Plot Setup:
The stories have come down through our ancestors, and the few records that have been found intact. To this day, we still don't know what triggered the apocalypse, but the legends tell that before everything was destroyed, the sky filled with a hundred thousand lights..a thousand years ago, the world ended.
Humanity has clawed it's way from the abyss since, gradually reclaiming bits of the technology we left behind. Civilization has recovered, but there is nothing like the advancement supposedly existed before the fall. Wars are not common, but not unheard of, either. The balance of power is secure..or at least, it was.
Four years ago, a relic of the ancient world was recovered. An armor of steel. A man-made god.
Tall enough to tower over buildings, and heavy enough to shake the ground when it walked, the machine sparked awe like nothing else. Were these the machines our ancestors went to war with? The ones that ended our civilization, and nearly wiped out humanity? Across the land, efforts to reclaim these giant robots went out, everyone seeking something for themselves. Some to research, some to defend, others to build their own power..
You get caught up in this rush of discovery. Perhaps you are chosen as a pilot, or you find a machine on your own..
A Little Explanation
The world is roughly 1970s tech crossed with futuristic remnants recovered from before the war. The plot will start off in North America. Keep that in mind when making up your characters.
The Rules!
1) Yes, I'm opening the floodgates here. Anything goes..within reason. I will not allow mecha so powerful it can affect the cosmos or rewrite reality at will. I might allow something without that ability (ex: Rahxephon without the tuning) so the key word is "ask".
2) Keep a realistic upgrade tree in mind. If you're going to go with something huge or very powerful, try and use a more appropriate starter version of that mecha.
3) Make your characters original, please. For particular mecha you'll have to stick by series convention (ex: UC Gundam MS with funnels require Newtypes unless it states otherwise) but don't clone the canon characters.
4) You may wind up fighting another player. That's fine, but work with that player to make the scene appropriately dramatic.
5) No hogging the spotlight. If you have an arc for your character that's great, but work with me so everyone can get some time to shine.

"Why don't you have a background section on the app?"
We don't need a life story or anything. All too much is quantity confused for quality. The less you have, the better as you can flesh out more within the context of the story. Also, even if your past is something important to the character, you don't need it overshadowing what's going on in the present as it makes the story suffer
