[OOC] Metroid: Final Protocol

[AlternateMan]

Mmmmm. Might have to think a bit about it.
It's not like Ferra IV is our first destinaton, right?

....right?

[FalloutJack]

@AlternateMan I suppose the real question is whether that's the next link in the chain, and if the first link in the chain is still a link at all.

[AlternateMan]

Oh well.
At least I'll have fun thinking up stuff.

[FalloutJack]

@AlternateMan Definitely do that. I thought of a plot point that makes the creatures of different worlds relevent. Also, post your profile in the character section. I think we established that it's good to go.

[AlternateMan]

Posted on the cs section.

I think one of our boss fights will be a giant sandworm.
Who hates fighting a giant creature that comes out of the sandy ground and chucks rocks at you? We’ll be totally fine.

[FalloutJack]

@AlternateMan It's funny, because I figured having to fight some Serris-varients hopping in and out of sand was gonna happen. The X do tend to replicate.

[AlternateMan]

I shouldn't have said that
Hmmmmmmm.
That sounds dreadful.

[EnterTheHero]

Still working on my CS post. Thanks for your patience.

[GarlandChaos]

Likewise. I still have some sections to fill out and some kinks to work out.

[FalloutJack]

@EnterTheHero@GarlandDaHero You two are the last, right? Once your sheets are complete, we will begin.

[EnterTheHero]

Federation File: "Scathach"

Name: ???/"Scathach"
Alias: The Blackwing Hunter
Age: Unknown
Gender: Female
Species: Modified human/cyborg
Occupation: Bounty hunter
Residence: Homeworld unknown. Spends most of her time on her ship, "Spear of Lugh."

Physical Description: Tall, slim, athletic. Short-cropped blonde hair, golden irises with black sclera, and sharp angular features. Subject's arms and legs have been replaced with cyber-prostheses. In armor, subject appears dressed in a hooded black longcoat with a mechanical mask (warning: suit material is much stronger than it appears). Often seen linked up with her "Seraph" drone, which resembles large, mechanical wings when connected to her armor.

Personality: Frustratingly vague and "mysterious." Enjoys playing up the fae aspect of her name, abilities, etc. Playful, arrogant, and mischievous, tends to be somewhat of a show-off on the job. Takes immense pride in her abilities and track record as a hunter. Has a mild obsession/addiction with physical modification, in order to enhance her already formidable capabilities as a bounty hunter. Subject appears to hold great respect for fellow bounty hunter Samus Aran, bordering on outright hero worship.

Equipment/Cabilities:

• Heliokinesis- Gene therapy using alien genetic material has granted her the genetic donor's abilities in generating and controlling fusion and plasma.
• Prominence Drive- An experimental fusion reactor implanted within the subject, designed to help augment and properly harness her already-existing heliokinetic abilities.
• Fusion Scythes- Plasma emitters housed in her arms and legs allow her to project energy blades from her elbows, wrists, knees, and feet.
• Seraph Apparatus- An experimental wingsuit, stolen and modified for the subject's use. The wing/thruster part of the apparatus can be separated from the rest of the armor, operated through implanted neural transmitter as an independent drone, for the purposes of recon and air support. Modifications to the apparatus have linked it to the subject's implanted Prominence Drive, boosting its thrust capabilities and also allowing the wings of the apparatus to be cloaked in plasma, turning them into deadly cutting weapons while in flight.
• Razor-class Transport- Larger than the standard bounty hunter's gunship, with a significant portion of the ship's space being used as living quarters for its pilot. Comes equipped with plasma-and-fusion-based weaponry, advanced medical/repair bay, small workshop/fabrication suite, armory, etc.

History: No one is quite sure of when Scathach showed up on the bounty hunter scene- she merely showed up one day, completing assignments at an inhuman pace, usually bounties, assassinations, or seek-and-destroy missions. As her renown grew, so too did her arrogance, leading her to ever greater (and ever less legal) avenues of proving her superiority. As seen by her cybernetics, she is not always successful in such avenues, though she certainly has more wins than losses on her record.

Recently, however, her luck has run out, as the Federation has caught up to her for her various thefts of their experimental technology (the Prominence Drive and the Seraph Apparatus, in particular). However, given the present circumstances in the outer reaches of Federation space, there may be a way for the hunter to earn her freedom, if she can survive long enough to pull it off...

Hey there. As I said - in the wrong place - I'm interested in joining this if you still have place and would be interested in another member.

Before writing it I would like to make sure if my character's idea is acceptable. It's actually simple.

