Exactly one of the things i'm going to get working on. It's empty isn't it? I want the old formatting back, but i know God Mahz in all his holiness is working on an even better system.

So many IC posts, and here I was worrying that it would stall.

I love me some work break reading material. XD

Great posts guys! I've posted a little one so it looks like we are actually in the casual section.

lol sorry I just realized how long mine was. I applaud anyone that managed to get through all of that haha.

I am very sorry, but the delay of the IC has stripped me of my freetime and now that the IC is open I have none to spare. I won't be able to commit myself to the IC or even RP at all, or atleast not something of this magnitude.

NooOooO Sauron!!!! Hopefully we'll see your return in the future bud... I'm not quite sure how to go about Gideon Hyde now... I wouldn't want to take any liberties with the Knight's Cross without its creator on board.

I'll try and get a small news post in but I won't be able to get any character posts up until next tues/weds. I've got a hectic work week + its finals next week. Until then, I'll be lurking about and reading everyone's excellent posts in the meantime.

Workin on a post now, might take a bit though, trying to find some way to worm my way into interacting with some other PC.

Currently typing up my first IC for this RP! :)

Ech, I'm not pleased with my intro. Hopefully, the next post's better.

Full Name: Grak Kla’chyu Ruo
Age: 15
Race: Chirix (Tindrel Collective)

Appearance: Grak stands at an average height of 5’7. His carapace is a brownish orange color, with hints of black. Grak’s head and neck are bleached white, to add to his individualism. In an attempt to seem more relatable to humans, Grak usually wears a pair of baggy, strangely fitting human clothes: An olive green old style military jacket, and cargo pants of the same color.

Personality: Grak is an extremely emotional, possibly bipolar (even by Chirix standards) alien. Grak seems to be afraid of even his own shadow, showing to have little gut for a fight. He’s quick to run away from his problems, and generally relies on his technology and wit over his physical feats. (Note: Grak is no where near as weak as he seems. He’s just as strong as the next Chirix.) If cornered and left without any conventional defenses, Grak will fight with tooth and nail to escape. Grak is unpredictable, cleaver, and extremely cunning. These traits are what allow him to stay away from the law for so long.

History: Like many people of Babylon, the Ruo’s were unlucky enough to have ended up in a tower town, and have stayed the majority of their lives. Grak was born the son of two illegal immigrants to Outremer. His parents were willing to do anything to keep their family of five alive. Once the children were born, Grak’s father, Kla (from where Grak received the first half his middle name), joined a crew of Sand Pirates. While this did provide the Ruo with a decent (tower town version of decent) income, this left Chyu (the latter half of Grak’s middle name. All of the children have this same middle name.) to raise the children alone. As soon as the Ruo boys were able to walk and talk, they were put to work. They each earned what jobs they could to assist the family in scrounging up enough money to live, and hopefully some day move into Babylon itself. The job Grak found was what influenced him to join the business he did. He had become the apprentice to a local arms dealer, who created the majority of the weapons on his own.

This man Grak worked for taught the little Chirix many important lessons. First, he taught Grak how to steal. No one survived in the shanty towns without taking what isn’t theirs. Second, Grak was taught how to fight and fire a gun. Outremer is a violent and cruel place, after all. Grak didn’t excel in fist fighting as much as a Chirix would have been expected to, but he could hold his own. Grak, however, had a natural talent with firearms. Lastly, Grak’s employer taught him his trade. Grak learned how to take anything apart, and put it back together. Then he learned how to tell what stuff was valuable, and what wasn’t. Then Grak learned how to combine said parts into something better than the things they came from. Grak learned quickly, and mastered the art of creation. His first invention ever was something he called the ‘bug bomb.’ It was a metal sphere filled with sand parasites and a liquid substance that provided the parasites with food, and a place to breed. When thrown, the sphere would break open upon impact and the parasites would instantly take flight, looking for the nearest thing with flesh and blood. (This is good for Grak, because they don’t have a taste for carapace.) Over the years, Grak has created many inventions like the bug bomb.

After his master died, Grak took over the business and began an overhaul. He hired a large number of other Chirix (all of his brothers as well), and expanded the business’s influence. Grak’s Guns (the name of his business) has three shops in the three largest tower towns, with the most high quality one being run by Grak himself in his home town. Grak’s Guns is best known for its autopilot mech suits, which it sells at quite a high price. Grak’s most deadly weapon he has ever produced is a grenade launcher, specifically built to launch nerve-agent filled shells. These weapons, known as Reapers among tower towners, are only used by the most daring and wealthy Sand Pirates and terrorists. There is a warrant out of Grak’s arrest of the production of such weapons.

Occupation: Illegal arms dealer

Weaponry: Babylon isn’t the safest place in the galaxy, so it’s only natural that Grak would have some way to defend himself. Enter in the Eclesar class Personal Defense Weapon. The Eclesar fires a powerful electrolaser, which, when the laser hits the target, induces a plasma channel on the target. This plasma channel is highly conductive, and thus electrocutes whatever it hits. (Note: This weapon has a non-lethal setting, which lowers the voltage of the electricity sent through the target)

Augments: None

Other: Grak’s proudest creation is his personal aircraft, the The Ace . The Ace is equipped with duel .90 caliber mini auto cannons. These weapons fire at a blistering 4,000 rounds per minute. The Ace itself is about the size of a large motorcycle (discounting the guns and ammunition storage), thus making it a hard target to it, being able to move at 60 mph when equipped with its weapons. Without its weapon load, however, the Ace’s top speed is 175 mph. The vehicle comes equipped with stealth technology to avoid radar detection, as well as its own radar. The Ace’s hull is resistant to heat, however ballistic small arms fire can penetrate it after three or so hits in the same generally area. Plasma and other high-power energy weapons could destroy the Ace with a single hit. Grak’s vehicle is propelled and kept in the air through advanced hover technology.

Fantastic bio Maxxor! I'm so glad we have a Tindrel character to relate to; and i must say you've done such a good job on Grak! Accepted.

Okay, noted. Good luck with your finals for next week! :D That's some serious work.

There could be an opportunity to try and catch Jack? Shit just hit the fan for him and he's currently careering out of control (and indeed out of car ) in the Projects. Antelope Dreaming is gone so the pursuit is in a shambles.

Your first post was brilliant, don't beat yourself up. Self improvement is what TSR is all about

I suppose there could be. I do hesitate to take liberties with events involving other PCs though. Any ideas on what turns the pursuit could take next?

I enjoyed it myself. I foresee a rift in the future between the group and richard, who looks like he might fly off the handle at any moment if Marcus doesn't rein him in.

Though I suppose that's good you're not pleased with your intro. Means it can only get better. Though I know what you mean. I just edited mine after feeling like I rushed it (which I did b/c I was excited the IC was up lol). With the talent we have on our roster, it's only natural to feel intimidated (at least I do), but it pushes me get better.

I'll give you a little flavor via private message.

Exactly this! It's hard for posts to get worse because i know as i get into a rhythm and immerse myself in the world, it becomes easier and easier to think what needs to be written. That's when flair and the imagination start coming into their own. Plus i remember your posts in Old TSR NoSoul; they were absolutely off the scale! So far i've been delighted with every post in the IC.
