Muv Luv Alternative: Desparation

D
DamascusActual

Immerse yourself in mankind's struggle against the BETA, piloting large mechs to even the odds.


Author's Note: This is meant to be (hopefully) an entry point to the Muv Luv franchise, though with a few homebrew touches and additions from semi-relevant media. Experience an alternate timeline of Earth, where the Cold War never ended and an overwhelming extraterrestrial threat has Humanity on it's back foot. Less than 3 billion souls remain to hold the desparate resistance. Can you make a difference? There is a template character for you to build your own, for the sake of story and consistency, you must assign a start location for this template to any starting "Base". Update: - Minor tweaks to the map, addition of Iceland, Arabian Peninsula, and UK (as declared areas) - New factions - New factions assigned to relevant locations. NEEDS: - Additional characters - Faction assignment for character roster - Timeline and plot lore (pending F&F lore tool update) *CONFIRMED COMING SOON

Takeru Shirogane
Takeru Shirogane
Level 3 Human Trainee -
Takeru is not of this world's timeline, but this is a secret kept between himself and Yuuko Kouzuki. Being pulled through spacetime and reliving these events repeatedly, experiencing an encapsulated multiverse, has made him a Causality Conductor, imperative to the completion of Alternative IV, though he is unable to recall all of his experiences.

appearance
Fairly straight brown hair. Brown irises. Lean and well-muscled. He has only what the military gives him, only ever seen in a uniform of some type.
personality
Shirogane has a bad habit of spacing out and ignoring everyone around him. Sometimes this causes him to speak his thoughts out loud without paying attention. His skills (once honed) are something to behold, inspiring his squadmates to improve and compete, but he still holds onto certain naive views about war. Has a bit of a hero complex due to the responsibility he feels and a lack of real experience (in this time loop). Can be argumentative if something challenges his beliefs. He will panic every first time engagement of Fort Class BETA, a feedback effect simulating PTSD from his previous timeloop death. Many of the girls in the squad will have a romantic interest in him due to bleed off memories they never experienced (from other potential timelines), an effect from him being a Causality Conductor. He will always choose Sumika Kagami, the 00-Unit, romantically.
backstory
Originally from a reality where the Earth was at relative peace and there wasn't an alien war of extinction, Takeru wakes up in this reality sometime in 2001. The original Takeru Shirogane of this reality died during the BETA invasion of Japan in 1998. His unbeknownst existence as a Causality Conductor is formed as a flawed combination of all past Shiroganes (including the dead one he's stepping into the shoes of...) from the previous time loops. His accumulated memory of the world's events past training is fuzzy. All he remembers and knows for sure, is that he must prevent the failure of Alternative IV. To do so, he needs to move beyond being a mere Cadet, as the program's details are classified to trainees.
