Quinn’s robot thing
Where Is Harkan
- Super distant future
Where Is Harkan
- Mars is terraformed and inhabited
Where Is Harkan
- Holy Empire of Earth is trying to conquer Mars
Where Is Harkan
- Mars is fighting back with ancient poorly understood gattai-omg super robots that are powered by love
Where Is Harkan
- they’re cool but they aren’t enough. Mars is losing because they translated “love” as heterosexual romantic love which is VASTLY limiting their pilot creativity and variety
Where Is Harkan
- Buncha queer trainee pilots fuck everything up by trying new combinations other than man/woman and save the world
Where Is Harkan
With all that in mind
Where Is Harkan
I want to first say that autocorrect suggested “fart AI” for gattai
Where Is Harkan
Good job, phone
Where Is Harkan
Okay
Where Is Harkan
Aromantic dude signs up because he wants to save the world
Where Is Harkan
Along with his Asexual best friend (echodoctor)
Where Is Harkan
Aro knows that you need love to make the robots gattai so he’s like “Alright time to go on a million dates and kiss girls!”
Where Is Harkan
Because he doesn’t know he’s aro
Where Is Harkan
So it’s all terrible and awkward and forced
Where Is Harkan
But he just can’t make it work
Where Is Harkan
In desperation he tries making a move on his bff which pushes her (her?) away and leaves him even more convinced something is fundamentally broken in his brain and he will never be happy or be a pilot
Where Is Harkan
Until some shit happens and he has an epiphany and reconnects with his friend
Where Is Harkan
And they become pilot partners who rely not on romantic love but on their intense friendship
Where Is Harkan
Tearfully shouting “I LOVE YOU MAN” and giving intense back thumping hugs
Where Is Harkan
Mech’s weapon is a shield, I think
Where Is Harkan
Useful on defense but also it’s just really big and heavy and makes a good blunt instrument
Where Is Harkan
Or in a pinch he can frisbee it at bad guys like Captain America
Echo
Yeah, I think I'm gonna go with either female or AFAB nonbinary for my character.
Echo
Which has the added benefit of getting to play out the "a guy and a girl care about each other a lot but it's not romantic, they're just bros for life" dynamic.
Where Is Harkan
Handgun/shield seems like a pretty solid combo
Where Is Harkan
I dunno what you had in mind
Echo
Handgun/shield works for me.
Echo
I think Ace Pilot is she/they nonbinary.
Echo
Maybe there's like a bayonet on the handgun.
Where Is Harkan
Axe blade under the barrel
Echo
Perfect.
