[OOC] Mobile Suit Gundam SEED - Heroes of ORB

[AcerRo]

I'll see what can do. I'm really looking forward to this RP

[vancexentan]

I've already decided what I want to do with Stone. Anyways anyone who has been accepted can now post in the IC. it's not completely done yet but it's something. For those who have seen my Gundam Those Who Correct don't expect the MASSIVE size of that post on the IC of this roleplay.

Character's Name: Stella J. Yong
Nicknames: “The Snake”
Gender: Female
Age: 25
Appearance:


Special Skills: Military, pilot & officer training, limited mechanical knowledge
Genetic Type: Natural/Newtype

Personality: Her time at the academy and officer candidate school has honed Stella into a sharp-edged, decisive soldier, if a little irregular in her methods. Content to fulfill her obligations to the best of her ability, Stella pursues results over methods. Whatever will do the job most efficiently is more often the answer. To this end, she is willing to overlook face value and see for herself what works and what doesn’t.

As a person, she gets along easily with those around her, saving lasting impressions until after she has gotten to know others. However, she is realistic and intuitive when it comes to judging people she has yet to meet. While in military settings, she is less emotional and more rational, she ultimately has strong moral convictions.

History: Native to Hong Kong, Stella’s parents moved to Orb as her father’s new job at Morgenroete Inc. required. The other primary reason for immigrating to Orb was to avoid the brewing tension that surrounded OMNI and ZAFT; as a neutral nation, Orb would be the safest and most ideal place to raise a family, or so they believed. Stella turned out to be a healthy, active child and her parents were very proud to have such a girl for a daughter. Although a Newtype, her abilities would not manifest themselves until later, and to everyone’s knowledge, she was a normal human. By the time she was a young teenager, Stella took an interest in the nature of her father’s work and began immersing herself in visits to his office and the plant in which he worked in. At this time, the G-Project and the Astrays were still much a secret and mobile suit technology was still unknown to the general public.

Stella’s interest in mobile armors took a turn when she announced she’d enlist with the Orb Military. Not content with simply admiring them, Stella leapt at the opportunity to sit inside one at the controls. The notion unnerved her parents, who originally sought a peaceful environment for the family. The idea of their daughter joining the military was a surprise. Stella, however, convinced them that being a neutral nation, military service in Orb would hardly be as dangerous as they thought. After much persistence, they gave up resisting and Stella set off to the naval academy.

The road to an officer’s rank was long and arduous, with a great deal of time spent on military-based academia and physical exertion. Stella preferred books to workouts, although did what was asked of her without batting an eye. It was the street kids and mavericks that caught the ire of the administration, and she was in no mood to draw unwanted attention to herself. When the subject of her schooling focused more on the operation and nature of mobile armors is when Stella started to shine as soldier material, and as a Newtype. The simulators were the most exciting thing she’d experienced so far at the academy, and a majority of her free time was spent inside the machines. Stella’s class started to acknowledge a reputation for her abilities in the sim room, and long lines of curious students became commonplace, each awaiting their turn to try to take on “Stella the Snake.” Her nickname was earned by her irregular maneuvering; combinations of zig-zags and awkward angles frustrated her opponents.

At the end of Stella’s academy term, she graduated an Ensign, with pilot status. From there, she was assigned to the Heliopolis colony, learning it was a location “of strategic importance.” She would not know the details until later…

Character's Gundam/Mobile Suit: GAT-X303 Aegis Gundam



Designated as the commander unit of the Alliance's G Project due to its enhanced communication and analysis capabilities, Aegis also has heavy attack power as well as Phase Shift armor and can transform into a mobile armor (MA) due to its X300-series frame. In MA mode, it has two different modes, 'cruise' and 'attack'. When in 'MA cruise mode', Aegis has higher speed and acceleration, while in 'MA attack mode', it can grab onto enemy ships/mobile suits with its four limbs and/or destroy them using the "Scylla" 580mm energy cannon. Other weaponry used by the suit includes two head-mounted CIWS, a hand-held 60mm beam rifle, a shield and a beam saber in each limb. Aegis also has a large sensor unit mounted at the top of its head and unlike most suits, its main thrusters seem to be mounted in the side binders, which are located at the waist. Due to the transformation system, Aegis's internal structure is more complex and it is for this reason that there are no mass production variants of the suit. Having three different modes (MS mode, MA cruise mode and MA attack mode) also means that Aegis's pilot needs to have higher skills to be able to use the suit effectively.

List of Gundam/mobile suit's weapons & equipment:
-"Igelstellung" 75mm Multi-Barrel CIWS
Mounted in the Aegis's head are two "Igelstellung" 75mm multi-barrel CIWS guns. These light projectile weapons are used to intercept missiles and to destroy lightly armored vehicles, although it is classified as Anti Air.

