John Egbert is just a regular boy who lives a regular life. A nerd, a social outcast, mostly ignored by his peers, all of his friends are all online. Normal, just all normal... Until his 17th birthday. John comes into a strange and unique inheritance that throws his world and everything he knew about it into a loop, and all he can do is try to hold on. (rating will be bumped up)

John is one of eight mecha pilots heroically protecting Earth from an alien invasion. Pretty easy on the moral choices. See evil monster from space, kill evil monster from space. Only then he actually meets one of them face to face. JohnKarkat.
