Name: Sakuya Kawashiro
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Appearance:
Her hair lost its purple sheen becoming a drab black and during her "depression" she got rid of her standard gundam clothing for a normal if somewhat old fashioned japanese school/naval outfit complete with a black officers hat she wore everywhere now.
Nationality: Japanese

Personality: her personality remains the same she is still a calm and calculative person but a few things did change she is more laid back and willing to go along with the "flow" of things beyond that She has displayed a bit of lethargy being relunctant to do much of anything once she gets comfortable despite that she is still a avid builder being good but nowhere near the levels of some others. Beyond that she has seemed to accept her flaws and rather than hide them behind masks like she did before admits giving her a bit of a mature feel that she lacked before.

Backstory:
Being a Gundam fan she quickly got into gunpla battles. Her first gunpla was that of the Gundam Seravee which she still uses today though now it has been customized a lot. She grew up as a only child living with her father who was also a large Gundam fan. Using her looks as base she choose the Seravee as her first gunpla to match the theme of Tieria. The Seravee was a hard gunpla to use it also took a while to learn due to the six arms and side skills. Personally starting off she wasn’t the greatest but as she got continued she got better.

After a while she changed her gunpla to a custom Gebera Tetra and entered the 12th gunpla competition. Though it was after a bitter defeat in the quarter finals of a tournament she went back to her Seravee considering the condition of her Gerbera Tetra. It was than that she was invited to the Nielson labs summer academy. Taking the invitation she hopes to better her skills as a builder and a fighter. Gunpla for her as she stated at the application was a life experience since it taught life lessons but was also promoted fun and free thinking. That though was a few years ago. After all of that was done she left a better battler but one thing remained eating away at her.

She felt empty like she reached her limit in terms of gunpla. Though the death of her father did not help in terms of feeling empty and reaching her limit. She continued building but battling and tournaments kind of took a back seat. She worked herself to the bone to improve things but she always fell short she reached her limit or so she thought. She worked harder and harder eventually where the bags under her eyes were practically permanent. She gave up on gunpla for a little doing nothing more than studying for whatever reason till she decided to try her hands at building once more entering a small store that was said to have been owned by Sei Iori's family she found her answer.

It was than that she was found by the current Meijin seeing her predicament and perhaps containing a bit of information of her past endeavors challenged her using nothing more than a quick straight build of a Zaku. Using her custom flag and even with all of her strategies and quick maneuvers even making her use its trans-am system she lost. It was than she was told something that made her reevaluate everything "gunpla has no limits the only limits you have are the ones you place upon yourself." Those words caused her to stop and think and rather than build a complicated gundam she went with something new in which she did with time and a bit of effort she created a series of gunpla each unique and special in their own rights she called them the "Fubuki Class". It as there she made her name known again not as the lightning count or as a Tieria copycat but rather her as her own person. This was the birth of a new name for her one that was not known more by her nickname but rather her own name. The first in the Fubuki Class was a revamp of the qubeley keeping the overall appearance the same the binders featured charging racks carrying extra funnels. It shares some features with the papillon including increased funnels and features.

Other Info:
the bags under her eyes seem to have become a permanent feature of her face despite how much she sleeps now. She practically looks completely different and if she does not mention who she is there is little chance of people recognizing her unless they went to the summer academy but even than they can tell that there is something off about her. Beyond that her ability to see the plavsky trails seems to have gotten stronger over the years and as such she is now able to predict the paths a person might take and as such can "predict" the future as many have claimed.

Name: Alexis Voll

Age: 28

Gender: Female

Appearance: Long brown hair blue eyes an light skin. Alexis stands about 5 11 is in general just average looking in terms of build and looks. She general keeps her hair braided and wears glasses for reading or building due to poor 'close' vision.

Clothing wise she is very 'jeans and t-shirt', though she generally wears pants a size or two to big so she doesn't feel like she's being choked by them. She also has a plain black leather jacket with 'Celestial Being's emblem embroidered on the shoulder that she got as a gift from her brother. However recently she's had a new version of the jacket made, which looks the same save the edition of a purple snake coiled around the Celestial Being emblem

Nationality: American

Back story:
Alexis got her start with Gundam thanks to her brother, Damian, who got introduced to it via the legendary first run of Toonami, with Gundam Wing, 8th MS team and G-Gundam, as well as Gundam SEED later, and kept following it off and on over the years. Damian, while still a fan eventually drifted from it due to life getting in the way and just gave the DVDs he'd gotten for Wing, SEED, 00 and several 'spin offs' like 8th MS team, Stardust Memory and War in the Pocket.

