Name: Verdi Augustus Salvatore
Age: 16
Gender: Female

Apperance:


Nationality: Italian

Favourite Gundam Series: Gundam Wing, G Gundam, Gundam Unicorn, Gundam 00

Personality: She is a genuinely nice girl, though she often expresses her annoyance when things go wrong. During battling she can come across as a more rash and demanding person. Though Verdi is much more friendly and cheery outside of battle. She even will talk to her rivals casually, sometimes merely to poke fun at them in a teasing manner.

History:
Verdi Salvatore is born and raised in italy for most of her life. Her mother and father both being italian as well. Growing up her interests was always towards cooking it was intriguing to say the least. Seeing her interest they allowed her to attend a cooking class in which she quickly grew in and soon mastered what they were teaching where she was more informed than the teacher in some cases. Quickly she rose beyond that going to a more prestigious cooking classes and eventually becoming a apprentice to a professional chef. Under the strict tutelage she grew more and more. Eventually though she was let out by her master and told that he could teach her no more.

Eventually she moved back to her parents in Monteriggioni though this was short lived as her father gotten a promotion and they had to move to Florence. Continuing her cooking though was what really mattered to her and as such she quickly went out to find a new chef that was willing to let her be their apprentice. Sadly she found none and as such eventually she wandered into a hobby store. Seeing as she had nothing better to do she entered and look around and see what was with the large commotion. Her intro was kind of odd to say the least as soon as she walked in to see what was happening she was handed a gundam deathscythe to use. Being forced into a battle she eventually found that for her it was like cooking requiring precision and control to win. Figuring out the controls and that was at first a bit awkward as shown with her falling and accidentally letting the vulcans go off. Eventually she figured out how and like with her cooking she took control over the "ingredients" and with precision "prepared" them. Though she won a few battles she eventually lost. Afterwords she was quick to demand a explanation on what happened.

She was told that it was a tournament and she was confused as a entrant and thus was rushed into the battle. As a way of saying sorry she was given the gunpla of deathscythe she used and a kit for the spiegel gundam. Seeing as she enjoyed herself she asked for help on how to put the kit together she was quickly ushered to a new room and given a impromptu lesson. A few years later she was now 13 and while she eventually managed to find a new chef to apprentice under like her previous one it was ended quickly seeing as she had nothing left to learn. Seeing as she kept up with her new found hobby of gunpla she used her sudden free time to enter multiple tournaments till eventually she won the 19 and under singles tournament. Stopping at the store where it all started where she decided to as with all of the other trophies to allow the owner to display them as her "sponser". It was than she decided to join the "blind" tourney that was going on and getting to the finals she was quickly destroyed by a wing gundam. It was only after she found her opponent was a world level competitor Ricardo Fellini.

It was there that he told her she had great skill but just needed more polish to really shine beautifully. So he left the store after placing a helmet with goggles on her head and left saying that in a few more years to challenge him again. The helmet quickly became on of her most prized possessions along with her gunpla and motorized scooter. It was a bit after that meeting she was sent a letter from Akiba Academy saying she was accepted to the gunpla school after a recommendation they received from one Ricardo Fellini. Deciding to accept the invitation she packed and flew to japan to attend the academy. Though she can speak the language she does have a habit of slipping italian into it at times as well.

Name: Yuki Blake

Age: 16

Gender: Female

Appearance:


Nationality: Japanese/American living in America.

Favorite Gundam Series: She's never actually sat down with any of the Anime or Manga. The actual lore of Gundam doesn't interest her. As such she tends to build completely divorced from any unintentional restrictions being lore savvy might put on her.

That said, she has a preference for U.C. Mobile Suits.

Personality:
Yuki tends to be rather quiet around new people. Common interests can and do mitigate this, and once she warms up to some one she opens people find a polite and friendly. 'Quiet' doesn't mean 'doormat' though, and she won't put up with some one trying to bully her.

