Welcome to the shattered world of Praeteria, now emerging from a 700 year darkness, when the old world died in a hail of fire and then smothered under the blanket of an eternal winter. Now the world is putting itself back together, but yet some relics of the old world remain. Tools of war, using technology long lost to the people of this new world; Giant metal gods that range from the size of a large tree to a small mountain. The people who found these machines are the rulers of this new world. You are one of these people, but unlike some of the others around you, the machine you found is relatively weak, but that's not to say you couldn't level a city with it. It is an odd time, with god machine and armored knight roaming the land in stride, but it is also a time of opportunity, as the fledgling nations of the world seek to both expand their borders and deal with neighbors, be it by the quill or the sword, or alternatively, giant laser death cannon.

On this great stage, there are 13 great actors, they are as follows:
The Fire Lords: Great lords of the southwest, they founded a kingdom amidst the mighty mountains and terrible volcanoes of the mighty Athallian Mountains. Their kingdom is ruled by the Fire Lord Ozai, pilot of the Battle Titan "Solus"
The People of the Forest: A simple tribe of peaceful folk located southeast of the Fire Lords, they are ruled by an elected council and guarded by the mighty Titan "Wrath of the Trees"
G'ratgh's Acolytes: Cultist of the Jungle, they worship the magnificent G'ratgh - the King in Yellow. They seek to convert the world to their faith and purge the unbelievers in offering to their lord. They are headed by the Head Cultist Travith, pilot of the mighty Sky fortress "The Quiet Wind"
The Reach: A Northern realm, not much is known about it. It's is commanded by a tyrannical despot by the name of Arthus, who defends his realm from his mobile fortress "Arthus's Arrogance"
The Frozen Men: An enigmatic nation in the far north, they are really seen, and few who see them live to tell the tale. No one knows who rules them, or if they even have any cities or culture to speak of. What is known is that they were the ones who discovered a secret military base in the arctic, and possess the strongest mechas in the world. They're mighty giants can sometime be seen plowing the snow drifts of the far north on the edges of their lands, as tall as the towers of those who came before, the ones that scraped the sky.
Karn: Another northern nation, this nation is situated among the forest of the near north, not far from the great desert of Arahk. It is a democracy, one of the few that exist in this new world. As opposed to a few very powerful mechas, Karn possess facilities and wealth enough to (limitedly) manufacture many smaller mechas.
The Commune: A nation of farmers, they possess some of the best land in all of Praeteria, but also stumbled upon a gem in the dirt as well. The mighty mecha-carrier "Unending Agony" is a terrible beast. A massive carrier that holds a host of smaller mecha inside of it. It alone is a beast to be reckoned with, but with its "little friends" it ensures that The Commune remains relatively undisturbed.
Tarth: A nation on the equator, among the trees of the vast Qualanti Forest near the yellow sea, one of largest deserts on the planet. They are a nation of merchants, and through guile and skill, have managed to procure the mighty tunneling mecha "Core Tapper" which safeguards their lands from threats.
The Ugorian Freehold: Situated on the equator in the small gulf of Bello, the Ugorian free hold is a nation of sea travelers. If you come across a ship on the planet, there's a safe bet that at least one Ugori is aboard. Befitting such, their port capital is guarded by the might sea mecha "Leviathan" captained by the sea lord Onsen, leader of the Freehold.

The Hidden Valley: Tucked away on an island, surrounded by mighty mountains and situated in a fertile valley lies the Hidden Valley. Its people were spared the horrors of the war that destroyed the world by said world's ignorance of its existence. The valley used to be a cave, inhabited by a race of long forgotten people, closely related to the baseline humans that inhabited the surface. The weapons of the old world stripped away the roof of the cavern, and the valley emerged. Its people were very simple, but have since recovered enough technology to be on par with the other emerging nations. The have a tribalisitc society, where the strongest male is chief, and gets all the bitches.
Heaven's Touch: In the Yellow Sea is a small mountain range, high enough to receive enough snow to melt for water, and the slopes get a paltry amount of rain to grow some food. This is Heaven's touch, the Land in the clouds. An all-female society, which has earned their warriors the moniker "Valkyries” Their mechas have limited flight capabilities to help traverse the dangerous landscape they call home. They are defended by the large artillery emplacement "God's Gun" a stationary mecha with a 980 mm gun, hence the name, and the saying that when the gun fires "God's wrath is felt".
Hoffman's Chosen: A nation descended from the pre-war Televangelist Delores Hoffman, they have since defied their ancestor and seek to spread his light to the world. Most cities have a preacher of the Hoff within their walls. They have the Flying Mecha "Light of the One True Hoffman" A cumbersome mecha that floats through unknown means. Followers of the faith insist that it is by "The Will of Delores"
Preforia: Settlers of the shifting sands of the southeast, they are raiders first, and artist second. Survivors of the old world faith of Zetsim, they are ruled by the Caliph H'zammiu, who's harem is said to contain a women from every spit of land on the world, and all the daughters of his enemies. His people roam the sands, scrounging for old technology that was lost here in the old wars. They also have fast amphibious mecha that they use to raid many foreign lands with impunity from the relative far distance of their continent.

>Name: Atsuko Cheng
>Faction: Heaven's Touch
>Fluff: Atsuko Chenge is the child of an unlikely relationship, her mother a Valkyrie who fell in love with a man of the The Fire Lords. Alas, there are no men Heaven's Touch, and so to marry this man her mother had to leave the company of her sisters. In time, and with heavy hearts, they had to leave her at the doorstep of Heaven's Touch, that she might train herself to become a woman and a warrior as her own mother did. As a young child, her spirit bore the fiery passion of of her father while her soul was instilled with the faith of her mother, and her body bears the union of both. It was this passion and dedication that ultimately set her on the path to become a very specific type of Valkyrie pilot.
For it was not of any flying suit, nor even of the God's Gun, that she was besmitten with a desire to wield. But it was upon a mass that she heard the music coming forth from the the shining pipes of "St. Katyusha", that her heart was fueled with a fire to become the one that sang the war tunes of the mecha. And so she begged her teachers to let her study the lessons both musical and real, practiced and trained day in and day out until making music of the keyboard was natural to her, and nearly lived and slept within the confines of the machine she dreamt of piloting, where she would live in.
And now that day has finally arrived, and a new Valkyrie pilot is raised into the world. Not of any flighty or speedy craft, but of the zealous and righteous might and voice that is St. Katyusha!

Mecha:
>Name: St. Katyusha
>Fluff: Though not nearly as famous nor as loud as the God's Gun, St. Katyusha is the lesser known but formidable artillery suit, which sits next to the center piece of Heaven's Touch. Not of a giant and mighty cannon, but of something else entirely. Upon the back of this massive arachnoid mobile suit stands tall and proud a 61 gleaming pipes arranged as though a cathedral organ. For each pipe is actually a missile launcher, and the firing mechanism of each linked to a keyboard within the cockpit of the suit. Each press of a single note launches micromissiles and rockets shaped and built in such a way as they travel through the air they scream a specific tune. So it is that the firing of the suit is done in such a way that they bring forth a symphony of destruction, bringing praise to our God.
The pilot must be trained not only in the science of piloting such a machine but also the art of musical praise, for the St. Katyusha is as much a weapon of morale as it is of destruction. Valkyries are more willing to charge a foe after they have been showered with the music of St. Katyusha, while enemies hear the approaching hymn and tremble with fear before the scions of our God.
This is the primary and for now, only armament. Whatever part of the suit that does not contain the cockpit and is not responsible for motion is dedicated to the artillery superweapon. Targeting and communication systems, ammunition synthesis devices and ammunition storage, and the reloading mechanism all made to ensure if the pilot so wished they could play a symphony for many hours before even needing to reload.
Although it is different from the normal Valkyrie suit, a huge, bulking, and slow machine that can barely lumber across the landscape and ambulate difficult terrain thanks to its many legs it is nonetheless a revered one and an honor to pilot much like the God's Touch. It's primary strategy is to stay well behind the front lines, and provide medium to long range support of allies from afar.

Name: Moira Ellison
Faction (If belonging to one): None, Mercenary
Fluff: Moira's story is a story of boredom. After being raised on a quiet farm, she found that she had a taste for the finer things in life not easily afforded by modest people of the soil. Those things? Better beds. Better food. Better company. Better entertainment. The barrier to those things? Money. And so Moira's quest began: she started out as a personal bodyguard, but eventually she developed her reputation as a cool professional who works only so long as the bills are paid. This is exemplified in her primary piece of equipment: that ugly machine was the result of an unpaid bill of a prior employer seized at gunpoint when payment was less than forthcoming. The way she sees it, he broke the rules of the sacred pact that all money is supposed to bring: the rule of contract. It is that rule that she obeys, but on her own time she is a careless spender blows most of her money gambling or otherwise amusing herself on whatever check she has pulled in from the prior mission; her notoriety for self-destructive partying is profound in proportional to her skill as a pilot. Generally Moira values money, good friends, firm commitments, and the pleasures of life wherever they can be found. Contra those values, Moira hates to be bored, hates farms, and hates people who are from “the soil”.

Mecha

Name: Stumpmeister
Fluff: “Ugly as hell”. “Hideous and sick-looking”. “Asymmetrical and tumorous”. “Goofy and nauseating to look upon”. “A walking assault on the eyes”. “An eyesore”. All of these phrases have been, at one point or another, been used to describe Moira's mecha Stumpmeister. These descriptions are accurate, but they have a tendency to focus on the – correctly noted – aesthetic limitations of the mecha while usually failing to omit the frankly effective capacity of Stumpmeister to mount nearly every sort of weapon system without much regard to size, spacing, technical feasibility, awkward gait, or other standard technical issues. This makes Stumpmeister exceedingly modular while also being extremely unpleasant to look upon: it has a tendency to baffle the opposition into questioning the sanity, skill, or aesthetic sensibility of the pilot. Indeed, this effect translates into actual results: sometimes the Stumpmeister's ocular assault affords Moira something of an advantage in attacking first. Ultimately, despite the ugly nature of the machine, Stumpmeister is a mecha every pilot loves because is is simply effective while being unconcerned with looks – truly it is 'an ugly wife that is a treasure in the home'.

>Name: Lavian Darsak
>Faction (If belonging to one): The Hidden Valley
>Fluff [How's your pilot different from everyone else?]: Lavian Darsak is a member of the forgotten race, different from the human's who destroyed the world but somehow closely related. As a member of the tribe he trained with swords and guns, the tribal rituals of old merely changing to become suitable to these new advances in technology. Like any valley-goer male he wishes to become stronger so as to attract the females of his race, and he has dedicated himself so much to this cause that he is his tribes equivalent of a perfectionist.
After years of training with gun and blade though he has found he lacks perfection in the most important part of this world, mecha combat. Alas he lacked a mecha, and for a time he felt that he would never be perfect or recieve mates. One day though while traveling the outskirts of the land he found a Dormant mecha! Eagerly climbing up to the cockpit he found a woman bleeding out in the seat. He attempted to heal her yet she held him at gunpoint, proclaiming that no woman of the Heaven's touch would dare let a man touch them.
This aggresive attitude from a female was quite new to Lavian, but it made him wonder. There is a whole group of unpacified women out in the world, waiting for a man to rule them?! This excited him almost more than the mecha, and he decided to leave the woman to die before returning for the mech. He took it back, had it repainted and edited, and soon took off with the mech to bring glory to the valley, to become perfect at mecha usage, and to subjugate the females of the Heaven's touch.

