@DragonofTheWest I'm very much interested in this story and have an idea for a character already! I really like the setting of this single island with so much power that it can scare kingdoms.
Occupation: Second Year High Schooler at Zenshin Private High
Appearance: His jacket is an Iori Shopping Center brand one and the Japanese kanji writing on his is hood and back spell out "Iori Shopping Center"
Personality: Good-natured, and overall friendly, he often acts overly blunt with people and causes trouble. He has a habit of happily saying “Imagine it!”, with a smile on his face. He is an optimist who believes nothing can be achieved through idleness and has an almost disgust for those who take inaction when they want something, although he rarely shows it. He also has a tendency to daydream and often uses those daydreams to draw up inspiration for gunpla.
Background: Naoki was born and raised in the heart of Shibuya, raised by his grandfather who was a former architect and instilled a love for building into Naoki at a young age. Born into a moderately wealthy family, he lives in one of the apartment complexes on the top floor. At a young age, Naoki would meet his childhood friend when moving into the center, this friend would introduce him to the world of gunpla building. Years later his love of gunpla has given him 3 goals in life; to one day create his “Ideal” gunpla, to participate in a “Battlogue”, and to become the next Meijin Kawaguchi.
If anyone decides to do an in-depth research into Naoki they’d learn that 3 years ago he was a part of Team Domino, last year's current runner-ups, and former Nationals Champion, although he was under the stage name Aznable at the time and wore a costume as Char Aznable. This fact is rarely known these days.
Stats: - Battle sense: 2 - Perception: 4 - Mechanical knowledge: 4 Other Skills: - Proficient Builder, Naoki has a lot of experience with building and even has access to a 3D printer that he creates custom parts with. - Versatile Pilot, Naoki has piloted a number of gunpla and can very comfortably pilot most gunpla regardless of type. - Excellent Spatial Visualization, Naoki is proficient at mentally visualizing opponents movements and is able to keep track of enemies in his blind spots as well as figure out positioning through sensor data alone.
Description: - A reinforced GM that’s been upgraded using the chest piece of a Unicorn Gundam, the GM was created with the purpose of allowing Naoki to work on experimental concepts. These include the GMs NT-D system, Magnetic Soles, and more importantly its experimental 3-D printed weapons, all of which have reduced size but standard power output. - This GM has gone through multiple sets of armaments but currently is designed for warship defense.
Armaments: - 60mm Head Vulcans - Beam Saber - 2X Small Missile Pods - 2X Double Barrel Gatling Guns - Anti-Ship Sword - 2X I-field Generators - Magnetic Soles - NT-D System
Name: Graze Customized Model: EB-06 Graze/OZ-06MS Leo/MS-06 Zaku II Kitbash
Stats: -Power: 6 -Defense: 6 -Mobility: 6 -Energy Output: 5 Description: A regular Graze that has had its forearms and hands replaced with that of a Leos and the backpack being from a Zaku II. The Graze Custom has been repainted, with the chest and head colored light blue and the arms and legs colored black. This gunpla was built during the beginners event as a demonstration and would later be upgraded with additional weaponry and boosters from its second battle onward. Armaments: - Battle Axe - A close range short axe that comes standard with the Graze. - 120mm Rifle - A high accuracy, high utility rifle that comes standard with the Graze. -Nanolaminate Armor - Reduces damage from Beam Weapons.
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.
Our story starts in Shibuya, Japan surrounding the patrons of the Takemori Arcade, a family run arcade located in the Iori Shopping Center, and their family friend Naoki Yukihiro as he tries to create a team to go to worlds with him … or at the very least compete in Regionals with!
Setting
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 Official 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. - Gunplas are classified into 4 classes, being Mobile Suits, Mobile Armors, Support Fighters, and Warships. - There are 4 levels of competition; Locals, Regionals, Nationals, and World. - Regionals and Nationals are all team events with Worlds being the only mostly solo event. The Locals format varies from individual tournament to tournament. - Gaining invitations to higher-level tournaments requires either results in the immediate lower-level tournament or, for regionals, a win in a gundam sponsored event. -Battloges are recorded battles between the current Meijin Kawaguchi and a challenger of his choosing.
Locations:
A 6 story shopping center located in the heart of shibuya. The first 2 floors are dedicated to commercial stores, a variety of clothing and electronics stores litter the area. The third floor is dedicated to foods, with the center housing a pretty famous coffee shop and the south side even having a small grocery store. The fourth floor is split in half, with the west side being occupied by the large Cinema with the east half housing the Takemori Arcade. The arcade holds a small variety of games, tables and booths to relax in, and even a small store that sells Gunpla which is run by the owner; however the arcades main attractions are the 5 Gunpla battle stations that house 4 plavsky hexagons each. The remaining 5th and 6th floors house both economic and luxury apartments, respectively that offer discounts to shop owners. Truly, the Iori Shopping Center is it’s own community. When big battles occur, the monitors around the mall that usually show commercials and news stream the battles for all to see.

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.
