Gundam Build Fighters: Nielsen Labs academy Ch. 1

One of the students suggested: "Well we better go get settled in." The others agreed, and the group starts heading out to find their rooms.

Later on in the day, Alex was wondering the halls, looking at his form to where he'll be staying... however, finding where he's staying wasn't easy: "Man, this place is so big, it's easy to get lost. I'm sure i was heading the right way before... but now i'm not too..." Suddenly he notices one of the room numbers. Looking at his form he sees the numbers match: "Oh here it is. I knew i find it sometime." Alex pushes the door open button, ready to settle in. As the door opens... he finds out he's not gonna be crashin' alone in the room, for someone was there... someone pretty shy when it comes to being social.

@FerriteFox Lunch isn't serving yet. Everyone's settling in.

Miles answers: "Myself and the other instructors can listen to your ideas and see how we can help out. The only rule you need to take a special note of is this... Enjoy Gunpla." Miles looks at his watch before continuing: "Alright then, we're nearly behind schedule so now its time to get you all settled in. Each of you has received a note of where your rooms will be. Take some time to settle in. Lunch will be served at about noon. After lunch, we will be opening the battle system room here for you all to enjoy in friendly battles. Dismiss!"

Name: Kasumi Arashi
Age: 15
Gender: Female

Appearance: (Description or picture allowed) She has long orange hair (shame shade as Alex's) that goes down to about her waist and wears a Cherry Blossom clip near her ear. Usually in public, she wears a sleeveless shirt in a light pink color and wears a white skirt, at a good length to run in and sneakers. But when she's gonna be involved in Gunpla Battle, she wears a Kimono, similar to Nils Nielson, but pink on the bottom part instead of light blue.

Nationality: Kyushu, Japan

Backstory: The Arashi family is one that began in Feudal times in Japan and has held onto its traditions of honor for centuries. Her home being a dojo, Kasumi had been training in Kendo since she was little. Though Kasumi respects her family's tradition and honor, she has always been interested in the culture of other nations. How she got into Gunpla and Gundam was with a little thanks to her younger brother, Kōji. Asking his older sister to bring her to a hobby shop in the town, she witness a Gunpla battle in the shop. Witnessing the beauty of the Plavsky Particles and the movements of the plastic models, she became interested. Her brother convinced that she could make a unit that could be like the family's Kendo ways.

Though she's only really new to the whole Gundam Series, it took her just two year to gain a reputation in her area with her unit, the AKM-MP02 Sakura Astray. Despite wining a recent regional tournament, having seen some videos related to past Gunpla Battle World Tournaments, she felt she needed more training if she were to be on par with the world players. Fortunately, she applied and got accepted to Nielsen Labs Summer academy.

Kasumi is very respectful to others and tries not to be involved in personal fights or struggles. She's very kind hearted and caring.

Name: Alex Taylor
Age: 14
Gender: Male

Appearance: (Description or picture allowed): Red Hair, wears a hat. Has a light color T-Shirt with a Red vest over it. Always wears Jeans and Sneakers when out. Starts Wearing Fingerless gloves after his time in the 12th Gunpla Battle Tournament. Average height for his age, so he'd be shorter than those who are older than him.

Nationality: United States of America

Backstory: Born in the West coast of America, Alex Taylor had been a fan of Gundam since he had watched his first Gundam Series, Gundam SEED. When he was 9, after watching the 7th Gunpla Battle Tournament on TV, he had wanted to become a Gunpla Fighter and Builder, but had no idea what his first model will be. However, the next year, he had lost his Mother and Father in an accident, just days after obtaining his first model kit, an AGE-1 Normal Gundam from the series Gundam AGE. He was then cared for by a family that was friends with his parents, the same family that has his closest friend (and possible Girlfriend) Jo. By his 14th birthday, without proper tools, he was able to finish constructing his own custom unit from his kit he had received from his parents, the Star AGE Gundam. Despite not being well put together like other builders, he was able to take that unit all the way to victory in the 12th Gunpla Battle Tournament. His victory my be in due to a little help from his unique 6th sense he had developed after his first ever Gunpla Battle. Though victorious in the tournament, due to many close battles, he felt that he had still much to learn, and wouldn't be well known due to the exploits of other builders and fighters like the famous Meiji Kawaguchi and Sei Iori (who weren't at the tournament (based off what i know so far) ). He accepted an inventation to Yajima Tradings summer program at Neilsen Labs hoping to learn how to become both a better builder and better fighter, and to meet many other builders and become friends and rivals, taking the Star AGE Gundam with him. He'll often write home about his time there to his friend/girlfriend (He hasn't say yet).

Other information: Seeing the modified GAT-X105 Strike Gundam custom, Sei Iori's Build Strike Gundam, Alex feels any basic unit can have a strong potential if piloted and built right, hence why he pilots a custom AGE-1 Normal. He has a soft weak spot for pretty girls, but he doesn't let this get over him if he's battling them in Gunpla Battle. Also he states that his favorite female character in the gundam series is Lacus Clyne from Gundam SEED.

oh yeah, good idea.

Gundam Build Fighters: Nielsen Labs academy Ch. 1

Miles answers Dani's questions: "All tests with the battle systems will be announced several hours before they take place, but we can't say what you'll be involved in early. Make sure you're well prepared. As for private training, there are some rooms you can access in your spare time to train alone against the battle system, but you must fill out a form."

Alex raises his hand: "I have a question... are we allowed to have snacks with us?"

The question nearly caused everyone of the class to stumble. All Alex replied with was: "What? I'm curious."

Miles answers: "Well now that you mentioned it, since there is a small town not too far here, there will be a shuttle bus available after classes to take into the town. In town there are places like a convenient store and also a hobby shop where you can get more gunpla parts if you need them. However, if you wish to go into town for emergency, please notify your instructor 1/2 an hour to one hour before your class starts. Any more questions?"

Gundam Build Fighters: Nielsen Labs academy Ch. 1

After some time, several of the instructors got back and alerted the others. One of them was a male, American in nationality: "Attention everyone. I am Instructor Miles. We're sorry for the wait, but we would like to begin the tour. We'll begin by spiting you all into 3 groups. Those on the left will go with Instructor Minako. Those on the right go with Instructor Johnson. The rest will stay with me."

The groups spit up. Though Dani, Alexsis, Rou, and Alex were together in the group with Instructor Miles.

Miles begins: "Alright everyone, if you will follow me, we will begin the tour. As you are likely aware, he main hall here is where we have our announcements and more."

The group heads down one of the halls and not far away, a door to the left opens up, revealing a big mess hall. It looked like something you would see in a future like school. Miles explains: "Here is where we have our mess hall. Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner will be served here. We make sure that there is a wide variety of meal choices for those of you who are accustomed to your country's fare."

The group moves down the hall, and soon found themselves outside, in the middle of the labs courtyard. Miles continued: "Out here is the courtyard. In your free time, you can spend it here. On the other side of the facility, you are also allowed nearby the lake. A way to calm your mind from stress if you feel that's the best way to deal with it."

After being outside, the group heads back indoors, into a new room filled with lots of work tables. It was the Gunpla workshop as Miles explained: "The courtyard is also connected to the Gunpla workshop. Though your rooms also have work tables to work at, you may also work on your models here with others. Share ideas and build off from each other to improve your own skill at Gunpla building. And once you're done..."

They move up the stairs and down another hall into another room, this one was filled with multiple Battle Systems of the latest model, some newer ones that are still under development. Miles continued: "You can use these battle systems to battle. This is where we'll hold some of your tests, and we'll also have this open for your spare time. Staff will be here to make sure the systems are working fine. Now is there any questions you may have?"
