Strictly speaking lightening a weapon reduces its stability, it has less weight to work against the weapons kick.

XCELL Visor Mk.I: One of the newfangled device, overlaying on the user's vision a HUD, with custom renameable markers, new ability to take HD pictures and videos, sillhouette ID matching for convenience when tagging with the markers, MP3 player, customizable tint color on the go, and several choices of frame colors, and last but not least, a fashionable bag to keep it in when not in use.Also comes with a brand new motion detector integrated.

You could just call it a salvaged Google Glass :p

I'm not convinced as to the functionality there.

James' Upgrades

Weapon Mod: Target-Tracker Scope
Custom Weapon Mod: Computer Integrated 40mm grenade launcher attachment - A grenade launcher that is integrated with the Target-Tracker Scope. The Scope provides target information such as distance, trajectory, and etc. to the launcher and the shooter. This then enables the grenade to be timed and allow it to explode at a certain desired point of its flight. Pretty much, it's a computer assisted grenade launcher.

Combat Training Upgrade: HE Training
Additional Combat Training: Damned Fine Aim
Manifest Destiny: Mechanized Adaptions

I present Eira's new mech!

Justice, Active.

Designation: Justice.
Size: Small.
Occupants: One.
General Description: Average sized. Pilot chamber in torso with surrounding protection. Entrance through rear of mech. Front of mech has detachable protective armour; when removed, reveals glass pane with sight for head and bust. Can be removed from outside through spin-valve, easier to remove with pressure triggers inside pilot chamber.
Equipment:

Left Arm: .50 Calibre Rapid Fire.
Left Shoulder: HE Missiles.
. . . Ammo Pack.
Right Arm: .50 Calibre Rapid Fire.
Legs: Jump Jets.
Torso: Detachable Medium Armour.
. . . Pilot Chamber.
. . . Reinforced Ammo Feed.
. . . Emergency Life Support System.
. . . Floodlights.
Top:Standard Scanning Package.

Automated Systems: The mech can be given simple commands to follow with or without its pilot in the cockpit, such as strobing floodlights, maintaining balance, and repeat fire at a designated location. In addition, it uses sensors to determine whether or not to activate the ELSSys.

Upgrades?

• Two left shoulder slots.


• Detachable medium armour. Basically, if something tries to pull her mech or tear it apart or whatever, it has a layer of armour on each section that can be detached. (It need not be detached all at once.) Once all of the armour has been removed, either by her or by the enemy, Justice becomes a Light Mech.


• Automated Systems. Adds some sensors and allows Eira to give the mech harder-to-maintain commands that it will continue to do even if she leaves the scene. EDIT: In conjunction with gloves, allows her to give similar basic commands while near mech. Not full capabilities of course, just "start shooting" or "strobe lights" or such, no running, and aiming flimsy.

As for companion, I've yet to decide on a name, but here's my idea for function.

Something in a shape similar to that of an armadillo, with a mixture of the function of a couple species. That is, armoured exterior, rolls in a ball, but when staying in one place, lays very much flat on the ground with all its protective gear on top. It can crawl forward without losing protection, but is very slow. When flat, not easily noticeable, and grips whatever is beneath it. Most vulnerable while switching positions. It has two functions.

• It has a camera and sound sensors, for which Eira has a small portable screen and headphones. (She can set up the screen in her mech too.)


• It can self-destruct with a very powerful explosion.

Predatory Instinct
--Hidden in Plain Sight (Rank 2): A twofold mutation, this allows the ghost to retract and/or hide their features, generally with clothing. So long as clothing can fit, they can hide their true nature from regular humans until the time comes that they grow too powerful to hide their nature. The second half, which remains with them forever, is a greater chance to escape the sight of enemies engaging the Ghost, allowing them to engage from stealth, then retreat back into stealth once more. Enemies will have the tendency to fail to notice them, or fail to pursue in the correct direction. Some believe this to be subtle psychic emanations, others that the Ghost simply gained a lot of luck with this mutation. None can be certain. (Ability to hide true nature until a certain threshold is crossed, greater chance of escaping attention and going back into hiding, better at detecting the psychic emanations of other mutants.)

Razor Wings is approved.

