So exactly how do the alignment heirarchy work out? I'm confused on that. I'm seeing Chaotic neutral and such. Is there something like Principaled good or what?

No no no! Actually you would probably do a much better job than me. I haven't had the time to actually sit down and write the story.

[SIZE=1][COLOR=Blue]Hmm. And here I was actually about to do a Gantz rpg ^_^;; I'm pretty interested in a Gantz rpg. It would be interesting.[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkSlateBlue][B][U]Name:[/U][/B] Zechariah Peichl [B][U]Side:[/B][/U] Vatican [B][U]Race:[/B][/U] Acridiae [B][U]Skills:[/B][/U] Swordplay, Sharpshooting, Symbolism [B][U]Biography:[/B][/U] A devout Catholic, Zechariah was born and raised in Ireland but his parents both being Acridiae moved back to Rome when the vampires started to pose a threat in the holy city, Zechariah was only 10 at the time. For the next twelve years Zechariah trained with his father and some of the other Acridiae. When he was twenty-two Zechariah went out on his first hunt. It had started out as a boring night but then changed when he and his father came to a dark alley in Rome's "red district". A vampire posing as a tourist had attacked and started feeding on a prostitute. The vampire had taken off and eventually led the father and son pair into a small ambush. They both fought off the beasts and came out unharmed. It was exhilirating for the youth. The adrenaline, the screams of the beasts as they were destroyed, and the satisfaction that these creatures of the damned were being punished. However when he was 26 a terrible thing happened. Zechariah's father fell to a vampire killed the man and the fight became a personal vendetta for the young man. To this day he tends to take unnecessary risks. However he does get the job done. here's a link to what Zechariah looks like. [URL=http://img247.imageshack.us/img247/2757/demianqj8.jpg]Here is what he looks like[/URL][/COLOR][/SIZE]

I heard about it this morining, I really feel bad for his family. I mean his daughter is only what, six or so and his son is like 3 or 4. I really feel bad for Terri too.

[SIZE=1][COLOR=Blue]Genjii watched as Relyk led two women back towards the group. He'd already introduced himself to Sakura and he was pretty amazed at her power. She really didn't have the appearance of someone who had been playing the game for a long time but when Genjii had seen her touch down near the group he was surprised. The two had been chatting while White looking at his sword that he had just gotten. "So who's this Sigfried fellow?" He asked rasing an eybrow. "I've never seen a weapon this nicely made it seems almost like it was." "Yes, he made it with a seperate program and then was able to import it in via a pirate program." Genjii said bluntly, "But I doubt that you'll mind at the moment that sword is actually pretty powerful and will help you immensley in the coming quests. I mean how do you think I go this kind of weapon?" With that he pulled back the side of his coat and pulled out a katana. When White though looked closer at the blade he noticed that the sword was a pale blue and had some type of runes etched into one side while the other had waves etched into it. "What kind of sword is this?" White asked a little surprised. "This is possibly a high level sword and yet you already have it?!" Genjii shrugged and took the sword back. "I'll explain some more to you once we get going. Right now I think Relyk looks a little unhappy about the blonde woman eyeing him like some sort of crazed stalker or killer." White chuckled, "Yeah I guess you're right though he always has that look. But we should go introduce ourselves to the others and then I guess we should get going." "Its about time, I've been slightly bored with just sitting around waiting." Sakura said as she stood up and stretched . The three went met Relyk and began introducing themselves.[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]"Sounds like an interesting quest there eh?" Genjii said from behind the two people who had just listened to Gorfenlopp's tale and quest. The two turned around and looked at the boy with a look of mixed annoyance and curiosity. "Just who the heck are you?" The tall guy in black said turning with a slight glare on his face. The other one went back to looking for some quest items while saying with his back towards the guy eyeing Genjii, "He's Relyk and I'm White. I take it that you've taken the quest as well right?" Genjii nodded and extended his hand towards the guy in black. "I'm Genjii, is it all right with you guys if I join your party? I'm a water faction fighter and I think I could be of use for you." Gejii said hopefully. The guy in black looked a little distasteful but the other guy walked over and returned the gesture. "I'd be happy if you'd join us. A water fighter eh?" Genjii nodded, "I can show you some good armor if you'd like." White nodded and Genjii started showing the guy some good merchants to buy from. When they were finished Genjii and White met up with Relyk and Genjii held out a large rucksack full of items. "I think we only need to buy a few other things and then we'll be set, though I don't know how much you guys have item wise and such."[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[B][U]Skill Level:[/B][/U] Caden has been playing the game since it first came out for the home system. So he's in the mid thirties level wise.[/COLOR][/SIZE]

I like the first version its really what I was looking for. Simple yet pretty interesting looking. Thank you ^_^

