@Holy Soldier

Hey, this looked interesting, so I drafted up a character sheet...

Sorry for being delayed I kind of fell asleep early yesterday, was busy and all that. Any post in a few minutes.

Gonna try to get a post up ASAP.

@ToadRopesI like it. Approved. Post her up. :)

After much argument with myself and some careful nitpicking on my part, though there are some final points I need answered by the goodly GM, here is my CS pre-edits.

After much argument with myself and some careful nitpicking on my part, though there are some final points I need answered by the goodly GM, here is my CS pre-edits.

The Guardian [+]

Character Name: James Varrock

Title: The Guardian

Kingdom: Bungie

Visual Description:

No helmet [+]

With Helmet [+]

Charger, The Ghost [+]

Written Description: The Guardian often has his helmet on, even when socializing in the Tower. However, underneath the helmet he has shoulder length sandy blonde hair with orange eyes and he has a light athletic build. His face is painted with a light white stripe pattern that may or may not be tattoos to show he enjoys time out in the wilds protecting the City in his own way. He’s accompanied by the Crimson Shelled Ghost known as Charger, who gets “charged”, or angry, every time James does something crazy.

Personality: The Guardian is the pinnacle of a hero, going out of his way to challenge and face down every threat to ever face the Last City of Earth. That said, he’s also a wise cracking smart ass with little care for official decorum if it keeps him from doing his job right. He’s also not a fan of more militaristic types, such as Commander Zavala.

Game: Destiny: Rise of Iron

Current Story: After defeating Aksis within the confines of his alter within territory of the Fallen House of Devils and their Splicers, he returned to doing regular patrols. Most recently he has participated in celebrating The Dawning during the reestablished month of December and competing within the Sparrow Racing League or SRL as it’s more commonly referred to.

Weapon(s): Ace of Spades- Hand Cannon with a number of customization options and a 12 round cylinder. Additional Info, including customizations.

Stillpiercer- Long range sniper rifle with a selection of customizations and a four round magazine. Additonal Info, including customization options.

Bretomart’s Stand-Machine Gun with a number of customizations, a 35 round drum magazine and a slow rate of fire. Additional Info, including customizations. Does Arc damage.

Slot One.
Slot Two.
Slot Three.

Strengths

1. High Agility: As a Hunter, James is quick moving and fast on the draw. He can clear distances quickly and jump higher than your average person thanks to his double jump.

2. Expert Marksmen: Whether he’s using his Hand Cannon, his Sniper Rifle, or his Heavy Machine Gun, if he wants to hit you in the head, the only thing saving you is movement and cover.

3. Survivalist: Hunters spend a lot of long term trips away from the Last City. As a result, they’re well versed in what plants and other things are safe to eat or touch and what ones aren’t.

4. Heightened Defenses: As a Guardian, there is a shield that surrounds their armor and increases the number of shots it takes before the Guardian feels an attack.

Weaknesses

1. Still only Human: Despite being a chosen of the Traveller and his extraordinary abilities as a wielder of the Traveller’s Light, once his shielding drops, he’s as susceptible as anyone else to a bullet, sword, or claw.

2. Disregard for Authority: Even though the Vanguard is run as a military unit, Hunters are known to disregard most of their finer points, and James is no exception. If an order seems to keep him from doing his job, he ignores it.

3. Limited Melee Options: All Guardians, while they have a way of dealing with enemies within melee range, prefer dealing with foes at range where they don’t have to worry as much about their shields depleting as quickly. James has more hand to hand training than most Guardians, but he stands no chance in a fight against a foe whose specialty is kicking ass up close and personal.

@Holy Soldier

I apologize for the double post, I was multitasking when I posted it and just realized I forgot a mention for you.

two exotics, you hacker xD but yeh, another bungie person

I would have preferred the Stillpiercer, but I couldn't find a decent picture for it.

EDIT: And of course, I search to see if the picture issue was fixed and it was. Edit made.

Sorry about the delay on my part friends. Throwing up a post now.

Achievements

Since you are RPing an OC in Destiny, those exotics aren't starting weapons even in Rise of Iron. Your character is using starter gear. I made additional comments on your CS in yellow.

Question, am I downgrading to common and uncommon gear or would legendaries all be OK?

Question, am I downgrading to common and uncommon gear or would legendaries all be OK?

@Holy Soldier I apologize for forgetting again. Usually I'm better about mentions than this. Clarification as to why I ask; you can't beat Aksis with less than legendary level gear within the game gameplay wise. If I need to be lower than that, I can do so with no complaint.

EDIT: Also, are you saying I can keep the Voidwall Grenade or that I need to change it as well? Cause I'm unsure of the meaning on that one.

