Tristan's Stipend Contest

[Tristan]

Here we go. I've finally decided what to do with my stipend every month. Each month, I'm going to give a picture or a unit I want to see customized. This will be everything from what we have todays, to variations of other units, to ideas in my own head. These units will always be non-unique, and I'll set some guidelines;

These units must be in theme with their storylines (No G-walls a Gundam). They must be reasonable as well. I will give choices on units later, but if they exceed my stipend (1000 PC), you will have to cover the rest yourself.. unless you can convince Imban or Radius to contribute. The submission fee will be pre-paid as well.

You will submit your customization submission, as if you were giving me the unit normally. The best submission will get their name in the credits in the R&D, and their version used. Good luck.

With this said, let me give you the first unit!

-----------------------------------

Having already modified every other unit in Zeon and Earth's aresonal,

Ace Pilot Char Aznable began to look for a new suit to bear his

fearsome title, "The Red Comet." While scavaging the aftermath of a

recent battle, Char found the hull of a ball, still in good condition.

The small, rather weak unit was not a match for any current mobile

suit, but with his genius, Char would create possibly one of the most

terrifing weapons ever created.

From an armed standpoint, the ball was pathetic. It's 180 MM Cannon was easily doged in combat. The suit was ofted destroyed before a shot could be fired. Char had it replaced with a spare hand from the Zeong project. Not only did the ball now carry a deveststing Mega Particle Gun, but the wire guidance system was installed into the Ball's frame so that Char could take advantage of his Newtype powers.

The Ball's second "weapon" was its manipulator arms, designed for construction work. They provided little no no use in actual melee combat. In order to give them a more fuctional combat role, Char ran electricity through them, so that they might tempoairly disable attacking MS.

With the addition of all this new equipment, the reactor had to be replaced with a larger model. To compensate for the increased weight, vernier jets were mounted all around the frame to increase the suit's mobility and speed.

Having completed his monster, Char repainted it in his trademark red color scheme and added two horns to the top, serving the dual purpose of penetrating armor during a ram manuever and giving a suit a more menacing look. Char's Customized Ball was now complete and ready to terrorize the Earth Federation Forces.

Summary:
-EN increase
-Addition of weaker versions of Mega Particle Gun and Wire-Guided Hand
-Remove Recolless Cannon
-Addition of Electrified Claw PARALYZE attack
-Removal of set DC
-Possible negative DC mod at the cost of an item slot
-Tackle does a little more damage

Project to Paint the Universe Red: Char's Customized Ball Ver. Ka[/color][/size]
by Aurelia Halegoode

Kyaa~! Char-sama asked ME to build a custom mobile suit for him~! Sure it's a really old and ugly and weak Feddie mobile suit, and he only gave me a picture[/url] to work with, but still~~!

Anyways, the unit was originally designed for colony construction purposes, and was only retrofitted with some makeshift weaponry to serve as a last ditch space-based defense for the Earth Federal Forces. Thus, a typical Ball was pretty weak, so to start we stripped the unit to its' skeleton and removed pretty much everything on the unit, as it's all pretty outdated and will be of no use on the finished model. Gone were the hideously slow thrusters, the minimally thin "armor plating", and the trademark tacked-on cannon, so that we may rebuild the unit from the ground up.

First off was a new reactor, to serve as the basis for powering the many new weapons and systems to be present in the new unit. To support the added weight that would be present in the new unit, a much newer thruster system was added as well, which also brings the unit up to the standards set by his other customized units.

Next, we put our attention to the weapons systems on the unit. To support the ideas Char had in mind for the unit, we needed to add some sort of psycommu interface for the pilot - unfortunately, the limited size of the unit would only let us go so far. Thus, we needed to add the simplest and most compact psycommu system we could on the unit - which would be a Biosensor. We compressed the system's mechanics as much as we could and added it into the unit, which afterwards only allowed for a very small room for the pilot - however, I'm sure Char won't mind too much..

