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.

Camiu/Kamille/Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam: New Translation/Modifying Existing Mech

Just posting the Details on the modified Mk-II

Robot Name: Gundam Mk-II H.W.C. (Hidden Weapons Custom)
Robot Description: While there's little difference in appearance between this and the original Mk-II, the H.W.C. does have differences where it counts. Most of the Gundam's limbs have been hollowed out to be fitted with extra equipment, which includes the following:

Standard Ammo Gatling Gun in right arm
Bazooka in lower legs: Fires by disconnecting joints: one Shell Apiece.
Missiles in upper legs: Leg casing opens up to launch payload: 8 missiles apiece
Grenade hidden behind Hands: disconnect hand, Grenade comes out, reconnect hand, use grenade: One apiece
Blade Shield: High Quality Steel Blade hidden in the underside of the shield, Blade springs out for attack.

The Armor rating, which was already low, drops that much lower to be able to carry the stuff. Speed becomes variable to Ammunition: More ammo used, the faster you get.

Terrain Ratings: Ammo at full
Land: B *The weight makes it harder to walk, but it's still capable of movement*
Air: C *The weight prevents the Verniers from doing much outside of evasion*
Sea: D *That much weight would crush any pilot*
Space: B *Weight's a non-issue in space*

Terrain Ratings: Ammo empty
Land: A *The lack of weight makes the unit faster*
Air: B *The lack of weight allows for easier aerial maneuvers*
Sea: D *You can do it, but you'll just flail your limbs*
Space: B *Weight's a non-issue in space.*

Corel/Nanoha/Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha/Cross-canon Upgrade?

[identity profile] white-deviling.livejournal.com 2011-10-20 11:42 am (UTC)(link)
This has been discussed before, but more input from others would be most welcome.

Basically, I'm looking for ways to have the Nanoha mages be able to operate in space. Just so we don't get left out in space arcs of UGA's story.

Some ideas that have been presented so far are creating a normal suit for them (similar to the ones Lowe developed for the Witches) or preferrably an addon to the Barrier Jacket that enables and optimizes space performance.

The space rating doesn't have to be high though; a B would be sufficient even for Nanoha.

Zappa | Mio Sakamoto | Strike Witches

[identity profile] aceshighsword.livejournal.com 2011-10-20 06:44 pm (UTC)(link)
This already happened back during the first space arc, but, normal suits have been rigged to work with Strike Units so that all Witches gain a C rank in space, rather than having a D. D:

Nothing to upgrade them to water access.

Dessa | Arika Yumemiya | My-Otome

[identity profile] crystal-energy.livejournal.com 2011-10-24 07:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Ohai der, Arika's upgrade's coming up, might as well detail all 3 anime-canon ones. Note that, for the most part, it is simply a matter of "moar power" and a new weapon. The Robes pretty much all work the same way.

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".

Terrain Stats:
Land: A
Air: S
Sea: C
Space: S

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.

Since Roads now has access to, well, stuff, I figure he should soon complete work on what will be dubbed
Zweilicht -Halfway Decent Type-

It mounts the triple pile bunker on the left arm as a shield/melee weapon, and carries the Ascalon sword. It keeps the same base weapons- a few (4) of the knives, the rocket anchors on the arms, the machinegun.

Also worth noting is that it has a fully charged super mode, so it will get a bit more mileage out of that.

There's no major change in maneuverability, since Roads will have gotten to clean the unit up a bit, but it still has a large shield thing on the left arm. It will take him some getting used to, at first.

Adette Kistler / Metal overman king Gainer/ modifying exsisting knightmare frame

[identity profile] hearturrushrod.livejournal.com 2011-10-27 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
Player alias, the character you are requesting for and the character's canon:Lorelei, Adette Kistler, Metal Overman King Gainer
Mech:RPI-209 Gloucester Knightmare Frame, equiipped with: factsphere open sensor camera, landspinner high-mobility propulsion system, slash harken, "Chaos Bomb" fragmentation grenade, lance.

