The Second Impact did rather nasty things to the world.  But if you had never been outside of New Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, you might not know the difference.  The Three Rivers flow again (and are nearly clean enough to drink out of) and the bridges into and out of the city are as proud as they were before the Second Impact.  As stubborn as its hard working pre-Impact population, it refuses to die and has even spread westward to establish infrastructure around newly built factories and around an overgrown military base build over the last decade in Washington, PA.<br/><br/>Soldiers are more often seen parading than patrolling, to be honest.  The average citizen has long since forgotten the lessons of rural life from before the Second Impact.  Patriotism is at its highest in years.  The word 'Eva' doesn't mean a thing to any of them, yet.<br/><br/>God is in the lofty peaks of Heaven, and all is right with the world.<br/><br/>A few select young adults are being sent to the Washington base to make sure it stays that way.  The public can't imagine what they've been chosen for, and these 'pilots' probably have little more knowledge of their assignment.<br/><br/>May the Sun never set on the North American Coalition.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Character Generation</strong><br/>-System: Ad Eva Version 3, Beta Draft 5; free and downloadable from the internet.<br/>-Characters will be 18 years old.  Not older, not younger.  Keep this in mind while creating characters.<br/>-Characters will create characters using the standard character generation system with 50 XP and 4 enrichment.<br/>--It might be better to discuss characters before getting down to the brass tacks on crunch, though.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">House Rules</div><div class="spoiler_body">-Drive may be learned as a normal skill; whether the pilots are actually the kind of people who would be trusted behind the wheel of a car is another story.<br/>-Due to advanced age, all restricted skills may be tested as if the characteristic involved is halved.  However, they are just as difficult to learn.<br/>-Blinded characters can be directed by someone else to be able to make ranged attacks with a penalty of -30.  A markerlight counts as 'directing' and also reduces the penalty to -20.</div></div><br/><br/><strong>Rules and Expectations</strong><br/>-Be excellent to each other.<br/>-Follow the rules of this website.<br/>-Smut will be placed in a secondary thread mostly to keep the main IC streamlined.  A link will be provided.<br/><br/><br/><strong>IC Links</strong><br/>IC #1 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=256451.0)<br/>IC #2 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=256452.0)<br/><br/><br/><strong>Character Thread</strong><br/>https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=256453.0
