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.

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.
