A man is concealed in the shadows. With a flash, light appears around him. Wearing a red suit, and a purple bow tie, the man sits on a stool, a patch over his. A microphone in his left hand, he looks up.
“It has been nearly four years since the events of the Thirteen Gundam Fight, where Domon Kasshu and his God Gundam won the title of “Gundam of Gundams”, and defeated the powerful Devil Gundam. The treachery of both Neo Hong Kong and Neo Japan left the Gundam Fight in disarray after Neo Japan’s victory, the colonies and nations of space unwilling to grant the right to rule both Earth and Space to Neo Japan. However, through the persuasion of their local Gundam Fighters and the United Colonies Federation the battered Neo Japan was granted rule.”
The light turned off again, then lit below the man, casting shadows over his face.
”Thus the world entered a stage of repair. Neo Japan was especially ravaged by the control of the Devil Gundam over it, its citizens haven taken heavy casualties from the treachery of Ulube. However, as the end of the final and third year since the end of the Thirteenth Gundam Fight, it is asked ‘How will fate treat the fighters of this fight? Will tragedy once again grace the face of the Gundam Fight, with hope a fleeting thing in the shadows, forced to be harnessed by the brave Gundam Fighters, or will this fight be something new, as the world keeps turning.’
And one must wonder… was the Devil Gundam truly destroyed by the King of Hearts?”
The light fades, the shadows growing on the man’s face. Suddenly, the light breaks down upon the man again, on his feet, raising his hands in the air.
”Get ready fighters, for the Fourteenth annual Gundam Fight! Readddyyyyy….. GO!!!!”

General RPG Rules
1. LISTEN TO THE GM(S)! CAN’T STRESS THIS MORE!
1. Despite the unrealistic nature of G Gundam, there ARE limits. You must take into mind the limits of your character and your Gundam, along with the stats of your Gundam. No one is invulnerable, and damage is to be expected. No God-moding!
2. Keep in mind the regulations of the Gundam Fight:
Article 1: A unit whose head section has been destroyed is disqualified Article 2: A Gundam Fighter must never aim at the cockpit of an opponent's Gundam. Article 3: A Gundam Fighter may repair damage to his Gundam as often as he desires and move on to the championship league, as long as the head section has not been destroyed. Article 4: A Gundam Fighter must take responsibility for protecting his own Gundam. Article 5: A match shall only be held on a one-on-one basis. Article 6: A Gundam Fighter shall not taint the honor and dignity of the nation he is representing. Article 7: Earth is the ring! Supplement to Article 2: Accidental harm inflicted on a Gundam Fighter during a match is acceptable. Supplement to Article 7: Destruction of property on Earth due to the Gundam Fight is not considered a crime.
While these regelations are all in-character based, your character can be held to them and any breaking of them.
3. Rather then having forty hour- hits be instant victory no matter what, 48 hour hits may only do limited damage to targets, unless the head is targeted, then the attacker has the choice to either destroy it or keep the fight going. Keep in mind you may have to work with these Gundam Fighters later on, and in a battle it may be better not to at times to take this type of victory condition.
4. While G Gundam tends to have “humorous” Gundams and pilots, often fitting stereotypes and often quite silly, please try to maintain some seriousness. I will say this now: that no Uber-Silly Gundam will be eligible for Shuffle Alliance positions. Seriously. Also, we’re trying to keep up a dramatic plot here, bleah.
Edit: Also, I'd like to thank Gredival of Anime X for digging the system listed in the Mobile Fighter Registration out of the Anime X archives, and letting me use it.

Character Registration

Name: Pretty basic. The name of your character. Titles are allowed in addition,
Age: Also fairly self explanatory.
Nationality: What nation does this character represent? (All Gundam Fighters must represent a nation).
Position: Gundam Fighter? Mechanic/ Crew member? Your main character should be listed as a Gundam fighter, and perhaps underline this position to make sure everyone pays attention to your main character.
Sex: What gender your character is (Male or Female, I’d hope).
Appearance: What your character looks like. Hair color, eye color, height, weight, and such. Linking to images is allowed.

My own personal character, bleah.
Name: Rawan Zoranari
Age: 25
Nationality: Neo Antarctica
Position: Gundam Fighter for Neo Antarctica
Sex: Male
Appearance: Tall, with brown hair and blue eyes, he is fairly rugged, his face covered with knicks and cuts.
Background: Rawan Zoranari is a citizen of the little known “Neo Antarctica” Colony.
Antarctica was long time a continent inhabited by researchers only, sent by their respective nations. However, as the nations of Earth expanded into space, they quickly withdrew all resources from Antarctica, leaving the scientists there stranded.
There were heavy losses of life.
However, the people managed to recover, and make some sort of life out of their stay in the Antarctic. Life was beyond harsh, the settlers were forced to work hard to maintain their life, as the new Colonies in space developed the Gundam Fight.
Eventually, the Antarctic colonists were able to pool their strength and resources, and create a large space vessel, with which they launched into space, with hope to achieve what the other nations had.
They after years of work succeeded in making a colony, Neo Antarctica. It was essentially the remains of other colonies and other scrap materials, pooled together to make a large enclosed-style Colony.
The Neo Antarcticans didn’t forget those still in Antarctica, and they struggled to send resources to them as they could.
Thus they managed to live in a somewhat better state of life, still angry at their former parent nations, never forgetting how they were abandoned.
Rawan carries on this anger, and hopes to win the Gundam Fight so as to bring honor to his nation, and with the resources of Neo Antarctica leading the world, improve on it and help the citizens of Antarctica.
It is not known where or rather how Neo Antarctica found or made the Arctic Gundam, one of the more powerful Gundams in the Gundam fight, though it is one of the favorites to win the Gundam Fight. He has no crew, that is a luxury his nation could not afford, thus he travels alone, fueled only by his great purpose…

