[OOC] No Turning Back - Into the Abyss

[Draken]

@boomlover, I like the post, by the way! And I'm also concerned about slowly losing all of our glassware aboard the Vitae. Unfortunately for me (and by extension you), I have a terrible habit of mental fact checking while reading: there are a total of 510,000 humans on the Vitae, not 600,000.

[boomlover]

@Draken ............ smartass. XD

[Rawk]

@Sep They were only a reference point for ideas, not the actual armor. I can look on DA though.

[Rawk]

Oh, and love the intro post @boomlover, especially the last bit about the Admiral's eye. You have to wonder if he leaves it as a constant reminder of why he's fighting...or maybe he likes pirates. O.x?

[boomlover]

@Rawk probably pirates. Though we can all agree that ninjas are cooler.

[RedLeather]

Who hasn't posted that needs to?

[Rawk]

Nice intro @Heat.

Not sure what you had in mind, but I imagined that his "veins" would be used to continuously pump cooling liquid throughout his system, of course causing his skin to feel cold to the touch.

[Sep]

We'll be continuing the launch on Sunday for those that have yet to post.

[Rawk]

Another concept for Security armor:

Essentially I like the idea of a flexible & strong form-fitting material underneath, with pieces of armor & tech layered. Also visors/helmets that give the Security Agent communications, and a HUD to pull up info on anyone, schematics of the Ark, etc.

Ark Patrol/Police Agents

Perhaps they would also carry shock batons, and other non-lethals, to subdue.

The Riot Police, however, (still looking for a good image) would have heavier armor with close-range weapons.

[Xandrya]

I'm sorry, anyone who has POLICE written across their ass will more than likely be laughed at. I know I wouldn't take them seriously. Where is this concept art even from?

[Sep]

@Rawk It says NYPD, but what about this?

[Rawk]

@Xandrya Calm down chica, its only a concept, not an exact science ;)
But, to your point, this is why I hate scouring the internet for the "perfect" image because I'm never satisfied.

@Sep Yeah, I saw that one too, so I suppose that is a runner up.

[Sep]

@Rawk yeah I'm not the biggest fan of the one with Police on it's butt either :P

If you want you can alternatively write a description and that'll work.

[Rawk]

@Sep Yeah, I'll probably just do that and be done with it. Fuck the images :/

EDIT: And just for the record, I wasn't going to have Guards with POLICE written on their asses ffs O.o

[vietmyke]

I have a few concept pieces hiding in my massive vault of rpguild images that I could go through

For instance, I've already found the front view of the photo @Rawk posted, which doesn't show the police on the butt, but rather the bust

[vietmyke]

I dont think these would be good for foot guards, but maybe SWAT/Riot police?

Hider

Here's a potential for a patrol cop/guard

Hider

Shit. Doublepost. Forgiveth me Sep

[Rawk]

@vietmyke As much as I like that image (minus the "POLICE" on the ass), if it doesn't work for the rest of the group then I can just as easily create a description which can then be added to the Archives. Better to leave the rest of the details up to the imagination of the reader rather then adding an image that doesn't quite fit the bill.

Essentially, I think going with a flexible and strong mesh-like material that they slip on like a tight fitting jumpsuit, and then adaptive armor exo-armor pieces for the arms, legs, etc, and a visor that doesn't necessarily cover their entire head (unless the guards want to stay anonymous...?)

[Sep]

@vietmyke NEVER

I STRIKE THEE DOWN WITH THE POWER OF GM.

Nah it's cool bro, I'm pretty sure I did it a couple of pages back.

[Rawk]

And yeah @vietmyke I pictured the RIOT Po-Po with the heavy shit, so that's probably a good image, plus a bad ass shield.

[vietmyke]

But with all this talk of cops going around, I have an investigator character in mind...
