Got my new sci-fi mecha RP up. Put a lot of work into the background of this one, and wrote out a whole setting

Cambozola is definitely A-Tier. It combines all the best parts of Brie with Blue Cheese, what's not to like.

Guess the mecha RP idea wasn't as popular or as interesting as I hoped it might be. Not much in the way of bites on that one so far, sadly

Bio

I've been roleplaying in one form or another since the late '90's. I've played as many tabletop games as I have online ones, and the quality of both has varied wildly.
I have an active imagination, and I love immersive, descriptive roleplaying. My genres of choice are sci-fi, and modern-day (with a sci-fi twist). I like RP's that mix reality with fiction, and throw an unusual and exciting twist into an otherwise normal setting - something like Stargate SG-1 would be an example, or Battle: Los Angeles. An almost recognizable world, but with some sci-fi twists.
I'm a fan of military and action-based RP's that do this especially, and they are easily my favourite - though I rarely see any that appeal to me enough - all the military RP's are too 'plain', and anything else modern day is usually fantasy or fandom.
I have a lot of fandoms, but I don't really like fandom RP's - or at least, the ones that come up. I often find them a bit lacking in ideas, or too far away from what actually makes the thing I'm a fan of enjoyable.

I don't play in free, as I find the short posts and bad spelling and grammar infuriating.

I'm 43 years old, and live in the UK, so I may not be on all the time.
I also like playing non-human characters, especially anthro ones. I dig giant robots, and I love military aircraft. I'm also a very dedicated and proud Brony and furry.

Nickname: The Black Thorn
Age: 36
Gender: Female
Social Status: Spacenoid
Appearance:
Callie is shorter than average; around 5' 2". She has honey-coloured skin, and dark, deep brown eyes and short, auburn hair that she keeps shaved to short stubble on one side, with the other grown out. She has both ears pierced in multiple places, as well as a single labret piercing of her lower lip, along with the tattoo of a black rose on the right side of her throat. She is quite thickly-built, with a large waist, hips and bosom, but is nonetheless physically fit and able, and manages to pull off a rather striking and individual look.

  • Brave
  • Self-Confident
  • Loyal
  • Caring

  • Stubborn
  • Short-tempered
  • Vindictive
  • Cocky
  • Overconfident

Short history/personality blurb:
Callie was born in 0063 at the Side 4 colony cluster. Too young to serve in the One Year War, she signed up for service with the Earth Federation Forces. She became a mobile suit pilot, and served dutifully, before gaining experience in combat during Operation Stardust against the Delaz Fleet. Claiming her first kills in combat, the speed and flexibility she showed in the battle marked her for distinction.
As the Titans rose to prominence, Callie found the increasing authoritarian and strict nature and policies of the organisation she served becoming alien, and more and more of the officers and comrades she loved and respected being replaced by cruel, greedy, and self-serving individuals, who abused their positions of authority. On the cusp of rebelling as it was, along with many of her squad-mates, the exposing of the Titans nature and actions lead to her unit rebelling, under her lead and command.

Her later actions in the first Neo Zeon war lead to her promotion to a rank of more responsibility. She also resolved merits for service and recognition for her actions using her space-modified Zeta Plus C1.
She was injured during the closing days of the war, and her recovery was difficult. To recover from her injuries fully, she had to spend several months healing outside of a Mobile Suit cockpit, and was instead restricted to light duties.
Following this she later returned to normal duty, albeit with a slow transition back into a combat role. She was given command of a patrol section as part of a squadron deployed to patrol federation space, and provide general security duties. They rotated between Earth and Space during this time, giving Callie vital experience in operations inside the gravity well.

During the Second Neo Zeon war, she earned her reputation and a command promotion during actions against the Neo Zeon under Char Aznable. Her Zeta Plus once again distinguished itself, and she gained her nickname and recognition, Gaining the name 'Black Thorn', she leaned into the name and had her suit custom painted black-and-purple.
Too far away to assist Amuro Ray with repelling the plunging Axis asteroid, she and her unit instead put their energies toward assisting suits caught in Earth's gravity and hauling them to safety, while also holding off and destroying last-ditch fanatical elements.

After this incident, her unit were placed on second-line duties to recover from injuries, losses, and damage, mainly carrying out guard and garrison duties, as well as routine operations and training. Down on manpower and mobile suits, they were glad for the break, and rotated between Luna and several sides, before being temporarily stood down in order to be re-equipped with new mobile suits and pilots.

Her unit were rapidly recalled during the Laplace incident, intended to be re-equipped and put into action to counter the actions of the Sleeves. The incident was mostly over before they could respond, but they were involved in mopping up Sleeves remnants using their new mobile suits - including Callie's newly repainted and removed from storage S-Gundam.
Following this crisis, Callie was tapped for leading the Anthem task forces' mobile suit squadron in the field, alongside other members picked for the unit due to their experience and skill.
@Silverwind BladeAs an avid Gundam fan as well as Macross/Robotech, Space Gundam V is easily one of the most fun bootleg shenaniganry things I've had the pleasure of seeing.


