"Ah, so that explains why I'm on Earth. I had gotten the message, but I didn't really see anything about what the request was actually for," she replied, taking the lieutenant's hand. "It just told me to report to the London base with my suit, no more. Ever since I was transferred to Londo Bell, I've been kept in the dark about, well, pretty much everything." Ayano held up her bag of food. "I'm heading down the hall to eat now, if you want to join and talk over lunch. Unless, you have some leader-ly business to take care of, sir. Don't let me take you out of your job." She said, continuing her walk down to the mess hall, soup probably lukewarm at this point.

Ayano's GM slid back in the dirt, the newly attached Jegan shield being sliced into by the Geara Doga's beam axe. The pilot was panting, this being the final mobile suit for her to defeat in the immediate area. Presumably, the hardest as well, considering the other three were not very difficult. She slung her shield out, staggering the Zeon suit, and thrusted backwards, the dust flying in the air. Ayano flicked a couple switches, and the tube launchers on the inside of the shield activated, smoke billowing behind the projectiles. The enemy suit bolted to the side, and charged her again. "Tch, not the best idea, schmuck," she muttered, activating a beam saber. Moving slightly to the side, the GM III boosted at the Geara, slicing the beam of energy across its abdomen, nearly severing the two parts. Sliding to a halt, Ayano looked back as the Zeon suit exploded into a pink cloud.

The cockpit screens closed, blinking to black as a message appeared, reading "Simulation Over." Another couple of flicks, and the hatch into the cockpit opened up, an older man standing outside, hands crossed over his chest. "Well. How'd the new shield fare?" he questioned. Ayano pulled herself out of the GM, loosening her uniform collar. "It worked, definitely better than the old GM one. Those missiles are damn useful, too. Good for getting off a quick shot the jackass might not expect."

"Good, I'm glad that worked. Any other ideas you have for her?" the man asked, moving his gaze up to the older suit. "She's an old one, y'know? I'm surprised you haven't moved up to a Jegan, especially since I know how you are about suit specifications." Ayano sighed, shaking her head. "I have plenty of ideas, for sure. But, nothing that we can do now. Besides, she's a good suit- been with me since I started piloting these things. It's not like they can't go toe-to-toe with a Jegan or anything," she said, walking past the mechanic. "I'm sure one day she'll go down, but right now, she's gonna be kicking ass, Alecks. And right now, I'm going to grab some grub. I haven't eaten since yesterday. Later ya gearhead." The pilot waved at her old friend before walking out of the hanger.

Half an hour later with a plastic bag by her side, Ayano walked into the main building of the base, squeezing through the doorway as a larger man was walking through. Making a salute gesture with her fingers at the security guys, she looked up at the stairs. She should probably go to the mess hall to actually eat, even if she just grab some soup from a local hole-in-the-wall place. Begrudgingly walking up the stairs, the pilot noticed a graying man with a thousand yard stare looking out of the window. Had something happened? As she walked past, Ayano glanced at him, with a somewhat quiet, "Sir, are you alright?" If didn't hear her, whatever. If he did, he did.

Sorry for lateness, been busy. Am typing post now. And yeah, I'm on one online, cause literally no body I know irl plays it.

Mobile Suit Gundam - Londo Bell's Rising

I'm in a D&D session right now, but I'll post later tonight.

Mount and Blade RP? (Free roam, consistent world, medieval)

I'm down for it.

Mobile Suit Gundam - Londo Bell's Rising

Name: Ayano Mori

Age: 23

Gender:Female

Nicknames/Codenames: Hebi

Genetic Type: Oldtype

Personality:

Due to Ayano being a gearhead for most of her life, she has a tendency to get hung up on the technical side of a lot of conversations about the mechanics of mobile suits, choosing to believe in the raw statistics of machines rather than some "space magic" that people call Newtypes- despite seeing some of these instances for herself.

Out of talking about mechanics, Ayano tries to be relaxed as she can, not wanting to be a constant thorn in the side for her superiors. She certainly possesses the compassion for her team, as well as human life in general. However, she's a bit of a hothead, snapping back at anything that threatens her team or any of their suits- mostly the latter, especially her own GM III. The moment that she feels one of these is in danger, she fights her fiercest to defend them, even if its sometimes unnecessary.

Appearance:

Ayano stands at an average height with a slim build, a decent amount of muscularity showing through her olive skin from all of her mechanical work. Piercing gray eyes stare from under shoulder length black hair, usually kept in a ponytail. A couple scars riddle her body from miscellaneous accidents from working, but nothing especially noticeable or with any meaning. A tattoo of a serpent runs down her left arm, earning her nickname Hebi, or "Snake" from one of her old mechanic friends.

Her flight suit is in a pale blueish color and black, with light gray stripes up the arms. This is from her old unit in the Federation, thought her patches were replaced with Londo Bell's when she was transferred. A smaller version of her tattoo is also stitched on her arm.

Biography:

Born and raised on Side 6, Ayano was only a young child when Zeon attacked the colony in 0080. Naturally, this left a distaste in her mouth regarding the faction. As she grew, the spacenoid fell in love with the technicalities of the mobile suits, and went on to become an engineer for the Federation. Overtime, she longed to use the mobile suits she had worked on for years, and began her training as a pilot, and showed a natural skill for the position. Years later, a transport carrying a set of Jegans in its cargo bay- which Ayano was tasked to maintenance and deliver, was attacked by a rouge faction, using outdated suits- both Zeon and Fed, marking them as thieves, pirates, or something. Ayano, one of the few members of the crew awake at the moment, jumped into a suit.

