Zoids Revelations (Zoids/???/???)

Reader mode
[X] A completely normal young adult human male

[X] Hopefully anyone sticking their head out there to ask will run into the same hostility towards outsiders that you did. An old, retired soldier did take you in but everyone else would of rather seen you kicked out to the wastes. They hopefully don't remember enough about you to sell you out. But a good portion of that town gave you a reason to be paranoid.

[X] When they left, you went with them. You were an idiot and didn't think to fight it more. It took a few years before you managed to escape. They poked and prodded you. You don't remember how many drugs they injected you nor how many times they drew your blood. The stitches from some of their examinations have healed away, but you haven't forgotten how many times those happened. Questions and images got drilled into your head during their "tests" and your lack of answers or explanations infuriated them. You can't go back. You refuse to go back.

[X] Can sort of communicate with Zoids? It's hard to explain. Like you can kind of tell what they want more and they tend to warm up to you faster? It's weird, but helps with piloting and simple maintenance.

[X] ZI-ARMS employee uniform. As one of the most prosperous Zoids manufacturers, they're all over the world. Kind of hard not to recognize their logo.

[X] Your only family is on the line. If it was just anyone from the village, then you'd probably not care this much. But someone that raised you? Operations aren't cheap and neither is transporting a patient from a village to a city safely. You can't wait to just get the money through a normal job.

[X] There's a buffet downstairs. It will mostly be the other desperate pilots hired for this insanity, but might have one or two other people. And it might be worth meeting some of the people who you'll potentially be fighting beside.

No real rhyme or reasoning, just picked the ones I liked.

[X] You were spooked by the fact that people were looking for you. These people were armed and well equipped and while they left empty handed then, you can't imagine they aren't still searching. Maybe not for you, but anything Ancient Zoidian that they can find. They paid obscene amounts to take what scraps were left in the ruins and the way they pulled out cash or tapped their weapons when they brought up looking for further leads stuck with you.

[X] Guylos Union uniform. Still blamed for the wars no matter how long its been or how different their government is. But they strive to be considered a military power, even if they'd never be able to cross their boarders.

It looks like what you came out of and its markings match those from the ruin you were in. It has enough decorations and engravings people have been treating it as an art piece. Just one glance and you knew you needed it even if you still don't know why.

Happily adopted into a family only for us now to be trying desperately to save the life of the only family we have left. :V :V :V

I'm really not sure on the faction choice though. Mystery is appropiate on one hand, but being bushwhacked out of nowhere is just unfair (and QM doesn't need to pull as many punches because we would have chosen it rather than him just springing it on us where he would need to keep it fair).

Also, really should probably be plan format votes with how the choices probably interact with one another.

How is it that the faction vote is actually the hardest one for me. I'll probably just switch to whichever is most popular in general honestly.



 
Hoo boy. what to pick, what to pick!
Well, it's a small sample size, but considering the only Male Zoidian we've seen in the canon(Hiltz) turned out to be a megalomaniacal psychopath....

Normally I don't like the full trama route, but the narrative here is good. If I don't like any of the other plans and mine doesn't gain traction, I'll hop on board this train.

-[X] You spent most of that time as their subject. Your nature was leaked to them and suddenly you were whisked away to a lab they promptly set-up. They did some examinations and asked several inane questions. You had your blood drawn a lot for further testing. You were asked to identify various pictures of ruins and the like. Thankfully just enough of a fuss was kicked up that they had to leave you behind when they finally left. But you feel if they had come with one or two more Zoids then that would of been different.

I like how everyone is on board with being a Zoid whisperer. Stright priorities there.

How about a protagonist with zero trauma or hangups? Also the Ancient Zoidian artifact? The call for powerful loot is too tempting.
 
@Pheist question. What exactly are we voting for with which group is interested in us? I understand it's setting up future antagonists, but otherwise it's unclear. Is it like a difficulty setting, setting the kind of tools they'll bring to a conflict, or just flavor?

A little bit of difficulty setting, but closer to how much power do they have versus how much they'll send out at any given time for the countries. On one end there is the Zoids Battle Commission, you get a practically omnipresent threat with resources of yes. But on the flip side, they're hands are more heavily tied with bigger problems and can't divert all their resources to chasing you. You slip up anywhere? Sure, there is an agent they can send after you immedietly. They already had a guy in the area. But for now, you're not worth dropping everything to chase. On the other end is the Guylos Union. They've been heavily regulated and limited for being the "villains" of all the past wars so they're are plenty of places they are lucky to even have an agent at. But odds are that if you're spotted by them that they can divert their full attention. Catching an Ancient Zoidian is more valuable than whatever else they might be doing because a miracle is really their best oportunity at the moment to grow and get back the power of their glory days. There are also definite flavor differences between them based off type of government and what exactly they'll send after you.

The two corporations really have just flavor differences between the two (sorry, didn't want to just do the protagonist or antagonist company). They're active across the globe, but their "security" forces can't really act with impunity outside of their own facilities. But mercenaries exist and it is amazing how bribable government officials or independent Zoids teams can be. But they can more easily miss you, get the information late, or find the police are honest and not willing to sell them a prisoner who hasn't even gone on trial. You can't really run from them, but their hands are tied based off where you are.

