AvaPSo I looked at adachi's profile and he has not been on since he posted this thread so the likely hood of him following through it is very slim, that said I would be willing to take over the role as GM if I am given some time to come up with a good plot.

I getcha, so it can fly, but not well, fast, high, or for any length of time that'll really help it beyond getting somewhere a little faster. It's no dogfighter, but it has a limited advantage in some situations; and is really better suited to long-range jumps than true flight.
Yeah, it will be like an assault marine from Warhammer 40k

<Snipped quote by Jinxlynx>
She looks good, and the GEAR is mostly fine, I just wanted to clarify a couple of things regarding it before I approve though. Mainly regarding the flight ability - I'm a little confused by the explanation.
<Snipped quote>
I highlighted the bit that confuses me - are you saying it can fly for 30 minutes (50 with the batteries), or that it can make longer distance/height jumps with 30/50 minutes of fuel for said jumps?
I'm okay with the longer jumps, and if the limited flight is, say, not exactly fluid (more of a baby bird than a soaring eagle, let's say xD) then it would be fine; after all - a GEAR flying is never going to be a supersonic aerial assassin. Even the Southern GEARs we encountered have limited aerial capacity.
I kind of see the idea of the Nordwing as being an experiment that tried to do something, didn't quite manage it, but was still judged to be useful enough in other ways to be adopted as a line-unit, with the flight (such as it is) being an unexpected bonus that occasionally comes in handy for particular strategies and situations.
Think of it as kinda like a Harrier, The long jumps are to save fuel but if you actually want to get it into the air it will start burning fuel faster than Austin Martin DB9. They tried to make something that can fly with a sleek design but it just did not work out how they wanted.

Character Name: Casper Sergios
Age: 23
Species: Marble Fox
Appearance: Image Link-(Imgur) standing 1.49m (4'11") and weighing 41kg (91lbs) she is much shorter than most of her comrades. Casper also has a silver stud pirceing through her tongue. (I do not have an appropriate pictures showing it.)
Personality: Casper has selfish traits with a bit of hedonistic personality mixing together, with care for friends occasionally surfacing when she wishes to give attention to certain people. Though she does so in her own special way that can make people wonder if she is being serious because of the teasing aspect of her personality.
On a deeper level she carries many insecurities that she hides behind a false bravado, she does not let this rule who she is however and only takes it as a faucet of her core personality.
Personal History: The Sergios name could be recognized because of Casper's father Karl Sergios, the man who runs and owns Zodiac arms, the weapons company responsible for more than half of Landren's military equipment. They test experimental equipment and manufacture weapons for the army.
Casper originally joined aspiring to be an aircraft pilot but was rejected because of her height, the fox was too short to fly but was just tall enough to be a GEAR pilot, that was of course after having to convince the recruitment officer that she was in fact 17 because of how short she was.
In basic it took her time to adjust, Casper was used to a pampered life living with her parents and she initially did not get along well with her sergeant and squad mates. Spending a lot of time having to pull extra chores but eventually Casper adjusted and managed to graduate basic as one of the top recruits after working her ass off to improve herself.
The hard work paid off in the end, selected to join an experimental unit of flight capable gears Casper joined a squad of aircraft pilots and ace gear pilots to use the new Nordwing model. They became part of a rapid reaction force, using the nordwing and it's ability to long jump as a fast attack squad that would cover other gear squads and infantry by flanking enemy positions.
Her time in the RRF was the first time Casper actual felt like she was part of team and she really got along with her squad mates.
Weapons and Equipment:
- Thor A1 PDW, fires 5.7 rounds in 30 round magazines, capable of several different fire modes.
- LDF Combat/Survival knife
- Pilot harness with survival kit and several ammo pouches.
- Pilot helmet with PADD connection.
- A custom PADD strapped to her arm.
Personal Theme:
Lampshades on Fire - Modest Mouse
GEAR Sheet
GEAR Name & Serial Number: AAM-10 Nordwind
Appearance: Image Link-(DeviantArt)
Role: Fast-attack/Air and ground support
Normal Loadout:
- T-83 Bolt Dual Semi Auto Cannons, 50 round Drum per cannon, Shoulder mounted. Medium range weapons with a moderate rate of fire, Fires explosive rounds tipped with shaped charges for armor penetration.
- Redox 0-02 Surpression Rifle, 300 round Drum. A rapid fire assault rifle loaded with either HE or acid laced rounds, designed to weaken and eat away at armor. Doubles as a very messy anti infantry rifle.
- Slug Rifle, Mounted on the same system as the Redox 0-02 this rifle is made for long range encounters, 10 shots per Mag, with a slow rate of fire but devastating power it is best suited for sniper combat.
- Anti Infantry machine gun, 500 round drum. Mounted atop the right forearm it uses 7.62 rounds.
- Arm Mounted Pile Driver (Right), 4 shots, A single shot weapon meant for use in close combat it is a short range hydraulic weapon that fires a 3 foot metal pole laced with acid with enough force to penetrate 8 feet of armor before being slowed down. It requires a manual reload before it can be fired again and is only effective in close range.
Other Systems & Equipment:
- Nordwing Pattern 5 Jump Jets. The integrated system that allows the Nordwind to be a flight capable GEAR, while not efficient in lifting the gear off the ground they do pack enough power to get the GEAR into the air and flying at high speed, they are more commonly used for performing long jumps making the Nordwing a very adept fast attack unit. The Thusters allow for 30 minutes of flight before putting the GEAR into reserve power.
- External UHD Battery Packs, The Nordwind has hard points for four of these, two mounted on the back of the legs and two on the integrated Jet thrusters, once spent they can be eject to reduce the weight and drag of the Gear during flight. These are a used to extent the amount of time the Nordwind can spend in the air, increasing flight time from 30 minutes to 50 minutes.
- Smoke and Chaff defense systems to aid in combating aircraft, as well as radar jamming equipment.
- Long range scanners and communications equipment to compensate for the Nordwind's fast speed, as well as night vision, thermal imaging and electronic zoom on all view ports as well as being connected to the pilot's helmet. GPS tracking systems to help locate friendly units and updated L/OS software to help with electronic warfare to prevent signal jamming.
- Heavily reinforce armor on the legs as well as heavy duty shock absorbers to allow the punishment of dropping from high altitudes when making jumps into enemy positions.
- Tear Grenade Canisters stored in the legs, they shoot out and create a cloud around the GEAR to ward off infantry and help with crowd control.
Other notes: The Nordwind is a prototype GEAR that is the solution to their weakness against aircraft, while flight time is short it gives the unit time to either get away or out maneuver a hostile aircraft. The intended use of the Nordwind was to be a support unit for Harlock squads, providing air superiority, but it was discovered that Nordwind acts much better as a fast attack unit, using the jump jets to propel itself towards the enemy after out flanking them and landing among them causing chaos, using the faster reflex time of the updated systems and close range weapons to mop up all hostiles before falling back to make another attack.

Hey I remember this, I would love to join again!
I am down for some fantasy
I like the idea, plus there would be some actual order to the RP, unlike the Game >.>
