You thought you’d seen plenty of bizarre things in your life, but nothing you’ve seen back home could prepare you for this! All around you, tourists and waiters and street merchants and dancing girls and a whole host of other people have suddenly gone mad. It’s as if something bad got into their heads all at the same time. People are roving around like packs of mindless mad animals killing anything that moves. Some people have begun to morph into things that doesn’t even resemble human anymore.
You and a handful of other people as yet seem unaffected by the taint that’s inflicting everyone else. All of Cancun has beenquarantined by NEG military and their not letting anyone out. You will have to weather the high winds and cold, wet darkness of the storm. You will have to find a way to avoid the roving bands of man-things that relentlessly hunt you.

Archetypes
These archetypes are here to help people create a character biography.
Basic story earth has been invaded by aliens, their are cults trying to rise gods such as cthulhu (as in all hp lovecraft stories). Basically the world is bit more futuristic, sorcery existed (hence new technology like mecha) and other such things.
Arcanotechnician
Part-scientist and part-sorcerer, Arcanotechnicians understand the fundamental principles underlying D-Engines and mecha technology. They tend to be cerebral, in order to understand the great technical feats with which they work, as well as willful, in order to resist the mind-shattering principles upon which arcanotechnology is based.
Engel Pilot
Regarded as the New Earth Government’s elite pilots, Engel Pilots “commune” with the strange and mysterious Engels. Their lives are very stressful as they see more regular combat than any other NEG force. Engel Pilots tend to be perceptive, to better acquire targets at a distance, and willful, in order to effectively overcome the “consciousness” in every Engel.
Intelligence Agent
Information wins wars and the Aeon War is no different. Intelligence Agents might be spies trying to infiltrate a cult, part of a mecha team gathering military intel, or working as counterespionage to root out cult spies within the New Earth Government. They tend to be intelligent, to better recognize and creatively process important data, and perceptive, to better notice important details.
Mecha Pilot
Mecha Pilots are the mainstay of the New Earth Government’s army – soldiers in mechanized war machines as tall as buildings. They are anywhere and everywhere the NEG needs them, pulling guard duty at bases and installations, performing special forces raids deep inside enemy territory, or fighting on the front lines. Mecha Pilots tend to be perceptive, to better acquire targets at a distance, and agile, to better use the close quarters weapons indicative of many NEG mecha.
Occult Scholar
With the advent of arcanotechnology and the Arcanotech Wars, a new class of scholar emerged – the Occult Scholar. Occult is the term broadly used to describe the otherworldly forces now ravaging the Earth and Occult Scholars are those who risk their soundness of mind to delve into the lost secrets surrounding them. Many times, their occult pursuits bring them to the practice of sorcery. They tend to be cerebral, in order to comprehend the range of knowledge required for their studies, and willful, to maintain their sanity and, in many cases, to work magic.
Soldier
Soldiers are those warriors who fight outside of mecha. They are the brave infantry charging across the field of battle, the police keeping order in New Earth Government cities, and the special forces troops sneaking in behind enemy lines. They tend to be perceptive, to better acquire targets at a distance, and enduring, to better withstand the physical rigors of their duty.
Tager
The holy warriors of the Eldritch Society, Tagers are those who have undergone the Rite of Sacred Union. They have become one with a Ta’ge symbiont, a thing from beyond space and time, which turns them into a powerful supernatural warrior. They tend to be agile, to better fight enemies up close and personal, and willful, to survive the Rite of Sacred Union.
Race
Human
The former dominant species of Earth, Humans are much as they are in our modern world. Their world has gotten a lot bigger since the advent of the Aeon War however and people don’t live with the same prejudices and petty issues that they once did.
Nazzadi
The Nazzadi are biogenetic creations of the Migou originally sent to destroy Humanity in the First Arcanotech War. Discovering that they were manufactured, they rebelled against their secret masters. They are creatures of darkest night but are similar to Humans in most respects. Their culture is in most ways ours, but they struggle to create their own racial identity.
