Hey! XD Am I too late to join?

@Inkwell

Well Kuro okayed a Gauntlet mounted flamethrower on our PM, so I imagine Exotic is anything unconventional. There are energy weapons here, after all, so the limits are to a degre dominated by your own creativity.

I'd hazard to guess that grenades thrown by hand could be lumped into a general Throwing Weapon catagory, while Grenade and Rocket Launchers are there own weapons.

[Kuroyomihime]

Besides energy weapons what counts as exotic?
Also what counts as explosive is it just grenades or do grenade launchers and rpgs fall under the same category?

I'm just asking because I'm making and Exotic weapons character that also uses explosives.

@kuroyomihime

@Inkwell

Pretty much what @Lonewolf685 said. Anything that's not included in the other categories (flamethrowers, bows and crossbows, whips, etc.) is an Exotic weapon.

That said, grenade launchers and RPGs are Explosives, like pretty much any man-portable weapon what can fire explosive projectiles, regardless of being self propelled or not.

Items like Grenades, mines and explosive charges are consumables, they don't really need weapon skills to use, but may need other skills to be effective, like Trap Making and Demolition.

Also, be aware that Exotic Weapons need a skill for every weapon, not for the whole category.

Ooh~ *is interested*

Hey! XD Am I too late to join?

@13org

More or less.

There was a surprising number of interested people in the Interest Check, as well as people who came in after the main thread was created, and not all of them had time to do their Characters yet. I'll wait for a few more days, to see if the ones who have shown interest will finalize their characters.

After that process is done, I can take more applications. If you are still interested, you can take a place on the waiting list. Check again in a week or so, if there are vacant spots, you are welcome to join.

I hope that was a good enough explanation. Thanks.

@Kuroyomihime

Thanks for your reply! It's all good. I've been looking for an interesting RP but I missed the interest check post about this one T___T

If a spot opens up, please tell me! I would love to join! :-)

Sure.

*: A note for everyone. What is defined as very rare advanced sci fi equipment are basically just energy-based weaponry, railguns, power armors and other other items like personal force field generators. In other words, just items that grant really powerful combat-related bonuses.

Items such as active camouflage coats (as long as they aren't more efficient than MGS4's OctoCamo), vibroblades, drones, light exoskeletons, etc., are rare but high level players have a chance of coming across them every now and them, either on dungeons or the black market. For these reasons, they are more likely to be accepted.

This is just a heads up in case anyone wants to include some more exotic items on their builds but aren't aware of how far you can push the limits.

She's generally an oprotunist flanker. Despite seemingly having overwhelming firepower on her side, she knows two people with guns out-points one any day (unless they're scrubs) and will generally avoid direct confrontation. That said, her skillset does make her a viable "pointman" at lower difficulties, she is often loathe to perform such tasks in a party, which has ostricized her from many other groups wishing for either a speedier "rabbit-flanker" or a steadier pointman.

I may just try replacing the normal rain-poncho with an active-camo variety.

Ryuko

Real World Character

---

• Name: Ryuko Asagi
• Age: 20
• Gender Female

• Appearance: Fresh out of high school and with nothing better to do, Ryuko’s style of wear is casual at the best and lazy at the worst. With moderate to low income thanks to her hobby turned occupation, she’s usually found in whatever outfit she finds lying around. It’s not like she goes out much anyway. When all else fails, she still has her various school uniforms over the years, though they’ve seen better days thanks frequent to “fan requests”.

• Biography: For as long as she could remember, Ryuko found herself obsessed with the Internet. From its earlier pioneer days to the business it would eventually become in the year 2025, Ryuko’s fascination with the ephemeral entity almost outdoes her laziness. Almost. Slugging through school was a chore. Couldn’t she just get a job being a star on the web? Youtube was always an addictive past time for her so by the end of high school’s graduation, she had decided to devote herself fully to the pastime.

She had hoped to one day surpass her favorite Youtube celebrity, the infamous gamer in Gun Burst Online known as Black Bullet. Ryuko swore one day she’d make gaming videos of that kind of caliber and that the world would come to recognize her greatness. Only…making engaging content is harder than she thought. Especially for the low-minded Ryuko. Nowadays she wastes away in her own place, occasionally crashing many a night with her childhood friend, Koga Ooe.

