The year 2000 was greeted with such hope by humanity. A new millennium of reason and understanding. Peace in our time. But it was not to be.
No one knows, or at least no one tells of how the endless winter began. Climatologists, who had so long warned of the perils of global warming, were as baffled as the lay people by this sudden phenomenon. On September the fifteenth, the oceans within a hundred kilometers of Antarctica all solidified at once, in a flash freeze that killed any researchers present on the continent, and crushed ships with the sudden expansion of ice. The expansion displaced millions of tons of water, and tidal waves wreaked havoc on the Southern hemisphere. And after the initial crisis passed, humanity's suffering was not at an end. The ice was spreading. Slowly, inexorably, it marched northwards, and temperatures plummeted as it advanced. The southern continents, so recently devastated, were forced to uproot their citizenry and flee to warmer climes. Many did not survive.
The north had more time to prepare, and the resources of the world were thrown at the impending doom. Great dams were thrown up to protect the coastlines, and whole forests were harvested as fuel to protect against the incoming winter. Giant biodomes were constructed, their hydroponic fields worked by thousands and feeding millions. Despite their best efforts, the ice continued to take its toll. By the year 2002, no more than three billion humans remained.
But humanity is persistent, and despite a world of frozen plains and oceans, they endured. Refugee camps became towns became new cities, heated by geothermal plants and fed by great underground farms. Scientific advances continued at breakneck pace, and the UN were at last ready to begin resettlement of the Southern Hemisphere. Nowhere was this hope for the future more epitomized than in AESIR, a global organization founded by the UN, with a mandate to protect humanity through science and strength.
This era of regrowth, as fruitful as it may be, is still but the calm before the storm. The wise know what the future may hold, and in the shadows, monsters with the skin of humans plot and scheme. Do you have what it takes to hold the line?
With my bombastic introduction out of the way, I'll just go ahead and introduce myself. I'm a first time GM, but have played in several campaigns. and am hoping to make this a long one. As you can tell by the title, this is an Adeptus Evangelion game using a custom setting, heavily inspired by Norse mythology. Do not rely on information from the series, as you will almost certainly come to regret it. That said, there are some basic similarities. You will be piloting giant techno-organic robots to defeat strange and terrifying monsters, while trying to understand the multiple conspiracies that underlay the world and your place in them.
I am using Adeptus Evangelion 3rd editon, which can be found here.
I am looking for up to four pilots. Submissions will be accepted for two days, then I will pick the characters I like the best. Other pilots will go on the waitlist.
May Odin smile on your endeavors!
