You're Quinner
Inspired somewhat by T, here's my concept for an SRW endboss faction
You're Quinner
Throughout the game, a mysterious army of mecha with ultra-advanced technology appear occasionally, interfering with conflicts
You're Quinner
sometimes helping you prevent existential threats to earth
You're Quinner
but sometimes aiding dictators and fascists against you
You're Quinner
before eventually determining that the proatgonists are their true enemy
You're Quinner
and their true nature
You're Quinner
is that they're humans from a future timeline
You're Quinner
where humanity became an intergalactic conquering empire thta ruled the galaxy
You're Quinner
but their timeline is collapsing, because
You're Quinner
the preconditions for that future are collapsing in the present
You're Quinner
humanity is on course to live peacefully with the galaxy
You're Quinner
so the Empire of Humanity isn't going to be created
You're Quinner
so they've come back into the past to wrong humanity's rights and ensure that they'll come to be
You're Quinner
so all the human realtype plot villains need to succeed, in order to push humanity towards tyranny and violent ambition
AzureChrysanthemum
Huh not the angle I thought you were going with initially, since you basically described the American Military Interventionist policy
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
... huh. i'm into it.
You're Quinner
a different kind of space fascists
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
they have to try to help all the human realtype villains
but they have to stop all the super robot alien villains trying to destroy earth
You're Quinner
yeah
You're Quinner
humanity needs to survive, and become monsters
DSTXC
maybe let the aliens do a little damage though
You're Quinner
and they won't just kill all the aliens for you
You're Quinner
because humanity needs great strife to grow strong
DSTXC
gotta justify heading out to space to "protect" yourselves
You're Quinner
then the final boss is the hot-blooded Emperor of Mankind in a heroic super robot with technology from a thousand years in the future
DSTXC
just some amalgamation of a SRW hero mech and something from WH40K
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
mission concept: while trying to repel some of an alien invasion force, the aliens came at them in too strong of numbers with too big weapons, and the future fleet had no choice but to wipe out the entire alien invasion force in self-defense.
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
the problem was, that fleet in the other timeline was going to do an attack on Earth that would shape the life of the First Galactic Emperor of Mankind
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
and now that fleet is destroyed
meaning that, in order to protect their own timeline, the future fleet has to do that attack themselves.
You're Quinner
mission concept
You're Quinner
"Oops, looks like you guys wiped out the Invaders too early"
You're Quinner
"Don't worry, we'll genetically engineer some more for you"
You're Quinner
"You need a much more brutal fight with them"
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
yes
You're Quinner
just carefully altering events all over the world to ensure that humanity just barely survives years of hellish warfare
You're Quinner
the emperor isn't smug or dismissive of the heroes
You're Quinner
he's fighting the ancient precursors upon whose courage the great empire was founded
You're Quinner
there is no higher honor
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
the First Galactic Emperor is a character in this game
but not, like, a mecha pilot or anything.
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
he's like, five.
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
just a child seeing everything that's happening here.
You're Quinner
the team's plucky mascot
You're Quinner
who the arch-villain is weirdly kind to
You're Quinner
reverent, even
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
yes.
DSTXC
me, imagining one of the tagalong kids from MSG as a future emperor
You're Quinner
Future God-Emperor Kikka Kobayashi, age six

You're Quinner
there's also a brutally obvious point of connection with Getter Robo if you're using the later canons
You're Quinner
the Empire of Humanity are the ones who will eventually build the Getter Emperor
DSTXC
oh that's a good connection
Princess Emily
you could even use that bit as like, a way to "extend" a canon's story segments. "whoa you killed those space aliens WAY too quick, so"
ғᴏxʏᴍᴏʀᴏɴ
secret bonus boss:
the first Galactic emperor from the future timeline
resurrected by DG cells
empowered by getter rays
imbued with the G-Stone
You're Quinner
then eventually, by the final arc
You're Quinner
"Humanity has failed to fall onto the right path, after defeating all their threats, so there's nothing left to pressure them"
You're Quinner
"So in the end, the ones who force them to evolve must be us"
BattroidBattery
really strong concept imo
BattroidBattery
and i usually hate time travel stuff so
You're Quinner
the rules of it are a little handwavey but hey
You're Quinner
super robots
You're Quinner
holy shit
You're Quinner
oops wrong plurk
Rama
I had this exact concept
DSTXC
oh you can even do Gundam 00 and Dancouga Nova and have them be like "who ELSE is fighting everyone at once?!"
Rama
I was gonna do it as an SV quest even
DSTXC
when your idea has the opposite motive
You're Quinner
SV?
Rama
sufficient velocity, where Talia is doing her SAO But Good story in quest form
Rama
Of course when I say "going to" there is a severe asterisk next to that
Rama
cf. my tabletop GMing habits
