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.

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.
