Looking to do a Game in the World of Gundam Build Divers. A VRMMORPG (LGBTQ frie

[Gardsorm]

Wow, I wasn't expecting more folks to show up, but pleasant surprises are always the good ones!

Also, two MILFs going head to head? Whoever wins, everyone is a winner, I feel.  But welcome to the game, people old and new. ^^

Name:: Alice Reed

Alias Mirage

Age: 21

Home Server North America Server 1 Sector 2.

GBN Avatar: This is how your character looks in the game. You're unlimited to how they appear, but again Elliquiy Rules apply.

Force Affiliations: Independent

Favorite Series: For Alice the oldies will always be her favorties. Pretty much anything between 0079 to Char's Counter-Attack is pure solid gold in her mind. Though she has a soft spot for the design of the RX-78GP03S Gundam "Dendrobium Stamen". Though she always felt the gundam could be optimized for use as a stealth machine.

Favorite Play Style:  PVE, Story Mission, Special Mission, Time Trial Ect.

Least Favorite: PVP

Fighting style: Mirage is a close in stealth fighter, prefering to sneak behind enemy lines and then let loose with her gundam's various close in weapons from her shotgun, beam machine gun and her wrist mounted auto cannons.

Rank: Rank is determined by how well you do in PVP battles.

Mobile Suit: GP03 Dendrobium Stamen Shadow

Weaponry: ZUX-197 Jagdgewehr 192mm Shotgun, Beam Machine Gun, Duel 90mm Wrist Mounted Gatling Guns, Beam Saber, mirage cloak..

Personality: She's mostly all business and likes to get things done. She's a bit on the competitive side, but not to the point of detriment. Though one need only look at the adorable robo Fido vanity pet that tags along behind her to see the inner workings of her dere side of things.

Background:If you want to give a bit off background to your character:

Name:: Tsukiko Shiromichi

Alias Raya d'Argenta

Age: 28

Home Server Japan - Kyushu Server

In Game Persona:  Raya d'Argenta is a platinum blonde woman with a silver mask, pictured above.  She typically wears crisp finery and military dress uniforms.  The exception comes in her celebretatory moods, in which she wears full Venetian Carnival Attire, complete with ornate masks, strings of pearls and exaggerated dresses. 

Force Affiliations: Reclaimed Heralds of Phobos and Diemos - Tsukiko and a few other friends created this merry fighting squad together.  It was loosely based on a Zeon Alligned Fighting Chapter from a fan-fiction, known as the Phobos and Diemos Squad.  There are alot of stories.  For Tsukiko, she loves the idea of being associated with the moons of Mars and the gods of Fear and Terror that they're named for.

Favorite Series: Her first and favorite Gundam Series is Gundam Wing.  She won't lie: all the boys in it were very pretty.  But the storytelling, or rather the contradictions, are what hooked her.  Pacifists drawn to battle while warlords fight for peace.  Humans that act like machines attacking Mobile Dolls that make war inhuman.  The failed teachings from generation to generation, and the insanity of a warrior's loyalty and respect.  She found it beautiful.  She's seen a couple other series, but she always comes back to Wing at the end of the day.

Prefered Play Style: In Order from favorite to least favorite: PVP, Story Mission, Special Mission, PVE, Time Trial.  Tsukiko is in it for the story, but let's face it the writers aren't always brilliant.  And so she prefers to make her own stories using PVP.  She still plays Story Missions and gets fun out of them, and loves the ocassional Special Mission.  PVE begins to bore her, as she's not in it for the grinding.  Time Trials just suck.  She's bad at them for one thing.  But mostly it's because she's not getting anything out of the stress of a time trial.  Why does she need to hurry when the only point of doing so is to set a record or win a race?  It's not just boring, it's annoying.

Fighting style: She's[ a midrange fighter.  For her, war is a story.  And that means combat needs to be a headgame.  She prefers varied, high-agility combat.  That means never staying in one place or using one strategy for long.  She's known for her ability to slip around enemy fire in mid-range, weaving into close range to do serious damage and weaving back out to harry them before they can stop her.  The advantage is that it keeps the enemy off balance and distracted.  Her weakness, however, is that she's more interested in titulating combat than in winning, and sometimes forgets to finish the fight quickly.

Rank: C.  She's currently the 3rd Highest Ranked PVPer in her force.  She's actually 1st ranked in her force for Space Combat.

Mobile Suit: She pilots a modified OZ-00MS Tallgeese Flugel, called the 00MS Nightmare.  Cosmetically, the Mobile Suit carries the motiff of a dark ancient-roman warrior.  The wing attachments bear no emblem and are highly modified for aerodynamic mobility, but they still seem to give off the impression of a phalanx's shields.

Weaponry: The Tallgeese came with a Dober Gun, a beam saber, a shield - a spartan but variable combat outfit.  She also sometimes carries a Heat Javelin or a hand-fired missile launcher into combat, usually housed on her back or in her leg compartments.

