Gundam: True Odyssey official opens
The official site for Gundam: True Odyssey ~The Legend Of The Lost G~ went online today. Details below...
Prologue:
"The world of the distant future...
A 'System' is created as the result of a great technological revolution reaching its peak. The transformation and synthesis of energy & matter became possible and this visionary new System could create anything immediately so long as the blueprints existed.
However, the System ran out of control thanks to one man who envisioned the creation of a new world. Society faced the immense crisis...this was 'The Great Destruction'.
The suvivors already didn't have the power to maintain civilization so, ironically, without the System that created the tragedy, it was doubtful that reconstruction could take place. The System became strictly controlled while society was steadily rebuilt little by little.
Now, after that time, the System is used by someone to produce mobile suits: huge, humanoid-shaped, moving weapons. The world will once again face a time of confusion..."
Characters:
Trush (could conceivably be spelled "Trash") - The protagonist of this tale. A boy raised as an orphan. He heads forth on a journey of conflict with a mobile suit manufactured by the System to strike out at the foes of his comrades. A cheerfully single-minded 16-year-old.
Fritz - Raised in the same orphanage as Trush. A 14-year-old Trush treats as a sibling. While his personality is that of someone who is easily elated on the surface, he also has another side that is challenging. His forte is tinkering with machines.
Eachie - The heroine of the tale. An amnesiac girl who happened to be met by chance at the ruins. Outwardly, she appears about 14 but her true age is unknown. What will she gain when she comes into contact with people like Trush?