Mecha:
>Name: Transcendent Seer
>Fluff [How's your mecha different from every other one?]: Transcendent mind has two parts. The first part is the main suit, a bipedal and humanoid shaped weapon that comes equipped with a heavy shield on its back and a number of melee weapons for combat. This part is somewhat fragile, hence the heavy shield.
The second part is a four legged piece built for endurance and versatility. It can scale walls, absorb impacts with its heavy armor, fire its multiple inbuilt heavy repeaters, gouge steel with its claws, and if need be serve as another mecha entirely. This should only be activated in an emergency though.
Together the two pieces make a balanced mecha. Its not too lightly armored but not so heavily armored as to be slow or cumbersome. It can fight in melee combat and hold its own at range. When not together it can either be an offensive melee unit or a defensive support unit depending on which pieces are in use.

Pilot:
>Name: Aldernak Icar'Triarii
>Faction: None
>Fluff: The Triarii people are a complex group. Nomadic merchants and raiders they search the yellow sea for relics of the old world, keeping some they find and trading the rest to others in exchange for food. If the ruin hunts have been terrible the Triarii will resort to raiding smaller settlements upon the edge of the fertile lands for food and supplies before disappearing into the yellow sea once again.
Aldernak despised this existence of his people, but there was little he could do. Aldernak was your average Triarii man in the Icar tribe, taught to fight and survive alone in the desert, to search ruins of artifacts of the old world, and to let no dishonor or disaster come to the tribe. He did not see how the tribe could do that with so few of the warriors with an Iron God to fight with. The ones chosen to fight with an Iron God chosen between the Iron Priests and World Priests. Aldernaks time came though, as during a search for more ruins he found an Iron God laying beneath the sands. He was able to free the Iron God and pilot it to his tribe. After being blessed with the holy tattoos by a World Priest to mark him a Pilot and the Iron God repaired and made ready by the Iron Priest he set off upon his mission. To unite the Pilots of the tribes, to find more Iron Gods for the tribes, and unite the Yellow Sea under the banner of the Triarii people.

The main strength of the mech is not in it's direct combat capabilities. The mech was designed with cloaking capabilities and rapid response controls. As well the sensors of the desert priest have been boosted and it's radar shielding increased, making it a hard hunter to find. The specialty of the Desert Priest lies in electronic warfare though. Under the right circumstances the Desert Priest can shut down an enemy mech, leaving it open to attack, or hijacking.

When he was young, he would stay in the woods for days on end, living in the trees and caves of the more heavily wooded areas. His life was one of comfort, if not one of ease, for the forest always yielded plenty to those who worked hard enough to deserve it. It was on one of these outings that he found Avalon. Lost in a deep glen behind a cold waterfall, it sat for hundreds of years before a child of the forest discovered it. Now, a some years later, Gwydion is a man grown, and a skilled pilot, sworn to serve and defend the people of his nation. However, he is dissatisfied with the rule of the Council, and he thinks that the people don't have all that which they deserve.

>Name: Gavinrad Picket
>Faction: The Reach
>Fluff: Originally a miner by trade, Gavinrad lived a meanger existance using an pick axe along with his fellows, both to mine for precious ores to fuel the Fortress of Arrogance's growth, as well as to clear away the stone and ice that would impede its path in times of mobility. Along with thousands of others, Picket lived in the lower quarters of the machine as part of a long line of underclass workers destined to function as manual labor in the hierarchy of the reach, hoping to please their master enough to earn the lowly rations which sustained their continued livelyhood.
Thirty years into the job, and Picket would have most likely more than that; one of the countless miners to toil until they could finally work no more or lost themselves to the wilds, if not for his prospecting career one day unearthing a machine that would change his life. An ancient engine, from a time period even earlier than the mechs which dictate the flow of the world, the plucky miner spent his time in secret to repair it to the point of functionality. Partially succeeding in a bid to impress his liege enough for a change in job, the tyrant was convinced that his obsolete toy was of no use practical to his military, and rather then confiscating (as the usual practice for useful machines found by labourers) it decided to grant the prospector the mission of scouting the outter lands in his dinky contraption, with relatively little oversight provided he supplied himself.
Aged yet not too old for the job yet (a descriptor for perhaps both his machine and the prospector himself), Picket operates the Ironclad Steamer, having specially trained himself to rapidly switch between manning its rotating turret and driving its threaded means of locomotion. He still carries his old outfit and tools of trade in case they're needed, included a pick-axe, shovel, and various tools, strapped to the sides of the machine.

Mecha: Engine:
>Name: The Ironclad Steamer
>Fluff: The Ironclad Steamer is a vary ancient class of combat vehicle known as an engine, predating the more sophisticated mecha which would appear in later eras, and subsequently rather crude and austere in comparison. Largely reconstructed by Picket, its form consists of a large rectangular chassis with a piked glacis plate supported by a cow-catcher-like ram for close combat, mounted on it a single turret housing a large cannon as well as a smaller secondary cupola mounted on that turret containing two small calibre, yet rapid-fire weapons. The steamer is unique in that rather than conventional means of locomotion, it uses a set of tracks which are pushed by internal wheels and sprockets in order to give it a low ground pressure and great traction on even terrain; in fact, the archaic machine is capable of reaching extreme top speeds when charging on flat ground, in spite of its cumbersome appearance. Its low profile allows it to use cover in ways most true mecha would find difficult, allowing it to hide itself in the bushes and snipe technically superior targets from many meters away.
Of course, while its simplicity is in many ways a blessing in that it allows the Steamer to be relatively easily repaired if it sustains damage in battle, it also leads to various other issues which hinder its performance. For instance, the Steamer was clearly meant to be crewed by multiple people, as evident from the far spacing of the driver's seat and the battle station within the turret, and though it is possible to remotely operate the turret from the driver's seat, the gun's optics become useless in this position and it greatly hinders the weapon's accuracy; its pilot would in these situations have to chose between manning the turret for maximum capabilities of the cannon, or manning the driver for a swift means of movement.
Furthermore, the Steamer's uncommon construction means that most weapons need to be specifically modified in order to be accepted into its turret and autoloader system, something which its owner has limited knowledge in doing.
Finally, there is no ejection seat or other such comforts of safety: if the machine is destroyed, you best get out of an exit hatch before it lights up, which if it has large amounts of ammo remaining, it will.

Pilot:
Name: Captain Thaddius Calrith
Faction:The Ugorian Freehold
Fluff: Thaddius Calrith was found as a babe washed up on the shores of the Ugorian freehold after a violent storm that can only be assumed to have taken his birth parents lives. Taken in by a poor potters family he was raised on the hard streets of the Ugorian Capital. He ran with a small gang of pickpockets and vagabonds to supplement the meagre lifestyle of a potter. All while he grew up his eyes never left the sea as he felt the urge many Ugorians feel thrum through him the ocean called to him. When he came of age he signed unto the Ugorian navy finally sailing the world and completing the dream. All was not perfect in his new life as his common birth made any advancement had to be earned thrice over or simply not awarded at all. After many years he made captain, commanding a small scooner called "The Black Swallow". His command did not last long as on one of his first engagements he ran into the ferocious raiders of Preforia. Cutting his ship to shreds he was stranded with but a few of his men on a tiny rowboat. As fate often decrees when lost at sea only one grisly action could be taken to survive; Cannibalism. The last of his men had sacrificed themselves to keep Thaddius alive as he still drifted with no end in sight. He cursed the gods, he cursed himself and he even cursed the very sea which born him on its back. Longer he drifted till a great shape came bursting out of the water, consuming him down its black gullet. He came to not long after thinking himself in heaven or hell, but he had no been so lucky, instead he had been picked up by a sea going mech on autopilot, it had been assigned to gather survivors years ago and had continued on this eternal quest to save sailors from a long forgotten war. With this Mech at his disposal he vowed to avenge his crew and truly master the seas for Ugoria.

Having discovered what would be become his base of operations in the years to come Commander Bob, or Commander for short, received his destiny. A prophecy cast on a silver screen depicts the past; what would happen in the Old World populated by machine gods and the destruction to come, revealing the ancient wisdom and purpose of these tools and instructions buried here long ago.

>Name: Jacob Whitmeyer
>Faction (If belonging to one): Karn
>Fluff: Jacob is a simple man with simple pleasures. Primary among these pleasures is turning fields of infantry and artillery into slag heaps with concentrated volleys of cannon fire. Sure, most people join the Karn military to fight for their country and spread the cause of democracy, but in honesty, Jacob just leaped at the opportunity to kill people for money. In less warlike times, he might have been a hitman or mob enforcer. But with the seemingly endless conflicts between expanding nations, Jacob turns his sociopathic interests to the benefit of his nation.
Whitmeyer was always good at following orders and doing what he was told, for he never sought authority. In fact, the less people he had to deal with on a daily basis, the better. No wonder then that he signed up for scouting duty on the edge of Karn's territory. He found his love of mechas early on, after dropping out of architectural studies to join the military. Admiring the beauty of their design and the efficiency with which they killed mass numbers of soldiers, Jacob knew he would not be satisfied until he had one of his own. And now, he does! Woe be to any poor sap who lies in the crosshairs of Whitmeyer's destructive urges.

>Name: Seinen-Grant MilTech Model 1081, "Warhound"
>Fluff : Produced by the Seinen-Grant MilTech company as an alternative to its older model 1080 "Tracker" mech, the Warhound is a state-of-the-art quadrupedal war mech, featuring a large, front-mounted primary cannon with a 180 degree swivel and adjustable angle, as well as two smaller top-mounted cannons to provide closer covering fire. Its most iconic feature are the four animal-like legs it uses to propel itself and the "ears" on its side, earning it its name. The Warhound was intended primarily for service in rough and otherwise unnavigable terrain that most mechs and land vehicles can't get through easily, acting as a vanguard weapon and patrol in such difficult terrain, often accompanied by a small force of infantry. Most have been replaced by the sturdier 1083 Mastiff quad-mechs, but Jacob sticks to his trusty old Warhound.

Karn, the bastion of freedom in this new, harsh and cruel world. You are sworn to defend it, but honestly, if they’d put their arms away and became pacifist, you’d be quick to join the hordes of barbarians that harry their borders.

You and your infantry detachment are the closest to the distress signal. What will you do?

He lived there with his parents and grandparents, his grandparents dying when he was young, learning how to live in the wild and raid lands across the mountains and sea for valuable resources that they wouldn't normally be able to get. This is important as their assault rifles and mecha require more than just food.

