It is the year 2027 and the world has progressed in various ways technologically, medically, and physically. For the most part life is as usual rather dull and boring for the most part but technological advances have made it so it doesn't have to be. Enter the world of Gunpla: The technological marvels of the current generations have allowed model makers of the plastic gundam suits to animate and fight it out with their models in contests to see who will win. This is the era of the third Gundam boom in which has seen the increase of many sales of the models and many more fans of the gundam series. Entire celebrity followings have been made to center around this phenomenon as much as sports and music.

In which the grand finale of the gunpla is usually the grand championship of the world. However after seeing the market crave more of this they decided to add a new championship to the set. Adding to the current Intentional titles of: North American Championship, Pacific Championship, Asian Championship, Euro Championship, and North African Championship along with International Champion comes the first ever Tag Team Championship. Previously tag teams have not been recognized officially but with the increase of interest once more various companies including Bandai and the makers of the plavsky particle machines which make it all possible comes the International Team Championship. Now not only can friends join together in an attempt to gain the newly made championship (with the team being sponsored by someone) but strangers are allowed to enter a specially made randomizer which will give them a team in which will be formed to compete against another team in a bid to win a sponsor to enter the tournament. Now is the time in which to reach for the stars and become one...

Rules:
1. All typical roleplay rules apply
2. Canon Gundam armor and systems doesn't matter in this along with special systems having little effect on the machine itself. Things like the berserk system won't have much effect outside of a small boost in one section or another. For example wing gundam can be beat by a Gyan, Devil Gundam can be beat by a mere Jegan, and melee based gundams are at a disadvantage against heavy ranged suits like the Quebley. Think carefully about which suit you want because these aren't the real suits just replicas.
3. You are allowed up to three mobile suits to use with one alternate in case your in story lose one of your suits. Suits can be rebuilt but it will take time and it takes longer depending on the skills of your gunpla making skills on your character.
4. We're all going to be on the same team but NPC characters can be controlled if you want to control a npc on another team please ask first.

You have my interest.

A few points followed by a few questions.

Points. I love Gundam, I have watched many of the series (Wing, Seed, 00, etc) and some of the movies. I haven't watched Build Fighters. I love Gunpla, but I couldn't bring myself to watch an anime about it, which I hope isn't too weird. however, I think roleplaying a Gunpla tournament is a great idea.

Questions. Do we need to have 4 suits (3 and 1 alternate) or is fewer allowable. How many suits does the GN-008GNHW/3G Seravee Gundam count as? Of course, If I'm allowed to use this suit, I understand that the Trial System and Trans-Am System are moot. If the above mentioned suit does not count as four suits, I'd also like to use Legend Gundam. Do dragoons/funnels/fangs/(any form of remote control of multiple weapons flying about) count as a special system that will be knocked down for the sake of balance? How many people are expected to be in the team?

Well, that's it for now, hope more people hop on this.

You only need one suit you're allowed up to three or four. The seravee counts as one suit. The systems AREN'T moot they're just not as effective. The F91's system burns the paint off the suit, Trans-AM is available on units who have units who are good enough to have the thing work on the gunpla. The last episode meijin vs. meijin proved that. Legend gundam is allowed and the funnels work just like anything else. Aila's custom quebley has a shit ton of funnels itself however for balance sake let's just say your character isn't very good with using them perhaps? I can't think of any real banes I can make the legend have. I mean in gunpla a jegan can take down a devil gundam.

OK, I was curious because the Seravee 3G can split into 1 manned suit and three remote controlled unmanned suits. OK, so Trans-Am is allowed but depends on pilot skill, what about the Trial System? It's usage is extremely specific to the 00 universe. Also will Phase Shift Armor from the Seed series have much of an effect? It sort of just explains why "gundams" had better defense than non-Gundam. So I haven't watched Build Fighters, so I hope you'll excuse the endless questions. I do know that in Build Fighters, there are builders and pilots, is that how it's going to be in this RP? And how many members per team?

Thanks.

I'll allow one suit per battle the most there's ever been were remote controlled plastic soldiers. The trial system is not allowed because just simply shutting down enemy suits is BS. Armor has no place in this universe. A infinite justice gundam got blown out of the air by a physical based zaku amazing. There is no difference between what suits can and cannot do outside of quality, the age of which they were made in (custom suits tend to have an advantage over normal suits) and how well the pilots can fight. There can be up to two pilots fighting in the same suit at once. One as a tech the other controlling a suit but most people only fight by themselves. Reiji and Sei fight as a team but Ricardo Fellini fights by himself and is still a freaking beast. As for teams we're all going to be on the same team so numbers will be decided on when people join. If two people really want a fight they can do so in a practice arena outside of the tournament.

One more bump just to make sure.
