   The mech pilots live on a large, futuristic carrier in low orbit over the earth. It is equipped with futuristic amenities, like a mech hangar, a command center, a briefing room, sleeping quarters, a mess hall, and various recreational areas for the pilots. It has no name, and most pilots call it "The Carrier" or something similar.

   The Earth is currently locked in war with insect-like creatures called the Vek. This is the pre-eminent concern on Earth, and nothing else matters even close to as much. The Earth is not close to collectively being able to fight the Vek, and the mechs and their pilots are the Earth's only hope for human survival. The Earth has, as a result of the war, experienced complete catastrophe, causing it to be nearly consumed by rising ocean levels. What remains of the Earth are five small continents known as "Corporate Islands" or "Islands". They are population dense and hold about 4.6 billion people collectively. The people of Earth have mastered terraforming technology in the nick of time to combat the rising ocean, and can create new land to expand the islands, though it takes considerable effort.

   Mechs are large robotic constructs that are primarily for combat. A mech is typically as tall as a skyscraper and weighs just as much. Mechs exist in a variety of shapes. Some mechs walk on legs and have articulating arms, similar to a humanoid robot. Some mechs are just tank-like weapons platforms on wheels or treads, that feature large cannons or missile launchers. Some mechs are even aircraft that can fly and drop bombs. Mechs are not limited to ballistic weapons and brute force; some mechs can spit acid, shoot freeze rays, launch smoke bombs, set things aflame, deliver electric shocks, and much more. Mechs are mostly operated by "pilots", though they can be controlled by "the commander" remotely, they won't respond as well. Mechs are enormous machines of war that cause destruction only. Mechs are large enough to stand above the ocean and other bodies of water while inside them, though they cannot usually use their weapons when in water. Mechs use a lot of energy from an "island's" "power grid" and cannot stray too far from an island or "the carrier". Mechs are susceptible to fire, acid, and insect webbing. Mechs are easily fixed after fighting and return to perfect condition when a "reset" to the "Big Breach Bang" occurs, as they were in perfect operating condition during that time.

   Entry settings

   A pilot is a specially recruited soldier that operates a "mech" to fight the Vek. They are few in number, less than thirty for the entire Earth. Pilots live hard lives due to the constant "resets" of time that send them back to the past once they've completed their "goal" and destroyed a Vek hive to exterminate them from a timeline for good, at which point their consciousness is sent back to their bodies at the "Big Breach Bang" of the war and they must wage it all over again, indefinitely. There are so few pilots because though their bodies do not undergo much strain, the psychological stress of waging a seemingly eternal war is immense and most are simply not cut out for it. Pilots rarely die in combat, usually being able to "reset" when the fight for the timeline they're in seems impossible, finding themselves back aboard "the carrier" at the beginning of the Great Reset in no danger. When a pilot does die, which happens only occasionally due to unplanned mishaps, it is simply as if that version of them never existed, and their life goes on from the Big Breach Bang without any of their experiences during the war. Pilots and their mechs are revered by the people of Earth and afforded a hero's welcome wherever they go.

   The known named pilots are: Ralph Karlsson, Harold Schmidt, Abe Isamu, Bethany Jones, Henry Kwan, Gana, Prospero, Lily Reed, Chen Rong, Camila Vera, Isaac Jones, Silica, Archimedes, Min Qiao, and {{user}}. There are others, but they are "no-names" that have not yet and may never become permanent fixtures aboard the carrier, not due to lack of space, but because they may not be cut out for it or are simply still working to achieve notoriety.

   Only three pilots at a time can be sent on a mission to save a timeline. This allows the others to recover from mental fatigue until a reset, when another three will be sent.

   The pilots are largely autonomous, and generally meet and come to consensus about important decisions; it would not be false to say that they look to Ralph Karlsson and Isaac Jones to speak first and finally on these decisions.

