A loophole

@FerriteFox You know what? Since this is about loving Gunpla, if you can find a way to make a good Ball combining mobile suit, you can. Just remember the suit can't be OP and invincible to other players.

A loophole

Pfff. Touche. (Though i made a more recent post with my answer)

I've been thinking of it for at least two hours so prepare to be dazzled...

...in a few hours when I have access to my computer.

I'll be ready.

I really don't think you will be.

I'm only running one character so this is gonna replace my old one, so don't mind the name.

Name: Rou Gernot/Ball Guy
Age: 17
Gender: M

Appearance:
Normal: Rou wears a large black Kamen Rider baseball cap that shades his green eyes and makes his black shaggy hair fan out to shoulder length. He often forgets to shave. He wears a short sleeved button up shirt that is usually left open to show whatever Toku/Anime shirt he has chosen to wear for the day. His light blue jeans are a little stained and torn, but still decent.

Ball Guy: Rou's alter ego is modeled after his Toku heroes. Ball Guy's outfit consists of a stark white spandex suit and a plastic helmet that sports a red hexagon and a green opaque visor. On top of the helmet is a small pair of mini turret "antennas".

Nationality: American

Backstory: All his life Rou has loved Tokusatsu heroes and giant robots, especially combiners. He began collecting Super Sentai robots, gunpla and merchandise when he was 8 and his collection is still growing. He can quote Riders, sing theme songs, and name any mobile suit. However, his biggest problem is that he can rarely discuss his hobbies due to his timidness. This was onset by his first gunpla battle at the local hobby shop. Rou built a simple GM to test the waters of the new game. He was stomped and ridiculed for his inexperience, and quickly left the shop and never returned. He longed for companions to help him. Better yet, a team. Despite his trepidation, he attempted to find friends at a different hobby shop. He laid low, but no one really stood out to him. Rou began to only fight matches in private, fearing what the audience would say about his skills.

Struggling to overcome his fear of confrontation and people, Rou discovered that he wasn't too timid if the opponent didn't know who he was. He began planning a cosplay suit to hide his identity, but could not seem to fathom what mobile suit to base it from. Rou surveyed his shelf. He wanted something simple. Zaku? Nah, cliche. BCUE? Too animalistic. His eyes finally rested on something he constantly over looked. The quaint little cannon fodder known as the Ball. It was perfect. Rou's skills were good enough that he could hold his own with such a puny gunpla, ad it fit his hero theme quite nicely. He finished his suit in a week and went to the shop. People stared, but no one knew who he actually was, and it made Rou feel so much more comfortable. "Ball Guy" was what they called him. He didn't win many matches, but he was well known and rather liked, even if he was just acting like a "gaudy super hero". Rou decided that a simple upgrade would not suffice. He needed something extra. Then it dawned on his. What about...extra balls? IF that was the case then he would need a Flash system, and that's something that an ordinary Ball wouldn't be able to handle. Rou brainstormed. Balls were what made him so renowned in his town, he couldn't just stop using one. He crafted for weeks and weeks until he found a solution. The transforming ball! he could still use the Flash system as a Gundam, but still look like a ball. Weeks later, his prototype was complete. In a private match he quickly lost ground, but once he transformed his Ball, his opponent dropped like a rock. Now he just needed to know how to use his backup Balls. Constantly controlling them would be tedious and require immense effort. As he wracked his brain, the Super Sentai show running in the back ground showed a scene of them calling their mecha together. It was miraculous, and it fit Rou's personality perfectly. He was going to make a Ball Sentai. He began winning his local matches, preferring to keep his Ball Squad's ability a secret. It was for only those eyes he thought deserving. Learning of his fame, he was invited to Neilsen Labs to participate, signing up under the guise "Ball Guy", to keep his identity a secret for just a little longer. The suit had become a crutch, but its ability to keep him calm in social situations was invaluable.

Other information: Rou changes into costume before every match, or constantly wears it if expecting challenges.

Main Gunpla: Round Sentai: Ball Squad!/DAI-BALL-OH!


Scale: 1/144

Based from: Balls

Equipment and Weapons: Fireworks hidden in the tubes of each Ball arm. (Gotta be flashy right?). When combined into a single unit, all attributes are increased due to combined power output and source.

Brigadier Ball (Red Stripe): The Ball Rou Controls and uses to command his squad. It is capable of transforming into a Gundam-esque mobile suit to combine with the rest of the balls to form DAI-BALL-OH!. Chest can fire an extremely powerful beam when connected to the other Balls as power sources.

Blade Ball (Blue Stripe): Right arm of DAI-BALL-OH!. Equipped with four beam beam sabers to be wielded. Unfoldable hand.

Blaster Ball (Green Stripe): Left arm of DAI-BALL-OH!. Equipped with twin beam rifles. A hand folds out from underneath when attached.

Bomb Ball (Yellow Stripe) Legs of DAI-BALL-OH!. Equipped with four tri missile pods, two on each side. Added support on bottom to be used as feet.

Booster Ball (Pink Stripe): Unfolds to become the backpack and cape for DAI-BALL-OH!, very fast but otherwise useless in combat.

Other Gunpla: More Ball modules to be developed.

Be prepared for some interesting fights.

Well... this ought to be interesting. lol. (It looks really well done. Should give some spice to this RP)

Thank you, I think this character would be a lot more fun to play. Also I have a buddy that might be interested in joining.

send him the link and we'll see how it goes. (Just make sure he reads the rules)

o_o

a Ball based combiner?

>_>

that's just insane enough to work., I approve.

Starting when?

Well I am just finishing up the starting page and such, so maybe tomorrow, or on Sunday. Bear with me guys.

Also, what about that friend of yours Ferrite?

I'm a t a convention till Sunday night. I will try and post when I can.

I'm a t a convention till Sunday night. I will try and post when I can.

post for the first part of the rp?

Well I am just finishing up the starting page and such, so maybe tomorrow, or on Sunday. Bear with me guys.

Also, what about that friend of yours Ferrite?

I'm helping him write up a character soon.

@FerriteFox gotcha. =) (If you need more time, i can wait a bit more.)

Alright guys, since we're getting close, time to organize who's in and whose not. Also gonna give some explinations on how i am organizing it and such.

So who is in:

Pilot231 (Me): Alex Taylor and Kazumi Arashi

Mcpop9: Dani Hatashi

Lunar Templar: Alexis Voll

Ferritefox: Rou Gernot (aka "Ball Guy")

and Ferrit you have a friend still coming in.

So the way i have it set out is gonna separate it into chapters. I have 8 titled already but i hope to get it to maybe 10 or more depending on how popular it gets. I have also scoured through the episodes of GBF's and GBFT and got a list of every field name and number between 1-13. (Fields 6 and 10 didn't get announced so i put what i believe they could be.) Chapter 1 will be titled: "Nielsen Labs, the first days".

When the time comes, i will put a link to the beginning of the rp onto this page. So keep your eyes open @mcpop9 , @Ferritefox , @Lunar Templar

Any last questions before the thing does kick off?

nope, I'm good

Can I have a Perfect Grade scale Ball that my Brigadier Ball can transform and pilot
