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.

Dessa | Arika Yumemiya | My-Otome
It is of note, that Arika's GEM, the Blue Sky Sapphire, is not a normal GEM, and instead a "Super Meister Gem", more powerful than normal Meister GEMS (which are, in turn, more powerful than the students' Pearl and Coral GEMS). When properly utilized, it is on a level at least equivalent to those of the 5 Columns (special Otome whose Master is the Predecessor herself, and who serve a bit as the Otome "police" force), if not much higher. The limits of its power are not revealed in the series.
Blue Sky Sapphire (Ver. 1) (http://www.my-zhime.net/tv/character/img/img_p_arika3.gif)
Arika's first Meister Robe, gained from the contract with Mashiro. It's more powerful than her Coral Robe, and actually more powerful than most Meister Robes, though not as powerful as those of the 5 Columns. This Robe is actually an incomplete Robe, as Arika cannot unlock the full potential of the Robe. Arika's Element in this Robe is a two-bladed crystal sword (http://www.my-zhime.net/tv/character/img/img_p_arika4.gif) of sorts, which can also be enlarged to giant size (http://www.my-zhime.net/tv/character/img/img_p_arika5.gif). While she can fight with it in it's larger form, primarily the larger form is used for her special attack, Bolt From the Blue, which is a giant beam attack.
Terrain Stats:
Land: B
Air: A
Sea: C
Space: B
Note: As you never see any Otome fight underwater, the Sea stat is assumed due to there being no penalty when they fight in space. However, Arika herself needs to be taught how to swim, first.
Blue Sky Sapphire (Complete) (http://www.my-zhime.net/ova/character/img/img_p_arika3.gif)
Arika's complete Meister Robe, obtained . Arika's power in this form is at least equivalent to the Columns, if not more powerful. The full extent of her powers is unknown, although her mother, using the same Robe, was able to access many more abilities than Arika has shown*. In addition to her regular Element, Arika also can wield the Sword of Akatsuki (http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l183/Dessa_Gepichu/Misc%20Anime%20Crap/SwordofAkatsuki.jpg), a powerful artifact in its own right. After its initial use in the TV series end-canon, Mashiro has to separately authorize this Robe, which is activated by Arika calling "Materialize Zwei".

Blue Sky Sapphire (Ver. 1.5) (http://www.my-zhime.net/ova/character/img/img_p_arika2.gif)
After the events ending the TV series, this becomes Arika's default Robe (as, as stated above, her complete Robe requires separate authorization). It is similar in appearance to her first Meister Robe, except with blue highlights and extra power. In terms of battle, it is simply a more powerful version of her earlier Robe, but less powerful than her complete Robe. She is roughly on the same power level (or slightly lower) as the Columns in this form.

Just to confirm, Ver 1.5 is an upgrade to the base form of 1, and Complete is the Super Mode of both (which shows up in plot before 1 gets upgraded to 1.5)?