>Name: Lavian Darsak
>Faction (If belonging to one): The Hidden Valley
>Fluff [How's your pilot different from everyone else?]: Lavian Darsak is a member of the forgotten race, different from the human's who destroyed the world but somehow closely related. As a member of the tribe he trained with swords and guns, the tribal rituals of old merely changing to become suitable to these new advances in technology. Like any valley-goer male he wishes to become stronger so as to attract the females of his race, and he has dedicated himself so much to this cause that he is his tribes equivalent of a perfectionist.
After years of training with gun and blade though he has found he lacks perfection in the most important part of this world, mecha combat. Alas he lacked a mecha, and for a time he felt that he would never be perfect or recieve mates. One day though while traveling the outskirts of the land he found a Dormant mecha! Eagerly climbing up to the cockpit he found a woman bleeding out in the seat. He attempted to heal her yet she held him at gunpoint, proclaiming that no woman of the Heaven's touch would dare let a man touch them.
This aggresive attitude from a female was quite new to Lavian, but it made him wonder. There is a whole group of unpacified women out in the world, waiting for a man to rule them?! This excited him almost more than the mecha, and he decided to leave the woman to die before returning for the mech. He took it back, had it repainted and edited, and soon took off with the mech to bring glory to the valley, to become perfect at mecha usage, and to subjugate the females of the Heaven's touch.
Mecha:
>Name: Transcendent Seer
>Fluff [How's your mecha different from every other one?]: Transcendent mind has two parts. The first part is the main suit, a bipedal and humanoid shaped weapon that comes equipped with a heavy shield on its back and a number of melee weapons for combat. This part is somewhat fragile, hence the heavy shield.
The second part is a four legged piece built for endurance and versatility. It can scale walls, absorb impacts with its heavy armor, fire its multiple inbuilt heavy repeaters, gouge steel with its claws, and if need be serve as another mecha entirely. This should only be activated in an emergency though.
Together the two pieces make a balanced mecha. Its not too lightly armored but not so heavily armored as to be slow or cumbersome. It can fight in melee combat and hold its own at range. When not together it can either be an offensive melee unit or a defensive support unit depending on which pieces are in use.

The heavy component of the suit was damaged in whatever resulted in the mechas entrance into dormancy state, and as such needs to be repaired. However, the suit was made in the reach, and to get the parts you’ll need, you’ll have to go there. Until then, you can use the light part

>Name: Atsuko Cheng
>Faction: Heaven's Touch
>Fluff: Atsuko Chenge is the child of an unlikely relationship, her mother a Valkyrie who fell in love with a man of the The Fire Lords. Alas, there are no men Heaven's Touch, and so to marry this man her mother had to leave the company of her sisters. In time, and with heavy hearts, they had to leave her at the doorstep of Heaven's Touch, that she might train herself to become a woman and a warrior as her own mother did. As a young child, her spirit bore the fiery passion of of her father while her soul was instilled with the faith of her mother, and her body bears the union of both. It was this passion and dedication that ultimately set her on the path to become a very specific type of Valkyrie pilot.
For it was not of any flying suit, nor even of the God's Gun, that she was besmitten with a desire to wield. But it was upon a mass that she heard the music coming forth from the the shining pipes of "St. Katyusha", that her heart was fueled with a fire to become the one that sang the war tunes of the mecha. And so she begged her teachers to let her study the lessons both musical and real, practiced and trained day in and day out until making music of the keyboard was natural to her, and nearly lived and slept within the confines of the machine she dreamt of piloting, where she would live in.
And now that day has finally arrived, and a new Valkyrie pilot is raised into the world. Not of any flighty or speedy craft, but of the zealous and righteous might and voice that is St. Katyusha!
>Inventory [Decided by Fluff]:
>Skills [Decided by Fluff]:
>Flaws [Decided by Fluff]:
Mecha:
>Name: St. Katyusha
>Fluff: Though not nearly as famous nor as loud as the God's Gun, St. Katyusha is the lesser known but formidable artillery suit, which sits next to the center piece of Heaven's Touch. Not of a giant and mighty cannon, but of something else entirely. Upon the back of this massive arachnoid mobile suit stands tall and proud a 61 gleaming pipes arranged as though a cathedral organ. For each pipe is actually a missile launcher, and the firing mechanism of each linked to a keyboard within the cockpit of the suit. Each press of a single note launches micromissiles and rockets shaped and built in such a way as they travel through the air they scream a specific tune. So it is that the firing of the suit is done in such a way that they bring forth a symphony of destruction, bringing praise to our God.
The pilot must be trained not only in the science of piloting such a machine but also the art of musical praise, for the St. Katyusha is as much a weapon of morale as it is of destruction. Valkyries are more willing to charge a foe after they have been showered with the music of St. Katyusha, while enemies hear the approaching hymn and tremble with fear before the scions of our God.
This is the primary and for now, only armament. Whatever part of the suit that does not contain the cockpit and is not responsible for motion is dedicated to the artillery superweapon. Targeting and communication systems, ammunition synthesis devices and ammunition storage, and the reloading mechanism all made to ensure if the pilot so wished they could play a symphony for many hours before even needing to reload.
Although it is different from the normal Valkyrie suit, a huge, bulking, and slow machine that can barely lumber across the landscape and ambulate difficult terrain thanks to its many legs it is nonetheless a revered one and an honor to pilot much like the God's Touch. It's primary strategy is to stay well behind the front lines, and provide medium to long range support of allies from afar.

1. If something is coming, I want to know what it is. Although my mech is no scout, I'm adept at moving about the woods quickly. The same principles that apply to running through the woods should still apply when scouting in a mech. Alternatively, I could pilot my mech to a secluded spot and manually scout out an area for a few miles around it. I'd cover more ground by staying in my mech, but I might miss something. On the other hand, if I "dragooned" it, I would cover less ground, but be more thorough. I'll start by scouting along our border with the Fire Lords. I'll use whichever of my tactics would be more convenient for the situation. (+5 Forest)

Pilot Name: Moira Ellison {Pastebin: http://pastebin.com/eBfbZvB1}

Description: Moira's story is a story of boredom. After being raised on a quiet farm, she found that she had a taste for the finer things in life not easily afforded by modest people of the soil. Those things? Better beds. Better food. Better company. Better entertainment. The barrier to those things? Money. And so Moira's quest began: she started out as a personal bodyguard, but eventually she developed her reputation as a cool professional who works only so long as the bills are paid. This is exemplified in her primary piece of equipment: that ugly machine was the result of an unpaid bill of a prior employer seized at gunpoint when payment was less than forthcoming. The way she sees it, he broke the rules of the sacred pact that all money is supposed to bring: the rule of contract. It is that rule that she obeys, but on her own time she is a careless spender blows most of her money gambling or otherwise amusing herself on whatever check she has pulled in from the prior mission; her notoriety for self-destructive partying is profound in proportional to her skill as a pilot. Generally Moira values money, good friends, firm commitments, and the pleasures of life wherever they can be found. Contra those values, Moira hates to be bored, hates farms, and hates people who are from “the soil”.

Icarus is a firm believer that these strange rediscovered mecha can bring only death and misery to the world at large. Some people think similarly - but they keep their mouths shut around the emerging superpowers of the world, and lack the same gift Icarus has.

This would make him a formidable pilot… if he didn't hate the machines with a burning passion.
Every mech he finds he attempts to destroy, using his unique talents to disable them and strip them of all useful components, using them to fashion his own weapons and tools, paying special attention to the jet-pack he refers to lovingly as his "wings".

1. The wild hills and forests here are fairly inhospitable to the biggest and least agile of mechs - I should be able to avoid any fight I don't think I can win, and search for ancient technology or recent salvage unmolested.
I suppose I should keep half an eye out for wandering mecha-cultists, though. Those lunatics aren't likely to range this far, but explorers might come across me when I stop to camp somewhere - and if I can't find salvage, meeting up with other people fleeing their madness might need protection. Either way, it pays to be alert while near the territory of people who put their faith in crazy gods and even crazier machines.
2. I've been working on a grip to keep mechs from throwing me off while I take them to pieces. These magnets seem to have the dual benefit of attaching to the metal of their plating and screwing with the circuits underneath. I wonder what I can do with that.

>Fluff [How's your pilot different from everyone else?]: Alexander was anointed as a Pilot at an incredibly early age, after finding the Sun Spider stored within a capsule half buried in the shifting sands. Running off from his tribe, the young boy removed the covering from the small mech. Receiving his marks at only fourteen, he has had over a decade to master it's use, in both combat and scavenging.
>Inventory: [Tribal Spear] – Your last testament of your old life, it still has a lock of your mothers hair around the base of the tip
>Skills: [Piloting Proficiency] – You’ve been in your mecha for over a decade, and in that time you’ve learned it inside and out. + 5 to all repair, modification, and exploration rolls involving your mech.

Mecha:
>Name: Sun Spider
>Fluff [How's your mecha different from every other one?]: While most of the Iron Gods are massive machines of steel, the Sun Spider is unique in it's size. Only nine feet tall, the miniature mech is capable of amazing feats of agility. Each of it's four hands have specially designed pads on the fingers and palm, allowing it to climb up vertical and flawless surfaces. Limited to close range weaponry, the four arms house a pile bunker, a low caliber machinegun, and two sawblades.

+ [Bipedal] – Bonus based on environment
>Defects: [Itty Bitty] – You’ve got more of a suit of power armor then a proper mecha, and as a result, it doesn’t have comparable armor to other mech, and wounds to the suit are almost guaranteed to wound you.

Pilot:
>Name: Aldernak Icar'Triarii
>Faction: None
>Fluff: The Triarii people are a complex group. Nomadic merchants and raiders they search the yellow sea for relics of the old world, keeping some they find and trading the rest to others in exchange for food. If the ruin hunts have been terrible the Triarii will resort to raiding smaller settlements upon the edge of the fertile lands for food and supplies before disappearing into the yellow sea once again.
Aldernak despised this existence of his people, but there was little he could do. Aldernak was your average Triarii man in the Icar tribe, taught to fight and survive alone in the desert, to search ruins of artifacts of the old world, and to let no dishonor or disaster come to the tribe. He did not see how the tribe could do that with so few of the warriors with an Iron God to fight with. The ones chosen to fight with an Iron God chosen between the Iron Priests and World Priests. Aldernaks time came though, as during a search for more ruins he found an Iron God laying beneath the sands. He was able to free the Iron God and pilot it to his tribe. After being blessed with the holy tattoos by a World Priest to mark him a Pilot and the Iron God repaired and made ready by the Iron Priest he set off upon his mission. To unite the Pilots of the tribes, to find more Iron Gods for the tribes, and unite the Yellow Sea under the banner of the Triarii people.
>Inventory: [Writ of the Iron Gods] – Mecha Instruction manual
>Skills [Decided by Fluff]: [Desert Survival] – Your life amongst the sands has afforded you the skills to live in it, you happen upon things in the sand just when you need them, providing the gods are favorable (Good Rolls means you are much more likely to find shit when searching, permitting good rolls).
>Flaws [Decided by Fluff]: [Honor-Bound] – Once you commit to something, you cannot abandon it, your consciousness will not allow it, for you will not shame the Iron God that has allowed you to pilot it.
Mecha:
>Name: Sand Priest
>Fluff: The sand priest is quadrupedal and humanoid in shape. It has one main weapon in the form of a medium rapid fire cannon. With that as the only visible weapon many would assume the Sand Priest was a weak mech. They would be wrong of course.
The main strength of the mech is not in it's direct combat capabilities. The mech was designed with cloaking capabilities and rapid response controls. As well the sensors of the desert priest have been boosted and it's radar shielding increased, making it a hard hunter to find. The specialty of the Desert Priest lies in electronic warfare though. Under the right circumstances the Desert Priest can shut down an enemy mech, leaving it open to attack, or hijacking.

