@Silverwind BladeA quick question? Why allow the Pale rider if it has HADES unless the system was overhauled to just be a simple boost to performance. A reminder that the HADES system literally drives its pilot insane. Also unless I'm mistaken all the Pale Riders were destroyed.

There's enough ambiguity and wiggle room to allow for one Pale Rider (at least) to have survived from what I read about the mobile suit on the Gundam Wiki. And in discussion with Tate he's asked it to be equipped with EXAM instead of HADES, and I said 'sure' with the caveat that it'll come up as part of the story later, considering that EXAM is powered by pure evil in a can the captive soul of a Newtype.
I mean, I'm going to go with the idea that it's not common knowledge that's a thing, so our characters likely wouldn't be aware of that right away - which makes it an interesting plot point to deal with when it comes to light.

@Silverwind BladeAnother thing though gundam.fandom.com/wiki/Marion_Whelch is said to have been freed from the Exam System meaning it'd be inert in all likelihood. Unless you want to keep her trapped in that hell for the sake of the story.

Yeah, I'm aware of that - I used to have the manga, in fact.
I'm going along the lines of someone else - who, clearly knowing it does as such is evidently an evil asshole - uses the research to re-create the system using another Newtype. TBH, I don't want to go into too many more details, as it'll start giving all of it away, and there won't be much of a story to uncover otherwise.
But yes, I am aware of the origins of the system and the nature of it, don't worry. I appreciate the input, and that you're trying to help, but I have done research, and am aware enough of canon to know a few things. And the ones that I don't know, well, I'm deliberately either leaving them out, or making my own thing out of it if it turns out not to work for what I have in mind. After all, this is my game, not the canon. The canon is just the starting point for our story.

Fair enough I just wanted to make sure you were aware of the implications.

It's all good! I appreciate you having enough of an interest to point out things like that.

@CaptainBritton Putnam looks fine to me, no problems with him whatsoever. Looks like he'll be an interesting addition to the group, and I love the Jesta too.

That's the minimum number of characters I wanted to hit for us to begin, so I'll get to work on an opening post to get us started by the weekend.

I do, thank you. Was unpleasant, but I got a lot of rest, so feeling better today.
I'm currently working on the IC post to get us going, should be up shortly. Thanks for your patience, and that goes for everyone else, too.

OK, first post in the IC is up. It's not a lot yet, but it sets the scene and gives everyone a chance to sort of introduce themselves in character with what's going on. It's obviously set up for some impending action, but rather than jump in, I thought we'd have a moment of breath first to establish things, and then dive into a brief fight to get things exciting.
Once the first rounds of posts is done - no need to worry about post order - I'll throw up another one. If I don't have a full set by next weekend, I'll jump straight into moving things on, and whoever missed out will have to play catch up.

@mattmanganonLooks excellent to me, feel free to add him to the characters tab, and then dive into the IC!

Thanks everyone for the IC posts so far, good to see things flowing and characters in action. Keep 'em coming and I'll keep things moving as soon as I can too.

@TateNo worries, my dude. Not a rush at all, as I like to keep things casual rather than formal. This is supposed to be fun after all xD