She was initially annoyed her brother just dumped at those DVDs on her, being 14 and all, she just tucked them away until one Friday night after getting stood up by her now Ex-Boyfriend who turned out to have been cheating on her with a now Ex-Friend, pulled the back out and binged on them, starting with Gundam 00, expecting little more then mindless explosions. By the following Tuesday she'd burned through everything her brother had given her and started looking for more.

Still, while she'd become a fan of the anime, buying and building a Gunpla was something she'd hadn't considered, even after a local mall got a battle system. She'd watch the battles from time to time but felt that Gunpla building and battling weren’t for her. At First.

Naturally, curiosity got the better of her and she walked into the hobby shop that specialized in Gundam kits and supplys. Her first reaction to all the kits, many of MS and Gundam she'd never seen before was 'holy crap' in that surprised 'this is really this big?!' way, she wandered the shop a bit before grabbing a plain old HG Zaku II, as she generally had a thing for Zeon MS. The kit turned out to be the first of many, though she usually just went for 'show accurate' rather then any kind of custom build.

By the time she was 16 she graduated to battling, just casual matches with the damage set to the lowest
setting with friends she'd made with the regulars at the hobby shop, or the occasional shop run local tournament. Her brother encouraged her to take part in a more serious tournament, after seeing one of her more intense battles. She didn't hesitate like before on this though, she did how ever not enter the first tournament to come around though. What she did instead was talk to, and learn more about customization and tuning for higher performance. Plus she had to pick a Gunpla to 'trick out' and get really combat ready.

The answer to that present it self fairly quickly. The process she used was simple she'd look over her now, impressive collection of Gunpla and pick the one she liked best. Exia got picked because she had like 5 of them, with a 6th in the form of the then newly released RG Exia, which sat unbuilt in it's box still.

With her Gunpla chosen, she still had 2 problems to deal with though. She didn't know what she wanted to do far as customizations went, all official tournaments in her area all conformed to 'World Championship' standards, which meant Model Damage Level A, a setting she'd never fought on. She'd seen others fight on that setting, and even seen the aftermath of those battles. Still she steeled her self for the ass kicking she was about to get and asked if she could join a game with one them. A couple of them teased her a little, the 'fresh meat' joke being tossed around, but they where generally helpful and one in particular, another girl fighter named Rachel offered advice on how to improve her game.

Mean while Damian suggested she make Exia a 'sleeper', A 'straight build' looking model hiding a much higher performance level then its looks would imply, Alexis liked this idea, Rachel thought it was underhanded, and she loved it and Alexis set to work building her Exia, field testing it on Level A with her friends, though Exia wasn't ready in time for the first tournament and family issues caused her to miss the one next year so she didn't make her debut till she was 18.

She made it all the way to the first round of the Semi Finals before what amounts to bad luck took her out of the tournament her first year, next year she made it to the finals, but lost to an Eypon after a long fight. Alexis took State on her third try but it was a narrow victory.

It's been a few years since her first State title, since then she collected a few Regional titles and even made it as far as the top 16 in the country. Though lately she's feeling like she's hit a wall, as she's not sure what else she can do to Exia to get more out of it with out. Which is what lead her to apply, and subsequently get into Nielsen's Academy/Lab.

Her time at Nielsen's Labs taught her much. How to be a better builder and fighter to be sure, but also a few more important lessons not taught in a class. After finishing at the Labs Alexis didn't just jump back into the tournament scene though, she took a few years off, partly due to build a new Gunpla, one suitable for for the goal of taking her to the World Stage, and this meant seeking inspiration, which turns out, didn't come easy.

The other reason that slowed her return was 'Cassandra'. Alexis's 10 month old daughter, and tending to her really slowed her progress on building, or finishing a Gunpla that would carry her to the World stage.

Name: Dani Hatashi

Age: 19

Gender: Female

Appearance:Normally at a height of five foot seven, she isn't the shortest girl around, but her height is usually diminished by the wheelchair she goes around in. Most of the times, she'll wear a white t-shirt with a clothy vest over it and a pair of black pants. She wears boots on her feet and doesn't mind the warmth given to her upper body b the jacket. Her hair is about midway down her back and whitish grey, usually opting to go the route of least maintenance and just brushes her hair. Due to a side effect of the experiments in the lab, her eyes are a dark and deep pink, almost red. Around her neck is a beautiful collar/pendant, with a red gem in the middle of it.
In her appearance, she's lacking the helmet she used to carry around, something that would be noticeable to her older opponents and friends.