[Cloaking] – Makes your mecha invisible for 1d4 rounds, but increases heat counter by 1, cannot be used at the same time as cloaking.
[Quadrupedal] – Bonus in certain terrain
>Defects: [Inefficient Cooling] – Your system is not optimized for the conditions that the world around you is now in. Your cooling meter therefore rests at normal unless you are frigid conditions.
[Sand in yer pants] – There is still some sand in odd places in the mecha, and it can get knocked loose in combat, blurring your vision and chaffing you very badly.
>Fighting Style: Support/Assassin

Along with thousands of others, Picket lived in the lower quarters of the machine as part of a long line of underclass workers destined to function as manual labor in the hierarchy of the reach, hoping to please their master enough to earn the lowly rations which sustained their continued livelyhood.

Name: Commander Bob
Faction (If belonging to one): Independent; The COM
Fluff [How's your pilot different from everyone else?]: His body is proof of a constant struggle against forces well entrenched in their machines of destruction giving him the gravitas of a hardened leader of warriors. Having discovered what would be become his base of operations in the years to come Commander Bob, or Commander for short, received his destiny. A prophecy cast on a silver screen depicts the past; what would happen in the Old World populated by machine gods and the destruction to come, revealing the ancient wisdom and purpose of these tools and instructions buried here long ago. Weapons, bombs, supplies, tools, skeletal metal limbs, and soldiers sealed in tubes with yet more miraculous things from the lost era with one goal in mind; preserve humanity and eliminate the threats of the mechanical titans.
These things may dwindle but The COM provides, arcane designs of production facilities might be found and translated with help.
Bob can not do this alone but trust must be earned in the spilled oil of machine gods.
The power of a thousand men with High-Ex bombs will not be denied.
Inventory: [Blaster] – An arcane weapon from X-CUM headquarters, +5 to personal combat.
Skills: [For the COM] – You’ve been brainwashed into the*perfect* super soldier. +10 to all combat rolls.
Flaws: [Mentally Retarded] – Your protective suit wasn’t seal correctly, so a part of your brain degraded while the rest remained, thus making you mentally retarded, being able to communicate only in grunts and shouts. The radiation from COM headquarters is gone though.
+ [Secret Base] – This isn’t your base, you weren’t meant to find it. The people in charge of it are angry, and they are coming for you.
Health: 500/500
Name: X-1, The Key
Fluff [How's your mecha different from every other one?]: A highly mobile floating metal disk two meters in diameter with two circular impression on top where the pilot stands supported by gravity field and protected by an energy shield that prevent him from falling off or being damaged. The Key is designed to fit itself into the top of COM tanks, troop carriers, jets etc. once locked in the pilot can direct these vehicles with projected hard light controls. Durability, speed and the powerful defensive systems make up for the complete lack of weaponry on the X-1 when it has to function on its own and rely on whatever the pilot has on hand.
Heat Counter: [Chilly]
Weapons: None – gonad’s get rimmed
Upgrades: [Bullet Proof permeable casing] – An extremely hardy and bullet proof substance surrounds the top of the X-1, it stops most rounds from entering the flesh of the pilot, but has a limit of what it can stop. That limit being 400 points of damage.
[Floats] – No terrain penalty
Defects: [COM Only] – Your mecha only reacts with COM vehicles, and can only be fixed with COM parts.
Fighting Style: Support
Perhaps some radiation still lingers in the deep sections of the base or from some device, what radiation caused perhaps radiation can fix? Worst comes to worst I will have to subject others to similar treatment and make a force of mentally disabled super soldiers the likes of which this dark age has not seen in many years. Yet the time for battle approaches it seems so..
12 *Grunting Intensifies* Prepare combat traps for the people coming to get me, this base is far too valuable for them to just blow up so I must become the night. Get the front layout of the base memorized or the map in my hands, grenades in places that I can blast from a dozen fortified points through the halls and barracks of the base. If there is armor to fit my super soldier body then find some and get decked out in whatever I can get my hands on.

>Name: Jacob Whitmeyer
>Faction (If belonging to one): Karn
>Fluff: Jacob is a simple man with simple pleasures. Primary among these pleasures is turning fields of infantry and artillery into slag heaps with concentrated volleys of cannon fire. Sure, most people join the Karn military to fight for their country and spread the cause of democracy, but in honesty, Jacob just leaped at the opportunity to kill people for money. In less warlike times, he might have been a hitman or mob enforcer. But with the seemingly endless conflicts between expanding nations, Jacob turns his sociopathic interests to the benefit of his nation.
Whitmeyer was always good at following orders and doing what he was told, for he never sought authority. In fact, the less people he had to deal with on a daily basis, the better. No wonder then that he signed up for scouting duty on the edge of Karn's territory. He found his love of mechas early on, after dropping out of architectural studies to join the military. Admiring the beauty of their design and the efficiency with which they killed mass numbers of soldiers, Jacob knew he would not be satisfied until he had one of his own. And now, he does! Woe be to any poor sap who lies in the crosshairs of Whitmeyer's destructive urges.

Mecha:
>Name: Seinen-Grant MilTech Model 1081, "Warhound"
>Fluff : Produced by the Seinen-Grant MilTech company as an alternative to its older model 1080 "Tracker" mech, the Warhound is a state-of-the-art quadrupedal war mech, featuring a large, front-mounted primary cannon with a 180 degree swivel and adjustable angle, as well as two smaller top-mounted cannons to provide closer covering fire. Its most iconic feature are the four animal-like legs it uses to propel itself and the "ears" on its side, earning it its name. The Warhound was intended primarily for service in rough and otherwise unnavigable terrain that most mechs and land vehicles can't get through easily, acting as a vanguard weapon and patrol in such difficult terrain, often accompanied by a small force of infantry. Most have been replaced by the sturdier 1083 Mastiff quad-mechs, but Jacob sticks to his trusty old Warhound.

Upgrades: [Quadrupedal] – Bonus in certain terrain
+ [A Classic] – Your old girl is well known and liked by those in the military, both for its tried and true combat record and its reliability. This good reputation and the relative rarity of the beast nowadays affords you the luxury of free repairs and reloads at
Defects: [Hidden weakness] – There’s a reason the 1083 became the standard issue. Weak armor around the leg joints, a concession made to get the model out faster to deal with a particularly bad group of rebels at the time, means that your bird is easy to knock out if someone knows what they’re doing.

The fire Lord has spoken and the Takeda clan obeys.
1. Shingen takes the dynastia out for warm up runs and basic combat routines getting more and more comfortable with the mecha. By now it is more an extension of his own body than a weapon to be controlled but it always pays to practice more.
2. The coolant systems have been giving us issues for a few generations now. Repairs need to be conducted and parts found to upgrade it. Start the search for a better cooling system. Examine the other fire nations mecha as well it's possible someone already has a better style we can copy and build from scratch.

1. While Deep Blue was already a fearsome mecha Nemo would continue to improve upon its design, further spending time working on the propulsion mechanisms. They were important for both striking the enemy before he knew what was happening and retreating before they would be able to react. Improving upon this technology was essential.
2. It was time for Nemo to go on his first patrol after havin Deep Blue refitted. Utilizing the advantage of his long range scanners he would be sure to keep an eye out for potential enemies of the Freehold.

1/2. The people of the valley would very much like to remain unknown to the world at large, they saw what the full humans did to the world that came before, and would like nothing to do with them. But still you persist in your efforts to tell the world of them. As you set off to leave, you find that all before you are oddly quiet, your own mother dare not even make eye contact with you. You leave the valley without a word, and you set out on your long trek. As you leave the high mountains behind you, you suddenly feel the earth shake beneath your feet, the ground opens up beneath you as your mech falls into an all-encompassing blackness. You finally hit the ground several second later. A sinkhole? It's only a few seconds after that that you notice the rifling carved into the walls, then the loudest sound you've ever heard shakes all around you as you are shoot out of the massive cannon into orbit. You drift for what seems like hours before your mecha begins falling to earth, but not before you catch a glimpse of a large object in orbit, it seems to have flashing lights and other things. A god perhaps? The next few minutes of reentry are by far the most terrifying of your life, as warning signs flash all around your mech as the very hull threatens to either break up or melt around you, but it holds firm. You finally splash down into a lake, god knows where, but your external sensors says that the temperature is hot. Very hot. You also cannot hear. Bummer

The scene you find is very much not the case. Fire Lord Mechs and Cultist mechs, but none of them have any visible battle damage, it appears that their reactors were detonated remotely. You exit your mecha to inspect the scene, only to find a small data parcel in the hands of a dying fire lord pilot. He resists your grip at first, but soon expires as you take the data slate from him.

That night, you sleep in the roast of a giant bird, who has long abandoned its nest, with your exoskeleton beneath you in a harness. In the distance, you hear singing.

When you finally come to a rest, you find yourself in a large black cavern, warm and rumbling softly.

1/2. You stumble around the base, trying to mentally map out its layout, when you feel that you have a good grasp of the layout of the entrance, you set to work building your first grenade trap near the entrance to deter any unwanted visitors. All seems to be going well, you’ve managed to set up a simple rig of three plasma grenades armed with a simple trip wire, but as you rise up triumphantly from your task, you notice the detonator pins in your fingers. You manage to get a half-shamble away from the IED before it detonates, but the pain you feel as you rise from the adjacent wall is all too telling of the severity of the situation. Your right arm is a stump below the midpoint of the humerus is a raw stump, the cauterization from the plasma kept you from bleeding to death, but you’ve lost god knows how long passed out on the floor, but before you can get up to check if you are indeed all together, you pass out from the pain again.

It is heavily fortified, with several mechas and what appears to be tanks and armored cars, along with several rows of Quonset huts. Luckily for you, they appear to be sleeping, and sleeping off a heavy hangover. You give the signal for the attack while a solid volley into the mecha refueling station, causing the generator to go critical and waste the dormant mechas, along with most of the tanks and the huts. The few men that emerge from the fires are cut down by your supporting infantry.

1. You take the mech out for a spin, slicing up some troublesome boulders and serfs in your way, and just generally getting acclimated to the controls of the mecha. After several hours of practice, you retire to the hanger to allow your siblings to repair and retrofit your mecha.
Training: Basic mech piloting 2/5
2. As you bring the mecha into the hanger, you see your siblings bringing in some very advanced looking cooling block, much better than the shoddily repaired hunk of crap your ancestors have been using for generations. They install it into your mecha, and it appears to function perfectly! This is amazing, you can do some real damage now!

