The Abram Dynasty is a military government; offices of power are held by soldiers and associates of soldiers (family, friends, etc). In theory, offices are hereditary, but in practice, there's a lot more nepotism about it these days. Military bias also extends into everyday life; an informal caste system exists between the privileged "soldier" class and the underprivileged "everyone else" class.
All mobile infantry units produced under the Abram Dynasty are cross-compatible with each other, but due to lack of innovation are almost wholly incompatible with and vastly inferior to mobile infantry units smuggled in from other colonies. Not to mention that cross-construction is illegal without the government's express permission. That said, it is still possible to build a scrapper suit; it would just be very difficult.
OKay sick! That's good, I was thinking of a character who was the disgraced illegitimate son of a military official!
I see. Will any of the basic frames for the mobile infantry units bear resemblance to a certain cyclopian MS?
Not any of the government-produced units. As for units that get smuggled in... it's possible.
Scrapper is gonna give it a custom head then.
You're absolutely free to do this, but Titan is a moon of Saturn where people live, not a group to get back at. That kind of Titan is somewhere else.
About the closest thing it gets here to special mobile suit/pilot interfacing is when the true Gundams sync with their pilots' willpower and fighting spirit through Nebulous Hot-Blooded Anime Powers™ that have been lost to history since they were sealed away. Aside from that, effective mobile suit piloting relies solely on the pilot's own skill; no psychic evolution or spinal implant required.
As was mentioned elsewhere, humanity has set up colonies throughout the solar system all the way up to Saturn's moons. Titan has answered mostly to itself and done its own thing ever since the Abram Dynasty was founded and the moon closed itself off to rebuild and restructure. Now that it's opened back up, people are starting to realize that even their fellow far-fringe Saturn-orbiters have developed much faster thanks to open trade with the rest of humanity, and that Titan is way behind everyone else in terms of technology and society.
So, like the Zero System from Wing?
Basically, yeah.
Good question! I... haven't thought about it yet; I'll get back to you on this one.
The best way to describe how this RP is going to play out is "mostly sandbox." There are some pre-existing factions and a general history for y'all to draw on, but there's also plenty of gaps that y'all can fill with whatever you like- other scrapper bands, PMC's and pirate crews, landmarks, cities, even specific historical events. As far as plot goes, the only real guiding plot point is that the Kameyama Troupe discovers a Gundam's resting place; how they do it and what comes from it are entirely up to y'all. Once the RP proper starts, I'll sprinkle in some extra whispers of current events on Titan that y'all can pursue or ignore in favor of your own quests. There will also be lots of opportunities for PvP stuff, if that's something y'all want to pursue.
No worries, mate. Thanks for sticking around as long as you did. Hope you find what you're looking for.
That's essentially what's going to happen for this RP. As was mentioned, once the RP proper is up I'll begin dangling some potential plot threads, and y'all can decide whether you want to tug on them and see where they lead. There'll also be some NPC's present to accompany/guide your characters on their quests who might offer some additional potential directions to go.
