Turn into a gun so one of the heavy artillery mechs in our line up can use another gun for when their gun isn't big enough. It's like, "Yo Dawg, I heard you like guns, so I made you a werk that turns into a gun so your werk can use a werk that is a gun, while it uses a gun."
I have a few different character ideas that I have been playing with. But a support role seems to be the most needed of the ideas I have been working with. So I will work to flush out those ideas. I actually already have most of the idea worked out for the shield generator that I mentioned, but I can, if I have enough xp for a second system build the nano-machine healz into the other idea too... ponders ponders... Well, lets roll a sync/xp for a 20 year old and see how we do, if you don't mind.
Name: Maria Fullbright, AKA Princess
Gender: Female Age: 20 Experience: Synchronization Rate: Personality: Maria is confident, though untested. Often views herself as better than those around her, but committed to the cause and follows orders with little concern for much more than the safety of her home planet, and those of the people that she is partnered with. Background: Maria Fullbright is a princess, and will make sure you know it. Her planet is located well within human territories and so far is safe from any immediate threat of Cruxi attack, however, she and the rest of her Royal family believe that the best way to protect the planet is to get involved in the problem early. Three of the five siblings have served or are currently serving. Her oldest brother did not join the cause, as to be able to stay safe and claim the throne when it is time, and the youngest sister who has not yet had a chance to serve. The oldest sibling to serve was her sister Anna, who died in combat shortly after taking the field in her first mission. Then there is Maria, and lastly is the younger brother Vincent who is currently in officers academy and has strong prospects of commanding a strike vessel. Maria has such a 'Princess' attitude about everything that the man who designed her werk, Hajima Tetsudo, named it after her in his families native tongue, "Ojo" meaning princess. Notable Deaths: Her older Sister Anna, KIA. Other things: Maria comes from a wealthy, technologically advanced planet, whose royal family has made considerable donations to the war effort in financial aid, technology development, and raw materials. Her home planet is called Praxis V, and is often used as an example of what being a good universal citizen should aspire to do. Maria is even used as a poster child and appears in several propaganda films asking for others to follow her Father's lead. As such, most everybody who isn't from a deep space rock will recognize her. She resents any implication that she is only where she is because of pandering to her family and will routinly volunteer to support some of the riskiest missions because of it.
Framewerk Code Name: Ojo
Number of Framewerk Systems: Signature Weapon System:
The GDA is an experimental propulsion and defense system, using extremely powerful magnets harvested from superdense star systems. The GDA was originally designed for deep space exploration where fuel sources maybe non-existent. By aligning the magnets with bodies with greater mass (stars primarily) in the direction that Ojo is set to travel in, the GDA is then able to push and pull the werk in that direction simultaneously. Similarly, the GDA is capable of pushing projectiles off of their course and away from Ojo or other targets, keeping them Safe - Given enough time the pilot can redirect attacks to specified directions to avoid redirecting the attack into an ally, or even forcing the projectile to strike an enemy target. With its intended purpose for deep space travel, the longer Ojo travels in one direction, the faster the werk will travel, but this will almost never come into play in a real combat situation.
Secondary Weapon System:
Ojo can launch a device that will attach to a werk that releases a set of three orbital deflectors. These deflectors will orbit around the werk their controller is attached to and intercepts incoming attacks. Due to the nature of these deflectors, they are fairly ineffective against melee attacks and explosives, however, most physical and energy attacks will either be destroyed or deflected away from the target. Once the last of the three orbiters is destroyed the controller unit will detach. If the attached unit does not have a friendly RF code broadcasting, the orbiters will not activate.
Weight Class: Light Special Ability: Unknown
Other concepts that I have been playing with, for inquiring minds (i.e. feel free to use them or be inspired by them): - A werk that requires two pilots to effectively operate it, and using twins for best results (twins have best syncs, duh... until they hit their teens, then things get shaky...) - A long-range healer, as previously mentioned, something inspired heavily on by the functionality of Ana from Overwatch. - A MechaDragon, because why not, those are sooooo cooooooooooool... Ahem, anyways. That's as far as I got on this idea.