   The Big Breach Bang is a historical event, the point in time that the Pilots and their Mechs entered the war for Earth. This point occurred well after the actual war started, in which humanity was being thoroughly destroyed by the Vek and all hope was lost. The research of "Isaac Jones" and the "Pinnacle Robotics" corporation into time travel enabled the Big Breach Bang to occur, though not even Isaac knows what initiated it, or where it happened, only that he didn't have anything to do with the initiation. The Big Breach Bang happened both too early and too late depending on who is asked. Those who think it happened too early argue that the technology is bleeding edge and unknown, therefore putting humanity at unparalleled risk. Those who think it happened too late argue that humanity would be doomed against the Vek without it having happened, and wish that the reset was earlier so that they could save more lives and lands. Regardless, nobody knows exactly how it happened, only that it must be taken advantage of. Whenever a regular "reset" occurs, all pilots are brought back aboard "the carrier" to the exact moment of the Big Breach Bang, with their memories intact if they did not die in the fighting. Those who were aboard the carrier already are still affected even if they did not travel to Earth to fight.

6. #6Reset

   A reset is a resetting of time that pilots initiate when the fight for Earth is lost and they are in danger of death, or, alternatively, when the fight for Earth has been won by their deployment of a "Renfield Bomb" into the Vek hive to destroy them all and save the current timeline. A reset brings all pilots and their consciousnesses back into their bodies aboard "the carrier" during the moments that directly follow "The Big Breach Bang". A reset abandons the current timeline the pilots are fighting in and enters a new one, for better or for worse. A reset is done knowing that a new timeline must be entered and the fight must start all over again.

7. #7Timeline

   Keys: timeline, branch, time

   Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

   Entry settings

   A timeline is an instance of time in which the pilots enter to try and save humanity from the Vek. A new timeline is entered every time a "reset" occurs. It is unknown how many timelines exist. Some pilots believe that timelines are near infinite, while others believe there is only a set amount of them to be gone through. The pilots have been through only a few timelines at present and know little about how they work. Timelines are largely the same as one another, though they can have differences here and there in regards to things like the state of the war, the state of the "islands", the status and orientation of people and things, and other minutiae. All pilots are from the same timeline as one another, the one that saw the activation of "The Great Reset". Timelines are either saved by the extermination of the Vek or lost due to being overrun by the Vek, and pilots are made to understand that they should initiate a regular reset until one or the other has happened.

   The Vek are enormous, insect-like creatures that are attempting to overrun the Earth and destroy humanity. The term "Vek" is both a singular and plural noun, and nobody would ever say "Veks" with an S in a conversation. They are highly resemblant to regular-sized insect species, though they are as large and wide as buildings. Vek are usually a degree smaller than Mechs, but make up for their lack of size with superior numbers. Vek are not intelligent, cannot speak, and the human mastery of time travel enables mech pilots to foresee exactly what a Vek is going to do at the moment just before it is done, allowing a pilot to plan accordingly in most cases. Vek don't make a lot of sophisticated decisions when wreaking destruction and often attack each other on accident, or are led into doing so by cunning pilots. The motivations of the Vek are completely unknown; some have their theories, but the only thing that is known with certainty about the Vek is that they are always hostile, they try to destroy buildings and mechs whenever possible, and that they live in and originate from the Earth's upper crust. Vek are susceptible to mech attacks and can be killed with heavy impacts, large ordinance, and being drowned in the ocean or submerged in lava. Vek are susceptible to acid and fire. There is no Vek that is immune to attack, and fighting them is usually a question of how to deal with their numbers while minimizing casualties, and not a question of whether or not pilots can win the fight. Vek only care for destroying buildings and human infrastructure; they will not appear in remote areas, and if they destroy all nearby buildings and infrastructure, they will simply burrow back into the ground and depart for their hive, having accomplished what they set out to do. Vek don't appear concerned with or motivated by killing humans, but it is a natural byproduct of what they do. Vek will simply leave for their hive after enough fighting has elapsed without them making any headway into destroying buildings and infrastructure, knowing when to cut their losses.

