Upgrade Requests

Have an upgraded mech in your plot? Want to add on some noncanonical weapons to your current ride? Want to get some equipment to turn your character from a 10-year-old doofus into a credible threat in a firefight? This is the post to ask for it.

Reply here with any proposed upgrades. This can be equipment for your mech, an entirely new or modified-into-unrecognizeability mech, or equipment for on-foot fights - anything more complex than an assault rifle on foot should be requested.

The mods will consider each upgrade application and either approve it, or suggest modifications if we feel it's outside the realm of appropriate gameplay additions. Please request upgrades before you use them in character.

Required information

Player alias, the character you are requesting for and the character's canon: Yeah, we can't do anything if we don't know who you are.
New or drastically altered mech: Should follow the same writeup guidelines as on the mecha section of the original app. If you want to upgrade to a mech you already detailed for us in your app, link to it here or remind us that it's in our inbox if you sent it privately. If not, please write a detailed description.
Modifying your existing mech: Just post with a general idea of the upgrades/modifications.
Wacky new guns or martial arts training: Again, give us a general idea of what you're intending.
Temporarily piloting a generic mecha that the White Chalice picked up: Don't need to bother posting here! Just head to Un-assigned mecha and pick one. That's what they're there for.

Special case: Cross-canon upgrades

In some cases, a character might want some ability, weapon, or technology from a completely different originating canon. For example, someone might want to pick up a Nanoha-style magical Device or Kamen Rider henshin doohickey as a weapon for on-foot missions, or add some radio-controlled Fangs to their non-Gundam 00 mobile suit. This is acceptable, and we will approve things that add variety to a character's abilities, but upgrades like these will be given added scrutiny, and subject to a few guidelines:

1) Your character will not be as effective with something from another canon as the characters from that canon. People like Amuro Ray and Nanoha Takamachi are ludicrously effective with their chosen tools through intense training, natural ability, and heavily personalized weapons. You can't just pick up a magic staff or mobile suit and duplicate their abilities.
2) Your character will not be as effective with something from another canon as they are with their own canonical abilities. This is to give flavor, fallbacks, and roleplaying opportunities, not to have a lame mobile suit pilot discover his true calling as a Kamen Rider and give up on his Zaku.
3) Please ask permission out of character from members of the canon you wish to borrow from. They have right of first refusal.
4) Bear in mind in-character restrictions on abilities. You won't become a Gundam Fighter without at least enough super strength to handle the Mobile Trace System, and you cannot become an Otome without the blessing of several important NPCs. Or if you're a man.
5) Don't be this guy. We will ban you, and then we will laugh at you.

Unbirthday | Upgrade | Zeta Plus w/Vector Bits

[personal profile] girlfriend_dot_exe 2013-02-21 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Exactly as it says on the tin. It won't take more than a couple minutes to an hour IC to get Alice integrated into the mecha, but producing the Vector Bits may take some time.

The Zeta Plus fits very well with ALICE's strengths; when she has to she'll be able to disable usual safety limits on the machine to eek out just a bit more performance from it. Under normal operation though, Caulder and his not-so-stellar piloting skills are in command. Alice will only take over for him when things are going poorly.

For now, let's go with just 4 vector bits to start with, mounted on the back.

Roads Blackwell || Canon Upgrade || Final Weapon

[personal profile] sexygodofscienceandwar 2013-03-24 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
Claimh Solais-The Sword of Light. This is a large physical blade, but when turned "on" the edges are made of good ol'd solar magic. It's got the weight and pushback of a physical sword with the cleaving abilities of a beam saber, and uses extremely low energy to boot.

Since it's solar-aligned, it does ridiculous damage to Id Beasts, and should be able to cleave through them like a hot knife through butter. It's most similar to a european longsword, and can be used with either one or two hands. edges on both sides, etc.

In the unlikely but possible event that Roads gets access to LUDICROUS AMOUNTS OF ENERGY, the energy "blade" portion of the sword can become larger, making the sword go anywhere from its normal size to Obari Size to Dancougar-Size. Obviously, this will take a lot more energy, to the point that he can't do even the obari size mode without help.

It was created from what information Roads and Jeremy could glean from the what was left behind when Nicolai's forces looted the last weapons cache, and the small bit of the Avesta that was visible when Sophia broadcasted to everyone.