[SIZE=1][COLOR=Navy][B]Name:[/B] Caden Horley [B]Age:[/B] 28 [B]Gender:[/B] Male [B]Place of Origin:[/B] Chicago, Illinois of the former U.S.A. [B]Known History:[/B] Caden was born into a usual 20th century middle class family. His mother worked as a RN at an inner-city nursing home and his father was a sales rep. for a fast food chain. Life wasn't that bad and Caden was always taught by his parents to be kind and not to pre-judge people. He lived by those rules all his life. When he enrolled in High School he tried out for the school track team and made the cut. During all four years he was on the team and was one of the team's greatest sprinters and relay race runners. During his senior year he started dating a new transfer student and the two were inseperable. They went practically everywhere together. Caden's parents were glad that their son was happy with this girl. When Caden found out that they both would be attending college together he couldn't have been happier. College was a totally different experience. The classes were harder, time seemed to fly by faster and being on the track team seemed to take more time away from Caden. He and his girlfriend basically got to only see each other during the weekends, of course this was only the first year. The rest of Caden's years at college weren't as hectic and his full time job as a secretary at an office was paying decently. Finally during thier last year of college together Caden finally proposed to his girlfriend and she accepted. They both told their parents and they were married after they graduated from college. Caden getting his masters degree in High School education and his wife with a Masters in Biology. Right after they returned from their honeymoon Caden was offered a job at his old High School. He accepted it and started work immediately. However at this time Caden had started to hear about things called Hybrids but he really wasn't focused on that. He was more enthralled with his new life. One December evening he and his wife went to sleep together except when Caden woke up he was not home in his bed but instead was in a totally different place with a small note welcoming him to Paris 2. [B]Personality:[/B] Caden is a pretty humble kind of guy. He never pre-judges anyone and always believes there is some kind of good in everyone. However if someone has really ticked him off they'll know it but not because he yells at them or hits them. He just gets really quiet and seems to emit a kind of feeling that sends a shiver down your spine. But generally hes a nice guy to get along with. [B]Appearence:[/B] Caden stands about 6' 3" and is decently muscled with a dark tan from those years of running. Some people think he looks a little lanky because he's not extremely muscled. His hair is a light brown and his eyes are an emerald green. He usually wears a pair of jeans with a Polo like shirt or a pair of shorts with a T-shirt. [B]Animal Genes:[/B] Arabian Horse [B]Hybrid Abilities[/B] [B]Strong Endurance:[/B] Ignoring his light frame, Caden is able to carry a slightly larger amount of weight than some other people. This is due to the Arabian being able to carry large weights despite their small frame. [B]Faster Running Speeds:[/B] Caden is able to run faster, at about twenty-five miles per hour Caden is capable of holding this speed for about an hour. [B]Quicker Reflexes:[/B] Like the Arabian, Caden has higher reflexes than most people and is able to even manuver while he is running at his top speed.[/SIZE][/COLOR] [SIZE=1]OCC: Sorry if its rushed James. The Bio just was givng me some trouble as were the abilities.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=Navy]No Sam Goody is still around in some malls as is Suncoast. Anywho, one of my friends is letting me borrow Last Exile. Its pretty interesting so far though I'm only on Disc 2 and like the second episode I think... Maybe the third... I can't remember.[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=Navy]Ummm.... I don't have cable. However I think I can buy Last Exile at a nearby store that's owned by the branch of Sam Goody/Suncoast. The DVDs will probably be thirty or so, I don't know but I know that Best Buy and Hastings don't have the series.[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=Navy]Nah Dagger, I really don't have a problem with CG effects in an anime. Heck Gundam SEED did it, it was noticable but they did it, and it wasn't that bad. So I might end up giving Last Exile a chance.[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=Navy]Well, I was talking with one of my friends and he said [I]Last Exile[/I] was a pretty amazing series. I was just wondering though are all the DVDs out for that yet or not? Gah! So many series to choose I'm having a hard time deciding! :animecry: [/COLOR][/SIZE]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=Navy]Hey all! I'm saving up some money so that I can start getting into another anime series. But I'm having a hard time on deciding between [I]Witch Hunter Robin, Mad Lax, Please Twins,[/I] or [I]Get Backers[/I] I've heard good things about the first three and I've read the Get Backers Manga and I'm really itching on getting the anime. However I'm confused on which one I should get. Thanks for your suggestions etc.[/COLOR][/SIZE] PS -Sorry mods if this is in the wrong forum.

Personally I like the upgrade I guess you can calle it that to the Gummi Ship games. Its what the original one should have been like. Also, I love the reaction combo stuff, its really fun ^_^ I'm currently heading towards Agrabah.

Personally I would shop at Best Buy or Hastings. They're also just the only stores around that sell anime cheaply. I mean $19.99 probably isn't all that great but still its cheaper than what freaking FYE is wanting...

