OK I guess 100% custom is a bad way of putting it. Each is built from the frame of one of the construction exo's and then they build off of that.

Would you compromise to have a normal suit, and have a couple of those a small scout bots instead of weapons?

This sounds interesting- I really like the idea, and while you've got the engineer taken, I'd happily take the astronaut- the career sort of explorer, though that does overlap with Scout. Probably have a bulkier, yet more exploratory suit- suitable for the EVAs and harshest of climes, also packing a significantly better rebreather system and life support to kinda give it an edge in the farthest reaches. Though I don't know- what would you really like of that sort of character?

The Astronaut specifically is the pilot of the shuttle, so yeah think mobility, but you are a more well rounded character. You have a bit of everything, but as well you're main skill isn't very useful with the shuttle being a wreck, so... you also would have the most space based knowledge (navigation by stars, you have a solid knowledge of the mechanics of your ship, and so on.)

Pretty much- that's fine. I mean, it's hard to go for either that, or the scout- the guy going out to find out about the brave new world. Because that sounds a little bit too rounded, whereas a scout would perhaps be more confident in a crazy environment, an explorer of sorts.

The excitement is just too damn high :D I think I get the sort of approach taken, they are anthropodic in design, rather than a mech, it's just like an armored extension of the human body. A reinforcement, I guess- this is what I'll go with for my Scout character I reckon. It is a different shade to the one posted earlier, but I think it's more badass. I would agree that keeping it a little leaned back, as what was seen in the concepts is a good idea- after all, in survival, you'd think that the most practical design would prevail, and they all seem to share commonly the image of being things that would be left after a shuttle crashed on a planet, as the only protectors of anyone lucky enough to be inside. Plus since I assume there isn't any combat immediately, charting the new world they land on, as well as defending what little they have left, is going to play a big role.

Going to be a good RP, I feel. The atmosphere of this planet I assume would be breathable, based on your suggestion of it being Earth-like. So no need for O2 and the terrain looking like the surface of Mars, or anything.

Or if we needs more firepower then I'll do up a second charrie or just drop the Botany charrie suit.

Gardening with a chainsaw? I can dig it. You never know what crazy plant life we'll run into, man gardening is hardcore in the future.

You dig it. You bastard, I hope you acknowledge the pun :D

I mean, a botanist I guess would be responsible for charting all the weird and wonderful plants of a new world. So who knows what could be growing- trees that glow in the dark due to a luminecent compound, or crazy shit like that. Also, they'd be responsible for food in time- I mean, even if the exos can keep going, there's only so long our people inside will, so the local food sources will eventually come down to that.

Yeah but are we going to be able to survive on space passion fruit forever? This planet better have cows for space burgers. Notice that simply by adding the word space in front of it becomes exotic.

(Oh and you know I did. ;D)

They are kind of right that you EXO would not be combat focused. it'd have self defense gear and so on, but dont go making a gundam or anything.

I also updated the main post here to show some of the rules and character sheets so that you guys can see what I'll be looking for when i get the main one up.

Precisely- I agree with that. Practicality first, weaponry secondary to that.I'll be posting a CS shortly too.

Going back to an earlier post about the planet here are some details that are a bit more "up in the air".

Make sure to think ahead about exploring I have a general map of the planet made up, but if you start wandering off I may make up things good or bad for you to run into.

There are minerals, gases, and all sorts of inorganic resources on the planet if you would like to play a geologist/chemist I am opening that role!

Animals on the planet range from small game to goliaths to demigods of wrath and hell fire be careful when you choose your prey. don't just judge by size, but also remember some of the common rules of our own planet (especially the zoologist, but I'll give you your extra knowledge later)

Theres another thing I will be privately sending out information that only specific characters will know. you may share this information, but there will be key information only you understand.

finally one thing a lot of people forget to put in there EXOs is storage space. make sure you have containers to store: samples, game, tools, etc. of course you can carry around bigger things, but its best to not keep your hands full.

EDIT: oh and if you were looking for this

Did somebody say mecha? I'm there!

And I think you guys will be a little low on firepower, so I would probably play a marine for this one. I'm very, VERY well versed in all the glorious subtleties of mech based combat so I'd love to get stuck in. Will submit a chara sheet shortly, unless anyone has an objection?

Also, VERY excited.
