Mech x Pilot: Mechanics

Combat

  • neural link: shared harm. both mark a wound when either is wounded
  • while the pilot is in their mech, attacks cannot be made until both agree to fight

Assimilation

  • if all wounds are marked & surpassed, clear all wounds and mech & pilot both mark 1 assimilation
  • if mech & pilot assimilation gauges fill simultaneously, they become a MAG
  • prevent assimilation by completely filling mech’s memory gauge
  • pilot body transforms
    • when filled, pilot physically melts into mech’s core, wiping the mech’s memories and reverting them to a feral state
  • mech becomes more bestial & system begins to corrupt, increasing their susceptibility to the arks’ power
  • this will “resurrect” them as a feral mech
    • also collapses personality further towards bestiality and conquest
    • when filled, mech loses physical form and becomes a nanomachine virus wanting to possess the pilot