[SIZE=1][COLOR=Navy]After having rested awhile longer Kazuma finally was able to find his legs and was able to walk around. However Kysharr still followed him around like a mother following her infant as it took its first steps. Kazuma though had been given some clothing that Kysharr had been given by the Indians when their tribes had parted ways. When Kazuma stepped outside though he realized that the tent he was on a hill and to his right was the Strike. The gundam was seriously damaged, the facial armor on one side had been torn off from the impact and one of the arms had been broken off. To his left Kazuma saw what was San Antonio. The buildings were mere husks, the glass had long been destroyed and several of the towering skyscrapers were missing part of their walls while some of the smaller buildings had been totally decimated. There obviously wasn't any human activity, but nature had reclaimed the land. It was like looking at a city that had been nuked or something but the skyscrapers had survived the fallout blast. "Kysharr, you never answered my question. What year is this?? When I was in space San Antonio was still intact!" Kazuma said turning to the woman; his eyes showing a large amount of fear in them. "Your time is correct, but you're over a thousand years in the future." Kysharr said as Kazuma sank to his knees on the desert ground. "I don't understand...It just...It just doesn't seem real. I've got to find my friends." Kazuma said as he stood back up and headed towards the Strike. He opened the cockpit and started typing away at the OS keyboard. Most of the operational systems had been severely damaged and re-routing power from other systems was not optional. "Dammit! I can't get this pile of fucking crap to move! I can't even divert power from other systems because they're relying on what power is left to even function. Wait.." With that he started to divert the main flow of power to the Phase Shift Armor to the movement system. When that was finished, Kazuma tried to move the Strike and me managed to get it into a sitting position but after that the legs wouldn't move and started to buckle. "GOD DAMMIT!" Kazuma cursed as he slammed his fist down on the keyboard. Kysharr hollered to the pilot. "I think you've done enough for now young one. Get down here and we'll try to help you find your friends!" But Kazuma wouldn't listen just yet. "Fine, I guess there's nothing else to do until I can repair the damn thing." With that he climbed out of the Strike and looked back towards the once bustling city of San Antonio. "Wait.... Is anything there in San Antonio??" Kazuma asked as he turned back towards Kysharr. The Simvan shrugged. "I do not know. If you want to go I suggest you go tomorrow with a party of our warriors. So you can have protection, plus going in the daylight will make it much safer. Now, come back into the tent so you can get some rest." With that she led the boy back to the tent. On the Archangel however Captain Ramius was not doing to well. She'd been climbing around some more ducts in the ship to help repair the damaged systems then she'd care to have counted. Her mind still slipped back to the incident in Chi Town. A lot of the junior officers had asked why they'd opened fire on people who were trying to aid them. When Ramius had explained the situation to the crew they were horrified. However Ramius' mind had been put to ease when she saw how well the Gundams performed against the Coalition forces.Though it was a complete slaughter for them the Coalition would eventually get better weapons. Especially since Ramius could remember seeing an Earth Alliance ship on the radar before they went into the atmosphere. When Ramius finally finished her rotation working with the engineering crew she headed to her quarters to take a fast shower and changed into a clean uniform. As she walked back onto the bridge one of the comm officers spoke up. "Captain Ramius, I managed to hack into an orbiting satellite and I was able to get these photographs near Germany." He handed her the photos, there near a large and intact city was the Earth Alliance ship and what she could assume was its Gundam unit. Ramius could feel her stomach drop to the floor but her face didn't show it. "As long as they're in Germany we're in no real danger, that is untill they get their bearings and find us. Then we're in real danger. Ensign keep us on course to Texas. We have to find the Strike and then head for a safe haven to get repairs." Ramius barked as she slid down into her chair and rubbed her forehead. This day was just getting better and better. After a few minutes of sitting there in her chair watching the sky go by she felt the urge to do something, she stood up and headed towards the door. "If anyone is looking for me, I'm heading for the mess hall." With that she walked out and towards the lift. When she reached the deck the mess hall was on she had to step around and over some crew members fixing the systems on that level as well. The entire ship was estimated to be working within thirty percent of its potential. That was a number no captain wanted to hear. Basically they were limping around like a stuck seal in shark infested waters. However the crews had been working ever since they crashed to get the ship up to full functioning status. Patch jobs were not accepted at this point in time. Chief Murdock had been getting on his MS tech crews because they still had all of their supplies Orb had givent them and the supplies were enough to repair ten Gundams if needed. So the Gundams were getting full repairs and then the Archangel was using up its reserves of replacement supplies and it would get the job done. But that was going to take a couple of days. Ramius finally snapped out of her thoughts when she entered the mess hall. A few of the junior officers stiffened slightly but eased up when she just walked by to get some coffee. After she'd gotten her coffee she walked back towards the lift and returned to the bridge. When she returned she saw that they were now passing over another decimated city. "Its really pathetic, makes me think that