Fandom Gundam Build Fighters RE: Lore & History

[Gundam Watcher 27]

History: year is 2035, exactly 16 years after the discovery of the acceldron particle over at Bandai R&D. This Particle was developed with the intention to allow people to have mobile suit battles as seen on TV, in real life. After testing, the production of millions of battle tables would begin, and advertisements would promote the fledgling sport. Fast forward, there were side effects discovered whenever certain people came into contact with a battle table and had their first Gunpla Battle. These people would gain enhanced awareness, not unlike the different fictional psychics who existed in the Gundam serie. Some of these people called themselves newtypes or X Rounders or Coordinators. The scientific term that only a rare few use is "Esper".

During the last Gunpla Battle world championship, the number of Espers participating outnumbered that of regular people, and thus a few shady government groups decided to try and create programs to counter Espers, with various degrees of success. However, anyone who used these programs went insane as a result, thus the use of said programs are banned.... but rumors of a few individuals who use them keep running around.
The illegal programs take names based on the various systems used in the Gundam series, from the Zero System to the EXAM system.

Glossary of Important Terms

Echo Fighter - A type of Gunpla Battler who pilot straight built mobile suits and have the same appearance as a Important character from the Gundam Series. These people also have the same name they use as those characters when they go into battle. An example: Tetsuo Uji uses a Straight Build Astrea type F, and resembles Fon Spaak, the main character of the Gundam 00 Side Stories.

Esper - Newtype, X Rounder, Coordinator, Witch.... no matter what the series the term originates from and what the pilot refers to their abilities as, these gunpla fighters have psychic abilities that have been scientifically referred to by certain people as Espers. Regardless of what they're called, these gifted pilots tend to perform better than an average human in a Gunpla Battle.
