Sorry for the delay folks, I was a little busy last night. I'll be around as long as needed tonight. I've already talked with my Co-GM about all the CSs and questions posted, including the ones PM'd, and between us we're tackling them now.

@Reno: The only thing we'd prefer is if you could elaborate on her appearance a little (usual attire, etc.), and pin down her age, if possible. No real issues, and other than those, that CS is perfectly fine. 

@Ruby: This is one we talked about a little; We don't mind if you use a Quebely, but we would prefer it nerfed a little. Our thoughts were mostly along the lines of the funnels, specifically, the number and their use. If you were to cut down on the number of funnels, say to five to ten, that would be a start. We feel that number would still allow for their efficient use, while still not being too powerful. Secondly, it should be noted that funnels were made with Newtypes in mind; your character would be able to use them, but it would be like a second set of controls. Switching from controlling the funnels to controlling the suit would require taking their hands off of the controls for one to use the others.

That said, please feel free to give your thoughts and talk to us about it. We're happy to discuss possibilities.

@Everone: Now, two things to touch upon briefly. Firstly, it occurred to us that we hadn;t explained something; you'll all be starting with these suits, but you [i]will[/i] get the chance to upgrade them, and even change suits entirely later on. Secondly, we haven't properly explained how timelines work here; you might note, for example, that we have a GM and a Jegan. Canonically, the Jegan was newer than the GM, and more improved. That's to a degree true here as well; the Jegan is still designed based on the GM, but it isn't massively superior inherently. All newer suits have their strengths, but they're considered to be largely on par with other suits.

The logic being, for example, that a GM is still in service because they're just that capable and hardy. A Jegan is a little higher tech, but it doesn't outclass one in and of itself.

TL;DR, newer does not inherently equal better. All player suits have roughly equivalent 'power', they're just differently specialized. This is mostly to prevent someone who picked a newer suit from curb-stomping [i]everything[/i]. =P
