Hey all, so this will be the sign-up section as well as our OOC discussion section for this Gundam RP. Thanks for checking it out.

RULES:
No God-Modding. Pretty simple, but if you have questions about a given situation, feel free to discuss with myself and/or the players you're interacting with. Along those lines, there will not be any NewType player characters, for balancing purposes, this will be for the best. Please, let's all try to stay in character. What I mean is, if you have created a hot headed character and they overhear an insult, try to react the way your character would, even if it might be detrimental to them. No killing of other PCs without first discussing it with them and them agreeing to it. I don't want to have people put in a lot of work only to have their character arbitrarily killed off. On that note, please be aware, bad things may happen to your character(s), you could get captured, interrogated and even killed (with your ok of course). My decisions will be final, so please understand that I am trying to run this RP in as fair and balanced a manner as possible, so if I make a decision that you do not fully agree with, there is a story driven reason as to why I have made that choice and not simply arbitrary rationale. Thank you for cooperating.

Posting Expectations: I will expect people to post at a minimum once per week, but if you feel like more posts are required then by all means feel free to keep going. If you do not post during a given week, please inform me via post or pm if you are intending to post. If not I will continue with a new update and your character will be NPCed until you return. I.E. If you fail to post in the middle of a battle, you could end up being shot down and captured, or worse, shot down and stranded etc.

Federation/Titans: While I have not included a specific pre-RP write up for the Titans, this does not mean that you cannot play as a Titans character if you so choose. If this is something you are interested, please send me a PM or post a msg here and we can work it out.
Gundam 0084: The Embers of Zeon Setting and Character Sign Up Sheet:

The year is Universal Century 0084, those few remaining souls who fought for Zeon independence so many years ago have managed to find their way to Axis, the massive asteroid base located beyond the remnants of Side 3. The Principality of Zeon is no more and in its wake, the Federation has grown incredibly powerful, and with that power corruption has followed. Many at Axis watched the Delaz Fleet continue the battle they all once waged in the year 0083, and while it inspired fervor and kindled fires in the hearts of some, but failed to move Axis to mobilize for outright war.

The powers at Axis, contented with the modicum of power allowed to them by the Federation simply stayed their hand while the comrades of many of those aboard Axis fought and died in the name of Spacenoid Independence. With the final phases of Operation Stardust a success, the stolen colony from Side 7 impacted North America, destroying a large portion of the Earth’s agricultural land. However, this was merely a pyrrhic victory, with much of the Delaz Fleet killed in action, among them Aiguile Delaz himself and ace pilot Anavel Gato. Those few who managed to break through the Federation’s blockade in the final battle of Operation Stardust have now found themselves at Axis.

In the aftermath of Operation Stardust, the Federation created the Titans, a radical leaning and well- funded offshoot of the Federation tasked with hunting down and eliminating Zeon “radicals” as well as their sympathizers. However, even in its early stages it has proven that it is nothing more than a biased anti-spacenoid militia despite carrying the flag of the Federation. The Titans clearly have their own agenda, but to what ends they are willing to go is unknown at this time. What is clear though is that they are aggressively hunting former Zeon members as well as constantly harrying and imposing unnecessary sanction against the colonies that were or are sympathetic to the cause of Zeon. All the while, Axis does little else but watch as its own supporters are chastised and victimized by this new task force with the promise to “return true power to Earth’s hands.”

Having grown weary of inaction and falling in line to orders of those who would not take the stand they needed to, Captain Jaryk, a former ace pilot himself has decided to take what remains of his crew and commandeer an aging and soon to be decommissioned Gwazine class ship, which lacks some more modern features such as a catapault, it does have respectable firepower as well as a mobile suit hangar that can accommodate 20 units. Captain Jaryk has enlisted the help of several Papua Class Support Craft and most importantly has convinced an old war time comrade, Commander Marius Freya to join their cause, bringing with him his Zanzibar Class Assault Cruiser and compliment of 8 mobile suits. Commander Freya’s contingent of mobile suits however are dated, consisting of 4 Rick Dom II and 4 Zaku II Kai mobile suits. However, their squad leader Lieutenant Mariya Jagen is a survivor from Operation Stardust with incredible skill as a pilot and makes them a force to be reckoned with. While this guerilla force cannot be directly supported or sanctioned by Axis, they have given silent support in the form of allowing Jaryk and his rag tag band to ‘comandeer’ the Gwazine in the first place, and while Axis may offer passive support at times, they cannot be counted on for backup or supplies.
Captain Jaryk’s contingent of mobile suits, as well as their pilots are more varied (these will be our characters) in both their capabilities, experiences and motivations for joining this cause. Some burn with patriotic virtue, others seek revenge, and some merely heed the siren call of war to sate their desire for combat.

