Emoto-AG

**Emoto Antigravetic Research** is an AG Research firm using the Super Modified League as a way to test out their custom TwinDrive Thrust system, a system that produces forward momentum through using electrogravetics to push the vehicle forward, left, and right with more power than normal. Emoto-AG is of the youngest main teams competing in Super Modified, and one of the biggest fan favorites for their incredible speed and sharp handling as underdogs of the league.

## History

Emoto-AG was founded in 2050 by the founder of the same name, Mio Emoto. A former "security specialist" and tinkerer at heart, Mio took it upon herself to utilize her own technology in a more constructive, genuine manner through official channels. Originally working at Whirlwind Research and Development, Mio was backed by multiple investors as she worked on making a commercially ready electrograv drive for use in consumer vehicles. At the last minute, however, funding was cut for the project as it was deemed "impractical" by the director of the company. Not persuaded to stop due to the writing on the wall, Mio packed her research up, patented it before Whirlwind could, and proceeded to get to work for herself, by herself and a few other researchers she persuaded to go along with her.

While being independent without much funding was difficult at first, they'd managed to secure a primary investor alongside other smaller sources of funding, which allowed them to pursue the bleeding edge technology of electrogravitics in automotive and personal applications. In a staggering 6 months of development time between her leaving Whirlwind and establishing her company, Mio demonstrated that these drives were not just feasible, but practical; using a prototype labeled as P-00, Mio shocked the spectators with a dominant run through the track during a demo run for the technology. With incredible maneuverability and top end speed, Emoto looked to dominate multiple racing leagues with their incredibly capable technology. However, these plans would go awry when the technology, after its initial demo run, was immediately outlawed in almost every racing league across the world. Uncertainty followed; Whirlwind tried to absorb Emoto-AG; and Reflex tried to buy them out during that time, which put a sour taste in Emoto's mouth as she continued her research in plans of establishing her own one-make league.

Though this wouldn't work out, she did have another chance when an unusual opportunity arose; before the 2054 season, one of Super Modified's teams, Uplift, dropped out due to a lack of success. With a local racing league next to her, and almost nothing to hold their team back, Mio took a gamble and decided to sign the team on as a competing entry. With a single race deciding the entry for the 2054 season's newest open slot, Emoto-AG won handily; though they had to equip weapon systems to get the car league ready, which cut into their light weight nature, causing them to be weighed down and slower off the line than usual. Though this naturally did upset Mio, she decided to live with it if it was the only way to get her chance to see her technology be used in any application.

What came forth was a tidal wave of success in the league; Mio's vehicles were highly dominant in most events, to the point of teams requesting investigation to make sure they weren't cheating. They'd made friendly rivals with another pacifist team, Hanrai, due to their founders knowing each other, alongside Markza and Twin-Arrow's local nature allowing each of the members to become close to each other; this made them wildly popular with younger and older fans alike. Nowadays, Emoto-AG sits as one of the top teams in the league; one of the most difficult to dethrone once they're in the lead due to their electogravitic drives allowing for fast lateral movement and an incredibly high top speed. Though their acceleration is barely below par and their weapons and defense technology are lacking, "no need to be defensive when you can dodge and weave" was always Mio's mentality, so the lack of firepower didn't affect their performance one bit.

Agility and pride; pure power and refinement represents the bleeding edge nature of Emoto-AG's racecraft, and with the 2058 season right around the corner, Emoto and her company look to become champions once again.

## Super Modified Info

> *"A terrifyingly quick team on the bleeding edge of technology, the Korean founded Emoto-AG has incredible speed and reactive handling, though their acceleration isn't as strong as you'd expect and their combat abilities are lacking due to the majority of the energy being used for the Emoto Twin-Drive system installed on the car."*

 - Super Modified Game Guide

Emoto has 2 characteristically high stats for their vehicles that set them apart from the rest of the league: Incredible speed, and high agility. Being able to keep a lead should be easy, but getting there is the major issue. Though their acceleration is decent, their combat ability and defenses are subpar, barely beating out only one team with even poorer combat ability. As such, trying to get in front will be a challenge if you aren't careful. Weapon hits can disrupt your speed greatly, especially from teams with high damage weapons.

## Team Stats

### Strategy

* Stay out of major fights. Your shield isn't capable of taking a railcannon from any team with over 8 weapon power.
* Get in the lead as fast as possible, and KEEP that lead. They won't be able to catch you if you're fast enough, especially when you're as fast and agile as Emoto allows you to be.
* Dodge and weave through weapons if you can, kite them into other racers and slow them down so you can gain an advantage.

## 2058 Background

*A cutting edge research firm for the applications of antigravity technology, their research has allowed them to build a cult following in the league due to their extreme speed and friendly nature, avoiding conflict whenever possible, and winning races with a fair and clean drive through the track over weapons based aggression.*

*While their powerful AG Drives provide incredible speed and great stability when turning, their combat ability lacks and their acceleration isn't exactly up to par against some of the other teams on technical tracks.*

ok

so guys i think we're gonna win this season this time i swear

i know we've gotten 2nd place constantly but I think it'd be really funny if we just happened to make the acceleration punchier

yeah we did that.

i think we have a shot as long as we don't get it up the ass like last season

hopefully.

absolutely...

god i hope this works.

* Emoto-AG is the first team based around a character's personal lore, with Hanrai coming much later.
* ~~Emoto's color scheme takes after Goteki 45, though their principles are wildly different.~~
