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.

I think that I might be interested in this.

I'd personally be in favor of using Orb as the protagonist faction, but I think this could be fun regardless of choice.

It's all to the people who want to join this. We can go for ORB/ZAFT/OMNI or even Junk Guild it hardly matters in the end as long as the roleplay gets people to play in it.

Hmmm... Tentative interest if we're going with ORB. Cosmic Era wouldn't be my first choice for a Gundam thing (I'm more of a Future Century and Correct Century girl), but there's lots of fun stuff to play around with in it.

...Just try and keep me away from that one mobile suit with the 150m katana, okay? ^^;

It looks like the general interest is with ORB. I'd prefer going to OMNI since they're able to work with things in a bit more interesting fashion with extendeds and the whole natural vs. coordinator thing. since intersecting ORB Into things will be kind of awkward in because of their neutrality but seeing as Cagali's family isn't likely to be in charge of it is possible. Perhaps a hesitant alliance with OMNI or a sudden sneak attack due to whatever reason against hidden OMNI forces starting a three way war.

Regardless I just want to confirm this: We're heading to ORB right? Not OMNI or ZAFT?

Don't worry my starting gundam is going to be either Forbidden or Calamity.

In all likelihood, I'll see about using a custom Astray.

I love Astrays.

So much.

On topic, I think Orb'd be fun. I'm not all that fond of Earth Alliance or Zaft, since the higher ups in both turned out to be complete assholes.

Sounds cool enough I suppose. Astrays are very strong machines. But it seems Rin would prefer you stay away from their katanas.

Pretty much my feelings on the matter too, really.

That was more a joke of the fact that if I am ever given a Gerbera Straight, my character will suddenly turn into a G Gundam character. And that would just be silly.

I am not going to try and deny anyone the giant katanas though because I am not a killjoy, and because come on, seriously, 150m katanas. Who wouldn't want one of those? XD

Alright just trying to make sure I don't lose players over a single weapon is all. I'll get the OOC up in a bit.

Oh, I'm not even going to pretend the Gerbera Straights aren't glorious. XD A massive strain to the semi-realistic nature of Gundam? Yes. All the more glorious for it? You bet.

But never fear; I wouldn't leave over one weapon anyway. I'm not nearly so petty, especially since I've been looking for a good Gundam RPG for a while. For the sake of my brainstorming process, however, at around what chronological point would this RPG be starting in, compared to the canon timeline?

Well there's also my gundam Those Who Correct but that's in a rather standstill due to personal problems with the people in it in real life. But that's besides the point. This will be taking place around the same time of the canon timeline's start date. Let's say it's July 10th for a specific date.

Yeah, I saw Those Who Are Correct, but I tend to find it difficult to get involved in an RPG that has been running a while already. XD

As for the timeline start, awesome. That makes things relatively easy to work with. Any idea of what the CS will probably look like?

Anyways, guess I need to start thinking up character ideas now. XD

I think Vance said we were starting with the earlier units; the Freedom wouldn't even exist yet, if I understand correctly.
