Or it can be a fanfiction thread with heavy use of original characters. I find that that takes a the thread a lot further.
Also, if people would read everyone else's work and comment on them.
I wonder have you got in mind. The USA rep has already appeared and she has a TON of gear. Knowing you... Demogirl IS?
Probably need a bit more information about the weapons it has. Otherwise, a good start!
Though the character description reminds me of someone I know who was voiced by Chiwa Saito in an anime about suicidal plushies.
That said, how are we going about the personal IS business? From what Rin mentions, there're only 3 personal cores in school, or at least in the year. Or are we going to retcon that?
CHEESY WEAPONS SPAAAAAAAAAAM
I love the smell of missile exhaust in the morning.
Again, another personal core? But asides from that, well-made!
As a sidenote, I find it hilarious that an IS is banned from being used for war, but all the canon IS we see so far, even the Shirogane, carries enough firepower to start one. Logically, I'd have my IS loaded with all sorts of paintball weapons, rather than incendiary stuff that can level a small building.
Though once you ignore how much it rapes canon, it's a pretty good concept... just try and make it a bit more understandable in terms of specs to those of us who only know Armored Core by its title only?

I'll repeat again, there's a preference for personal IS cores, but so far the IS academy has only 3: Rin, Ichika and Cecilia, as Houki mentions in episode 3. I went around that with an extensively-upgraded mass production IS for my OC, which again is a nod to my motherland's knack for buying old junk and turning them into upgraded
obiang monsters. But as we can see, there's still personal cores popping up in the thread.
As the Dragonball rule goes, personal IS cores are implied to be much stronger than MPIS cores. Forcing everyone to use MPIS who provide a power ceiling to our creations and make it more believable. Also reduces the risk of being retconned by canon later.
What shall be our stance on them? Allow and retcon canon, or go back and do it again?