Then, we decided to work on the weapons themselves. In the place of the rather weak and inaccurate cannon, we decided to rip off a hand from the salvaged remains of the Zeong and stick that in its' place, connecting it to the Biosensor to allow Char to control it just as well as he did on the Zeong. In addition, we made some enhancements to the front claws of the unit, attaching wires on them to allow them to project out and grapple onto enemy mobile suits, which gives Char a better chance to close in on his prey and attack it.

Finally, we upgraded the armor plating around the unit, so that just in case Char does wind up taking an unlucky hit from a random passing shot, it's less likely for critical components of the unit to be affected. And, as a very special present, the trademarked red paint we used on the unit also happens to be made of a beam-resistant coating which allows the unit to be resistant to weaker beam weaponry.

Satisfied with our creation, we let Char himself look over the final creation, to see if it meets his high standards. I hope he likes it~[/i][/color]

Ball Char Aznable Type

img109.exs.cx/img109/5598/charrbkjpg2jq.jpg

During the early days of the One Year War, a certain Zeon Ace named Char Aznable gains his nickname and reputation by single-handedly sinking five EF motherships. And thus, from that day onwards, he began to give his Red color scheme to all the Suits he's in, which really strengthens his presence in the battlefield.

The fact that was not widely known to public that during the One Year War, however, is that Char has customized not only Zeon suits, but also various Federation Suits that were captured during the War. One such of those Char-Customized Federation units is this RB-79-CA Ball Char Aznable type. Its original form, the RB-79 Ball, is a pretty weak unit that can barely stand on its own, and it proved to be quite a challenge for even the Red Comet himself to customize this suit to make it more usable. But in the end, the Char's customized version proves to be a much better suit than the normal version, which, coupled with Char Aznable's superb piloting skills, can stand toe-to-toe against most of massproduced OYW suits.

The most notable change on this suit is the removal of the 180mm Recoilless Cannon. While it makes a good weapon for long-range combat, the weapon has a slow rate of fire, and thus, it renders the Ball vulnerable if the enemy managed to evade the first shot. To remedy this problem, Char removed the Cannon altogether, and replaced it with the Wire-Guided Hand Beam Gun, a prototype weapon to be installed in Zeon's latest suit, the Zeong.

Another significant change is the additional electric supply to the Ball's hands, giving it the ability to deliver electric shock to whatever it touches with.

Additional armor plating and thrusters are also installed, to give the much needed extra agility and durability for this unit, and to be able to keep up with Char's reflexes.

In the end, the Ball becomes quite a force in the battlefield under Char's hands. While not to the extent of a real Mobile Suit, this Char's Customized suit is able to hold on its own in battle.

In a few occasions, Char would take this Ball in battle, taking out Federation officers as they're bedazzled with the presence of a Red-painted ball with a hand on its head.

Summary:
Stats Mod:
-HP & EN boost (15%-30%).
Armaments Mod:
-Remove 180mm Recoiless Cannon.
-Add Zeong's Wire-Guided Hand Beam Gun, (BPX), 15 damage/EN. Damage could be lowered.
-Add Hand Beam Gun, a # 5 weapon. This is the Wire Guided Hand Beam Gun, except when the Hand's stay put on its place, and it should be usable to non-NT/EH since it stays put. Damage for each shot and EN cost should be pretty low, around 2~5 for damage and 1~3 for EN cost.
-Remove Tackle, add Shock Arms, a # 2 weapon that can also paralyze. EN Cost should be none or very low, around 1~2.
Abilities Mod:
-Countershoot for Wire-Guided Hand Beam Gun and Hand Beam Gun.
-Dodge cost - remove dodge cost of 10, and replace with locked DC of 5~10 or a -5~-7 dodge cost.
-Bump rank to Corporal.

PS: Good thing Notepad has undo function. Else, I'd have to write this up for the FOURTH time. My school comp's mouse's sure is dumb. >_<