Name: Maxim von Nebel
Age: 26
Nationality: Neo Germany
Position: Gundam Fighter for Neo Germany.
Sex: Male.
Appearance: Standing at about 5'11", Maxim is a very handsome looking man. He has hair down to his ears, and wears a bandanna around his neck. He wears a ragged, tan bomber jacket over a white tee, and wears faded blue jeans. His eyes are a bright blue, and his hair is blonde.
Background: Maxim was born in a small mountain town in the colony of Neo germany, where he was quite a brat. He was always a theif, and a trouble maker. Never really being appreciated by his parents, he was eventually put up for adoption. He was adopted by a well off business man, who was involved with the Gundam Fights. He has 3 foster sisters, none of which were ever fit to compete in the fight, which is what his father wants most.
At the age of 16 he began training for combat. He studied the art of fighting with sword and flail. He has just recently mastered the style, as it is perhaps one of the most dangerous styles to fight with. His parents both passed away shortly after, leaving family control to his sisters. The eldest being a good business woman, she's now his manager, as he's chosen to be the Neo German fighter.

Name: Carl "Hawkeye" Talbert
Age: 25
Nationalty: Neo America
Position: Gundam Fighter for Neo America
Sex: Male
Appearance: Dark brown hair, five o'clock shadow, brown eyes, normally wears a dark brown cowboy hat, blue jeans, brown leather jacket, and a belt with two pistol holsters.
Background: Growing up in the Old West of America on Earth, he learned a great many tricks and skills with the gun. An excellent marksman, sharpshooter, and gunfighter, he earned his nickname "Hawkeye."
Life was roough for the young Hawkeye. He was an orphan trying to fend for himself in a small desert town. Working as a farmhand, at the age of fourteen, he saved up enough money to buy his first revolver. He spent every spare hour honing his skills as a quickdraw and gunslinger. It is said that he could make a bullet land anywhere he wanted. He also learned the skills of a rifleman as a farmhand keeping the livestock safe from predators such as wolves and cayotes. His rifle skills rival those of his pistol.
The Neo American Government picked up on this young man's skills and decided to recruit him for the Gundam Fights. They built him a specially designed mobile fighter for long range sniping and short ranged pistol dueling.
Carl prefers to stay away from his opponents and pick them off from afar, but if the situation calls for it, can use basic martial arts skills but relies on his pistols for close encounters.
Carl's personal philosophy is "I'm not here to look pretty; I'm here to get the job done," and his Mobile Fighter reflects this. No gaudy decorations except for its V-fin, the MF is at bare-bones minimum. He sees it as a weapon, not a symbol, and Neo America doesn't want to let it get in the way of his fighting.

Name: Kyoshiro Matase
Age: 23
Nationality: Neo Japan
Position: Gundam Fighter
Sex: Male
Appearance: A slightly short, black haired man (hair is barely noticable as it is really short), he wears a worn black gi and a black belt
Background: A warrior from the Goshin school of martial arts his style emphasizes absolute power and control. He entered martial arts in the suburban area of Neo Japan as a six year oldchild and advanced through rigorous repetition of moves. At the age of ten he won his first tournament in kata and in sparring. At home despite his athletic success he was shamed by his family for having poor grades. This motivated him to train even harder to prove himself, but he could never get his parents, especially his fathers approval, so he pushed himself harder. By the time he was fourteen the high school he was in was considered only average and his father gave him a choice, he needed to be able to support himself someday so he would either have to give up Goshin completely and get straight A's or he would have to by the end of the year win a major regional tournament and lay the ground work to go professional.
He chose the latter, training at all hours of the day that he did not have school work he became isolated but extrmely strong, he managed to achieve Junior Blackbelt by the time he was fifteen. At the tournament he entered in the adult division and won first place in a hotly contested match against a semi professional fighter. Kyoshiro was immediately sent to the city train in the Goshin Schools main academy and he dropped out of high school agreeing to devote all his days to training on the agreement he would get a tutor their to teach him his academics. Kyoshiro propsered in the rigorous environment there and became one of the top pupils not only learning empty hand fighting skills but also proficency with multiple weapons. He stayed their till he was twenty and met Domon Kasshu who came to teach a demonstration at the place. Being impressed with Kyoshiro's determination and skill he agreed to train him for the next two years, by taking him as a house servant. Kyoshiro agreed.
The two years he spent with Domon were the most intense of his life, never had he been pushed so hard. He spent these two years trying to land a single punch on the strongest man in the world. At last he managed to, and Domon told him this phase of his journey was complete but to become as strong as him he'd have to develop his own personality which his years of training had surpressed. Kyoshiro nodded and headed off to qualify as the Gundam Fighter for Neo Japan which he managed to get. He now journeys to Earth to preserve Japanese Hegemony over the world and to find himself through his fists.