Nationality: Japanese

Backstory:
Dani is what many would label a genius. IQ of 175 and surprisingly lazy. She was a normal kid outside of being bored in classes, being brought up in the us for most of her child hood, learning to speak Japanese through her mother. In school, she rather stubbornly refused to be put into advanced classes, much to the annoyance of her parents and teachers. She didn't have much of an interest of gunpla during most of her early life and was even depressed, content to glide through school at a leisurely pace but had nothing to attract her attention.

the unfortunate part of her story happens when she was eight. Out with her father, they got into a car accident, paralyzing her legs and leaving her unable to walk. The same accident caused her to lose her father as well. This left her and her mother unable to function and survive, causing them to move back to japan to live with her mother's family inside of year. Getting adjusted to society in japan was a real culture shock for her. Her mother had some traditions she had brought with her, but the new world she lived in was flashy and bright.

She was missing out on the world due to her disability and was slipping further into depression despite the new experiences, but found something called gunpla when she was eleven. She had heard the name tossed about a little, but was absolutely astonished when she saw her first fight. People were controlling mobile suits. She hadn't had a way to express herself in the realworld fully in a long time in such freedom

Diving into the world of model building, she found herself having a vent for the three years and counting of no walking. Building units with legs, she found herself cruelly being made fun of and could hear the snickering of those who saw her fighting. Her leg work was a bit clumsy and that didn't earn her any respect. So she went ahead and abandoned the legs on her gundams, choosing a tank basis for her new gunpla, which she was getting excellent at building due to so much free time and a great mind to devote to new ideas.

Eventually, she built herself the "Block" Rx-75. the tanked gunpla was a fortress of armor and firepower. The new gunpla she had created silenced those who taunted her; in the gunpla amateur scene, she became a force to be reckoned with. Over the next few years, she began developing her gunpla, advancing it and once finding it well enough, she began working on something in secret, using her knowledge and her own tinkering with the systems of her gp base before her helmet began to appear on her wheelchair.

With continued success, she got an invitation to join the gunpla summer training camp, their detection of her modified gp base causing intrigue among them. During this time, she displayed an intelligence level and engineering skills to develop a system that allowed her to "dive into her gunpla" and control it as she would her own body.

With an induction into the labs at 15, only a little older than the Time Nils was rediscovering the plavasky particle, she made a great addition to staff. Her goal was not expanding the quality of the particles, but of the more practical usage of them. Particularly, those with disabilities. With nobles goals and the support of Nilson Labs, she worked in secret with them, in development, re-emerging a few years later and climbing her way into the world cup easily. With the labs backing her and rumors floating around Nielson Laboratories was debuting something unseen before at the world cup, she was rather abuzz with the crowd.

Other information: Is in possession of a Dive system to allow her to control her gunpla with her mind as if they were an extension of her body.
Has also trained directly under Nils to improve her fighting abilities and has been taught the way of the plavasky particles by him. This includes use of them in gunpla and techniques relating to them.

She has her own personal suits, but at the moment is using one she created with the care and help of Nilson labs. this is not the only one she'll be using in the tourney.

Name: Rou Gernot
Age: 24
Gender: M

Appearance:
Normal: Rou wears a large black Kamen Rider baseball cap that shades his green eyes and makes his black shaggy hair just down to his nape. He wears a long sleeved button up shirt that is usually left open to show whatever Toku/Anime shirt he has chosen to wear for the day. His dark jeans are a little stained and torn, but still decent.

Nationality: American

Backstory: All his life Rou has loved Tokusatsu heroes and giant robots, especially combiners. He began collecting Super Sentai robots, gunpla and merchandise when he was 8 and his collection is still growing. He can quote Riders, sing theme songs, and name any mobile suit. However, his biggest problem is that he can rarely discuss his hobbies due to his timidness. This was onset by his first gunpla battle at the local hobby shop. Rou built a simple GM to test the waters of the new game. He was stomped and ridiculed for his inexperience, and quickly left the shop and never returned. He longed for companions to help him. Better yet, a team. Despite his trepidation, he attempted to find friends at a different hobby shop. He laid low, but no one really stood out to him. Rou began to only fight matches in private, fearing what the audience would say about his skills.