we lost the war and the Coaltion is a more dangerous version of the Earth Alliance." The helm officer said out loud. Ramius couldn't help but nod. "But ensign, these buildings are too far damaged to be from our time. We didn't have the capability to do this. I think this has happened within the last one hundred to two hundred years. I seriously doubt that this was a direct result of us disappearing from our timeline. This is really depressing. Can we at all bypass this?" Ramius said but the ensign shook his head as Ramius sat in her chair and rubbed her forehead again. She just could hope that Kazuma was all right. The Earth Alliance on the other hand had met better faces. These people were citizens of Triax. Triax is a large city located in Germany but they are technologically advanced, if civilization as it was known before the great catlclysm happened had survived it would have looked like Triax. The military forces greeted the Earth Alliance forces and escorted them to the base that Triax had. The ship was guided their by some of the larger aircraft that Triax had. When was all said and done Triax's military genrals met with the commander of the Earth Alliance ship and they came to an agreement. The Earth Alliance ship and MS would recieve repairs and the commander would give Triax the technology to create a Gundam along with its weaponry. While repairs were going on the crew of the Alliance ship was allowed to visit the main city and explore.[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Hmm. Well, personally I loved SEED, I thought the story was well made and done. THough some might disagree *fears the wrath of Qukey* However I loved the original Gundam as well before CN got their hands on it. I'd gotten the movies on VHS and they were only english dubbed, no editings etc. It was freaking amazing, Bright had a british accent, Sayla had a germanic accent, among other things. I just loved the series. Zeta was one of my favorites though it was a tight spot with G-Gundam (since I chose my SN from G-Gundam.) I really loved the story for G. I mean it took the Gundam name to different heights. It introduced a different style of piloting the suit. 08th Team had some of my favorite songs on it, mainly the opening and closing songs. What I'm trying to say is that all the Gundam series stand alone with their own type of personalities. SEED is different because of how it started off instead of with a colony being dropped or w/e the freaking colony was nuked! I mean when have you seen something like that in another Gundam series?? That whole incident was the fuel to the fire in SEED and I just loved the series. Destiny though... Blech, Shin is a wuss and I really dislike him. I mean it was just...GAH!! It was painful.. The only thing that I've liked about SEED are the mech designs along with the ships. But yeah. I don't think the franchise is getting stale, its just they haven't made another series yet. Personally it'd be interesting if they went backt to the UC at all and made a new series. Dear god that would be awesome![/SIZE]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=Navy]Rain; that?s all Kazuma heard as he came to. His eyes adjusting to the dim lighting in an enclosed room. Kazuma looked around and noticed that he was not in the cockpit in the Strike. Instead he was laying on a type of bedding with a fire roaring in a pit nearby. He sat up and could feel that his pilot suit was not on. Instead he was sitting in just his boxers and his ribs had been wrapped up in bandaging. When he tried to stand up he fell to his knees. His body screaming in pain. When he tried to stand up again a humanoid looking woman came bustling in. Her face thought was animal looking and when she spoke her mouth showed a large row of sharp teeth. ?Dammit child! You?re not supposed to be up yet running around. You?re still suffering from your wounds.? Kazuma?s had a look of terror on his face. The woman, who was a Simvan looked at Kazuma with a slightly amused face. ?I guess you?ve never seen one of my kind eh? Well you can trust me, you?re in safe hands. By the way, my name is Kysharr.? The woman helped him to his feet and guided Kazuma back to the bedding. When he was laying down again. He could still faintly hear the rain, the storm had seemed to have calmed down. Kazuma realized though that something was wrong though that?s when he finally asked the question that had been burning inside him. ?What year is it? I remember coming through some sort of rift and seeing Earth but it had changed. I remember it being Cosmic Era 81 when I entered into combat. What year is it now though?? Kazuma said with a little bit of anxiety lacing his voice. The Simvan woman chuckled and handed him a bowl of some kind of stew. Kazuma took a sniff of it and about gagged on the smell. ?Just what in the hell is this!?? He said as he still reeled from the overpowering smell. Kysharr sat down next to Kazuma and held him steady. ?Now, you might not know this but we Simvans are cannibals. However my tribe and I have changed our ways. We live off the land and are close friends with the Indian tribes of the west. Their mystics have taught us ways of growing massive amounts of food from the dessert. But what you have in that stew are herbs from our own home world. They possess a type of secretion that has the capability to heal internal wounds. Drink this and you?ll feel better.? Kazuma looked at her warily but did as he was told to and drank the disgusting liquid. Almost as soon as he had he could feel another effect the stew had on him, the drowsiness. In the meanwhile, Captain Ramius had gotten a full damage report on her ship and the three remaining GUNDAM units. The Blitz had sustained hardly any damage, the Savior and Assault on the other hand had sustained some serious damage to some of their weaponry systems and were being repaired at the same time as the ship. Everyone had pitched in to help get the ship fixed. The engineering team though was having the hardest time. The engines just wouldn?t cooperate and activate. Instead they would sit there cold and not even turn