Zoids: Wild || RP

ZOID RIDING & CONTROL:

• Zoids in the Wild setting are ridden from exposed positions on top of their bodies rather than from enclosed cockpits inside the Zoid.
• Pilots sit or stand on the Zoid's designated riding platform and remain physically exposed during travel and combat.
• Pilots control their Zoids through mounted control systems, reins, handles, levers, or other interfaces appropriate to the individual Zoid.
• The Zoid responds to the pilot's commands and movements, allowing the rider to direct its movement, attacks, speed, and combat actions.
• Pilots can lean, shift their weight, hold onto the controls, and physically brace themselves while the Zoid runs, jumps, turns, attacks, or performs sudden movements.
• Mounting and dismounting should be treated as physical actions. Characters may climb onto their Zoids, remain mounted during battles, or dismount when appropriate.
• During intense movement or combat, riders can be shaken or thrown off balance if the Zoid makes sudden movements or receives a powerful impact.
• Different Zoids may have different riding positions and control systems depending on their design.
• Do not describe Wild-style Zoids as having ordinary enclosed vehicle cockpits unless that specific Zoid is established to have one.
