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.

Corel/Nanoha/Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha/Modifying Existing Equipment?

So in Nanoha A's Portable: The Gears of Destiny, this little white devil gains an additional super-beam attack accessible ONLY in Full Drive/Excelion Mode called Hyperion Smasher. In effect, it is a suped-up Divine Buster, and apparently replaces Divine Buster as the long-range bombardment option while in Full Drive (Excelion Buster being a mid-range attack).

The interesting thing about this move is that Nanoha actually twirls Raising Heart overhead while charging it; creating a small pink tornado effect that repels incoming light projectiles (stronger ones will still hit her) and smacking human-sized opponents that try to melee her from the front in the process.

Aero/Miki/Idolmaster Xenoglossia/3 episodes from the finale upgrade

Robot Name: Nebula Ziehdraht
Robot Description: Nebula after...some things happen to him. While most of the frame stays the same the important difference is that the two meteor punching fists are replaced by two very large set of wire guided claws. The Ziehdraht increases Nebula's combat ability drastically due to both of the claws being able to increase the amount of gravity used when attacking. It is able to easily wipe out the hundreds of the mass produced iDOL Epimetheus just by launching the claws and emitting a shockwave. For solo combat Nebula can also focus the gravity to the point where a punch from a single Ziehdraht was able to break through the Faustschlag equipped Imber's Gravity Shield.

Camiu/Kamille/Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam: A New Translation/Modifying existing Mecha

This idea's been in my head all day today, and I want to get it down here before I lose it, even if I won't see it in action for a good while yet

Robot Name: MSN-006/11-L Zeta Gundam Lambda mod

Robot Description: Not to be one-upped by the Gundam Projects GP-01-fb, Kamille comes up with a way to further increase the overall speed and mobility of the Zeta Gundam with the use of 4 specialized 'fin-boosters' that can be attatched to the outer side of both legs. More streamlined than the Full Vernian's Universal Booster Pods, these boosters are based on a prototype 'fin-funnel', the folding design of the fins allowing for finer control of thrust output and angle without adding much mass, while also being able to rotate on an axis to further increase control. Unfortunately, as it is an add-on module, the fin-boosters are attached rather weakly, and would likely fly off if used in the atmosphere. Thankfully, because it is an add-on module, the Zeta Gundam doesn't have to stay equipped with it should it sortie on the earth.

Drascin/Samus Aran/Metroid

This is basically the first of many, many upgrades. I'm going to be bothering you guys here a lot.

For Samus, the Varia suit needs to absorb or copy external technology for its upgrades. I have been talking with Arach, and we have decided that Zweilitch could be a pretty good source for the Light Suit and the Light Beam. Reference image.

This would be a new mode for Samus's suit. It's somewhat more frail in terms of shields than her basic Varia, but it increases her speed noticeably, and renders her extremely resistant (to the point of ignoring lesser rank attacks entirely) to any attacks based on darkness, toxicity, or black hole weaponry of various kinds. Moreover, it allows the suit to accumulate light as a kind of capacitor, rev it up by circulating it through Samus and charging it with her own spiritual strength (incidentally making sunlight in particular regenerate her strength a bit as it does so. It's not going to regenerate a wound instantly, but can be a second wind after a hit), and use the empowered light energy as a Light Beam that causes extreme damage to dark-based enemies as well as barriers of all kinds. While in this mode, though, she will lose access to some of the upgrades that will come later, such as Dark Beam, as well any functionality beyond basic given by other suit modes - the games may allow it, but in here, no Gravity and Light at the same time!

Shaun/Tsukasa Kadoya/Kamen Rider Decade/Addition to Power

In this thread (http://srwug-alpha-rp.livejournal.com/224404.html?thread=1#t13692564) Tsukasa through the power of friendship when is he ever NOT doing this gained Attackride Street Saber Strike which is a three slash attack performed at high speeds. I humbly request to add it into his list of active cards.

