[OOC] Hellion Exiles

[twave]

So it would be a non-corporeal character with a female personality/voice.

Well if you can find someone to play that role then by all means.

@Thread Generator SIN Going for it

Name - Niamh /Neev/ Cassidy McGrady, people usually call her Cas, Cassy or Mac

Age - 80 /species lifespan 250ish/

Species - Splice /Genetically engineered human/animal hybrids/

Role - Bounty hunter

Gender - Female

Appearance -

Portrait

Outfit/clothing

Hairdo

Cassidy is 5'7ish in peak physical condition, fit and athletic. Biceps, triceps, six-pack, the works /Please, don't go imagining steroid fed bodybuilder types / She has strong facial features, high cheekbones, full lips, slight dimple on the chin Piercing blue eyes, warm husky voice. Short, black hair.

Personality - The strong silent type around strangers. But among friends it's another story. She's open and friendly. Extremely loyal and protective, can be a bit of a mother hen to the younger folk When it comes to work she is stalwart, professional, focused. Bred to be the perfect hunter, she is unwavering in the pursuit of her quarry. Although warm and welcoming with friends, she rarely reveals much of herself, besides the parts she has trouble hiding due to her splice nature. She guards her inner self, her heart of hearts and soul of souls to share with that one and only special person. She may or may not have some kink in her

History - Cassidy was the result of an experiment to create the perfect soldier. She and about a thousand other babies were cooked up in petri dishes, raised by scientists and trained by the army. Their human DNA was spliced with a cocktail of various animal DNA. The goal was to impart the new species with superior physical abilities and senses, while also prolonging the lifespan of the specimens. The scientists were successful to some extent. While they did manage to gift the splices with superior physical abilities and heightened senses, as well as longer lifespan. The experiment was ultimately deemed a failure.

To ensure the splices laser focus to missions, they were bred to be sterile. However mother nature finds ways to ensure the survival of a species if it doesn't want to die out. And so slowly but surely the splices acquired the ability to procreate. And not only that but they could do so with any gender or species as long as there was compatibility. Also, unlike the genetically unmodified humans, the splices could control at will the act of procreation itself. No oops babies for them. The experiment was ultimately deemed a failure because of something else however. Since the splices had a mish-mash of animal genes, they tended to respect actual strength and earned leadership and failed more than once to carry out orders of superiors they deemed unworthy of their rank.

Cassidy was no different in that regard. She wouldn't allow dominance over her by someone undeserving of it. On more that one occasion she had disobeyed direct orders and had finally decked an officer when he'd tried to convince her his rank meant she had to sleep with him out of respect. She was discharged from the UGCP and took to bounty hunting since she still retained her personal sense of justice and the desire to punish wrongdoers. Because of her splice nature Cassidy has a very high sex drive and even higher drive to mate/find a life partner. And although a tryst between the sheets or against a wall, or a door to scratch an itch and abate some physical needs was fine and well, she did prefer to exert herself in other ways to staunch the urges. However strong her sex drive, her drive to mate was even stronger but so was her resolve to wait until the perfect mate came along. It was the only thing she wouldn't compromise with. And trough her life and experiences she'd come to prefer exclusively female candidates for her heart, body and sole.

Equipment -

• Twin pulse pistols /Wynonna and Lucy - Wynonna is very reliable and rarely jams, but she also has a temper and when she does that's it; Lucy is more flighty and jams more often but is fast to come back to working order /
• ninjato blade
• 6 kunai daggers

Cassidy is a melee fighter by preference, but she is highly proficient with a variety of mid and long range weapons as well as numerous hand-to-hand combat styles. She was bred and trained to be the perfect soldier/hunter after all.

Ship - N/A

Activity - At least every other day. I'm GMT+3 /or Bulgaria if anyone cares to know which country :D/ and can usually post after work, which is after 7/7:30 pm for me. I could post during my lunch brake if the need is too dire :)

Extras - Um... no extras for now :D

I didn't want to give out too much of her history and the history of the splice experiment. It could become apparent in-story, if you approve my character *fingers crossed*

[Thread Generator SIN]

@Thread Generator SIN Yes I will be apart of The Hellion crew who else is apart of that crew again? Just so I know who to post with.

