@RumikoOhara keep in mind that Kik's nanotech is still growing--she might be powerful now, but she's got a lot of her life left at this point. with more implants and time, she could grow stronger--and she should. rp is about development, so... I just wanted to make sure you're prepared to work at developing your character's weak and strong points :)


Oh understand, I could see Kiki making all the governments nervous because of the secrets she may eventually reveal and unlike computers she's able to evolve into a more complex machine each year. I also see part of her growth in software as well as she develops or those that work on or with her develop better programs and languages.

Then there is her antenna which is her nervous system becoming stronger, more sensitive and eventually making her able to connect to computers anywhere on earth; presently I see her max range at 5 kilometers for common computers and maybe 100 meters for standard military systems and touch only for the best hardened and shielded systems.

Her Taser ability is in its infancy and touch only and may always be as far as biologicals are concerned but it may become an EMP projector able to crash systems all around her when she gets older

I love projecting ahead

@RumikoOhara alright. so if she can potentially get stronger, it might be wise to not push the limits of what she can do right now.

accepted tho. go ahead and post in the character tab haha

I uh, I've narrowed my image down to a final three XD
Lol sorry, I'll get a move on.

How long have the 'mechanics' been working with these kids?

@Dark Light lol it's fine.

depends. most mechanics (unless your character lives in the village with the birthed) haven't met their partner yet--they've been recruited by the government and are currently waiting for their first assignment. Or something along those lines, anyway.

I'd be interested in playing as a mechanic as well, but what role do they take in combat?

Are they just there to support the Birthed, getting them into position and activating their powers before standing back and enjoying the fireworks, or do they have combat skills and specialty weapons of their own to help out with in a fight?

Depending on your reply, I have three concepts for characters:
  • Sylvia 'Silver' Monroe - A calm and calculating young woman who always keeps her head in battle, armed with a broad-range scnanning device to help diagnose faults in damaged units, along with a light pistol for self defence when needed.
  • Beatrix 'Trixie' Tanner - Battlefield tech expert, trained to locate and acquire interesting machines and devices for later study and repurposing. In her spare time she builds small mechanical robots to help out with minor tasks.
  • Justine Soong - Heavy gear specialist, Justine brings the power to bear when constructing or deconstructing heavy emplacements. Equipped with her servo-gauntlets she can match the strength of most small mecha she faces, but prefers to leave the fighting to the Birthed.

@Genni it depends on the person. some mechanics would rather stay out of the line of attack, while others could get more hands-on and fight alongside their partner. I like all three of your characters... I don't have a preference really. the one who builds robots could be cool, though. I was planning on making a support-role mechanic myself, so...

Here's my first draft CS for Trixie. Please let me know if anything needs to be changed.

@Genni nice! may I ask what her relationship with the Birthed is? is she close with them? does she only know the basics of the project and never really interacted with them? I just want to know if she's familiar with some/all prior to military recruitment.

@OliveYou She loves the Birthed! Or more accurately, their tech, and takes every opportunity she can get to study and analyse them as she would any other piecfe of equipment.

Having said that, she still sees them as people too, and isn't above playing pranks on them any more than she does with anyone else she thinks she can get away with pulling them on.

I could see Kiki liking her

Kiki being Constantly in touch with tech in her local area if it is electronic in any way

I deliberately made Trixie more skilled at working with mechanical systems, since Kiki already has the electronic ones down. Together they'd be able to strip automated defence off an installation in seconds. :D

Interesting, I'm now seeing Kiki being surrounded by a swarm of drones just by Trixie's introduction to the rp

Mostly stealth drones for recon maybe 1 or 2 attack because those would be bulky and harder to miss

If Trixie wants a Hover Bike she'll need custom programs and Kiki can write the simple ones in a few minutes and the more complex in a day or two even giving them special encrypted code security.

Nice idea. The only thing to worry about is that since Trixie's helpers are home built from whatever scrap she can lay her hands on there's a fifty-fifty chance they'll end up not working, or that they'll do something completely different to what she origianlly planned for them.

~coffee making bot starts singing show tunes offkey~
Okay, make that sixty-forty.

The big problem for the bike is the power source. For some reason the bosses don't want to let Trixie start playing with fissionable materials so she can build a limitless, self-sustaining atomic reactor core even if it means she wouldn't have to worry about finding a petrol station in a pinch.

If we're getting another mechanical expert with scanning technology and enhanced strength that kinda rules out all three of my possible characters. He's also the son of Village scientists which matches Trixie's background too.

Perhaps I should switch out to play as a medical specialist, such as a field medic who can help patch up the team if they get injured? She would have come from outside the Village, a survivor who had been rescued from an enemy attack after having been part of a small group of wandering refugees and had learnt her medical knowledge through trial and error field experience under the guidance of an old mentor.

Well to be fair we're all supposed to be an internally controlled group and most of the characters were born in the village to scientists. Hell even I assumed that my character had parents with some importance to the program but I just didn't think I had to elaborate on it since it was already part of the narrative.

I do agree though having too many people with the same abilities would make things a little stale, but on the other hand there are only a hand full of things we can do as birthed that don't require augmentation and tech can be replicated so I'm sure that some player might have some overlap. A medical expert would definitely be a very unique thing to bring into the table but I wouldn't let similarities dissuade you from playing what you wanna play. But weren't you also a hacker to some extent?

@Dark Light very interesting! but as Spirit said, we already have a birthed who can control/hack quite extensively--are you fine with that, or would you like to tweak your abilities a little? do you know what role you want your character to play in battle situations?

it's super cool tho, you can definitely work with some of the other players to see if one of them would like to play as the cousin.

@Genni I like your character tbh, she concentrates on the mechanical side of things and I don't think that overlaps too much with anyone else. true, there's only so many abilities we can use before it becomes boring, but I thought the robot-making scrapyard feel was cool. but it's your choice, of course.
