[OOC] Mobile Suit Gundam - Those Who Correct - Crossover

[vancexentan]

It's ok I had to go to sleep anyways.

[vancexentan]

OK for anyone confused the Sundown is where the gundam OO starts out in the video. Sandrock is in the lowest most blue field while Paul starts out in the field just above it but not where the Sundown is. Angelo and Stella are at the field next to his in the center and Rondo is at the field blocking Sandrock from reaching the enemy base. Virtue, unless it abandons combat, is stuck in the enemy's base at the other side of the map from Sandrock. The 'special' areas on the map don't account for anything important in roleplay.

The ambush unit forces aren't on the map.

[Zarkun]

Two questions. One, can I use the X105 Strike? And two, if so, do I need a progressive one or will we just use the strike packages?

[vancexentan]

yeah but by most likely chance is that you'll be using the Aerial Strike for as long as you use it and then there's the progression problem. I'm already using Freedom as a mid-tier suit for Raigo which will be obtained through story while Raigo goes to Grant. So I'd recommend using a whole different set up.

Try this:

Duel (with armor)
Blu Duel Gundam
Regen Duel

I'd also not recommend being a ZAFT soldier in this as you're likely more to get shot than not being this is a crew of heavily anti-ZAFT minus Captain Jason.

[Zarkun]

Didn't plan on being ZAFT, don't worry.

[vancexentan]

Alright I just wanted to throw that out there. ZAFT will have more chances to interact with OMNI later but at this point old wounds still are deep.

[Zarkun]

What about a first gen Coordinator? Think that'll work?

[vancexentan]

I suppose but there's nothing about coordinators between generations. Do you mean a coordinator without newtype abilities or just one with advanced reflexes and no special abilities like SEED mode?

[Zarkun]

I mean first gen like Kira from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED.

[Zero Hex]

The only real difference between coordinator generations that I can recall is that the third generation was increasingly sterile but I don't think that'll matter in the roleplay. Kira being a first gen coordinator (a coordinator born from natural parents) didn't really mean jack as far as his skills went compared to other coordinators, he was special because he was created in an artificial womb rather than being an embryo that was modified then reinserted into the mother's womb.

[vancexentan]

With the promise that you don't turn him into the 'ultimate coordinator' that Kira Yamato, Kira being an otherwise lack luster pilot at best if not for his abilities, is then go ahead. I'd personally say make him more in the image of Athrun than Kira as most generally agree that Kira isn't that great of a character.

Edit: Zero explains it better than I could.

[Zero Hex]

There's precedent for failed Ultimate Coordinator prototypes, Kira's dad apparently went through a number of experiments before perfecting the artificial womb used to create Jesus Yamato. Canonically, only Canard Pars survived into adulthood and his abilities, while superior to baseline coordinators, were still inferior to Kira. But hey, it's doable, we already have two Innovades and a Newtype Coordinator.

[Zarkun]

Didn't know Kira was an Ultimate Coordinator. Nah, I was just going to go with a First Gen coordinator who was enlisted with the...equivalent of the EA I guess. I'll definitely base it more on Athrun though. Kira was...yeah, he was really lame. Easily manipulated too.

[vancexentan]

I'd prefer not to get another person like Paul in the roleplay. One of the main reasons I made him the way he was is to make sure to have a character who can use a deus ex machina, if needed, to pull us out of dangerous situation if the other pilots weren't capable of doing so. The other reason is to contrast him to his rival later whom is a completely normal human whom gets off on simply being that talented normally as contrast to Paul's given skills. Originally Paul was simply an oldtype pilot in a gundam wing era suit, Tallgeese and Shenlong's units alike, before being an Innovade, at which I decided that would make the story a bit complicated as he was basically Neutral-good Ribbons Almark, and then into as he is now with Jason Hiyan being added into even him out later.

Edit: But yeah Athrun's deal is him being able to beat people down with just his enhanced abilities. Like a more humanized version of Deathstroke or Slade Wilson as some know him.

[Zero Hex]

skill>genetic type

[vancexentan]

I very much agree. Judau might not though being strong enough to literally pull together ZZ with his mind. Then again he was what eighty in Victory when he still fought off Zanscare with a crippled junker ZZ.

[Zero Hex]

alright, there you go

[vancexentan]

Pretty good first post. I suppose you can work in how you found the signal and what not after getting on the Sundown and before we time skip to the third chapter.

[Zero Hex]

By "work in how you found the signal", do you mean writing out some manner of intro about how exactly he ran into it in his universe? I could but I feel it'd just wind up being an overlong post that cuts the flow of the current events. Leo doing some short exposition on it to the crew if it comes up feels like a better idea. Especially since it's not much of a story, he was sent to scout a signal coming from an empty part of space, blacked out and woke up wherever he is right now. That's about how he'd tell it as well.

[vancexentan]

Yes that's what I meant by it. If you'd prefer to do it shorter I'll let you exposit it to Jason and Paul after the battle if that's what you intend on doing. I was planning on having you do that just before the time skip in a sort of 'Yeah to think that one event got me here." sort of thing but whatever I'm open to doing it that way you want to do it.