The heroes of Zeon are either dead or biding their time to strike when it suits them best, it is now up to this rag tag band to continue the effort that so many of them embarked on seemingly eons ago in the One Year War. These are the Embers of Zeon.

(IF there is interest in RPing as the Federation/Titans, by all means, let me know and we can figure it out) No one will be allowed to be a NewType for the sake of RP balancing.

Character Sheet

Name:

Gender:

Age: (Ages for characters is set at a minimum of 18.)

Rank: (There will be two spots open for Lieutenant (squad leader effectively) aboard the Gwazine class battleship. There will be 3 (4 in total, but my PC will be an Ensign) spots open for the rank of Ensign, 2 per squad. And non-officer pilots may fill the ranks.

Appearance: (A brief description of what your character looks like. Does your character have any notable tattoos? Scars? Haircuts? Are they tall, skinny or fat? Do they look put together or a bit grubby? A paragraph or so should cover it. You may link a picture if you feel like that will help, but please do your best to describe your character and not just post a picture. Please let’s not use existing characters from the Gundam universe as our appearances.)

Personality: (What is your character like? Around a paragraph should do, but feel free to write more.)

History and Biography: (Give us a description of where your character comes from, and why they have joined Captain Jaryk’s rebellion. Did you fight in the One Year War at any point? Did you take part in the Delaz Fleet’s Operation Stardust just one year ago? Were you a child who moved to Axis with your family who were members of the Zeon military or supporters of its ideals? This section should be the longest and we should all work towards at a minimum two or three paragraphs. This is the most important part really, this is why your character has decided to go to war again, or perhaps if your character is younger, to go to war for the first time.)

Mobile Suit Sheet: We will be limited to Mobile Suits that are available up to the year 0084, also please keep in mind this is a fairly rag tag force, so there won’t be any crazy rare or powerful MS…At least not yet.

Model Number:
Code Name: (If applicable)
Manufacturer:
Accommodation: (Does your mobile suit have a newer panoramic display or the standard forward facing display found on older mobile suits?)

Fixed Armament: (Anything that is built into the mobile suit. Wrist or torso mounted weapons.)

Optional Fixed Armament: Anything that is an optional weapon, but is affixed to the mobile suit itself. I.E. Leg or shoulder mounted missile pods, panzer fausts, anything along those lines.

Optional Hand Armament(s): Anything that your mobile suit carries. Beam guns, shotguns, various rifles etc. would go here.
Mobile Suit Description: Describe your mobile suit, what colors are they painted in? The personal colors of your character? The colors of Zeon from the One Year War? Colors of a specialized squad? Is there wear and tear on your unit? Does it look like it is a newer unit that has just been rolled out?

Customization(s): What, if any customizations have been added to your mobile suit? Has it been painstakingly maintained to yield slightly higher performance? Has it had extra boosters added for increased top speed but shorter operational time? Have you had to use weapons other than those that initially came with the mobile suit (i.e. Do you have a Gelgoog that uses a heat saber because its original beam naginata was lost in combat). Please try to keep these custom modifications reasonable and something that would make sense for your mobile suit (Don't take a backpack reactor powered beam rifle with a mobile suit that is also amazing in close combat.)

Thanks, look forward to RPing with you guys,
Krym

Character Sheet

Name: Viktor Romav

Gender: Male

Age: 42 (Born 0042 UC)

Rank: Lieutenant

Appearance: Viktor stands at just under 5 feet 10 inches with an overall slender wiry frame and a faint beer belly. His hair is black but the line is receding with a widows peak pattern but is otherwise long and slicked back matching a thick black subtly upcurved handlebar mustache. He carries no tattoos or prominent scars and walks with the faintest hunch in his back.

Personality: Viktor is a patriotic man that truly embraced the Zeon ideals. It burned at him tremendously that men like him that would sacrifice everything for their fellow Spacenoid could live and die while cowards like those hiding at Axis would stand idly by and watch the battle having nothing to lose and everything to gain. That combined with the fact that throughout his entire military career he's only known retreats and suicidal missions to achieve independence making him a generally jaded soul towards everyone except for the soldiers he works directly with that he shares a kindred bond with like brothers and sisters. He still sees a younger Viktor in them and hopes that they'll carry the standard of Zeon to glory while his heart still beats.

History and Biography:
Viktor has spent the majority of his life running away. A native of space and born on a colony he found a kindred spirit in the zeon ideals especially at such a young age when the colonies declared independence in 0058 and even more so when it was obvious to an impressionable young Viktor that the Earth was trying to squelch the colonies spirit that Zeon would eventually declare war and in the closing months of 0078 enlisted in the Zeon military.

