For those unfamiliar with AYNiK, read this. Or the manga. It's only seventeen chapters long.
Anyways, the story diverges from the original work (specifically the manga) and throws in elements of the film.
Six months have passed since Rita Vritaski killed Keiji Kiriya. The Mimics have begun evolving, but despite that, humanity has pushed the monsters back to Europe, specifically France. Since then, Vritaski has headed a special team known as Groundhog Squad. They are trained to specifically handle Transmitted, or Alpha Mimics. In order to prevent a repeat of the Kiriya Incident, Groundhog Squad has standing orders not to engage Alpha Mimics; Vritaski alone is responsible for killing them.
The Mimics are weak, it seems. But something isn't right, and the "Fullmetal Bitch" Rita Vritaski knows it. Humanity is making one last attempt to wipe out the Mimics.
And if they fail, humanity's existence will be nothing more than a footnote in Earth's history.
So, yeah. I'd be looking for someone to play Rita, as well as the rest of Groundhog Squad (looking at eight to ten total members). Like in the manga and novel, Rita will be the only one who remembers the loops.
I'll break down what we'll be taking from which version.
Manga
- Jacket technology (introducing the Jacket Mk. II!)
- Characters
- Weaponry (I look forward to designing the guns; all members of Groundhog Squad will require a melee weapon able to kill Mimics when they run out of ammo)
Edge of Tomorrow
- Mimic varieties (basic, Alpha/Transmitter, and Queen)
- Deployment (because who doesn't want to be a total badass and jump from a chopper?)
Kinda rough, but I'd appreciate anyone taking interest. :)
