"Well, here we are at scenic Mount Fuji."
Sure enough, there it was. The path snaked upwards through the forest in a vaguely threatening fashion, like the trail of some great and terrible lizard. The edges of the path were dotted with jagged deposits of glossy black stone which, for normal people, would be at the perfect height to cut up an ankle or two. The few existent patches of grass along the side of the road were the color of pitch, and a number of the trees had scars and warping reminiscent of screaming, pained faces. It was the sort of path where you'd expect some kind of spooky old guy to limp out from behind a boulder and say "ABANDON ALL HOPE, YE WHO ENTER THIS BLIGHTED LAND!". The place had an atmosphere more foreboding than a Waffle House at 2 AM.
Pochi barked furiously, as if to say, "We should turn back, this mountain reeks of evil and corruption! Nothing good can come from such a place!"
Sadly for the both of them, Layla could not speak dog. Honestly, even if she did, the next path up was over a mile from here and walking was stupid.
"Yeah, yeah, I get it. You're hungry, right? Think I got some leftover rations in here..."
Layle reached into a slot on the side of her shoebox, withdrawing half a strip of beef jerky. She broke off a corner for herself and fed the rest to Pochi, whose canine brain was instantly overloaded with the promise of food and forgot all about the foreboding atmosphere. All in all, it was very pleasant. The pair rested in the shade for a short while, confident that they were making pretty good time.
"...I'm gonna have to haul dog food all the way up this mountain, aren't I?", Layla mumbled, "Aw man, that's gonna suck. You think I can rent a golf cart or something? Maybe a wagon."
Pochi barked.
"Oh, right, you're a dog. Anyway, guess we'd better get a move on."
A whine, this time.
"Don't worry, I'll walk by myself for a while."
The pair continued on their journey.

I thought the whole point of ALICE was being incapable of turning herself on unless the pilot was in serious danger?
Well, whatever, it'll work. That being said, "dimensional shenanigans" are a little iffy because the big world-scrambling event amounted to copypasting chunks of a bunch of different versions of the earth/solar system/universe together into a vaguely coherent whole with no real changes to any of them.
I'd be fine with it if she stayed as a digital entity/hologram and just uploaded herself into the killbot or a drone chassis as appropriate, though.

@Lmpkio
Yes.
They start at 1 each. You have 10 +1's to spend. Thus, you should end up with 15 points, total, of stats. Your stats are good now. Your skills still need to be fixed.
Also, yes. Your Eva's stats are all way off. The correct point totals would be:
Legs (6)
Arms (8)
Torso (10)
Head (5)
And also I'm not totally sure why you're listing Extras as if they were Qualities.

Yes.
@Lmpkio
No, seriously, please.
Just read through the rules, they have all the numbers you need. Feel free to ask me if you have anything in said rules you are not clear on.
@Jerkchicken
I will build it but the cockpit will be in the right leg as God intended.

Well if you're having trouble with Nono's spread the hit locations for a standard human are:
1-2 Feet
3-6 Guts
7-8 Hands
9 Brain
10 Face
1-2 Feet
3-6 Guts
7-8 Hands
9 Brain
10 Face
@Raineh Daze Oh no, you can feel free to run Nono, that's perfectly fine. It's just that you asked what my opinion was so I thought it'd be rude not to be honest. Also, just for reference, what do you disagree with, anyway? Like, the pilot sheet, or the mecha sheet, or what?
@Lmpkio Oh, I think I get the problem, now. If you look in the opening post, the tab labeled "The Rules"- those aren't the "be nice and have fun" rules, those are actual systemic guidelines to creating a character and combat and stuff. So I'm not really sure how to say this nicely but maybe give them a once-over?

Okay, so to start with, how about we stick with one character per person since things are gonna get really silly otherwise.
Second, you've 10 points worth of stats, which is wrong. You also have 22 points of skills, which is wrong. Your stats should total to 15 and your skills should also total to 15.
You really just need a name for your Finishing Move, but sure. Also, it's not a mode but a singular action- Berserk is allowed, but it's functionally just going to be a one shot attack. All your point totals are off. Calculating it, you've got:
13 points for legs (should be 10)
17 points on arms (should be 15)
12 points on torso (should be 15)
11 points on head (should be 10)
Also, Reflect does not have ranks (it's a static effect like Burn or Aim), and you don't have to put limitations like "Berserk Mode Only" because toggles like that aren't really a thing the system does, at least not in that fashion. You also have it at Size 3 but haven't bought the Size extra, which you need for that.
Sorry, this is probably because I didn't have enough example characters. I'll build a few more based on less standard robots when I get the chance and probably add some sort of Q&A section