Upgrades request: extras boosters and counterbalance for speed. New paint job in black and nighthawk blue.
Wacky new guns or martial arts training: Scratch build junk shield for ramming made from spare scraps, not pretty or fancy, perhaps spikes. Land mines with an auto eject system so they can be dropped behind the knightmare frame while in motion.
Zappa suggest a Minewhip, but such a thing would likely take longer to engineer and build so I'm willing to wait for this. Shirley and Markus have already volunteered to engineer and build these mods.

Unofficial suggestion here, but you might be able to steal a chain mine or two from Zeon's ammo trucks on the first Gundam 0080 mission if you're careful and the mod who runs it is nice. Of course, they're kinda one-use...

[identity profile] 2hell-weride.livejournal.com 2011-10-27 01:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Chain mine, mine whip... SAME THING (cuz I said so!)

I think if we got ONE, we could at least figure out how the F it worked then reverse engineer that chizz

Cheng l Ironlock l Modifying Existing Mech

[identity profile] vjockey.livejournal.com 2011-10-27 01:49 pm (UTC)(link)
I figured that if Cheng wants to start exterminating Festum with extreme prejudice he's going to need to start piloting a machine that's properly his own.

Robot Name: Behemoth - Cheng Custom (Mark I)

Robot Description:

This variant of the Behemoth has traded quite a bit of its defense for better mobility and firepower. Additionally, the visual aesthetics of the machine seem to be a cross of Combat Frame and Fafner Unit (Specifically the variant Ryo used prior to falling to his assimilation syndrome). Details on the machine's capabilities are as follows:

Weapons:
The Behemoth's cannons have been replaced for a pair of twin cannons that fire a smaller caliber. In terms of combat effectiveness it trades a little punch for target saturation and more ammo.

The Gatling gun has stayed of course, but the shotgun has been replaced with the Autocannon the Behemoth had used in its time in space.

Detatchable rocket pods have been attached to its legs - bringing up its total rocket count to twenty four.

It also has a better back-up weapon on hand when both Gatling Gun and Autocannon have been drained dry than a pistol. Bringing up the role of backup weapon is a compact assault rifle complete with a bayonet.


The machine's colour scheme is pretty much based on the White Chalice's own, though the section of it with stripes that MarKus had put on the Behemoth during the L-Boat mission were left untouched.

Terrain Stats:
Land: A
Air: C (VERY limited amounts of time due to the fact that the Behemoth is STILL HEAVY AS FECK ALL)
Sea: C

Ash Blaze | Akito Tenkawa | Martian Successor Nadesico

[identity profile] cook-not-pilot.livejournal.com 2011-10-27 10:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Since Steam suggested I do this:

Robot Name: Exabyte (ver. SRW UG@)
Robot Description: The Exabyte is a special, next generation Aestivalis unit. Instead of being a new frame type, the Exabyte is an entirely brand new unit. Based off of the 0G Frames, the Exabyte is optimized for space combat. However, like famed units such as the Zeong and the Dra-C, the Exabyte doesn't have legs, replaced with giant Saturn-like Bell rockets. This prevents the unit from being used in other terrains.

Like other Aestivalis units, its outfitted with a Gravity Wave Antenna, allowing for continuous charge directed from the Nadesico itself and its powerful Distortion Field barrier. It only has two major weapons - a standard issue Rapid Rifle and the powerful High-Voltage Skiff, which obliterates foes with electric blasts up close. The biggest addition to the unit is the experimental React System (It has a longer name, but I can't find it ATM). The React System functions as an extension to the IFS system, giving the pilot greater reaction time than normal. (Unlike the normal Exabyte, however, it won't cause a feedback and render Akito blind).
Terrain Stats: (This is optional, but for those who have played SRW, this is a good way to give us a quick judge of how good your mech is overall. For those of you who haven't played the games, they are measured: --, D, C, B, A, S, with -- or D meaning it can't fight there at all and S being the best. Note that only upgrades tend to have an S unless they are entirely gimped or unusable in other areas.)

Steam here, with two very small modifications. One of which has already been introduced before this page was made but whatever, can't have a double standard.

The pre-existing one is a second Cypher Weapon for Josh and the Aile, giving him an option for a more offense-minded loadout. Instead of one Cypher and a shield, Josh can just have two Cyphers instead for dual-wielding.

