Gundam: Ferrum Anima Militis The year is 2334. The Earth is unified into a single Affiliation. The Dominion of Unified Sympathetic Terrestrial Nations, or DUST, has led the world for over two centuries now. It was shortly after the creation of DUST that mankind began to move into space. They have since established two moon bases and twelve colonies at Lagrange 5. The colonies were created by the earth, by DUST, as a means of population control and also as a way to develop new technologies in a controlled environment. This arrangement worked well until about 10 years ago. This was the point where the colonies decided they had had enough of their lives being controlled by a separate organization that lived and thought apart from them. They decided that only they understood themselves and their needs well enough to rule over them. Thus began the Space Independence Movement. This war of independence lasted for several years before the colonies were finally able to win their right to rule themselves. They formed the Space Transcendence and Reinforcement Zodiac, or STARZ. The moon bases remained neutral during this conflict but were granted independence by STARZ as well, who were able to reinforce this on the moon bases behalf. The two moon bases now maintain a loose government called Luna. Though the wars are now over there are still conflicts cropping up periodically. Skirmishes and sorties are not uncommon, especially along the undefined borders of space between the colonies and the satellites that DUST has established since the end of the war. Also, a new terrorist organization, Archangels, has appeared recently. They appear to be religious radicals calling down the blasphemy of DUSTS artificial intelligence advancement, and the biological engineering being researched by STARZ. Luna has continued to remain neutral throughout and has established trade negotiations with both DUST and STARZ, the primary doctrine of which being that they are not to pass technological information from one to the other.

Notes Reference Gundam Wiki. This will be our definitive reference site. Technology For the purposes of technology within this roleplay we will be incorporating all technology from all Gundam series. Though, not all of them right off the bat. This means that the major factions within this roleplay will be using the same mass produced suits that we have all seen in other gundam series. There will not be, however, any of the Gundams from any of the series. All Gundams within this story will be entirely original. For use in ships and mobile suits we will be using Ultracompact Energy Batteries, courtesy of Gundam SEED: Destiny. These will be used in combination with the Deuterion Beam Energy Transfer System for mobile suits, and charging stations for ships. A series of massive satellites have been established well outside of the orbit of, and the gravitational pull of, the Earth. These stationary plants are entirely unmanned and self sustaining, with a plant of repair robots and the like. Their purpose is to collect solar energy from the sun and to use a massive version of the Dueterion Beam Energy Transfer System to send the collected energy to the Earth, Moon, and the Colonies when they are aligned in the plants firing path. Continuing Hostilities DUST and STARZ maintain an unstable peace. The reaason for this being that DUST created STARZ and so believes than any and all advancements created within the colonies belong to the people of DUST by right. The people of STARZ are now established a separate government and say that what they create is theirs to do with what they decide to. They, also, would not mind getting their hands on the technologies being designed by their rival, though. Because of this there is a continuing string of infiltration, double agent activity, theft, and sabotage. Faction Info DUST: While the world is now headed by the organization DUST all of the previous countries still exist. Also, the world has been roughly divided into 5 geographical territories. The Americas, Europe, Asia, The Middle East and Africa, and Autralia. Dust designed the Mass Deuterion Beam Energy Transfer System that supplies the earth, the colonies, and the moon bases with their energy. The system is entirely self-sustaining and, even had they wanted to, they could not reprogram it to blackmail the colonies. STARZ: STARZ consists of the twelve colonies, each of which is named after one of the astrological zodiacs. Even before they claimed independence they had secretly begun a project to colonize Mars. The Mars base has since been completed resulting in the base Hellas Planitia. This was accomplished through the use of a set of Mass Drivers constructed by the colonies. They created the first and sent the pieces of the second, to be constructed on the other end, to Mars. This greatly decreased the transportation time from one end to the other, making it relatively easy to transport materials, supplies, and people. Luna: Luna was granted sovereignty as a side-effect of the colonies war for independence. They had not been seeking it, but did not turn it down either, when STARZ devoted a portion of their military to freeing their fellow space dwellers from Earth rule. Luna has maintained neutrality throughout the war, and after. They have trade negotiations with both of the other major factions. As such they generally feel no need to invent new technologies of their own, merely incorporating what they deign from their neighbor nations together.

Weaknesses: Has difficulty with computer software problems. Has a bit of an anger problem. Personality: Generally laid back. He is content with his station in life and does not vie for a promotion. He can become frustrated, and when he does he can become violent, this is something he is trying to correct in himself. Motivation: He wants to live in a world where he can live in peace, without fear of war. He believes that if he fights and contributes this may come about sooner. Also, he feels that it would be wrong to enjoy that peace if he had not risked his own life along with everyone else in order to attain it. History/Background: Gray grew up as a normal child with a happy family in the Ptolemaeus moon base. After finishing his standard schooling he enrolled in an academy and excelled in mechanics and engineering. While in school his family, who was visiting the earth, were killed in a terrorist attack. Grey fell into a violent depression. When he finally emerged he seemed to have found inner peace regarding the incident and picked up his life where he had left off. He finished his schooling and joined the military. He started off by employing his mechanical and engineering skills but eventually felt the urge to pilot one of the Mobile Suits that he helped to build and maintain. Gray obtained permission to test experimental craft and showed a significant amount of skill for it. He was transferred to a different department and made into a pilot. He still works with the mechanics and engineers on and, now, also pilots experimental Mobile Suits. Misc.: Weapon of choice: Bare hands and feet. Mobile Suit/Armor Name ATMS-X203 Savage Gundam Appearance: The Savage Gundam is designed with a heavier than normal frame, due to its heavier body armor. It is primarily white in color with red and black. Height: 17.71 meters Weight: 65 metric tons Primary Armaments: It's primary armament are the triple pistons mounted on each of its forearms. It can use these when attacking with its fists to greatly increase striking power. Gives the Savage enough power to easily crush the surface armor of a Mobile Suit if not shatter it altogether. Secondary Armaments: Has a pair of waist mounted beam cannons, which rotate and fire independantly. Also has an anti-ship sword for additional variability in melee combat. Special Features: Geschmeidig Panzer energy deflection shields. The shields are similar in appearance to wings and can fold around the Savages body to guard its front, sides, or rear. Can lock together in either front or rear to form a solid shield. Strengths: Is almost immune to ranged beam weapons because of the beam deflection armor. Powerful in melee combat. Heavy frame provides power. Weaknesses: Has little ranged power. Heavy frame makes it slower in the atmosphere. Does not contain a flight pack for sustained flight. Misc: Head mounted CIWS.

Hobbies: Tinkers with any type of mechanical object, from clocks to motorcycles to the small A.I. dog that she picked up from Earth the last time she was there. She also plays several sports, including hockey. Strengths: Her ability to win people over could be considered a strength, she is a leader, and a good strategist. Weaknesses: Depending on the subject she can become too emotionally involved in her tasks, being a Gundam pilot this could be a serious flaw. Personality: Ariel is confident and opinionated, but voices her thoughts rarely. She focuses on getting things done in terms of her responsibilities, off the clock though she’s a bit of a joker. She’s friendly enough to those she feels deserve it, but she often refuses to interact with those she does not like. Motivation: Her father had taught her that anyone could change the world if they only had the guts to stand up and fight.

Her father was a military officer, part of the peace keeping program, her mother left them both when she was 3.