Zs1/MarKus Haley/Frame Rider Technica/cross(?)-post canon upgrade

[personal profile] armored_runaway 2013-04-13 09:33 am (UTC)(link)
Unit Name: Anti-Kaijin Frame Type-1 "Technica ll"
Fun fact: those are lowercase L's. Yes its the TechnicaLL.

Aesthetically, the Technica ll is 80% similar to the original. Still black, with the red anti-beam coated scarf, and the grey X on its chest, its arms are now more bulky, fitted with additional break-away armor plating, allowing it to defend stronger attacks with just its arms, without losing them so easily.

With knowledge of other technologies, namely the GN Drive and its counterfeit, MarKus has managed to rebuild the Finale Mode from the Technica. It's not any better than before, still granting it a performance increase of 250%. He did sacrifice the 'chest bursting' effect the X mark on the chest, as well as the additional wire-guided limbs in order to increase Finale Mode's duration. It could out last a GN Drive's Trans AM, but not surpass it, in terms of performance output.

In addition to rebuilding the Finale Mode, he rebuilt the plasma canons in the legs, which now need much less time to charge, but they're about 20% weaker in order to fire more often.

The big change, and the meaning of the L in the first place is the new multi-functional Lance (inspired from Leangle). Two of the old multi-functionsl guns have been mounted to an anti
-beam coated metal shaft. Typically the old weapons are set to act as a pair of beam savers, granting him a two-pronged spear. On the other end, a third weapon has been fixed in place to act as a beam pistol. (Technica had four of these weapons, if you recall). The last of them has been left separate so when the spear is disarmed, he isn't left totally weaponless.

Despite his efforts, MarKus couldn't come up with the super science needed to fuse the functionality of the Leangle Buckle with the machine's systems. This is not the day a mecha will henshin.

The Guardian Curtain system should be added to Charl's Rafale, as noted in her app. It gives the Rafale a fancy hexagon energy shield, allowing it to block attacks much more effectively. The armor on the Rafale is also generally improved, so she's a lot tougher-in show it has her tanking one of Silver Gospel's bombardments without much trouble.

Roux Louka | Gundam ZZ | New Unit

[personal profile] glemy_magnet 2013-04-22 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
Now that we got past Zeta and now into ZZ, I think this can be viable now. Especially since poor Zeta's scrap ATM.

New Unit: MSZ-009B Prototype ZZ Gundam Type B (ver. UG@)
Unit Description: The MSZ-009B Proto ZZ Type B is the second unit of the Prototype ZZ series. Where the original was designed to test the ZZ's combination mechanisms, the Type B was designed to test out how its beam weaponry holds out. The unit just screams "Double" as all of its weapons come in twos - the Double Vulcan, the Double Beam Rifle, the Beam Cannons which double as Hyper Beam Sabers (which can double [and more] in size) and the Double Hi-Mega Cannon, two basic powerful Mega Cannons that can be fired at the same for a devastating attack. It can also take up a G-Fortress Mobile Armor mode that can only use the Beam Cannons for attacking.

As a prototype and for testing its amazing beam weaponry, it doesn't utilize the combination mechanisms that the early Type A or the later full production ZZ uses, so its pilot's safety is not assured. As well, so many beam weapons can be a massive drain for its battery.

For the game, it's gonna use the Bio-sensor to see how it would handle with someone like Roux.

Air: B (A in G-Fortress)

White Chalice | Cross Cannon Upgrade | IDS T-X01 "Clementine"

[personal profile] girlfriend_dot_exe 2013-04-28 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
New Unit: IDS T-X01, "Clementine"
Unit Description:
An experimental tank, developed from technology lying around and the two tanks stolen during the Tritech Labs incident.

Clementine hits hard. It mounts two powerful railguns as its primary weapons on a single turret. It has two six-shot missile launchers, one on either side of the main turret. On top of the turret a smaller pulse laser turret is installed for interception of enemy missiles and point defence.The railguns can both adjust slightly independently of each other, making them able to fire at the same target at pretty much all ranges. The missile launchers, for their part, can be aimed upwards to intercept enemy aircraft.

Clementine is fast. It has a minovsky generator to provide prodigious amounts of energy, letting it zip around at high speeds. It has a series of fans taken from a Dom, allowing it to actually become a rocket-propelled hovercraft and travel over calm oceans. Lastly, a set of rockets mounted on the underside let it jump over a dozen meters into the air.

