"Stop!" A guard yelled. A string of gunshots rang out in the quiet halls of Takana Imports and Exports. A man, carrying a small package, was running as fast as his legs could go, dodging bullets here and there while saying, "Oh man, did I get caught big time!"
Meet Ryu Kaze, 37 years old and always getting into trouble. He took on a job as a mercenary to earn enough money to get into the Draconis Combine Academy, where they train warriors willing to fight in giant robots called BattleMechs. These 'Mechs, ranging from the size of a small office complex to one forth the height of a regular skyscraper, are used to wage war and also used to battle against others in similar 'Mechs. Ryu always aspired to be a Mechwarrior, but his family was too poor to gather the funds needed for him to enter. So at the age of twenty-five, he's been taking small-paying jobs to help earn money so that he could get in. Twelve years later and he was still nowhere near the amount needed to enter. He got a lucky break and was going to be paid a whole lot for getting some package from Takana's Imports and Exports if he took the job, which he did. Now though, he was beginning to have second doubts.
"Man! I wish I hadn't taken this job!" Ryu said as a bullet whizzed past his head, putting a bullet hole through his bandana. Ryu turned left and entered a massive room. He looked and saw that he had inadvertantly stumbled upon the building's 'Mech bay (which is used to house, repair, and add or remove weapons from a 'Mech). He looked as he saw a few 'Mechs in four separate docking stations and saw the endless catwalks and walkways crisscrossing here and there. Ryu's face lit up with excitement, and the chance of piloting a REAL 'Mech, for a second before the sound of bullets ricocheting off the walls brought him back to reality. Ryu quickly ran down the stairs and ran on the catwalks towards the nearest 'Mech he could reach. He hurridly turned right, pressed a button and the 'Mech's gunner door closed. He heard the guards run past, yelling, "Quick! He went this way! We'll catch him for sure!" Ryu snickered and straightened himself into the pilot's seat. "Now, which button starts this hunk of junk?" Ryu said to himself.
When Ryu was a kid, he would always go to the arcades to play the 'Mech simulators that were popular. Little did he know that the practice would help him out someday. "Ah! Here it is!" Ryu said. He pressed the button and heard a voice say, "Starting up. Running 'Mech diagnostics. Checking Coolent tank. Please Input Code Sequence." "Aw crud! I don't know the sequence!" Ryu thought hard and fast, and soon he had an idea on the input. "Let's see....73-TIE-6301842." he said as he pressed each button on the small keyboard on his left. He heard the voice say: Checking Code Sequence. Access Denied." Ryu put his hand to his head and thought for a second. "Let's try this one." He said, inputing a new sequence. "Access Denied." The voice said again. After ten minutes of endless inputing and hearing "Access Denied" over and over again, he then said, "Augh! At this rate, I'll never get out of here!" He randomly punched a sequence in and the voice said: "Checking Code Sequence......Access Granted. All systems are green. Radar Map engaged." Ryu smiled and said, "Alright! I got it!" he grabbed the control sticks to pilot the 'Mech, and pushed them forward. Instantly, he saw the two guards on the lower catwalks try to shoot him out of the 'Mech, their bullets flying his way, only to bounce off of the 'Mech's Ferro-Fiberus Armor. "Hah! As if that's going to help you." Ryu said with a smile on his face. "Now, let's get out of here!" He said, pushing the sticks forward again. The 'Mech lifted its arms up and immediately began to inch forward. The 'Mech's 60 ton frame easily plowed through the walkway that the two guards were on, and collapsed. The guards held on for dear life before their grip failed them, falling ten stories down to their deaths. Ryu did not notice them and he put the 'Mech's speed at full. He was nearing the 'Mech bay doors and by cycling through the weapons, used two Large Lasers and a round of LRM 20s, destroyed the bay doors, giving him a way to escape. "Well, I hope that payment is worth enough for all the trouble I've caused." Ryu said with a sigh, holding the package in his left hand. He guided his 'Mech through the outskirts of the city until he reached the building where the payment was to be given.
(This is a small example of how a Realistic RP should be. It may not be ACCURATE *stares at FireNova* but it is realistic enough so that there is NO MAGIC, AND NO INSANELY STRONG "ONE MAN ARMIES".)
