At an untold time of prosperity and peace, the first of the gates opened. Unleashing otherworldly creatures into the world, humanity was caught off guard as all manner of beasts and monsters poured into cities. What would have been tragedy turned into triumph as man quickly fought back. Those monsters had been pushed back into the gates they came from. Not settled with just that, man struck at the very heart the monsters came from. By venturing into the gates, man found an otherworldly energy trapped within this other world. A time of great advancement with materials from this other world.

But that era has since passed.

Now fueled by a symbiotic relationship with these gates, life has changed. The gates still remain a threat, mankind has taken to walled cities and artificial islands leaving their old cities abandoned and fallen to disrepair. No longer does the military sortie into the other world. Instead, those willing to brave the danger for wealth dive in headfirst using special equipment: Cross Gears. Empowered weapons capable of doing the impossible created from science and otherworldly materials.

Only one question remains: how much can you earn?

Entirely customizable. They're usually the size of one's palm as they're non-combatants, but I'm not going to limit reasonable change. They're only a black box as in the black box of a plane. In the event of emergency, they can be used to figure out what happened. The design of them can vary significantly, depending on age, manufacturer, after-market upgrades, or just someone shoving every single sticker they find onto one.

For sure want to see more examples before I can finalize my character. I'm a little sketchy on what kinds of effects the AEGIS can have, how being a Holder factors into that, exactly what an ID is, what kind of extraneous equipment we're allowed to have, and how wild we can get with our Cross Gears.

Here's the obligatory sword boi with a heavy drawback that is making the mistake of going to college. For clarification, bodysuit is basically RPG light armor in terms of the protection it gives.

Think of an AEGIS being like an EXP system from an RPG. The type of AEGIS you have (specializing in vitality, strength, speed, etc) are all different stat growths. They're essentially passive boosts to your body that increase as you fight. They have to be installed in a surgical process unlike a holder.

Holders are naturally born with something similar to the AEGIS system. It's less efficient, but lets them use codes (re: drinking up neon blood goo to gain magic spells). Holders don't require any surgery to get that EXP system; they're born with it instead. The downside of being one is that you are generally weaker (physically; you have spells) for the same effort.

An ID refers to any device that allows for using your codes/spells. Think a futuristic version of wands and staves, except coming in the form of armbands, gloves, really anything your character would want. Since codes are so complex, an ID is generally required to cast any form of spell. Think of it as a massive source code held in the genetic goo. Just reading it all at once to figure it out is prone to errors and would take hours. An ID, like a computer, could do it instantly.

As a general rule of thumb, a cross gear is always going to be better than anything gear. Your character can have any equipment that they see fit to use. Most equipment still follows the "empowered on the other world" rule, since they're usually made out of the otherworldly materials.

And WILD AS FUCK BOIIII. As long as you can call it a weapon, I'd probably be fine with it.

Thank you. I believe that means we've got a perfect stamina - speed - power RPG trio. Now we just need our wizard.

Faceclaim updated, and with a few minor changes to Michael's equipment and character in general. Made his special targeting thingy like VATS from Fallout. Hit that like button if everything's still fine to port over.

I was mad at myself for not realizing the parallels sooner.