-Beam Saber x4
Aegis is equipped with four beam sabers that are mounted on the forearms and feet rather than hand-carried, all four can be wielded simultaneously, in either mobile suit or mobile armor configuration.

-Shield
A simple anti-beam coated shield that can be mounted on its left arm and can be stored on the side binders.

-"Scylla" 580mm Energy Cannon
A powerful energy cannon that is usable only in Aegis's 'MA attack mode'. It is the largest caliber beam weapon to be mounted on a G Project mobile suit and likely to be the strongest, it has enough power to tear through the entire width of an Earth Alliance battle ship.

-60mm High Energy Beam Rifle
Aegis Gundam's main ranged weapon when in MS mode, it is hand-held when in used and can be stored on the side binders.

-Phase Shift armor
As with all of the G Project mobile suits, the GAT-X303 Aegis is equipped with phase shift armor. When activated the Aegis's color is changed from a light grey to a bright red scheme with a bit of black and white mixed in. Phase Shift armor, when activated, renders the Aegis immune to physical attacks such as bullets, the GINN sword, or against missiles. However Phase Shift armor continually drains the battery of energy, shortening the mobile suit's combat endurance, and uses up additional energy when it is hit.

No there aren't. Extended are mostly crazy children who are made to combat the more effective coordinators if you want an extended he'd need regular medical treatment and he'd come from OMNI and already be a designated pilot for his suit. I should warn you extended are REALLY skilled but hard to play as since they have limited run time compared to other pilots.

Sorry for the late reply. I'll take your warning to heart. I still would like to make an Extended (or Boosted Man, as they were originally called). My idea is that he/she will be affiliated with OMNI and placed in the G-Project to 1. test the gundams, 2. test the abilities of boosted men, and 3. keep tabs on the project and ORB and to report to OMNI. I will RP with guidance from you, the GM; if you say in the OOC, "Hey, you can't stay in combat any longer," I will have my character retreat or suffer a crippling withdrawal in the IC. Having an extended/Boosted Man/BIological CPU will add to diversity and political/emotional tension and be a physical representation of OMNI's long arm in ORB's affairs and the G-Project. It will also make for interesting combat as my character would be piloting the supremely average and bland Duel Gundam (before Assaultshroud add-on), which sort of balances out my characters inherent abilities.

This is my asking permission from you, the GM, to make such a character. If you decide that it's still not a good idea, I'll comply.

[vancexentan]

I believe it's not a good idea but I'll let you make it.

As for Stella she looks good but put natural on the other end of the newtype. This is simply because I don't want a Kira Yamato in this roleplay (I.E Kira is considered a Coordinator Newtype in some circles which is just broke if he didn't suck so much as a pilot depending on aim bot for everything)

Also just a FYI for everyone: Newtypes here aren't as reflexive as the Coordinators but they have the ability to sense others depending on how far they are developed in their abilities and have their usual ability to get out of a kill free card thanks to their ability to sense an attack coming. Coordinators on the reflex turn into MONSTERS when they enter SEED Mode which will come later. Naturals are a bit less powerful but you are special in the sense that they are less discriminated against and are badass normals.

[Rin]

I've been having some trouble trying to figure out my character (being too sick to think straight the other day didn't exactly help ^^;), so... If I don't get them done by the end of the week assume I've dropped out because of that. Sorry about that.

[Krayzikk]

Fair enough.

If there's anything I can do to be helpful though, Rin, please feel free to ask. I have the week off from school, so there's a high likelihood that I will at some point be staring off into space in boredom, and reprieve from that would be a bonus to being helpful. XD

[Slamurai]

All set; am I cleared to post in the IC? Not sure what I'd write, but for now I'm good to go, yes?

[GreenGoat]

Back from mah trip. Now tiem to put up a post.

Just to clarify though, we're all on the island, yes?

[Krayzikk]

I don't think it has been specified where we are, be it Heliopolis or Onogoro Island.

(And yes, there's a very real threat I misspelled that second name.)

[vancexentan]

Yes we're all on Onogoro Island unless by request of more than one other person. I have not set up anything on Helioplis as it was in the middle of a crossfire recently. The gundams are split between the city and the docks. The city were delivered by air and the others by sea. The reason they're here is to put the final touches on them. It's a top secret plan not many people know about it even within the program.

As for yes everyone who has posted so far is cleared to post in the IC.

Thanks! Also, Boosted Men/Extendeds usually have babysitters. Are you going to make such an NPC or do you want me to make that character (I can double if so)? Either way, let me know if OMNI has any special/direct orders for my character(s).

