@Letter Bee
Okay, this we can work with. But! Instead of a separate system, I think the limiter on the Alaya-Vijnana system has already been tampered with. The previous pilot had a reckless idea of heroism.
And I'll give you this too: Ipos has some mark or emblem of the Issue family(I don't recall if there is one in canon, but we will act as if there is)
@FlappyTheSpybot
I absolutely agree. I think we'll cap it at five gundam pilots, actually. Although, if anyone wants to join as another sort of character(maybe a mechanic, or a ship pilot), I will allow other players.
As to the character: so far so good, but I'll chime in again when it's done.

@Letter Bee Yeah, you're welcome here. The character is good, the gundam has a problem. The EAFS wouldn't be something installed in a gundam(or probably any mobile suit). The gundams were made late in the Calamity War, for the express purpose of fighting the rogue mobile armors. I just don't see anyone thinking that putting AI in one is a good idea, considering AI driven machines caused the whole mess.
The spear, yeah.
So what I had in mind was a spear and shield in conjunction, the spear head would have a charge of fuel in it, and could either detach on command, or else be launched by thruster(though without any guidance).
The shield would have a rotating rack of spare spear heads on the inner side of it, so that it can re-arm the shaft as needed.
So yeah, spear with rocket head, a few differences in the exact execution, but very similar ideas.
You don't need to change it, I can definitely use something else.

You have no idea how close your weapon is to the one I was gonna use lol.
The only thing I would say is that the Graze would also have an Alaya Vijnana system. Obviously that's not standard equipment for it, but the pirates would want to make use of it(that's exactly why they want disposable child soldiers, after all). I only mention this at all because you specifically listed it for the Gundam, but not the Graze, and I wanted to make sure there was no misunderstanding.

Try two days lol.
My post is basically ready to go(I need to edit the end of it to reflect the scene he walks into at the bar), but like I said I wanted to go last.
If there's any reason I shouldn't sit on it, or if anyone else knows they(or their character) will be later, let me know and I'll drop the post right away.

Cool!
So I'm going to start working on a proper intro post, but in the mean time I leave you with this:
You are human debris. Slaves kept(illegally now, as the practice has been outlawed) as disposable mobile suit pilots aboard the Mercurial Witch(little easter egg there). The ship flies in a pirate fleet called the Jolly Rogs. Though this is a shortening of Jolly Roger, the name is pronounced with a hard G.
There are eight total human debris pilots, four free pilots, and six human debris who work in the engine room and hanger as mechanic's mates.
You've all had the Alaya Vijnana surgery twice(anyone who can't withstand two rounds is too weak even to be a slave of theirs), and pilot a rag tag selection of mobile suits(you may choose any mass produced suit that existed by the end of the series, it doesn't matter that much since we'll be swapping early on).
You are generally kept in line by starvation, and also by the threat of explosive charges in the cockpits of your mobile suit. The charge is just enough to kill a pilot instantly, without causing too much damage to the suit.
You are generally treated cruelly, but there's a woman(older girl, really) among the free mobile suit pilots who is kinder, she goes by Carrot. She used to be human debris, but "earned her freedom," as the story goes.
Her opposite number is The Bosun, the leader of the Jolly Rogs' MS fleet, who is cruel and harsh.
The captain is known as Brun(short for Brunhilde, pronounced broon), but you've barely(if ever) even seen her.
I will want to know what your original mobile suit came equipped with, though, as they might be used for spare parts later on, so it would be good to have that nailed down.
CS will be dead simple:
Name:
Appearance: Since this is anime based, use an anime or manga styled image, or else a description. Feel free to use a combination of both.
Age: don't make me regret this, but I won't set a limit. Just be prepared to justify yourself if I question it.
Background: There's a good chance they don't have much, but tell me where they came from and how they got snatched
Personality and Reputation: What are they like? What are they known for amongst the crew?
You'll need two for MS sheet, your original and the Gundam that you will receive.
Mobile Suit:
Name:
Frame:
Appearance: (a picture that fits the IBO mythos, if you please. Custom model kits are actually a great source for this)
Equipment: (keep this consistent with the lore, but with the gundam version feel free to get creative)

Okay, we'll try it as a link.
It's someone's custom Reincar model, I've seen others though, so that might be a good way to find a reference you like.

Unfortunately the Gekko manga was never officially translated into English, and the only fan translations I can find only go up to chapter 4, so I don't have a strong idea of what happens in it(I'd love it if you would prove me wrong on this, because I've been wanting to read it).
So obviously the more the merrier(up to a point), but if both of you are willing and able, I've had very successful three person RPs before.
Let me go into what I expect:
I'm not a stickler for post size, and in fact I think in a lot of situations in an RP, longer posts actually make a lot less sense. So if you're wondering if reading posts and writing responses will be a whole ordeal, don't because it shouldn't be.
I'd rather have a short post that moves the story than a long post that details every aspect of your sword swing.
I'll be stricter on lore, but all that really means is that if you goof(or if I do, I don't remember everything and might forget something important) you'll have to make an edit. I'm not gonna be mad if you mix up ahab reactors and alaya vijnana systems.
If you're willing to make this a collaborative project, I'd love it if you take initiative, and I'll accept anything you include in a post(including NPC actions and important plot events) unless I have a very good reason not to. And in the latter case, we'll stop to discuss what is happening in the story so that everyone stays on the same page.
If you want to claim a name on that list, feel free. I know we haven't finalized a decision to move forward with the RP, but if there's a name or number that calls to you, say so now.
@FlappyTheSpybot@Martian
And Martian, you said you had an urge to write a mobile suit fight, but it's been a while since uou saw IBO, I'm not trying to be an ass, but remember that the mobile suit combat in IBO is pretty distinct in comparison to the other shows in the franchise. It's mostly melee combat, and there's no beam weapons to speak of. In gravity, they usually stay on the ground too. Not a lot of flying around except in space(though there will probably be a lot of the RP that takes place in deep space).
