Campaign: Meteor
It is the 1622nd year of the Crythanian Empire. Over the centuries, the Empire has grown in size and power, slowly and steadily, until it spans over half of Valantis. It boasts the world's strongest military, with a backbone of individual soldiers wielding Anima Drivers, weapons fueled by the spirits of the dead. There is no force that can oppose it. Its expansion can only be slowed, never stopped. There is no question of if it will someday cover the entire world, only of when.
Unless you succeed.
Acherys, known otherwise simply as The Capital, is the greatest city in the world. It stretches to the horizon from the heart of the empire, shining like a brilliant jewel. However, Acherys is actually two cities. The Acropolis is the elevated home of the nobility, a paradise of luxury and hedonism. Surrounding it, MUCH larger, is the Lower City, a labyrinth of slums and neglect where the common folk fight, steal, and kill to survive. There is only one hope for those suffering in the Lower City's squalor to reach the Acropolis, from which they are forbidden entry: The Uplift Project. Once a year, there's a random lottery to select a handful of lower citizens to receive the honor of becoming nobles and rising to the opulence of the Acropolis. However, this mercy offered by the Empire hides countless terrible secrets.
It is the Lower City that you call home, and it is where you found Meteor. A woman named Elethia Ol-Matevos is at the heart of a secret shadow organization seeking to end the Empire's tyranny for good. She has managed to acquire a handful of stolen Anima Drivers, and those with the strength and determination to wield them against the Empire from within. Her goals are simple: Kill the Council of Kings, and kill the entire royal family. Burn down the Acropolis, and return the world to the people.
You are one of a select few, fighting an unwinnable battle against an unbeatable foe. When you bare your fangs at the Empire, they will bring unimaginable force down to crush you. Nevertheless, will you fight?
Meteor is a dark fantasy cyberpunk Valor campaign about killing fascists, inspired loosely by Akame ga Kill and Final Fantasy VII. Your enemy is unbelievably cruel and unbelievably powerful, so you must show them no mercy as you clear the path to the emperor.
Rules
Vanilla Valor, no special rules. Game is scheduled to begin after Project Lorica ends, so somewhere in the vicinity of Spring-Summer 2021.
