This is the sign-up for the Gundam rp I have in the works. Stick your hand in if you're interested, and don't be afraid to throw out characters if you have them.
Universal Century(Amuro Ray, Char Aznable, Judau Ashta, so on)
Starts up 7 years after Char's Counterattack(which was U.C. 0093)
U.C. 100: Under the leadership of a masked man calling himself the Sapphire Meteor, the Loyalist party of the Republic of Zeon gains power and declares war on the Federation; it follows this declaration with rapid, effective attacks, taking space colonies at high speed; by the end of the year, the Earth Federation has only a tenuous hold on Side 1 and Side 2.
All prospective applicants will be playing members of the Earth Federation or Republic of Zeon. Earth Federation applicants will either be MS pilots in Apollo Squadron, or members of the crew of the Zeus, which is the ship from which Apollo Squadron deploys and travels with. Zeon applicants will be pilots of the Republican Spear, or servicemen on the Zerstörer, from which the Spearmen and women deploy.
You can make Newtype characters if you so wish, but be tasteful; don't go all psycho-kinetic mega-ace on me.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Apollo Squadron
EFS Averruncus: Christened after one of the many titles attributed to the god Apollo, this assault carrier absolutely bristles with weaponry, housing a full 6 independently rotating beam cannon arrays, plus close range auto-cannons, and a small complement of missiles. In order to mount all this firepower, however, it loses a lot in speed and maneuverability. It has two mobile suit launch catapults, mounted on the top and bottom of the ship, placed near the center, facing the bow. It has enough internal space to house 10 mobile suits, and is crewed almost entirely by a small army of Haro robots; during battle, the droids are responsible for operating the ship weaponry, and assist in maneuvering, though the captain and lieutenant still delegate orders.
Republican Spear
RZS Asphodel: Named both for the lily and its translated meaning, this is quite unambiguously the capital ship of the Republic, though its approach to combat is notably different to that of Averruncus; it only has a few auto-cannon arrays, and instead picks up the slack with numerous missile ports and strategically placed vectoring thrusters, in essence accepting a weakness in prolonged engagements in exchange for greater tactical flexibility. Its deadliest weapon, however, is hidden as an apparently stylized prow: a charged particle cannon, effective up to a good 20km in space (5km in atmosphere) inside which everything hit by the 5m wide beam is vaporized. It does, however, take a good minute to charge up, and sucks so much power from the ship that its crew of 10 (not counting any on-board MS pilots) is left with none of the systems except for life support and temperature controls running. It holds enough space for 8 Mobile Suits, who can launch 2 at a time from its single launching bay, which is tucked under and behind the ship's prow.