1. You pour over the technical data of your mech, looking for ways to improve its design and systems. You are panning under the dash when you see that certain things can be stripped out for additional speed, and thus you’re off planning ways to strip additional, unneeded pieces of the mecha to maximize speed without sacrificing too much of the armor.
Deep Blue
2. As you are drawing the plans up for the retrofit, your mind wanders to daydreams of cleansing degenerates and the filth from this world, and having the flag of the Ugorian Freehold fly over the soil of all of Praeteria. A radio transmission cuts the static in your mind, a group of Preforians have been spotted off the coast. With a jump and a shout, you’re away for your bout to slap up some louts. GO GET THEM YOU KRAUT!
You arrive to see another Ugorian Mecha, a fully aquatic model, it seems that its attempt to blast the preforains with its water cannons have it spinning in circles in the water, and the short band radio is full of Preforian laughter and phrases such as “Kos okht ile nafadak” and “Elif air ab tizak”. You see 5 of the Preforian mechs targeting a convoy of Commune Food barges.

Pilot Name: Moira Ellison {Pastebin: http://pastebin.com/eBfbZvB1}
——–
Description: Moira's story is a story of boredom. After being raised on a quiet farm, she found that she had a taste for the finer things in life not easily afforded by modest people of the soil. Those things? Better beds. Better food. Better company. Better entertainment. The barrier to those things? Money. And so Moira's quest began: she started out as a personal bodyguard, but eventually she developed her reputation as a cool professional who works only so long as the bills are paid. This is exemplified in her primary piece of equipment: that ugly machine was the result of an unpaid bill of a prior employer seized at gunpoint when payment was less than forthcoming. The way she sees it, he broke the rules of the sacred pact that all money is supposed to bring: the rule of contract. It is that rule that she obeys, but on her own time she is a careless spender blows most of her money gambling or otherwise amusing herself on whatever check she has pulled in from the prior mission; her notoriety for self-destructive partying is profound in proportional to her skill as a pilot. Generally Moira values money, good friends, firm commitments, and the pleasures of life wherever they can be found. Contra those values, Moira hates to be bored, hates farms, and hates people who are from “the soil”.
Inventory: [Bronze Potato] – Your last testament of the farm life, the first potato you harvested. It is both your most prized possession and your greatest shame.
Skills: [Hardass] – You’re very intimidating, especially for a tiny girl. It throws many off guard, and is very effective if used correctly. +5 To intimidation rolls.
Flaws: [Devotee to Decadence] – If you run across something particularly nice and shiny, you are drawn to it like a moth to light

Defects: [Ugly as sin] – Your mecha is downright ugly, it’s hideous, like someone puked in a bag of dog turds and then smeared it on a pile of elephant dung.

1.2. After extricating herself from the mud, Moira continues on her way Commune. However, just as she she finishes getting the mud off, Moira sees a falling satellite pass through the horizon. Instead of heading to the commune, Moira diverts to locate where the crash site of the satellite is. Sometimes she's good at locating ballistic trajectories, but sometimes not. A clatter of keystrokes to stumpmeister's computer gives her a rough location, and she diverts course to find it. [Find the wreckage]

1. As I leave the representative's office, I can't help but wonder what I should do with the data-slate. Should I inform the council of the events, and hand over the slate, or should I keep it to myself, and try to figure it out? I know what I'll do. I'll see if any of my friends have knowledge of computers and encryption. I need someone who I can trust to decrypt that slate. It could contain answers to that massacre, or information that I can use to further my own ends somehow. After that, I'll head out.

There he excelled at navigation and the self-sufficiency exercises a pilot needs to take a mecha and explore the vast amounts of land between nations. In fact he had done so well in these classes he had earned the call sign camel, because while not as aggressive or agile in a mech as some of his fellows, he never needed to stop.

Pilot:
>Name: Aldernak Icar'Triarii
>Faction: None
>Fluff: The Triarii people are a complex group. Nomadic merchants and raiders they search the yellow sea for relics of the old world, keeping some they find and trading the rest to others in exchange for food. If the ruin hunts have been terrible the Triarii will resort to raiding smaller settlements upon the edge of the fertile lands for food and supplies before disappearing into the yellow sea once again.
Aldernak despised this existence of his people, but there was little he could do. Aldernak was your average Triarii man in the Icar tribe, taught to fight and survive alone in the desert, to search ruins of artifacts of the old world, and to let no dishonor or disaster come to the tribe. He did not see how the tribe could do that with so few of the warriors with an Iron God to fight with. The ones chosen to fight with an Iron God chosen between the Iron Priests and World Priests. Aldernaks time came though, as during a search for more ruins he found an Iron God laying beneath the sands. He was able to free the Iron God and pilot it to his tribe. After being blessed with the holy tattoos by a World Priest to mark him a Pilot and the Iron God repaired and made ready by the Iron Priest he set off upon his mission. To unite the Pilots of the tribes, to find more Iron Gods for the tribes, and unite the Yellow Sea under the banner of the Triarii people.
>Inventory: [Writ of the Iron Gods] – Mecha Instruction manual
>Skills [Decided by Fluff]: [Desert Survival] – Your life amongst the sands has afforded you the skills to live in it, you happen upon things in the sand just when you need them, providing the gods are favorable (Good Rolls means you are much more likely to find shit when searching, permitting good rolls).
>Flaws [Decided by Fluff]: [Honor-Bound] – Once you commit to something, you cannot abandon it, your consciousness will not allow it, for you will not shame the Iron God that has allowed you to pilot it.
Mecha:
>Name: Sand Priest
>Fluff: The sand priest is quadrupedal and humanoid in shape. It has one main weapon in the form of a medium rapid fire cannon. With that as the only visible weapon many would assume the Sand Priest was a weak mech. They would be wrong of course.
The main strength of the mech is not in it's direct combat capabilities. The mech was designed with cloaking capabilities and rapid response controls. As well the sensors of the desert priest have been boosted and it's radar shielding increased, making it a hard hunter to find. The specialty of the Desert Priest lies in electronic warfare though. Under the right circumstances the Desert Priest can shut down an enemy mech, leaving it open to attack, or hijacking.

This would make him a formidable pilot… if he didn't hate the machines with a burning passion.

>Name: The Ironclad Steamer
>Fluff: The Ironclad Steamer is a vary ancient class of combat vehicle known as an engine, predating the more sophisticated mecha which would appear in later eras, and subsequently rather crude and austere in comparison. Largely reconstructed by Picket, its form consists of a large rectangular chassis with a piked glacis plate supported by a cow-catcher-like ram for close combat, mounted on it a single turret housing a large cannon as well as a smaller secondary cupola mounted on that turret containing two small calibre, yet rapid-fire weapons. The steamer is unique in that rather than conventional means of locomotion, it uses a set of tracks which are pushed by internal wheels and sprockets in order to give it a low ground pressure and great traction on even terrain; in fact, the archaic machine is capable of reaching extreme top speeds when charging on flat ground, in spite of its cumbersome appearance. Its low profile allows it to use cover in ways most true mecha would find difficult, allowing it to hide itself in the bushes and snipe technically superior targets from many meters away.

>Name: Atsuko Cheng
>Faction: Heaven's Touch
>Fluff: Atsuko Chenge is the child of an unlikely relationship, her mother a Valkyrie who fell in love with a man of the The Fire Lords. Alas, there are no men Heaven's Touch, and so to marry this man her mother had to leave the company of her sisters. In time, and with heavy hearts, they had to leave her at the doorstep of Heaven's Touch, that she might train herself to become a woman and a warrior as her own mother did. As a young child, her spirit bore the fiery passion of of her father while her soul was instilled with the faith of her mother, and her body bears the union of both. It was this passion and dedication that ultimately set her on the path to become a very specific type of Valkyrie pilot.
For it was not of any flying suit, nor even of the God's Gun, that she was besmitten with a desire to wield. But it was upon a mass that she heard the music coming forth from the the shining pipes of "St. Katyusha", that her heart was fueled with a fire to become the one that sang the war tunes of the mecha. And so she begged her teachers to let her study the lessons both musical and real, practiced and trained day in and day out until making music of the keyboard was natural to her, and nearly lived and slept within the confines of the machine she dreamt of piloting, where she would live in.
And now that day has finally arrived, and a new Valkyrie pilot is raised into the world. Not of any flighty or speedy craft, but of the zealous and righteous might and voice that is St. Katyusha!
>Inventory [Decided by Fluff]:
>Skills [Decided by Fluff]:
>Flaws [Decided by Fluff]:
Mecha:
>Name: St. Katyusha
>Fluff: Though not nearly as famous nor as loud as the God's Gun, St. Katyusha is the lesser known but formidable artillery suit, which sits next to the center piece of Heaven's Touch. Not of a giant and mighty cannon, but of something else entirely. Upon the back of this massive arachnoid mobile suit stands tall and proud a 61 gleaming pipes arranged as though a cathedral organ. For each pipe is actually a missile launcher, and the firing mechanism of each linked to a keyboard within the cockpit of the suit. Each press of a single note launches micromissiles and rockets shaped and built in such a way as they travel through the air they scream a specific tune. So it is that the firing of the suit is done in such a way that they bring forth a symphony of destruction, bringing praise to our God.
The pilot must be trained not only in the science of piloting such a machine but also the art of musical praise, for the St. Katyusha is as much a weapon of morale as it is of destruction. Valkyries are more willing to charge a foe after they have been showered with the music of St. Katyusha, while enemies hear the approaching hymn and tremble with fear before the scions of our God.
This is the primary and for now, only armament. Whatever part of the suit that does not contain the cockpit and is not responsible for motion is dedicated to the artillery superweapon. Targeting and communication systems, ammunition synthesis devices and ammunition storage, and the reloading mechanism all made to ensure if the pilot so wished they could play a symphony for many hours before even needing to reload.
Although it is different from the normal Valkyrie suit, a huge, bulking, and slow machine that can barely lumber across the landscape and ambulate difficult terrain thanks to its many legs it is nonetheless a revered one and an honor to pilot much like the God's Touch. It's primary strategy is to stay well behind the front lines, and provide medium to long range support of allies from afar.

1/2 - I really expected a better fight. Poor bastards didn't know what was coming for them. Right! Morales, Brennan, round up the survivors. I'd like to have a little chat with them.

>Name: Jacob Whitmeyer
>Faction (If belonging to one): Karn
>Fluff:
Jacob is a simple man with simple pleasures. Primary among these pleasures is turning fields of infantry and artillery into slag heaps with concentrated volleys of cannon fire. Sure, most people join the Karn military to fight for their country and spread the cause of democracy, but in honesty, Jacob just leaped at the opportunity to kill people for money. In less warlike times, he might have been a hitman or mob enforcer. But with the seemingly endless conflicts between expanding nations, Jacob turns his sociopathic interests to the benefit of his nation.
Whitmeyer was always good at following orders and doing what he was told, for he never sought authority. In fact, the less people he had to deal with on a daily basis, the better. No wonder then that he signed up for scouting duty on the edge of Karn's territory. He found his love of mechas early on, after dropping out of architectural studies to join the military. Admiring the beauty of their design and the efficiency with which they killed mass numbers of soldiers, Jacob knew he would not be satisfied until he had one of his own. And now, he does! Woe be to any poor sap who lies in the crosshairs of Whitmeyer's destructive urges.