Things could have gone better, but also much, much worse. As the suits breached the cargo bay, Ayano, along with the three or four other members in Jegans, flew into the thick of battle. The rookie pilot was in the middle of her first skirmish, though against under-average opponents. Seeing no reason for killing, she attempted to simply incapacitate the attackers, rather, she attempted to. Immediately, a Jegan was shot down, exploding under the cargo ship. A bloodlust filled Ayano, and she charged the older GM-II, skewering the chest with a beam saber, incinerating the pilot. Before she knew it, the battle was over, the remaining enemies flying off, and her CO commanding the team back to the ship.

Seeing her skill in live combat, Ayano's superiors pushed her up the ladder some, taking her off of the mechanical team, and onto the combat one. The pilot saw several combat scenarios from the retaliation from the Neo-Zeon forces; a sore-spot for the spacenoid's history from her time on Side 6. Close to the end of the war, barely before the Axis drop, Ayano was added to Londo Bell, once again a rookie pilot on a team of aces.

Mobile Suit:

Type of Mobile suit: RGM-86R GM III (See Fully Armed Mode)

Suit Appearance: From a production run late in the series, Ayano's GM III uses the Jegan's upgraded shield with the twin tube launchers. The suit itself is mainly a slate gray/pale blue color matching her pilot's flight suit. The torso is black, with silver stripes up the arms, legs, and detailing on the shield. The same snake symbol on Ayano's flight suit is located on the chest, opposite side of the Londo Bell symbol.

List of Weapons:

Armaments

60mm Vulcan Gun
A standard armament of the mobile suits that are descended from the Earth Federation Forces's RX series. These head mounted shell firing weapons have a high-rate of fire, but have little power and are generally ineffective against mobile suits; however, the vulcan gun can damage lightly armored areas such as the sensors. These weapons are ideal for shooting down small, fast moving, lightly armored targets such as missiles or small vehicles.

Beam Saber
The standard close range armament for most Federation mobile suits. The beam saber is a small cylindrical device held in the mobile suit's hands when operated and is powered by an energy capacitor that is recharged from special racks. The beam saber is capable of cutting through any metal that has not been treated with anti-beam coating. The GM III is equipped with two beam sabers stored in backpack recharge racks that are taken from the RX-178 Gundam Mk-II's design.

2-tube Large Missile Pod
Further adding to the GM III's offensive capabilities is a pair of hip-mounted 2-tube large missile pods. The missiles themselves are on a similar scale to warship missiles, with a single missile having the potential to destroy a mobile suit. The launchers themselves are allowed a bit of mobility on the hip skirts, but are largely cumbersome with respect to the unit's arms. In the same fashion as the unit's other missile pods, this pod can be ejected at any time to increase the unit's mobility.

4-tube Medium Missile Pod
The GM III can be outfitted with a 4-tube medium missile pod on each shoulder. Each pod has its own targeting camera, allowing for more efficient target acquisition during combat. In the same fashion as the unit's other missile pods, this pod can be ejected at any time to increase the unit's mobility.

Beam Javelin
The GM III's beam javelin is based on the same weapon used by RX-78-2 Gundam during the One Year War. The javelin has a higher output than the standard beam saber, and the beam's shape allows for a greater amount of armor penetration ability. These characteristic allows the javelin's user to destroy a mobile suit with a strong anti-beam coating very easily.

Beam Rifle
The standard ranged armament of the many mobile suits is the beam rifle. The particle beam fired from a beam rifle can penetrate almost any armor that has not been treated with specific counter-measures. The beam rifle used by the RGM-86R GM III is upgraded from that used by the RMS-179 GM II and has a power rating of 2.8 MW.

Harpoon Gun
Designed with amphibious combat in mind, this weapon proved to be very versatile as it can be used while underwater or on land. The disadvantages of this weapon, however are just as great as it only has four harpoons and like most solid round weapons, the harpoons may not be able to pierce deeply into the armor of enemy mobile suits to cause enough damage.

Shield
A basic optional arm-mounted defense armament for many Federation mobile suits. The shield is a thick sheet of armor designed to take severe punishment that would normally destroy a mobile suit. The GM III's shield is made from Gundarium Alloy, giving it greater defensive capabilities. Since the introduction of beam weaponry, shields have been treated with an anti-beam coating allowing it to withstand several beam shots before the coating wears off. Typically physical shields can only take so much damage before they succumb to the pressure and break. A shield can be equipped to either arm of the GM III in order to increase defense against both beam and physical attacks.
As production of the GM III halted with the advent of the RGM-89 Jegan, some GM III units could be found wielding the more versatile shield used on the Jegan.

Mobile Suit Gundam - Londo Bell's Rising

Yeah man, that's what I figured at least. I'm just shooting ideas, its all really up to you.

Mobile Suit Gundam - Londo Bell's Rising

I mean, you have GM privileges, so its ultimately up to you. If we started on Earth, where would the actual plot start? I mean, a SEED Destiny-esqe beginning with an operation on the ground could be a possible way to start it off. That'd give the characters a chance to see each other in combat quickly. Or we could start as everyone boarding the ship as it launches. I don't really know, I'm just kinda throwing ideas out.

Mobile Suit Gundam - Londo Bell's Rising

I mean, The O sells pretty well I feel. And that's why I think we'll get an OVA for it rather than a full series. Maybe they'll do like they're doing Unicorn, and seeing how the first one fares then go from there?

Either way, I'm heading off, I got work in the morning. Take it easy guys. Nvm fuck it. I got time.