Random Mutation
State of Veritas: After surviving a near death experience, Kiku's mutations took a strange turn in twisting her nervous system, and more specifically, pain receptors. It quickly became apparent that Kiku gained the capacity to disable her pain receptors and continue on without fear of feeling pain, though she has no control over this effect: It can occur even when she is uninjured and out of harm's way. Strangely, she can also see 'ghosts'. Some are real people having had real conversations recently in that spot. Some are just hallucinations. Nobody is certain how this is even possible. (Hallucinations, random failures of the pain receptors.)

EDIT

This is all I could do today. I slept in late, dealing with some depression at the moment. I'll be back over the weekend though to kick ass, I'm sure.

[LimeyPanda]

Kiku's main sheet updated and Daniel post up. Rob, if you want me to edit anything, just say: I've taken a few liberties namely with a small church structure and assuming minor actions would be taken against Daniel for trashing his mech in what would likely be reported as a 'reckless move.'

So that means getting increased recoil for ease of handling? I'd get on that then.

Paris

Biographical Information

Name: Paris Rience
Age: 47
Sex: Male
Appearance: Rad links for rad people (Art by Angelitoon)
Paris stands at about 5'9"; a caucasian man with numerous scars including a pair of scratch marks across his face. With hollow, sharp features and short greying hair, he doesn't come across as the most cheerful of fellows.
History Type: European Mercenary (A little better on dealing damage, can usually find an escape route out of a terrible situation, generally distrusted by the majority, good at bluffing their way out of situations.)
Biography: Paris's parents were part of a group that decided the best way to survive the nuclear fallout was to grab as much food as they could and set up shop as far away from civilization as possible. The chosen location being deep into the wilds of Siberia. There were almost a dozen of them in total, with enough food to last decades at least.

Paris was born years later during a spout of desperate lust. Around the same time another couple gave birth to a boy named Marten. Being the only two kids in the group, they became close friends. There wasn't much to do in their little encampment. Read a few books, play checkers, and throw rocks at wildlife.

By the time Paris was around twenty, those decade's worth of food had been reduced to months worth. As food dwindled, tensions rose. Some argued they should stay and hunt for sustenance, others that they should scavenge from abandoned towns. In Paris's mind, the previous generation had become afraid and set in their old age. Too attached to the world they had been born into to face the world it had become. So he elected to leave and find out what kind of new world waited outside Siberia.

Over the course of a few weeks, he began ferreting food and fuel away in preparation for a secret departure. At the last second, he approached Marten to take his friend with him. Marten, after much arguing and convincing, agreed to leave his family and come along.

Taking an old jeep, the two made their way south-west into Europe proper and were almost immediately picked up by a roving band of mercenaries. Given the choice of taking a gun and making themselves useful or being shot and robbed, they chose to arm up. Over the next decade, the two bounced from band to band, as groups fell apart and reformed under a new banner.

While they learned some valuable skills from the constant infighting and warfare, the chaos wore them down and exhausted them. When word reached them of the far more stable Thirteen Colonies in North America, they once more began to plan an escape. A boat was repaired and slowly loaded with fuel and supplies over the course of months until it was ready to set out across the Atlantic.

On the night they meant to leave, however, the mercenary group they were currently involved with fell under attack. Paris made it to the boat, but Marten had disappeared along the way. Seeing the attacking forces draw ever closer, Paris waited for as long as he could before setting off on his own.

Storms harrassed across the ocean, and by the time he reached Chicago, his food had run out and he was on the verge of starvation. With little to no experience in anything else, he joined the Bunker Chicago Security in order to make a living.