@Kessir Tarkin

@Kessir Tarkin
Veece as Holiday and Grace
Also a hand full of npcs. We'll just go ahead and put your ship in the hangar of the Hellion and I'll put you on the shuttle with Grace and CB17. In place of Artyom Yolkov since thegreenleafe has been mia for 7 days. I'll edit that into the IC for continuity. This way you have a starting position. Does that sound good to you?

@GamerXZ don't forget to move that cs over.

@ihinka Thats a good one ^^ Accepted. Move her to the character sheet section. I'll have you start in New Newyork. Since your a bounty hunter, I'll be putting you on @Rune_Alchemist ship. I would start you directly on it but her character has a thing about strangers. So we'll have you chasing Shaw as your bounty and you'll run into rune's crew where you'll hopefully be recruited. Shaw is running for his life through the lower inner city alleys of New Newyork. If you have any questions, or if you would like to start else where, let me know.

@Thread Generator SIN

Yay, thanks :D *excited* I'll move her to the character tab right away.

Actually I was just finishing reading the IC and OOC and was wondering how to go about and land on the bounty hunter ship /should my CS be approved/ and was brainstorming something along the lines of what you have suggested. So I would be okay with starting like that. I would appreciate some feedback on the mechanics of posting in IC, if I should wait for specific permission or if I should go with the flow of the story and so on and so fort... :) Sorry, my brain is already writing up Cas' chase of Shaw

[Thread Generator SIN]

@Rune_Alchemist

I need to get another post in, but I have genuinely no idea where to toss Achieng in.

@Mistress Dizzy

Lets see...luna-2....well you could interact with one of my characters, who I placed for anyone unsure of where to jump in. For freelancers that's Melissa who's in line in a market to buy some ship parts, K-Dog who's drinking in the bar next to the market, or James whos babysitting the ship. Then there's player character freelancers. That's @Lovisa ColdeyesOmorfiá (your captain) who's in a separate bar with@TheUnknowable Mark and Hala. @Inner DemonBeast is confronting @GamerXZAlan and Aurora in front of that bar. Shits going to go down for pirates/bounty hunters/soldiers on earth so freelancers are taking it easy for the moment, gathering their crew/bearings. All four groups will intersect a bit later after departing earth.

[Thread Generator SIN]

@ihinkaNo real flow. Just post when it feels right. No real limit to speed either, as long as you usually let two people post before each of yours. You can go ahead and post next or soon if you like. Since Niamh has no previous ship, maybe she could have been looking for this bounty to get her off earth. So when she runs into Rune's crew, she'll have a reason to wanna hitch a ride. How does that sound?

@Thread Generator SIN

That would work. I just thought she had a bounty hunting crew with some of the other splices. But all of them one after the other got mated and settled down. So she is kinda left alone and in search of a new crew/family at the moment. She is a pack animal after all :)

I could post now, before going to bed, otherwise it would be tomorrow after work at the earliest.

[twave]

I need to get Eva dropped in somewhere. Preferably with Titania if that is doable. But she could be out on her own too since she tends to get in trouble.

@GarlandDaHero

[Thread Generator SIN]

@ihinkaSounds good to me. Post whenever you like. I'll post soon. Tonight or tomorrow. Just waiting out some interactions. Namely @GarlandDaHero. Also wondering if @Tarok Raz0r might need some npc interaction on Luna-2, since she's kinda doin her own thing with a bounty.

[Kessir Tarkin]

@Thread Generator SIN alright sounds good! I'll get working on my post then!

[Mistress Dizzy]

Working on post in between D&D rolls!

[TheUnknowable]

@Mistress DizzyI'm watching people play on youtube. (no one around here plays)

Heroes and Halfwits is the best DnD series ever.

i may be slightly biased.

@Thread Generator SIN

Here's the AI that will be for The Emperion/Eli.

Em

Name - ECAI-01, 02, 03, 04, and 05 (Empirion Cluster AI). Each go by their numeric designation with exception of ECAI-05 who goes by Em.

Age - In operation aboard The Empirion for four years.

