Rising now, anon descending,
Swift and bright as shooting stars,
Thus we travel glad and free.
Swift and bright as shooting stars,
Thus we travel glad and free.
The year is 198X.
The beautiful blue orb of Earth is under threat.
It comes not as an invader from beyond the celestial sphere.
It comes not as an unstoppable plague, leaving rotting life in its wake.
It comes not as the collapse of humankind, their recklessness bringing about their own doom in the fires of nuclear devastation.
Instead, it is the planet itself that seeks to sate its hunger with the blood of the innocent.
Monstrous creatures, strange flesh and warped with metal, have risen from the very depths of Planet Earth.
They spread death and destruction in their wake, walking disasters seeking only one goal.
Humanity's utter extermination.
Under siege by these mysterious leviathans, and their glorious works crumbling into the dust before their eyes, there was no recourse for mankind but to band together, grovelling and scrabbling in the dirt for anything that could give them a chance to survive the terrible onslaught.
They found their salvation in the man, Higini Somporn.
A man of great wealth and philanthropy, it was he who learnt of these monstrous presences on an biological expedition funded by him in the name of furthering science. It was he who, upon the realisation of the true extent the creatures' immense threat, was tasked by humanity's leaders to unite the greatest scientific minds that Earth had ever known, whether they be from the 1st World or the 2nd World or even the 3rd World, to find a way to save mankind.
Sweat. Blood. Tears. So much was expended upon this seemingly insurmountable goal, but the breakthrough came from the unlikeliest of places.
The monsters themselves.
In the aftermath of their rampages, a strange substance was discovered. A substance possessing incredible qualities, of energy beyond anybody's wildest beliefs. It was small in quantity, but the potential was too much to ignore. So under his leadership, his assembled brightest of humanity - known thereupon as the organisation of MAX FIRE - began to gather as much of this substance as they could, hoping that it would help them in their quest.
And through the power of the substance, deemed Etherion, they built a guardian.
Humanity's greatest weapon.
A sword bared against all evil.
Under the aegis of humanity's greatest at MAX FIRE'S Great Scientific Fortress of Vaucanson in the nation of Japan, the GIGA ASSAULT HELL SMASHER PROMETHION will has awakened to do battle with the beasts no matter where they appear, seeking to defend the world from the monsters that would seek its destruction.
For the sake of peace and safety for all humanity.
No matter what it takes.
Yo, so you might have come by and noticed the weird title, read the above passage, and wondered: "what the hell is this?". The answer to that question is simple: this is a giant robot RPG.
A giant, combining robot RPG.
A giant, combining robot RPG where you fight against giant monsters that want to kill humanity. Simple stuff, yeah?
Last time I ran this, I had a lotta shit going on that got in the way of my plans, but this time around I wanna do it well.
So if anyone wants to come back, @Plank Sinatra@Krayzikk@Duoya@GarlandDaHero@Stern Algorithm@Fourze, it's here.
But that doesn't mean new folks can't join in. Besides robot pilots, we always need support crew and scientists to run the Great Scientific Fortress of Vaucanson. Proud members of MAX FIRE who all pitch in to defeat the great enemy that are the monsters.
But yeah throw up interest if you wanna do things like be Chief Scientist, mechanics, pilots, et cetera.
And oh, Merry Christmas.
1x Thank
