Gundam S-Rivals

[Quasi]

Firstly, this is more of a school rp. No particular reason; just a swing of a mood. Kids blowing eachother up with giant mechs sounds fun; hence the 18+ tag(?) I don't really want anything not allowed on this public guild site - guild rules matter. But I don't want to police anything more than I have to. Granted, this is my first Gm'ed rp. Sorry for any sloppiness.

But foremost-ly, this is a Gundam rp. I don't really watch the show, but the reference is kinda how I see them all. Like calling any soda a 'coke'. Because Coka cola became so successful in marketing. Whether its a gundam or a mecha or a super robot; its all the same here with minor differences that don't mean much between whatever you decide on.

The School:

The school is like any other four year school. I'll be simple and just include one class per 5 day week. I expect the classes will be largely skipped IC, but it will be in school or dorms that your characters will mostly interact. The entire student body will be split between three factions. Orange, Purple, Green. There's plans for story progression here which I'll get to in the main thread.

The Gundams:

Between the students, players can commence in battles that will remain 1x1 for simplicity outside of any special circumstances. There's multiple deviations how your gundam can differentiate between another, but the basis is something to the idea of chess pieces.
Pawns are worth 1 point. Knights 2. Bishops 3. Rooks 4. Queens 5. More on this in the main thread.

I'm mostly just gathering interest and bouncing a few ideas; though most of this is set how I think would be fun. Like I said, this is my first gm, so thanks for reading. ^-^

@Quasi, so are the kids actually going around piloting giant robots? Or is it something more like Gundam Build Fighters?

@TheWindel

Actually yea, that's not too far off. I was thinking more SAO type*, but that's not a bad comparison.

* with computers to connect them to their machines in a virtual space directly. There wouldn't be the characters physically controlling them like it seems they do the gunpla.

[TheWendil]

Funnily enough, that side series does eventually go from plastic toys to full SAO MMO using Gundam so whatever works best for this set up I suppose.

Regardless, I have my eye on this.

[TreasureSniper]

Sounds good to me. Consider me interested.

[Quasi]

Cool beans ^-^

Glad to have the two of you on board; I'll be working on the main thread which will go up hopefully Friday.

Any questions, I can answer until then. Just let me know.

[KoL]

Interesting, interesting.

I can already feel a passion many times greater than ordinary flamenco burning in my veins.

[TheWendil]

Uh huh.

[Quasi]

Flamenco?

[Quasi]

Sorry, KoL-Senpai :3

Thanks for being here ^-^

[KoL]

Uh huh.

@TheWindel

Do you dare keep me away from this? To build borders?

What has borders given us?

[TheWendil]

I'm going to break your machine first.

So, you say "gundam or a mecha or a super robot" basically all mean the same thing to you. I wanted to ask a little bit more about what that means to you in terms of theme and power.

Like, contained in the realm of "super robots" has stuff like "My super robot is the manifestation of my fighting spirit, and I can smash two galaxies together to make a new big bang to explosively birth a universe at you as a beam weapon" and in mecha there's also stuff like "this is basically a powered exoskeleton to allow you to lift heavier stuff, most practical of which is a nice gun that shoots bullets".

These demonstrate two scales of "Mechs the cool visual choice, but they basically run on magic." to "What if Mechs were a weapon of war? How would they work? What would be practical?", aka, "Hard Sci-Fi vs Soft Sci-Fi" as well as "How big and powerful and crazy are these supposed to be" of "Small Scale vs Big Scale". Those are not tied together as you can have Hard Sci-Fi that is powerful with supercomputers predicting the future or Magical Mecha that run out of power if you try and move too much too fast, but like, I'd like to know what you have in mind as far as these two scales go. Do you have a mech in mind for yourself that you could use as an example?

You seem to have mentioned some sort of VR style, but I'm curious, as you could totally make a hard sci-fi small scale tactical VR world, or a soft sci-fi explosive extravaganza VR world for your Mecha battles.

@The 42nd Gecko Basically my indifference to what they're called is mostly because I don't delve into this genra often. I will have better explination to what I have in mind after I post the main thread, but to give you close to what I am looking for, it kinda is that seriea Windel posted a link to. Minus the toy aspect.

[Quasi]

Actually, i posted a mech earlier. You can get beefier than that, but its about what im after.

[TheWendil]

So basically, Gundam-tier robots then. Interesting.

[KoL]

Sorry, KoL-Senpai :3

Thanks for being here ^-^

@Quasi

No worries, but...

Flamenco?

@Quasi

Still needs more passion:

[Keyblade87]

oh this sounds super interesting if you're still accepting people I'd be more than interested in this.

[Quasi]

Of course, glad to have you on board as well!

I know I said I'd have it up probably today, but I'm admittedly a bit behind schedule. It'll be up either late today or sometime tomorrow though, so thanks for waiting. :3

Thanks for waiting, sorry for any slop.

OOC is up~<3
