PLOT Pascal had his abyss that moved along with him. — Alas! all is abysmal, — action, desire, dream, Word! and over my hair which stands on end I feel the wind of Fear pass frequently.
Above, below, on every side, the depth, the strand, The silence, space, hideous and fascinating... On the background of my nights God with clever hands Sketches an unending nightmare of many forms.
I'm afraid of sleep as one is of a great hole Full of obscure horrors, leading one knows not where; I see only infinite through every window,
And my spirit, haunted by vertigo, is jealous Of the insensibility of nothingness. — Ah! Never to go out from Numbers and Beings! — Charles Baudelaire
“In the end, it was the folly of the inhumane for making inhumane decisions. The terraforming of Mars, the mass proliferation of cyber technology without a shred of caution, and the rise of two empires who sought to crush all of their opposition destroyed our very identities. Those that stayed within became victims of intrigue, those who fought it became casualties, and those who left the system became lost.”
“I had a personal vendetta against the Kingdom of Elysium and its King, Verci Peregrine. There were others who fought with me- all of similar circumstance. Nothing was sacred. The very instruments of my shame became the instruments of my revenge. I should’ve listened to reason. I should’ve done what I have done before. I should’ve run.”
“How does one win war against an empire? You don’t. The only natural enemies of these empires are the times. These times slowly erode even the strongest of foundations and slowly reveal to us an alternative. However, these times are also our enemies. We cannot outlive the castles and cling to our very lives- hoping for the one day we see them fall.”
“I became a victim to these times, long before my enemies. With the last of my strength, I left Mars and left the domain of men- settling on a colony far away from my troubles. They will find nothing here but an aged man with unwanted memories and unwanted sights.”
“Out here, in the fringes of outer space, The Void is growing. Even now it is slowly creeping into the periphery of my vision. I do not know why, but I know this rising disease here is unseen on Earth and Mars. I fear for the worst. None of the guns the empires have, not all the fire of man, can destroy the dark.”
— Diary of Leonard Mathis, 25.04.260
The story takes place on Ark Indigo- a colony slowly moving towards the outer solar system. Whatever your reasons, you found yourself here. Fate or choice hold no meaning in the circumstances of the present, which you quickly find yourself surrounded by.
Technology
CAGE: Anti-Newtype inhibiters developed by the Caladin Empire for all its citizens. These implants directly hinder the Newtype potential of each user- thus rendering their capacity for evolution null.
Coordinator: Coordinators originally referred to individuals connected telepathically to The Choir. Now, it refers to anyone and everyone born within the Kingdom of Elysium. Born with exceptional genetics, even a common citizen within the domain has Newtype potential. They do not age like ordinary humans do.
Gravitech: Gravitech refers to the technological applications of graviton particle research and the manipulation of gravity. Originally developed by Leo Mathis, his own disposition resulted in only a handful of prototype mobile suits and warships being equipped with this technology. After its discovery, the Kingdom of Elysium has kept the remnants of this miracle under a cloak of secrecy.
Hivebuilds: Insectoid machines of various different shapes and sizes, ranging from unmanned small spider drones to massive manned mantis units. Their greater versatility nearly caused the extinction of mobile suits until Graviton weapons were developed.
Mobile Suits: Giant humanoid mechanical behemoths whose existence was completely replaced by the Hivebuilds over the last century. During the Space Wars of old time, they were weapons commonly found in belligerent armies as tools of destruction. After the advent of Hivebuilds, they are seldom found outside the hands wealthy collectors and museums.
Factions
Ark Indigo Colonial Militia: Founded shortly after the completion of Ark Indigo, this motley crew of young men and women are tasked with keeping the peace and repelling invaders. With the accumulation of mobile suits into the hands of third parties, it has evolved become a respectable miniature army. Their current commander is Field Marshal Allen Hale.
Caladin Empire: The autocratic rulers of Earth and the Earth Sphere. Their formation began shortly after the Alliance began expanding its control beyond Asia in CC 157. At the center of their government is the Caladin family- wealthy industrialist and entrepreneurs who represent a colossal influence within the nation’s economy.
Kingdom of Elysium: The Kingdom of Elysium was founded by Ciel Peregrine- an exile who left Earth to establish a haven for Coordinators. Today, it is ruled by his descended: Verci Peregrine. Isolated from the Caladins, the Elysians flourished unopposed until the turn of the last century. Ever since, it has been in a brutal cold struggle against what they perceive as an inferior race.
RIOT: A secretive paramilitary that got entangled in the Hellion Circle Incident decades prior. Their existence is unknown outside of the net, where rumors and superstition precede substance and truth.
The Seekers: An uncanny cult that worships The Void. Their numbers and practices have only been stimulated with its advance. It is their belief that staring into the abyss reveals the destiny of man. All of their members are physically blind.
Terminology
The Exodus Plan: The steadily growing conflict between the Caladin Empire and the Kingdom of Elysium created a massive refugee crisis within their respective spheres of influence. In particular, the regions between Mars and the Moon saw unprecedented levels of destruction as entire colonies were caught in the crossfire. Consequently, the remaining colonies initiated plans to relocate themselves beyond the asteroid belt and beyond the reach of Elysium. Ark Indigo was one of the colonies initiated into this plan.
The Void: It appeared more than a half a century again as a black spot in the sky just beyond the solar system. Its nebulous nature perplexed scientists for decade and troubled them when it began to slowly advance towards the center of the Solar System. The Voidsong refers to how individuals are affected by it.
Locations
Ark Indigo: A colony founded by refugees around CC 225. Built around the hull of a derelict colony that was drifting just outside of Elysian territory, it became home to those who were either born without CAGEs or those who wanted to escape the law.
Earth: The cradle of humanity. Once, it represented a haven to our imaginations and ideas. Now, after years of constant struggle, it has succumb to mass industrialization, near constant civil unrest, and an unsustainable economy. Consequently, many of its citizens resorted to expanding their borders outside of the Earth Sphere.
Mars: Home of the Kingdom of Elysium and its monarch: Verci Peregrine. This exotic land is entirely artificial- created by the mind of a self made god. For the Elysians, it’s called home. For outsiders, it’s a hostile and unforgiving place.
Combat
Unlike Anamnesis, the combat will be fairly simple this time around. You will be required to summarize your attacks at the end of each post and restrict your attacks to the capabilities of your mobile suit. The combat here will be primarily PC vs. NPC combat. Although some PC combat may be permitted.

Initial ideas are up. There's more to come. Would this be something that you all might be interested in?

May be interested, but on a quick glance I'd rather roll a pretty fancy\esotic character related to void if allowed.

There's a faction dedicated to them: The Seekers. PM me questions if you need something specific.
