Sorry, but I have been frustrated lately and I wish to vent. I hope nobody minds.
Seriously, is is THAT ****ing hard to come up with good characters? Half the RPs I've seen (present company excluded) are full of blatant avatars of their creators, with no flaws, lots of advantages, and the best MS this side of the Turn A. It's like they think role-playing is a game to win.
And what is up with the NAMES?! Really now, what kind of parent gives their child a name like Serenity Seraphim Starflower? I am sick to death of people signing up characters whose names have more symbolism in three or four words than were contained in all 26 episodes of Evangelion!
And is it that hard to get proportions right? It's amazing how many characters I've seen who are short and fat or tall and unhealtily skinny.
Rargh, I may rant more later.

You should see the Ninja RP Guild I'm in... all the Naruto character ripoffs are almost funny, if it weren't so overwhelmingly pathetic.
As for Gundam RPs, people really don't know how to name Gundam characters. You're probably better making up words to use in the name than using stuff like you gave an example of - Yazan? Quattro Bajeena? Paptimus Scirocco? Yeah, made up words probably outdo some of those names stare
And the overpowered MS can go burn in a pit of hell and DIE DIE DIEDIEDIE! I mean, its one thing if you're taking the main villain spot - main villains always get to pwn the heroes, even if Gundam is a bit of an exception to this rule on occasion.
Blame anime culture in general for appearances. Most anime characters are unrealistic, unfortunately, and most people want to follow suit.

I SOOO take offense >__>
I can say though, that i am a writer >_>.. and in RP's.. things go as they would depending on the characters. Take Seig for Instance...
Seig Arlion...SLIGHT psychic powers.. and thanks to an advanced nano-technology implemented in the mech that he pilots, yeah.. he's kinda godmode..XD! I'll admit it, his suit is over-powered, but I know where to stop things. Modding = Death *nods*
Shadowen = Advanced AI, nano-enhancing technology, and advanced armor shedding. It has like.. 2/10 defense.. and.. yeah >.> It's like.. Epyon.. only.. better. I make there there are Viable weakness' in every mech I create.
V-Units = Advanced Bio-genetic AI's. V-1 focus' on defense while the V-2 focus' on attack. Seperate them.. BAM.. they're done for.. It's just that they're MASSIVE.
>__> But I'm done ranting. I know that there can be little said about the names I come up with because I never steal them from anything.
Xion Keiya Saito AKA XiKeiyaZI
Seig Alrion
Himika Celron
Velcore ( Yeah.. no last name )
Haohmaru Kirumanzy
Kentaku Alhelar
Zantaku Alhelar
Yeah >.>. But that's all in my defense.. heheh. But I agree with you * nods* Things such as " HAH! YOU CAN'T HURT ME! * Wound heals * I AM A DEMON! HARHARHARHAR " .. Yeah.. that can be annoying.

Well I say to those who think that they can do better then show me that you can.
And point out straight to the person that you didn't like straight out plain and level.
If there is going to be a hell then unleash it then don't hold it in like that.
Or you could do better , you could point out and told the person on what is wrong without hurting that person's pride , emotions, as you're dealing with real life people that breathes and have emotions not some emotionless machines.
Also I believe that the Lady Une stated out something about tolerance.
To create something fully as perfect as near the level of the real Gundam wing series, People needed much time as those people that make gundam wing story worked in a teams of real experts.
Nobody is perfect , you have to accept that fact !
For names not all people have splendid names. To be realistic people names are very much random. Some are very beautiful some are very are just plain common as it account to the realism of it.
If you mean that anime characters should all be named with japanesse names then it would not be realistic as the characters that formed within the story that copes a global scale.
And I think that this topic should be moved to the chatterbox not in the miniguild roleplay thread as I don't see any relation of what we discuss here.
Oh and yeah I bleed heavily here.. your words really pierces deep.

hmm...rant rant rant. it seems like thats what a lot of people do when their angry or frustrated. so...why not just do something about it then neh? if you can get them to listen then educate them on proper rp style. granted i still am not exactly sure of what it is and i do have a slight problem of godmoding, but when im called on it i stop, take a step back, breath, then say 'ok lets try this again.' then things move on usually smoothly. but still it cant hurt to try to show them proper style. even though i seem to lack grammatical correctness right now. sweatdrop

Mobile Suit creation is one of my favorite aspects of roleplaying stuff like Gundam... my most recent concept, Zephyr Wing, is pretty balanced for a Gundam. Specs are slightly higher all around than Wing Gundam, slightly lower than Wing Zero. Main weapon is a two-in-one, super-long range beam cannon (the range is the most overpowered part of the MS) + a beam blade that can extend from the barrel. Also carries a backup saber, machine guns in the wing binders on the back, and some missiles.
That said, I'm ranting about my MS design. I tend to do that at times... I could rant forever on concepts and ideas, so just ignore me...

I was thinking of creating a varied MS for my NPC and my enemies and I hope to create a variety of strong nemessis like NPC's MS for the purpose like in the games where we come up with a strong BOSS.
Off course I might have to adjusted the design so that it will fit the rule in my roleplay.

Just so you know, I'm good at the conceptual part of design, but I can't really draw very well. I can describe them, but I can't actually draw a picture of what they'd look like.

Aona Just so you know, I'm good at the conceptual part of design, but I can't really draw very well. I can describe them, but I can't actually draw a picture of what they'd look like. Same here, i can conceive them, but i cannot draw them. and that is why i do not function well in art class! sweatdrop Besides that thread really does need more players. I think there is only about 4 including the creator.

Well about the pictures , there is no need for a detailed picture of it.
The picture is not that important in my opinion.
I just need to know what the MS generally look like and most importantly the technical stuff that make up the MS.You can just describe the MS with words on how it look like.
As about the drawings/pictures I too get stuck , especially in the battleships. cause as we all know that there is no heavy battleships/carrier in Gundam wing series. All there is just a couple of MS transport , space or inside the atmospheric.
For the MS I needed all of your creativity in molding the whole richness of the variety of electronics systems , weapons system , armor , booster and the MS performance.
But in my humble opinion try to put some give and take such as :
- if the MS is heavily armored then it have slower movement due to the thickness of the armor.
- Advanced Electronics system all crammed up into a MS , means that some of the power is directed to power those systems.
- Lighter MS have better dodging capabilities , but low armor.
But then again those are only my personal humble opinion.
Well best of luck Good luck geniuses in creating new type of MS.