Most of her modifications have been on the engines and wing shields.  She put the Super Vernier Thrusters back on and conceptually reverse-engineered the Flugel Wing Arrays to increase sheilding and agility during atmospheric combat.  The result is a mobile suit that can almost hit escape velocity from Earth's Atmosphere, aerodynmic Auxillary Sheilds that can survive reentry, and carefully arranged micro-trusters throughout the array that increase her agility.

Personality: Tsukiko is a bit of a fun loving girl.  She's a thrill seeker, a story teller, loves her shops and sweets, and still is indelicate enough as a japanese woman to enjoy the sight of Giant Cartoon Robots Punching Eachother In Space.  She isn't very military, enjoying the human aspect of what she does more than the fighting and killing it protrays. 

Background: Tsukiko went to college for mechanical engineering.  She was always a bit of a geek, but she's got a good understanding of how things work, and this is just another place where she gets crazy ideas to work with.  WIP

Avatar Background:  Raya d'Argenta grew up in Venice, under the name Amara Malina.  With all the fighting, Amara determined to join the war effort as a mobile suit pilot with the Earth Sphere Alliance, and showed a propensity for the trade.  She found herself in space exterting control over Colonies, earning a name for herself but ticking off both her enemies and some of her superiors in the process.  Suspiciously soon after this, a routine support mission went bad and left her crash-landed and badly wounded on the surface of Mars.

  Amara was taken in by Cherry Libertania, whose family was maintaining and operating the old Phobos and Diemos Suits as a mercenary team.  She spent almost a month in recovery there, during which time she bonded with the family.  But she was forced to move on after another member of her destroyed unit, Simon Tremor, showed up.  She and this person were folded into a squad called Crimson Winter, where they came into conflict with the Libertanias several times.  As it went on, Amara got disillusioned with what she was doing.  Eventually Tremor accused her of betrayal and the two fought.  Amara survived and decided to go rogue, disabling her ZAKU Mobile Suit and hiding it in a cave system.  She took the name Raya and started wearing a full-face mask to hide her burns.

  Raya spent some time working as a small-time mechanic for a man named Jack L. Bones, partly because he hated the Earth Sphere Alliance and was willing to leave secrets well enough alone.  His wife Vanessa was a medic that tended to mercenaries, and who'd sometimes travel to them and be radio silent for weeks.  At one point, Jack convinced Raya to track her down, only to learn she was in a heavily guarded internment camp along with Cherry Libertania.  Raya decided to reactivate her Mobile Suit and storm the camp.  It was a success, but doing it had alerted the Suit's original owners.  She, Jack and Vanessa joined up with the Libertania Mercenary Family, which had grown much smaller by this point, and entered a pitched battle with the Crimson Winter Squad.  They won, but their casualties left the Libertania family almost completely wiped out.

  After that, Raya took the name Raya d'Argenta and started her life formally as a mercenary, along with Jack, Vanessa, Cherry and her last surviving son Max Dias.  They also kept the crippled Simon Tremor as a POW, but he eventually earned their trust as well, mostly by providing intelligence.  This helped them when they took a contract with some upper level forces, who were impressed with how a motley band of obsolete suits accomplished the mission.  They reached an arrangement, strictly off the books.  The Libertania Mercenaries were renamed the Reclaimed Heralds of Phobos and Diemos, and Max Dias was named the Commander.

  What followed after that is a winding, dramatic tale of shifting loyalties and brave sacrifices.  All of which have served to make Raya d'Argenta a more formidable opponent.  She now wears a partial silver mask that obscure the burns on her face.  Cherry, Vanessa and Raya were known to spend the spoils of war throwing costumed fetes together: a tradition that is still honored publically twice a year.

Age: 25

Home Server: Japan
GBN Avatar:

Force Affiliations: No

Favorite Series: G-Gundam

Favorite Play Style: PVP

Least Favorite: Cooperative PVE

Fighting style: Speed combined with overwhelming force

Rank: Rank is determined by how well you do in PVP battles.

Mobile Suit: Exia Impulse Custom - Based off of the main chassis of the ZGMF-X56S/α Force Impulse Gundam, with customization parts from the GN-001 Gundam Exia and its GN Drive, as well as the forearm gatling guns of the RX-78NT-1 Gundam.

Weaponry: One combination GN Sword/Beam Rifle, two MA-M941 "Vajra" Beam Sabers, two M71-AAK "Folding Razor" Anti-armor Knives, two 90mm Forearm Gatling Guns, two Head Mounted 60mm Vulcan Guns, two Chest Mounted MMI-GAU25A 20mm CIWS, the α Force Silhouette Pack, Over Boost Mode, and the Trans-Am System

Personality: Asuka is a competitive pilot to the core, always wanting to test herself against others, especially if she views them as a worthy challenge.  She doesn't fight those she views as beneath her unless they force her hand and when she has to do so it pisses her off.  Weaklings should know their place, after all, and that's is to stay out of her way.  Gunpla is her only passion, and she's spent many a sleepless night building and customizing various models, so it's honestly no surprise that not much else can hold her interest for very long.  Maybe that will change going forward, but then again, maybe it won't.