Name: Isa Hassan
Age: 22
Nationality: Neo-Palestine
Position: Gundam Fighter
Sex: Male
Appearance: Isa is of a medium size but has physically impressive build. He has a handsome face with green eyes and perfectly trimmed short black hair and a goatee and beard. Outside of his cockpit he can be seen wearing a traditional white Arabian Ghutra and Thobe. He has also been known to wear suits with a Ghutra on occasion.
Background: Isa Hassan can be considered a fundamentalist extremist. He is very un-popular among other Gundam Fighters because of his devotion to his faith and his country. It is well known that Neo-Palestine wants to become a major player among the other nations and they want to attain this by any means necessary.
Isa Hassan was born into the Palestinian military where his father was a high ranking general. The general was the one who suggested his son become the next great Gundam Fighter, and since that day when Isa was just but a boy, he has been training day and night to reach that goal.
He has sacrificed friends, family, relationships, and money just to be here at the Gundam Fight. What makes him even more dangerous is that he represents a nation that will do anything to become a major player among the other world super-powers and the pilot representing them is cold, calculating, and sitting on a fence of pure extremist insanity.
Whoever Isa Hassan faces though, just better remember to watch out. Because he is one man not to be taken lightly.

Name: Carlos Santiago
Age: 20
Nationality: Neo Spain
Position: Gundam Fighter
Sex: Male
Appearance: Carlos stands at roughly 5'9", and constantly takes jokes from his family for being 'the runt'. He has dark black hair and brown eyes, along with lightly tanned skin and a clean shaven face. Often seen wearing black pants and a white dress shirt, with a slightly too-big beaten up 'bomber jacket' and an ornate crucifix around his neck at all times.
Background:
Carlos Santiago is the youngest son of a wealthy, noble blood Spanish family. He is not only the youngest member of his family, but also the shortest (his sister and mother are both an inch taller than he is). This has given him quite a Napoleon complex, and he often takes on challenges beyond his skill in an effort to prove himself. He is something of a braggart and show off, but deep down a nice enough guy.
He is also deeply, deeply religious. He is a devout member of the Catholic church, and in fact almost views his position as a Gundam Fighter as being akin to an ancient Crusader of the Church. His Gundam is a reflection of this, focusing on combat with broadsword, shield and an 'energy crossbow'.
His parents, three older brothers and older sister have all taken up positions in either the family business (a high technology company that many believe rivals similar corporations in Neo Japan) or the Government of Neo Spain. His family used its connections to influence the decision to select Carlos as the nation's Gundam Fighter. Despite (or perhaps because of) his short stature, he is a skilled fighter and has proven to be a very capable battler in the tests so far.
He enters the fight seeking to bring pride and glory to his nation, his God and himself.

Name: Maria Santiago
Age: 28
Nationality: Neo Spain
Position: Mechanic/Technician
Sex: Female
Appearance: 5'10" with a build more fitting of a gymnast than a researcher. Long, straight dark brown hair, green eyes and lightly tanned skin. Usually seen in very tomboy-ish clothing, ranging from basic shirts with jeans to oil and grease stained coveralls to a stereotypical researcher outfit (complete with white lab coat)
Background:
Maria Santiago is the eldest of the Santiago children, and the designer of the Crusader Gundam. Where her brother is deeply religious and passionate, she is calm, logical and sometimes painfully apathetic.
At a young age she showed an incredible aptitude with all things mechanical and technological, and at 16 was placed in the R&D division of her father's company. By the time she was 20, she was Director of New Development. The Crusader Gundam is very much her creation, and she is responsible for many of the elements of its design (for example, the unique alloy making up the blade of its broadsword, and the activation system fueled by Carlos's dedication and faith in the most dangerous battles).
She has also always been the closest sibling to her youngest brother, keeping watch over Carlos and occasionally protecting him when he angered his siblings and other children too greatly.
It was for these reasons that she was chosen to accompany Carlos to Earth as the Crusader's mechanic. Not only does she know the inner workings of the Mobile Fighter backwards and forwards, but she is one of the only people Carlos will actually listen to.
To sum it up, Maria is in many ways very different from her brother, but is also one of the only people he has ever truly bonded with. She follows him into the competition to offer support and guidance to her sometimes pig-headed hermanito.
