So the premise is like this. About 400 years in the future, humanity got into a war with a race of hostile aliens hell-bent on annihilating humans and claiming Earth for themselves. The humans were able to hold on through technology and ingenuity but knew that they had neither the resources nor power to win. As humanity is pushed back to their own solar system, they devised multiple plans to ensure the survival of the human race.
One of these plans involve the creation of 'guardian forms', essentially a biomechanical suit of titanic size, capable of living in complete vacuum and punching alien ships, essentially winning the war on its own. Basically, Eva suits in space, but connected to the pilot through mind-machine interface and due to the emphasis on function, don't look human at all. In order to use the biomechanical suits, the pilots temporarily connect their minds to the suits.
These guardians have multiple abilities such as making people go insane, changing the law of physics in a localized area and eating the souls of creatures. But they all share nigh invulnerability to most mundane weapons. The guardian forms managed to win the war, but due to the experimental nature of the suits, their pilots simply forgot who they were and thought that they were the inhuman creatures they were piloting. The only caveat is that the suits are hardcoded to be unable to harm humans or through inaction, cause harm to humans.
A million years later and humanity is all but extinct and considered 'the ancients', the younger races scoured the former colonies of mankind in search of advanced human technologies. In one of the 'core world' of humanity, they accidentally awakened one of these guardian forms and fought it. They eventually managed to wound it, but the guardian let out a psychic emanation that awakened every guardian in range. Unfortunately, many of these worlds where a guardian appeared were colonized by these younger races.
So now here is what Ai-chan wants your help with:
If you were one of these pilots, what kind of eldritch horror would you become? How would you describe your appearance?
Here is an example of an eldritch horror.
