Stardust Rising [Mecha Fantasy] (COMPLETE)

Saviour or destroyer? Warrior or liberator? The inevitable… or the possible? When a mysterious disaster causes amnesiac war hero Lieutenant Zelen Athelstan to lose his ability to pilot an Eidolon, Corporal Asena Shiranui is tasked with healing his mind and bringing him back to fighting shape. Asena is chosen for her unique ability to evoke repressed memories, but there's a catch. The only way she or anyone can get through to Zelen is by impersonating the AI entity that had supported him throughout his legendary career before it too was destroyed in the same disaster that claimed Zelen's memories. What Asena learns about the gifted yet broken soldier threatens to shake the foundations of her sheltered life, enough to alter the course of humanity's 140-year-long war against a faceless enemy... What to expect: - mecha battles and missions - sprawling character-driven story with POV shifts - military dictatorship setting built upon a near-extinction event - MC's "power level" may fluctuate dramatically along with what's happening in the story - flawed characters with emotional baggage (don't say I didn't warn you!) This story in its current form is COMPLETE. No more updates on Royal Road.