I wanted to re-create a character I had for a Metroid RP I did once, a while back: A Federation soldier wearing a Powered Suit designed for long distance combat. AI-assisted Enhanced Aiming with a mounted gun.

Also, the first time I created her she had access to Samus' previously scanned database and worked with it and on completing it with new datas, since the first RP was more based on Metroid Prime. I'd scrap the part where she has access to Samus' databases, since that has to do with the 3D Metroid., However would it be far fetched to have her kind of be a on-the-side scientist and interested/tasked with keeping track of anything that could interest the Federation? Lifeforms, materials and what not. Since we'd probably visit many planets?

[AlternateMan]

Awesome wings, awsome spaceship, awesome power.
I should’ve considered giving Vekt power to... I don’t know, create rocks and slide over them in the air?

[FalloutJack]

@SimpleWriter So, a military scientist in armor with essentially a Predator Plasmacaster kind of setup, then?

[SimpleWriter]

....Kiiinda? When you make it sound like that... xD

I would imagine you have something planned for the squad to get together, so she could be assigned to it directly by the federation?

[FalloutJack]

@SimpleWriter That is correct. I allowed for those being assigned and those being hired. Go ahead and make a profile.

@EnterTheHero BTW, yours is fine, Hero.

[EnterTheHero]

@FalloutJack Thanks!

[GarlandChaos]

@FalloutJack

Sorry for taking so long; writer's block is hitting me HARD. I'll be sure to hunker down and finish writing the CS once I can work up the energy/motivation to.

[SimpleWriter]

This would be it :^)
Or at least a first draft
------------
Name: Amber Haus
Alias: 'Freya'
Age: 29
Gender: Female
Species: Human
Occupation: Special Force
Residence: Federation Space

Physical Description: Amber is your average soldier: solid and healthy build. Her green eyes come paired with red hair that she keep just long enough to get in a ponytail. About 5'8, she would have a human's average height.

Personality: Despite her military career, Amber can be described as a kind soul. While her military training makes sure that she shouldn't be underestimated, she prefers a non-violence approach as well as studying lifeforms instead of outright destroying them if and when possible.

However, her loyalty to the Federation and orders given come before any of that, and she's done things before that went against her normal self - not that she would boast about it.

Equipment/Cabilities:

AI2A-AMY Power Suit
Artificial Intelligence for Assisted Aiming

First prototype of it's class, a Power Suit outfitted with a multipurpose AI made mainly for aim assistance and mounted with a very large and powerful laser rifle specialized in long to extreme distance fighting.

- At rest, the rifle looks like a very large antenna mounted behind the right shoulder. When deployed, it pivot and aim forward, extended it's canon outward and giving hand grips to the shooter.

- Precise and powerful piercing shots over massive distances.

- The AI, named Amy, aid to the aiming of the rifle through complex algorithms as well spotting, scanning and providing information on possible targets.

- The suit itself come with a jet pack engine that allow for quick movements and better access to good firing positions. It auto recharges autonomously over short periods.

- The suit has a Drone implemented in the left shoulder area that, controlled by the AI Amy, can detach and fly away. It's primary use from a military point of view was scouting, but it is outfitted to be able to provide assistance to the suit bearer in a multitude of ways from scanning to hacking and analyzing samples.

History:

Amber grew up on stories coming from the borders of the Federation space and colonies. Stories of brave colonists from many different species. Of strange worlds being discovered one after the other and, of course, of bounty hunters. Growing up, they were what little kids looked up to in all matters of adventures. A sensation.

The biggest sensation was one bounty hunter known as Samus Aran, of course. While not much was actually known on her, Amber still looked up to her. She grew up looking at the stars, and hoped to explore them all.

Growing up, she's lost some of that sense of wonder but none of her will to discover things: an accomplished biologist and researcher, she entered the Federation Military academy where she distinguished herself faster than some and earned her a spot at Special Forces. «

Amber's years with the Federation caused a complete shift of opinion on bounty hunters - especially Samus. Seeing her now as a traitor to the federation, Amber gladly accepted the task the Federation proposed her: Search for the Bounty Hunter and possibly bring her back.

[FalloutJack]

@SimpleWriter As a first draft, it's alright, but I definitely want to see the finished product. One bit of advice: Don't force her to stay in one place to fire the gun. I can understand if that will hamper accuracy, but I believe your AI is to compensate for that so that you can at least hit targets on the run if you have to. Also, you might consider having a drone for scouting areas, since you have decent AI functions.
