[OOC] Revenant - A Sci-fi Adventure

[BlackPanther]

@TJByrum
Woo
Thank you

I went for more human and less animal just to make him more humanoid
:)

Edit:
Kinda like so:

Hider

[Chao]

@TJByrum I'm interested.

[TJByrum]

@lucidnonsense Can you post a copy of your bio in the Characters tab?

[jordy0403]

Just so everyone knows, I probably won't be posting much/anything for the next couple of days... sometimes I really really hate winter.

[TJByrum]

@jordy0403 It's okay, just post when you're ready. I won't be advancing the main plot until everyone has had time to post.

I would almost suggest we all post once each, in a series of turns, but I also don't want to hold anyone back from interacting with other player-characters (which may require multiple posts).

@chaotic chao Oh, I didn't see you there. Just shoot a bio my way and I'll see about accepting it.

[jordy0403]

Sorry it took me so long to post, colds are the worst.
@TJByrum

Sorry it took me so long to post, colds are the worst.
@TJByrum

@jordy0403

Okay, np, I will attempt a post this weekend or next.

[Rultaos]

I'm interested in joining this RP. I'm considering a Mad-Bomber/Techno-wiz sort of character who is as weird as they are dangerous. Got any room for a guy like that?

[Crossfire]

@Rultaos @TJByrum

This is a fairly slow-moving rp, we're still in the intro stage, so I dont see the harm in throwing together a cs to see what the GM thinks

[TJByrum]

It is very hard getting time for this. One day, I swear I will try. I think we should be getting some days off around October

[Rultaos]

Here he is. I hope he's up to scratch and isn't too powerful.

Name: Benjamin Quincy/”Benny Boomer”
Age/Race/Gender: 24 – Human (Scottish) - Male
Appearance: A young Caucasian male with short messy black hair (often made blacker with soot and explosive residue). Has wide blue eyes and rough skin that’s often gets riddled with bruises, burns, and explosive powder (whenever he decides a bath isn’t important). Face is mostly clean shaven but with the shadow of a beard starting to grow on it
Occupation: Mercenary (Explosives expert, professional heister, ship raider) and Freelance hacker

Weapons:

RWC-BR7 Modular Battle Rifle

Source: fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos..

- RWC-BR7 Modular Battle Rifle (“The Boomstick”): A special marksman weapon designed by the Rovik Weapons Corporation. It is a semi-automatic ballistic rifle with a 30 round magazine (and can be swapped out with drum magazines with over 60 rounds). The BR7 was made for use in armor-piercing and mid-range sniping. It is usually carried by designated marksmen in conventional Special Forces units. The barrel of the gun can carry up to 2 slots for different attachments for versatility

- Grenade launcher RWC-BR7 attachment: Can fire a variety of different grenades meant for use in many other grenade launcher models. Has an auto-loading magazine that can hold up to 4 shots before being reloaded.

- Compact Shotgun RWC-BR7 attachment: Fires shotgun pellets in a spread and fires independently of the main rifle. Trigger is attached to the pump on the left side of the attachment. Used for close-quarter engagements.

- Laser-cutter RWC-BR7 attachment: Generally used for slicing through hardened surfaces, it can also be used as an emergency weapon against shielded targets, though it is prone to overheating from sustained fire.

- L32-PDD arm-mounted laser pistol: A small personal defense device worn on the arm like a gauntlet by Las-32 Enterprises that functions much like a standard automatic laser pistol, but overheats more quickly. The trigger is located on the arm, behind the gun itself and is pressed downwards to fire. It can fire 10 shots in full automatic before cooling down.

- A bionic arm (See Items)
- Frag grenades
- Tear Gas grenades
- Sleep Gas grenades
- EMP grenades (for disabling systems, weapons, and shields)
- Incendiary grenades
- Cluster grenades (breaks apart into smaller less potent frag grenades, poor at breaking through armor but lethal to soft targets)
- Frag and Incendiary Tripmines (sticks to surfaces and detonates when internal sensors detect movement)
- Remote Explosive charges
- Acid Bomb (device meant for melting through hardened surfaces but can double as a bioweapon)

Armor: (Armored)

Helmet: BDT-BioVisor Tactical

Source: s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/82/f..

Produced by Bulwark Defensive Technologies, it is a sealed environmental helmet complete with a heads-up display and vision modes that include Night vision and Thermal Imaging. Designed for use in hazardous environments by both soldiers and civilian militia

Body Armor: BDT-Specialist Utility Suit

Source: s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/05/5..

Sealable suit made by Bulwark Defensive Technologies as an engineer/technician suit that doubles as civilian ballistic body armor for use in violent or lawless zones. Contains various pockets and compartments for carrying gear, as well as magnetized sections for attaching large objects such as rifles.

