[OOC] Moblie Suit Gundam: The War in the North

[Gurren1]

Hello everyone to my Gundam RP! If you have no idea what Gundam is that is okay you can still play and I will try to help you as much as possible. This takes place during the One Year War and if you aren't familiar with it here is a summary of it. http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/One_Year_War Anyways Enjoy!!

Its the dying days of the One Year War. Zeon after being crushed at Odessa have scattered to regroup but the determined Federation has followed closely. Liberating Europe as they sweep against the crumpling Zeon forces. However up north to the Scandinavian countries divisions of Zeon troops are resisting any attempt of recapture. The heaviest being in Norway where the Federation is being pushed back to Oslo the capital of the country. Lead by General Tymer who became infamous in the Invasion of Europe for his cunning tactics against the Federation. With Finland,Sweden,and Norway still under his control the General welcomes survivors from Odessa to come and help him take back Europe for the Principality. The only problem is Oslo the Federations last major base in Norway still blocks the way to mainland Europe...

The Federation realizing what would happend if the city fell has sent Mobile Suit teams to assist with the defense of the city. One of the squads nicknamed "Fighting Hornets" will be one of the most told stories of this war.

Notes:
To keep thing simple for rookies and such we have decided to go with you picking from the four mobile suits below( modification later on are alright). Also to make this realistic if you choose a Limited Production suit and
is damaged in battle especially when we are deep into enemy lines you may not be able to get replacement parts and will have to use other parts.

The most common suit produced by the Federation and also the most open to modification are GMs
http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/RGM-79_GM they are all around a great mobile suit.

A Limited Production mobile suit the GM Striker was an extremely well close combat suit with many beam sabers and armor however suffered from long range.

The GM Sniper is exactly what you thought it would be a sniper that works well from afar but is weak a close combat.

The artillery of Mobile Suits the Guncannon Mass Production type was used for bombardments of Zeon strongholds and could hold its ground in a firefight. However it was Limited Production and was hard to come by.

More notes will be added as I feel are needed.

Rules:
All RP Guild rules apply
Everyone will be a Federation trooper. Also once we reach five players to make the squad we will start the RP. If you still want to participate PM me and we can talk about you being a minor character in the story.
This is going to be a realistic mech RP so please nothing to ridiculous
A few squadmates may die and if are gone for more then three days without a explanation we may kill you off if someone else wants to join.
Enjoy!

Posted to note my interest, as we discussed when coming up with the RP. Also, am I still good to have the pixie?

[Gurren1]

Of course. I was thinking that the Pixie is being tested to see if it is worth mass producing during the RP.

[Slamurai]

OYW! Consider me in! What would you say to the RGM-79SP GM Sniper II? It rolled out around the same time as the RX-77D and the White Dingo Team used them both.

Sounds good to me. I like the idea as well that if it's a limited production model, then spares will be hard to come by. I figure it'll end up being an inadvertent custom due to being repaired with GM parts and whatever else is around.

And Aristo, I was going to flag this up to you, but looks like I don't need to!

[Gurren1]

Alright Aristo you can have the GM Sniper 2 but since very few were built it will be hard to replace.

[Slamurai]

I'll take good care of her.

[Gurren1]

Here is a minor character that the team will have to go against. More to come.

Name: Yuri Ronner
Age: 33
Personality: Loud,very open about his opinion, and has a deep hatred with the Federation.
Appearance:http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20121028073915/gundam/images/2/2a/Zeon_Officers.jpg the one in the front.
Mobile Suit: http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/MS-06_Zaku_II equipped with 120mm Machine Gun, heat hawk,and 2 3-tube missile launchers. His Zaku is painted a dark forest green with a yellow shoulder spike armor.
Rank: Captain
Bio: Yuri was part of the first Invasion force to Europe. He participated in the Invasion of Denmark where he made a name for himself after he was able to break a Federation defensive line with just a few troops in Zaku's. After Denmark fell to Zeon hands Yuri was transferred to Odessa to protect the mines. Later in the war Yuri was again transferred to Norway days before the Federation attack on the mines. While in Poland trying to reach the airbase his squad was attacked by GMs and killed nearly of his team. He was the only one left after his Zaku was knocked out. Now in the Battle of Oslo he seeks revenge for his fallen comrades on the field.

