Universal Century 0081: Mobile Suit Academy (sign up)

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: the skills required to be a legendary ace pilot need to be learned somewhere.

Sol 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.

As of now everything seems to be proceeding normally, but with the vengeful remnants of Zeon lurking around all over space and earth, things may or may not go as planned..............

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. For training purposes it has been given slightly thicker armor, paint ball weaponry and low-power beam weapons.

MS-06F2 Zaku II:
ms_zakufed_a.gif

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, instead one 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 Sol 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. Despite this though he is content with piloting a mobile suit in combat ashe feels that it may serve a greater good than just fixing them up after they become heavily damaged.

Due to his family history many have exceedingly high expectations for him, and naturally because of this there is a tremendous amount of pressure to succeed on him, resulting in him often pushing himself too hard in his training in order to meet the expectations of his peers, instructors and relatives. Aside from many people expecting him to eventually be an ace mobile suit pilot, his instructors have also seen that he has some leadershi potential as well, though due to the added pressure he doesnt always perform as well as he could.

In the end he is a person that is just doing his best to live up to the expectations of those around him, even if he pushses himself to hard in the process. The fact that many tend to resent him because of the beliefe that he has only made it to where he is because of his family's connections.

Name: Max Baxter

AGE:19

Apperance:

History:

Max was Born in a small colony a days travel from side two when the war erupted 2 years ago his colony was gassed by zeon luckily he and his family managed to escaped and fled to earth. The incident left a hatred of zeon in Max that would continue to the present date. Max was a top student at his school and when he joined the earth federations he scored the top scores on the entrance tests.

Max has been called a know it all bookworm all his life but he doesnt let it get to him. He may be a good study and smart but he still enjoys things other than books. He enjoys cooking whenever he can and volunteers in the mess hall of sol Island academy. The one thing he does study allot is the current mobile suit technology he beleives in knowing everything about what possible weapons your enemy could use.

In battle max uses his brains over his brawn he will cleaverly lead enemie's into traps or aim for the weakess part of his enemies mobile suit. He also tends to avoid close range and favor medium to long range because it gives you a more strategic advantage and because if your farther away from the enemy it gives you more time to plan your next move atleast thats what he tells everyone who asks him why he fights like he does.

Max joined the federation to learn to be a mobile suit pilot because although his anger towards zeon has lessened due to how long ago the incident happened he still has some hostility towards them. Therefore he wants to be a mobile suit pilot so that if there ever is another war he can be ready to join the fight.
 
Name: Rena Takashima
Age: 18
Appearance:
303gk5.jpg


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.