I have never had the pleasure(?) of seeing it myself, but being a huge fan of Macross/Robotech (probably more than I am of Gundam), I have come across it's mention numerous times, and it's pretty infamous, as you say
Ahh, that's cool! I love bits of trivia like that, and it's a neat little in-joke too.
I'm going to have to find some ways to work in a few references myself, not least of which dropping the name Space Gundam V in somehow.

Time to get to work on my character and start working out where to start the game too. I won't start anything until we have more characters up, of course.
A bit different than your sheet but it should contain everything that was in yours.

[snip]


He looks fine to me, he'll fit in nicely with the storyline and the setting with no issues, and the sheet says all it needs to as far as the game goes. I also love the choice of mobile suit too, you hit exactly the kind of idea I was going for with that (plus it's just a gorgeous machine!).
Feel free to put him into the characters tab :)

The topic is up for the game!
Feel free to read over what's there, ask any questions if need be, and get to work on your characters.
I'll probably create a GM PC for myself as well.

See you all there!
Character Sheet:

Please delete anything already in the sheet other than the headings.
You can post your sheet in this tab when it is ready for approval, and leave a post in the OOC mentioning it, and then edit your original post (if needed!)

Age:

Mobile Suit: (link to the Gundam Wiki page for your suit, you can find a list here)

Short history/personality blurb:
A paragraph or two just generally describing their personal history - parents, siblings, defining events - and their outlook on life and how they interact with others, as well as a few personal quirks or qualities, like their interests or hobbies and the like.
Well, it's taken me a bit less time to put the thread together than I expected - the joys of doing an RP in an existing setting I guess, you can just use links instead of writing out pages of lore and background - so it should be up shortly. I'll post a link in here when it's up and ready :)
MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM:
A N T H E M




Universal Century: 0099


Following the Laplace Box incident and the loss of life it caused, the Earth Federation were concerned by the amount of Zeon remnant forces and the extent of their firepower, resources, and supplies. Fearful of another conflict leading to even greater loss of life after numerous incidents over the last twenty years, and the loss of manpower, materiel and resources of their own, the upper echelons of the Earth Federation Forces were desparate to avoid more incidents.
Investigation and intelligence gathering following the defeat of the Sleeves and associated Zeon forces from the Laplace incident and related actions in UC 0096 lead to the revelation that a number of Zeon remnant forces commanded by a Neo-Zeon rear admiral were at large in the asteroid belt, going under the name of 'Rebirth Zeon', and carrying out attacks on Asteroid Mining colonies and facilities, using overwhelming firepower and an array of mobile weapons.
Determined to cut off this new faction before they could gain enough power to threaten Earth once more with destructive or devastating attacks like those of the previous decades, and with the impending second century of the Universal Era, the Earth Federation Forces formed a new task force named Anthem to carry out Operation Last Gleaming, the hunting down and destruction and or disarmament and surrender of Rebirth Zeon.

Anthem's forces are comprised of experimental, prototype, limited production and high-performance Mobile Suits pulled from storage, mothballs, or otherwise unused roles and places in order to give a heavy dose of firepower to the Task Force, headed for the asteroid belt.
Limited by their ability to re-supply and re-arm, the Task Force aboard the Pegasus-class ship 'Shadowfax' are deployed to the Asteroid belt to hunt down the growing forces of Rebirth Zeon, before they can mount an attack against Earth or its' colonies, or hold the Asteroid belts to ransom.

Game Details:

This is a Mobile Suit Gundam RPG set in the Universal Century Timeline. It follows primarily the anime continuity and events, with minimal inclusion of secondary material from manga, video games, etc. The game is set in Universal Century 0099, and will ignore all other events after that point, allowing it to become an alternate universe/setting. It will also involve alternate events concurrently or leading up to the events of the game, allowing the players and the GM to exhibit freedom with their actions and the plot as it progresses.
Technical details will follow the general basis of the Universal Century and Gundam as a whole; i.e. remaining relatively realistic and within its' own limitations, but not lingering too much on technical details in favour of character drama, plot, story and action.
Canon characters are not allowed as player characters, and they will not be featured to any great extent, most likely restricted only to cameos. The plot will instead follow a group of mobile suit pilots as part of a task force, deployed with experimental or otherwise powerful mobile suits to hunt down Zeon remnant forces in a thrilling and exciting adventure, where they get to be big damn heroes and face down some danger and evil.





Hello everyone, just an FYI; I'm currently putting together the details for the actual thread. Just crunching the details to try and make things specific-but-not-too-much. It's taken me a bit longer than I hoped for one reason or another, but it should be up in the next day or so. Just wanted to touch base with people and let you know it's still going ahead, and that I haven't lost interest or buggered off and left you all in the lurch.
Can always skip some time, tbh I wasn't really planning anything eventful for the flight anyway, so a few hours skipped ahead is fine
