YEAR: 2102:
Humanity creates Ethus, a highly volatile but powerful, clean, and unlimited alternative to all energy.
The Utopia corporation take control of the worlds government through their addiction to their new energy.
YEAR: 2123:
Hjertz Automotive creates the first CVF(Combat Vehicle Frames), the huge Mechas are powered by Ethus and cause major damage in any battle they are involved in. Other corporations starting building their own CVF's, the new nuclear bomb for any country looking to wage war.
YEAR 2138:
Utopia loses control of their Ethus generators to a group of freedom fighter organization known as Prometheus, who give the world fire from the gods.... but this fire does not bring peace like they hope. With their fire humanity attacks their neighbors and brings war like none have ever seen.
YEAR: 2157:PRESENT DAY:
From what I can tell North America is now the wild west small cities and towns seem to only last near what used to be Mexico. Besides the Ethus power junctions scattering in the Midwest, America is largely a vacant wasteland.
Actually so is most of the world: the super fortress in South Africa called 'Monolith' is cut off from the world, the last things close to what you could call 'armies' are in former China & Japan, now the 'The Red Monarchy' and their last remaining opponent is 'The Seaboard Frontier' in former Canada. Although they are a very small fraction of what used to be they still harbor the most power in comparison to the mysterious Monolith.
.......But none of it will last............
Overview: Steel Giants is largely a freeform, open world Mecha pilot RP, you will play the role of a Frame Pilot who is currently in the Midwestern Wasteland. You will begin as a team who are asked to do a single job and after that you are left to your own desires on how you would like to continue in the game.(stay in a team, split off into factions, join an army, become a bounty hunter etc). Your frame will be running on an Ethus battery and will need to recharge it once every 48 hours. Your CVFs or 'Frames' will have varying abilities based on points you assign it. Everyone has 15 Units to spend on one of 3 groups: Arms, Armor, and Agility.
Arms designated how many weapons you have and how good they are. So if you choose 20 grenades(2), a submachine gun(2), and a large armmounted cannon(4), you will have 8 units of Arms.
Examples:
Unit 1 class: Pistols, Grenades (Per 10), Small hand Melee weapons (daggers) etc
Unit 2 class: Submachine Guns, Shields , Sword Sized Melee weapons, Arm mounted weapons (wrist launchers) etc
Unit 3 Class: Rifles, two handed melee weapons, back mounted weapons, etc
Unit 4:Heavy Duty Weapons, Large Cannons, MiniGuns, etc
Armor designates how tough your armor really is with a 1 being it is made of wood, and 10 being impregnable.
Agility will determine more than just how fast you are but if you could even fly.
Examples
Units 1-3: Walkers
Units 4-5: Sprinters
Units 7-9: Jump Jets
Unit 10: Full Flight Engines (Major drain on Ethus)
Character Sheets:
You will have you CS in 2 parts, one for your Pilot and the Other for your MechaFrame.
