Year 70 of the Cosmic Era: Tensions were mounting between Earth and the ZAFT organization. Due to the Bloody Valentine Tragedy, these tensions suddenly escalated into a full-scale war. It seemed a foregone conclusion that the Earth Forces, with its superior numbers, would be victorious. But these initial assessments proved to be false: almost 11 months have passed since the conflict began... with no end in sight. The escalating conflict has caused endless strife amongst the populaces of both sides with the exploitation of coordinators being a major point in this war. Most coordinators look down on the naturals whom 'plague' the Earth while the coordinators are being discriminated against for not being 'purely bred'. It is these discriminations that continue to fuel the war while other factors play tribute it is mostly a war of discrimination. However a number of elite pilots have been chosen for one goal: Destroy the other side. With tensions running high Earth is developing mobile suits to combat the GINNs of the ZAFT alliance these suits are G.U.N.D.A.M.S and they will provide a new and more deadly trail that this war will inevitably head down. --- A quick FAQ What is Mobile Suit Gundam SEED? Mobile Suit Gundam SEED (機動戦士ガンダムSEED (シード) Kidō Senshi Gandamu Shīdo?) is an anime series developed by Sunrise and directed by Mitsuo Fukuda. As with other series from the Gundam franchise, Gundam SEED takes place in a parallel timeline, in this case the Cosmic Era, the first to do so. In this era, mankind has developed into two subspecies: Naturals, who reside on Earth and Coordinators, genetically-enhanced humans capable of withstanding the rigors of space who inhabit orbital colonies. The story revolves around a young Coordinator Kira Yamato who becomes involved in the war between the two races after a neutral space colony is invaded by the Coordinators. Are there newtypes? Yes there are but they are weaker than UC newtypes and much fewer in number. Can I play on _____'s side instead. We will do a majority vote on which side we will fight on be it neutral ORB, Earth, or ZAFT. You will not be able to play on the other side with a character minus a possible NPC if you request it. This is to prevent the roleplay from getting overheated in arguments over suit powers and to prevent people from not being able to post. Can I play a civilian at the start? Yes but he or she needs some sort of quality to allow him or her to pilot a suit. Amuro and Kira both were techs who could easily figure out how they worked for example Can I play a grunt suit instead of a gundam? Go ahead but don't complain if a coordinator pilot in a vastly superior suit smashes you into small pieces because the suit is garbage I.E MP GINN and Daggers and Mobius Zeros. What are the differences between coordinators and naturals? Naturals are weaker in almost all aspects but are born just like any other modern day humans. Coordinators are genetically altered super children whom are heavily discriminated against on Earth. Are Extended allowed? Only with yes but only if we pick Earth What generation suits are we using? Season one only until we advance into the roleplay Can I play a coordinator on the side of the Earth? Yes but only if we pick Earth to fight on the side of. Can I play as a natural in ZAFT? Yes but it will need to be explained how the predominately Coordinator ZAFT allowed you to join. Can I play with Raider, Calamity, or Forbidden? Go ahead Canon characters? Allowed if you insist but heavily insisted that none be in this this will be a mostly non canon roleplay. Can I have a custom gundam: Maybe but it must have a base on a existing gundam in Cosmic Era.
