Universal Century 0081: Mobile Suit Academy (sign up)

[Kain]

This is a little experiment of mine that will differ from my usual stuff a little

Universal Century 0081, 2 years after the fateful battle of A Baoa Qu which ended the one year war between the Earth Federation and the Principality of Zeon. Many famous people would be forever remembered as heroes because of their roles in the battle and the peace they helped to usher in. But even in times of peace both sides continue to maintain their military forces just in case their old enemies get a little aggressive. In this generation wherer war is waged mostly through mobile suits rather than just with guns and fighters it is necessary to have people trained to pilot these high performance machines in battle. Some pilot for glory, others do it for sake of their homeland, and some just want to do it to leave their mark on history. No matter what it is that motivates them though once thing is generally true: they all gotta learn it somewhere.

Shikon Island Academy is just one of these places, a place that exclusively specializes in training future mobile suit pilots for a time when war might rear it's ugly head yet again. Its there that aspiring pilots in training learn the values of teamwork that are required in any military unit, as well as the many techniques used by ace pilots in the past. Along with the usual mobile suit training, the trainees also regularly engage in mock battles with each other which use actual mobile suits in order to learn from experience. All seems normal but with vengeful Zeon terrorists being hidden in numerous places, who knows what may happen.

Mobile Suit Types:
At Shikon Academy most trainees are assigned one of two different types of mobile suits for use in training battles, the types of which determine which side they are on when in training battles:

RGM-C79 GM:

A widely used and well known Earth Federation mobile suit.

MS-06F2 Zaku II:

A Zeon model mobile suit that was quite widely used in the war, many of them were captured or purchased at some point. They generally act as the aggressors during training.

Note: You dont choose a mobile suit but will be assigned one early on in the rpg.

Here is my profile as an example:

Name: Kyle Raynor

Age: 19

Appearance:

History: The Raynor family is one with a long history of military service, and as such this particular son of the Raynor family found himself pushed into the role of a mobile suit pilot in order to uphold that particular family tradition. Due to his family's numerous connections it was only natural that he was sent to train at Shikon Island Academy which had been increasingly well known for the training of those likely to be regarded as ace mobile suit pilots. Despite all this though he tends to be more interested in the mobile suits themselves rather than mobile suit combat, while he has demonstrated some natural skill when it comes to piloting, he would rather be working on them and messing with their inner workings in most cases.

It's obvious that most have high expectations for this young man due to his lineage, and its also obvious that he doesnt exactly appriciate all the pressure people have been putting on him ever since joining up. He also displays a decent amount of leadership potential, though that tends to be a bit suppressed by the fact that being in a position like that would only put more pressure on him, and thus possibly make him perform poorly.

Name: Rena Takashima
Age: 18
Appearance:

History: Rena was born and raised on Side 6's Libot colony, which declared neutrality during the One Year War. Like many citizens on Libot, she paid little attention to the war until it came at their doorstep with the Gundam Alex incident. Although she didn't lose anyone to the attack, this spurred Rena on to become a Mobile Suit pilot, if only so her people wouldn't be caught defenseless again. Making it planet side, she joined Shikon Academy and Rena found herself jeered by her fellow classmates for not just her spacenoid heritage but also because of Side 6's neutrality during the war.

Outside combat, Rena is usually seen studying combat manuals in an attempt to soak up as much information as possible. This may make her look antisocial, but this could be further from the truth as she is very outgoing. One of her friends at the Academy is Mari Kaido, who they both share the same trait of being relative unknowns at the Academy. She usually keeps a positive outlook on things, but sometimes worries about her own abilities. During assignments and mock combat sessions, Rena takes her duties very seriously and will follow her orders to the letter, even if her friends are on the opposing side.

(NPC Classmate)

Name: Agisa Nanao

Age: 20

Appearance:

History: Although she is in her third year in the Academy, Agisa is actually one year older then most since she had to repeat her third year after an illness that lasted nine months. Normally she's very childish and a cry-baby, but when needed she can be very strong-willed and dependable. She does not have much self-confidence so she often needs help in order to motivate her through the day.

For unknown reasons she transferred out of nursing school, against her parent’s will to become a mobile suit pilot. Rumor has it that she was following her deceased brother who has died in the one year war during a mobile suit exercise in the jungle of Southeast Asia. Nevertheless this leaves many questions, but in the end all is forgotten for Agisa’s childish ways captures the hearts of her peers and Instructors.

(Main Char)

Name: Arai Sakagami

Age: 19

Appearance:

(Sometimes he wears glasses, some times he doesn’t and puts on contacts)

History:
Easy going, friendly, and always smiling on one really know why he smiles so much. Arai seem to make more friend then enemies in any situation. He has a strange ways of going bout doing things, and I known to not be punctual. Accustom to not being able to wake up and perform well in the morning, Arai usually become the laughing stock of the academy. As punishment for falling asleep during morning lectures, Instructors unually have Arai Pilot a Zaku playing the enemy and becoming a moving target for his peers to fire at due to this often occurring, Arai has become a great leader for the opposing team and is quiet handy with the enemy type mobile suit thus earning him a nick name “Zaku”.

Although he is liked by many others hates his guts like the unknown stance of his roommate Kyle Raynor, due to the fact that he is a Lunarian, A person born and raised on the lunar colony. Due to the stance of the lunar colonies during the War. Many Earthling cadets doesn’t like Arai, also the fact that rumor has it that Arai’s father was a former Zeonic Engineer that transferred over to Anaheim after the war. Even with all o the harassment he is still willing to put up and smile always.

[Milky Rose]

Name: Mari Kaido

Age: 18

Appearance:


History: A survivor of the one year War between Earth Federation and Zeon, Mari had looked up to the pilots of the Earth Federation, who fought the oppressive forces of Zeon. Determined to rise up as one of the heroes she cheered for during the war, Mari immediately headed for Shikon Academy in hopes of learning as much as she can to become the best pilot to ever set foot into a mobile suit. Because she was a nobody in the academy, however, she mainly got a lot of stares and jeers, with a few giving her a half-hearted welcome. Though this sour reception hurt her feelings thouroughly, she was determined to prove to her peers from both the Earth Federation and Zeon sides her worth, regardless of her status in the academy as a total nobody.

Outside of the rigorous Mobile Suit training, as well as her exercises in various martial arts techniques, Mari is very talented in the musical arts, oftentimes seen strumming a guitar all by herself in one corner of the academy. She is also fond of singing, letting her angelic voice reach whoever passes by and hears it.