Zeon found little use for Viktor initially relegating him to auxiliary duty for the better part of the One Year War. It was only towards the second half of the war that he piloted a Zaku in battle with them being so shorthanded. Unfortunately with little skill he was quickly overwhelmed and his suit defeated. It was a painful learning experience that taught the fresh pilot the need for great speed to overcome the zaku's short comings in its armor. Having been thrown into the fray only to constantly be on the run from the Earth Federation first across the Earth itself and then back into space Viktor grew to embrace hit and run Guerrilla tactics.

During the battle of A Baoa Qu Viktor did not engage along with Vice Admiral Delaz in the wake of the death of Degwin Zabi and for several years enjoyed peace and grew to have a wife that he loved dearly. Unfortunately no level of love for a woman could alter the love of purpose that Zeon had given him and he gladly participated in Operation Stardust despite his wife's blatant threats. They were divorced before he ever set off for battle only furthering his resolve in his beliefs. He knew of Gato and fought near him but they never crossed paths directly and Viktor knew the legend rather than the man. The only thing he really took from his brief time with the Delaz fleet was the fanaticism that the Delaz carried in his heart and when he was murdered during Stardust it broke his heart. The closest address he had ever received from either Gato or Delaz was to flee at the conclusion of Operation Stardust. He was one of the few souls to break through and eventually made his way to Axis.

The lack of support infuriated him to know end to think that these pompous fools would entertain their crumbs from the Feddie table and not stand by their brothers when they died. So when it was known that a soul within Axis felt the same and was stirring to launch a campaign he embraced the only purpose he's truly known and answered the call of Zeon. He wants to honor the name of the great souls that burned to give Spacenoids their independence and to find purpose again in the stars.

Model Number: MS-18E
Code Name: Kämpfer
Manufacturer: Zeonic Corporation
Accommodation: Forward display

Fixed Armament: Two head mounted 60mm Vulcans

Optional Fixed Armament: two leg mounted Sturm Fausts

Optional Hand Armament(s):
2 x 360mm Giant Bazooka Iis
2 x ZUX-197 Jagdgewehr 192mm Shotgun
2 x thigh embedded beam sabers


Mobile Suit Description: The Kämpfer is painted a blue gray like an overcast sky which Viktor prefers as it blends in remarkably well with urban areas and night operations in general. The sixteen vernier thrusters are highlighted with an deep golden hue that matches the bright pristinely detailed Zeon symbol emblazoned on the suits chest directly above the cockpit. Viktor has made one personal touch to the suit in that he's attached a shield normally found on the Gouf mobile suits to its left arm for a slightly boosted defense.

Character Sheet

Name: Tyrius Garou

Gender: Male

Age: 23

Rank: Ensign

Appearance: Tyrius stands 6'1 and possesses a very muscular build having dedicated much of his free time to staying in great physical shape. His blonde hair is cut close on the sides, but runs long on the top and sides, cascading down to his shoulders. His typical uniform is a a midnight blue set of fatigues, with brass eppaulettes on his shoulders signifying that he is an Ensign, or at least was one in the Zeonic Navy during the One Year War.

Personality: Ensign Garou can at times be calculating, seeking to improve his own station through glory, but above all he is passionate about the goals of Zeon and Spacenoid Independence.

History and Biography: Tyrius grew up on Side 3 and seemed to take on the opinion of the populace, that the Earth no longer should be the one directing them on how to live their lives. As Side 3 began to mobilize he sought out recruiters only to be turned away due to his then young age at his first request. However, when Zeon declared war and the battles began to take their toll, Tyrius was called upon to become a student cadet. Having become a cadet during the middle of the One Year War, Tyrius did not see much in the way of combat in 0079 until the battle of Solomon, wherein he got his first taste of actual combat. In the hectic mess that was Solomon, the forces of Zeon were quickly routed and he was called upon to retreat. Though it was noted by his commanding officer that he handled himself well though he failed to shoot down a single enemy mobile suit. With their forces were sorely out numbered and they were forced to regroup at A Baoa Qu.

During this brief respite between the battles of Solomon and A Baoa Qu, Tyrius' Gelgoog was designated to be upgraded to a High Mobility type, with additional thrusters. However, due to time constraints, his Gelgoog was given additional thrusters and tuned to a higher output, however it lacked the armor plating around the calves to faciliate the extra mass of the new thrusters. It is here that his skills in the cadet academy shined through, it is noted that he managed to shoot down 7 enemy mobile suits during the hectic fighting. Again, in the waning moments of the battle he responded to a mass retreat signal, this time forced to land aboard the retreating Gwazine class ship Abyssal Fury under the command of the notable commander Captain Jaryk.

Tyrius watched the Stardust Rebellion, lead by Admiral Delaz and ace pilot Anavel Gato from Axis. The Delaz Fleet having maintained their presence within the Earth Sphere, he was both jealous and admiring of their exploits. They were viewed as true champions of Zeon in his mind, though their distance from Axis and the highly mobile tactics guaranteed that they would be impossible to reach and join from Axis.

