Gundam SEED rp?

[Myviewing]

As the title suggests, this is an interest check to see if there is enough interest of beginning a Gundam Seed roleplay I've had in mind. Here are some key things that I've prepared for the setting:

- Set 26 years after the Second Bloody Valentine War.
- A third genetically enhanced race will be introduced.
- Canon characters will appear alongside original creations. Will not apply to characters killed in the timeline though.
- The conflict will mostly be subtle due to the third race's numbers but will soon escalate.

Roleplayers can control as many characters as they feel necessary to move along their plot. If there's any interest in the setting I can post the timeline for the events that happened up to this point.

So that's what I have thus far. Anything else I can elaborate I'll be sure to work on. It will also help if I could get a general idea of whether anyone would prefer free or casual level roleplay.

So... Gundam SEED Unicorn?

I may be interested... Maybe... I have been looking for a good Gundam RP. But I notoriously loathe SEED, primarily because it's a remake of a far superior show that tries to one up its predecessor, by shoehorning in all of the worst Mecha-Anime tropes of the 00's into it, and turning the strong, confident, adult characters, into snot-nosed, annoying little kids.

I heard Gundam.

Gundam gets me interested.

Like Kira, Athrun, Shin etc.

I should catch up to the Gundam Animes... but I'll be sitting for a damn long time.

@Matt, where is DMZ? Feel like continuing his old rp we used to be in...

Pretty accurate summary.

Nice to see I have some interest this time. I guess I can chalk the interest as 1.5 at least? OOC will probably be up as soon as one or two more show step forward as well. Thanks for posting interest guys.

I think that for a very plot-dependent RP like Gundam, we should keep a tight amount of RPers so that the IC can move quicker. What are your takes on that?

Oh, and how lenient are you with Original Gundams and Made-Up ones?

Can't remember. It was with robots too. We had to buy parts and everything. We can create our own for other guys to purchase and put on their mechs.

Does this remind you anything?

That is something I would like to work with. I have had a history of rps (not on this site) where there was initial interest but everybody kind of left after a few posts. I think I might have a process where I can maintain activity.

For original and made-up mobile suits, I support both especially considering the setting. I've also got a certain type of mobile suit in mind for the third genetically enhanced race that will be exclusive to them. For the most part though I'd like the customs to make sense with the setting (Basically I'd prefer original creations over crossovers).

[VKAllen]

I see, Well, looks like all is well for the kind of Mobile Suit i'll be choosing.

So I take it this is the extent of the interest?

[CrashTerrific]

I'm interested. Is this still going?

^ This

[VKAllen]

I don't know. I'm still down.

I think we might be able to form enough to have something going. I kind of had a feeling turnout would be like this so just a final bit I'll be giving faction control to everyone participating. If that's cool then I'll get an OOC up as soon as possible. It's getting late on my end right now.

Sweet. In that case i guess activity check?! 0.o

I'll be waiting for it. Reserving ZETA!