History:
Yuki was born to a Japanese man and American woman, and her mother, was willing to play along and be a 'good wife' for a time. It wasn't until her father started telling Yuki that 'proper girls don't do such things' and forbidding her from pursuing things she was interested in that her mother dropped the act of the 'good wife' and the fighting started, and the fights quickly expanded to be about more then just the stiffing of Yuki's interests

Yuki was 13 when the fighting started to get real bad. So much so that she began to sneak out to get away from it. It was during one of these 'escapes' that she wandered into a hobby shop to get out of a sudden, heavy rain. Yuki had been aware of the Gunpla crazy, but hadn't really paid it much mind, she figured her father would just yell at her if she show any interest in it, but she there she was in a hobby shop, and away from him.

Yuki watched as a pair of fighters squared off in a rather intense dual that left both Gunpla totaled, after which the two combatants sat down and chatted about the fight like they'd been watching it on TV or something. Needless to say, it blew her mind, she was used how her parents fought after all. By the time her parents noticed she was and came looking for her, Yuki had already put a Zaku II together and was in the battle room learning how to make the thing move from one of the fighters she'd watched and approached with a battery of questions.

Her mother found her first, and instead of immediately taking Yuki home she let her finish what was very clearly a lesson. It'd been a long time since she'd seen Yuki genuinely happy anyway, she didn't want to spoil it. The fighting continued as per usual, and Yuki sneaking out during them became common, the search almost always ending at the hobby shop. Yuki coming home from school late also became common. In that Hobby shop she'd found sanctuary.

The Marriage last only another few months before her father made good on his threat to kick them both out, Yuki, like her mother, having become openly defiant, especially when if came to her new Gunpla hobby. The last straw coming from him breaking her Zaku II with a hammer and Yuki punching him in the face, breaking his nose, and when her mother refused to punish Yuki or let him punish her, he threw them both out, and true to the reply Yuki's mother had always made to the threat of being throw out, they where in America less then a week later.

Once they had settled in, and Yuki contacted her friends back in Japan to let them know she'd arrived safely and where settled in, Yuki began looking for a new 'sanctuary', and finding it in a fairly good sized independent hobby shop.

Now, a couple years later, her mother remarried, and her step father is an actual 'father' to her, and her new baby brother. She is a fixture at the hobby shop as well, and in the local tournament scene, and is know for some creative builds, even her 'straight builds' usually do, have one or two things they wouldn't normally do just to screw with people, earning her the nickname 'Sleeping Beauty' due to her leaning toward changing what the Gunpla does rather then changing how it looks.

But the fates would see her back in Japan, as an invitation to the Akihabara Academy made it's way to a very confused Yuki.

Name: Kyo Hizaki
Age: 16
Gender: ?

Appearance:


Nationality: Japanese

Favorite Gundam Series: G/Wing

Personality: Somewhat shy, does open up more as they talk to people and become friends. Tends to be subject to mood swings when emotional.

History: Kyo was bullied as a child, never quite looking male or female, they were teased for it. This eventually pushed Kyo to reject both of the genders, deciding to go with neither. They grew up and got their first glimpse of gundam Via G Gundam, enthralled with the tournament and got into Gunpla shourtly afterwards. Kyo soon found their other favorite series, Gundam wing. This time it captured their fascination with the gundam as an emblem and sybol of power, the prowess some teenager like themself could have. This led to the encouragement to get into gunpla fighting, trying to make a name for themself and prove that even someone like they could win and succeed. So here they are at Akiba Academy.

weapons:

MMI-GAU26 17.5mm CIWS Head vulcans

MA-BAR73/S High-Energy Beam Rifle

Twin Buster Rifle
charges off reactor insdea of packs now, been remodeled by Ryo to do so now that it's no longer on a mass production suit.

Anti-Laser shield + Energy Shield
First coated with a beam resistant laser and then itself containing an I field shield, the shield functions both as a defense and a weapon.

4x Beam Sabers
~2x in the struts that hold the wings to the gunpla
~2x in the hip skirts

Special features:
ARS prototype system.

Creates a holographics respresentation of the weapon used with the system. in the case of the XS, it is the handle(s) of the buster rifle and the sight, allowing it to be held and aimed by Kyo.

