[center][i]It’s a fairly funny thing… you know? Watching how we, mankind would fight and bicker among each other over the slightest things. For years we would kill and lay waste to each other over religion, putting our ideals on the line while at the same time back at home our people would fight over the rights that they had. Justice… equality… hunger… appearances… or what just happened on the latest TV show… whatever you could imagine with your little insignificant head they bickered about. You would think for such an advance race compared to all the primitive animals that we’d be far better, wouldn’t we? No. Truth is, we were nothing than primates ourselves; animals who couldn’t go beyond our differences to unite and join one another and create a better world. In the end, we just destroyed our mother Earth… Well, let me give you a short history lesson.[/center][/i] [img]http://i.imgur.com/MYLOznJ.jpg[/img] [i][center]In the year 2262, roughly 260 years of constant fighting, our world was nothing more than a nuclear dump with only a few patches of habitable lands left where the man who finally united the Earth forces under a single banner decided to make his ground. He built an impenetrable fortress and had his forces cultivate and secure whatever lands could be saved by using Green House Helixes; devices meant to preserve to the lands that were untainted by the wars. Communities were built within these lands, before steps to move forward were introduced. In the year 2321, the man who united Earth passed and his son took over. Expeditions from Earth to cultivate new planets began, with flagships each containing the newest development; the Framelocks- powerful mechanized piloted units that can only be used by a select few individuals. Dozens of dozens of these Framelocks traveled and spread across with the Spartans, Howlers, Banshees, and other military forces as they slowly captured planets… and for years, things were working for we thought we were alone in the universe. Or so we thought. In the year 2578, we lost communication with a human colony on our outer rim all of a sudden. At first, we thought it was just an error with the signal… until seconds later another colony tuned in and told us that they were being attacked. We suddenly found ourselves thrown into a war with an unknown alien race for years, with all of our communications being cut off with all of our planets. Despite all the reinforcements we sent, we never heard from them… we could only assume the worst had happened. It was only in the year of 2590 that we finally were able to make establish contact with one of our outer rim planets due to the efforts of the descendent of the man who united Earth who wanted to find out what happened. We found that our people were killed.

Beam weapons, ships that were faster, soldiers that had barriers… you name it, they probably had it. However, their numbers weren’t as vast as ours. So we threw ourselves at them in order to keep them at bay, and to keep them from reaching more of our home worlds. Though a strategy like that can only last so long until all of humanity starts to believe that we’re fighting a losing war… but that’s where you come in, kid. You’re here to clean up our petty mistakes of our pasts as adults and to fight our battle. That’s the sad truth of the matter. Remember how I mentioned those Frameworks earlier, right? Well, you along with others around your age have been chosen to pilot experimental Frameworks in hopes of turning the tides of this war. Truth be told, I don’t envy you… because I feel you’re going to be thrown straight into the horrors of things kid… I just pray you make it out of this alive, even if we don’t.[/i][/center] ---- Hello, and welcome to Living Alchemic Drive, or LAD for short! This is a RP where you take the roll of a pilot who is aged 14-17 by scientists to pilot experiment Frameworks in hopes of defeating the Cruxi; a mysterious alien race hell-bent on destroying humanity for unknown reasons. A lot of things that happen with the mechs would be similar to the way they work in Evangelion in terms of synchronizing with them. The stronger your synchronization rate, the stronger your Framework. Not only that, but there will be specific roles you can specialize in that I will disclose later depending on how interest is! I will say that not only will you face other Mechs and soldiers, but you will face certain foes that are comparable to the angels in Evangelion, or even stronger than them; this mean teamwork is critical! Anyway, do tell me what you guys think! Questions, comments, suggestions, criticism... anything!