@ZarkunI think Legendaries would be all right since you do jump to level 40 in the game and get legendary gear right off the bat. But yeah, you won't be jumping to level 40 in this game lol. You also need to state what class your character is. Is he Titan, Hunter, or Warlock? He's not going to be a hybrid of all three.

Couple things, I edited in a question, which I'll ask again here: are you saying I can keep the Voidwall Grenade or that I need to change it as well? Cause I'm unsure of the meaning on that one.

And I'll put he's a Nightstalker Hunter in the CS somewhere.

@ZarkunYou only get ONE General Ability at Level One. You need to either pick your grenades or pick your Ghost because a Ghost is considered a companion. You cannot have both at level one.

@Holy Soldier Alright, thank you for the clarification.

I've made the edits, but only Ace of Spades was an exotic. The sniper is a Legendary. That said, I THINK I got it all.

3. Survivalist: Hunters spend a lot of long term trips away from the Last City. As a result, they’re well versed in what plants and other things are safe to eat or touch and what ones aren’t.

4. Needs time to recharge: After his shielding drops, he needs to take cover and give it time to recharge before putting himself at extensive risk again.

@Holy Soldier Pardon me while I go beat the reminder to use the mention into my thick skull...

@ZarkunLooks good. Approved (you can post it up). And yes, please start using mention for everything you do. Otherwise, when the OOC starts flooding the place, your messages will get missed.

If you haven't sent me a CS yet or your name is not tagged in this message, then any character application or belated interest you are showing will have to wait. At this time, the game is about to enter it's first mission which will determine, by the end of it, what teams the characters currently in the game will be placed into. Any characters joining after the first mission will be automatically placed into Alpha Team. Those players who completed the first mission will also be awarded a second character slot if they so wish to use it. If you are planning on making a second character, then please let the GM know so that the GM can place your second character under reservations. Team Placement will be determined by teamwork and character performance. It will not be judged based on writing quality, although, clear and creative posts are always appreciated.

I won't be revealing the mission until my next GM post. It'll be a surprise, but I want to explain the run-down here. Because we have 17 characters, I did at first contemplate making two separate missions but being as I am the only GM that's not going to happen. So what I decided to do was to break the teams up into 3.

There will be a team of 6/6/5. There will be team leaders randomly assigned except for the senior-level player. In this case, I'll outright say it, Edward Buck is going to automatically be a squad leader.

Squad Leader: (this definition is just for this game and is not to be confused for the IRL responsibilities of a squad leader in the actual military) The Squad Leader is the overall leader in charge. All TEAM LEADERS will report character health status, conditions, etc. to him/her (In this case we know it is a him). The Squad Leader can then choose to swap characters in and out of certain teams and sorry, but if the Squad Leader pulls your character out, then he/she is out. If one team is weak due to injury or power imbalance, then he can swap that character out to put a healthier character or even up the team powers. The injured character can then properly receive care without being pinned down in combat. The Squad Leader manages the field, but do not forget if he screws up, then he can just as easily lose command and the command will be handed off to the next random character/or senior-level character if we had one. The Squad Leader will determine what teams take what positions, what paths, what areas, etc. So all characters who aren't the squad leader need to listen to the character that is the squad leader regardless of competency. This is the point of it being a game.

Team Leader: (this definition is just for this game and is not to be confused for the IRL responsibilities of a squad leader in the actual military) The Team Leaders' responsibilities are to not only keep track of characters' health and ammo/mana levels, but to keep communication with the Squad Leader. The Team Leader is the only one who reports to the Squad Leader. The reason being is to prevent confusion. We have 17 characters in this game and the Squad Leader, I'm sure, would rather hear the reports of two other people versus 17. So your character needs to send all their problems to their Team Leader. The Team Leaders also command the team to execute certain strategies. Your characters even when not the team leader can always contribute advice to the team leader, but it is up to the team leader whether those tasks will be executed or not.

Items: The Squad Leader and the Team Leaders will receive the first items issued by the GM in the game. They only get a limited amount of items so it is up to them to use the items wisely because once they're gone, they're gone.

Everyone is going to be sent to the same Game Verse, but there will be a series of tasks that each team will have to perform in order to finish the mission. This WILL require the teams to spread out and separate to execute these tasks. The GM will not tell you what those tasks are. Instead, as you read through the GM posts and study the character dialog and interactions, as well as see how the world is set up, then you can figure out how the mission will go. There are 17 players in this game. Someone is going to figure it out unless you all are special. lol

But teams will be revealed and the first mission will be revealed in the brief. If you read this, then I want this post to receive "Likes." It is very important that I know you read it because I'm going to know if you didn't. You're going to be "that guy" who is like, "What's going on? Why is this happening? Wah!" and then start blowing up the Squad Leaders communication line instead of going through the Team Leader, and I am going to give Zero Fs. I hope the Squad Leader pulls your imbecile out.