on. Weapons were just as bad, almost all of the missiles had been rendered useless because of the Electromagnetic Pulses that had torn through the ship when they passed through the rift. One of the positron blasters had been fried and was out of commission. All of the gottfried cannons were in decent condition. Other than that the ship was getting repaired at a decent pace for landing in the dead of night. However today was different. The sensors had come back online and detected a huge group of vehicles headed towards them. A long range scout had seen that the vehicles were coming from a large city that had been built at least five miles away from the ruins of Chicago. When the vehicles had finally arrived Ramius, Sakura, Zanto, and Haruna were outside in their uniforms ready to greet these people. When the lead jeep came to a halt a man who appeared to be in his thirties climbed out. He wore a black uniform with an insignia that read Coalition States Military Intelligence Division. Ramius walked forwards, her hair was slightly disheveled because she had been crawling around in some ducts trying to get some cables connected and such. However, the man who greeted her was very polite. ?Hello, I presume you are the captain? I?m Lieutenant Leonard. I?m with the Coalition States.? He stuck out a hand in greeting and Ramius shook it. A sign of good faith from the only people it appeared to be in this area was the one big thing on her mind the moment. ?Yes, you?re correct. I?m captain Murrue Ramius and these are some of my officers. Ensigns Kimishino, Mikaeru, Akatsuki. My first officer is currently busy helping my engineering crew get our engines back online. Can you tell us what exactly happened to Chicago? I?m still somewhat confused. You see, Chicago was still a rather large bustling city in our time.? Lt. Leonard nodded and guided the group towards his car. ?Just come with us to Chi Town and we can discuss this among other things.? Ramius nodded in agreement and the three pilots followed her onto the Lt?s car. When the convoy of cars finally arrived at Chi Town they were inspected by a group of officers in their body armor. Ramius was slightly put off by the fact that they looked like walking skeletons, but the pilots seemed interested in the design. When they entered the city though, they were hit with a cruel reality. This didn?t look like a paradise, in fact they were on one of the lower levels of the city. ?Oh don?t worry about this, we?re going on up once we hit the vehicle elevator. ? ?But Lieutenant. These people are suffering! Why does this place look so slummy?? Ramius said with concern in her voice. The Lt. Chuckled at her question. ?My dear captain, I?m sure that from wherever or whenever you come from there are things similar to this.? Ramius looked him straight in the face. ?Sorry Lt. But where I?m from we don?t treat humans like this. Our society is much different from this. The people who did things like this are our enemies because they eradicated?.? Just then they drove by some coalition officers lining up a bunch of people, including children and then they opened fire on the group and murdered them. ?WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!?? Zanto yelled aloud as he saw the group of corpses being dragged away or kicked around. Ramius could feel her lunch churning around in her stomach. ?Yes Lieutenant please explain that to me. Why did you just kill people including children!?? The Lieutenant smirked lightly and in a cold voice explained. ?Those people were mutants, psychics, and magic users. They are impure and must be eradicated. The coalition is about preserving the human race, not allowing these monstrosities to exist.? ?It sounds like something Adolf Hitler would say if he were still around.? Ramius retorted at this man?s casual way of responding to something so terrible. ?I want to go back to our ship?Now!? The lieutenant took the group back . When they arrived back at the ship and the jeeps had left Ramius had a senior officer meeting including the pilots. ?All right, you three pilots just saw what the coalition is like. We are not to allow them near this ship. As soon as your suits are repaired I want you out on patrol, destroy any of their units that get too close to this ship. Chief Murdock get the engines online as soon as you can. We?re leaving here and heading for Texas where the Strike crashed. If you have to bypass every single other type of system to get the damn things running do it. But I want weapons because I think that the coalition will not let us leave this easily.? Ramius of course was right. After dropping Ramius and the pilots back at the ship the lieutenant reported to his superiors what had occurred and that they should try to restrain the ship from leaving. After getting approval from the emperor himself, the lieutenant lead a group of power armors and robots into a suppressive attack on the ship. However by this time the mobile suits had been repaired and had launched. When the lieutenant saw the sheer size of the suits he ordered the larger robots to the front to act as a buffer for the rest of the forces. ?Dammit! Captain Ramius! The coalition has sent a small force after us, though their suits are much smaller than ours. Can you get the ship up soon??? Sakura asked as she flew the Savior over the group in its mobile armor mode. ?Stall them for about a minute and the Archangel will be up and running by then. Also, get out of the way, we?ll be firing the Lohengrin to get them off of our tails.? Sakura then transformed her suit into its mobile suit form and started to open fire on the coalition forces. The battle didn't last very long, most of the power armors were obliterated in an instant and the taller robots that were about thirty feet tall were destroyed shortly under three minutes. However a Fire Storm Mobile Fortress tank began to open fire on the Archangel. Ramius opened a channel to the pilots. "Get out of way pilots! The Lohengrin will be firing now!" As soon as she'd said this the pilots got their suits out of the way and the positron beam tore across the battlefield and obliterated the forces. Also, the leftover of the beam tore into the outer wall of Chi Town. The wall buckled and collapsed in. However the five other walls remained intact. As soon as the beam faded the super tank was nothing more than the giant treads and the Archangel was now leaving at the maximum speed it could achieve at this time. The suits had also docked and the pilots climbed out and headed for the bridge where Ramius was already pacing. "I just hope that Kazuma is still near the Strike and that it landed somewhere safe in Texas." With that she turned towards the pilots and walked towards the door to the lift. "You all need something to eat and some sleep, I suggest you get it done soon because I'm sure the Coalition will be tailing us. What we just did was an act of war practically." With that she walked out of the bridge leaving the pilots behind.