Capn Can I be your human resources officer/bodyguard who never loses a fight? Could be cybernetic

[GingerBoi123]

@Fabricant451I just checked, it is xD

[Ruiner]

@MissCapnCrunch
I'm currently in Hawaii and not near my computer, I'll do my best to get the CS finished today but I cant promise anything, and I got a 12 hour flight tomorrow, so worst case scenario I'll get it done monday night/Tuesday morning

[DClassified]

who never loses a fight?

@role model

That's an interesting way to phrase it.

[role model]

Some one who has had their ass kicked over and over, that they needed surgery big time and ended up with a cybernetic hand, or maybe their entire arm. LOL

[GingerBoi123]

@role modelI don't think the cybernetic part is what he had issue with. Your character can't simply "never lose"... even with cybernetics, y'know?

[role model]

I was going to ask Capn if she wanted an entourage, myself being the pack leader. I got to carry a gun or something.

[DClassified]

Yeah, that's all cool and everything like that. No issue here. I was just making a probing statement to see what your thoughts were. XP

[GingerBoi123]

@role modelRight but... what you also said in your question was essentially can my guy never lose. You can't make an unbeatable character

[role model]

Emm… I have to get permission from the GM before I can get allowed to be her security patrol. I am not all about beating every body. I would have to go out in the field and sign folks to MARCO. If there's new people, I would have to orchestrate bring them in to get their implant. I would have to keep up tabs on everybody. Things like that.

[Ruiner]

Also, when I talk about cybernetics, This is the kind of stuff I'm talking about

[Ruiner]

Appropo of nothing of what yall talking about, just wanted a visual example to help.

[role model]

That's horror technology I was thinking of that AJAX guy from DC comics

[Ruiner]

My guy is just meat overplayed a titanium skeleton and a mini reactor for a heart, softies just go "Sqwunch" when ya hit em too hard, it's just science.

[Cleverbird]

@MissCapnCrunchI see a lot of talk about what essentially boils down to cyberpunk, is that the theme we're going for here? Cybernetics and all that jazz?

[role model]

I don't know what cyberpunk is. From the little I've seen it's Terminator and also what Ruiner linked.

@role model

It's a type of sci-fi genre.

Deus Ex, Shadowrun, Cyberpunk 2077, Ghost in the Shell, Bladerunner... Anything that lets you swap out limbs or organs for cybernetic variants (that often perform better) usually falls under the moniker of Cyberpunk.

@Cleverbird

The overall theme is not cyberpunk, no (at least not what I wanted). I have been allowing it for some characters because there are technical advances but it's definitely not the overall "theme" I was going for. A lot of people in this community barely have a pot to piss in, and the only "tech" they have is their government issued ID which is an implant/tattoo. On the other end of the spectrum there could be people with tons of cybernetics in them but it all comes at a price $$$

Does that help things at all?

[Bazmund]

Work in progress, feel free to give me some feedback if you'd like to. I'll do my best to finish it tomorrow, it's just 2:30am here at the moment and I need to work tomorrow.

Appearance Details: The former staff sergeant sports a tall and wiry athletic build, standing at about 6"0, bound with deceptively dense muscle and sinew. His hair is dense, thick, and untidy, dotted with streaks of grey and white. His eyes seem to dart constantly between any company he keeps, the door of the room they're in, and his own gun.

Tattoos, Piercings, Scars, Other: The left side of his face and head is peppered with streaks and dots of scar tissue from a fragmentation grenade explosion at medium range some years ago. His left arm bears a MARCO Security Solutions division tattoo, complete with regiment name, rank and serial number, and medical identifier - to be specific, the original insignia is a kite shield of blue and white, bearing a black sword crossed with a black hammer in front of it, all upon a field of cross-hatching. It used to glow thanks to implanted NanoLEDs, but no longer, as the entire design has been crossed out with a pair of scars inflicted with a kitchen knife. The term 'EOD' is still identifiable, however. His right arm is also tattooed with a full sleeve of cultural design, utterly covered with the intricate interlocking branches of an oak tree in an old celtic design. In minute text between some of the branches text in Welsh can be seen. Even Sharp doesn't know what it says.

Brand/ID Tattoo Placement: Left wrist, integrated with the regimental sleeve tattoo of the MARCO Marines.

Assets and Bank Account: Disseminated throughout a number of small private accounts with various different smaller banks, a grand total of 3000$ worth of currency can be found. A further $3K is stored in secure, intricately and paranoiacally trapped lockboxes, buried (or sunk into water) in a variety of discreet locations in Korven. In some of these lockboxes additional assets such as fake IDs or weapons can be found, but that's hardly reliable. For a lot of this, Sharp wasn't sober - either hopped up on combat stims, or in the depths of the paranoia. There may honestly even be boxes he doesn't remember and didn't record, containing money that is entirely lost to him.

---

Gang Affiliation: Sharp takes exceptional care to avoid antagonising either of the gangs, or being seen as favouring one or the other, at all. For him, the Kings are too overtly violent and unpredictable - even if this, in its own way, made them all too predictable - to be around. Their constant displays of bravado, their concept of face and honour and standing, it makes them prone to acting irrationally and finding people to blame. People like Sharp. The Pure are almost - but only almost - worse; their religious fanaticism and their obsession with subtlety make them equally dangerous and potentially much harder to plan for, and their involvement in the trade of humans, in part or in whole, is more than even Sharp will tolerate.

Occupation: Former MARCO Security Solutions explosive ordinance disposal specialist - informally, the MARCO Marines - and currently a private detective of sorts operating in both Korven and Eden (the latter more limitedly) out of a ramshackle office in the inner part of the Korven sanction. Nobody ever visits this office, of course, as it is wired to all fuck with explosives. After all, they're probably still looking for him, there's no way they don't know he survived.

Sanction: Permanent residence(s) in Korven, limited operations in Eden, under a false name and identification.

Favorite Season: Early autumn. The growing smell of decay and the increased rainfall, paired with decreased temperature leading to reduced diffusion of particulate matter through the air as a result, means that tracking via olfactory and thermal detection is more difficult. If you can't be tracked, you can't be found, killed, dismembered, and disposed of.

Sorry for no recent activity. I’ve been staying with a pal in Liverpool and I’ve had no chance to get anything done on the character sheet.