It can also be performed like this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FrkF2txmE4

Roux Louka/Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ/Unit Upgrade

Unit Name: RX-178 + FXA-05D Super Gundam
Unit Description: The original RX-178 Gundam Mk-II, while an amazing mech, was actually light years behind many units created following its capture. With light armor and basic weapons, the Gundam Mk-II was just that - a Mark-II. To fix that, a support craft was developed called the FXA-05D G-Defenser. The FXA-05D G-Defenser is essentially a special flight craft armed with support weapons. However, when docked with the RX-178 Gundam Mk-II, it becomes the powerful RX-178 + FXA-05D Super Gundam.

Beyond the Mk-II's regular weaponry, the Super Gundam uses the three main weapons used by the G-Defenser: two 14-tube Missile Launchers, 4 Vulcan Cannons and the powerful Long Beam Rifle. The unit can also turn into a Mobile Armor mode called the G-Flyer, allowing the Super Gundam to fly alongside the Zeta Gundam and other flying units and still be able to use the G-Defenser's weapons. Because of these new additions, the Super Gundam gains a 20% increase in maneuverability, armor (thanks to the fact that the G-Defenser is made of Gundanium) and firepower.

As a note, seeing as Kamille's upgraded the Mk-II with all of those hidden weapons, the Super Gundam can use those without trying to hop around on one foot.

After much debate, I've got this finalized. Let's see if this passes...

Players: MaxSalsa, Tenebrae
Characters: Chrono Harlaown, Tatsu
Canons: Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha, Roar that Shaped Fate

The idea is basically to set up Tatsu as a Unison Device, as provoked by this IC discussion. The writeup on the upgrade is in Chrono's journal, as it is slightly long. Tenebrae and I came up with this together after that thread, and Corel is all right with it (last I asked). I'm aware this is an odd request, but it gives Tenebrae something he's wanted for Tatsu for a while, and it makes Chrono less likely to be put on a bus for hilariously low power levels once the A's plot is over.

Let me know if there's a problem with this, either something I can fix, or this being unreasonable outright.

Player alias, the character you are requesting for and the character's canon: Final; Masaki Andoh; Super Robot Wars Original Generations and Masoukishin

Modifying your existing mech:

Cybuster upgrade:

Speed and Energy bonuses.

Weapons:

Vanity Ripper -

A set of 2 swords, and stronger than the Zephyr Sword. Both blades can also combine into one giant sword to deal punishing slashes. However, if Cybuster intends to use the sword to its fullest, the blades need to be separated into two for high speed, and combined into one for high-powered finisher slashes.

Zephyr Rave Mk.II -

Prana is now combined with the sword, and even a fraction of Cyfis' power. In some cases, this can actually be more powerful and useful than the Cosmo Nova. Can be used with Vanity Ripper.

Prana Burst -

Uses up a fraction of prana used in Cyflash by releasing it into the ground to create a shockwave, or, launching two blade beams of pure energy for long-range attacks.


Cybuster Possessed (it's just a form):

Maxed out speed, energy, and armor; it's essentially Masaki's I win mode, but mastered; can last only 5 minutes.

Weapons -

Shinden Blade -

Charges the new sword with prana for a devastating three-stage sword combo.

Akashic Familiar -

Kuro and Shiro can now perform their own Akashic Buster.

Shinden Ranbu No Tachi -

The ultimate attack of Cybuster, and even stronger than the Cosmo Nova in most fields. Cyfis' power is pushed beyond its power, and Masaki moves at insane speeds, moving around the enemy and slashing at them by first starting slow, then picking up speed gradually with intense slashes that are both fast and hard. There's a small Akashic Buster thrown in as well, intending to push the enemy before another round of intense slashes. Afterwards, Masaki takes two more slashes, one that binds the enemy with prana so they cannot hope to escape, and then another that can possibly cleave through an enemy, or knock them down to the ground/magic circle, where a large explosion will engulf them.



Wacky new guns or martial arts training: Masaki also gains more prana through a transplant, making him able to push out more prana in order to fight, and by training in La Gias. He can also gain the power of Cyfis, temporarily summoning Cyfis into Cybuster for five minutes for ultimate power, and even regeneration.

Jockey / Hua Cheng Kwan / Ironlock / Modifying Existing Mecha

It's probably going to be a little bit of a list.