Background: Asuka Takeda is the daughter of the CEO of one of Japan's largest pharmaceutical companies, Astellas Pharma Inc.  As you can likely imagine, this meant she grew up highly privileged, her father's money buying her whatever she needed or desired... and it frankly bored the hell out of her.  Being catered to all the time can be quite nice, no doubt about it, but when it's all you know, day in and day out, with the strict rules and requirements that come with it, you tend to get sick of it all very quickly.  Having to behave just how her father wanted at all times, being the perfect daughter with the perfect posture, the perfect record, just the pressure of it all... she needed an outlet.  It came in the form of various games, purchased with her private funds via online, and more importantly anonymous, methods.  It was this small freedom that kept her from going out of her mind with the day to day grind of it all, until finally the day came to enter college.  This was her chance to break away from her father's intense scrutiny, as long as she took the courses he wanted, but that was a small price to pay for a taste of freedom, however small it was.  This is when she rediscovered Gunpla.

Years ago she came upon the craze that is the model building, virtual fighting giant robot sensation that had swept the globe, but partaking in it proved next to impossible.  While online, anonymous purchases were possible, if difficult, getting her driver to take her to a Gunpla store and not tell her father was absolutely out of the question.  The man was paid too well for that.  Now, however, she had a chance thanks to witnessing a small tournament held by her dorm at the local shop.  She became enthralled with it like nothing she had ever tried before, and none of her former hobbies could compare to the thrill of creation, the rush of combat, and the amazing sensation of winning a tough match that Gunpla brought her.  It took a good chunk of her personal funds, kept relatively small so her father had some control over what she spent it on, but she purchased everything she would need to get started on her path to glory.  Now she competes against other players in the virtual world as a Diver, her avatar and dramatic shift from her public persona expertly hiding her identity from anyone she might encounter within it, and that's exactly how she likes it.

Nice to see you made up a profile Cren, I'll look it over a bit when I have a chance. RL is leaning on me fiercely.

In that same boat. :(

[JoanieSappho]

Gard has seduced me, also the promise of giant robots.

Of course, when I say 'giant robots' I mean housebound and mildly obsessive totally-not-me based character is probably going to be flying a Model 133 Ball with the stock cannons replaced by a pair of the 200mm x 25 guns from the Tieren Space type. Because three probably wouldn't fit and she's modding for looks, damn your purity, she's putting 00 guns on a Crossbone Ball. Also lots of tiny cosmetic things, she really needs a life.

Or maybe one of those guns on a 79C Ball. It's gonna be a Ball, anyway.

[Gardsorm]

Oh god, you're really doing it... xD Godspeed.

Force Affiliations: None

Favorite Series: Mobile Suit Gundam

Favorite Play Style: PVE/PVP

Least Favorite: Time Trial

Fighting style: High speed switching between extreme close and long range

Rank: C

Mobile Suit: Model 133 Ball Custom (133 body, guns from a Tieren Space Type, significant cosmetic work)

Weaponry: 2x 200 mm x 25 Smoothbore Gun (Space Type), 2x 30mm Vulcan Gun

Personality: Jean tends not to take things particularly seriously, has a bad and somewhat crass sense of humour and a habit of getting far too obsessed over minor details. Also probably a little bit lazy.

Background: Originally intending to head into academia, Jean's health suffered several issues before she could actually do so. While her chronic conditions are, for the most part, under control, she has been left incapable of doing most of the things she'd intended to do with her life and has since turned into something of a shut-in. While she enjoyed several of the Gundam series, especially the original, she admits to not being the most invested fan of the series.
However, experience gained in modifying miniatures for other games left her with the skills, materials and interest in creating her own gunpla, and with a lack of much else that she can do with her time, her rather excessively detailed Model 133 Ball has become quite the timesink for her, especially once she got used to handling it and annoying far more serious PvP players with it.

[Gardsorm]

Aaayy, she pulled through, and what a winner!

I nominate Jean and Souji for the comedic pvp duo with silly machines. I'm also only mildly kidding. :3

I could easily see her and Shoko being a really odd pair of contrasting friends due to being fellow recluses. :)

Personality: Julian is a sarcastic man who blows off all but the most serious situations when in GBN or when he’s referred to by his real name which he almost never uses except with people he knows personally. With a somewhat unconventional sense of humour and a tendency to talk like a traditional non-Diver gamer, Julian may be considered to be an annoyance to people who aren’t used to the way that he talks.

Background: Formerly a non-Diver streamer, Julian hopped on to GBN when it was first available, seeing it’s potential to be a phenomenon online early on and because of his love of Gundam.

Originally finding modest success during the transition, Julian is now able to support himself via GBN after establishing himself among G-tubers when the concept was in it's infancy thanks to a portion of his viewer base transitioning with him to watch and play alongside him.