Items:
- Bionic Arm (“Ol’ Skelly”): Used as a powerful throwing arm for grenades, a general melee combat weapon. It also contains the “Skeleton Key” software designed by Benny that allows him to interface with almost any known computer device or electronic system to manually hack into their functions using a holographic display projected by a device just underneath the arm’s surface.
- Box of spare parts: A small box containing bits and pieces of scrap either collected from the field or salvaged from failed devices and/or experiments. Kept around in case he needs to jury rig something on the fly
- Jade turtle keychain: Carried out of sentiment

Skills: Knowledge in almost every form of explosive device and software system in Alliance space, and then some.
- Is aware of the various utilizations and blast radii of any explosive
- Can hack into nearly any electronic system known to man (Time and level of success varies depending on security measures)
- Has moderate skills in repairing and maintaining weaponry
- Can create improvised explosives with scrap as long as he has the right parts.
- High IQ and the ability to quickly analyze and multitask because of his ADHD
- Due to his ADHD, his brain pumps out an abnormally large amount of adrenaline which increases his pain tolerance to high levels.

Powers: Was considered to be screened for Psionic potential but left the educational system before tests could be taken. Has not exhibited further signs so far.
Other: Behavior is incredibly unpredictable and borderline insane, but should not be mistaken for incompetence if his criminal record is anything to go by.

hhhhi? i couldn't help but get interested after a friend told me about this. is it still alright to try and apply?

[iTem]

i'll just... post this character sheet here...

Character Sheet

Name:
Real name: Matija Holmström (A.K.A. “Brown Recluse”)
Current joke name: Sandra Bollocks

Age/Race/Sex: 29, Human (unknown aquatic alien type hybrid), (Non-binary) female

Appearance:

Appearance

>She has a spider tattoo on her back, hence her name.

(Helmet Image Source)

Occupation: Professional thief, underground fighter, street musician, stripper

---

Weapons:
Modded LP4 (.45 Gauss Beretta) Pistol (2 pcs):
The LP4 is a semi-automatic handgun that uses .45 bullets as ammunition. Because it uses gauss technology, the gun has less recoil, more power, but heavier by 205 grams (plus 163 grams more with the additional grappling hook attachment) in comparison to its more original ballistic siblings. It has been modified to allow a grappling hook attachment for Matija’s harnesses.

LP4 with Grappling Hook Attachment:

SV-98 GS Series Sniper Rifle:
The original SV-98 was designed to “engage targets at a range up to 1,000 m (1,100 yd)”. Its heavier, bulkier, and more powerful sibling, the SV-98 GS (gauss) series increases its range for up to 500 m (550 yd) but with the additional weight for the electromagnets (plus 0.5 k for the original 7.8 kg). The effective firing range for this gun is 1500 but will experience considerable environmental effects (wind, gravity, etc.) after 300 meters.

Gauss Sniper Rifle:

Throwing Knives (12 pcs):

Throwing Knives:

Retractable Tanto Short Swords:
Can retract towards the half-circle handle for portability. The blade is designed to get sharpened everytime it retracts. Please handle with care.

Retractable Tanto Short Swords

---

Armor:
Modified Ragno Experimental Gravity Armor (see image in appearance):
A medium powered armor that can ground the user to a surface that they are standing on for a total of 15 minutes (. While the rest of the armor is designed to support the user’s body as well as distribute the artificial gravity throughout the body, the armor’s footwear carries the brunt of its gravitational power. The footwear is aesthetically bulky, but its sole is designed to almost completely muffle the user’s footfalls to effectively hide the user from audio detection. While the armor’s function remains the same, Matija had already heavily modified the suit for her own use, barely resembling the original design.

Originally, the armor was created for reconnaissance and space travel for low-gravity planets (to stop the use of weights). It was supposed to be “a personal artificial gravity field that allows its user to launch themselves to any direction and walk on any surface, regardless of orientation (i.e. the user’s initial and aimed orientation) for almost an indefinite period of time (time is battery dependent)”.

---

Items:
Balam Experimental Body Suit:
Worn under her armor. Balam is designed to act like a second skin. It is made using a material that allows whatever it is covering to be 90.89% invisible within 4 seconds the moment the material's atoms are excited through direct electrical shock (800 volts or higher). The suit's invisibility field can last for a total of 30 minutes, and it only mostly affects organic materials.