Struggling to overcome his fear of confrontation and people, Rou discovered that he wasn't too timid if the opponent didn't know who he was. He began planning a cosplay suit to hide his identity, but could not seem to fathom what mobile suit to base it from. Rou surveyed his shelf. He wanted something simple. Zaku? Nah, cliche. BCUE? Too animalistic. His eyes finally rested on something he constantly over looked. The quaint little cannon fodder known as the Ball. It was perfect. Rou's skills were good enough that he could hold his own with such a puny gunpla, ad it fit his hero theme quite nicely. He finished his suit in a week and went to the shop. People stared, but no one knew who he actually was, and it made Rou feel so much more comfortable. "Ball Guy" was what they called him. He didn't win many matches, but he was well known and rather liked, even if he was just acting like a "gaudy super hero". Rou decided that a simple upgrade would not suffice. He needed something extra. Then it dawned on his. What about...extra balls? IF that was the case then he would need a Flash system, and that's something that an ordinary Ball wouldn't be able to handle. Rou brainstormed. Balls were what made him so renowned in his town, he couldn't just stop using one. He crafted for weeks and weeks until he found a solution. The transforming ball! he could still use the Flash system as a Gundam, but still look like a ball. Weeks later, his prototype was complete. In a private match he quickly lost ground, but once he transformed his Ball, his opponent dropped like a rock. Now he just needed to know how to use his backup Balls. Constantly controlling them would be tedious and require immense effort. As he wracked his brain, the Super Sentai show running in the back ground showed a scene of them calling their mecha together. It was miraculous, and it fit Rou's personality perfectly. He was going to make a Ball Sentai. He began winning his local matches, preferring to keep his Ball Squad's ability a secret. It was for only those eyes he thought deserving. Learning of his fame, he was invited to Neilsen Labs to participate, signing up under the guise "Ball Guy", to keep his identity a secret for just a little longer. The suit had become a crutch, but its ability to keep him calm in social situations was invaluable. During his time at Neilson Labs, Rou eventually overcame his fear of being in the spotlight and is now comfortable without the Ball Guy suit, though he still remains a little awkward. In recent years, it is rumored that Rou was the first American to be allowed to learn the arts of the Shingyo School of Gunpla, under Master Chinan. He soon received an invitation to participate in the 11th Gunpla World Tournament, where he would soon don his old Ball Guy uniform to attempt to change the minds of those stuck in the Gunpla.

Gunpla:

Ball Daizen/Sphere King


A base skeleton that allows for a combination of five attachment Balls to combine to form the mighty Sphere King. Equipped with the basic Ball Cannon an a beam saber for Gundam mode, as well as a G-Bit system to control each Ball module until combined. IT is said that once the power of all six Balls is unleashed, nothing can stand in its way.

Blade Ball: Equipped with four beam sabers to be wielded, as well as the tech to detach the arms of the other balls as Sphere King to turn them into Grasping Funnels. Unfoldable hand.

Blaster Ball: Equipped with twin buster rifles that can extend into a rail cannon by merging with Ball Daizen's cannon. A hand folds out from underneath when attached.

Bomb Ball: Equipped with eight quad missile pods, four on each side, as well as a set of 4 detonation charges to be placed. Added support on bottom to be used as feet.

Booster Ball: Unfolds to become the booster pack. Carries additional specialty fuel tanks to supplement combat with various super modes (Trans AM, etc). Very fast but otherwise useless in combat.

Characters: Aya and Raya Rosewood (Twins)

Age: 12 (because I can CX)

Genders: Female

Nationality: Japanese

Backstory: (Will think of one later.)

Roles: They are both the builds of the gunpla they use. However Aya is the nagvator/detection systems user while also controlling both attack drones along with controlling the shape of the beam shield. Raya on the other hand is the pilot and is quite capable of using the gunpla to its full capabilities.

Appearance:

Barbatos Kai kit.
Uses 5th form
Light armor, high mobility with thruster set on feet, backpack, and waist mounted thrusters. Chest is reactive armor once use only.
Has the Mirage Colloid system for both stealth and allowing the pilot to redirect energy beams away from the suit. It also has a beam shield generator and fin funnels around the frame to allow for the shape and size to be adjusted for what is needed at that time. The beam shield’s edges are as sharp as beam swords.
K9 unit (the attack drone backpack). 2 of these are mounted onto the gundam using light armor on the upper arms modified to act as docking pads for them to be launched from or dock for reload. Both are outfitted with 3 large missiles at the rear of it (each containing 12 micro GN missiles.) At the front of it a variable-speed beam rifle is mounted for its main form of attack.
Weapons:
• Smoothbore gun 300mm weapon with a 60mm machine gun as an under mounted weapon. This is mounted to the right hidden arm for the Barbatos backpack.
• Large Special Mace aka the wrench mace
• Arm mounted mortars – two mortars mounted to the left forearm that flip forward and be can fired.
• Wire claw – mounted to the right forearm.

