. Even so, he has an uncanny nact for running into her at anytime. While some may consider this fate calling him to her, Shoichi merely sees it as dumb luck.

Age: 40

Appearance:

Bio: Yoshiko is highly regarded by everyone in the police force and has a solid relationship with all of his headquarters coworkers. This is especially true of his relationship with his division. Yoshiko is sometimes a by-the-book style captain and sometimes not; he will often do many unconventional things to meet a goal. Despite his unconventional mentality, He has ensured Division 3 many Victories.

Back in the days before he was the captain of Division 3, Yoshiko worked in internal affairs, His razor sharp perception of things allowed him to quickly move up in rank, case after case he solved and helped cleaned the department that was quickly becoming corrupted, with the corruption now within the shadows, and a new police commissioner, he was moved to Division 3.
