[Game] When Canon Is The Mirror Universe
09-04-2008, 10:54 PM
Based on this thread from rpg.net.
The name of the game is simple: Take a movie, book, anime, video game or other property that is grimdark and realise something: that is actually the Mirror
Universe of the actual reality and in another timeline eveyrthing is much happier.
For example:
On day upstanding young man Light Yagami found a notebook on the ground, the so-called Death Note. In it was a list of names. It didn't take long before
Light discovered the awful truth, the name of every person who would be murdered before the end of their appointend life would appear in that notebook!
Light dedicates his life to saving people before they know they need to be saved, assisted by quirky super-sleuth L and reluctant but adoreable shinigami girl
Ryu-chan.

In Second Impact, the Angels granted Mankind with peace and tranquility, but there were men that sought to make the power of the Angels their own so that they
could remake the world as they saw fit in a Third Impact and already they have gained great weapons of destruction. Yet, there is a group of people dedicated
to fighting these usurpers. Only the Children of NERV can synchronize with a compatible Angel and give it the drive and direction it needs to defeat
SEELE's creations.

A spacefaring race of giants spread out searching the cosmos for diverse cultures to add to their own, boy are the Zentraedi about to hit the jackpot because
earth is just around the corner...

soul of the greatest Peace Corps the cosmos has ever seen. Their endless quest: to aid and educate all who are in need.

Fifteen years ago, brilliant scientist Katsuhito Stingray created a biomechanical lifeform with the capability of becoming a companion intelligent race to
humanity - the "Boomer". This achievement earned him a promotion to the upper management of GENOM, the company that bankrolled his work.
Now, Katsuhito's daughter Sylia is following her father's footsteps and starting work at GENOM, working to make the next generation of Boomers even
more lifelike. Among her co-workers are computer genius Nene Romanova, kinesiology specialist Linna Yamazaki, martial-arts expert B. Sylvie (who insists on
listening to the J-Pop band "Priss, Anri, and the Replicants" while at work), and manager Brian J. Mason... who happens to be Sylia's boyfriend.
Can they keep their personal and professional relationships separate?