Mecha:
>Name: Seinen-Grant MilTech Model 1081, "Warhound"
>Fluff : Produced by the Seinen-Grant MilTech company as an alternative to its older model 1080 "Tracker" mech, the Warhound is a state-of-the-art quadrupedal war mech, featuring a large, front-mounted primary cannon with a 180 degree swivel and adjustable angle, as well as two smaller top-mounted cannons to provide closer covering fire. Its most iconic feature are the four animal-like legs it uses to propel itself and the "ears" on its side, earning it its name. The Warhound was intended primarily for service in rough and otherwise unnavigable terrain that most mechs and land vehicles can't get through easily, acting as a vanguard weapon and patrol in such difficult terrain, often accompanied by a small force of infantry. Most have been replaced by the sturdier 1083 Mastiff quad-mechs, but Jacob sticks to his trusty old Warhound.
>Heat Counter: [Chilly]

>Name: Lavian Darsak
>Faction (If belonging to one): The Hidden Valley
>Fluff [How's your pilot different from everyone else?]: Lavian Darsak is a member of the forgotten race, different from the human's who destroyed the world but somehow closely related. As a member of the tribe he trained with swords and guns, the tribal rituals of old merely changing to become suitable to these new advances in technology. Like any valley-goer male he wishes to become stronger so as to attract the females of his race, and he has dedicated himself so much to this cause that he is his tribes equivalent of a perfectionist.
After years of training with gun and blade though he has found he lacks perfection in the most important part of this world, mecha combat. Alas he lacked a mecha, and for a time he felt that he would never be perfect or recieve mates. One day though while traveling the outskirts of the land he found a Dormant mecha! Eagerly climbing up to the cockpit he found a woman bleeding out in the seat. He attempted to heal her yet she held him at gunpoint, proclaiming that no woman of the Heaven's touch would dare let a man touch them.
This aggresive attitude from a female was quite new to Lavian, but it made him wonder. There is a whole group of unpacified women out in the world, waiting for a man to rule them?! This excited him almost more than the mecha, and he decided to leave the woman to die before returning for the mech. He took it back, had it repainted and edited, and soon took off with the mech to bring glory to the valley, to become perfect at mecha usage, and to subjugate the females of the Heaven's touch.
Mecha:
>Name: Transcendent Seer
>Fluff [How's your mecha different from every other one?]: Transcendent mind has two parts. The first part is the main suit, a bipedal and humanoid shaped weapon that comes equipped with a heavy shield on its back and a number of melee weapons for combat. This part is somewhat fragile, hence the heavy shield.
The second part is a four legged piece built for endurance and versatility. It can scale walls, absorb impacts with its heavy armor, fire its multiple inbuilt heavy repeaters, gouge steel with its claws, and if need be serve as another mecha entirely. This should only be activated in an emergency though.
Together the two pieces make a balanced mecha. Its not too lightly armored but not so heavily armored as to be slow or cumbersome. It can fight in melee combat and hold its own at range. When not together it can either be an offensive melee unit or a defensive support unit depending on which pieces are in use.
>Inventory: [Ceremonial Sword] – A hunk of shaped metal, crude, but holds much sentimental value to you.
>Skills: [Tribal Relations] – From your upbringing among the valley folks, you are well versed with communicating the tribals of this world, and receive a +10 to conversing with them.
>Flaws: [Simpleton] – Your upbringing has also ensured that any civilized person you talk to will realize how much of a barbarian you were and somewhat are. -10 to conversing with any of the civilized nations. Can be reduced with etiquette lessons
>Gets out the sue stick
The heavy component of the suit was damaged in whatever resulted in the mechas entrance into dormancy state, and as such needs to be repaired. However, the suit was made in the reach, and to get the parts you’ll need, you’ll have to go there. Until then, you can use the light part

1/2. You saunter off towards the crash site, eager to find something of value, perhaps some old war tech, perhaps an orbital weapon that fell to earth. You see the flames before you see the actual crater made by the crash, and then you see the commune Troops point their weapons at you before you see the crater as well. A buzz comes across your radio “HALT! If you take one more step further, we will not hesitate to fir upon you!”

1. You try to contact some friends in the capital, but all your messages and calls go unanswered. How strange, maybe they’re feeling ill?

1. You begin the trek back to Tarth, arriving at its gates, your radio cutting out long before that. The scene you arrive too is a peculiar one, as the city seems to be revamping its production and Troop producing capabilities.
2. Your scans are less then fruitful however, as the scanners seem to have stopped working entirely by the time you enter the city gates. What’s more, you can shake the feeling that you’re being watched….

1.You Begin heading to what you assume is the head of this thing, the part you are in wide enough to let three mechas of your size walk shoulder to shoulder comfortably. After a few hours of walking and an encounter with some sort of symbiotic guard creature, you arrive at what you assume is the head, a nearby duct to the outside drawing your eye. Before you can make a move to it, however, you are soon expelled out of that very same duct by a vicious white liquid. After crawling through a hundred feet of sand, you finally break through to the surface. Alive and well, but covered in worm semen. Gross

You meander through the front entrance, and are greeted by a single room with numerous metal poles that stretch to the ceiling. What was the purpose of this ancient building, you wonder.

After refitting the power supply that somehow came lose in the time between this unit’s activation and the end of the world, it rises and turns to face you. “Greetings, I am F1sT0, pleasure bot.” The robot brings its comically large runner fist up to its face. “Please assume the position.”

You head the other way, and travel for the better part of a day until you see the lights of the camp on the horizon. You manage to take up a position on a nearby sand dune and await nightfall to get the drop on the group below you, which seems to be composed of a mecha of similar size to your own and about 15 armed men.

The sisters soon follow, killing all who resist and shooting all the bodies just to make sure. As you watch from above the hill, you hear a tell-tale whistle. Your missiles have failed, the first and third volley come crashing down around you, the explosion shredding your armor and throwing you several hundred feet over the nearby dune. You awake with blood on your head and warning lights flashing all around you…

1/2. Your men set to getting the prisoners ready for interrogation, and they are, at first, uncooperative. The all refuse to talk no matter what you say to them. The first man cracks when you rip his comrade’s tongue out, the sight of the blood pouring down his face and the unearthly screams as you set upon him with a flensing knife enough to finally crack the other man. “RELENT INFIDEL, SPARE HIM THE SUFFERING OF YOUR HEATHEN WAYS AND I SHALL TELL YOU OF OUR ORIGINS!” You pull out all of fingernails just to be sure, his screams ensuring his honesty when you tell him you’ll flay him next if you think he’s lying. He tells you he is a follower of Zetsim, a cult of deviance that encourages child-rape, genital mutilation of women and mild cannibalism, and that they are a small part of a larger group roving through the area looking for “Fresh meat”.

>Name: Jacob Whitmeyer
>Faction (If belonging to one): Karn
>Fluff:
Jacob is a simple man with simple pleasures. Primary among these pleasures is turning fields of infantry and artillery into slag heaps with concentrated volleys of cannon fire. Sure, most people join the Karn military to fight for their country and spread the cause of democracy, but in honesty, Jacob just leaped at the opportunity to kill people for money. In less warlike times, he might have been a hitman or mob enforcer. But with the seemingly endless conflicts between expanding nations, Jacob turns his sociopathic interests to the benefit of his nation.
Whitmeyer was always good at following orders and doing what he was told, for he never sought authority. In fact, the less people he had to deal with on a daily basis, the better. No wonder then that he signed up for scouting duty on the edge of Karn's territory. He found his love of mechas early on, after dropping out of architectural studies to join the military. Admiring the beauty of their design and the efficiency with which they killed mass numbers of soldiers, Jacob knew he would not be satisfied until he had one of his own. And now, he does! Woe be to any poor sap who lies in the crosshairs of Whitmeyer's destructive urges.

Mecha:
>Name: Seinen-Grant MilTech Model 1081, "Warhound"
>Fluff : Produced by the Seinen-Grant MilTech company as an alternative to its older model 1080 "Tracker" mech, the Warhound is a state-of-the-art quadrupedal war mech, featuring a large, front-mounted primary cannon with a 180 degree swivel and adjustable angle, as well as two smaller top-mounted cannons to provide closer covering fire. Its most iconic feature are the four animal-like legs it uses to propel itself and the "ears" on its side, earning it its name. The Warhound was intended primarily for service in rough and otherwise unnavigable terrain that most mechs and land vehicles can't get through easily, acting as a vanguard weapon and patrol in such difficult terrain, often accompanied by a small force of infantry. Most have been replaced by the sturdier 1083 Mastiff quad-mechs, but Jacob sticks to his trusty old Warhound.

Defects: [Hidden weakness] – There’s a reason the 1083 became the standard issue. Weak armor around the leg joints, a concession made to get the model out faster to deal with a particularly bad group of rebels at the time, means that your bird is easy to knock out if someone knows what they’re doing.

>Name: Lavian Darsak
>Faction (If belonging to one): The Hidden Valley
>Fluff [How's your pilot different from everyone else?]: Lavian Darsak is a member of the forgotten race, different from the human's who destroyed the world but somehow closely related. As a member of the tribe he trained with swords and guns, the tribal rituals of old merely changing to become suitable to these new advances in technology. Like any valley-goer male he wishes to become stronger so as to attract the females of his race, and he has dedicated himself so much to this cause that he is his tribes equivalent of a perfectionist.
After years of training with gun and blade though he has found he lacks perfection in the most important part of this world, mecha combat. Alas he lacked a mecha, and for a time he felt that he would never be perfect or recieve mates. One day though while traveling the outskirts of the land he found a Dormant mecha! Eagerly climbing up to the cockpit he found a woman bleeding out in the seat. He attempted to heal her yet she held him at gunpoint, proclaiming that no woman of the Heaven's touch would dare let a man touch them.
This aggresive attitude from a female was quite new to Lavian, but it made him wonder. There is a whole group of unpacified women out in the world, waiting for a man to rule them?! This excited him almost more than the mecha, and he decided to leave the woman to die before returning for the mech. He took it back, had it repainted and edited, and soon took off with the mech to bring glory to the valley, to become perfect at mecha usage, and to subjugate the females of the Heaven's touch.
Mecha:
>Name: Transcendent Seer
>Fluff [How's your mecha different from every other one?]: Transcendent mind has two parts. The first part is the main suit, a bipedal and humanoid shaped weapon that comes equipped with a heavy shield on its back and a number of melee weapons for combat. This part is somewhat fragile, hence the heavy shield.
The second part is a four legged piece built for endurance and versatility. It can scale walls, absorb impacts with its heavy armor, fire its multiple inbuilt heavy repeaters, gouge steel with its claws, and if need be serve as another mecha entirely. This should only be activated in an emergency though.
Together the two pieces make a balanced mecha. Its not too lightly armored but not so heavily armored as to be slow or cumbersome. It can fight in melee combat and hold its own at range. When not together it can either be an offensive melee unit or a defensive support unit depending on which pieces are in use.
>Inventory: [Ceremonial Sword] – A hunk of shaped metal, crude, but holds much sentimental value to you.
>Skills: [Tribal Relations] – From your upbringing among the valley folks, you are well versed with communicating the tribals of this world, and receive a +10 to conversing with them.
>Flaws: [Simpleton] – Your upbringing has also ensured that any civilized person you talk to will realize how much of a barbarian you were and somewhat are. -10 to conversing with any of the civilized nations. Can be reduced with etiquette lessons
>Gets out the sue stick
The heavy component of the suit was damaged in whatever resulted in the mechas entrance into dormancy state, and as such needs to be repaired. However, the suit was made in the reach, and to get the parts you’ll need, you’ll have to go there. Until then, you can use the light part

