It is the post disaster era two hundred and eighty years after the disastrous event known as the calamity war that ravaged man. Since then the human homeworld known as Earth has come into a sense of prosperity with multiple government groups, and operations running the Earth Sphere. Humanity has advanced towards a new era as Mars has been colonized and terraformed to fit well with human habitation. The majority of military operations has since been on the look out for radical terrorists fighting for their own ideologies while waging a political proxy war on the side various noble families vying for more strength to unite various groups under their own power. Mercenary groups have sprung up all over space causing large scale conflicts by the most powerful groups under the employ of various trade factions looking to assassinate people to gain an edge, or simply to send a message.
People born, or sent to space without some sort of wealth are seen as sub-human. Human debris. Many saviors have risen up and most of them forgotten due to either forced scale downs, or them being ineffective at preaching their message. However as a side effect of many of this many have been able to obtain mobile workers, and weapons as the trade control in outer space is poor at best. Out of the rubble however there seems to be forming a large scale resistance movement against the Earth Sphere lead by a strong willed young woman named Annabeth Montgomery. Though the future of the movement seems to hinge on her many are working towards making sure humans in space are not forgotten about.
Despite this however there are mummers and rumors going around that the colonies around Earth aren't exactly happy with their situation either. Used as toys in the hands of the nobles of Earth and Gjallarhorn, the group responsible for ending the calamity war. Whispers of a group of Grey clad vigilantes supported by the populace and hidden are becoming all to common. Gjallarhorn themselves are even starting to take notice as crime in the colonies and in populated Earth cities are becoming more frequent than expected and some even believe there are people in Gjallarhorn themselves that work for them. This supposed group is also said to be led by a visionary man who proclaims himself as the savior of the Earth Sphere and agent of justice. His claimed intent is meant to rip apart Gjallarhorn and their supporters and rend Earth's governments asunder to give control back to the people as the current system is by far to cluttered, and muddled in a swampy mess of political games.
Gjallarhorn themselves however seek to preserve the peace so hardly won by their predecessors. Many of them are strong willed people who want to protect their families, their way of life, and their charges, the people of Earth. Just as many claim their fighting for peace, and safety for humans on Earth as there glory hounds, and noble preservative groups. Elite squads are already working out rooting out the dissidents on Mars, and in the colonies however they are finding little to no luck in this fight. Disgruntled with their lack of progress, and annoyed at being bogged down with red tape many of Gjallarhorn's finest are preparing to take operations into their own hands under the name of one of the Noble Houses. The House of Vandervelt a legacy family from the starting days of Gjallarhorn who intend to right the wrongs set on Earth and restore peace as best as they can without getting caught up in any political incidents. Despite this however many claim that war is inevitable if one, if not two of these factions rise to power.

Hello everyone I'm hoping you're still interested in this after looking at the above plot synopsis. My intent is for us to play one of the above factions. Either Gjallarhorn a group of reformers seeking to restore what was once a great organization, the mysterious grey clad vigilantes from the colonies (based, loosely, on the black knights of code geass), or the space movement on Mars which will consist of personal friends of Annabeth, or military contractors not unlike Kudelia's movement in the actual show.
I would like to keep this limited to one faction. Getting everyone split up into different factions will end up leaving the plot messy, or clunky and hard to follow. So if you're interested please comment down below which faction you want the group to play in. If you're fine with any of the above just say so. I don't have much of a plan for the Mars Movement however the Grey Rebellion will start off as a small time group of terrorists who evolve into a multi-national powerhouse that threatens Gjarllarhorn. Meanwhile the aforementioned Gjarllarhorn will be us trying to get rid of the political corruption inside all the while playing a complicated chess game.
Mars, and Gjallarhorn will have more mobile suit action. The Grey Rebellion will start off more stealthy before they gain the means to openly oppose the earth feds. A noted difference is the Mars group will have limited technology at the end while The grey rebels will gain a massive tech boost once they gain a foothold on Earth.
I'm keeping things as tied to canon as possible when it comes to machines. So please try to find a suitable machine from the gundam wiki that you want to pilot if you wish to be a pilot. HOWEVER not all of us have to be pilots. You can be a foot soldier, or a supporter as well. Not everyone in Iron Blooded Orphans are fighters. Anymore questions about the roleplay are relegated to questions below. I will answer to the best of my ability.
I am specifically looking for people who can type more than three sentences for a character. minimum is one and a half paragraph. Personality, and bio when the game is chosen should be fairly fleshed out. This is used both as a way to make sure your character doesn't stray away during the rp, and a show that you're capable of posting actual posts and not two off sentences.
In regards to the colonies rebels They will start off with the lowest tech gear out of all of them seeing as they're basically under gjallarhorn's thumb. However they will receive high quality tech upgrades later in the rebellion due to links, and more of the sphere following them into their war effort. Gjallarhorn will have a consistent high tech gear advantage but will likely remain stagnant in terms of manpower, and the Mars Movement will start with worn but combat effective gear, and suits and will only receive minor tech upgrades. In other words Gjallarhorn > Mars > Black Rebels early game, Gjallarhorn /=/ Black Rebels > Mars Movement late game tech, power wise.
If this does not get any support I may cut this down to casual.
