[OOC] Dystopian Grand Prix

[Treue]

Character posted. I'm wondering what the abilities of the other racers will be.

@Dynamo Frokane did you read the hider labeled "Bio"?

<Snipped quote by King Tai>

Youll have to keep that thot out of the whip during races, regulation rules polaya.

@Dynamo Frokane

I just noticed that your and Colin's character have the same surname, is this a coincidence or are you attempting to form some sort of connection between the two?

@Dynamo Frokane

Total co-incedence, I just kinda picked it and only noticed after I posted XD
Course it'd make for a fun plot point if everyone kept asking the pair if they were related.

@Dynamo Frokane did you read the hider labeled "Bio"?

@6slyboy6

I missed it, probably because the hider was underneath the header already named bio and it had a short paragraph. No matter though.
The Masked one is approved, but him in the characters tab.

[Dolerman]

looking goood so far, maybe one or two more entries and we will get started, and I'll also go over the RP mechanics for racing, yall know how my combat system works right?

[Dolerman]

@Delta44 your boss has summoned you......to RACE :3

[Treue]

Well we never did really go over how to know if someone is able to avoid an attack or not.

[6slyboy6]

@Dynamo Frokane I have no idea how any mechanics work in the game. Care to explain please :D

[Dolerman]

@Verdaux@Skepic@ChaoticFox Thought you guys might be interested in this RP got a nice bunch of drivers in the characters tab!

Well we never did really go over how to know if someone is able to avoid an attack or not.

@Treue

Ahh well the way combat will be handled is that you will declare an attack and your target will decided wether to register as a hit or a dodge. BUT because they are driving a car, dodging a rocket or whatever will cause them to swerve and depending on the part of the race track they are on they may just crash or spin out. Also if I feel the target isnt nimble enough or far away enough to avoid the attack then I as the GM will register the hit on the Target regardless.

But for non weapon races, your main form of attack will be ramming, which will work in a similar way, just with more risk to the attacker (swerving to ram).

#52 'The Cabbie'

Name: Malachy Connors
Age: 23
Height: 5’6
Weight: 151 lbs
Nationality: French American
Appearance: Somewhat scruffy looking, Malachy has curly brown hair reaching his shoulders, unkempt with a mullet, underneath a peaked cap. Slightly flat end nose from a time he got punched in the face, slight stubble. He wears a mottled leather jacket with some harder plastic shoulder pads and elbow pads over a grimy red shirt, a pair of black leather fingerless gloves and a single silver ring on his left pointer finger. He wears a heavy duty belt with a change dispenser and multiple pouch pockets over brown slacks and leather boots with metal toecaps.

Bio: Malachy was born to Pierre and Francine Connors in Paris, a pair of gypsies etching out the meekest of livings in the “cour de miracles.” They sold small bits of tech they stole and scavenged from scrapyards and shop trash cans, the only thing that could give them the smallest profit in their life of poverty. Malachy was brought into the ‘family business’ and quickly picked up on repairs. He noticed patterns in-between devices and actually started to work on them when he had a hand free from his parent’s usual work. Eventually, his parents were run down during a police raid on a cyber terrorist gang hiding underneath Notre Dame, leaving Malachy alone.

In a stroke of luck, he managed to get some work in a home devices manufacturing company, a worker in Zillion Corp’s factories as a simple drone at the conveyor belt. It was underpaid and dangerous, but it gave him enough to continue carving out a meagre existence. He was eventually promoted after showing his skills and became a delivery driver, despite not being licenced to drive and having only brief training from a senior member of staff. He continued with this job and improved his driving skills, often becoming reckless when he drove, to the point where he crashed a shipment and fled the country when Zillion Corp sent out hired goons to kill him for his mistake.

He fled to the USA and hid out there, taking a job as a taxi driver for a little while until he was in his 20’s, got sick of his employers and broke one of their knees before quitting in his entirety. He took out a heavy lone from the bank with an idea in his head to set up his own single manned taxi service and work for himself. Thus, the “Pidgeonhole Taxi Service” was born. Malachy made a name for himself as the ‘winged chariot’ by escorting paying customers through even the most dangerous of terrain, no matter what their story. However, the debt collectors for his loan continued to hound him even as he enjoyed his success. Thus, he turned to a last resort option, the Risk Rally, with his streetwise taxi driving skills and a souped up cab, intent to take it all the way and pay off his debts, and maybe have a little extra for a nice place on the west end of town.

#52

Name: “Carrier Pidgeon.” #52
Appearance:

The Carrier Pidgeon was an old model taxi that Malachy bought from a scrapyard once he’d obtained his loan money. He tuned the machine up himself and painted the “Pidgeonhole” logo on the side, giving it the nickname Carrier Pidgeon in reference to this. Once accepted into Risk Rally, Malachy went about altering it, giving it weapon functionality and adding stronger armour plating. He also installed some jump jets underneath it as a secret weapon.

Firepower: 17
Grip: 15
Frame: 18
Acceleration: 20
Top Speed: 30
Special Weapon#Ability: Pidgeon wings. Small high power jet boosters under the car go off, catapulting it skyward for a few metres. Allows the car to escape potential dangers and sometimes take shortcuts.
Personal Weapon: Spanner

@CadenGallic

Lol I think I forgot to approve you, put him in the characters tab.

[Treue]

Works for me. I plan on lots of flashy dodging maneuvers. For those who couldn't tell, mine is a pure driving machine. None of that silly mounted weapons nonsense.

@Treue

Should also mention that in all races you can use your melee weapon to lean out of your car and attack opponents with, the effectiveness of this is determined by your firepower stat.

[Delta44]

@Dynamo Frokane Yo I'm here, kinda busy rn so I'll check it out later :P

@Dynamo Frokane

My car is fast, therefore my weapon is useless. I'll probably use it defensively.

@Treue

thats a good idea, because youll still be caught up on, some of the hairpin turns on these tracks aint friendly.

Nope ya didn't. Cheers guvna.

[ChaoticFox]

@Dynamo Frokane I'll try to get a CS up tomorrow

[6slyboy6]

@Dynamo Frokane
There will be non armed races too?
Aw damn son. Can I have 2 cars maybe? I can say the Masked stole another car from the old gang lolz
How many non armed races were you thinking of? Cause, you know, good grip is the only thing holding some of our rides in the race when it comes to NOT shooting enemies.
Maybe we could improve our non armed stats by taking the weapons and armor plates off our vehicles? Sounds like a reasonable exchnage for like 5-10 extra points of stats for race oriented abilities.
But w/e you are the GM, its your shot

@6slyboy6

Stats stay the same, melee weapons are still usable in non armed races And sometimes in car firearms too (will get into that later) every race has different rules and restrictions. Even with a firepower specialized vehicle you will still be dangerous in non armed races.