Pilot:
>Name: Aldernak Icar'Triarii
>Faction: None
>Fluff: The Triarii people are a complex group. Nomadic merchants and raiders they search the yellow sea for relics of the old world, keeping some they find and trading the rest to others in exchange for food. If the ruin hunts have been terrible the Triarii will resort to raiding smaller settlements upon the edge of the fertile lands for food and supplies before disappearing into the yellow sea once again.
Aldernak despised this existence of his people, but there was little he could do. Aldernak was your average Triarii man in the Icar tribe, taught to fight and survive alone in the desert, to search ruins of artifacts of the old world, and to let no dishonor or disaster come to the tribe. He did not see how the tribe could do that with so few of the warriors with an Iron God to fight with. The ones chosen to fight with an Iron God chosen between the Iron Priests and World Priests. Aldernaks time came though, as during a search for more ruins he found an Iron God laying beneath the sands. He was able to free the Iron God and pilot it to his tribe. After being blessed with the holy tattoos by a World Priest to mark him a Pilot and the Iron God repaired and made ready by the Iron Priest he set off upon his mission. To unite the Pilots of the tribes, to find more Iron Gods for the tribes, and unite the Yellow Sea under the banner of the Triarii people.
>Inventory: [Writ of the Iron Gods] – Mecha Instruction manual
>Skills [Decided by Fluff]: [Desert Survival] – Your life amongst the sands has afforded you the skills to live in it, you happen upon things in the sand just when you need them, providing the gods are favorable (Good Rolls means you are much more likely to find shit when searching, permitting good rolls).
>Flaws [Decided by Fluff]: [Honor-Bound] – Once you commit to something, you cannot abandon it, your consciousness will not allow it, for you will not shame the Iron God that has allowed you to pilot it.
Mecha:
>Name: Sand Priest
>Fluff: The sand priest is quadrupedal and humanoid in shape. It has one main weapon in the form of a medium rapid fire cannon. With that as the only visible weapon many would assume the Sand Priest was a weak mech. They would be wrong of course.
The main strength of the mech is not in it's direct combat capabilities. The mech was designed with cloaking capabilities and rapid response controls. As well the sensors of the desert priest have been boosted and it's radar shielding increased, making it a hard hunter to find. The specialty of the Desert Priest lies in electronic warfare though. Under the right circumstances the Desert Priest can shut down an enemy mech, leaving it open to attack, or hijacking.

[Quadrupedal] – Bonus in certain terrain
>Defects: [Inefficient Cooling] – Your system is not optimized for the conditions that the world around you is now in. Your cooling meter therefore rests at normal unless you are frigid conditions.
[Sand in yer pants] – There is still some sand in odd places in the mecha, and it can get knocked loose in combat, blurring your vision and chaffing you very badly.
[Worm Hormones] – The “goop” on your mech attracts giant worms, you best wash it off.
>Fighting Style: Support/Assassin
1. IRON GODS DAMNIT! It is just one thing after another. Thankfully the Iron Priests gave me a sand cleaning kit to use to maintain the iron god, and I have plenty of sand coming into the cockpit. Best get to cleaning.
2. Once that is done back to searching the desert for something that ISN'T a giant worm.

Pilot Name: Moira Ellison {Pastebin: http://pastebin.com/eBfbZvB1}
——–
Description: Moira's story is a story of boredom. After being raised on a quiet farm, she found that she had a taste for the finer things in life not easily afforded by modest people of the soil. Those things? Better beds. Better food. Better company. Better entertainment. The barrier to those things? Money. And so Moira's quest began: she started out as a personal bodyguard, but eventually she developed her reputation as a cool professional who works only so long as the bills are paid. This is exemplified in her primary piece of equipment: that ugly machine was the result of an unpaid bill of a prior employer seized at gunpoint when payment was less than forthcoming. The way she sees it, he broke the rules of the sacred pact that all money is supposed to bring: the rule of contract. It is that rule that she obeys, but on her own time she is a careless spender blows most of her money gambling or otherwise amusing herself on whatever check she has pulled in from the prior mission; her notoriety for self-destructive partying is profound in proportional to her skill as a pilot. Generally Moira values money, good friends, firm commitments, and the pleasures of life wherever they can be found. Contra those values, Moira hates to be bored, hates farms, and hates people who are from “the soil”.
Inventory: [Bronze Potato] – Your last testament of the farm life, the first potato you harvested. It is both your most prized possession and your greatest shame.

1. Moira opens up the communications channel to intimidate the soldiers at the site. "Listen kid, it's not worth your life. Just walk. Or, I can send you home in pieces at the front end of an explosion. It's your call. It's been awhile since I killed anyone in cold blood, but it won't be the last time. I know you have family kid, everyone does. A bit of space junk isn't worth it. Trust me." [Intimidate].
2. Cynically, Moira cocks her SMG and spins up her shoulder-mounted machine gun. They aren't going to move, probably, so they're just going to need to die. She never understood why people stumble around for no money for people who don't give a shit about them. It always struck her as slightly naïve and more than a little childish. [Prepare to attack if they don't back off; use the time talking to position better].

>Name: The Ironclad Steamer
>Fluff: The Ironclad Steamer is a vary ancient class of combat vehicle known as an engine, predating the more sophisticated mecha which would appear in later eras, and subsequently rather crude and austere in comparison. Largely reconstructed by Picket, its form consists of a large rectangular chassis with a piked glacis plate supported by a cow-catcher-like ram for close combat, mounted on it a single turret housing a large cannon as well as a smaller secondary cupola mounted on that turret containing two small calibre, yet rapid-fire weapons. The steamer is unique in that rather than conventional means of locomotion, it uses a set of tracks which are pushed by internal wheels and sprockets in order to give it a low ground pressure and great traction on even terrain; in fact, the archaic machine is capable of reaching extreme top speeds when charging on flat ground, in spite of its cumbersome appearance. Its low profile allows it to use cover in ways most true mecha would find difficult, allowing it to hide itself in the bushes and snipe technically superior targets from many meters away.

The prospector was eyeing the once more living robot in awe; though he came across many fragments of lost technology in his time, never before has he found something as complex, and as intact as this. "Well I'll be, an old metal man from yore! Now, I'm sure you have mighty plenty stories to tell; first things first though, you any good with with a gun and a sight? Since I'ma tanker, and my ole' steamer here could use another set of hands."

1/2. You set out with the patrol, intent on finding these fuckers before they can kill any more people that you are meant to kill dammit! Eventually your men pick up a trail several leagues away from a nearby rocky outcropping, and they follow it for a few hours with you keeping an over watch from a nearby ridgeline. It’s only a few minutes later that the normally calm radio channel is filled with the screams of your men. You bolt like a speeding bullet towards the position of your column, arriving to a grisly scene. You’ve found the camp of the cultist, and your men. You also found a horde of marauding killbots from the old war, decorated in the gore of your men and the cultist. You’ve only a moment before the outside of your mech is riddled with laser shot.

1/2. You arrive at the coastline, your mech plodding slowly onto the sandy shore. To your surprise, this appears to be a mech graveyard. From what you can tell, an amphibious assault was attempted here during the old war, and it appears that the wrecks haven’t been picked over.
>>25863
1. You attempt to flush the goop from your mecha, but accidentally open an air vent instead. The goop flows down into the cockpit and into your mouth. It’s very salty and thick, but oddly refreshing.
2. You scour the recently uncovered ruins over the hills, an old moisture farm. You find two smaller maintenance meshes with automation routines, a lucky find! You program then to home in on a transponder that your camp gives off to help guide lost scavengers home and then you’re off.
>>25864
1/2. You find a quiet alcove to rest in and shut your mech off to remain quiet, you take a quick nap and awake in the dead of night, the lights in the camp, or rather, the absence there of indicative of the time. With a silent leap you bolt into the sky, and right into the center of the camp, setting off several oddly placed explosive barrels that set the bandits tents alight. They run out of the flaming canvas, many of them on fire as well. You quickly set to work killing the others with your blade. After 5 minutes, it is done. Around you lie 25 dead men, and your mech is red with their blood. You scalp the men as proof of their deaths and set off to return to the merchants you took the contract from.
>>25866
1/2. You pull the emergency cord and eject from your mecha just as fire enters the cockpit, your siblings rushing in and quickly extinguishing the flame, one of them succumbing to the fire in the process. A cursory investigation to the cause of the fire later blames the cooling system, which was rigged to overheat upon activation of the combat systems of the mech. The sibling responsible was also the one that died in the fire. A clean end to a dirty problem, except you have no cooling system now for your mecha, which is a problem.

Thrown off by your bold statement, the mech lowers its weapons, the pilot’s voice coming through to your vox. “We-well Ma’am, this is commune territory, so you can have a look, but any attempts to procure the item will result in summary apprehension and execution after a trial in the Ccommune’s courts.” He moves to let you pass.
2. Having been allowed to pass, you approach the crashed satellite, it looks nothing like what you’ve seen before on this world, sleek and shiny even after crashing into the earth hard enough to make the sizable crater your mech now stands in. It gleams softly in the fading sunlight.

1. The patrol goes without incident aside from having to help a Ag-Mech turn over its spilled grain bale. You’re rather bored really, the forest lies quiet around you.

There he excelled at navigation and the self-sufficiency exercises a pilot needs to take a mecha and explore the vast amounts of land between nations. In fact he had done so well in these classes he had earned the call sign camel, because while not as aggressive or agile in a mech as some of his fellows, he never needed to stop.

Pilot Name: Moira Ellison {Pastebin: http://pastebin.com/eBfbZvB1}
——–
Description: Moira's story is a story of boredom. After being raised on a quiet farm, she found that she had a taste for the finer things in life not easily afforded by modest people of the soil. Those things? Better beds. Better food. Better company. Better entertainment. The barrier to those things? Money. And so Moira's quest began: she started out as a personal bodyguard, but eventually she developed her reputation as a cool professional who works only so long as the bills are paid. This is exemplified in her primary piece of equipment: that ugly machine was the result of an unpaid bill of a prior employer seized at gunpoint when payment was less than forthcoming. The way she sees it, he broke the rules of the sacred pact that all money is supposed to bring: the rule of contract. It is that rule that she obeys, but on her own time she is a careless spender blows most of her money gambling or otherwise amusing herself on whatever check she has pulled in from the prior mission; her notoriety for self-destructive partying is profound in proportional to her skill as a pilot. Generally Moira values money, good friends, firm commitments, and the pleasures of life wherever they can be found. Contra those values, Moira hates to be bored, hates farms, and hates people who are from “the soil”.

