CORELINE (D20 Modern/D20 BESM Setting).

[Lord Zack]

I suggest that it might be a good idea to create a forum specifically for Coreline. Also it would be relatively easy to set up a wiki on Google Sites or something. If you agree, I could set stuff up. Also, I'm wondering how much fighting power Cortana and the Pan African Nation have and exactly how far their borders extend.

Coreline now has it's own forums.

Ok, man, that's awesome.

As for Pan-African Nation, I haven't been able to think of much. What I have thought is that it's got enough firepower to be a serious threat to anybody who tries something dumb like taking it over, and that it has Mombassa (well, *New* Mombassa) as a capital.

(Doesn't exactly means it'd win, just that it'd be a serious fight if it happened).

I was thinking that it has connections with Wakanda, but they are pretty much built on the fact which Cortana mentioned rather easily to Black Panther that it's just *not* a good idea to have the PAN as an enemy. If they don't want to trade Vibranium and be chatty neighbors, ok, sure, no problem. But they are surrounded by folks who wouldn't have much of a problem bombing the whole damn country flat and kill everybody in it if they piss them off (and Vibranium... well, it's hard to find on Earth, yeah, but it's not impossible to find elsewhere if you look hard enough (like off-world mines, some of which have been making a killing in the Rare Earth Minerals market, or manufactured (which, well, won't be as good as the pure stuff, but a Vibranium brake disk doesn't needs to be like Captain America's shield)), and just as good if not better than the Wakanda version, or at least in larger quantities).

So (Cortana says in a sickly-sweet voice while batting her eyelids) maybe not acting like a bunch of a*****es and at least saying 'hello' every once in a while is just the best way to go from this day onwards...

You think you could do a basic write up of what Coreline is for the forums?

A write-up on the Power Rangers, which I have already posted on the forums.

During the 23 hours the Power Chamber of the Power Rangers appeared under the House of the Book of the Brandeis-Bardin Campus of the American Jewish University. Zordon awoke there and quickly realized something was wrong, not only the fact that he was supposed to be dead, but the fact that the world was in chaos. He contacted his protege, Gosei, who could not enlighten him as to how the world had gotten to this state, but informed him that many teams of Power Rangers had come since he had fallen. So Zordon and Gosei sought to bring together as many Power Rangers as they could.

However Zordon wasn't the only once fallen entity from the Power Rangers universe to make a return in Coreline. Dark Specter and his United Alliance of Evil had also returned. Once more they sought to conquer the universe and recognizing the threat of the Power Rangers made plans to deal with them. They dispatched Master Vile and General Havoc, who were two of their most dangerous and most competent commanders, along with Goldar and Ecliptor as field commanders, Finster as their monster maker and the forces of the Machine Empire as their army, along with Super Putty Patrollers and Quantrons that serve as the personal forces of Goldar and Ecliptor respectively.

Angel Grove appeared as a suburb of Los Angeles and the UAE so made that city their first target... only to get their butts handed to them by a combination of the Los Angeles National Guard and "normal" citizenry, who by this point had already dealt with a lot of trouble during Operation: Takeback. The Zeo Rangers only showed up in time to help with the clean-up. However, since then Master Vile and General Havoc have come up with a l variety of devious stratagems to attempt to weaken the Power Rangers and other enemies as well as allying with other Power Rangers villains among others.

OK, that's an awesome idea, man.

LordZack: W/your permission, man, I'm gonna go and post a link to the new forum and the M&M campaign over on my DevArt Journal.

 

[Lord Zack]

Fine with me.

I suggest that the IKDF might use giant robots in it's daikaiju fighting missions. Possibly SHIELD might lend them Red Ronin, which first appeared in Marvel's Godzilla comics. Possibly they may be trying to obtain their own giant robots as well. Most mobile suits and mechs of similar or smaller size would likely prove too small to be a match for many Kaiju. A Super Robot might be needed. The Tesla-Leicht Institutes' Grungust series (from Super Robot Wars), especially the mass production version of the Type 2 might be suitable. Isurugi Industries is negiotating with the TLI for the right to mass produce the Grungust and with the IKDF for the contract to provide them to them. This has led Anaheim Industries to work on adapting the Psyco Gundam for anti-kaiju operations. Adukurf Mechano-Industries (designer of mobile armors from Gundam Seed Destiny) are considering a similar effort. However not all members of the IKDF agree that giant robots are a necessarily or valuable part of there arsenal and thus it's not certain that they will persue such a contract. Also, they've recently taken control of the Jeager project and might decide to produce more Jeagers instead.

Being honest, my own ideas regarding Pacific Rim need refinement (for the lack of a better term ATM), but the idea in general regarding said dimension(s) was something like this:

It is a (relatively) recent contact with that particular dimension, and said first contact had a pretty epic backfire: the CLULESS Virus has reactivated the rift to the Kaiju Masters' dimension and so not only has the Kaiju War restarted.... it has escalated.

The Serizawa Scale is probably going to have to be rewritten... big Kaiju are now occasionally supported by mini-Kaiju which are very nasty anti-personnel/assassination weapons... the United Nations are working on their own version of PPDC over on The Line to organize the whole lot of anti-Kaiju factions out there (with the first of their "Shatterdome" bases being one which popped over on Australia and more going to be built in the future), while over on the Pac Rim universes the PPDC needs all the firepower it can get.

The Megacorporations and other Line governments (liks Orb's) stand in, producing Jaegers and other types of mecha and weapons en masse under contract to the PPDC, equipped with all kinds of advanced gear and firepower. The detractors of such aid obviously point out that this is turning the Kaiju War into a testing ground for the Megacorps' BFG and mecha R&D.... and the detractors of said detractors (which, again, include Orb) point out that Orb and ZAFT are pretty much maneuvering to turn the PPDC into their puppet for some political move (absolute worst case scenario? Taking over a big chunk of Pac Rim Earth using their control of the PPDC as leverage-or so they say).

And of course, factions like NERV are not particularly feeling fine with the fact that, with proper gear and piloting, a Jaeger is a pretty serious threat to their own giant robots...