[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=Navy]Okay, as I said in the opening post for the recruitment thread. This strays quite a bit away from the regular Gundam plot line. Also I mentioned the rpg starts off after some serious battles and immediately after the Archangel crashes on a different Earth. Basically 10,000 years in the future. Now, I'll explain about some of people, places, terms, etc. Here are a few of the major ones that we will be dealing with automatically. [B]What happened during this time lapse?[/B] Is probably going to be a major question that will be answered right here. Basically, the battle that the Archangel was involved in was the catalyst in the beginning of the end for ZAFT, Orb, and the Earth Alliance. The earth based forces of ZAFT were outnumberd and only Orb was able to help them with secret supplies shipped to them from Onogoro Island. But in the end it was all futile and the Earth Alliance forces overtook ZAFT, murdered millions, destroyed the technology for the creation of Coordinators, and established a totalitarian state of order. However after fifty years of this, a resistance started and overthrew the government and all the countries established their own democracies. With this happening new technologies were discovered and created. One was the creation of the Power Armor, the first to create this was the United States. Their PA was about 10 feet tall and performed exceptionally. London on the other hand had developed a type of police force similar to that of Minority Report except the psychics were officers. Also a large 'utopia' city had been created to eventually lead the future generations into the next thousand years. This all changed two years later. On Christmas Eve strange lights shot up into the sky all around the world and then the Ley Lines appeared. They tore through cities unleashing unnatural horrors upon them. New York was devestated just by the force of the lines. Rome was attacked by hordes of demonic beings who ravaged the landscape. St. Louis' arch became a direct gateway to hell and demons among other monstrosities were spawned from this vile place. All human existence there is gone. Japan was sucked into a temporal rift and disappeared. Cuba sunk into the waters of the Gulf of Mexico and in its place rose Atlantis, the lost contienent. After about a hundred years of this, what was left of humanity started fighting back and winning. Germany now had two large industrial kingdoms established, the New German Republic and Triaxes. Russia was able to recover amazingly. Japan reappeared. America spawned several kingdoms. The Federation of Magic, The Kingdom of Lazlo, Free Hold, Iron Heart, and Chi Town.. Now, how did magic come about? When the Ley Lines appeared people started noticing that they were gifted with powers. Some of London's psychic police officers started noticing that their powers were much stronger and came to them more naturally. And certain people mutated into magic users and started to understand the art of using it. This was the foundation for the Federation of Magic. The Main Kingdoms we will be dealing with.. [B]Chi Town and the Coalition[/B] The Coalition is a militaristic kingdom ruled by an emperor, or more like a dictator, named Carl Prosek. He has based most of his methods off of Adolf Hilter and considers psychics, mutants, and magic users to be foul and impure so anyone found using magic or the likes are killed on sight or tortured to death. This has been rumored but its been said that this has even occured to children as well.. The Coalition a few weeks before the Archangel crashing, declared war on Tolkeen and any of their allies. The Coalition also has a Texas base called [B]Lone Star[/B]. They have the biggest army to date in North America, next to Free Quebec. [B]Free Quebec[/B] is the only Canadian kingdom. They are very independent and have the largest Power Armor army in North America. Their mainstay of Power Armors are called Glitter Boys. Thes PAs are extremely powerful and have a devestating Rail Cannon called The Boom Gun. This weapon can take down half a battalion in one hit. Also, if a Glitter Boy were to be hit by a hand carried laser rifle, the laser would be reflected. This is due to the highly polished armor. The armor really isn't polished but its extremely shiny and the material is a chrome like material. Only Free Quebec has the technology to build a GB power armor. [B]Tolkeen[/B] are basically the guys we are going to like. Though they are magic users they are going to be the only ones who can really help us. But they are also in the crosshairs of the Coalition. Their ruler is King Creed and the council of twelve. [B]Federation of Magic[/B] is basically the entire east coast they are pretty much a recluse kingdom but they loathe and hate the Coalition with a passion. They even went so far as to kidnap Prosek's wife. [B]Merctown[/B] basically stands over the ruins of Paducah Tennesee. Its a rather relaxed kingdom mainly full of, you guessed it, mercenaries. However they have their principles and will not hire out to the Coalition or any of their allies so they basically will work for Tolkeen or any of the good guys. Really this is all I can honestly think of at the moment, if you have any other questions just feel free to post them and I'll answer them.