Welcome to the OOC thread for the game!<br/><br/>As you guys chime in, I'll start writing the cast list.  I'd prefer to keep character sheets on the wiki, instead of in another rarely used thread, but I'll keep links to character sheets on this post.<br/><br/>Link to Wiki! (http://elliquiy.com/wiki/Adeptus_Evangelion_Game)<br/><br/><br/><table class="bbc_table"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Player</strong></td><td><strong>Character</strong></td></tr><tr><td>Darkling</td><td>Kelly (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=134676.msg6043949#msg6043949)</td></tr><tr><td>Latooni</td><td>Maria (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=134676.msg6043392#msg6043392)</td></tr><tr><td>Kimera</td><td>Niki (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=134676.msg6044595#msg6044595)</td></tr><tr><td>Shadow</td><td>Ragnall (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=134676.msg6002679#msg6002679)</td></tr></tbody></table><br/>Also, to start setting up the game, here's the current situation:<br/><br/><br/>17:5:23.42:15: Mysterious Giant appears from space around Trondheim, Norway.  Proceeds to brutally smash city; over 10,000 civilian casualties.<br/><br/>26:5:8:29:15: Monster officially identified by NERV as Gazardiel, the 1st angel, as it proceeds due south towards the Geofront.  UN Forces mobilized, and engage Gazardiel at the coast of Norway.  93% are lost in the ensuing confrontation.<br/><br/>28:5:7:41:15: Gazardiel walks into the North Sea, causing NERV to lose contact with the creature.  Some observers are optimistic that the creature is gone.  They are wrong.<br/><br/>4:6:20:18:15:  Gazardiel emerges from the mouth of the rier Weser and attacks Bremerhaven.  25,000 civilians are killed, as well as 86% of UN forces that try to intercept the creature.  A desperate evacuation effort begins in the city of Bremen, while the UN desperately seeks more forces to attack the monster.<br/><br/>7:6:01:33:15: Gazardiel reaches Bremen in spite of12 defensive lines arrayed against it on the Weser river.  The attacks barely slow it down, and over the course of three days, over 130,000 civilians in the Bremen metro area are killed.  68% of UN forces in the region are destroyed, while the creature mindlessly proceeds due south.<br/><br/>11:6:13:13:15: The UN Security council approves the use of experimental weapons of mass destruction against Gazardiel, including N2 Mines, Orbital Ion Cannons, and Evangelions.  NERV goes on high alert, accelerating the training of its pilots, who were already in intense training after the creature emerged.<br/><br/>15:6:04:58:15: In spite of evacuation efforts, Gazardiel claims over 50,000 lives destroying the cities of Minden, Hertford, and Detmold.  Conventional forces finally give up on attacking the monster, and simply try their best to steer it away from inhabited areas.  They are partialy successful.  Only 41% of UN forces involved in these peacekeeping operations are destroyed.<br/><br/>22:6:16:03:15: As Gazardiel bears down on Stuttgart, the UN Global Defense Initiative fires the Ion Cannon at the creature.  The initial impace blows off the creature's arms and head, only for the monster to regenerate with tentacle arms and a new, draconic head, signifigantly increasing its combat capability.  Immediately after firing the Ion cannon, all telemetry with the weapons satellite is mysteriously lost, leaving the outgunned UN forces to fight a much more dangerous angel.  The bodies have not yet been counted, but conservitive estimates assume at least 200,000 people in Stuttgart metro area were killed by the Angel.  The UN Security council approves the deployment of any and all unconventional weapons of mass destruction against the creature.<br/><br/>28:6:03:22:15: As the UN peacekeeper forces prepare to deploy N2 mines on Gazardiel when he reaches the Swiss Alps, to minimize collateral damage, Gazardiel unexpectedly begins tunneling through rock, making N2 bombardment impractical.  While Gazardiel slowly tunnels through Swizerland, evacuation efforts begin in Milan, the next major city in the path of the creature's attack.  Gazardiel will never reach Milan, of course.  Its true target is the Geofront at Babylon.<br/><br/>7:19:08:30:15: Gazardiel finally emerges from underground within 100 kilometers of Babylon.  UN Forces prepare to mobilize against the creature, even as it keeps on tunneling through mountains, while NERV gets ready to deploy the Evangelions, facing the unpleasant political reality of having to prevent an N2 strike on the creature, thanks to the analysis of the MAGI computers that the creature evolves into a stronger form whenever it is attacked.<br/><br/>July 19, 2015; 11:35 AM: Start of the Game; the pilots are mobilized, and about to deploy against Gazardiel, the first battle between an Angel and an Evangelion.