System is currently good for one attack because it is in the prototype stages and only sports a boost to accuracy.

Mushin no tsubasa (Wings of No God): Kyo has attuned and adjusted the wings from wing zero to become very accurate and powerful thrust devices, each sporting plenty of thrusters built in, using power from the reactor to jet high energy streams out of them.
They are also capable of diluting the area around the Gunpla with plavasky particles, rendering long range beam attacks and rather useless While the system is active, however, it does lessen the maneuverability of the Gunpla and dilute the beams from its own Rifles to mere short to mid range.

Name: Haruna Hakurei
Age: 16
Gender: Female

Appearance:


Nationality: Japanese

Favorite Gundam Series: Gundam 00

Personality: She can come across as a no nonsense type of person though in reality she is actually the opposite. In reality she is more of a childish person using her intellect to research and "conduct" research on the oddest things. Beyond that she is a devoted person and will put in all possible resources to making sure that she completes her tasks. Or she has been known to devote herself to wellbeing and caring of her elder sister at multiple occasions.

History: Haruna has a small family never really knowing her parents she grew up and was raised with her other three sisters. The oldest being the one who actually raised her and took care of her other siblings. In terms of gunpla her entire family is practically well known her oldest sister is a constant contender for the world tournament. Her second oldest works as a scientest in Yajima Labs for plavsky particle study. Than finally her twin sister is often shown as a model for most gunpla adds. While personally she is more of a builder being the best out of all her sisters at building. It has been a well documented fact that her oldest sister often states that she has lackluster skills in building and her gunpla is often build by her youngest sister. This among with a recommendation from her oldest sister got her a spot at the prestigious gunpla academy. Though while she enjoyed it and did well there she eventually transferred to Akiba academy due to familial reasons as she wanted to be closer to her sisters.

Name: Charlie “Chuck” Ford
Age: 17
Gender: Male

Appearance:


Nationality: American

Favourite Gundam Series: 0079>Zeta>Char’s Counterattack>ZZ>everything else. Really likes G but has trouble ranking it, as it’s barely a Gundam show in the first place.

Personality:
Even though Chuck has a sense of humor and isn’t a bad person, he’s not terribly fond of shenanigans and will bluntly point out things he feels are idiotic, often losing patience with others. He enjoys Gundam and Gunpla, but unlike the insane devotion most people in the world seem to have for them his life doesn’t necessarily revolve around the franchise and he has other hobbies. He is also rather critical of the quality of Gundam as a whole, rather than think it the faultless masterpiece public opinion holds it as, though he's still quite knowledgeable about the franchise as a whole.

History:
Chuck is something of an anomaly in the gunpla circuit in that he’s a fairly normal kid. No tragic, bizarre or otherwise terribly outstanding backstory or relation to championship players or well known organizations, no gifted dominance of fields that should by all rights be outside the scope of a teenager, he’s just a kid from Texas who’s into anime, videogames, comics and the like. He enjoys giant robot works in general and has hobbies other than Gunpla battle, particularly FPSes and strategy games, and though he’s hardly competitive level in them he makes use of what he learned on these fields to his advantage.

Unlike the vast majority of the people in the circuit, his building skill comes not from having a million kits with which to toy around with and endless amounts of plastic and the facilities required to scratchbuild but rather precisely because he lacked all of these. His family was supportive of his hobbies, but Gunpla can be expensive and he had other things to occupy him, so what he worked on he did gradually at school and he focused on perfecting every little detail, resulting in high quality if comparatively simple pieces. A big fan of the Zeong gigantic mobile suit, he simply couldn't justify spending the money on the humongous kit, hence his primary unit.

Chuck isn't even sure how he got recruited into a school in Japan. He was the biggest player in his small town, yes, and his skills in his chosen playstyle are undeniable but he never really stepped outside his boundaries much or even competed in regionals. To his knowledge he didn't even beat anyone worth mentioning. To even find crappy videos of him playing in his town or elsewhere on vacation one has to know exactly what they're looking for or one might simply pass them up for being crappy family videos. The entire situation makes him rather leery, but he's taking the opportunity to go on a trip and maybe see if he can make a living out of his hobby.

