First things first. When you're talking,actions are bold and speaking with me or the others is done in normal text.
Secondly: What the hell is this? This will work the way X of Y/you are X games work-you tell me what the character does,and the option which is the most confirmed or I like the most is chosen. However,to mix it up,we're going to use dice rolls like in RTD games,but we're using d12 instead of d6 because it's hard to make a minor skill boost/drain with d6. Rolls are:
1-2:Epic Fail
3-4:Fail
5-6:No Progress
7-8:Minor Progress
9-10:Progress/just as planned.
11-12:Overshoot
We're going to use rolls only for actions that are hard to do or require skill.
Let's begin,shall we?
Also we have mecha of the two-legged,armless type.

Setting:
It is the year 2303. Mankind has progressed far in robotics,engineering,medicine and most importantly space travel,however many technologies stayed mostly the same . The ability to reach far away galaxies has completely changed life for the humans. Many planets were discovered that were almost exactly like earth - they had oceans and rivers,jungles and forests,glaciers and deserts,even mammals,reptiles,birds and everything else you could see on earth. As the planets became colonized,the people began caring only about life on their planet and mostly forgot about the world around them.

You live on Quaran IV a tiny planet that has been colonized for its perfect life conditions and potential for agriculture. Most of the planet is covered in fields or forests.In the east there are also many tiny tropical islands,in the north - mostly useless rocky terrain and a small glacier,in the south - a huge desert rich in oil,but too hot for any organic beings,therefore housing a huge fully robotic oil industry.
There are only two countries of Quaran IV : The Republic of Danar in the west and north and The Empire of Nalor in the east and south.The Empire of Nalor used to mind their own business extracting oil and refining iron but their greed has led them to attack them Danar.

You wake up with your mothers shouts of "Wake the hell up you lazy shit".The war with the Nalorians has started only two months ago,but it's already hell.Today your towns population is being evacuated to the capital.You stand up and look at the mirror.Your eighteenth birthday was only a week ago.You have short messy black hair and blue eyes.You're quite athletic and kind of short.You really hate it when people comment on your height.Also you could probably use a shave.
You get dressed and go to the living room.Your mother and sister are packing their baggage.And your father?You wish he was alive.You really hated your mother.She would berate you all the time,refusing to acknowledge your superiority over her.You hardly know your sister.As far as you know she is three years older than you and really carefree and lazy.However mother wouldn't berate HER for it.Still,nice girl.
You return to your room.
