"The Mi-Go, Deep Ones, Elder Gods, Outer Gods, Great Old Ones; they thought that when they attacked, when we saw them, when they returned, that we'd fall over and die, run away screaming, kneel maybe. Well, they may have studied humanity for thousands of years, maybe longer- maybe as long as we've existed... But Clearly? They didn't learn Shit about humanity." -Ace Engel Pilot Rodrick Duvalln, in response to his squad-mates Panicking over the situation as the Esoteric Society of Dagon closed in. They promptly rallied, and disposed of the Kaiju that was inbound, along with it's full Mecha Support Squad.
“Aeon War Syndrome isn’t losing your mind. It’s losing
your friends. It’s losing your family. It’s losing
whatever hope you might have had left.
“They say war is hell. I’ve seen hell. This is worse.” -Veteran of the First Aracnotech War, current Trooper on the Line against the Rapine Storm Dwayne Roosevelt
Basic Premises of the Setting: The Cthulhutech setting, is an science fiction/fantasy setting inspired by a horrific mix of the Cthulhu Mythos, and Assorted Anime. It has been compared to Neon Genesis Evangelion and the Cthulhu Mythos put into a blender and set to "Speed Whip".". It also has tones of Robotech, at times- especialy in the Near-Human alien race known as the Nazzadi- and many, many other Anime. Another Apt statement, was "Evangelion+HP Lovecraft+Robotech+Guyver+AKIRA+Warhammer 40,000=this."
Screw it, I'm linking the TV-Tropes Page for the game. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/TabletopGame/CthulhuTech
There you go.
I'll do further Explanations if and when I get interest.
I REALLY HOPE I GET INTEREST.
@Sherwood @Captain Hesperus -I was hoping you two and maybe some of the others might be interested- and you deserve to be a Player some time, Sherwood, especially with all the hard work you put in to Running the Robotech games. Y'know, if you want to. And Captain- I just was hoping you'd sign on, cus I know you're a damn good RPer.
@WhoeverTheHellElseWant's to Come- Do!
This is going to be a Mecha focused RP set in the Cthulhutech Setting. I'll either be using the Cthulhutech Rule books- of which I have most- or the Gurps 3E Rulebooks- of which I have all. It will be one of a few campaign Idea's I have.
One- OIS Kill-Team: This places you in a lot of urban settings- you are the Mecha/Power Armor equipped, highly lethal, Kill-Teams of the Office of Internal Security. Your main opponents will be cultists and terrorist groups- and the horrific monster's they summon. This is also the campaign the most likely to spend the longest out of their Mecha.
Mainstream NEG Military: You are Mecha Pilots on the front lines of one of the various wars being fought by Humanity for it's survival- you fly Good Ol' Fashioned Human and Nazzadi Mecha into combat against things man was not meant to know. This campaign will likely consist of military missions leading up to more and more dangerous situations.
Engel Squadron: Engels are kind of like the EVA's from Neon Genesis Evanglion- except, with a sane designer. That is to say, theirs more than four (Hell, theres around Twelve /types/), they come in small, medium, large, and FUCK YOU ALIENS, and they can be produced at an semi-reasonable rate. That said, they still drive the PIlot half mad, and are made from Cloned Eldritch Monster, Cyborged and altered with Human and Nazzadi DNA. On the other hand? They are /fucking awesome/ death-machines. They are among the few things capable of going toe to toe with even the mighty Star-Spawn of Cthulhu, and the most advanced of Migou Mecha. They are, some would say, humanities greatest hope. This will likely resemble the military campaign, but taken up to 11, and with a good deal more "Horror" involved.
Scout Force: You are an small, elite force of scout-pilots on the front against either the Migou, or the Rapine Storm. I get to have some real /fun/ with this one, as you are going to be in the lighter mecha, behind enemy lines. You will see horrific things, and there will be segments outside your Mecha.
