FATE: Apotheosis Drive X - Neon Genesis Cybertron<\/p>\n

The Angel threat has been defeated in a surreal apotheostic haze. Or so we thought. An independent astronomy station saw it first. A much, much bigger threat. Titan Angels.<\/p>\n

Draft 1.1 April 22, 2013 - Blue Tyson<\/p>\n

SETTING<\/p>\n

The near Evangelion future. The humans have fought off the Angel threat. Or so they thought. Pragmatic reality intrudes on psychedelic reverie. A not-quite finished project is scrambled into action to try and stop the threat. The only defense that can possibly work is a MegaTitan and this weapon can only be piloted by a Titan. Three senior Titan pilots draw lots to fly the prototype and Ayanami wins.<\/p>\n

A cataclysmic conflict leads to a victory of a sort after a 17 second confrontation. Along with the loss of North Korea (which no-one ever noticed in anime anyway) and most of the MegaTitan. A recovery team finds what is left of the pilot inside the scrap, in a coma, short a couple of limbs. At the same time, some sort of backlash effect leaves the other two pilots curled into foetal balls, gibbering about horrors from beyond space and time. Nothing can bring them out of it, and only an abundance of stuffed penguins seems to calm their ravings.<\/p>\n

With their only hope of operating MegaTitans about as competent for combat as fluffy pet rabbits the military and civilian heads agree that the time has come. The authorisation of the reactivation of a secret Antarctic base.<\/p>\n

ADVENTURING<\/p>\n

The Titan Angels will keep coming. Probably getting worse. The third MegaTitan is to be a hybrid that requires one of the other Autobots [or Decepticons if that is how you fly] to pilot it, along with a team of humans. Eventually the Project wants them to be human only for obvious reasons. Any humans trying to operate the Green or Orange MegaTitans will be brainfried after a few minutes. As in out of Fate Points.<\/p>\n

So player characters could be Autobots etc. or the team of humans working on the new MegaTitan - pilots, scientists, engineers, etc. It will require a crew of several to fly it. One robot, several small people.<\/p>\n

Are the rumours about the God Machine true? Is there another level of Titan? How big is it? How does it work? Joining? A three level Matrioshka? Other?<\/p>\n

SCALE<\/p>\n

There are three :-<\/p>\n

Human
\nTitan\/Autobot\/Decepticon
\nMegaTitan\/Titan Angel<\/p>\n

THE LADDER<\/p>\n

Being a big Marvel Super Heroes fan from way back, this is how I like to think:<\/p>\n

Value Adjective<\/p>\n

+13 Cosmic 5 (Class 5000)
\n+12 Cosmic 3 (Class 3000)
\n+11 Cosmic 1 (Class 1000)
\n+10 Legendary Z (Shift Z)
\n+9 Legendary Y (Shift Y)
\n+8 Legendary X (Shift X)
\n+7 Unearthly (Epic)
\n+6 Monstrous (Fantastic)
\n+5 Amazing (Superb)
\n+4 Incredible (Great)
\n+3 Remarkable (Good)
\n+2 Excellent (Fair)
\n+1 Good (Average)
\n+0 Typical (Mediocre)
\n-1 Poor
\n-2 Feeble (Terrible)
\n-3 Awful 0 (Shift 0)
\n-4 Abysmal<\/p>\n

FASERIP - basic human attributes<\/p>\n

Physique is split compared to Core, into a Strength component and an Endurance component, the latter of which should be used for the Stress track. Reason is native intelligence.<\/p>\n

Fighting (Fight)
\nAgility (Athletics)
\nStrength
\nEndurance
\nReason
\nIntuition (Notice)
\nPsyche (Will)<\/p>\n

secondary<\/p>\n

Popularity is a measure of charisma, reputation and public influence. If you like, bad people can have a negative popularity ladder equivalent. Supervillains, mass murderers, ruthless thugs in The Ball, etc.<\/p>\n
