The year was CE 75. The Earth Alliance declared war with ZAFT for the usual reasons, greed, racism and power. The Third Bloody Valentine War had begun. At first each side started taking advantage of their situation and scored victories over the other, but both sides then realized it could not outdo the other using their conventional weaponry and their mobile suits. So they then turned to nuclear arms and weapons of mass destruction.

The Great Destruction as it was soon to be called then led to a nuclear war between ZAFT and Earth, casulaties, both civillian and military was horrendous and horrifying. At war's end, all of Earth's colonies were all but destroyed, as both the Earth Alliance and ZAFT governing systems collapsed. On Earth itself, over 90% of the human population on the planet died. The people that did survive would move to an underground city known as Layered, which was run by a Orb Union AI program known as the Controller.

the year is 95 AGD (95 years After the Great Destruction, or CE 180) corporations now vie for Layered's lands and assets. However, all is not right with the Controller, as odd events start happening. They happen at such a frequency that some might even go so far as to suggest that the logic system is failing...

You are a pilot chosen to work as a mercenary working for the PMC Global Cortex. These are the factions.
  • Mirage - Originally an industrial machine manufacturer, Mirage has matured into one of the era's leading Gundam development houses. The company hopes to further strengthen its position by gaining access to The Controller and administering its power to benefit Mirage's agenda; given the massive extent of The Controller's ability to manipulate the populace of Layered, this would be an unimaginably useful plan, were it to be implemented and succeed. However, it has yet to be carried out due to fear of The Controller's reprisals should they attempt to act and fail; were they to do so, it would spell total destruction for them.
  • Crest - Mirage's main competitor, Crest initially rose to power as a bioengineering concern before redirecting its efforts into the field of Gundam part development. Crest is just as eager to expand its interests as Mirage but is reluctant to achieve this end by manipulating The Controller; in Crest's opinion, the current system is the best anyone can hope for. Crest offers unwavering support for The Controller and strives to maintain the control of the AI at all costs. This difference in perception places Crest and Mirage at odds, making them enemies idealistically in addition to practically.
  • Kisaragi - Like any corporate entity, Kisaragi strives to grow both its product line and market share, but given its somewhat small size in comparison to Crest and Mirage, only pushes the envelope when a clear advantage exists. Kisaragi's aspirations for power center mainly on surpassing their corporate rivals, and they take a very middle-of-the-road approach with regards to The Controller. Kisaragi broke into the Gundam development field after a successful stint as a computer manufacturer, and also seems to be working in the field of bioengineering and research. Kisaragi now bides its time, waiting for opportunities to increase its own resources, size and influence.
  • Union - An underground rebel group whose core members consist of intellectuals vehemently opposed to The Controller's uncontested rule of Layered. Given the occurrences that keep happening, support for the group is growing at the beginning of the game. Because of this radical stance in regards to the Controller, Crest considers Union to be Layered's most serious threat, and has gone out of its way to try to eliminate them. Meanwhile, Union remains convinced that something is amiss in Layered and has gone so far as to claim that The Controller is malfunctioning.
  • Global Cortex - A unique organization, Global Cortex is the intermediary between corporate clients and mercenaries for hire. These mercenaries, more commonly referred to as Ravens, are pilots who operate the massive mechanized units known as Gundams. Though Global Cortex works closely with all of Layered's corporations, it maintains a strict level of neutrality and does not side with any of them.

I'll join, hope you guys don't mind if I use Knightmare Frames like last time, I'm making my character and Frame now.
 
In all honesty, i am sort of against the idea of using other series or game mechs in a gundam rp. Like last time, every damn robot got so uber and carried so much weaponry that it became ridiculous. Every page, people upgraded their robot. By importing other robots in, it effectively can't be a gundam rp. Sorry Galm. I dont think ill join. i might reconsider, but taking into account of what happened last time, im not to sure...
 
well, my Gundam wont be getting upgraded, EVER.

as long as people are realistic in their weapon carrying and ugrading things, [taking longer to upgrade their suits and what not] then it should be better than last time. shouldn't it Galm?
 
That is correct.
How it should work for future reference:
I f the unit is based on a mech from another series, it's weapons can be used, but be reasonable. I cannot stress that enough.

Same thing for original mechs.
