Introduction
That’s right, here it is, a Gundam RP! Having found a stunning lack of such on this site an endeavor to correct such is now being under taken. Are you up for the challenge.
The Story:
The year was 2015 and a global effort to solve the suddenly apparent energy crisis has begun, four sites have been chosen by both nations and private organizations to be the anchor zones of the new age construction of humanities first real attempts at a Space Elevator system. These four sites all lie on the equator and while three of them were funded by the powerful nations of the world the fourth and first was constructed by a private company known as the Jupitris Corporation. As the world suddenly gets its first taste of near infinite power and resources the global shift that was to come was only augmented by the development of the world’s first mechanized suit designed to aid in construction and military heavy lifting.
That was 85 years ago, and now at the turn of the Twenty Second Century those two technologies have shaped the world as humanity knows it. First the Elevators began to soar into the sky, originally tiny strands designed to ferry light loads for satellites they have evolved into colossal spires reaching into the sky that can transport cargo, people, and energy from the new frontier of space to the planet below and vice versa.
The once simple mechanized suits used to help a single man perform the duties of three and carry loads far beyond physical limitations have evolved as well, both into a new means of civilian engineering that have permitted humanity to craft massive colonies in the frozen reaches of space, and into the route that those who built them feared. Into a new form of weaponry so terrifying that it shook the world to its very core. The Mobile Suit
It’s now been 25 years since the last war, caused by a terrorist attack that was responsible for the death of over 50 million people. The events that followed brought about a war between the now expanded USA and the newly joined forces of China and Russia with the EU caught in the middle and split. Eventually the war ended by not before the entire northern half of the Korean peninsula was reduced to ash and both New York and most of the West Coast had been raised to the ground. Add that to the wide spread burning of most of the world’s remaining fossil fuels and the emergence of a united Middle East destroying what was once Israel and capturing the Jupirtis Tower the world returned to a very shaky peace.
However the Jupitris Corporation was not left empty handed, in the war they lost their elevator, however the company had funded and created nearly 60% of the newly developed Space Colonies. 10 years ago these colonies seceded from the weakened governments that laided claim to the man the company that had founded the new world now founded a new nation whose entire entity was bound in space colonies and the Moon. Naming itself the Jupitris Alliance these Colonies began to use their advanced minds to develop new Mobile Suits to ensure their survival against a world of now hostile nations. Ten years, and the nations below have been slowly rebuilding after the war to have the strength to take back their new lands crafted in the heavens.
The World is cracked and scarred; now all that remains to be seen is when the fragile peace will shatter, and which nation will strike first?
Factions:
The Western Union of Free Nations: Basically a group of unified natiosn made up of the former Nato aliance and the majority of the Western Hemisphere with Two Elevators under their control. This union is the most powerful in terms of economy and boasts a massive population with highly advanced technologies. While their Mobile suits arent as advanced as those of the Jupitris Alliance the Union (as they prefer being called) has the most systemized force. This means that while they dont have the most advanced suits their suits are evenly distributed in that all their suits are mostly cuttign edge for their nation due to regular updates and upgrades done to the entire force.
The Neo Pacific Agreement: with its foundations based in the nation of China and a population nearly oen and a half times the size of the rest of the world combined the NPA had a great deal of military might. That said they only control one Orbital Elevator and half the number of colonies as the Union. The Nations machines are by far the least advanced of the superpowers and in truth most of their force concists of tanks and aircraft that are designed to defeat suits. The NPA's standard unit is called a Mobile Gun and is really much less a suit and more just a big cannon and additional weapons on legs. They get the job done however as these units outnumber mobile suits in a typical numbering of aroudn 2 to oen to 3 to one given the battle.
The Jupitris Alliance: Founded by Desmond R. Ris in 2015 this company was the forfront of Orbital Elevator Technology and possesed the first elevator ever completed. This company then delved into space head first and built the first to latest generatino of SpaceColonies. But when the Union Seized the companies tower and tried to enforce military rule on the colonies. This, as you can imagine, didn't go over well with the company and it's people (the people of the colonies actually prefered the company to the government... maybe because it was a cooperative) and thanks to all the brightest minds in the world living on the Jupitris Colonies (PLANT style colonies) the company became a nation and forced the Union out as well as takign several NPA colonies and created the Jupitris Alliance. This nation is the most advanced and arguably the most powerful of the three right now due to the disasters o nthe surface over the pst century. But it lacks an Elevator, and the population to face a united world on its own. But perhaps a new generation of Mobile Suits will aid in takign it back.
There will be no GUNDAMs at the begining, you can have any standard unit from any show (SEED and 00 prefered) Gundams can come Later. Also, when we get Gundams they will be first generations, in otherwords if you are using Freedom (you wont be, that's mine!) you use either the strike or the first freedom, not the strike freedom, got it? Good, enjoy!
