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.

Steam/Josh Radcliffe/Super Robot Wars D/New add-on upgrade
Robot Description: http://www.mahq.net/mecha/srw/destiny/geantchevalier.jpg
As the battles grow more challenging for Josh in the vanilla Aile, plans are eventually started to provide it not only a means of flight, but bring a tremendous amount of firepower it was previously lacking to bear on enemies. Like the Dendrobium and the METEORs from Gundam, the Weapons Box Hangar (yeah, stupid name, I know) is meant to dock with the Aile and serve as a massive weapons platform. 110 meters in length and more than ten times the weight of the Aile alone, the Geant Chevalier is a nasty machine built for rape, giving the Aile a great deal and taking little away. The Geant provides the Aile with a fairly massive beam blade mounted to its right side that can in fact double as a heavy-duty beam rifle, as well as a drill/grappling hook hybrid on its left to capture and crush damn near anything it can get its hands on. For long range combat, the Geant houses multiple missiles and its systems augment the Aile's Impulse Cannons to grant the machine much more destructive firepower, as well as a slew of blade bits that serve to tear apart anything that doesn't stay in front of the Geant. What's more, the beast of a machine is still agile, capable of using Double Image just like the Aile.
Since it was derived from the Aile, the Geant also possesses a Sympathia System and its Res Arcana. The Sympathia System allowing Josh to partially control how the machine moves based off his thought patterns and how mental visualizations of how the machine should move, and the Res Arcana enabling him to power the machine purely off negative emotions.
However, due to its immense size and impracticality in some cases, I'm reserving this for special occasions in UG@, like big, important canon missions
