War Update!
The Shadow List

A new mechanic for War of the Three will be the Shadow List. As the name would suggest, it is a secretive collection of information that no one person will have full knowledge of, but what does this exactly entail for you, the players?

• Secret Upgrades - For those who want to improve their character between rounds, but don't want to leave the mechanics of their trump cards plain to see for all the world to Meta game off of, there is the Shadow List. You can now submit your upgrades in secret to the GMs to make them valid to use without having to be blatantly explained IC beforehand.
• No More Unexplained McGuffins - No longer will issue arise over the validity of a sudden power up that coincidentally counters their opponent perfectly. If it is stated on either the IC or the Shadow List, it is a valid, GM approved ability that you can possess. Anything not stated IC or pre-approved on the Shadow List will now be invalidated.
• Character Sheet Updates - Now that there have been a few rounds under characters belts, CS's should be updated to reflect their current abilities. Abilities on the Shadow List do not need to be mentioned on the CS until they are revealed IC, whereupon secrecy is no longer necessary.
• Optional Character Sheet Update: War Record - Keep a record of your characters accomplishments within the Nexus. Since History will lose relevance as characters progress, a War Record may serve as a more accurate portrayal of your characters story as it is forged in the crucible of war that is the Nexus.

Instructions - How to Use the Shadow List

• 1) Have a feasible upgrade that merits concealment. This should not be a very frequent circumstance as everyone won't improve that drastically after one round, but when they do it needs to possible. For example, Grafdakka is not likely to secretly develop intense Psionic power and secretly manipulate the battlefield with telepathy and precognition. The Shadow List is not an excuse to have an Everything Proof Shield in your back pocket, but it will help conceal the knife there until you need it.
• 2) PM your upgrade under the header of "[INSERT NAME HERE]'s Shadow List" to all 3 GMs.
• 3) Wait for approval. If approved, then your upgrade is deemed valid and present on your character even if it is not blatantly shown IC. Feel free to hint something may have happened to give you this ability, like you've just left a wizard's tower, armory, drank a strange concoction, or were bitten by a radioactive spider, but now you don't have to spell it out to the crowd.

Complete these simple steps and you too can be a sneaky bastard like Miyu, the Revolver Ocelot of the Nexus!

Disclaimer

• All upgrades must be submitted and approved before the Intro Post of the following Round. Late submissions will have to wait for the round to end before being applied. These upgrades must make sense in their acquisition and application or they will be rejected.

@Lonewolf685 I think that's the nicest thing anyone's ever said about Miyu. :3

[TheWendil]

I didn't tag anyone in my post. That means you all should read it.

@The 42nd Gecko

Don't worry, Juno will apologize for being a brute to Miyu. As soon as they are back home.

By the way, everyone. I edited my previous IC post. Please ignore the parts I took out, since I thought again and no matter how cool it was, Diana wouldn't be arriving at the Core Room before the Kans. So you can have your plans follow as planned.

[Mega Birb]

@TheWindel
I'm gonna start making a list. A demonic list. Because a certain someone's OP as all hell until he gets killed.

[TheWendil]

@Mega Birb

Who?

[The 42nd Gecko]

@TheWindel I was going to suggest it was that NPC Flos always has around snarking at him, but I couldn't find the name.

Ah well.

[Ryonara]

@KoL

If it's not too much trouble, Hibiki and Diana could run into each other just as Hibiki's invisibility cloak goes down. Then we can have a little dialog and team up against the kans, since from what Cypher said earlier Hibiki can't actually tell them to stand down, and she can't fight them inside the core room due to the heat.

[Mega Birb]

@TheWindel Sliske. Sliske is OP now.

@Ryonara

Sure, that was one of the things that I was having in mind with the edit. You can have them run on each other on your next post.

[Ryonara]

Cool, I'll try to work on it ASAP.

[Mega Birb]

I'll be writing posts for various people come tomorrow and Saturday night.

Here comes the Mechanical Cavalry!

Ni-Mu

Ni-Mu

"Trigger off...."

Name: Ni-Mu.
Title: 2201st Prototype.
Age: 0, Ni-Mu has only been completed after the Battle of Point Hephaestus.
Gender: Female.
Allegiance: Machina of Mankind.
Race: Unclassified Special Prototype.
Height: 164 cm.
Weight: 57 kg.

Bio

Being a unique prototype unit --the first of the newly assigned 2201st Battalion-- Ni-Mu was completed after the Machina analyzed the battle data collected from several battles. She was built as a counter system to the other factions most powerful units. There's not much to say about an unit that has just finished being built, the next battle will be Ni-Mu's baptism by fire. Showing the other factions that the Machina are also capable of producing an assassin to be reckoned.

Combat

Powers:
-- Innate Time Control: A skill that relies on the ability to manipulate one's own time, creating a field that can accelerate or decelerate them, allowing faster movement and reaction time. An initial usage will always have a 2x factor, but Ni-Mu can use the command "Gear Shift..." to alter her speed up to her current limit of 10x faster or slower.

-- Trace: Ni-Mu is equipped with the latest generation processors and sensors. She can track movement, vibrations and electromagnetic sources around herself in a full arc, making it nearly impossible to sneak on her. This also let Ni-Mu analyze and counter her opponents' attacks with a speed that bars on precognition, the same move is more or less granted to never work twice against her.

-- Projection: Using a combination of nanites and hard light, Ni-Mu can create copies of any weapon she has ever seen and use i as effectively as the original user. Those copies are slightly inferior to the original, but can be produced in great numbers. Furthermore, only categories of weapons Ni-Mu can reproduce are bladed weapons, like spears, swords and arrows, given the nanites limitations when copying moving structures.

-- S.E.R.A.P.H. System: Ni-Mu's greatest power. The exact technical details about the S.E.R.A.P.H. are a secret known only by Ni-Mu and the Machina High Queen, from who this system is derived. Currently it works primarily as an environmental adaptation system, allowing Ni-Mu to endure harsh conditions with ease.

-- Overlimit: Ni-Mu can temporarily overload her systems causing them to become much more efficient at the cost os mechanical fatigue. If used for long streches of time it can cause her to go critical and shutdown forcibly until her system had cooled properly.

Weapons:
-- Prometheus & Sophia: While Ni-Mu can create pretty much any weapon that she may ever need, she came equipped with a pair of variable blades, the only weapons she can project to their full power. Usually they remain attached to her forearms, but can be wielded like normal swords or joined to become a bow capable of shooting projected weapons.

Equipment:
-- Icarus System: An addon to Ni-Mu's frame the Icarus Antigravitational Propulsion System allow Ni-Mu to fly and do maneuvers that would otherwise be impossible for normal flight systems.

Misc

Other: None at the moment.

@KoL And she counters Alexi too. But fortunately, they're on the same team.

[TheWendil]

Great, more characters to add to that long list.

I love this enthusiasm of yours, Windel-sama.
