Continuum (OOC)

[Meeky]

This looks... Well, very promising. I just poked a head at the first post here, and at the IC thread, and a few questions have come to mind.

You say that we can hop in and out as we please due to time travel, right? So, it's alright if we have a week or two where we don't post, so long as we finish whatever "story arc" our characters are in, right?

Are all player characters lab-born Sentinels? Are there any "ordinary" humans that aren't lab-born that have been made part of the Continuum (such as extremely skilled inventors/hackers of their era, say)? Are those playable?

What happens is a Sentinel is less skilled than one of the pupils that are being taught? Do they become a Reserve?

Also, what sort of evolutions/enhancements can a Sentinel have? I noticed, in the in-character thread, that the opening character (Omnicron) has the ability to have chameleon-like metallic skin. What range of things are possible, and how many can be had at once?

Working on a post. Also thinking that flu has caught up to me. May be slow in terms of productivity.

I don´t know why but that sort of sounded like Mordin Solus.

Read post #23 for most of the powers available.

Non-Sentinels are not allowed to join the Continuum.

Sentinels who are less skilled than their predecessors are killed. Sentinels who are as skilled as their predecessor are time locked for later use. Most Sentinels have around 2-3 Reserves ready whenever the time comes. We are actually low on Reserves at the moment, since a lot were killed during the Battle of Laurasia.

Edit: There are special...circumstances where it is required that a Sentinel, and their successors work together. The Battle of Laurasia was one of those moments, and it was a complete and utter failure. I'm actually thinking of changing the Erasure Squad from Elderitch abominations, to more of a "Special Forces" unit that is activated when there are no other options. Sort of like the Erasure Squads in Eclipse Phase.

I actually think that having the Erasures as shapeless interdimensional monsters is pretty cool. It gives them a sprt of authority as the one thing Sentinels are completely afraid or cautious of.

Also, do Sentinels always just mind-wipe Inventors, Travelers or Runners?

[Nigawatts]

Unless the situation requires something else, usually.

Take my intro post. It would have taken Omicron forever to mind wipe all those people in that temple, and thats under the impression that he'd be able to do it at all. So he simply murdered all the monks and burnt it to the ground.

You gotta be flexible when the timestream is in peril.

[Architect]

Righto! Thanks.

Hm. I may make a (former) Reserve character, I think, one of the Sentinels that's just generally not as good in a lot of areas as the others (thus why they became a Reserve), but is extremely skilled in something. If I use the character, it'll be the sort I only jump into the roleplay with from time to time (for a whole 'arc' or so at a time) as I don't know how much time I can dedicate to this.

Shooould have something up by the weekend. My brain is refusing to form ideas like a normal, working brain should.
