Gunpla (Gundam) Build Fighters - Reach for the Stars!

[VanceXentan]

It is the year 2019 and the world has progressed in various ways technologically, medically, and physically. Enter the world of Gunpla: The technological marvels of the current generations have allowed model makers of the plastic gundam suits to animate and fight it out with their models in contests to see who will win. This is the era of the third Gundam boom in which has seen the increase of many sales of the models and many more fans of the gundam series. Entire celebrity followings have been made to center around this phenomenon as much as sports and music. With the boom of gunpla in the late eighties and nineties along with the commercial success with gunpla the series has become a massive hit for all mecha fans everywhere.

Enter the national gunpla tournaments and franchise. Now of days you can use models built by yourself and others to fight with other people using the advanced plavsky particle machines to animate the pseudo mobile suits. Tournaments are abound everywhere from country to country and are even broad casted on national tv and in the tournaments the ending is usually the National Finals where two of the best builders in the world take their place to become grand champion of gunpla. However after seeing the market crave more variation than the usual from the tournaments of this they decided to add a new championship to the set. Adding to the current Intentional titles of: North American Championship, Euro Championship, Asian Championship, Model Builder Championship, and African Championship along with International Champion comes the first ever Tag Team Championship. Previously tag teams had not been recognized officially but with the increase of interest once more various companies including Bandai and the makers of the plavsky particle machines which make it all possible comes the International Team Championship. Now not only can friends join together in an attempt to gain the newly made championship (with the team usually being sponsored by someone) but random people can be random teams by choice if they place their names into the tournament with the intent to form teams with strangers. With the tournament being held around the world it is more than likely that contestants will need sponsors from some company or another otherwise they'd have to front the cost themselves. With the start of July comes the start of the tag tournament and where our story starts. Now is the time in which to reach for the stars and become one.

We are newly formed team being united by a company with the intent on becoming the next Gunpla Team Champions. Our goals may be different but the destination is the same. We will be going after the International Team Championship in the minor leagues. Be it we were found by luck, or our notable talent will be up to you the players.

Rules:
1. All typical roleplay rules apply


2. Canon Gundam armor and systems do not matter (much) in this along with special systems (Z.E.R.O, Alice, ETC) having little effect on the machine itself. Things like the berserk system won't have much effect outside of a small boost in one section or another. For example wing gundam can be beat by a Gyan, Devil Gundam can be beat by a mere Jegan, and melee based gundams are at a disadvantage against heavy ranged suits like the Quebley.

Think carefully about which suit you want because these aren't the real suits just replicas. With that being said smaller mobile armors are allowed but keep in mind not to overplay them.

3. We will be using one gunpla model with one back up in case something happens to it in story. For all intents and purposes we will be using a singular gunpla unit. However it can be swapped out if damaged heavily for story needs. Gunpla can (usually) be rebuilt but it will take time and it takes longer depending on the skills of your gunpla making skills on your character. The reason for not switching gunpla whenever we want is a thing is because we'll be in a tournament with a set group of units we're allowed to use.

4. We're all going to be on the same team but NPC characters can be controlled if you want to control a npc on another team please ask first.

5. Despite the lack of content shown above this is not a low effort roleplay and that should be kept in mind while making a CS AND posts. I'm not looking for a novel but a few sentences do not make a CS with any depth to it.

6. Gundams need to have a canon basis. So for example I don't want to see Mazinger, or Gurren in this roleplay. Other than this you may customize, and color the gundam within the reach of your character's building ability. However I would like, and expect to see, a balance between the two. An amazing pilot may be off set by his or her piss ability to make gunpla. Enter Sekai, or early Reiji for example.

7. As GM I reserve the right to deny something if I choose to be it doesn't fit the roleplay, or simply the concept would not work.