Together the two strive to make quality content on Youtube. This usually ranges from fan request videos, “commentary” of relevant topics happening in Japan and of course, streams of Gun Burst Online. Though frankly, Ryuko’s garnered a bit of a…quirky fanbase be it by her desire to be cool and stylish in GBO or her abrupt personality. Still, anything is to be sacrificed when wanting to be the best. And Ryuko only strives to be number one.

Gun Burst Online Character

---

• Name: Gudako
• Gender: Female
• Level Level 90

• Appearance: Gudako sports an outfit similar to her IRL self, though with specific modifications and choices to be battle-ready. Rumor has it she originally wore an orange jumpsuit and happily showed it off before her fanbase deemed it too tacky and not befitting of GBO’s gritty nature. It took some time to buy a new attire of course, but supposedly she still has the jumpsuit on hand. Maybe she’ll use it for the 100th episode giveaway of whatever show she’s trying to do next.

• Style: There’s only one way to gain people’s attention; by pulling off crazy sick stunts and stylish moves! Following in the footsteps of infamous gamer Black Bullet, Gudako has devoted her skill set to be the flashiest action ever filmed on screen. That’s what the people want and she’s more than happy to oblige for her videos. As such, her fighting style consists of a lot of maneuverability with her evasion, sick Gunkata skills, and fancy gun motions too fast for her fingers.

• Weapons:

• Semi-Automatic M1911
• Semi-Automatic M1911
• Sawn-Off Remington 870 Shotgun
• Ballistic Knife
• 5 M67 Grenades

• Specs:

• Improved Reflexes - Improves Avatar's reaction time.
• Improved Speed - Improves Avatar's movement speed.
• Trigger Happy - Improves Avatar's finger speed.
• Gun Whipping - Allows Avatar to use heavier firearms as flexible melee weapons.
• Two-Time - Allows Avatar to shoot in different directions simultaneously with handguns.
• Charge Shot - Allows Avatar to charge any gun's shot with a sacrifice of 5% health.
• Aerodynamic - Increases Avatar's balance and handling of extreme vehicles.

• Skills:

• Handguns - 1000/1000
• Dodge Roll - 1000/1000
• Gun-Kata - 999/1000
• Extreme Vehicle - 888/1000
• Shotgun- 500/1000

• Other - 413 Leftover

• Inventory:

• Sherbet, her personal hoverboard.
• In-Game camera able to record via livestream or for later editing.
• In-Game clip-on microphone for better audio quality.
• Her old jumpsuit outfit. Supposedly.
• 5,405 Credits

Theme

Last Friday Night

In the virtual world, only the roar of bullets served function as answers to questions. Marked by their crack against the air, disputes were settled with battle and blood. Thus, it was natural to drown the swift shouts with more blasphemous shots in the dark, their chortled denials suddenly ending in meaty thuds. And standing among the dust and scattered red was the flowing coat of their perpetrator.
A smile most sinister curved their players and the dance of death began.

Fingers pulled triggers at impossible speeds while a symphony of charged metal gave light to the darkness. In those brief spurts of light was illuminated the grinning figure in the dusk, red in sight even in this lowlight.
Like a demon possessed their arms fired off impossible shots, ending the lives of any who approached them from all angles. When one got through their endless defense, it was not because of their own lack of skill. Rather, the GBO player allowed them passage into their sights.

The ground seemed to crack from their leap to the sky, slamming back down to Earth with a hard crunch of their boots. The unlucky victim beneath them lay twitching for a few moments more before bullets silenced all their protests. More were pinned down in this manner, more gave feckless pleas to the end of their suffering, to try and reason with the red beast. All ended up much the same, spurting out entrails of a graphic origin.

Red pixels burst like confetti under the pressure each shot gave, while others found themselves in a sort of half-way transition towards death. After all, no shot was guaranteed, and some were messy enough to have the in-game graphics mesh with the crystalized particles of the deceased, further marring their helpless corpses.

