[i]Back in the 1980s, the success of the series Mobile Suit Gundam resulted in an economic boom due to sales of the Gundam model kits, or "Gunpla”, dubbed the Gunpla Boom. In the year 2000 with the discovery of plavsky particles, mysterious elements that can give movement to plastics, Gunpla evolved into a sport and a second Gunpla Boom was spurred, and the creation of special tournaments called Gunpla Battles were established throughout the world to see which Gunpla and its builder were the best. These tournaments are loved far and wide, becoming incredibly popular, and the largest Gunpla Battle in the world occurs once a year and culminates into an annual global tournament, the World Tournament. The current year is 2020 and the World tournament has eclipsed the Olympics as the most viewed event on TV. With riches, fame and glory waiting for whoever reaches the top, people from all walks of life compete.[/i]


[u]Setting[/u]

The story will take place in an alternate 2020 Japan. Along with plavsky particle technology came innovations in medicine, transport, agriculture and very recently AI technologies. The modern phone has combined with GP bases, giving literally anyone with a phone access to Gunpla Battles, and as of 2016 have incorporated a ‘Dumb’ AI that can execute simple commands, but have the ability to interact with most modern machines, including piloting Gunpla. Although only a couple feet, cars and trains have gained hovering ability and planes now use the plavsky technology in landing gear. And holographic technology is commonplace, although unless it is in a stadium it is of low quality. 

When it comes to the sport of Gunpla battles, unless you’ve never played there is some very commonplace knowledge. Like how Gunplas are classified into 4 classes, being Mobile Suits, Mobile Armors, Support Fighters, and Warships. They are also classified by which century they are from, and Gunpla from the same century have certain similarities. Lastly, there are 4 levels of completion; Locals, Regionals, Nationals, and World. 

The story will take place in Shibuya, Japan surrounding the Takemori Arcade, a family run arcade located in the shopping center, and their family friend Naoki Yukihara, a high school junior, as he tries to create a team to go to worlds with him … or at the very least compete in locals with!

I want this to be a casual RP, although I won't stop longer posts. I'd also like to work with RPers for character and story developments. I believe a group of 3 to 5 people would be perfect and I'll make an actual page if we get that amount.

In the meantime for those interested, I have the character sheets finished. When making a character the distributed stats are just for reference and won't necessarily decide the outcomes of fights. Also, there's no need to have all 4 types of gunpla, or any if you want to make your character a complete beginner.