After the Stardust Rebellion was quelled and the Earth Federation announced their new line of Zeon hunters known as the Titans brought up the same patriotic streak and sentiment in Tyrius that had burned in him only 4 years before, and now more than ever he wished that Axis would stand up and strike out at the clearly biased Earth Federation and their newly formed attack dogs. But when Axis stayed its hand, Tyrius became frustrated with his new home, though he could do little to change it, but then he heard rumor of Captain Jaryk, the same man who had given him safe passage to Axis in the first place, he too was growing restless. He sought out Jaryk and volunteered for whatever campaign he was planning.

The right shoulder is adorned with a black silhouette of A Baoa Qu with 7 hash marks in white next to it, denoting his confirmed kills at the famed battle of A Baoa Qu. The left shoulder is adorned with his call numbers '37' from his first combat squadron. The markings are painstakingly upkept by Tyrius personally to ensure that he honors his fallen comrades from that fateful battle, and effectively the end of the war.

Character Sheet

Name: Sarah Miriam

Gender: Female

Age: 28

Rank: Ensign

Appearance: Sarah is rather tall, about 6'7", with a rather lanky and thin appearance. He has dark skin and wild red hair, with a scar covered face. She often has a sullen and depressed look, and there's often a hint of sadness in her green eyes. She normally wears dark purple military fatigue, or her piloting outfit.

Personality: Sarah is a guilty person, one filled with self-loathing and self-judgement. s such, she is usually putting herself or down playing her achievements.

However, she realizes few would care to hear her, so she keeps these emotions on the inside, putting up a image of a calm, if not a bit aloof, individual, one who is serious and always calm. She is controlling of her emotions, and keeps them in check, but she isn't above having fun every once in a while. And, like her comrades, she is fueled by the want of spacenoid independence and freedom, but with less zeonic Pride than some others.

History and Biography: Sarah grew up on earth, and joined the Earth Federation army as soon as she could, as it was expected of her to do so, her family having a history of military positions. She was expecting to live as a soldier, then retire, have some kids, and that would be that. No real goals for life.

Then the One Year War begun.

She soon found herself thinking about her position, growing hesitant in battle. These people simply wanted freedom, didn't they? Sure, they committed some atrocities, the Colony Gassing and Drops being of the most well known, but her side wasn't exactly angels. She then decided to abandoned the Earth Federation. she turned turncoat and joined Zeon.

She was put under heavy watch, just in case he was simply a spy, and throughout the war she knew much distrust and dislike for her heritage. But again and again she showed she was on the spacenoid's side, cutting down Earth Federations Solders whenever she was called to, a growing pit of self-loathing growing her stomach. Her betrayal ate away at her, making her grow to hate herself.

She threw herself at battle after battle, as a punishment. She would not let herself rest, nor would she let herself grow at ease.

And then the war ended.

She had no place to go. Earth would not take her back, sh would be executed on the spot. And Axis would not welcome her, she feared. However, a friend of hers spoke for her, defended her. The friend claimed that, while Sarah was not a true ally of Zeon, she was a true ally of Spacenoid. And it worked, and that, she thought, was that.

Until Operation Stardust. The operation it self disgusted her, feeling that it would do nothing more but make it even harder for Spacenoids. And when the Titans appeared, she was dismayed to find out she was right. And Axis's lock of response only made her angrier.

So, when she heard rumors of a group within Axis willing to do something, she took the chance. She had betrayed Earth, but she would NEVER betray the Spacenoids, she realized. So she would take the chance to fight with them.


Model Number: YMS-15
Code Name: Gyan
Manufacturer: Zimmad Company
Accommodation: Upgraded Panoramic Display, single pilot only.

Fixed Armament: None
Optional Fixed Armament: None

Optional Hand Armament(s): Beam Sword, Missile shield

Mobile Suit Description: Sarah's Gyan is painted in a deep, dark purple and black, with silver highlights
Customization(s): A panoramic display, and a beam pistol, which is stored beneath the shield. Along with those, a second beam saber is stored within the shield

Hey metal zeta, glad to have you aboard. However I can't approve your character as is. She is from earth, but fights for spacenoid independence, which is ok, but her not being an adherent to "zeon doctrine" would likely have to be kept to herself. Furthermore serving with the federation and then joining zeon seems like a huge leap, it doesnt seem likely. If you want to keep that you'll need to give a specific reason, traumatic event or something that made her go to zeon.

Also, if she felt like operation stardust would do more harm than good, why would she now join a guerrilla campaign that will also draw negative attention to their cause?

Another thing to consider is 6'7" is very tall, especially for a person who is going to be crammed into a mobile suit cockpit for hours at a time. You don't need to change it, but may want to reconsider a slightly more realistic height for a pilot.
