Most of the World Building was done by a large group of people, and the end result is a compromise between the group that wanted "Teenagers fighting zombies" and "Giant Mecha". The plot, in short, is something like this:In the year 2020, a Russian engineer named Vlad Harmanov invented a massive war machine, which he called an M.G.W. (Mechanical Giant Warrior). He eventually gave his idea to the Russian government in hopes that they would share it with the rest of the world. However, the Russian government saw it as an opportunity to be one step ahead of the US, so they kept it to themselves. Because the Russian government did not honor his wishes, Vlad moved to the US and created a better mech. He was eventually able to get the United States to share his mechs with the world. Eventually, due to the great power of these mechs, The United Nations decided that they would be used only by a single organization. The organization is today known as Gama. Gama is an international security and intelligence organization which specializes in the use of these mechs, now called VALKs. The machines are far too complex to be used by a single human pilot, but advancements in nanotechnology were able to solve the issue by making the pilots and the machines into one entity. The nanotechnology that merges the human with the mech must be used before the individual hits puberty. It also only works with people who are AB+. Those who have been made VALK pilots by Gama are called Valkyries.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })In January of 2050, a new virus began to spread. It started out with a few individuals experiencing strange symptoms in China, India, The United States, Russia, Australia, Nigeria, The United Kingdom, and Mexico. Nobody knew how these individuals got this virus, nor did doctors know what to do about it. After a few days of feeling the affects of the virus, all the people felt perfectly fine. Because of this, most of them were released from the hospital. Bad idea. The next day, people in all of the above countries reported getting bitten by the same people who were said to be sick with the new virus. In a few hours, the people who had been bitten became zombified and began attacking people as well. The virus is now quickly spreading to other countries.To make matters worse, a rogue religious extremist group (assumed to have originated in Europe) known as Proteus, began attacking resistance camps and research facilities. The United Nations has reason to believe that Proteus was responsible for starting the spread of the virus in the first place. The United Nations and Gama are now working to stop Proteus and rid the world of this deadly virus before all humans are turned into zombies.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })The Roleplay itself can be found here | |

Katanas Are Just Better: Allison's main melee weapon of choice is a katana that she carries on her back and in her VALK. Justified because her katana is specially made to take punishment and to stay sharper longer than the traditional blade. | |

Good Is Not Nice | |
| Gama (Roleplay) / int_21f3aa44 | comment |
Good Is Not Nice: Despite their Troubling Unchildlike Behavior (see below), most of the team is committed to wiping out the infection and/or just being selfless in general. The thing is, a lot of the character's are more willing to do outright villainous things to achieve those goals. A prime example is Jack: Feeling guilty about the Samoa incident, he planned to unite the (obviously dysfunctional) team by trying to ruin Allison's reputation and force her to fight Jason and Anna. | |

Headbutting Heroes: Allison and Charlotte play into the Personality Clash version of this trope. The most notable is after the Cape Town mission when Allison scolds her squad for acting care-free by reminding them that their victory came at a high price. Charlotte blows off Allison's words by saying that she is wrong and that those who died knew what they were getting themselves into. | |

At the end of the Cape Town mission, Allison addresses her soldiers about how even though they won, the victory came at a high price. The scene plays out almost identical to this one. One of the newest Valkyries, Rei Nagase, has a name that has a strikingly familiar ring to it. | |

Only Fatal to Adults | |
| Gama (Roleplay) / int_a5bdd9e7 | comment |
Only Fatal to Adults: Exaggerated. The nanomachines aren't just fatal to adults, their fatal to children too, however they can be used in-utero. In effect this trope is played straight, since those who have the nanomachines have grown to teenagers by the time the story takes place. | |

Tyke Bomb: Almost all of the main characters are teenagers, justified, as the nanobots required to control a VALK must be injected before puberty, with Body Horror being the presumed result if this rule isn't followed. | |

The Samoan chief. A few suspicious-looking guys show up on his doorstep and claim to be VALKyries, and then angrily claim that the actual VALKyries are Proteus spies. He believes them. Smart guy. | |

| Gama (Roleplay) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: When in a submarine headed for Singapore, Gilbert asks if anyone would like a peanut. Appropriate, given the setting. One of William Kruger's Aunts is noted to have aided in the first defense of Cape Town. Her name is Flandre Scarlet It's also note-worthy that one of the Blackhawk pilots who drops off the ground forces in the Cape Town mission is named Cliff Wolcott. | |
