So you want to join the Eureka Seven RPG? Great! Fortunatly, I've spun together a quick and easy to understand guide to help you through the process. First we'll start with basics.

The title should be formatted like so

[Faction Name] Current Week in the RPG - Character Name

For example,

Quote:
 
[Gekko State] Week 1 - Test Character


Next is the Character Sheet. Heres what a Character Sheet should look like.

Quote:
 
Name: Your Pilot Here
Age: Your Pilot's Age
Persona: Write a blurb about your character's personality and mindset.
Biography: Write a brief discription of your character's backstory, their motives and passions, and how they ended up where they are. The more detailed the better!
Appearance: Write about what he/she looks like, or better yet, include a picture!
Faction: Which faction they're affiliated with.
Funds: How much money you have in Credits (cR). All newbies are alloted 5000cR to build their first LFO

LFO:
  Name: Your LFO's Name; usually model type and number (ie: Terminus B303)
  Weight: Your LFO's Total weight in lbs. Each part used has a weight included, just add.
  Shematic:
     Archetype: The kind of Archetype used.
     Armor: The type and amount of armor equiped to your LFO
     Control Interface: The type of controls used in your LFO. Will be expanded on.
     Ref Board: The Ref board your LFO uses.
     Upgrades: Any upgrades to your LFO (ie: Compac Feedback System)
     Weapons: List any weapons used on your LFO (ie: 2x Boomerang Knife, 1x M-99 Assault Rifle etc.)
     Cost: The total cost of your unit in Credits (cR)

Stats:
  Connection: The connection between pilot and LFO. This is the total for all other values.
  Agility: The speed of your LFO.
  Power: The damage capability of your LFO
  Lift: The amount of trappar-intake your LFO can achieve.
  Defense: The damage-resistance capability of your LFO



Doesn't make a lot of sense, does it? Well let me explain! Your Pilot's profile is easy, just follow whats there. The sticky part is working on your LFO.

If you look at the "Shop" section of the forum, you'll notice that there are sections for each type of part. The Shop is where you'll go to purchase the pieces of your LFO. As stated before, new players are allotted 5000cR to build their first LFO. Each part in the shop has various bits of information you'll need to look out for as a new player. Lets start from the top, Archetypes!

Here is an example of an Archetype in the shop.

Quote:
 
Part Name: CSS-900 Kraft-Light-Fighter Archetype
Part Cost: 1000cR
Load: 1500lbs
Class: Light
Description: The CSS-900 is a standard archetype for both Military and Civilian use. Although its slender frame and small load tolerance detract from its customizability, its an ideal choice for a pilot who's tight on funds.


Now lets break that down.

The part name is exactly what it sounds like. The Name of the part!
Part Cost is how much money you'll have to spend to use the archetype.
Load is how much weight the archetype can carry. The total weight of your LFO cannot exceed the load tolerance of your archetype.
Class is used to denote the specific design functions of an LFO. For example, our CSS-900 is classed as a "Light" archetype. This limits the type and number of weapons available to it. Alternatively, a "Heavy Gunner" class archetype would have a wider array of weapons to use, but will cost more. Below is a chart for understanding the Class System.

Light: Capable of carrying a maximum of THREE weapons, and may only use weapons classed under the "Standard" category.

Close-Combat: Can carry a maximum of THREE Weapons as well as TWO weapons from the "Melee" category. Can use "Standard" parts.

Sniper: Can carry a Maximum of FOUR weapons; Can equip parts from the "Long-Range" category. Can use "Standard" parts.

Heavy Gunner: Can carry a total of FOUR weapons and is able to equip parts from the "Heavy" category. All LFOs of this type lose 5 points of agility and gain 50lbs to load tolerance. Can use "Standard" parts.

Vanguard: Can carry FOUR weapons and has access to "Specialized" parts. Any LFO of this type loses 5 points of Defense. Can use "Standard" parts.

Grandmaster: Can carry THREE weapons from any category. The most expensive class.

Each class has its one specialization, so when selecting an archetype, think carefully about how you want your LFO to turn out. Next, we'll move on to Armor.

Quote:
 

Part Name: Titanium-A Plating
Part Cost: 500cR
Weight: 750lbs
Resistance: 70


Part name and cost are the same as above. Weight is how much the part itself weights. Resistance is how well the armor resists damage. For every 5 ponts of resistance, you can add 1 point to your Defense Stat.

Next is Control Interface.

Quote:
 

Part Name: Kiba-77 Motion-tracer Interface
Part Cost: 500cR
Rectification: 100


For each 5 points in Rectification, add 1 point to Agility.

And now, Ref boards!

Quote:
 

Part Name: Axel220 Longboard
Part Cost: 500cR
Part Type: External
Part Weight: N/A
Trappar Intake: 100


Part Type indicates if the board is External (a regular board), or Integrated (built into the LFO). External Boards do NOT count towards the total weight of your LFO. Integrated Boards DO count to the total weight, but generally have better Trappar Intake, albeit higher costs. For every 5 points in Trappar Intake, add 1 point to Lift.


Upgrades will have a myriad of effects. Any stat effects will be mentioned in the part listing.

Finally, weapons!

Quote:
 

Part Name: M-99 Assault Rifle
Part Cost: 500cR
Part Weight: 550lbs
Part Class: Standard
Output: 80
Accuracy: 75



Part class indicates what category the weapon fits into. Output is how much damage is inflicted by the weapon. For each 5 points of Output, add 1 point to Power. Accuracy is how likely you are to hit the target on a scale of 0 to 100.

And thats that! Your very first LFO!

Finally and MOST IMPORTANTLY, every application must include a 500 word MINUMUM "Sample Chapter". This not only gives us some more information on your character, but shows us you can actually function in the RPG. Its a lot easier than it sounds, believe me!

With that, Good luck! If you have any questions, feel free to PM me.