Unit Name: Ymir
Unit Modifications:

Tesla Drive - Given the sheer amount of trashed Lions on the field it wouldn't be too difficult to find one or get the required parts and proceed to modify it to the Ymir's specifications. Because of the Ymir's size and battlefield role, the addition of a Tesla Drive would be a welcome boon to cut down on deployment time as well as give it better mobility - allowing it to fulfil the role of a heavily armed and armored mobile attacker - like some sort of oversized MS-09 Dom.

Charged Cannons - Once more, With the Lion salvage. This time from the railguns. The Ymir's back mounted cannons will now have longer range and greater hitting power.

Unit Name: Jotunn
Unit Modifications/Weapon Additions:

Tesla Drive - Like the Ymir, the Jotunn would also be equipped with a Tesla Drive. This will allow it to have sustained flight and add more to battlefield options.

Slash Harkens - Given the lack of close combat options the Jotunn has, a few tweaks were needed. The Slash Harkens are mounted on it's forearms.

Rifle - The Jotunn's rifle has been modified. It now lacks the bayonet and is stockier. Sporting an underslung shotgun.

Charge Knife - Rather than a beam saber, Cheng has opted for a Combat Frame sized combat knife. The knife can either be used normally or can be enveloped in a crackling surge of energy - which can potentially cause systems failures if embedded into machinery.


And finally (though I SHOULD have done it before)

Unit Name: Gucun Semi Powered Infantry Armor
Unit Description:

In the event Cheng ever has to go into an on-foot situation he has his armor cleaned up and ready to go. The heavier components have been stripped out to allow him to wear it in the cockpit. It essentially functions like a Normal Suit with better resistances debris and small arms fire. The suit grants him a relatively minor boost to both strength and agility and is suited for harsh environments in addition to space.

And here I am again, asking for yet more upgrades! It's season end, and we have a huge amount of gathered Adventus salvage! And guess who has an armor capable of absorbing isolated tech? So I want to ask for some upgrades based on the tech exhibited by Adventus. It's three different things:

Gravity Suit

Absorbed from the Adventus forcefield technology. The Varia changes to a purplish color, and is covered by directional forcefields. This, like in the games, gives perfect maneuverability inside environments that reduce mobility, such as liquids or gels, giving an S ranking at Sea, as well as immunity to acid. It also increases the toughness of Samus's shielding by a fair amount in exchange for a noticeable hit in the suit's speed, as the Speed Boots stop working while in this form and Samus can only run on her own power (which is still fairly fast, but definitely not as fast).

Sonic Beam

Absorbed from the Adventus sonic attack technology exhibited by DJ RGNK. A short-range, high-powered, spread-fire beam that deals lessened damage to organic targets but grievous damage to metallic and stone structures. In some ways, an inverse Wave Beam.

Flash Step

Absorbed from Adventus teleporter techonology, exhibited by Lucas. An upgrade to Light Suit. As in the game the Light Suit could innately teleport alongside certain beams of light for enormous distances, but that kind of thing would be either useless or broken depending on what beams counted in UG@, I'm instead suggesting an alternative as an upgrade to the base Light Suit I have: While in Light Suit, Samus can do instant short range teleporting between areas that are illuminated by sunlight. The visual on this is a temporary disgregation into energy, not unlike what happens when Samus Morphballs, reappearing a short distance away. Think Nightcrawler with a flash of sorts.

Oops, a bit belated on this...

Player(s): Dessa and Camiu
Character(s): Philip and Shoutaro, aka Kamen Rider W
Canon: Kamen Rider W

Canon Upgrade: FangJoker
As debuted in yesterday's mission, FangJoker is W's mid-season upgrade. FangJoker is stronger than the previous forms, but since it uses Philip's body instead of Shoutaro's, it has a lower stamina, and can't last as long. FangJoker fights with 3 weapons, the Arm Fang, Shoulder Fang, and Ankle Fang. The first is used as a tonfa-like weapon for close-range. The second is used as a boomerang-like weapon for medium-range (well, as far as he can throw it range). The last is used for their Maximum Drive, the Fang Strizer (blame Shoutaro for the random name), which is a spinning/slashing kick.


