@Stitches@DinoNuts Both are very interesting characters you brought to the table! We have a light-scout and a heavy weapons unit.

For Abigail, I see she has a Gravity-like suit to help her traverse against walls and ceilings while manipulating her gravitational pull. I will be honest though that I worry over the 'superhuman speeds' thing, however the high-risk high reward factor going into her balances things out. How fast can she go exactly?

Otherwise, everything else with her looks fine. Just answer the question and you can add her in once you have my official approval over her speed. Still a really interesting character, I like her.

And Dino, your character looks really nice as well. Just will want to put out that during missions, he'll be limited to how many weapons he can carry at a time (like I mentioned with ROADWARRIOR's sheet). I'm pretty sure you know this, but Im just giving out a reminder. Like for regular missions, take the Crossbow and chainsword. But if the mission requires he takes down megafauna, then yes the 20mm cannon can be used, along with say the chainsword (but cannot carry the crossbow).

Otherwise, your character looks good! Please put him in the CS.

The discord can also be found in the intro OCC btw

Also at this point, I'll be closing down the RP for the meantime. We are full.

Well, when I was making her, the speed was "Faster than the monsters".

But let's give this some actual thought - I'm godawful at putting numbers onto things like these. Hell, I even had Dino help me figure out Abigail's weight - fictional objects given a numerical value is a surefire way to make my head hurt. To start off with, I can safely say that 'superhuman' =/= superhero speed power. Trying to reach the speeds that The Flash can accomplish in the middle of a dense jungle or a craggy volcanic planet is just asking to get a limb stuck somewhere and have it ripped clean off. When I say superhuman, I mean above-average; as fast as, if not a little more, than a professional sprinter with the suit on. Even without the suit Abigail's childhood and early teenage years (the years where your body grows and develops) were spent hauling ass away from monsters, so it's not surprising that she's a speedy little bugger when she has to be, and I evened out that little biological benefit with her pitiful physical strength when it comes to fighting or lifting any object that's heaver than she is.

The reduced weight from the suit means she can run longer distances at sprinting pace without tiring out, but even sprinting in near zero G will still eventually exhaust Abigail. When Abigail tires out she doesn't lose velocity immediately, but she's more prone to tripping up or stumbling which can have some pretty severe consequences. Her 'superhuman speed' will only ever be used in short/medium bursts, and hopefully the environment around her will allow her to avoid sprinting. For example, I doubt she'll be doing a lot of running in a straight line on K2B-894; there will be a lot of tree-climbing, ducking, sporadic changes of direction and swinging from vines that'll break up her movement quite nicely.

Put her in a big flat plain that stretches out for miles and expect her to outrun any beast that's considerably bigger than her and yeah, she's definitely fucked.

tldr - She won't be running fast for long, at top speed she's a little faster than a professional sprinter with that suit on, the suit makes things a little easier, and her sprinting will be broken up with all sorts of acrobatics anyway.

Still a really interesting character, I like her.


Thanks! I thought there was an explorer-shaped hole in this big-game hunting and exploration unit that needed balancing out.

@Utrax Brek will be happy to know that the tiles arent real wood. They're just simulated as such. Would be too expensive and costly to actually rip the entire room down and replace it as real wood. (Although probably some of the furniture is actually legit wood so).

It's more of a "you could have made this into something better" than a "protect the trees" hahah.
All that log cabin and you have no spears? Silly humans and your 'aesthetics'.

Wood is valued almost like modern day gold for the Corek. They don't have trees on the home world.

It's a more modernized log cabin lol supposed to represent in this time period as the old styled log cabins we know of the old 19th - 20th century days (sorta)

And good to know. Again, not gonna lie, if you didn't explain your character, well I would've found him as an environmentalist.

(Like Mei lol)

You're gonna find that happening a lot. I tend to keep those details for revelation in RP if folks ask the questions... but I know hes gonna be hard to get any info out of, so I'm laying down FunFactsLite about him hahah.

Was that almost a MEIday?

@Lmpkio Here's what I got for some equipment.

Tolian Harmonic Blade - A piece of equipment that Harriet picked up on the Flora e job. Hewn from an energetic crystal the blade's micro vibrations cut through organic material easily. While not as strong as an energy blade it works passively with little maintenance and no need for a power source.

M-801 Charger (Photon Lance) - Having seen her previous team being overpowered and under supplied, Harriet used what little funds to purchase a M-801 upon her return. A common mining laser capable of burning through stone and softer metals with relative ease. It however was bulky and requires a heavy power source. Gutting the tool and dialing down the strength, Harriet fitted the components in a more manageable medium rifle chassis themed after her own appearance.

The photon lance has two firing modes. The first is short blasts more akin to your standard laser rifle. The second is a 3 cm diameter beam that can be sustained for seven seconds. It takes ten seconds to build a charge before it can fire the beam and a fifteen second cooldown afterward to fire again. Safety can be turned off to fire longer or more often but it is ill advised.

Hmmm, I was just discussing this with Dino yesterday and I wanted to ask a couple things here to see what everyone else thinks:

Is it possible to get a map/room list for the SC Sirius? I get the feeling we'll be using that ship as a bit of a hub between missions, more-so than the main office on the space station. With Abigail having practically lived (and cleaned) on that ship for a good 6 years now, it's unlikely there are any hidey-holes or crawlspaces she doesn't know about and I'd love to see what we can come up with.

Second, Abigail uses holopad tech/comms. A lot. If you couldn't tell by her equipment list, she's practically a walking mars rover, jam-packed with scanners and sensors that all report back to the holopad on her arm or the UI screen on her helmet. I think it would be rather stupid/selfish of me to have Abigail hoard all the info she gathers from the environment to herself, so I thought I'd ask about some sort of obligatory GAHL device that, at the very least, links everyone up with a means of communication (sci-fi walkie talkies) and puts whatever data Abigail manages to gather to good use?

Take K2B-894 for example. We might have a satellite map of the planet, but for a jungle world that's a pretty shitty resource to have. All we'd get to see are big blobs of canopy. With Abigail's helmet scanning the immediate surroundings, she could also be uploading a 3D "street-view" style map onto everyone's GAHL devices to zoom in and see what trees, bodies of water, rocks or dangers are nearby. A GPS system with everyone's location marked on the world map allowing people to locate each other easily or send SOS signals. A text channel so Kaylx can hook up his robodog and everyone can enjoy Anubis' running commentary as much as I did for those moments when speaking might be a little too dangerous. After all, what's the point of having a scout if they can't report their findings back to you?

I can see the downsides of perhaps making the exploration/survival aspects of the RP a bit too easy, but the tech does have its limitations - Abigail's detailed map can only show where she's been and a little ways away from that, so anyone who decides to not follow Abigail into the unknown depths of an alien planet (admittedly a smart choice) would be on their own with nothing but the satellite map and a cluster of GPS dots to guide them. Equipment can be broken - earpieces that fall off into a muddy puddle, short out and cut off someone's voice comms. Abigail's helmet is ripped off her shoulders and flung miles off into the distance by an enraged alien, leaving a patchy trail of partially-scanned wildlife before it gets stuck in a tree and leaves Abigail and the rest of the party blind until the poor girl can find a way to get it back. Biosensors stop working and half the party, according to their tech, has sporadically died. Shitty WiFi in the depths of some underground cave.

Anyway, I'm rambling on a bit too much - I thought I'd throw these ideas out and get everyone's opinion on it as well as the GM's decision.