Name: Rebecca Smart
Age: 33
Personality:
Rebecca has a fairly outgoing and open personality. She has dedicated much of her life to a professional career in the EFF, first beginning her career in the Air Force.
She has always had a professional attitude to her work, but is a somewhat laid-back and cheerful person for the most part, treating even negative situations with a dark humour.
She was born on Earth, rather than in space, but still has a great deal of empathy for those who live in space, as her mother was a spacenoid, and was critically wounded in the early stages of the war, and is currently in a coma. She has a strong dedication for fighting Zeon forces, but does not see them all as universal monsters, instead seeing it as her duty to fight, but expecting that they view it much the same way.
She tends to keep quiet about her views regarding the enemy, and even her allies, having seen many EFF personnel act with cruelty and general unbecoming conduct towards POWs and other Zeon personnel, but has stepped up and put herself in the way of near-atrocities and war crimes due to her beliefs and general feelings regarding the situation.

Aside from her military-related qualities, she is a fond lover of old music, drinking and a smoker. Despite this, she does love to indulge in pursuits such as dancing (having studied professional dance at a younger age), and is also a keen swimmer.

Appearance: Rebecca
Mobile Suit: Gundam Pixie
Rank: 2nd Lieutenant
Bio:
Rebecca was trained as an attack helicopter pilot, and distinguished herself in the opening stages of Zeon's operation to drop mobile suits and other forces to earth in March 0079.
Operating in North America, she and her squadron used their helicopters' capabilities to the maximum extent. Using pop-up attacks and extensive hit-and-run operations they disabled a handful of Zeon forces, particularly striking rear-area supply convoys and support elements, although their losses were extensive, and the changing front-lines forced them to abandon their tactics.

Her quick-thinking and developing of skills, coupled with her ingenuity and daring lead to her being reassigned to training as a Mobile Suit pilot, and assigned to the Northern Europe task force. After completing her training on a GM Trainer and showing high aptitude and a strong grasp of mobile suit piloting skills, she was assigned to piloting a ground-type GM for a short while, racking up a goodly number of kills and showing excellent aptitude, as well as her strong personality characteristics suiting her well towards the role of a mobile suit pilot.

With this information coming through, she was reassigned to piloting one of the handful of RX-78XX Gundam Pixie units, and sent with her Pixie to Northern Europe to join a unit there in further operations to dislodge Zeon from the region.

I hope that's okay. I tried to put in a good mix of information, and make her distinctive and worth having a gundam-type unit, without being a super-duper ace or anything.

Also, I used this for the ranks. I put her rank in the Ground Forces, as she was a helicopter pilot.

[Gurren1]

I like it a lot! Accepted!

[Gurren1]

Bump

[Rhona W]

Glad you like her! I had a lot of fun creating her as a character.

I hope we get some more players soon too.

[Gurren1]

Yeah its hard for Gundam RPs to get players. Guess its not as popular like back in the day.

[Rhona W]

Lots of them seem to come and go, but I rarely see any UC ones. Lots of crossovers, but not anything UC, or even based in one universe.

[Gurren1]

Lets hope the UC fans will find this

[Rhona W]

Yeah, I'm excited to play, so I hope a few more people join so we have the chance to actually get somewhere with it.

[Gurren1]

I am starting to get worried four days and no bites on this.

[Rhona W]

Yeah, me too man. I'll pimp it in my other games to see if we get any more bites from those guys.

[Gurren1]

Thanks if by next week this doesn't get a bite I was thinking we could do a 1on1 RP on this.

[Rhona W]

Sounds good to me, I'd be happy with that.
