Symphogear MHX - There's Nothing Left But To Pick Up The Pieces...

-> Symphogear quest

Goddamn Swordo you madman thank you I have wanted this for so long

That said, I feel the current build votes are a bit lacking

For one, the armed gear votes are NOT NEARLY RIDICULOUS ENOUGH

We need an armed gear to surpass Shul Shagana that makes twintail sawblades look sane by comparison

Yeah but legit tho whoever can write up a short character bio for their vote gets a bonus
Wondering what Europe looks like actually. There's the Noise, who are basically a natural disaster for the most part until canon started, and then there's how the governments all seem to get exaggerated in some way.
Swords are fucking vanilla, we need an armed gear to surpass Shul Shagana that makes twintail sawblades look sane by comparison
Please don't use worst those girls as your jumping point.
 
Given that the big Khona plan with celebrity endorsement is for an idol girl, and we've got that solid Noise Survivor write-in...
Let us rally instead behind this girl, and behind her shield!

[X] Plan Get This Girl a Shield
[X] Alicia Gerhart

[X] Dynastic Scion: It all comes back to the family, doesn't it? Yours isn't as storied as the Schliesteins or the Kazanaris, you just happen to have an ancestor or three who was a knight or something. Apparently, back in the middle ages, knights were also wizards. And none of your relatives told you about it.

[X] Shield: A big shield on your arm, yes you're not really sure how Sword=Shield but you're running with it anyways, it is big and it is solid and it is heavy and yet still you can smash faces with it and throw it like a frisby. and of course it helps you not die and help people not die. It feels oddly adaptive all things considered.

[X] Spirit: You've got spunk. You're freaking out now, but when the going gets tough you get tougher and get going faster. You've got the will to see things through, and this is a thing and a half.

[X] Nerd: You like to read. You like learning. And you like anime. None of those things are bad things… But you're not as well-read on things like fashion and celebrities as most people.

[X] Hero: You have dreams of being a
superhero, putting your life on the line and fighting villains and saving the day with a smile. This can be good and bad, but it's generally painful.

Symphogear Europe is the called the Dark Continent, though no reason is ever given for this except vague Illuminati shenanigans.

Here it seems that Swordo is running with "Europe is a fucking mess because the Noise ate everyone", and I'm guessing we're probably based out of Britain because that's the only unfucked part of the continent left.

Europe is a mess, what with the massive refugee crisis and being a few bad harvests from famine and a few bad jokes from civil war. Doesn't help that this happens right after the end of GX, so you also have Carol's temper tantrum resulting in a significant chunk of people disappearing. Conclude that Europe has the largest alchemist presence by far and hoo boy good luck.
 
From the AXZ keywords:

A series of large scale events led to a major economic collapse throughout the continent, leaving its
infrastructure crushed and weak. With the exception of Greece, every country's government fell into disarray and are now practically non-existent. The decline has made crime run rampant and unchecked, and many of the occult groups that had been kept in check now freely spread underground, leading to the rise of many old fashioned secret societies. The darkness this situation has created is filled with many mysteries and unknown peculiarities. With Europe in this condition, people have taken to calling it the "Dark Continent" as Africa had once been.

Ever since the end of the Magical Girl Incident, S.O.N.G. has continued to investigate the causes behind it. It was thought that Carol, who was born in Europe, took advantage of America's fall from power and sought to move her plans forward under the backing of some European society, or nation, with its own goals in mind. However, some people still harbor doubt and wonder if the whole thing could still have been in line with America's plans. As of yet, the true details of the situation remain unclear.

Europe is fuuuuuuuuuucked.

so you also have Carol's temper tantrum resulting in a significant chunk of people disappearing

I thought Dr. Ver undid all of the damage though, including restoring all the people who got vaporised?

[X] ...Still a sword. It's authentic, it's accurate, it's sharp and terribly well-balanced. You have idle thoughts about firing beams with it. (Melee)
[X] Synch: You're spectacularly in tune with your Symphogear, even by the standards of people who can use Symphogears without drugs. It's simply intuitive to you, allowing you to push harder.
[X] Plain: You blend into crowds even when there are no crowds around. People think they've met you for the first time at least twice before wising up. But the people who do know you, listen.
[X] Hero: You have dreams of being a superhero, putting your life on the line and fighting villains and saving the day with a smile. This can be good and bad, but it's generally painful.
 
That nation isn't America, it's 'Murica.

So basically Europe has all but actually fallen into complete anarchy and could probably be considered a third world country now with first world industry having fallen apart everywhere but Greece and Britain basically?
 
