Mobile Suit Gundam: Side Story 0081: The Flames of War

It would be one of the worst wars fought not only on the planet Earth, but also in space. After the close of the One Year War, the Earth Federal Forces began seizing former Principality of Zeon research and production facilities. A year later, the victors of the war continue to take these facilities. It is now Febuary of Universal Century 0081 and the Federal Forces has dispatched Captain Mowen Howzer's Salamis Class vessel, Florencedale, to a remote mining facility on a relativly small asteroid that has been recently discovered. His orders are to collect any mobile suits and data from this area and return to Jaburo as soon as possible.

Stationed on board are three mobile suit pilots, who have heard rumors of possible Zeon Remnants in the area. Unfortunatly, for them they do not know what might await them.

Zeon Remnants:
This is being pretty much left up to Karaudu, so if you want in on this you'll ave to get in touch with him. They do have a Musai class ship, and probably will be mostly just pilots, but that's up to him.

Oh and here's a little preview of the unfinished new Zeon unit for this RP:

Name: Ethan Teir
Age: 20
Rank: Leutenant
Job: Mobile Suit Pilot
Physical Description: 5ft 11inches, 175lbs, toned muscular body, long wavy brown hair, oval shaped face.
Personality Description: Having fought through several of the key battles during the One Year War, in both space and on Earth, Ethan is battled hardened. Because of this, he has a cynical and stand offish attitude. It is believed that he might possibly have newtype intuition, and because of this he has been put in command of the newly formed Orion Star Mobile Suit team stationed aboard the Florencedale.

Name: Cody Morgan

Height: 6'0"

Weight: 179

Build: Though skinny, still has the well toned build brought upon by military training.

Hair Color/Length: Black, About 2 1/2 inches, and Spiked

Rank: Ensign

Position: Mobile Suit Pilot

History/ Personality: Joined the Federal Space Forces in the first month following the war. Cody went through normal military pilot training, and was then commended for his marksmanship with large type cannon-type weaponry. Cody was put through special training to pilot long-range support type MS. Cody Morgan is usually easy going, and rarely takes his job seriously, usually seeking the most dangerous solution to any situation, but is nonetheless very trustworthy. He has exhibited no signs of being a Newtype, though anything is possible.

OOC: Hmm...Intersting MS. Kaempfer head and arms, Alex Beam Rifle, Leo legs, Gelgoog Marine shield, Zaku R-2 leg verniers...I don't recognize the torso or the waist thrusters. What is this MS's specialty?

I'd like to be a Guncannon pilot..if possible.

Think Kaempfer but meant for space use, technically they're tallgeese 3 legs, and the torso and thrusters are from the Mercurius. I put it together in about 15 minutes. The beam rifle was stolen from the Federation.

Name: Fujii Griffon
Age: 20
Rank: Captain
Job: Mobile Suit Squad Commander
Physical Description: 5ft 11inches, 130lbs, Toned muscular body, Short straight white hair, saphire blue eyes. Red Zeon Uniform.
Personality Description: Doesn't speak much on the battlefield beyond orders, known as the Silent Reaper because of his quiet and calm battle tactics. It's unknown as to why he fights for the failing Zeon forces and how he came up in rank to Captain at such a young age.

Name : Dmitri Valchenkov, (D for short)

Age : 23

Rank : Ensign

Job : Communications Officer aboard the Florencedale

Physical Description : 6'2", short black hair, dark brown eyes, regular build for his height, a long scar running from the middle of his forehead to the bottom of his nose on the right side of his face.

Personality Description : An ex-drill instructor for the academy this quiet soldier joined the Florencedale the first possible moment. He believes steadily in following orders and will stand steadfast for his cause. D believes treason should be punishable by death.

-> Thanks Kiyoshi, I don't know much about this, so I'm just sort of winging it

Little notes...

There is no Private rank in the Federal Forces, they typically use navy rank (though there have been translation errors in the past).

Navy Ranks: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/US_Navy_of ... k_insignia

Also there are no black Federal Forces Uniforms, until the Titans are established in 0083.
