Yes and no, because the story is still up for change and at this point not very fleshed out, but I can give some pointers on where I intent on going with it! The elevator pitch would be: Top Gun: Maverick - but make it jet kaijus Another elevator pitch could be: Arcade game turns people into (sometimes vengeful) plane spirits The concept of the story is based on the Polybius urban myth, where a mysterious arcade game caused people headaches and suicides - except in UnfOp, people turn into plane monsters post-death if they have played the game somewhat excessively. How, you may ask? Well, it's a big mystery! (read as: I'm still working on this, but also I don't think every mystery needs to be uncovered, some things work better when they remain mysterious so it might just stay forever unexplained. Something something bilinguar beats and vibrations changing the underlying nature of your soul, or such) There are different fractions fighting against one another; some people have truly and honestly lost their minds post-death and just want to cause havoc, others enjoy their new existence and want to just be left alone in a world that won't let them, and then there is there are also those looking to control and utilize them to gain power and domination. And then there is the foundation looking to just secure them for various reasons. Overall, it's a story rooted in the 80s/90s with somewhat noticeable anti-war sentiments. Also nostalgia. A very first pitch/draft I wrote goes as follows: Man and machine. A mysterious bond between warm flesh and cold metal. An unexplainable infatuation. Man and war. A dangerous combination; a deadly pull towards destruction.

In Japan, the Bf109 has become fixed with the image of "hit-and-run" tactics, but it was puzzling because the ace of the skies, Marseille's, fighting method was the exact opposite of that image: "circling around and around for a shooting opportunity." One of the reasons I understood that reason was when I saw a Messerschmitt that was being restored in America.🇺🇸

A bit of gray planet world building me and @neoncityrain worked on, factions! Keep in mind that this is from the perspective of about six, seven years after the events of Casualties: Unknown.

Zagerus Breakers Union: Lead by the baron known as Chiron, these guys primarily are scrappers and arms dealers. Their main base of operation is a semi-automated foundry for processing metals, and so they've been instrumental in building projects.

The town of Sticks: Currently without a specific leader, Sticks is the closest place to a "city" on the gray planet. It is a town made up of a few hundred sawians housed in refurbished pods, buildings, shacks, lean-to's, etc. Anyone can live here, as long as they don't cause trouble, and this is enforced by basic manners and a few local do-gooders with a conscience.

Porters: Lead by the Icke known as Percival, this is a small group of sawians who have dedicated their time to unlocking and distributing the secrets of human technology. Not often attacked by other groups due to the fact that their work is very delicate, and a lot of it takes places in a "Clean Room" not far from Sticks you don't want to mess up.

Dune Riders: Lead by the dune known as Helbent, this is a gang of sawians who are more focused on taking stuff than any kind of sustainability. Made up mostly of SAW-12 "Dunes", they'll attack random groups they come across to take whatever they want. This also isn't a single organized group, and more a collective term for this kinda ideology. The only reason Helbent is the "leader" is because she's the biggest, toughest, and meanest of them all. Also, yes, the name 'Dune Riders' IS very funny.

Loyalists: Also called "Domesticated", "Messy", "Pets", and other derogatory nicknames, this is an ideological group that are still loyal to humanity in one way or another despite evidence to the contrary. There's no known central "leader" among this group, as it's closer to an underground movement with some roaming bands of Sawians looking to get on humanities good graces. As for why they're still loyal, well, "They were nice to me, though." "They still care about me." "I'm not like the rest of you ferals." Are common reasons.

Cave Rovers: A name for both explorers and residents of the Mission Area, having found the endless depths to be quite to their liking. There's no specific leader, but it seems the Cave Rovers generally follow the lead of one oddly-coloured Chik.

Popstone Gang: Sawians with an affinity for stonefruit and dynamite, and are primarily made up of SAW-03 "milky's". Generally, they look for any unopened cache of stuff, and open it. One way or another. They're also known for not being the most respectful to people who might have already claimed what loot they've "found".

THEY DO NOW!!!!!!

just doodled this so it's not the best + not final version because there's DEFINITELY design details I would want to change. BUT YEAH! Chiron of Zagerus Breakers Union, Percival of the Porters, and Helbent of the Dune Riders!

Of course Chiron, as leader of the metal refinery faction, has heavy metal armor lol. Helbent on the other hand looks like a zombie dune at first glance, and that shredded green cloak thing isn't helping.
