well i wasn't gonna change my cs. I was just gonna make another or something.

<Snipped quote>

It's justified though - he retired because his whole unit died around him, including the woman he loved. He was coaxed back into service, and then on his first field operation two of his people died. Then one more died, and another was critically wounded on the immediate op following that.

I think he has reason to believe he's bad luck.

Also, your character is approved!

Yay, thanks! :D

So just to be sure, at this point in the story everyone is back on the Claw after the mission?

I just noticed a lot of our heavy gears(and pilots) died, so theres been a radical shift to more strike and feint gears VS the rough and tumble brawler type

As I have said until my vocal cords are raw and bleeding, GEARs are modular machines, with swappable weapons and equipment. There aren't really 'heavy' or 'light' GEARs, or at least there weren't supposed to be when I envisaged the setting. Just GEARs that can have equipment, armour, and other systems attached as needed for different roles.
If people embrace the idea of being able to swap weapons between missions for the expected situation, like the setting says they can, then it won't be a problem.

Some missions you need long-range missiles? Fine, attach a box launcher to a shoulder hardpoint. Need jump-packs? Attach them to a back hard point for this mission. Need a sniper rifle? Leave your assault rifle in the hangar on this sortie. Close combat? Take a shotgun and two combat knives today. Have to breach some defences under fire? Bolt-on external armour, shaped charges and construction equipment. Going underwater? Hydro propulsion pack, underwater weapon systems, and bolt-on aquatic sensor suite.

That's how it's supposed to work; versatility and flexibility, not specialization.

So just to be sure, at this point in the story everyone is back on the Claw after the mission?

Yes, there has been a time-skip of a few hours to allow everyone to return to the ship. If wanted, people can fill in what they did in between as I would expect them to.

You character and the other new characters will be introduced as I stated previously in the OOC, a few posts down the line once we've left Martenstown behind, and have reached the new base. I'll include you in a PM with Aristo, Caliban and Jynx when I'm due to introduce them as you'll all be in the same place for the sake of convenience.

I eagerly await my introduction. ^_^

@Silverwind Blade This stuff is feeling like it's gonna be a lot more juicy than I anticipated. Should I go through with working medevac? Or should I just skip all that for the sake of the time skip?

You don't necessarily need to go into detail with it, just have Ken and/or Dane think about it in a reflection over the previous hours. Or don't mention it at all. It's up to you either way, you can account for where they've been and what they've been up to much in the same way I did in my post for Silver.

Which means that Machine is now going to be playing a series of Aidan impersonators of questionable authenticity and talent xD

EXCUSE me?

U WOT M8 >:V

Are you implying I only know to play one character only? Are you insinuating that I am not able to create original characters?! I'll show you all!

That was glorious.

No, I was making a joke about Elvis impersonators

@Silverwind Blade I totally got that the first time, but looking at your comment from another perspective brought me to that :P

does this mean we get a fat aiden? can we skip that one and get another blue suede one?

What about a gang of Aidens living in post-apocalyptic Las Vegas?

"The stumpys?"

It's a fallout reference. :P

Thar! A post! I am not necessarily sure if I hit the dot, but let me know if I missed!

As long as my joke didn't miss the target, or get taken the wrong way xD

By the way, your new character is totally perfect, and absolutely the exemplar of what characters in this RP should be xD

(but, if you want to make a new one, that would be super)

It almost makes me wistful for the best-worst character app we had on the previous forum. I can't remember if Cart was with us at that point or not, but I know Incubus was. I'm sure he remembers laser-space-wolf as well as I do.

It was totally fine, thanks for getting that one up :)

Lazer space wolf? Pity. I don't remember that...wish i could.

@Silverwind Blade I recall that RP. I was a foxy fighter pilot at the time XD

up

@HopelessIncubus

Guess everyone's getting six packs in memory of Aiden.
