Yeah, someone where between 2-6 would be nice. Seeing that we are up to 5 now, things are starting to look up now. Well with people signed up, if anymore people want to join it is still open. Though picking what you want to do. I figure in most cases a Gundam Pilot, which is why there are plenty of places for you. I have no real set number on how many Gundam Pilots, but the normal formula was either 1 or 5, but I figure somewhere between there is perfectly fine.

As for the masked villain, heck he can be on the good guys side, though in Gundam good guys are a very relative term, seeing as in most cases both sides are equally evil, just there is the lesser of two evils in most cases, the one being more evil than the other. In G-Gundam there was a masked character, though he was a good guy, until the end when you found out that he was actually a villain. And in many cases the masked villain is the main character's common foe. Except in the case of Gundam Seed, where he was not really after Kira so much, more looking to Mu, for his own reasons.

But anyway, I have Gundam out my ears with Newtype, so if you have any questions or concerns when writing or just needing to know if you are within the field of the genre just ask away.

Remember you are not required to be a Gundam Pilot. You can be a Federation Mobile Suit Pilot, or something else of your design to fit it. Though we do have to keep in mind, that unless we get more people wanting to sign up, it will just be the five of us. Which limits to a degree how much freedom you have, but try not to let it weigh you down. If you want to be a mechanic, go for it.

I will start things off with my character.

Name : Shizuka Hiraoka
Age : 14
Sex : Female
Nationality : Japanese
Appearance : Hair almost down to her knees, pink highlights the rest a mid-blonde, obviously dyed. Short around 4'8" and usually wears dirt caked woven dress, with thick long sleeves usually tied back by ribbon or cloth when working in the fields. Usually can find dirt on her face and hands from working in the fields.
Background : Shizuka is the estranged daughter of the chief GUNDAM development engineer, Yukio Kitawara. When his wife died, the two became distant, he delved into his work forgetting more and more about Shizuka. After an argument she left Antarctica City and never made contact with him since.
Shizuka took a flight one of the new agrocultural developments in the South Asia region and wondered from village to village at the age of 8 until near exhaustion and dehydration made her collapse in a village far to the north near the safety zone. The people gave her aid and nursed her back to health, for which in repaidment for their kindness she remained in the village to help with the work.
Since then she has returned to her mother's maiden name and to spite some of her own Japanese hertiage that she got from her father, she dyed her blonde, which has since begun to fade slowly to black over the years. (Technology of the day, allows for longer lasting hair colors, so do not think it odd, since for us it would probably have changed back fully in half a year or less, since she is growing.)
Her normal day is working in the fields morning to night, which each season it gathered and some kept by the village the rest sent back to Antarctica City to feed the people. Life in the village is rough with little technology other than the terraformers, so much of the land looks like it would from the 1800s. There are a few amendities such as running water and plumbing and the rarity of some electronic device, probably a calculator.
She enjoys and prefers this life, opposed to the almost elitist views that the city people have. Technology runs their lives and they are only concerned about their position and getting results, family, people, emotions do not seem to matter to them; they just get in the way for getting the work done.
However, HOPE needs pilots and Yukio wants his daughter to be one of them and has started efforts to locate her and bring her back forcibly, if necessary.

Well I think that is about it, and oh if you are not sure. You are all in, so do not worry about that. Make your character profile post and we will go on from there. And bring others if you think might be interested.