Also, please chek the Gundam Wiki if you don't know much aobut the show, its not needed but it'll help, promise: http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/The_Gundam_Wiki

The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 1 authors
Setting
0.00 INK
Asajj Vunari did not, as a rule, make a habit of visiting the Jupitris Space Colonies in person. And yet, that was where the bounty hunter found herself--in the military headquarters of the Jupitris Alliance, negotiating her pay with some corporate bigwig in the Alliance. Every six months or so, the mercenaries the Alliance had hired were contacted in order to renew the contract for another period of time. Asajj didn't see the point; what mercenary in their right mind would turn this job down? With the credits the Alliance was offering, and the ease of the job--it was essentially just scheduled patrolling--this was easy money, a lot easier and a lot more lucrative than anything Asajj had encountered as a bounty hunter--and being one of the best in the business, Asajj had seen some damn hefty paychecks rolling her way. It was as simple as piloting the Hecate around the colony for a bit, listening to music and keeping to a cruising speed while the credits poured in. Wasn't as though she had anything better to do that paid better money.
Asajj strode down the hall of the academy wing of the facility--it was on the way to the hanger where her ship and mobile suit awaited her. All the way there, she was receiving stares from passersby, whether ROTC trainees or fully trained pilots, or otherwise--some were stares of curiosity at her appearance, which did attract a measure of attention. Not her attire of her tight, sleeveless black shirt, leather pants, and boots--that was typical fare for a bounty hunter. It was probably her shaved, tattooed head, or the amalgamation of scars and tattoos that ran up her well-muscled, lean arms that was attracting attention. Others were glares of distrust and dislike. Bounty hunters were not well liked throughout the solar system--in point of fact, they were considered amoral, emotionless killers, loyal to nothing but the highest paying paycheck, willing to turn their deadly talents of hunting on their own employer if offered enough money to do so. Well, Asajj could and would not argue against that. This was a rough world, one where you had to do what you had to do to survive and keep yourself going. Bounty hunters had chosen their lot in life: they put their often fearsome skills of piloting to doing the dirty, bloody things their employers couldn't do, or didn't have the balls to do themselves. And the pay could be astonishingly high if you made a reputation of being good at it. So most bounty hunters and mercenaries didn't give a damn if people feared, admired, or abhorred them. When you went into that business, you were essentially giving up any chance of permanent friends, family, or associates. Bounty hunters operated solo: partnerships were very brief and, just as often, ended in betrayal.
Asajj removed the cigarette that had rested between her thin, dark lips, blowing out a steady stream of smoke that dissipated into the artificial atmosphere of the colony. Headphones buried in her ears blared music--ancient music by this time. Some hundred years ago, metal and punk had been...well, not popular, but people listened to them. Nowadays, such music was seen as 'barbaric' and 'noise', reminders of a primitive, bleak past--or at least, today's governments played it out that way. But in 2060s Georgia, back on Earth, where Asajj had spent a childhood she refused to consciously remember now, music like rock and metal remained popular amongst the gangs and crime syndicates she had grown up with, and therefore even when she had left Earth she took that music with her. Encountering the contemporary music that, in the more prosperous areas of the world, people enjoyed, Asajj found it too soft and weak. Metal's vicious, abrasive vocals, distorted guitars, and high-speed blast beats appealed to her on a different level.
A metalhead in space, what a kick, she mused sardonically to herself as she proceeded towards the hangar, absent-mindedly observing the ROTC trainees in action. The Jupitris Alliance had some of the best technology and mobile suits, and they were hiring the best mercenaries and bounty hunters in the system as a buffer force, but the key was in their pilots. Both the WUFN and the NPA had pilots who had been fighting for nearly all their lives--pilots who lived and breathed war. Not to mention the NPA could probably field an army twice as large as the Alliance's entire military in a few hours, and the WUFN's vast combat network system meant it could make constant precision strikes at critical Jupitris defences--Asajj knew this first hand. Could Jupitris's technology hold up if its pilots went up against either the WUFN or the NPA?
Pointless speculation. Neither the WUFN nor the NPA was making a move--not for twenty five years had they acted against the Jupitris Alliance, though tensions were high. There was no reason to think that they would actually wait for the Jupitris Alliance to amass their mobile suits and trainees into an effective fighting force before making an invasion. If they hadn't attacked when the opportunity was right...why would they do so now?

Re: [OOC] Mobile Suit Gundam: Unsung World
Alright then, I've made the first post. Sorry it took me a while. :v
Re: [OOC] Mobile Suit Gundam: Unsung World
Submitted my character, hope it works out. I'm really looking forward to seeing this one take off the ground, I tried to do one myself I think earlier this year and unforutnatley couldn't get it anywhere. If I can make any changes though, I'd be okay with doing so.
Re: [OOC] Mobile Suit Gundam: Unsung World
sorry everyone for the hiatus but the RP is back on, you ca ngo ahead and post if oyu want like where you are right now or a backstory segment but i think that its not till after christmas that the site will get back to full strength, until then though we can tryto play with what we have
Re: [OOC] Mobile Suit Gundam: Unsung World
Lol, that's okay ichimura, you cant send the myet anyway, you have to be more active before oyu can send PM's it prevents Spammers from, well spamming.
Re: [OOC] Mobile Suit Gundam: Unsung World
We'll join, after our finals are done! I'm still trying to get used to this site... It's hard to navigate at first; I don't know how to sent PMs as of yet. Hahaha.
Re: [OOC] Mobile Suit Gundam: Unsung World
I'm definitely in. As far as Gundam I've only ever seen Eighth MS Team and Zeta Gundam, but mechs in general I can definitely go with.
I'll have a character in soon.
edit - Character's in. Hopefully, it's acceptable.