Gunpla Info



AMX-102 Zssa
A well built and painted but otherwise wholly unremarkable AMX-102 Zssa equipped with its booster unit and painted in the Zeong's colors. Its 66 missiles of varying sizes lend themselves well to Chuck's preferred playstyle and are more than capable of blowing even mobile armors to smithereens from the sheer number of explosions directed at them. The machine is also armed with head vulcans, beam sabers, a scattering beam gun mounted on its torso and a pair of hand-carried beam machineguns, but those are there as backup. The Zssa is smaller and faster than the Axis Zeong and can transform into a waverider mode but it's less well armored and can't quite match its firepower.

Name: Joe Kurogane
Age: 15
Gender: Male


Nationality: Japanese

Favorite Gundam Series: G Gundam, Gundam Beast

Personality: Joe doesn't want to be here. He's not interested in the Gundam franchise, he's not interested in pursuing a career in pro Gunpla, and he really, really hates the kind of losers that frequent the Akibahara district. However, he understands what wins in this sport, just like in the Toku and "actual decent robot" shows he loves: Hard Work And Guts. While your performance in the arena won't impress him, your training MIGHT. He's mostly sticking around because it's the school closest to his house, and by Japanese school districts, he's stuck here. Plus, he figures that the faculty here's going to be interested in funding one of his personal projects.

History: Joe's family has always been gearheads who love giant robots, superheroes, and space. Well, giant robots that aren't Gundam. This really colored their career paths. His Uncle Go builds military robots. His Uncle Saotome works on autopilot systems for jets. His brother Jiron works in bomb disposal. His sister Noriko joined the navy to work with guidance systems. His cousin Gai is an astronaut. Joe and his father, however, take after Grandpa Sadamitsu- a grizzled mechanic and known hellraiser from the days when Bancho were in every schoolyard. As Joe's father Kouji took up the Kurogane Motors mechanic shop withe the retirement of his grandfather, Joe was set to take up the mantle down the road, after apprenticing under his father and graduating high school.

That is, until he received an invitation to a gunpla school in the district with no way to refuse. Due to the zoning laws of the Japanese education system, he must attend the closest school to his place of residence- in this case, the unaccredited school where students study Gunpla and nothing else. He dreads being stuck here, since he's pretty sure they don't give out real diplomas and he has no interest in being a professional gunpla player. But while he's here, he might as well make some friends.

Special features: Like most mechs from Gundam Beast, the Dybile Gundam is able to switch between a Beast Mode and Mobile Suit mode with various advantages and disadvantages. In the case of Dybile, the Beast Mode is capable of flight and has better defenses. However, while it can't fly, the Mobile Suit mode has hands. As an additional advantage, its thrusters are all pointed backward in Suit Mode- allowing it to use all its thrust to move forward quickly.

Name: Iggy Burton
Age: 16
Gender: M


Nationality: American
Favorite Gundam Series: Mobile Suit Gundam F91

Personality: A hotshot who's at his best when he's weaving through enemy fire, Iggy lives for the rush that simulated piloting gives him. Brash and supremely confident in his skills as a pilot, he has no respect for a machine that can't move well.

History:
For as long as he could remember, Iggy wanted to pilot a fighter jet in the United States Air Force, a dream that was cruelly and swiftly crushed by his doctor. As it turned out, Iggy suffered from minor blood clotting in his legs which, while perfectly benign and having no impact on his life expectancy or day-to-day life, would prove fatal if he were to pilot a supersonic aircraft. Frustrated, but undeterred, Iggy lived vicariously through shoot 'em ups and flight simulators. A combination of intuitive understanding and raw passion propelled him up the scoreboards of the local arcades.
Eventually, he became unsatisfied. True, he was an ace in the simulators, but it just wasn't enough. Iggy needed more. He wanted to show people his skills, to be renowned as an ace pilot. The next logical step, he decided, was to break into the gunpla scene and show those two-bit chumps the true meaning of air superiority.
