The year is 927 Oppressive Millennium. The Climatic Atrocity has begun.
A planetary cult has overthrown the world's government, and the world nation of Earth has collapsed in terms of economy, religion, and culture. The cult's name is GRAB, and it vows that life beyond Earth exists and will take over Earth. GRAB now creates various mecha called Mobile Suits. Their most common form is a Gundam that is capable of all-terrain self-defense, offense, and warfare.
Many of those who oppose GRAB are in space colonies; others are on Earth, where they govern smaller islands and own them. But some space colonies have fallen into other hands and are now used for military warfare, in deploying these Gundams.
Sadly, Gundams used by the GRAB cult have even killed others who have lived in the space colonies and back on what is still known as Earth.
Meant to be KIKEN's Spiritual Successor.
This fic provides examples of (under construction):
- Alternative Calendar: The Oppressive Millenium. The year AVNA takes place: 973. Which is actually supposed to be the year 2985, and KIKEN's Dylan Waters experienced this after crossing the Moral Event Horizon with the use of a massacre across temporal and spacial boundaries.
- Alternate Continuity: What if Dylan never lost his murderous rage, and Mila suffered a Heroic BSOD because of it, further dividing the Org, ruining the plans of Shouhei and Hichou? Also, what if he slid all the way into the wrong time when he tried to achieve something by slamming his palm into his sliding tube's keys?
- And yes, GRAB—which is really the product of a future Yumegorosu took inspiration for the Gundams from the actual franchise!
- But Not Too Foreign: Buzz is part-Japanese due to his relation to Kakeru Kouen.
- Church of Happyology: GRAB has qualms against critics, and those who do are consequently converted in to GRAB-affiliated Skeptics (yes, with a capital S—think lukewarm Christians), or killed.
- Religion of Evil: Well, whaddya think about GRAB's recent activities, anyway?
- Religious Horror: If you become a GRABBER, this is what happens whenever you have to go through a Revising process.
- Religion of Evil: Well, whaddya think about GRAB's recent activities, anyway?
- Fantastic Racism: Typically, in Gundam franchise works, its usually Puny Earthlings vs. Born Winner Spacelings. But this time, its an Inverted Trope, and at the same time subverted for Gundam—not the trope as a whole: Those in space are those who refuse to communicate and use technology that well like Newtypes, while those who can are on Earth and rule at least 3/4 of it.
- Simply put, they are still WE Puny Spacelings vs. That Religious Cult Who Kicked Us Out Of Home.
- Fun with Acronyms: GRAB = the Greatly Renowned Authority of Benevolence. Could also double as a Meaningful Name: the GRABBERS think they are doing these invasions for the good of the world.
- Knight Templar: Pretty much what GRAB embodies.
- Grand Theft Prototype: 18 Super Prototypes were stolen from GRAB in an effort to gain some edge in the war.
- The Hero: Buzz diRonnio is the leader of Team AVNA and provided them with their Gundams.
- Humongous Mecha: This is a Gundam series! What did you expect?
- Combining Mecha: Mostly two piece-combinations found in the Mobile Suit Combination Line.
- Mecha Expansion Pack: Anything in the Mobile Suit Armored Line—the armor can convert itself to backpack upgrades.
- I Know Mortal Kombat: Justified in that the Mobile Suit Handling Engine's HUD/interface resembles that of a cross between Dynasty Warriors: Gundam and an MMORPG called Hubspace.
- Mutually Fictional: Namco Bandai are now GRAB's 756Tech, creating Gundam.
- Postmodernism: Just what did Yumegorosu do to Namco and Bandai? Provide tech for real-life Gundam creation.
- This then eliminates it from the Gundam canon and is part of the KIKEN-verse.
- Spiritual Successor: To the author's earlier work, KIKEN. But one character can tell you that he did a Time Skip by accident—after trying to cause a massacre's second wave, turning the Conflict into a full-blown war that lasts centuries.
