You'll know what this is about after reading the opening post.

Samurai Sword
Samurai Dagger
Samurai Bow
Samurai Armor

Updated the first ic post.

@Burning Kitty does the clan ship have a name that's different from its class name or our clan name? I'm just going to call it the Glorious Heritage for now and change it later if need be.

Clan Ship name is the Clan Name.

As it says in Ekloria's sheet:

For completing the quest, Ekloria was awarded a Glorious Heritage Class ship called the Specters of Apocalypse.

Founded Specters of Apocalypse Clan.

My next post will reference Specters that nobody here is playing as. They are Red Shirts.

In typing up my post I realized my character doesn't have her Omni-tool so she can't do what I was planning to do. So I'll post it here, consider it a deleted scene.

Then went further in using her Pipboy's flashlight feature to light the way. She checked on her Omni-tool the status for the rest of the Specters.

Ekloria: NOMINAL
Artorigus: NOMINAL
Kaptaan: NOMINAL
Barquin: ErRoR!ErRoR!
ConnRose: ErRoR!ErRoR!
LandBuffySlayer: ErRoR!ErRoR!
PhobicRay: ErRoR!ErRoR!
Woodpoint: ErRoR!ErRoR!

The reason for the ErRoR!ErRoR! will be made clear deeper in the cave.

@Burning Kitty
I have interest in participating if you'll take me, but I also have a bunch of questions before getting into things like character writing:

Based on the information on the Artifacts spreadsheet it looks like you're using the word Artifact as just a different way of referring to derivative gear from another series and not in the Ready-Player-One sense where artifacts are unique items with no replications. Is this true?

Is this using the Ready-Player-One sectioning system in any way? Will at any point a character's Sci-Fi gear be nullified by entering a Fantasy zone or a character's spells be nullified by entering a Sci-Fi zone? Stuff like that?

The context of the contest seems interesting, but the roleplay seems to have initiated with Specters Of The Apocalypse already established. Would a non-clanned character being introduced by myself throw things too far out of whack or would that be valid? This seems largely to be a character driven roleplay and introducing a not-entirely-hostile character into the competition setting might get some good content.

I can answer this one at least. We are using 'artefacts' as a catch-all term for items of all rarities; I raised the same query as you when this was in the planning stages.

I have not read the book. I am going based on what was presented in the movie. In the movie artifacts are not really explained in a lot of detail. In the movie during the final battle there were multiple people wearing the MJOLNIR armor from Halo, that could have been ordinary gear like buying clothes at Walmart or they could have been an Artifact. I went with Artifact. The current equipment the Specters and the rest of the contestants are wearing/using are not Artifacts.

Some places the default setting would be yes. The contest takes place on a planet where everything goes but the default setting is overruled by the rules of the contest.

The Specters have been around at minimum six months.

While pretty much everything is a competition, due to the current situation it's in everyone's best interests to work together. Humanity being humanity they won't all work together. If your character is not clanned, that's cool but if he gets into trouble he won't have anyone he can call upon to get him out of it. Your avatar could pay people for their help or he could depend on the kindness of strangers.

This particular contest is a one off thing that won't see a conclusion, because the sponsor is SPOILERS.

@Burning Kitty

Excellent. I'll get to work.

Since it seems @DC The Dragon@DJAtomika@The1Rolling1Boy are no longer interested if @King Cosmos@MissCapnCrunch@AnneLynch@Parzivol you want you can create a second character.

I've been working on one on and off.

@Burning Kitty @King Cosmos @MissCapnCrunch and everyone

HEYO!!!!

I am back from my week vacation!!! I hope I haven't missed anything important.

What's been going on since I've been gone?

I'll have plenty of time today to read what everyone has posted in the IC. I'll be taking my time, however, since I'm still unpacking, etc.

@AnneLynch Once the Specters leave the cave my char will recruit your character.

@Burning Kitty

Aye aye.

Keep me updated on what I should be planning for.

Literally just finished watching Ready Player One and found the interest check, hope its alright for me to join. Also please ignore the CS formatting and picture for now, i'll make it fancy if I get the OK on the character

@CaptainSully I briefly glanced through your artifacts, for the moment I am going to rule on two of them.

Jason Voorhees is rejected. All companions must be an animal, it can be mechanical, organic, or a cyborg. Think of it like the dog from Fallout it doesn't count as a companion when you are trying to do use the Lone Wanderer perk.

The Omni-Shield is approved, because it is nothing more than one particular function of the Omni-Tool which my character already has. You don't have to limit it to just the Shield.

Once I have more time to go over it better I will post again and let you know.

@Burning Kitty Only reason I put Jason was cause you put Predator so thought it’d be fine, no matter though I can switch it out

Could it be Godzilla? I’ll assume you say no and if it’s ok could I choose The Moorwen?

You mean this? That is the Predator.

Godzilla may eventually be involved but not as anyone's companion. As for the Moorwen answer is the same as the rest of your artifacts, check on it later.
