[D&D-5e] Gundam academy

[Shylocke]

Posting interest. I'll get an application up shortly. Right now I'm looking at an infiltrator.

[Shylocke]

Application Name: Jenna Jinqarossa Race: Earthnoid Class: Infiltrator Age: 18 Appearance: Standing fairly short at 5'1", Jenna has generally attractive if bland features. Her long black hair, reaching between her shoulder blades if left free, is typically held back in a variety of styles depending on her mood, the day, the weather or some combination of all three. She has soft-brown watchful eyes and carries herself in an unassuming and casual way. Backstory: Jenna was born into a poverty stricken small town on the western side of central Mexico. Her parents couldn't find stable work and just had too many mouths to feed. Even when they did get money, it was too often spent on drugs or alcohol. Despite the struggles and despite the hardships, the family was tight-knit. Her life changed forever on the day of the impact. The place they lived - a flimsy structure nestled illegally by the coast - was completely wiped away. Where before life was tough, it suddenly became desperate and the war only made things worse. Jenna had already planned to enlist when she witnessed a battle between Gundams across the city in which she lived. The pilot who lost, their shield had been knocked from it's grasp and fell just to crush the factory where her father and two of her older brothers worked. It was then that her ambitions of becoming a Gundam Pilot crystallized. Jenna was tired of her life being thrown into the air so flippantly and so frequently. She was going to pilot the biggest machine around, and no one would destroy her life or the life of family or friends ever again. Whatever it took. Enlisting in the army was the easy. During that part of the war the EDF would take anything with a pulse. The hard part was getting into the Mobile Suit Academy.

[Chaos Havik]

Name: Alexander Ashcroft
Race: Spaceoid
Class: Fighter
Appearance: Alexander is a young man in late teens with long red hair and piercing red eyes. He keeps himself well dressed and well groomed especially to the customs of his homeland, or Home-Side might be the more apt way of putting it. He typically wears a stern expression on his face particularly when around those he dose not know or trust, but can be seen looking far more friendly and even light-hearted enough if around those he feels he can let his guard down around.
Age: 18
Backstory: Alexander is from a family of Nobles where he grew up.* Though Earths Government likely doesn't all that much recognize certain families as being nobles, that there have been groups that have helped to manage and play a key pivotal role in keeping things from breaking down is hard to deny, at least when you live in one of these massive space colonies. He is a middle-child with an older brother and a sister just one year his junior. Alexander had always felt taken with Mobil Suits and had originally planned to join the militia that mostly did security, or hunted down rouges and marauder ships. The rise of Zed Zeon has changed all that. The Sides remember. Not just all the trouble that Zeon caused for Spaceoids, but the atrocities. In Alexander's mind, there is no point to trying to be neutral, there are those that tried that 100 years ago and Zeon had taken advantage of that in the worst way. The thought of Zeon's claims to wanting to commit planet wide genocide sickening as well. Thus he has made moves to now join up with the EDF Academy. Perhaps if he and other Spaceoids join up and fight against the reborn Zeon, history will be a bit more kind towards them showing the Zeon's to be extremists that were rejected, and then destroyed even by the people they supposedly claimed to be fighting for.

 

(not sure the DM chooses or walk us though selecting which of the Sides we come from)

Nice. A 4th complete.

NAME: Johnathan 'GearHead' Poplaski

RACE: Earthnoid

CLASS: Engineer

APPERANCE: Johnathan has brown hair and green eyes. He sports a Van Dyke style goatee. With a lean build, he is quite short, standing at barely 5ft 4in and weighing 125lbs.

AGE: 18

BACKSTORY: At 18 and entering his final year at the academy, Johnathan 'GearHead' Poplaski can't wait to get out there and put his engineering skills to work. He has been training for this moment for the past three years. Growing up, Johnathan was always fascinated by machines and robots, spending countless hours dismantling and reassembling gadgets. His dream is to become a renowned pilot and engineer, inspired by his father's storied career in the same field. Johnathan strives to honor his father's legacy and make a name for himself, but his meticulous nature and high standards sometimes lead to self-doubt. Nevertheless, his passion for engineering and determination to succeed keep him pushing forward.

 

Johnathan is a determined and ambitious young man, with a passion for engineering and robotics. He is meticulous and has a keen eye for detail, but is also adventurous and eager to apply his skills in real-world scenarios. Johnathan often mutters engineering jargon under his breath when thinking. He tends to overanalyze mechanical problems and has a habit of tinkering with gadgets even when they don't need fixing. Johnathan fears failure and disappointing his mentors. He is also afraid of not living up to his own high standards and the high expectations placed on him as a promising pilot and engineer. In his free time, Johnathan loves to build and repair miniature models of robots and mobile suits. He also enjoys virtual reality simulations of space battles and engineering challenges.

For warning this is academy training. Exhaustion checks will be used. Some players won't like this. The book says extreme conditions and such. Excessive pt and gforces are extreme conditions. Don't apply if your unwilling to go through this.

Looking for 3-6 players.

Do you have a link to the game thread so we could see some of the dynamics going on?

[BlackDragon0]

That game is now closed.

If there's interest here I'll be starting a new game.

[Umbra]

Name: Bond Neuen.

Race: Spacenoid.

Class: Scout. / Pilot.

Appearance: Bond is recognized as a spacenoid from first sight. She stands five feet eleven inches tall, and her neck and limbs are long and lean. Bond possesses an unearthly elegance that can only come from living in space. Her skin is a smooth, warm brown, not unlike her father's. Her black eyes, however, sparkled like her mother’s. Her hair is just as dark as her eyes and is kept short and practical.

 

Age: 19.

Backstory: Bond spent her life on the Moon’s military base. Her mother works as an engineer as does her older brother, both under ACI contract. Her Father is a scholar. Her parents met while living in the colonies. Her mother is from an ACI mining colony, and her father is from an agricultural colony. Both Bond and her brother were born on the moon base and have spent the entirety of their lives there.

Mobile Suits, Military, History, and Space were all commonplace subjects in Bond’s home, though nothing interested her nearly so much as Earth, a subject her father had what seemed like infinite knowledge of. Earth was the most foreign place she could imagine. A dream-like paradise with its only living history. A living, breathing organism within the infinite confines of space. While most children dreamed of becoming mobile suit pilots, Bond dreamed of living her life on Earth. At sixteen, instead of being sent off to an agricultural colony and pretending to live life on Earth, she decided she would become a pilot and make her dream a reality.