Technical Information

Weapons:

Sniper Rifle - Good Old Marty
--Bigger is Better Calibre: Increasing the size of the bullet or firing chamber in a laser weapon to increase the overall damage output of that weapon. Crude, but efficient. (Increases damage.)
--Silencer: A simple silencer that reduces noise and muzzle flash of a firearm. It’s fairly ineffective on laser weapons, which have an easily sighted trail between firing point and target... (Noise/Light reduction on traditional firearms; little effect on laser weapons)
--Hi-Tech Scope (Night-vision): Attaches a scope to your weapon of choice which has night-vision installed. (Can be used with Infrared & Target-Tracker)
--Hollow-Cavity Bullets: Traditional rounds that are largely hollow, causing them to expand upon impact. This expansion maximizes tissue damage but also reduces penetration. (Drastically increases damage against organic targets; lowers penetrating power against armoured targets)

Advanced Training:

--GECKO: Your character has received training in the art of blending in with the terrain, moving quietly, and more. They are naturals at not being found, and vanishing into thin air where it counts. In places rife with physical cover or cover of darkness, or with sufficient distractions nearby, a Grunt can escape from plain sight and dart to another location to hide. (Stealth bonuses, allows a Grunt to sometimes escape from plain sight with sufficient prerequisites around.)
--Damned Fine Aim: A character with a natural tendency to hit targets in critical points if they stop, aim fully, exhale, and pull the trigger. If a character takes added time to line up a shot, they generally almost always hit that shot. (Greatly improved aim if time is taken to line up a shot instead of reaction firing at a target. Increases chance of hitting a weak point without knowing where it is. Decreases defense for that round.)
--Eagle Eyes, Eagle Ears: Having spent ages looking down scopes and looking for the finest of details, the Grunts who pursue tactical shooting find themselves learning tactical searching. These Grunts now come with one motion detection camera and two invisible laser tripwires, wirelessly connected to their radios to give them a warning beep if anything triggers them. They can be set up in seconds and are generally hard to spot, allowing for safe sniper nests to be set up. Atop this, they've also become more adept at passively spotting enemies hiding behind cover or who are using stealth technology, even stealth mutations, and doing this faster than the average person can. (Greater stealth detection, simple gadget.)
--A Soldier’s Wrath: There is nothing stronger than the bonds of brotherhood. Anytime an ally is hit and takes an injury as a result of that hit, this character will take a free shot at that enemy so long as there is clear line of sight to do so and it wouldn’t break stealth. If a shot can be feasible taken without breaking stealth, the shot is taken. If multiple weapons are equipped and some have special ammo limits, the ones without special ammo limits will be used instead. (Free reaction fire.)
--Manifest Destiny: Humanity has a knack for survival, for a variety of reasons. The first is their versatility: These Grunts have trained hard enough that they can wield any weapon masterfully and without penalty. The second is their numbers: These Grunts can radio in for artillery strikes or aerial support and generally can get at least one per mission. The third is their stubborn ingenuity: These Grunts have access to top of the line technology like Pilots to amplify their abilities, and have access to the same laboratories.
----Manifest Destiny Tech - Mobile Sensor Package: A hovering drone about the size of a football is at the disposal of the character. It carries no weapons, but what it does carry is intel; an array of sensors that feed directly into the visor of your character's armour. Directed by controls built into the Grunt's primary weapon, it has a battery life of a few hours.

Inventory

Weapons:

Combat Knife: The standard army combat knife. A design over a century old still more than effective enough to carry on into the future.

Standard Issue Council Pistol: Your standard issue, eighteen shot clip pistol provided to nearly everyone in the bunkers and on most homesteads, to both civilians and armed personnel alike. This is based off of the glock-18 model, with some near-future modifications.

WLO Sniper Rifle: A pump-action sniper rifle from West London, with several custom modifications made to it. It uses a ten shot detachable magazine.

Armour:

Civilian Clothing: You wear a set of civilian clothing. This has no armour value and is thus pretty good to sneak around in, but, then again, if anything so much as breathes on you, you're a dead man.

Medium Armour: Standard issue armour. It's flexible but capable of stopping some damage in critical areas..

Medicine & Tech:

Medkit: Your standard medkit, including bandages, stitches, rubbing alcohol, and more.

Radio: A simple radio for contacting others.

Frag Grenade: A small hand held explosive. Pull the pin and throw it into a small room for maximum effect, as it isn’t all that effective in a large area with several pieces of cover... Each character starts with two frag grenades.

Flashbang: A non-lethal version of the Frag Grenade, this weapon’s purpose is to cause a bright flash of light and a loud bang, blinding and deafening opponents. Each character starts with two flashbangs.

