Mobile Suit Gundam: The Zeon Front (Interest check thread)

[Mac84]

Synopsis:

The Year is Universal Century 0079. The Group of colonies furthest from the Earth, Side 3, have declared their independence. Calling themselves the "Principality of Zeon". They wage a bloody war with the Earth Federation for their independence. The Atrocities committed in the name of Freedom saw both side lose half their respective populations. After 6 months of fierce fighting, Both sides have come to a stalemate.

During this war, Many have stepped up to answer the Call of Duty. To fight and shed blood for their Ideals. All gave some, some gave all. Some of their names shall be remembered, most will not.

Setting:
Central Europe, Around August, September 0079

This is a Freeform story set during the One Year War on the European Continent.

This is a group Freeform Rp that takes place from the Zeon Perspective.

This isn't a story where one side, or the other is represented in a "Bad Guy" Role. This is more a story of the soldiers, and MS pilots on both sides of the conflict.

The emphasis will be upon "Regular" forces. Meaning Gundams, Newtypes, Super Soldiers, and Super Aces will not be allowed. Players will be working in squads, and will need to work as a team to overcome obstacles combat the enemy. All suits will be Production. Though as the game progresses, Players would be allowed to make "Battlefield Modifications" to their suits as well as Suit upgrades being available.

Squads will be of three MSs, and a Support Truck that carries extra Ammunition/supplies (Depending on weapons load out)

This is to see who all is actually interested in doing a Gundam game base on Production suits.

I volunteer as tribute! :)

[pendarious]

I'm in

[Sessha]

 I guess this will make the third outing for Lieutenant Makoto Takai.

[Mac84]

after some consideration, I think I'll make it where all the players are playing one side, and the GM will control the baddies.

[ShadowFox89]

 So something in the style of 8th MS? I'm in. Was actually thinkimg of running a mecha game of my own, though system based.

[Mac84]

Yeah, 08th MS team was my favorite Gundam series. I am looking for a system to use.

[ShadowFox89]

 I was thinking of Savage Worlds Deluxe + Science Fiction companion.

[pendarious]

I've said before I'm not a fan of systems especially ones i've never heard of....too much reading and strain on my eyes.....

[Mac84]

The story, as I think about it, Will revolve around one Squad of Mobile suits (Three Suits, and a support/Sonar Truck) Depending on the number of interested parties for players. I will open for secondary squad.

The base would have the typical retreats:

Barracks: Where players would sleep
Club: Where they drink, and Hang out
Berths: Where the MS are stored.


Briefings on missions will be sent to the "Squad Leader"(s) via PM for them to disseminate to their squad.

There will be different types of Missions from "Hunt, and Destroy", To Escort, to Guard point "A". And not all Missions will have combat in order to, hopefully, simulate a Typical tour of Duty.

The Side the players will be on be the Zeon side utilitzing MS-06J Zaku II mobile suits.

Room for more/still active?

[Mac84]

yes. If you want please PM me your Pilot's profile.

Please be mindful that we're playing Zeon. :p

[Florence]

yes. If you want please PM me your Pilot's profile.

Please be mindful that we're playing Zeon. :p

Sieg Zeon!

[Florence]

What do you mean by "race" btw, since there's no playable newtypes or anything.

Like... ethnicity, or should I just put "human"? xD

[Mac84]

Yeah, Ethnicity.

Also, you're right, no Newtypes. I personally find them a cheap cop out explanation as to why a Teenage boy with absolutely no Combat Training/experience can take a brand new Mobile Suit that he only just sat in at that moment, and somehow take on to fully experienced Veterans . And later be able to keep a super ace at bay. 

[summoner2183]

Interested in this... definitely.

[Mac84]

Glad to hear you're interested. Please PM me your character Sheet for approval.

[summoner2183]

What ranks are there? For the non squad leaders?

[Mac84]

Private for Base Rank
Corporal for Second Rank
Warrant officer (Basically Sargent)
Chief warrant Officer (Second in command)

[Silk]

The interest is there if you'll have me

[Mac84]

we would love to have you silk. Please PM me your Character sheet for approval.

[Sessha]

 I think I'm going to go ahead and pull out. While there are some good characters on the Zeon side on the whole I find them unlikable and the Zeon aesthetic doesn't agree with me.