Non-Canon Upgrades: FangMetal and FangTrigger
Neither of these forms are used in the series, although they are theoretically possible. The issue/idea of compatibility is brought up at a couple places in the series, and it is likely that Fang is simply most compatible with Joker, which is why it is the only one used in canon. Camiu and I propose that, while being weaker than FangJoker (due to lack of compatibility), that FangMetal and FangTrigger are indeed possible.

FangMetal would be focused more on defensive attacks, combining the Shoulder Fang and the Metal Shaft into the Fang Naginata. Maximum Drive for FangMetal would be "Fang Shlitz", where they make three slices on the enemy with the Fang Naginata: Two short horizontal slices, and one vertical. The fact that it appears as an F-shaped mark is completely coincidental.

FangTrigger would be focused more on medium-range attacks, combining the Shoulder Fang with the Trigger Magnum into the Fang Bayonette. Maximum Drive for FangTrigger would be "Fang Spreng", a close-range attack where the blade of the Fang Bayonette is thrust into the enemy, followed by point-blank firing of the gun.

Akino | Ren, Kamen Rider Ryuki (part of Decade) | Modifying

Adding new cards to Ren's deck to help with his range. Upgrade planned for just before next Decade mission.

Buzzstinger (Bee) (http://www.kamen-rider.com/database/2002_ryuki/images/ryuki-vi-buzzstingerbee.jpg) my god
Shoot Vent: Bow and energy arrows.
Advent: Summon.
Swarm Vent: Specialized defense. A swarm of bees appears to intercept an attack or slow down an attacker. Only can be used once, as the swarm gets obliterated taking the bullet.
Sting Vent: Summon attack, Buzzstinger rains spikes (stingers) down on the enemy.
Final Vent: Enemy held down or to a surface by stingers while Ren fires arrows.


Guldmirage (http://www.kamen-rider.com/database/2002_ryuki/images/ryuki-vi-guldmirage.jpg)
Strike Vent: Wrist-mounted chakram (patterned off Guldmirage's wind-and-fire wheel). Has a cross-guard to allow for close-range fighting, as well as provide minor defense, or can be thrown.
Advent: Summon.
Whirl Vent: Summon attack, Guldmirage hurls wind-and-fire wheel. Some wind power to it, but mostly just a hard strike.
Final Vent: Guldmirage creates a whirlwind as Ren attacks with a butterfly kick for a double strike

Terrain stats (http://darknight-ren.livejournal.com/1665.html) remain the same; he's just getting more medium to longer ranged attacks.

Alright, so after talk with the mods, a change to the Flash Step has been suggested by them. Namely, having it turn into a Relocation Beam of sorts. Basically, Samus shoots a white, glob-looking pulse of energy through her arm cannon at a point in space, and when it reaches she is teleported to the point in question.

In this case, since this is a beam rather than an armor power, the Aperture ScienceRelocator Beam would be usable in all Suit forms, rather than only in Light form as the Flash Step would have been.

Ash Blaze | Christine Diaman/Astral Frontier | Modifying Existing Unit

Unit: Solstice

New Additions:

Barrier H-Type: Derived from the Advent H-Type Christine hauled back following the final defeat of HALO, for all intents and purposes, the H-Type is incredibly weaker than both the Advent H-Type's or the Hyperion that it originated from. Beyond the usual "Protect from dangerous stuff" barriers tend to do, the most the Barrier H-Type can do (at least with the Solstice) would be to have it act as a small extension of the Solstice and giving it a greater boost in physical power (think something like the Pinpoint Barriers from the later-day Macross series.)

Shoulder Railguns: Not wanting Julia to have all the railgun fun, Christine's asked for two of the railguns from the fallen Lions to be installed on the Solstice's shoulders and to be fired from there. This is more of a case of having something to fight with in the case of being disarmed. Again.

Manipulator Arms: With a combination of both new equipment and a developing style of fighting, the Solstice now adds an extra set of manipulators, mostly for either holding her shield while under attack and for wielding an extra weapon if need-be.
