Empire NPCs

Emperor Markis Beloth

• Codename: Scabbard
• Role: Emperor of the Emperor Beloth, Human
• Mobile Weapon: ???
• Background: Third Emperor of the Empire and son of the second Emperor Tristan Beloth, Markis is enamored with competing with his family legacy of expanding the Empire. While he has high expectations and demands, he keeps an ear open for his advisors and generals to prevent any mistakes from impeding his goals. The mobile suit passed through this family was last used in the first expansion campaign, and since been stored away while awaiting repairs.

Valeria Strum

• Codename: Storm
• Role: Advisor of Capital City, Human
• Mobile Weapon:-None-
• Background: While most presume the Emperor to be the head of Capital City, the role was moved to an advisor position after the stirrings of an uprising were spoken of inside the city and the Emperor could not return to quell them. This position which has existed since the first expansion now falls to Valeria Sturm, unusually in that she has not served within the military like many advisors’ lines have.

• Mobile Weapon: CMS-574E Elmeda
• Background: Recruited from the populace around Port Algec, she was recently moved over into the BSF from the eastern front. She’s skilled in melee combat both in and out of the cockpit. While her unit is designed for a commander she is not trained to lead others.

Deryk Orgs

• Codename: Otter
• Role: Centurion in BSF, Newtype
• Mobile Weapon: JMS71 Nobusshi
• Background: Deryk Orgs is one of the oldest soldiers in the BSF and a well trained veteran in his Nobusshi. He’s usually in charge of all units while on mission until recently. His grey hair is the only sign showing his age. While scientists have confirmed he is a newtype he is weak in his abilities, and with his age the army has decided merely to continue his service.

Dr. Charles Edwards

• Codename: Beaker
• Role: Mobile Weapon Appraiser & Scientist, Human
• Mobile Weapon: Neodu
• Background: An intellectual man who was originally in the area of Armen at first, his knowledge and understanding of mobile suits and rocketry have sped him to one of the highest positions in the BSF. He is responsible for categorizing and understanding any new technology and machines brought down from the debris field or from the ground. He also is responsible for handing out and accepting the tickets used in the BSF.

Colonies

Colonies NPCs

Theodore Demele

• Codename: Gardener
• Role: Governor of Cecilia, Human
• Mobile Weapon: -None-
• Background: The oldest member of the council, Theodore is also the most eager to leave his small cylinder and travel between the Colonies’ holdings. He was also the first Governor to step foot on the Moon base, and pushed for Port-1’s formation. While Marie would be called the leader of the Colonies, Theodore would be described as the guide of the colonies for drafting the way to the formation of the Colony Expeditionary Forces and expansion. Now he wishes to return to Earth, and is fervently proposing missions to drop troops to the planet despite concerns of returning.

Alexias Helios

• Codename: Mantis
• Role: Commander of Cecilia’s CEF
• Mobile Weapon: RGM-79SP GM Sniper II
• Background: Joining the Cecilia Expeditionary Forces as soon as he was eligible, Alexias is the most infamous commander of the small military. He has led the most mobile suit sorties, landed on the Moon first in a mobile suit and EVA suit, while also being known for abandoning numerous allies when they have been damaged or simply ran out of fuel during missions. What keeps him in his position are his experience and his accomplishments, as Theodore Demele can not lose such an accomplished leader if they are to return to Earth.

Anthony West

• Codename: Baton
• Role: Lieutenant in the CEF, Human
• Mobile Weapon: AMS-129 Geara Zulu
• Background: A soldier from Side 3 who’s patriotic yet overzealous. He’s usually placing his mobile suit in danger or proceeding away from his squad more often than any other soldier. Despite this his loyalty and commitment have earned him his ranking.

Fanel Kelps

• Codename: Gunner
• Role: Corporal in the CEF
• Mobile Weapon: MS-06JK Zaku Half Cannon
• Background: A soldier coming from the Alexandria colony, Fanel has proven himself well as a marksman in combat, leading to his assignment on a Zaku Half Cannon over what was a normal Zaku I.

• Mobile Weapon: MS-06F Zaku Minelayer

She’s been stationed on Port-1 for 5 years. She also handles the ticketing system for the spacenoids.

What everyone's been waiting for is now here! The profile skeletons! Be aware I will wait for submissions to be posted until I place a couple of characters onto the Characters tab so the NPC have their go and I can set an example. If people want to begin typing both the character and mobile weapons profiles are available at the first page!

Gundam: Ascend to the Stars

@Bell
Ah, indeed, that would be my bad, I'm more familiar with the standard version XD
Only downside is that it is a ground mobile suit so usage in space, while possible, would be difficult. If you use it as an Empire player I can see your character assigned from border duties to the scavenging teams, mostly sticking around the launch vehicles and using its armaments as a turret in space almost. Colony-used it would make sense to be a defense mobile suit.

You'll be able to find space conversion kits during scavenging though.

@veenknight343
It can be or not, your choice. I will allow for characters to repaint their units so completely possible.

@vietmyke
Lol I say play whichever you like for your first suit. Zaku's utility certainly comes in handy while the astray's beam rifle is a nice advantage. I would say at the start the astray is more powerful bc of the beam rifle but you can do more with the zaku as time goes on. There's a reason they still fought on even into the laplace conflict XD

@Shovel

Sure enough! I can say IBO's usage of beam weapons won't be the same and they'll be more usable. If you have any questions let me know, and here's your roll!

ovv-f Gafran
NRMA-006 Gadeel
RGM-79 GM Diving Type

Gundam: Ascend to the Stars

@Bell
The suits there are if you dislike your rolls yes, otherwise I'll role for you;

RGM-79V GM Night Seeker
RX-79[G] WR Full Armor Slave Wraith
EMS-VSX2 Abijo

Gundam: Ascend to the Stars

@Bell
For the rolls yes, the grunt units are a nice set of general purpose suits for consideration(edit: if you do not like your roll result). Unless the roll is extremely bad(rare but happened once) for the start I won't reroll it.

It's an empire in the sense of a collective of states that have banded under a single ruler, this being of the Beloth line I will detail in the emperor's profile. The majority of multiple settlement nations are kingdoms while Beloth was been able to expand to the size of an empire. Empires have to constantly expand and acquire more people and resources to support itself as well so for the theming it was fitting. They are not bad or villainous in the connotation empires usually get, and not overly religious but there is a heavy sense of unity to them compared to the colonies where they are comfortable with same colony people but dislike other colonists.

Overall theme for the Empire was from Rome actually, which constantly expanded its territory while integrating cultures into itself.

Also props for a PS2 nod but enjoy the Wh40k memes more.

@EvictedElementSweet, fuego is good as well but given it's a missile based mobile... suit? Understandable XD Now we just wait for the skele.