Name: Kanoko Tanegashi
Age: 17
Gender: F
Appearance: Kanoko is well built and fairly tall, standing at 5'9" and 160ish pounds. She has wider hips and what seems to be a rather large chest, but in reality her body packs a lot more strength than would first appear. Being a weight lifter and someone who does strength training three times a week, Kanoko's form is thick and solid, with even the loosest clothing providing a very difficult fit for her musculature. Highly unusual for someone who likes gunpla and manages to scratchbuild aspects of a kit, other features that stand out are her rounder, cheerier face and her pastel, carrot-colored hair. With vivid green eyes to provide sharp contrast, her face is what attracts the most attention as she's usually dressed in track or exercise wear, mainly due to her workout schedule. Most days she wears a red track jacket, any kind of T-shirt underneath but traditionally ones with interesting patterns, and a pair of spats which are cut just above the knee, colored gray with a black stripe down the side.

Personality: Kanoko is very upbeat and outgoing, and is usually the life of a party. Almost always in a good mood, her attitude is simply bursting with energy, the girl being enthusiastic in almost all of her ventures no matter how tedious. She puts this to good use outside of her schooling and her workouts in the form of her passion for Gunpla, a highly unusual hobby for a girl of her temperament. However, the intense fights of gunpla tournaments resonate with her, and during battles she can be seen wholly throwing herself into the fray, her excitement flooding every attack and dodge to give her haphazard fighting style its own flavor. She's incredibly friendly, and isn't afraid to tell people off if need be, but she prefers to avoid conflict if she's able to.

Backstory: One wouldn't think that Kanoko would be into Gunpla, but Gundam itself as a whole is one of her greatest interests. Being the daughter of an engineer, she was introduced to Gundam by her father through the Universal Century, where he took his own inspiration in order to become an engineer. In her early years she didn't build Gunpla, but was infatuated with the storyline, gobbling down every book, anime or movie she could possibly get her hands on about the Universal Century, until the series came to a head with: Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt. It was gritty, it was raw, the storyline was enthralling and the mobile suits themselves were detailed to a standard she had never seen before. The redesigns enraptured the weight training fitness girl more than anything else she had found, and the newest designs such as the Atlas or the Gundam Head GMs were fascinating to observe through the pages. Thus began her journey into Gunpla, using the energy and enthusiasm she put towards her athleticism into building gunpla and eventually submitting herself in tournaments.

Other Info: She has a penchant for utilizing unusual tactics in the same vein as Io Fleming from Gundam Thunderbolt. This was bound to happen, as she has a customized variant of the FA-78 Thunderbolt Use Full Armor Gundam that she has used since she achieved a much better quality in her Gunpla builds. Her drive and passion match his as well, though she's far less vindictive and more of one to enjoy the moment. Favorite part of using any of her builds is to purge the armor and leverage the lighter weight, even if the unit has less armament as a result.

Gundam Info

Name: FA-78 Full Armor Gundam, ver. Kano/ RX-78AL Atlas Gundam(Prototype), both 1/144
Based from: FA-78 Full Armor Gundam, Thunderbolt Version, RX-78AL Atlas Gundam

Appearance:




Armaments:
Full Armor Gundam: - x3 beam sabers, one mounted on the standard backpack underneath the assault pack, the other two in the sides of the assault pack.
- x1 150mm assault rifle equipped with underslung tube launcher, varying loadouts of flash, high-explosive, fragmentation, and HEAT warheads.
- x4 standard shields, coated with anti-beam materials
- x5 handheld cluster missile packs
- x1 six-tube missile launcher pack
- x1 rapid-fire railgun
- x10 missile packs hidden underneath the armor plating
- x1 heat rod, stored in the left arm when not in use.

RX-78AL Prototype: - x2 beam sabers, stored in the shoulders for easy access.
- x1 ultra-heat resistant shield, enough to withstand heavy sustained beam attacks for a duration.
- x1 beam magnum, with an extended E-cap capacity and x3 extra magazines
- x2 60mm vulcans mounted in the head
- x1 heat rod, optional, mounted on the left arm.

Other Info: The Atlas Prototype is a complete work in progress. She has not managed to finish all of the weapons for it, and as such in its current state is bare bones save for initial armament she uses when she has no other option. Kanoko is attempting to finish the Atlas Gundam for show, but in its current state, it is still a formidable unit. Once the armor is purged, though its frame is weaker, the speed increases a little over two fold and its flexibility is raised, enabling much faster reaction times. Her fighting style is based on leveraging her units' strengths and minimizing the weaknesses, and compensating when need be. The Atlas Gundam may be a contender soon enough, but for now it is unable to be used in a full combat capacity.
