And now....

The world we have created here is pretty spiffy. Their is a government agencies for the creation of mechanically augmented soldiers, and chemically augmented soldiers. There is a secret mastermind trying to build super powered beings for some mysterious purpose. There is also a genetics corporation that is dabbing in the darker side of the field. There is a secret magical society that lives within and alongside the mundane world as well as powerful mages that are separate from it. Demons stalk the streets, taking over the bodies of the corrupt and adding to the some total misery of the world. Secret martial arts masters run the underworld, and only a very few face them directly and yet live. In this post we will be digging back into that font of plot devices, Project Longshot. Lets build a sweet mecha pilot and his awesome robot.

Step 1: Determine Budget
For this I will also be going with the maximum budget, $13.5 million. That should let us have fun with a giant robo.

Step 2: Selecting a Robot Intelligence
As this will be a giant robot piloted by a person, it does not need a robot intelligence. It has a pilot for that. And she will have a pretty normal intelligence for a person.

Step 3: Selecting a Robot Body
For this we are going to go with a Type 1 robot vehicle. This means I have to come up with a pilot. She will get a few attribute bonuses and the like so lets look at that.

Step 4: AI Programming
As this is a physical person in the cockpit of a bot, she does not need this step.

Step 5: Background Data
OK so this was another attempt by Project Longshot to create a super soldier. It competed directly against the programs that created Calamity and Maximum. This is the most successful and ethical of all the programs within Project Longshot. She is still a member of the project and pilots a robot for urban defense and aids the police in Coast City as a duly deputized Marshall. She had a very different experience withe the Project and so she sticks with it. I see her as a patriot and the poster child for government superheroes. She is a good person and wants to help. I kind of see her a bit like Big Guy, from Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot.

Step 6: Robot Construction
And now we get to build her suit robot suit. This should be fun!

And there it is Coast City's Chosen Guardian is a government agent in a Prototype robot suit. She was a test pilot in the Air Force, and was pulled for a special assignment. Of all the applicants she had the best mental link with the robot suit and so was chosen to work in Coast City with the police as a special marshal for dealing with super threats. The Special Marshals were created back in the sixties to help out local and federal agencies with super human crime. Coast City has not needed one until recently when super crime began to rise to prominence. While there had always been some super crime, but most of it was mystical or martial arts based and that works within rules that is easily understood. Of late aliens and other obvious super beings have begun to crop up with surprising regularity. Now when a powerful being goes on a rampage the police call in the Metal Marshal to handle the threat. The people love her, and she is often seen on the news stations doing interviews or announcing a new charity that needs help. She also does parades and school appearances, as she believes that hope and trust in the populous are just as a important as saving lives.

And now we are through the robot section and moving into the last section of the main book. We will be digging into a fun one next, and Ancient Master. Martial arts madness and a threat to the secret masters of the underworld. Should be a hoot.

Also it is the last day of my Kickstarter...
