ALso if a helicopter doesn't work... Mech.

Instead of stalking this thread like I've been doing, I'm going to go ahead and throw my interest in if it isn't too late, or full.

......."Full"?

IF you want I'm quite good with coming up with Sci-Fi ish tech with explanations behind their workings as well if you want a hand with that. Been doing so with my own RP.

Then you are VERY welcome.
also, in regards to mechs, I'm for them as much as any other tech, but I'd like to advise restraint.
Though this is a future of fantastic technology, it's also a time where resources are scant. Mechs like an advanced version of the loader from 'Aliens' or blatant rip-offs of the stuff from Lost Planet 2 would be interesting, but not nuclear powered behemoths covered in missiles like Pacific Rim or Gundam :P.

I was meaning more like walker style stuff, akin to AT-TES or AT-ATS from star wars. More like walking tanks to "SUPER WEAPONS OF DESTRUCTION AND ROBOT BADASSERY"

My vamp char could be part of the group's muscle, possibly surveillance as well. Also, these vampyres are killed by sunlight, right? I'm fine either way.

More subterranean mutants, so blind in sunlight and easily burned by short term exposure and extensively harmed by long term.

You're thinking kinda like this?

Kinda will explain more once home.

I just noticed you had quite a bit of interest in this idea so I wasn't sure how you felt about more people joining.

how I feel about it? Thrilled.
My first time trying something like this, so I'm pretty happy that it's getting so much activity.

Presently there's between 5 and 10 people on board for this so I figure all that needs to happen now is for people to ask the appropriate questions and start writing up characters.

that's how this all works, right?

What questions would those be? I'm pretty set with what I need to know and could write my char up whenever.

I am still at work for a bit but if you want help creating tech that will fit... start a pm thread with me :P

By the way, I think this has gotten enough interest to become an OOC thread.

I am incredibly interested in this. I'm happy to throw ideas around too.

For the Wilde were you looking for truly evil? You could have weird creatures with human faces and extra appendages. Twisted things, driven mad with the pain of their deformity. Some cunning, some raving, destructive animals. No two would have to look alike, which leaves more room for imagination, and makes it so the enemy could have unknown abilities.

Also, the front page something about magic. Will that still be involved, or is this going to be mainly tech-y?

I think a balance of tech/magic trying to co-exist is always a fun thing to play with.

@Sep

So do I, which is why I would like to throw a mage type character into the delicious stew you all have brewing.

@grimthinkingThat looks awesome, and helps also to give an idea of where we are tech level wise. Would something like The Edge of Tomorrow or Ghost Recon:Advanced Warfighter be close to what in the world?

The inevitable question... OOC?

VERY good questions, sorry about the late reply.

As far as 'evil' goes, i'm not a fan. I don't believe in concepts like 'good' and 'evil' rigidly. I've always seen it as differing viewpoints on what is right and what is wrong. I've enver heard of anyone waking up in the morning and saying "How shall I be EEEEVIL today?"
at least not outside of bad Saturday morning cartoons.

So no, the Wilde aren't "evil", but they are Ravenous, savage and monstrous to behold.
what you said about "weird creatures with human faces and extra appendages. Twisted things, driven mad with the pain of their deformity. Some cunning, some raving, destructive animals. No two would have to look alike" is absolutely perfect and EXACTLY the kind of thing I was looking for. :)
Their whole deal is that they only seem to have ONE authoritative individual across the entirety of the species, an elusive creature called the Alpha lord, never seen. There's ALSO the major factor of how they came to exist.... but that would be telling.

And Magic is something I want to make tricky and dangerous, so much so that only the truly gifted or the truly insane can successfully utilize it. And it wouldn't be stuff like a fireball from the tip of a wand, but spells that make the blood of an enemy boil in their veins, that oxidizes their bones and bends their sanity over a table before doing something unfortunate to it.

So yes, Magic IS something that's in play, but in this world you'd need to be crazy to try it.

The inevitable question... OOC?

Yes, I'm being told that's a nessecity..... exactly how do I do that?

Head off to the main forum (not interest check one) for casual, start a new thread, and fill in info from there. A CS would help :)