Clementine is tough. Its fairly average armor for its size is bolstered by a bright-orange Phase Shift Armor system, making it nearly impervious to physical weaponry. It is still weak to energy weapons, however.

Clementine features an offshoot of ALICE, a non-sentient AI that helps out with aiming, driving, and defends against electronic warfare attacks. It's not up to her standards, but it's very good. Alice can control the tank to a limited degree remotely, but she'd need to have the White Rabbit box hooked up to the tank if she wanted to operate it at her full skill. Clementine also features an all-black leather interior, and general interior design that seems more fitting for a sports car. It has room for two pilots, a driver and a gunner, but can be operated by one in a pinch-it just might be a bit difficult to handle designating targets for all the weapons at once, is all.

All together Clementine is a very nasty piece of work, and probably the king of all tanks in its size class.

It's still just a tank, though.

Note: Clementine will remain an unassigned mecha.

Neptune | Hyperdimension Neptunia V | Small Amendment to App

[personal profile] alwaysmyturn 2013-04-29 01:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Not really an upgrade, but just getting this cleared up since I derped and forgot to put a more detailed section about her normal form's weapon in the app. Better to be safe than sorry because I don't plan to have her transform for a while.

Yes, I was going to go with a Wooden Sword for the lulz, but that wouldn't really be effective against most UG@ foes, even if enhanced by magic. It's still a hilarious idea though, so maybe she'll grab one from the Chalice gym later on as a joke weapon to use for a mission or two.

Non-transformed weapon: Machine Sword - Neptune
Weapon Description: This is a blade created using Planeptune's latest technology, with an appearance and name suited to its wielder. It boasts amazing durability, cutting ability and sharpness with its beam-coated edge - more than good enough for a human-sized weapon. When Neptune transforms, the traits of the blade are enhanced further.

Kamille Bidan | Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam | New Unit

[personal profile] zetahatsudo 2013-05-11 02:34 pm (UTC)(link)
With the end of Zeta Gundam canon (and the Zeta gundam little more than scrap) it is time to move on to the next step in the Zeta line.

New Unit: MSZ-006 Ver.K Zeta Gundam Wave Shooter Equipment Type
Unit description: Aesthetically speaking, there isn't much difference between this version of Zeta Gundam and the original. The big differences come in waverider mode with thermonuclear jets on the legs for improved atmospheric flight, as well as variable wing geometry for better turning and a sleeker look overall.

There isn't much difference in weapon loadout either. It's the same Hyper Mega Launcher, the same grenades/wire grappler, the same beam rifle, the same beam sabers--Hell, the only thing of note is that Anaheim sent along a Beam Axe to replace the one lost in battle against Scirocco. However, the Axe has to replace the HML when deployed, as it uses the same 'equipment slot' for transport in Waverider mode.

All said and done, it's still Zeta Gundam... just Altered slightly

Patrick Colasour l Gundam 00 l Cross Canon Upgrade

[personal profile] immortalfrenchie 2013-05-12 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks in no small part to Kamille, Patrick is pretty much going to recieve the a modified Delta Gundam. Given his history of completely leaving his MS in ruins though, it'll be a wonder to see how long this one lasts.

New Unit: MSN-001C Delta Gundam Colasour Custom
Unit Description: Originally a shelved design in favor of the MSN-00100 Hyaku Shiki, recent developments (payment and design schemes) had allowed the Delta to be reassessed and developed.

The Delta is a highly mobile design, with additional speed thanks to the waveroder mode. In regards to defensive measures the suit itself is Gundarium (not Gundanium Plot Armor) Alloy, reinforced with a liberal amount of Anti-Beam Coating.

In term of armaments the Delta is relatively lightly armed. Head Vulcans, a pair of beam sabers, an Anti-Beam Coated shield with a built in Beam Cannon, as well as a Beam Rifle - said rifle being modified with an attatchment and given a setting to turn it into a makeshift beam spear in the event that the sabers could not be drawn in time (As a GN Lance or Shot Lancer could not be incorporated into the design without it being unwieldy, this was a reasonable compromise).

That being said, while it is a Gundam - it is still a Prototype model. Data from the Hyaku Shiki's engagements as well as the Zeta may have improved the original design, but there is still a long way to go before the design can be fully realized.