[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=Navy]Great sign ups everyone. I'll be getting the Underground Thread started up soon. Also, everyone the Gundams are going to have N-Jammer Cancellers installed on them. All will be explained in the Underground thread.[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=Navy]It is Cosmic Era 81 and the Earth Alliance forces have been systematically forcing neutral countries on earth to join their side or the have eradicated them. Razing all of that country?s forces the only country that has proven to put up any kind of resistance is the Orb Union. But this is mainly because they have the capabilities to build massive amounts of mobile suits, along with ZAFT the have been able to put up a strong fight against the anti-coordinator group Blue Cosmos that has taken over the Earth Alliance. However, Orb has not only constructed another massive mobile suit army. They have rebuilt the Archangel and four stronger versions of the Generation Unrestricted Network Drive Assault Module weaponry suits. Also named GUNDAM by some of the people who have piloted earlier versions such as Kira Yamato and Athrun Zala. These four weapons have a technology called Phase Shift armor which is something not new to the soldiers of this time. However three new GUNDAMs have been constructed without the Earth Alliance knowing. One was rebuilt for Kira Yamato?s sole usage, the Freedom Gundam has been rebuilt and is being re-fitted with new technology that has not been disclosed. Also two other models have been built but their specifications at this time have not been released to even captain Ramius of the Archangel However, a shuttle that was transporting one of the suits was lost in some sort of freak accident. The officials of both Orb and ZAFT declared it lost in action but a search team was launched and they didn?t find debris of any kind. The only thing that team found was some sort of residue that could only be determined as some sort of plasma that might have been from a passing phenomena. When the Earth Alliance finally tried to attack Orb again they succeeded in breaking the front lines and launching an attack on the main cities, however most civilians had been evacuated to one of the neighboring countries which was held by ZAFT. Only a few people remained. One was a young boy named Kazuma Shizuka. He had been on his way to the last ship when the Earth Alliance forces broke through. The first target was the port where the ship was still docked. Over a thousand civilians were killed in the blast. The only other place Kazuma could think of was the military base. He?d managed to hot wire a car and head there. In the meantime two other youths had the same experience and had headed for the military base. What they found there were three GUNDAMs prepped to be loaded onto the Archangel. The pilots had been at the port trying to get people onto the ship safely and were among the dead. When the three youths showed up they were told to get onto the ship. However as they were about to a GUNDAM developed by the Earth Alliance showed up and started to open fire on the one GUNDAM that was operational. The pilot was still getting used to the Operating System or OS and was taking heavy fire. The three youths all being experienced with one version of an OS or another climbed into the three suits and somehow managed to pilot them into combat. They were capable enough to drive the enemy GUNDAM away and protect the pilot of the GUNDAM codenamed Assault. When all was said and done the four were taken into the Archangel?s hangar. Kazuma and another of the youths were found out to be coordinators while the third was said to be a Newtype, a person that is the physical embodiment of human evolution. The three were allowed to stay on board the ship as pilots for the GUNDAMs. Some of the older crew members joked that Captain Ramius was acting like she did when she first took command of the Archangel by letting kids like that Kira Yamato stay on board as pilots. With the Archangel fleeing from Earth Alliance forces, ZAFT sent as much help as they could to get the ship into space so that it could meet up with Kira Yamato, Lacus Clyne, Cagalii, and Athrun. The four were staying on one of the PLANTs to oversee a diplomatic understanding with the Earth Alliances. Truth be told the talks were not going very well. The Earth Alliance diplomats couldn?t do much because they had been branded as sympathizers to the colonies and their agreements were vetoed by the Earth Alliance?s council on each and every matter. In fact the Earth Alliance had considered a plan much like Patrick Zala?s and were wanting to construct a weapon like he had but aim it at all the colonies and wipe them out in a single hit. When the Archangel finally landed in Africa in ZAFT controlled territory with a space catapult they had suffered damage to the ship and Kazuma had gone into a catatonic state and would not snap out of it. However the base?s technical crews were able to fully repair the damage done to the ship and mobile suits and within 48 hours the ship was prepped to launch into space. But the Earth Alliance forces had found the ship and had a small fleet in orbit over the Archangel?s coordinates. When the ship launched and entered space they were immediately engaged in combat. However this time around Kazuma came out of his semi-coma and launched into combat. During the fight he took down at least 10 suits on his own and then began hand-to-hand combat with the Earth Alliance?s GUNDAM. However just as the two were about to go flying further away from the ships an enormous spike in energy occurred and a temporal rift tore across the battlefield engulfing the Archangel, the five GUNDAMs, and one of the Earth Alliance?s ship?s. The rest of the combatants were annihilated. Also at that moment another rift appeared and whisked away every single colony. The trip for Kazuma and the others including the crew aboard the Archangel was interesting. The rift though tore some of the Archangel