Broken and lifeless, each one fell like ragdolls, gunfire polluting the air while a noise akin to shattered glass rang in the night. The ever confident and moving bloodstain sifted like a shadow, aimless in their massacre without rhyme or reason-

“Geez this is kind of brutal,” Ryuko said aloud, temporarily taken out of the gameplay footage scrolling on her screen. Darkness had also enveloped the real world with only the artificial glare of her phone to light the way. Tossing and turning for a better position, Ryuko decided to lay on her stomach before drawing her attention back to the digitalized gore.
“I know it’s a game but you could have gone easy on them Black Bullet,” she said into her phone, not even blinking as she hit the replay button. Again. For the tenth time already Once again the curtains were drawn and the night began with the lone figure standing in dust and solitude. It was horrific, a little bit shameful, maybe even cheating, and-

“A hell yeah assurance to my fame,” said Ryuko. Her eyes never widened from their original stance but a manic grin matching Black Bullet’s was sported. “Look at those moves and that badass flare. I bet they’ve got millions of people watching their videos,” she said, unliking the video before liking again seconds after.

“I bet they’ve got lots of people watching her. And that’s gonna be me. It will be me,” she mumbled in mantra, suddenly exiting the app from her phone to actually use it. A few dials and soft seconds later, Ryuko was left laying on her back with the same smile aimed at the ceiling. “Roach you up? Good. I’m coming over to make me famous!”

“Roach” was rudely awakened by a call from two in the morning.

@Devol I had to change my character's username because of you.

Real World Character

Name: Ryuki Howa

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Appearance: Ryuki stands at 170.7 cm (5.5 ft), and is of slightly lighter than average build. His skin is perpetually pale and never seems to burn or tan. He has a few scars on his body, but does his best to keep them covered up.

Short Bio: Ryuki's never been anything special, in his opinion. His parents had a messy divorce when he was eight years old, and he hasn't heard from his father for almost five years now. Since then Ryuki retreated into himself, doing his best to avoid other people outside of school and his family. Eventually he took to gaming, and made small amounts of money in FPS tournaments. His mother worries about him, and knows that Ryuki has next to no social skills beyond what's applicable to a school setting.

Gender: Female

Level: 90

Skills: - Rifle Skill MAX

Specs: - Improved Speed x1
- Improved Reflexes x2
- Improved Strength x1

Signature Weapon/Combat Style: Tries to be as much of an all-rounder as possible, but prefers to keep opponents at medium range, preferring to utilize weapons that (in the real world) would be classified as assault rifles, battle rifles, or designated marksman rifles. Kaida's preferred weapon at the moment is the RDB rifle, equipped with a holographic hybrid sight, with a SR-PDW-K SMG as a secondary, equipped with a reflex sight (and a custom reticle). Aside from that, she quite enjoys sneaking up on enemies from behind and dispatching them with her combat knife.

- 70 Photonic Crystals
- RDB rifle (Holographic Hybrid sight equipped)
- SR-PDW-K SMG (Reflex Sight equipped)
- Combat knife

Sample PostKaida sighed, exiting the testing range. The weapons from the release she'd missed hadn't felt right. Recoil that was hard to predict, even with attachments and Specs, wonky damage modifiers for the head and neck, hitboxes you could aim at the broad side of a barn and still miss every shot, and iron sights that would be a pain to use until an optic was unlocked were definitely a turn-off. Definitely a waste of credits and Photonic Crystals. "Aren't event releases supposed to be good?" she huffed. Those had to be bugs in the release, and would probably be fixed soon, but Kaida was still in an off mood.

"I suppose I should log out," she muttered to herself. "Mom'll be pissed if I'm in the game all day." Kaida opened up the interface, and tapped the "Logout" button.

Ryuji blinked, sitting up on his bed, taking the VR headset off. He'd been in-game for almost six hours. "Definitely could've been doing something better than wasting creds and crystals," he grumbled. The young man stood up, put his glasses on, and took a moment to test his body. There were downsides in such an immersive VR game to crossplaying. It didn't help that Kaida in-game was roughly thirteen centimeters shorter than his real body. It wasn't anything to worry about as long as he took a minute or two to let his body adjust. It was some sort of side effect that hadn't been worked out.

Unlike that release, that bug is in the human brain, Ryuji thought. Can't reprogram it, just have to learn to live with it.

Misc: - Very much used to being a solo player, and it tends to show.
- Has made a small amount of cash by participating in video game tournaments, and his typical username is known in some circles. However, ninety-nine out of a hundred times he'll choose to play as a female character if possible for... reasons. This has led to more than one awkward situation online.
- Loves music, and is never seen IRL without his headphones.

Your character is ok as well. However, I'd appreciate if you eliminate some of those excessive hiders. Like I said before, if you are already using hiders, you don't need to use so many of them at once.
