@DracoLunaris And we aren't going that extreme lol we're professionals here not savages! (Although maybe some creatures have very durable scales, plates, etc)
Personality: A mysterious lone wolf. Nova hunts with utter discretion, disliking the Rambo style some partake in. That's the quickest way to getting yourself killed. His pin-point planning must be executed to the letter before he can call a mission a success. However, when not, he's cool, calm and composed. Nova is meticulous, precise, and of little words. He's not up for much talking outside of planning for a job, and is almost dead silent on the job. However, when it comes to combat he's up close and personal, using his sword and collapsible SMG's do the talking as he twists through the air and use the environment to his advantage.
History: Nova's incredibly quiet about his past. Any reports on him are covered in black ink. The only bit that he reveals is that he's ex-military. You'd be hard pressed to find out any more information. What's makes it even harder is that Nova is never seen without his suit and helmet on, and he even goes as far as to use a voice distorter to hide his identity. However, his combat style and incredible skills in stealth makes it very telling that he was some sort of assassin in his past, and the way he carries out his work now reflects this.
Weapons/Supplies:
The All-Purpose Katana, designed by military specialist company "UniTech", is a high frequency blade that is light, durable, and incredibly sharp. Not only that, it can vibrate at a frequency and intensity that it is able to cut through surfaces by breaking down it's molecular structure. In the hands of a skilled swordsman, it is the perfect weapon of infiltration and assassination. Flesh and steel is cut down easily, however it's not able to cut through everything. Incredibly thick amounts of muscle or metal-like armour won't be cleaved straight through cleanly.
Another UniTech creation, the Biters possess a high rate of fire with armour piercing bullets, each clip able to hold 60 rounds. Depending on how they're used, they can be used to sweep through a crowd of hostiles or pepper a specific point. Nova duel wields them, and collapses them when not in use or if he only wants to use one. However, if Nova's not careful then he'll run out of bullets very quickly due to how it eats bullets like a wood chipper mows down a 2x4. The Biters also come with flip-up transparent red dot sights, using a rimless plexi-glass like material to be as unobtrusive as possible.
A weapon similar to a throwing knife, the Jackpot Darts can be switched between different modes before being primed and thrown:
HE Dart- Heavy Explosion dart, same radius as a grenade
Sleep Dart- Usually fired into the ground, it emits a cloud of gas that causes all targets within the radius to become unconscious. Particularly intelligent, focused or damn right big enough creatures can surpass this though.
Tracker Dart- Emits a frequency that can be picked up by Nova's HUD that tracks whatever creature it's been fired into unless removed or damaged.
Shock Dart- Releases a medium intensity wave of electricity, much used like a taser. Again, if a creature is dangerous or strong enough, they can surpass this.
Spreadshot Dart- Once thrown, it releases a spray of needles in a circular, fanning motion.
His harness allows him to hold ten.
Comes equipped with a HUD, adrenaline nano shots and retractable wire launchers on either side of his hip, Nova's suit is the top line in speed, agility and stealth. Equipped with noise compressors to mask his movements, he can sneak about without receiving much detection unless one is particularly perceptive. He also has grav-boots that allow him to run across any surface, and while he already receives a speed and agility boost, if need be the nano shot will increase the boost three times over for a limited time. However, he can overdose on these as it's a metric shit-ton of drugs being pumped directly into his veins when used. The wire launchers help him traverse great distances and swing around. Especially useful in jungle environments. However, his suit isn't designed for open environments such as plains or fields.
not going all Fashion Hunters (a la the monster hunter game series) and playing dress up with the hides our kills? What is event the point of killing them then? /s
@DracoLunaris Legal profit, scientific research, exterminating dangerous vermin/mega-fauna, or just for sport (non-endangered animals only). They at the same time don't kill extensively and do take out illegal poachers. The experience of the hunt comes from the journey.
@LmpkioThanks, kinda what I was going for, and the blade idea is direcly stolen from Raiden ngl xD. I thought this would be in a similar time period lol. Tried to add in some weaknesses like how Nova's going to be not too great on CT-136. Also, how fast is Nova allowed to be, factoring in the nano-boost too? Just asking cuz I saw the Sand-Runners (which look awesome, like all the creatures!) and don't know how you want to go about it.
Just gonna ask the question. Can a character have a different animal as a weapon? Like a hunting dog of sorts. Like the big glaive in monster hunter. I'm just curious.
So I am working on my guy and his alien friend. I was thinking a bug of some kind since they are more adaptable. Some sort of giant spider perhaps. Obviously I will compensate with his weapon and gear not being so strong. I hate being OP.
@Lmpkio My idea was my guy thinks that the spider is like a dog. Kind of a running joke with my guy. Like "Oh look at how cute she is! Fetching the prey like a good girl! Who's daddy's best spider! You are! You are!"
Also one more question: Are humans born outside the Sol System? Like could my guy be born on some far away human colony?
Okay maybe not the spider but a bug. They are adaptable and it would fit the theme of going to different planets. My original plan was for robotic animal friend but this sounded more interesting.