Others

• Climbing harness
• 300 meter harness cables with hooks (3 pcs)
• Harness gears (2 pcs)
• Smoke grenades (2 pcs)
• Lock picking set: For the people who prefer it old style.
• “Rocky”: A small handheld device that dispenses and ignites Matija’s personalized thermite mixture. It can either create a thermite laser or a one-time thermite bomb that can be attached to a safe’s frame using some electrical tape and C4.
• Block of C4 (usually cut into 4 separate and smaller blocks)
• Piezoelectric Violin and bow:
  
  Piezoelectric Violin:

  
• Dentures
• Various contact lenses
• Headphones

---

Skills:
Because of the nature of her jobs, Matija learned that constantly moving made her a difficult target to catch. This mindset made her learn and hone her ability to parkour almost anywhere. Her heightened bodily sensitivity and intelligence helped her balance her strength, flexibility, and agility into impressive proportions. Her unique physiology allows her to eat and digest almost anything with (usually) little to no negative effects (her stomach acid is very very corrosive), an ability to adapt to sudden temperature and pressure changes easier (in comparison to standard human limits), and stay underwater up to an hour and a half (and around 15 minutes when swimming). She is also believed to have very sensitive auditory capabilities, can pole-dance, knows first aid, and has very good accuracy (due to acute spatial senses) for both maneuvering and sniping.

Powers: No known psionic abilities.

---

Other:

• Authorities handling her has been warned to handle her with care, especially her mouth because of her pointed teeth. She is usually transported in a reinforced strait jacket and a muzzle.
• She takes off her contacts and dentures if she is only going to stay indoors
• Has ADHD, cannot sit still for too long
• Hates lugging her sniper rifle around, will not take it as much as possible, will fite you for it
• Very strong swimmer, can easily drown people
• She is well versed on most security systems but she is by no means an expert. This job is usually handled by her associates
• She picks locks on her free time

On the Humanoid-Amphibious Aliens:

Mecorians:

Her ‘alien’ genes are from an isolationist humanoid-amphibian alien race from an ocean planet (dubbed as “Mecor”) in the uncharted galaxies of the universe. Heading towards the planet can be dangerous (or even fatal) because of it remoteness and the electrical storms that are constantly raging at the outskirts of the Beul (Be-yool) 4428 galaxy. There are only two successfully recorded trips towards the planet, and no known successful contact that did not result to the death of the scientists that attempted the said contacts.

The planet itself is composed of approximately 90% water, with white sandy beaches, hard soil, and hot tropical weather. Some of the planet’s ‘trees’ appear to be made out of coral (especially those by, and near the bay) and those with soil have thick forests that are too hard and too thick to trek. Scientists initially believed that their civilization is on the edge, or just past its ancient era. The speculation was derived through remote areal drone feeds that showed shanty-like dwellings near the bay areas and that the Mecorians are likely seen wearing loose tunic-like fabrics as clothing. This speculation had just recently been refuted when the scientists saw that the aliens used steel and seemingly ballistic weaponry similar in function to the earth’s post-colonial or industrial era weaponry. Scientists believe that the dwellings near bays may be ‘temporary homes’ for the Mecorians, and that their actual homes (or even cities) might be located somewhere in the think forests, or even underwater.

At present, the race refuses outside contact and is hostile with outsiders so very little is known about them. Based on what is known about them, it is that they are amphibious humanoid creatures with skin colors ranging from light brown to black, white hair, pupil-less eyes, webbed hands and feet, webbed dorsal spines, and sharp nails and teeth for tearing food. Note that scientists are only able to observe the physical features of the planet’s inhabitants and culture through drones equipped with powerful cameras hovering approximately 200 feet from the ground.

Some scientists have hypothesized that this alien race might be related to humans because of the structural similarities of the two races. There is currently no data to back-up this claim.

So the first thing you might be asking yourself is 'who is this Crossfire person, and why are they tagging me in a dead RP from months ago?' and you're 150% right to be questioning that.

Well, ever since this rp went under, I've found it drifting into my mind constantly. My own busy schedule was the only thing holding this post back. And now, with @TJByrum's permission, I'm planning a resurrection of this rp, intended to be exactly as it was, with a strong emphasis on character over story, and I want to offer you all (being the members of the rp at the time of it's demise, and others who were interested after it died) first dibs on spots, if your interest is still there. If you are, just pm me or drop a response here. OOC and Interest Check threads will be going up early in the new year, hope to see you there!

[Chao]

@Crossfire I guess I may be up for it.

[iTem]

still up for it. my character's background has been constantly in the back of my mind. xD

[Crossfire]

@Lucidnonsense@mackielars@Rultaos@jordy0403@Chaotic Chao@BlackPanther@TJByrum

New thread going live within the next 24 hours, Interest check link below, if you'd wanna check in there first!

http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/157965-revenant-a-sci-fi-adventure/ooc

I've also got a few from another rp I'm running interested in joining, so they'll help bolster our ranks!

[BlackPanther]

@Crossfire
Cool
Feel free to tag me when the full rp goes up ^.^