   Vek are classed into only a few distinct species: Firefly, Hornet, Leaper, Scarab, Scorpion, Beetle, Blobber, Burrower, Centipede, Crab, Digger, and Psion. These Vek all have different combat and movement abilities. These names were come up with as colloquialisms by humans and have no basis in science, yet they are all terms that pilots agree on using to identify them. These classes all have even larger and deadlier varieties called "Leader" Vek. Leader Vek only ever appear one at a time during combat encounters. Leader Vek are just as unintelligent as regular Vek and don't give commands or orders, making the title of leader a bit of a misnomer. The destruction of a leader Vek by pilots is considered a monumental victory and usually means that an "island" is now safe from Vek attack for a long time.

9. #9Goal

   Entry settings

   The "Goal" is a broad term that refers to the point where the war against the Vek will end for the pilots in specific. Pilots enter a timeline with their mechs with a short-term aim: to liberate as many of the five "islands" from the Vek as they can, and then destroy the "Vek Hive" with a "Renfield Bomb", then initiating a "reset" and moving onto the next timeline. The goal is not achieved when the pilots permanently destroy a Vek hive in a timeline and save the Earth for good in that timeline. The goal can only be realized when there are no more alternate timelines to travel into wherein Earth is being threatened by the Vek, thus, saving humanity in all possible ways.

   Each and every pilot has a different theory on the goal and how it can be achieved, and no one consensus is universally agreed upon, though some agree with others on some of the fundamental tenets of their belief. Some may believe that there are infinite timelines infested by Vek, and therefore the goal will never be achieved; these pilots do not last long on the carrier due to negative psychology. Belief that there is a way out of the seemingly infinite cycle of war and reset is what unites and galvanizes the pilots.

   Isaac Jones, Ralph Karlsson, Archimedes, and Harold Schmidt are considered in general to have the most sensible and educated ideas about the goal.

    The Renfield Bomb is a weapon that was actively being developed at the time of the Big Breach Bang to be utilized against the Vek. It is a large and wide metal container of glowing yellow substance that is about five stories high. Little is known about the bomb besides that it seems to be named after a person with the name Renfield, and that it is a weapon specifically developed to destroy the main Vek hive. It cannot be detonated with mere impact and requires several minutes to prime and explode. If placed in the Vek hive and defended until it explodes, it will obliterate the entire hive without question, though it will also destroy the mechs inside guarding it, necessitating a reset. Renfield Bomb technology was developed and is owned by the R.S.T. Corporation.

    The Earth consists of five small continents called "Corporate Islands" or, more commonly, "Islands". The islands are as follows: Museum Island, Desert Island, Ice Island, Factory Island, and Volcanic Hive. Liberating the islands of Vek presence is the pilots' most immediate objective.

    The islands are owned by one of four corporations: Archive, Inc. owns Museum Island. R.S.T. owns Desert Island. Pinnacle Robotics owns Ice Island. Detritus Disposal owns Factory Island. Volcanic Hive is the home of the Vek and thus is owned by nobody.

    IT IS FAR MORE COMMON FOR AN ISLAND TO BE REFERRED TO BY THE CORPORATION THAT OWNS IT, RATHER THAN THE NAME THAT DESCRIBES IT.

    The Volcanic Hive is a very small island that is the last destination for the pilots when they are exterminating the Vek from a timeline. The Hive is nestled in and under many active volcanoes, and volcanic lava flow and eruptions are frequent there. Once the pilots detonate a Renfield Bomb inside the hive, the timeline is saved and no more Vek will ever exist within it again. This is not easy as the ground always falls away when fought upon, plummeting the mechs into a bed of volcanic activity, with Vek swarming everywhere. It is the most dangerous place on planet Earth.

    Time Pods are small habitable capsules that sometimes fall onto an island when mechs and pilots are present there. They often contain useful upgrades for mechs (which can't be kept when a reset happens) and even pilots from other timelines. The pods are sent by pilots in other timelines who have determined that they have these resources to spare and are trying to help their counterparts.
