OK this game takes place in the gundam expanded universe of gunpla build fighters. You'll be playing a member of a team. This game uses discord to chat. The near future. Years after the huge "Gunpla"-plastic models based on the anime series Mobile Suit Gundam-boom of the 1980s. A second Gunpla boom is taking the world by storm, fueled by the revolutionary new ability to pilot your own Gunpla creations in "Gunpla Battles " Thanks to the introduction of Plavsky Particles, plastic models were able to be controlled with such precision as the animes that spawned them. While Japan is considered the birthplace of Gunpla, the rest of the world has also caught onto the craze of building and battling Gunpla. There are even schools around the world focused on it. Grand Gunpla Generation Preparatory School in New York City was one of the first schools in the United States to have a strong focus on gunpla design. It was once considered the leader of the pack and paved the way for other schools to follow. However, that was several years ago. The once prestigious institute has fallen on hard times and is currently slated to be closed down after this year. The board of education is already starting the process of redistricting the area to divide the student body around to the other schools nearby. However, there has been one vocal proponent to this action. Callie Fairchild, a former GGG Alumni and a woman said to be on par with the Lady Meijin, the best female gunpla battler in Japan. Furthermore, her little sister, Julia Fairchild, is among the last class of GGG and the leader of their school's gunpla team. Thus, the two sisters are gambling the fate of the school on their ability to form a team capable of reaching the World Championships. Please fill out this application Player Name: (This is just your Roll20 username) Character Name: (What is the name of your pilot) Gender: (Male or Female. Simple) Age: (The only age requirement is that your character is above 19 years old) Character Reason: (As the topic implies, what is your character's reason for wanting to join Callie's team? Although you came to the G-Fest Expo in LA for some reason, there is nothing forcing you to join a professional battler's team. Just because she has a wildcard slot for the National Tournament in DC doesn't mean that you will automatically win on her merits alone. Were you moved by her message to promote the school that trained her? A love for Gunplas in general? A desire to become famous yourself? A last ditch effort to get to the Nationals? The chance to to travel to Washington DC for the Nationals and maybe even Japan for the World Tournament?) Character Typecast: (Gunpla Battles are considered a team sport. If your character could pick how they support their team both in and out of the battle grid, how would they do it? Are the the trusting confidant who would supports their teammates? A leader like figure who tries to solve everyone's problems? The Greenhorn eager to learn from others and not drag the team down?) Character Bane: (No character is perfect and you are no exception. A bane is a flaw that the character faces from time to time. It can be a personality flaw like being shy around large crowds or having a short fuse. It can be preconceptions like thinking all Zaku Type gunpla are weak and stupid looking. A physical deformity would also count but it shouldn't be so severe that your character can't travel on a regular basis.) Roleplaying Details Appearance: (While I don't mind simply linking an image here, I would prefer it if you also described how your character looks as well. What is their ethnicity? How do they dress? Are there any distinguishing features about them? Do they keep to their default appearance or change it up for special events like Gunpla tournaments?) Character Quirks: (This is a place for those rare oddities about your character that don't fit the other categories. Can they recite the script to Mobile Suit Gundam word for word? Are they a coffee junkie that defies logic? Maybe it is something simpler like being a good singer or being a terrible cook? Feel free to get creative with this.) Background: (What was your character's life like up to this point. Who were their parents? What do they do? Does your character have any siblings or close relatives? For those who try to pull the "I'm an orphan" route, you still need someone to take care of you and support you even if they are not your blood relative. Even homeless children are required by law to attend school. Do they have any friends? Even if they are lone wolves, they must have some hobbies or dreams. What do they like and what do they hate? How does your character spend their free time? Did they go to normal schools or ones that specialized in Gunpla building and/or battling. What circumstances brought them to the G-Fest EXPO? Were they California residents who lived nearby or were they out of towners who either planned on going or made plans at the last minute?) Gunpla Concept: (Basically, what you plan to do for your character's starting gunpla. Since all of the gunpla in the anime series had a base from the many Gundam Series, you can say something like you have a gunpla similar to Tallgeese from Gundam Wing or Burning Gundam from G Gundam. This is just a general description that will be given stats later. If you have the time, feel free to expand upon this and stat your gunpla using the mecha system in Battle Century G. Obviously the quality stat won't be handled until an actual session but everything else is fair game.)