Species - Artificial Intelligence

Role - UGCP

Gender - Female

Appearance - Units 01-04 appear as life size 6' 4" holographic projections to give them a presence among the crew. They never exit their station. Em has the same appearance but is a miniature about 8" tall.


Personality - Units 01-04 are extremely professional. They do not joke or make small talk beyond what is needed to keep the crew from becoming disheartened. Most often they just relay information about the ship. Em (unit 05) is a bit different. Being independent of the ship and Eli's personal AI she has developed a sort of personality. Still professional under most circumstances she will engage in banter with Eli, having learned his personality and how he interacts with other beings. She doesn't really interact with anyone else unless ordered to or there is need.

History - Designed specifically to operate The Empirion, units 01-04 stay aboard the ship at all times. They are all capable of running the ship individually. There is not much to say about their history as they serve no other function than being part of the ship. The four function independently but are interconnected to perform redundancy checks against any compromise of the unit's station or programing. In the event that a breach is detected the compromised unit is severed from the cluster and locked out of the system. Said unit will power down to allow a technician to perform maintenance and if needed a reset.

Em is the exception to the rule. Considered a hardened unit, she does not interface with the ship at all and has a separate system in the captain's quarters that checks for compromises. If none are found the current version of the AI is copied to revert should she be lost or compromised. A master also exists to perform a reset in the event of total failure. When docked at the captain's desk a miniature hologram can be projected anywhere in the room. When not docked she usually exists as simply a voice that speaks through the captain's comms. Her mobile unit is a small dockable disk device the size of a drink coaster. When not kept in Eli's pocket it can be deployed to hover and project Em's miniature form. When needed she can physically interface with other systems but that is usually discouraged. When it is necessary one way communication is attempted first.

Equipment - 01-04 operate and monitor The Emperion. They also each have their own base stations that house each AI individually (see the rings in the image above).

Em has her miniature base that allows her to be portable and project herself (see below).


Ship - The Emperion

Extras - Em is the only of the five AI that is free to develop a personality or leave the ship. She does not have any wireless communication capability to reduce the chance of a breach.

For security reasons the other units are kept in different parts of the ship. This makes a complete takeover of the ship extremely difficult. ECAI-01 is stationed on the bridge. ECAI-02 is stationed in engineering. ECAI-03 is stationed in the main hangar. ECAI-04 is stationed in the medical bay.

@Mistress DizzyI'm watching people play on youtube. (no one around here plays)

@TheUnknowable

Same here. Damn it! I can't find anyone to play DnD with... But than again, perhaps it's the language barrier :/

On another note...

I've been considering making a second character, but I don't want it to be e person... Some sort of companion... I've been brainstorming anything from an AI to a mech companion, to an enhanced animal of some sort. But I don't want it to be redundant and we already have a number of AI's and mechs on deck.

My most recent idea was an enhanced tigress. The animal would be enhanced in order for its genetic material to be viable in the splice project. She would be mostly mentaly enhanced, perhaps some bionic parts in her. Still I didn't want to mimic the Omorfia/B.E.A.S.T and Alexis/Meg pairings.

What do you think? Ideas and opinions would be appreciated :)

[Thread Generator SIN]

@t2waveLooks good. Accepted

@ihinkaGo for it.

[ihinka]

Ok... Here's what I got so far... It's just a draft and if you /all of you/ guys feel it would be redundant I won't mind scrapping it :)

Also... I know I said tigress, but I really meant to say lioness xD

Name - Ganesha /Cass calls her Nesh for short, but I suppose she would also respond to Ganny/

Age - 50ish /average lifespan of lions is about 14-15 years, Ganesha's genetically enhanced lifespan is 150ish/

Species - genetically enhanced bio-mecha lioness

Role - Cass' companion

Gender - Female

Appearance -

A rough visual

This would be a very rough visual of her armor. I imagine it a bit more elegant and body hugging. Kind of like Guyver armor.

Jump to 6.20min

How I would like the armor to deploy and retract.

