If you felt like having more augs you could gave the red eye be artificial. We've seen limbs I assume eyes would be available as well. It'd also be another Valk with some sort of prosthetic.

Well yes but if that had been the case Anna would have noticed it.
After all she has already spotted one on Shuri.
I'm working on it, I'm working on it. I have two completely different idea tracks to pin down, and it's taking time.

I may missed (or forgot) something in the thread, but...
1. Stratnet is AI.
2. Type Zero are quite different from each other so Aberrant may fit better. Or at least five different classifications by power.
3. There was no time for humans to decide on reclassification
4. Properly it would've been Type Number-not-encountered-yet
Yet - Type Zero. Either Marduk or Ahriman participated in initial invasion, just were laying low after that. So when they appeared again Stratnet done reclassification on recognition.
just realized something.

The type thing is a Knight Run reference, I am fairly certain. Lower numbers correspond to higher power/threat rating. In that sense calling them Type Zeros is completely accurate, as they stand at the pinnacle of Antag power scaling.

You are giving Doylian explanation to Watsonian theory.
They do not. Type 7 > Type 5.
And Type 2 are Type 2 not because of power to contend Valks, but because IIRC Antags spawned different Types after Valks started crushing their ass so Anti-Valk weapon was first on the line.

Indra was the first Type Zero, and it appeared after the war had been going for a short time.

Indra was first Type Zero that was identified as Type Zero (at the time Aberrant) and first Type Zero that proactively participated in war. If there was Type Zero in First Contact then they wouldn't be identified as such, especially if they "lied down" doing other things.
Public consciousness, official history and what really happened are three different things after all. "Antagonist civil war at Alaska/Canada".

Your first point is wholly irrelevant, the second point is fair enough, but the third point is going to need a citation, 'cause I have never seen any indication to back up your claim that the list is ordered by first appearance primarily (specifically that type 2s were the first types seen).
So I will make a compromise theory for you, the list is a mix of both order of appearance and power level, with designations left standing from from earlier power scaling as a concession to having designations that are well used not replaced and making it easier on the field units by having greater consistency of titles for targets.

"First Type Zero" in this case most likely means "First Type Zero that shown itself to humans and was identified as such" (well, Aberrant). Rest is not in fact clear.

On one hand, these two stories mesh together horrifyingly well.
One the other hand, you monsters, hasn't Anna suffered enough?
One the third hand, you made me do this.
1) This was confirmed since Sandra called it a machine, and theorized ever since Instructor Leonheart did her speech on Valkyrie being more than mobile weapons platforms.
2) I'm not seeing how that would be any better as Type Zero at the very least allows STRATNET to start grouping them by reactor output I.E E/D/C/B/A, but everything beyond that is specific to a particular Type Zero. That is to say what Higgs weapon they have, what secondary weapons they have, and how experience has altered their movement pasterns over time are completely independent of other Type Zeroes.
3-4) Yes the point of STRATNET is to allow humanity to rapidly respond to threat on a scale that the human mind simply has difficulty comprehending, and it is called Type Zero because that is the name from the source they're take from.
It is incredibly unlikely there have been Type Zeroes around since the start of the war as they'd have been able* to shoot down the nuclear warheads humanity used to buy enough time to get organized, which combined with the Valkyries was the only reason humanity managed to survive the early years per this QM post.
Also at the end of that QM post we're told the first Type Zero appearance was Indra to stop the westward advance, Abraxas to keep humanity within the solar system, and Aswang wiped out the central African arcologies.
Lastly in order for an A ranked Type Zero present since the start of the war you need to explain why it wasn't doing whatever** it felt like in human held territory. Because even Ace level Valkyrie require a 300 Frame to keep up with a Type Zeroes Higgs boosting to safety, and in order to draw with an A ranked Type Zero there needs to be a force disparity of 40-1 with members of the Three Hundred in circumstances where a list of Ace level individuals doesn't exist.
*Type Zeroes are rather obvious because their Higgs reactor output is massive compared to all other Antagonist Types, which is necessary to utilize their unique stick I.E Higgs Weaponry.
**Even ~2 years after the 300 Frames appear Aswang annihilated the central African arcologies so without them there isn't any obvious explanation for why Marduk/Ahriman couldn't do the same for more distant arcologies.

So guys, some people on the Discord are making a BAHHSQ-themed submission for the RPG contest, and we need people to run it and people to playtest it. Ask in the #hopes-and-dreams channel here: Discord - Free voice and text chat for gamers

But we got off of a dice based system!

Endlessly Devouring
It's a World of Darkness/Shadowrun, 'roll more dice as you get better at things' system, too.
While it'd be fun to see the Scion 'exponentially more permanent successes with more investment' rules in this setting, they utterly ruin any game. Because at a certain point you get a greater permanent successes lead than even the highest dicepools can reach, never mind realistically oppose.
Don't hate the dice, surpass the dice! Rule your own destiny!

Avalanche must be having nightmares.
Just remember to have cascading wound benefits as is appropriate for a shonen show.

So just to Update y'all on the whole situation the Lite version of the BAHHSCQ-inspired Valkyrie Core RPG has just been submitted to the SV summer quick RPG contest!
A thousand thanks to all those who contributed and helped out and in particular to @stained-glass and @Sir Loin who helped me with the the lion's share of the writing and editing to get the entire thing together! As well as @AlphaDelta @Interested Party and @Tornadohunter who helped out massively in these last 24 hours doing final passes and proofreading of the work!
I don't know if it would be right to post the Rules here considering that we only just submitted them to the contest but at the very least we will probably share them once the judging is finished.
But yeah, Get hype!