[vancexentan]

It's all up to you mate if you want a second character or not I will assign an NPC otherwise.

[Stern Algorithm]

OK then, if you don't mind, could you make an NPC? I'd prefer to focus on just playing my character. I will have the CS ready soon hopefully.

[vancexentan]

Fair enough don't expect him to be nice to you though.

[vancexentan]

I'd move a character to speak to Green's girl but I don't want to move anyone too fast. If you want I could move one of the two doofs and their keeper (Toyo, Yuri, and Satsuki) respectively to talk to her.

Heh, I would want it no other way.

[Stern Algorithm]

Character Sheet:
Character's Name: Arsenio Forneus
Nicknames: Arsen (Because Arsenio is a mouthful, just don't call him 'Arse', he hates that)
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Appearance:

Special Skills: Military training, piloting training
Genetic Type: Extended
Personality: Arsen sees life as a meritocracy, a game with rules where those with ability earn power. He doesn't believe in passion, to him, people only selfishly like what they're good at and selfishly dislike what they're bad at. Everything comes down to ability, so passion is a false ideal. He likes piloting because he's good at it. Life is a competition so he sees every one of his peers as potential rivals. Because of this mindset, he is surprisingly obedient to authority compared to other Extendeds, though extremely abusive and condescending to anyone below him in rank or ability. He knows how to act sociable and friendly, but he reserves this for his superiors. In a large group setting, his personality can often be seen flipflopping between being humble and acquiescent to his superiors and arrogant and stubborn to his inferiors. This is not multiple personality disorder though, he simply grades everyone he sees, and behaves accordingly.
History: Arsenio's past and records have been erased by the Extended Project. He lived in an orphanage, but the secret program filled out the requisite paperwork and took custody of him. Among the other Extended candidates at Lodonia Lab, Arsenio was given a new name, brainwashed and subjected to various surgical, psychological and chemical enhancements. He had shown higher performance compared to his peers initially, giving him a superiority complex, but as the program dragged on, the overseers found that he had peaked, while the others continued to grow and improve. Considering Arsenio something of a failure, they continued to train the ones they viewed had more potential, and transferred Arsenio to Onogoro Island as a test pilot for the G-Project. Because the G-Project and the Astray programs were intended for the production of mass-produced mobile suits that could be piloted by Naturals, Arsenio's value lay in his mediocrity as a bridge between the ultra-talented Extendeds and Coordinators and the Naturals. Arsenio has been at the island since, assigned to the first suit and main test-bed of the prototype Gundam series, the Duel Gundam.
Other: His Extended 'quirk'/coping mechanism is OCD. He deals with the chaos of battle and social interaction with extreme alone time, arranging chess pieces, lining up pencils, straightening furniture, etc. His personal belongings consist of a stash of traditional table-top board and card games. Though he has no one to play with, he sometimes plays one-player games like Solitaire, or will play with himself as multiple players. He does not have multiple personality disorder.

Character's Gundam/Mobile Suit: GAT-X102 Duel Gundam
Appearance:

List of Gundam/mobile suit's weapons:

-2X "Igelstellung"75mm Multi-barrel CIWS: Mounted in the Duel's head are two "Igelstellung" 75mm multi-barrel CIWS guns. Although it is classified as an anti-air weapon, these light projectile weapons can be used to intercept missiles and to destroy lightly armored vehicles.
- 2X Beam Saber: Mounted in the backpack, these are the primary close combat weapons and can slice through any armor that does not have an anti-beam coating.
- 57mm High-energy Beam Rifle: Despite having the same name as Strike Gundam's beam rifle, this rifle used by Duel is of a different design and has an additional underslung grenade launcher. This is the suit's main ranged combat weapon and can easily destroy a ZGMF-1017 GINN with one shot, but is mostly ineffective against armor with anti-beam coating. It is mounted on the side skirt when not in use.
- 175mm Grenade Launcher: Fitted underneath the barrel of the beam rifle. This weapon did not see much use, but could presumably fire a variety of grenades.

- 350mm "Gáe Bulg" Rail bazooka: A projectile weapon that uses electromagnetic forces to launch the projectile. Originally developed for the Duel Gundam, it was taken for use by the Astray Gold Frame. (since it's possible the Gold Frame does not steal this weapon in our timeline, I may end up keeping it)

- Shield: The same shield as used by Strike Gundam, it does not have phase shift armor, so it is not as durable as the Duel's armor, however it also does not drain energy each time it is hit. The shield's major advantage is that it is anti-beam coated and can block or deflect beam weapon attacks, against which phase shift armor is ineffective.

I will keep this weapon/equipment list updated with impending future upgrades (like the assaultshroud armor add-on )
I can also put the pictures into hiders if they're annoying.
