Wow this thing sure blew up while I was gone. Time for another late night TL;DR post.
First off, some questions/concerns I have:
1) According to @
ThatOneBelgianGuy , A-01 was kidnapped and experimented on because of his aura, correct? I was under the assumption that they received their auras after the experiments with the mech suits were complete. Or is A-01 just a special case? Perhaps he was one of the few with a "natural" aura and the bad guys just used him to see how they could amplify it?
2) Speaking of A-01, I like the idea behind using his name as part of the ranking system, but obviously, he can't be the most powerful character, and so we'll need a 'higher' rank, as has already been mentioned. I'm personally one of the people who's used to S being higher than A in a lot of systems, but if that's bringing up so much conflict, how about just a "U" rank for now, which can stand for characters/monsters with "unknown" statistics, or simply those that are encountered with higher power than A-01. It can just be a temporary classification, and we can change it later.
3) As for me helping with the art, I'll be glad to sketch up some simple
(possibly meh) designs for Sita and A01, as well as any other characters that might come up. Just keep in mind that I really can't draw much mecha-related stuff, so don't expect any of that sorta thing from me lol.
4) Now, this is a big one: Considering we'll in space, I'm assuming the MC's group will be encountering non-human characters, correct? Will it be possible for non-human characters to have been involved with the mecha suit experiments?

And now some of my two cents:
1) I'm +1 for prioritizing characters over the plot atm. I'm also +1 for Arric's idea for the spaceship, though, to clarify, @
Aricc the Lost , would "White Dove of the Universe" be the name of the MC's group's ship? Or an ISS of sorts?
2) If we decide on allowing non-humans (whether aliens, anthropomorphic creatures, androids, etc) as our ex-pilots, would anyone object to adding a few of these characters as part of the ecchi side of our plot? Since a) we need more female characters and b) human-only characters in a space/supernatural manga would be pretty boring imo.
3) We should also include a character or two in the main group that
wasn't part of experiments. So, no mecha suit experience, no uber powers, etc. This could be a childhood friend to the MC, a stowaway, an informant, really anything. They would most likely play a big part in comedic relief.
And they'll also have a high chance of dying or being MIA later on, but well, that's for later.
4) ... and I forget where else I was going with this list. (Curse my tendencies to only log on when I'm sleep deprived and can't think anymore)
