Crystal spikes from the sky rained upon Earth. Civilization, nature, or sea, it didn't matter the target. Cities were fractured, continents split, and the tide thrust itself upon the land. The world as we knew it, with all of its joys and imperfections, vanished that day.
Humanity would try to rebuild. That's what it had always done in the face of destruction. However, something stopped them. The spikes that had pierced the Earth had brought a gift alongside their arrival. Giants of steel awoke from their dormancy. They emerged from the canyons and fractures created by the spikes. They crushed humans like ants. The weapons humans were so proud of did little to even scratch the metal that the beasts were comprised of.
So mankind escaped. With as many survivors as possible, man took to the Moon. With them, they took their dreams of home. They would reclaim Earth.
Of course, space was not as prosperous as Earth. Trivial matters became processes and the long-term effects of space faring were beginning to become apparent. To find a solution, man looked back to their home. From the remains of the beasts that had destroyed their home, man found a path. One that would allow them to fight back against the invaders that took their home.

Hello and welcome.
It's ya neighbourhood goblin coming at you with a mecha RP. Inspirations are pretty on the sleeve for this one. Witch from Mercury (and Gundam in general), Evangelion, etc.
The RP will follow a group of trainee pilots sponsored by megacorps as they have to navigate being used as political tools for arms manufacturers, an academy life filled with pride and prejudice, a world government that seems to keep things secret, and being weapons of war expected to risk life and limb in order to scavenge physics-defying items.
As for technology levels, think pretty far in the future. More prosthetic and less cybernetic. Generally, the deepest technology goes is faster (but still painfully slow in the grand scheme of things) space travel, pilots being able to mentally control their mech via mental connections (ala Evangelion), and colonies/space stations functioning from scavenged alien technology.
I'm looking for a small-ish (3 to 8) group and more-or-less weekly posts.
If there's any questions, shoot 'em. It's a lot easier for me to answer direct questions than try to cover absolutely everything.
If you're interested in reading preliminary lore to get an overall idea, you can find a test thread here. I may revise large portions of it, so don't treat it as absolute.