The other one is Julia wants to do some minor tweaking to the Corona. Just providing retractable "sheaths" around its hands so it can at least punch with all its weight without damaging its fingers.

Robot Name: Dijeh SE-R (http://mahq.net/mecha/gundam/z-msv/se-dj-1r.htm)
Robot Description: A machine newly developed by the Karaba based on the Rick Dias. To keep costs low, it's weapons and internal components are generally compatible with other contemporary mobile suits, notably the Rick Dias and Hyakku Shiki. The SE-R is a further development of the project, with somewhat improved all around performance.

Armaments- Beam Rifle (Same as that used by the Gundam Mk II)
Clay Bazooka (Identicle to that used by the Hyaku Shiki)
Beam Naginata (Based on the Gelgoog's)
Head Vulcans (Self Explanatory)

Terrain Ratings- (Standard across the board high mobility mobile suit. Best in space, okay on land and in the air and generally a good idea not to let it get wet.)

Because there sure seems to be alot of water missions in the near-ish future.


Robot Name: MBF-P03 Gundam Astray "Blue Frame" – Scale System
Robot Description: Designed for underwater warfare, the Scale System is equipped with leg boosters to improve underwater mobility, an specially designed underwater rifle, and missile launchers. The underwater rifle is based off the coilgun design, sometimes mistaken as the gauss gun, that fires an electromagnetically charged projectile at high speeds while also puncturing armor. The Scale System, while useful, receives limited use due to the lack of water related missions.

Robot Name: Gun Sniper (http://zoids.wikia.com/wiki/Gun_Sniper) Rinon Custom (http://www.hlj.com/product/KBYZD44)
Robot Description: Gun Sniper is a precision Zoid. It has a AZ 144mm Sniper Rifle in the tail (the pilot seat reverses for shooting) for high accuracy shots, as well as 2 Beam Gattling Guns, a Beam Launcher, and an 8-shot Missile Pod. For close-range, it has Strike and Strike Anchor Claws, and Bite Fangs. Additionally, the Gun Sniper is quite fast, having a maximum speed of 200km/h, with a (relative) small size making it a harder for it to be hit.

That being said... Rinon's Gun Sniper, in Naomi's words, is "ridiculous", loaded down with heavy weaponry similar to her Dibison's. In addition to the standard armaments, Gun Sniper RS comes with a wild weasel unit, two beam gattling units, two triple laucher units, and four missile pods. Really, the thing's weaponry about doubles its size. And Rinon uses it pretty much the same way as she used Dibison.

Until Rinon gets her Gun Sniper, I'm requesting for her to bully Jamie into letting her use borrow Pteras, which is one of her team's Zoids already aboard the ship. Here are Pteras' details:

Robot Name: Pteras
Robot Description: Pteras is a flying Pterosaur-type Zoid. It uses magnetic repulsion to lift the Zoid, and while it's not as agile as other airborne Zoids, it can reach a top speed of Mach 2.2. For weaponry, it has a 16mm Vulcan Gun, two Two-Shot ASM Pods, and a Dual AAM Launcher. Additionally, Jamie's machine has a CP-06 Bomber Unit equipped as well.

Primarily, the Pteras is used for aerial support. While it does have weaponry other than its bombing unit, once its limited supply of weaponry runs out, it's left with just it's Vulcans. It also can fight on the ground, but is extremely awkward.

Terrain Stats:
Land: C
Air: B
Sea: D (B for over water, just not in it)
Space: C (if sealed against the vacuum)

First non-canon upgrade!

[identity profile] space-mcgyver.livejournal.com 2011-12-10 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Robot Name: Astray Beam Rotor Module
Robot Description: It's not a new unit but rather an equippable part for both Astrays: Red and Blue Frame. The left hand is replaced with rotary beam blades, that work like a helicopter to allow the unit to fly through the air - although somewhat awkwardly. It can be also used in melee combat, with an efficiency similar to a beam saber, as well as to parry and deflect enemy attacks.

And yes, I totally stole this from Victory Gundam.