>Fluff [How's your pilot different from everyone else?]: Lavian Darsak is a member of the forgotten race, different from the human's who destroyed the world but somehow closely related. As a member of the tribe he trained with swords and guns, the tribal rituals of old merely changing to become suitable to these new advances in technology. Like any valley-goer male he wishes to become stronger so as to attract the females of his race, and he has dedicated himself so much to this cause that he is his tribes equivalent of a perfectionist.
After years of training with gun and blade though he has found he lacks perfection in the most important part of this world, mecha combat. Alas he lacked a mecha, and for a time he felt that he would never be perfect or recieve mates. One day though while traveling the outskirts of the land he found a Dormant mecha! Eagerly climbing up to the cockpit he found a woman bleeding out in the seat. He attempted to heal her yet she held him at gunpoint, proclaiming that no woman of the Heaven's touch would dare let a man touch them.
This aggresive attitude from a female was quite new to Lavian, but it made him wonder. There is a whole group of unpacified women out in the world, waiting for a man to rule them?! This excited him almost more than the mecha, and he decided to leave the woman to die before returning for the mech. He took it back, had it repainted and edited, and soon took off with the mech to bring glory to the valley, to become perfect at mecha usage, and to subjugate the females of the Heaven's touch.

>Fluff [How's your mecha different from every other one?]: Transcendent mind has two parts. The first part is the main suit, a bipedal and humanoid shaped weapon that comes equipped with a heavy shield on its back and a number of melee weapons for combat. This part is somewhat fragile, hence the heavy shield.
The second part is a four legged piece built for endurance and versatility. It can scale walls, absorb impacts with its heavy armor, fire its multiple inbuilt heavy repeaters, gouge steel with its claws, and if need be serve as another mecha entirely. This should only be activated in an emergency though.
Together the two pieces make a balanced mecha. Its not too lightly armored but not so heavily armored as to be slow or cumbersome. It can fight in melee combat and hold its own at range. When not together it can either be an offensive melee unit or a defensive support unit depending on which pieces are in use.

>Faction (If belonging to one): Karn
>Fluff:
Jacob is a simple man with simple pleasures. Primary among these pleasures is turning fields of infantry and artillery into slag heaps with concentrated volleys of cannon fire. Sure, most people join the Karn military to fight for their country and spread the cause of democracy, but in honesty, Jacob just leaped at the opportunity to kill people for money. In less warlike times, he might have been a hitman or mob enforcer. But with the seemingly endless conflicts between expanding nations, Jacob turns his sociopathic interests to the benefit of his nation.
Whitmeyer was always good at following orders and doing what he was told, for he never sought authority. In fact, the less people he had to deal with on a daily basis, the better. No wonder then that he signed up for scouting duty on the edge of Karn's territory. He found his love of mechas early on, after dropping out of architectural studies to join the military. Admiring the beauty of their design and the efficiency with which they killed mass numbers of soldiers, Jacob knew he would not be satisfied until he had one of his own. And now, he does! Woe be to any poor sap who lies in the crosshairs of Whitmeyer's destructive urges.

Its most iconic feature are the four animal-like legs it uses to propel itself and the "ears" on its side, earning it its name. The Warhound was intended primarily for service in rough and otherwise unnavigable terrain that most mechs and land vehicles can't get through easily, acting as a vanguard weapon and patrol in such difficult terrain, often accompanied by a small force of infantry. Most have been replaced by the sturdier 1083 Mastiff quad-mechs, but Jacob sticks to his trusty old Warhound.
Health: 500/500
Heat Counter: [Chilly]
Weapons: + [Ostial Cannon (Mouth) {Explosive Damage, 1d200} (Cannot be used in close combat) (10 reloads)]
+ [Dual Audial Cannons (Sides of Face) {Explosive Damage, 2d100} (15 Reloads)]
Upgrades: [Quadrupedal] – Bonus in certain terrain
+ [A Classic] – Your old girl is well known and liked by those in the military, both for its tried and true combat record and its reliability. This good reputation and the relative rarity of the beast nowadays affords you the luxury of free repairs and reloads at any station in Karn.
Defects: [Hidden weakness] – There’s a reason the 1083 became the standard issue. Weak armor around the leg joints, a concession made to get the model out faster to deal with a particularly bad group of rebels at the time, means that your bird is easy to knock out if someone knows what they’re doing.

>Name: Icarus
>Faction: -
>Fluff:
Icarus is a firm believer that these strange rediscovered mecha can bring only death and misery to the world at large. Some people think similarly - but they keep their mouths shut around the emerging superpowers of the world, and lack the same gift Icarus has. He has an instinctive grasp of mechanics - especially robotics - and can instantly recognise the strengths and weaknesses of any mecha. This would make him a formidable pilot… if he didn't hate the machines with a burning passion.
Every mech he finds he attempts to destroy, using his unique talents to disable them and strip them of all useful components, using them to fashion his own weapons and tools, paying special attention to the jet-pack he refers to lovingly as his "wings".
>Health: 47/50
>Inventory:
+ [Mechanic’s Torch] – Cuts Metal Good
+ [10mm Pistol] – Kills People Good
+ [The “Wings of Icarus" Luch-series Jet Pack] – Flies Good
+ [Ruined Ancient Exoskeleton] - Doesn't do anything good (needs fixing)
>Exo parts needed: (0/4)
Fusion Core (Tiny)
Hydraulic Fluid
New piping
New Motherboard
>Item Construction: [Magnetic Grip] (4/5) - +5 to mecha attack rolls.
>Skills:
[Mech Disassembly] – You’re very good at taking mechs apart, granted that you could get on them and stay on them. + 10 to mecha assaults/dismemberments
>Flaws:
[Normalfag] – This is a dangerous world, and you’re walking that road alone for now.
1. First order of business is to rest, until that cracked rib feels a little better. I don't want to go out flying again until i'm at least fairly confident it won't break if I have another spill.
2. While i'm resting, I can try and finish off my magnetic grip. A few more coils, a bit more energy, making sure it's easy to operate… that should do.
3. If my magnetic grip is finished, I can start thinking about making improvements to my mechanic's torch. I won't try to modify it yet, because I might need to use it - but if I tinker with something I could use as an attachment, maybe I can affix it later.
Something to make it burn hotter, something to burn through the outer shells of mecha faster so that I can get to their vulnerable parts. That would be great.
4. No matter what I manage to cobble together, I have a list of things I need to find to make repairs to this strange armour.
And the most obvious place to find all four of those things is from the ruined corpse of a tiny mech.
I'll search for one. Either one that's long been deactivated that I can salvage, or a small, unsupported scout that I can make into scrap.

Pilot:
>Name: Aldernak Icar'Triarii
>Faction: None
>Fluff: The Triarii people are a complex group. Nomadic merchants and raiders they search the yellow sea for relics of the old world, keeping some they find and trading the rest to others in exchange for food. If the ruin hunts have been terrible the Triarii will resort to raiding smaller settlements upon the edge of the fertile lands for food and supplies before disappearing into the yellow sea once again.
Aldernak despised this existence of his people, but there was little he could do. Aldernak was your average Triarii man in the Icar tribe, taught to fight and survive alone in the desert, to search ruins of artifacts of the old world, and to let no dishonor or disaster come to the tribe. He did not see how the tribe could do that with so few of the warriors with an Iron God to fight with. The ones chosen to fight with an Iron God chosen between the Iron Priests and World Priests. Aldernaks time came though, as during a search for more ruins he found an Iron God laying beneath the sands. He was able to free the Iron God and pilot it to his tribe. After being blessed with the holy tattoos by a World Priest to mark him a Pilot and the Iron God repaired and made ready by the Iron Priest he set off upon his mission. To unite the Pilots of the tribes, to find more Iron Gods for the tribes, and unite the Yellow Sea under the banner of the Triarii people.
>Inventory: [Writ of the Iron Gods] – Mecha Instruction manual
>Skills [Decided by Fluff]: [Desert Survival] – Your life amongst the sands has afforded you the skills to live in it, you happen upon things in the sand just when you need them, providing the gods are favorable (Good Rolls means you are much more likely to find shit when searching, permitting good rolls).
>Flaws [Decided by Fluff]: [Honor-Bound] – Once you commit to something, you cannot abandon it, your consciousness will not allow it, for you will not shame the Iron God that has allowed you to pilot it.
Mecha:
>Name: Sand Priest
>Fluff: The sand priest is quadrupedal and humanoid in shape. It has one main weapon in the form of a medium rapid fire cannon. With that as the only visible weapon many would assume the Sand Priest was a weak mech. They would be wrong of course.
The main strength of the mech is not in it's direct combat capabilities. The mech was designed with cloaking capabilities and rapid response controls. As well the sensors of the desert priest have been boosted and it's radar shielding increased, making it a hard hunter to find. The specialty of the Desert Priest lies in electronic warfare though. Under the right circumstances the Desert Priest can shut down an enemy mech, leaving it open to attack, or hijacking.
Health: 400/400
>Heat Counter: [Normal]
>Weapons: [Medium Autocannon] – {bullet damage 5d50} 10 Reloads]
>Upgrades: [EMP Systems] – Disables enemy mecha for 1d4 rounds, but increases heat counter by +2, cannot be used at the same time as cloaking.
[Cloaking] – Makes your mecha invisible for 1d4 rounds, but increases heat counter by 1, cannot be used at the same time as cloaking.
[Quadrupedal] – Bonus in certain terrain
>Defects: [Inefficient Cooling] – Your system is not optimized for the conditions that the world around you is now in. Your cooling meter therefore rests at normal unless you are frigid conditions.
[Sand in yer pants] – There is still some sand in odd places in the mecha, and it can get knocked loose in combat, blurring your vision and chaffing you very badly.
[Worm Hormones] – The “goop” on your mech attracts giant worms, you best wash it off.
>Fighting Style: Support/Assassin
1. See if there is anything else I can scavenge from these moisture farm ruins.
2. And then head back to my tribe's camp and see if the Iron Priests can help me with this goop.

He lived there with his parents and grandparents, his grandparents dying when he was young, learning how to live in the wild and raid lands across the mountains and sea for valuable resources that they wouldn't normally be able to get. This is important as their assault rifles and mecha require more than just food. Passed down from father to son, when his father and mother died, he was given control of the mecha and the data drives containing their history and amalgamated knowledge and headed east when large nations sea and trade nations started forming in his original raiding grounds. Now established east of Heavens Touch in the forested hills, he rolls out in his mecha, raiding the women warriors, ancient hidden men, and the lands across the desert, trying to forge his own destiny before having children of his own.

Made for insurgency and guerilla warfare, top has lazer and emf trigger, as well as emergency rockets.