Personality - Being a lioness, she is used to living within a pride. She is very loving towards Cass, who she considers her cub and will often try to mother her. Being a cat, even a large cat, she can be standoffish with strangers, but will warm to people if she feels Cass accepts them as friends. Still, being a cat, she could be snarky more often than not, but she is extremely loyal to those she considers her pride.

History - Ganesha was a couple years shy out of cubhood when she was poached from her home in the savanna. She was fully grown and already a deadly huntress and killer, but somehow found herself waking up in a cage without remembering falling asleep. In fact the last thing she did remember was stalking her pray in the savanna. When she woke up she was very confused, frightened and at the same time, enraged. She knew she was robbed of her freedom. Still she was well looked after. She was fed regularly and even let out to walk freely within a confined area. She tried to escape a couple of times. She remembered mauling a couple of her captors in the process, but she always woke up in the familiar cage unharmed.
Little by little Ganesha began to understand the situation she was in a little better. She would observe keenly everything while she was awake and sometimes she would notice changes within her after she awoke.
She couldn't have known then, but she was part of the preparatory stage of the splice project. The scientists needed enhanced animal DNA to cook up the cocktail they would need for the splicing with human DNA. Little by little her mental abilities were enhanced until the point where, via the help of implanted mechanical voice emulator, she was even able to speak. It took a considerable time, of course, teaching speech to an animal. Even an enhanced one such as Ganesha. But she was a lioness, and a survivor. And she knew that learning meant survival.
A few years into the project she started noticing a change in the behavior of her captors. She was still well cared for. She was fed regularly and still allowed to roam freely the huge closed off yard. But it seemed like the attention of the scientists had shifted. Ganesha feared what might happen to her and the other animals within the project if their captors lost interest in them all together.
Plucked out of their natural habitats, experimented on, enhanced and possibly made even more dangerous there was no way they would be allowed to live after they'd served their purpose.
Ganesha was right to fear the scientists' intentions. After they were successful in splicing the human subjects with the enhanced animal DNA cocktail, most of the animals were disposed off. Ganesha and some of the larger animals were kept for further experimentation and with the idea to be used with military purposes.
Fortunately for Ganesha one of the scientist had taken a liking to her and after the project was discontinued had bought her off and taken her to his home to be his companion in his retirement. He was an eccentric old kook, but Ganesha was grateful to him. He'd saved her from a fate she dared not imagine. She'd lived with him for 30 something years when he'd come home one day from his travels with a female companion in her mid thirties. He'd introduced her to Ganesha as Cassidy. He'd also explained to Ganesha that he was old and ill and that he didn't want to leave her knowing that she would be left on her own. He also told her what this Cassidy was. That she was one of the kids they'd made, using the results of the experiments done on her and the other animals.
At first Ganesha was unaccepting of Cassidy. She loved her old kook and even though she knew he was right and that he would leave her soon, she still didn't like the feeling of being handed off to this young cub.
But the more Cass came to visit, the more Ganesha grew to like her. The girl was open, honest, still rough around the ages, but good at heart. She cared for the old man and for her as well. And when the time came for the old kook to begin his new journey, the two of them sent him off and Ganesha willingly followed Cassidy.

Equipment - Ganesha has no real need for equipment. What she needs during hunts is already a part of her armor. Namely a camera that transmits to Cassidy's visor and a radio receiver. She has an implanted voice emulator, which is also linked to Cass' coms. /Tech-y people, help. What would be a not too op transmission range for the camera and the signal from her VE - voice emulator, if they are used mainly during hunts?/ When not in combat, her VE is set to out-loud speech.

Ship - N/A

Extras - Ganesha can not only speak, but read. She is of what is considered mid to high human intelligence. She still retains her animal instincts and for the most part behavior, but she has acquired some human-esque behavior as well. She is a keen strategist and enjoys playing strategy games /even though I myself don't so not sure how I'm gonna RP that /

[Thread Generator SIN]

@ihinkaBest strategy game would be chess...since I imagine most others would be hard to play with paws. Makes sense since lions are all about tactical positioning. Lions hunt in formation, positioning themselves around herds of prey in a way to corral them in the direction the want, allowing them to separate slower or weaker individuals who fall behind. The sheet looks good to me.