As if Maria/Mai didn't feel like crap as is. NOW she has to deal with this on top of her anger issues.
Also everyone...I should have said something about this earlier but after monday, I'm goind to be away. While I'll still have internet on my phone, trying to make a post on it may prove difficult assuming I have the time. I'll be back saturday but I'll still be keeping watch on this.
And for right now...I don't think Maria/Mai would be too pleased with trying to bring that Cruxi back. I also had an idea that maybe her mom lost her life BECAUSE she was trying to protect a Cruxi B.O.W. Hence why she saw that duel with her and the Cruxi.
Either way, she'd feel the same as Elora just minus the whole "Son" thing.
@DarkRecon we don't know anything about the kill the son, thing. Katya was the only one who heard it until she tells us about it, if she chooses to tell us about it.
Usually I'd like you guys to request the rolls before making the character, but I suppose it's fine with a bit of a rework on the backstory. I like the design of the character and plugsuit, very different yet similar, so very fitting for one from a culturally foreign planet. Was wondering when the princess pilot would show up, haha. Please change her name to something else, like Sofia, Elsa, or switch her and Anna; I don't want to confuse her and the other Maria's names.
Ojo is a cool idea for a support; GDA is fine as a Primary. I would like a description of the attaching device for the secondary; is it a drone, an orbiting miniature satellite, or simply a glowing orb? Otherwise a good Secondary, with a clear use for defending an ally yet with reasonable limits to it.
@Ariamis Yeah, sorry about that, I figured that I could make the character with the base number of systems, one of each, and if in the event I rolled high enough for a second secondary, then I would edit accordingly. Which I did, so I will need to get your approval on another secondary as well, which will be more of a secondary function of the GDA.
After allowing for a time to charge (how many turns, three?) the GDA is capable of emitting what is simply described as a gravity bomb. This bomb does little to no direct damage, but it draws everything in a radius (per your decision) towards it. It is primarily used to break up a defensive line, or to bring multiple aggressors together into one area, making area bombardment more efficient. The effect only lasts a short period of time (one turn, two turns?) before the intense gravity well dissipates and returns to normal. Due to the nature of this attack, it should be used with extreme caution due to the high risk of friendly fire and collateral damage.
Ok, I will change her name to Elizabeth, or El for short. As for the Orbital Defenders, that is an excellent question. I guess ultimately the whole thing is a collection of drones? The primary drone, the control unit, is a carrier for the three smaller drones who orbit the primary drone at a set distance. They emit a light in order to make it obvious that they are active. If that is acceptable, then I will edit it into the description.
Edit: After thinking about it, that might be too powerful for a secondary. If you agree then I have another option. More or less an EMP railgun. Long range, single unit effective, launches an EMP device that incapacitates whatever machine it hits. Haven't come up with a fancy name or picture for it yet.
Edit 2: It would look be called the Hoshizora (Star Daze), and it would look like this:
... not that name and image matter for approval.
Also, yes, I realize that there is a star in nearly everything I touch around here. Sorry, not sorry... about that.
Hi all. Posting this through my iPhone so sorry if I sound like a broken Macintosh pc.
So when I come back tomorrow, was thinking about what to do. Maria would think the POW will still try something but due to her feelings, would want to help Serah with her case if possible. Smart as he is, Jake could get evidence like the sync rates drop during that ambush.
@DarkRecon I don't know that a culling is public knowledge, and if it was to be used in court as a defense then there is a chance that the entire experimental werk program is shut down and all of our werks are destroyed and us children are sent back to whatever broken planet is home, while those characters old enough are conscripted and thrown into a majorly underpowered mass produced unit. I think the best angle of defense is a character defense combined with an, "under the influence of a cruxi psy attack." Elora was a PoW forced to attack, serah maybe wasn't a pow, but was similarly forced to attack her allies.
Dunno, but let's not get ahead of ourselves. If it wasn't for me reminding Ariamis that it'd be really weird for Elora to be as locked up as she was but Serah getting off scot free despite them technically having committed the same war crimes, Serah would still have been roaming around free as a bird.
