A normal cryptic introduction:
He will rain down snares upon the wicked. Fire and brimstone and scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.
--The Bible, Psalms 11:6
Ancient machines move through forests of steel and concrete, while outlaws walk the boundary between civilization and wilderness.
A girl who believes in the gods struggles to practice kindness and virtue, while the gods' gaze has nothing to do with suffering itself.
Even so, don't wait until the end to finally understand.
Virtue and kindness themselves must never be corrupted.
What matters is not experience, but the act of "choosing" itself.
Don't choose darkness because of the dark. Follow your heart and choose the story you love.
"Amen."
A not-so-normal introduction from a higher-dimensional perspective:
I want a beautiful story.
First, it needs lots of beautiful girls. Angels are nice, and I like succubi too. Beast-eared girls are adorable as well.
Then the setting should have conflict, and be a little dark. Before the twentieth century, when civilization was just emerging, would be perfect.
Give my beloved girls a little depth... Crap, how did this get so dark and bleak?
I figured that wouldn't do, so I gave them guns. Lots of guns.
Finally, take a look at the title.
Alice, you're invincible. Go!