Miscellaneous

Dog-Tags: A way to identify your horrible mangled corpse. Congratulations! At least you won't die forgotten mister... Uh... What was your name again?

Standard Watch: Your standard wrist watch, powered by gears and springs as in old clockwork, only compartmentalized to fit on the wrist.

Flash-Light: Useful in dark places. Built into helmet/visor.

Miscellaneous

Signature: To agree to the rules, type your user-name hereHerzinth. This is just to verify that you understand, and agree to the fact, that I can kill your character without your permission. Playing smart and working in a team lowers your death odds, but even then... There’s always the chance your character won’t make it to the end.

Does the Vlad plushie exist?: It's very well hidden.

EDIT: What do you mean I forgot the inventory and Vlad the first time around.
Stop spreading lies.

[Tempest]

New –

Too Innocent To Kill: Subtle changes in bodily posture and displayed emotions from the eyes, as well as low wave psychic energy emitted in all directions, gives this character the most distinctive impression of innocence that shouldn’t be killed. It won’t stop enemies from using non-lethal force or wounding your character, or firing back if your character commits to hostile action, but it does mean that intelligent enemies will otherwise avoid lethal attacks on this character. (Survival, Diplomacy bonuses.)

Upgrade –

Psychic Meld

Random Mutation–

?

Custom –

Neural Circuitry:
The mind is a machine, with circuits and data drives. You just have to learn to use it. This is a two part mutation. [Effects, always carrying a faint electrical charge that causes feedback from machines.]
--[Ranged] Haywire: Through brute force, Georgia has figured out how to use the basic neural connections to override the technology in an area and cause it to act haywire in random ways. Has little effect upon more simple technologies, IE) Radios may experience little more than feedback and background chatter.
--[Touch] Hi-Jack: Upon contact, Georgia can delicately establish a connection with the circuitry of the technology in question and gain deeper access, overriding and assuming control of it

Bonus –

In Forma, Quod Puritas: Having a closer connection to the mutants in the fog than any human could ever hope to have, these individuals have started to realize their true potential in the face of the oncoming force. They can now acutely hear and understand what the mutants in the shadow zone say to each other verbally or telepathically, and are immune to the horrible side effect of coming into direct contact with them: They cannot be either absorbed or burned. Situations which would petrify a normal person, such as the glare of a shadow wolf, have no effect on this mutant.

Wounds sustained are now rapidly healed, though this exhausts the mutant. For perspective: They can heal broken bones in minutes. This doesn't however render them immune to pain, which can still send them into shock, nor to blood loss, which can end their lives. Though notable their blood has taken on a somewhat lighter hue than that of a regular human, a more pinkish colour than red.

Achievements –

--Toyland: Georgia has grown up her whole life building gizmos and putting them to good use. (She now keeps a small package of random material with which she can make nearly anything.)
--SPARKLY PLUG, WOOSH!: Faster, faster, faster, faster, faster, faster! (Georgia sprints faster and has a small defense boost while sprinting in the first few seconds of any dash.)

[GourmetItalia]

Welcome Herzinth! I notice you're from Legend of Renalta 2: Reborn. Can't get enough of Brovo's fruitful GMing, looking for something new, or a mix of both? ;)

Brovo, what are the perks with upgrading the Bigger-is-Better caliber modification and Full American Unload Training. Can Peter use 12.7x108 mm rounds or AP/HE .50 caliber rounds? Also, what sort of surprises could we expect from stacking the upgraded Bigger-is-Better mod and enhanced Full American unload training with Suppression Fire and Concentrating Fire?

[Herzinth]

His fruity GMing, definitely.

Also, I'm not sure you can upgrade/double up on a weapon mod. I think it's just a new mod and a custom mod.

@Everyone:


Three mission choices will be posted up tomorrow after I finally have the chance to sleep for more than three hours. Woohoo! (Also when I have the chance to finally shave so I can stop looking like a deranged hobo.)

I'll also go through the OOC at that point and approve everything with the three new missions.

[Jorick]

No, don't do that, deranged hobo is the new dashing prince. Be fashionable, keep the hobo chic.

[Gat]

I concur keep the dashing hobo look. Clean shaven deranged prince is so last year.