Uknown entity is the paranoia option. If you don't see a uniform there is no way of knowing if they are active in the area, but there's also no way of confirming they aren't. Until you can actually identity them, you have no idea exactly what they can send after you or how far reaching they are. Have fun.

I'm feeling some disconnect between [X]Plan: Let's Not Be The Psycho Today and the MCs current situation. They lead a happy life out in their little village with maybe one big scare in their life and then... sign up as fodder for blood sport? And are trying to do really well there and stand out in spite of being actively hunted? All to get money for this one artifact they never knew about before now. It really doesn't come to together.

Organoid? Organoid.

[X] No… On second thought, you should probably skip breakfast. If you want to win over a tournament official and get any of the good spots, you're going to want to get there before anyone else. And preferably get a chance to talk to someone one on one.
Networking!

Operations aren't cheap and neither is transporting a patient from a village to a city safely. You can't wait to just get the money through a normal job.
    [X] ZI-ARMS employee uniform. As one of the most prosperous Zoids manufacturers, they're all over the world. Kind of hard not to recognize their logo.
    [X] When they left, you went with them. You were an idiot and didn't think to fight it more. It took a few years before you managed to escape. They poked and prodded you. You don't remember how many drugs they injected you nor how many times they drew your blood. The stitches from some of their examinations have healed away, but you haven't forgotten how many times those happened. Questions and images got drilled into your head during their "tests" and your lack of answers or explanations infuriated them. You can't go back. You refuse to go back.
    -[X] The auction is at the end of the festival. If you never saw that flyer, you would of been fine. But you spotted it and you recognized it. A set of tablets from a ruin. Treated as a curiosity and a nice piece for a museum or some idiot's private collection. You weren't really able to read the writing as much as it screamed in your head. Barely coherent but you got warnings of danger. You can't let whatever it is fall into the wrong hands.
    [X]Plan: Let's Not Be The Psycho Today
    [X] A completely normal young adult human female
    [X] Guylos Union uniform. Still blamed for the wars no matter how long its been or how different their government is. But they strive to be considered a military power, even if they'd never be able to cross their boarders.
    [X] You spotted a cafe not a block from here. It looked nice and it shouldn't be too pricey. It is probably too early to be getting any tourists either so it should be mostly locals and other people involved in the "festivities."

    [X] Less trama
    -[X] You spent most of that time as their subject. Your nature was leaked to them and suddenly you were whisked away to a lab they promptly set-up. They did some examinations and asked several inane questions. You had your blood drawn a lot for further testing. You were asked to identify various pictures of ruins and the like. Thankfully just enough of a fuss was kicked up that they had to leave you behind when they finally left. But you feel if they had come with one or two more Zoids then that would of been different.
    -[X] ZOITEC employee uniform. As one of the most prosperous Zoids manufacturers, they're all over the world. Kind of hard not to recognize their logo.
    [X] Plan No Trauma No Problem.
    [X] Plan Shadow
    [X] Have enhanced senses. Nothing better than an actual sensors and cities become a bit overwhelming with it, but it still helps. Definitely helps you find or avoid people.
    [X] No… On second thought, you should probably skip breakfast. If you want to win over a tournament official and get any of the good spots, you're going to want to get there before anyone else. And preferably get a chance to talk to someone one on one.

[X] A completely normal young adult human female
[X] Hopefully anyone sticking their head out there to ask will run into the same hostility towards outsiders that you did. An old, retired soldier did take you in but everyone else would of rather seen you kicked out to the wastes. They hopefully don't remember enough about you to sell you out. But a good portion of that town gave you a reason to be paranoid.
[X] You were spooked by the fact that people were looking for you. These people were armed and well equipped and while they left empty handed then, you can't imagine they aren't still searching. Maybe not for you, but anything Ancient Zoidian that they can find. They paid obscene amounts to take what scraps were left in the ruins and the way they pulled out cash or tapped their weapons when they brought up looking for further leads stuck with you.
[X] Can sort of communicate with Zoids? It's hard to explain. Like you can kind of tell what they want more and they tend to warm up to you faster? It's weird, but helps with piloting and simple maintenance.
[X] Guylos Union uniform. Still blamed for the wars no matter how long its been or how different their government is. But they strive to be considered a military power, even if they'd never be able to cross their boarders.
[X] The auction is at the end of the festival. If you never saw that flyer, you would of been fine. But you spotted it and you recognized it. An Ancient Zoidian artifact being sold. It looks like what you came out of and its markings match those from the ruin you were in. It has enough decorations and engravings people have been treating it as an art piece. Just one glance and you knew you needed it even if you still don't know why.
[X] There's a buffet downstairs. It will mostly be the other desperate pilots hired for this insanity, but might have one or two other people. And it might be worth meeting some of the people who you'll potentially be fighting beside.
 
So, just curious, but what's the impetus to have the MC be female?
