[OOC] Mobile Suit Gundam: Return of War.

[Lotrix Molick]

Yeah, will do.

[mattmanganon]

@Lotrix Molick Thanks

@Keyblade87 When can we expect a post from you?

[Keyblade87]

So sorry everyone things have been super busy here but I’ll try to get a post up as soon as I can

[mattmanganon]

@Keyblade87 Would you mind if i moved the story along, because otherwise, this is a dead RP?

[Keyblade87]

Go ahead my kids have been sick lately and I’ve been dealing with that I’m so sorry everyone.

[mattmanganon]

@Lotrix Molick Well, if you're still interested, i can continue it.

[Lotrix Molick]

I'm still around but it feels like the RP isn't in a state to continue given lack of action. I'm kinda still interested but the long periods of stagnation are making it harder to remain invested.

[mattmanganon]

@Lotrix Molick I get that. I have been waiting on a post from Keyblade since just before Christmas. When I get home, I'll post up another Interest Check to see if we might be able to get a few more players in, then get started on a post.

So seeing the Wing Zero, I assume non UC mobile suits are acceptable? That being said, I'd like to ask if it would be okay to submit a Zeon character who pilots the following suit (my own creation!)

Because it is technically a Gundam, I suppose it would have to be stolen? Are the federation still experimenting on Newtypes? Because that might be a good origin for my character and how they acquired a funnel-heavy MS, and were liberated by Fukushu Zeon.

[mattmanganon]

@Stern Algorithm Woo, boy. That's a lot of guns... For the moment, I dont really want Zeon Pilots, due to the current balance being 2 active PCs on the Federation side and 3 on the Zeon and I dont really want to overwhelm them. Also, I dont want Zeon Pilots to have immediate access to Gundams. That being said, as the RP goes on, Fukushu Zeon are going to be experimenting with building their Gundams. So, getting that sucker as an upgrade later on is ok by me. But for the moment, I'd ask that you start as a Federation Pilot, defecting to Zeon later on is always an option, and you start with some kind of non-Gundam Mobile Suit, but if you're dead set on Funnel weapons, I'm happy to discuss giving you a funnel-based Mobile Suit or Armour.

As for the Federation Experinenting question. All that we know so far is that Federations Black Division have been experimenting with Newtypes. What the experiments are and what their ultimate one-goal is, however, is a mystery. I dont want any PCs being anything to do with Black Division right now, because that would involve me having to give away the big mystery.

[Lotrix Molick]

To be fair, we have 1 Federation PC, one independent PC that is usually hired by the Federation, and 3 Zeon PCs. So, it is even more weighted towards Zeon.

@mattmanganon@Lotrix Molick

Whoops, I was under the impression that we were down on Zeon pilots. I read a post from a month ago. Okay, not a problem, I think being a federation Gundam pilot makes more sense anyways.

In that case, if I start as a federation pilot, can I have the suit I shared, or should I start with a downgrade? Has the federation halted gundam development? I ask because I'm wondering if my MS should be a museum piece or a brand-spanking new suit. I'm thinking of going for a more hardcore zealot of the federation, a soldier who follows orders and believes in the peace that the federation brings and will defend it by any means necessary.

[mattmanganon]

@Stern Algorithm It is a really nice design. But I'm afraid that, due to its sheer size and power, I would rather you had it as an upgrade later on. I kinda want everyone to have something to work towards and look forward to getting later down the line and that walking epitome of the term "Putting the GUN in Gundam" really fits the bill. Considering that it looks like it has more firepower than Strike Freedom w/ METEOR.

As for the other question, the Federation has produced, to the public knowledge, 2-3 Gundams, around 20 years ago to mark the 25th anniversary of the end of the last war. They included the Wing Zero and I'm happy to let you also have one. Maybe have you arrive as the reinforcements the Federation have sent.

[Keyblade87]

Woah that’s a lot of guns. I have to agree on making that an upgrade suit later on. Also that character sounds super fun. I’m going to enjoy seeing what comes of it.

[Stern Algorithm]

@mattmanganon

Hmm, I'd rather not have the same suit as another player, so is there a list of other suits that have been developed from which I can choose, or can I suggest a suitable?

If the latter, I'd like to suggest the following as a more basic, Newtype-use Gundam:

[mattmanganon]

@Stern Algorithm Yup, that seems fine.

[Stern Algorithm]

Name: Saturnalia "Nalia" Noelle
Age: 24
Gender: Female
Faction: Federation
Personality:

A Newtype born on Earth with Spacenoid parents, Nalia holds a unique view of sociopolitics. As far as she is concerned, Spacenoids and Newtypes are just like everyone else, with all the rights and privileges that are guaranteed by the Federation. She sees Zeonic movements, past and present, as facist, terror movements lead by lunatics and militants, barbarians who do not recognize the value of peace. She cannot understand what Spacenoids could possibly be fighting for, nor does she recognize any form of oppression that they supposedly experience. Deeply patriotic, Nalia zealously believes in the Federation and the principles that it purportedly stands for. She believes that to attain peace, any cost is acceptable, and rationalizes extreme force with utilitarian fallacies. Surprisingly, Nalia is caring to those around her, empathetic even, but her views have created walls to truly understanding the thoughts of members of Zeon. In social situations, she is quiet and demure, and deferent to authority, and follows orders without question.

MS/Gundam: YMF-X000A Dreadnought Gundam
Description:

A sister suit to the Wing Zero, the Dreadnought was designed as the testbed for developing mass-produced mobile suits for Newtypes. Since the peace, more and more Spacenoids and Newtypes are being integrated into the federation, so mass-produced mobile suits for Newtypes became a more feasible prospect. It uses a psychoframe that allows Newtypes to control the suit as an extension of their body, while allowing them to control the four funnels and two hip-mounted beam reamers.

Armaments

• 4 x MMI-GAU2 "Picus" 76mm CIWS head-mounted Vulcans
• MA-M22Y Beam Rifle
• MA-MV04 Composite Armed Shield System (Beam Saber)
• 4 x Funnel Pod (40 x Beam Gun, 10 per pod)
• 2 x XM1 "Pristis" Beam Reamer

[mattmanganon]

@Stern Algorithm Accepted.

[Stern Algorithm]

I think Nalia should have a rank, as should Aster, I think Nalia should be a lower rank than Aster.

[mattmanganon]

@Stern Algorithm Aster is a Captain. Your character would be of similar rank, probably Lieutenant, maybe Lieutentant-Commander.