In my version, Europe is on the verge of total collapse but noooot quite just yet. They're barely hanging on, but they're so occupied with survival that alchemist covens and criminal syndicates have settled in quickly and deeply. Its why your job will be especially tough even among Symphogears. Get used to fighting humans.
 
For some reason this quest speaks to me. Not sure why. Also going with plan Khona. Might try and come up with some expansion packs later.

[X] Inge Salter

[X] Promising Idol: You were a young girl dreaming of the stars, to be a celebrity who could compete on the world stage and have her name written in the history books. But apparently, you are such a good singer your voice can activate ancient technology. Ugh, you knew you shouldn't have been humming in the lab...

[X] Tiny: Okay fine you're short who cares? It just means that you have trouble reaching high places, and you get lost in crowds a lot. But you're also at perfect dick-punching height.
[X] Fierce: You've got some bite on you. It's something of a problem when your temper gets out of control, but at least people listen when you've got something to say. Even if some take it as a challenge.
 
Also what is with all of these names none of them are music related in any way I am disappointed

I would make my own plan but gaaah it's 2 am

Ah. Child Soldier PTSD incoming?

*Looks at Orphan* Hmm... Kidnapped for slave ring, parents killed for alchemist components, or something else... And yeah, if total collapse happened that would basically be it. There's a lot about how we wouldn't really be able to restart our industry as it is if we lost it all. Let's see, where did I put that?

Bootstrapping the Industrial Age – Kevin Kelly – Medium
 
I mean, their names are literally terms used in music or words used to describe sounds. Hibiki is echo. Shirabe translates to melody/tune. Maria's middle name is Cadenzanva. Carol isn't one of the protags but her name is a musical term as well.

Ah never caught on to that naming scheme symphogear did; curse my lack of knowledge of Japanese
 
--------------Temporary Bio. probably gonna add more later, will be in Sheet.
Bio:
Alicia Gerhart Bio:

The youngest of the Gerhart's is a surprisingly innocent girl, specially in the chaotic waves of the rampant noise attacks and civil unrest that kept shaking the world and the land of her birth. Thankfully though the Gerharts could not compare to the Kazanari or the Schliesteins they were still kept afloat by various connections of dubious origin. So much so the girl grew up somewhat sheltered and idealistic in a well-off family, always following and being taken along her parents Business Trips which took her from one strange facility into others as they saluted and shook hands with men in uniforms and lab coats constantly.

But it was thanks to such connections she could enjoy privileges like the enjoyement of media from beyond the sea, even developing a great admiration for the Japanese Idols Zwei Wing and their media, that she could obtain actual footage of The Lunar Attack or merchandise from beyond the seas.

In one of such important business trips when visiting a particular laboratory, she was humming alongside her music player to the last duet of her favorite group when a strange crystal reacted in the room her parents were meeting with the intimidating men in lab coats.

After a flurry of panic and questions and tests she was immediately taken to the uniformed men, she was coerced and praised and by the end of the day had been enlisted into the service of a strange initiative with a pat on the back and a pile of booklets, having been told she was now the Harmonizer of Caliburn, the Legendary Sword that everyone and their mother would know of.

She jumped at the opportunity of course, the assurances of her parents's friends and the encouragement of her family were enough for the worst of her worries to be dispelled and with the high promises and idealistic talk they dronned on about for hours it was hard for the young Alicia to not accept the chance to do something with her life. Make a little difference, look out for the little guy. All that stuff.

In hindsight it wasnt surprising her gear took the shape it did even if it was baffling and illogic.

    -[X] Write-In: Giant Gauntlets-oversized things, big enough that you can (and do) use them to run around on all fours comfortably, or palm a human's head.

    - [X] Blond hair that's always messier than you'd care to manage, green eyes you should probably get a prescription for, with light freckles smattering your face (and basically the rest of your body, which usually doesn't matter since you lean towards clothes that don't expose skin). You have an assortment of scars from the Attack you don't like to talk about, most of which are minor, except for the slightly gruesome pair on your left shoulder blade and the right side of your abdomen. Aside from your old black and blue hoodie, you tend to wear whatever's comfortable and covering, with beanies or baseball caps when you're feeling whimsical.

    [X] A heavily mechanical shield mounted to your right shoulder that can fold into an arm encapsulating, sword-pile bunker hybrid. It's good for defense in either forms, and even if proper bladework is beyond your grasp, it can crave through enemies with ridiculous force.