apart, part of her hull was ripped off and some of the systems were fried. When they finally came out of the rift all of them were surprised to still see Earth. But something was different. The earth no longer had millions of lights instead huge blue lines of energy streaked across the surface like veins. Only a few clusters of lights could be seen b y the pilots and crews of both ships. Just as the crew of the Archangel were getting their bearings, klaxons sounded and they realized they were going straight back down into earth?s atmosphere along with the four GUNDAMs. The Assault quickly changed into its mobile armor mode and provided a lift for the Newtype?s suit. The Blitz Mk II managed to land in the undamaged launch bay and climbed back into the hangar. However the Strike, which Kazuma was piloting, was too far away from the Archangel and was plummeting straight for what was the Texas area while the Archangel and the three other suits were heading for what was Illinois. The Archangel was able to get the landing sequence initiated but some of the gel would not spread over the bottom of the ship and those parts were immediately evacuated just as the hull started to buckle and tear. When the ship finally pierced the atmosphere it was on fire in multiple spots while the Assault and the other GUNDAM were scorched in s pots. The Blitz?s pilot had managed to close the hangar bay doors before the ship went down. However the group weren?t out of the woods just yet. Instead of being able to land the ship properly the helm officer couldn?t get control of the ship and the Archangel instead crashed into the remains of old Chicago cutting a swath of destruction as she tore into old buildings and skyscrapers. It finally came to a rest at the foot of the Sears Tower. The Strike on the other hand took a nose dive straight into the outskirts of old San Antonio and Kazuma blacked out from both the crash and he was injured during the landing. During this whole time the Earth Alliance group managed to come out with less damage and were able to carefully land on Earth near a rather modern looking town in Germany. Once they?d landed they were greeted by the natives. Mainly the military members of the New German Republic. Having been explained the situation on earth now and that the Germans has managed to track the Archangel and Strike down to earth with their military observational weapons. The Earth Alliance requested their ship get repaired along with their mobile suits. Okay as you can see this is something rather different and straying away from the major aspect of how the colonies are oppressed blah blah blah.. Anyways, what has happened is that the pilots have been whisked away to what Earth would look like in 10,000 years in their timeline. A lot of major cities like New York, Paris, Rome, etc have been wiped out due to those lines of energy. Those are called Ley Lines and contain various properties. Also, supernatural things have occurred on Earth during this time. People have mutated into different things including powerful psychics. Magic is common in places, Dragons roam the skies, demons emerge from rifts in St. Louis, Vampires roam and rule Mexico, Gargoyles plague Germany. Atlantis has arisen anew near where Cuba used to be. Welcome to Rifts Earth, this is based off of a popular table top rpg etc. Anywho I?ll explain more in the underground thread. Here are pictures of the gundams that will be in use for the majority of the rpg.

[B]Name:[/B] Kazuma Shizuka [B]Age:[/B] 19 [B]Gender:[/B] Male [B]Coordinator, Natural, or Newtype:[/B] Coordinator [B]GUNDAM:[/B] Strike GUNDAM [B]Bio:[/B] Kazuma grew up on the PLANTS with his parents but by the time of the Bloody Valentine incident Kazuma and his parents had moved to Orb to escape the oncoming war. However the war dragged on and eventually did hit Orb soil. But he was able to escape with his parents to another neutral country that was able to hold out against the Earth Alliance. When the final battle was over with he returned to Orb with his parents to continue his schooling. Eleven years later Kazuma was living on his own with some friends and comepeting in junior mobile suit competitions. But now the stakes have been raised, the Earth Alliance has now bared its fangs again and are waging war on nations neutral and ZAFT alike. All of them have practically fallen except for a few strongholds. Orb has not been touched due to the damage they inflicted to the Earth Alliance the last time around, though even that threat didn't last very long. When the Earth Alliance attacked they didn't waste their time and razed everything to the ground. Mainly civillian homes etc. The last ship that was to transport civillians to a ZAFT controlled country was destroyed by the Earth Alliance's GUNDAM suit. Kazuma was supposed to have been on that ship but a few delays stopped him, but his friends were on that ship and were killed. When Kazuma had gotten to the peir he saw one of his friends in the water. Not wasting anytime Kazuma dived in and swam towards the girl but she had been seriously injured. Getting her out of the water Kazuma managed to hotwire a car and headed for the military base. That's when he saw another GUNDAM launching and meeting the Alliance's suit in combat. When he got in front of the Archangel an officer grabbed him by the arm and grumbled about twoe other kids, one of them already launching in the Savior. When Kazuma had gotten his friend to the sick bay he ran towards the hangar and noticed that the tech crews were prepping a GUNDAM, namely the Strike. When he asked the tech chief if there was a pilot he was told that there wasn't and they'd need to try to find one. Kazuma pointed out that he is capable of piloting a Mobile Suit he was allowed to launch with the Strike. The rest is history. [B]Personality:[/B] Kazuma is a caring person who doesn't fight like a punk or like a sissy. He fights for his principles and what he believes in. He usually is pretty calm and relaxed but if he's riled up he is pretty snappy and quick tempered. However he really doesn't brag about being a coordinator.
