Hey guys, so far my original idea of doing weekend-only posting isn't working out too well since I don't have time on the weekdays to even plan out my posts. So rather than possibly holding everyone up, I'd like to give everyone a heads-up that I won't/can't be posting for a long while. If you're all willing to have me back in a few months when I'm a bit more free with time, I'd like to join in with the rest of Nova again. :)

Of course! It's the same thing as with ATP, we'll just say Jeanna is doing stuff aboard Tyrus while everyone else is on missions. We get that things can be busy, and I'm hoping to see you again before too long, but you take care of what you need to, okay? :)

Yep. Fuckin Microsoft. Didn't want to pay Sony to use Blu Ray probably so they stuck with DVDs last gen.

Wow, that sucks. :\ I never realized, since the last time I had an Xbox, it was just the Xbox, and I had seen Star Wars recently.
The consoles do a lot of petty things, mostly in excluding games/features, to the other one. Usually to the pain of the buyers without both.

Though, I will say, Sony smugly poking fun at Microsoft/Xbox One's (old) planned policies/features that outraged gamers was kind of hilarious. They had too much fun with that.
Like so:

Sorry to hear that, Soshi. And yeah, of course. :] You'll still have a spot when you have the time to RP again.

Course we'll have you back, Soshi. We need our resident cybernetically-enhanced soldier onboard the ship.

However, this begs the question - what do we do about the engine room job? From the looks of things, a fair number of us have gotten on the wrong side of the guards, so we might need to be prepared for a gunfight and stuff.

Unless we kill all the guards and answer their pagers or something.

[Tick]

Since you/Sunny D/Captain Jenno don't have plans (I think), one or more of you could always go for it? Notice that Roland got taken away and Jeanna's preoccupied/stuck in a corner, maybe notice the fact that you've lost access to/contact with three of Nova (Tzvi/Kygg/Roland), and decide to improvise to prepare for something bad.

I'd suggest a different idea for you guys, or the issue, but I'm blanking.

First Barb post is up, if anyone wants to work off that for a collab later one I'm all for it, but at the moment, with my kids wide awake at this time and my work schedule beyond a joke I can't guarantee a swift response due to the fact family and life come first :)

If it's not up to standards I'll pull it down and get back to work on it, hopefully when the kids are actually switched off of hyper mode and draining my batteries :(

[Dervish]

Really good post and a fun read! Barb's rather barbed personality is amusing as hell, so points for that. :D

A couple minor things that do need to be edited though are regarding the Tyrus. The turians had retired the ship, but due to clerical errors it wasn't classified as a the stealth prototype it was and that wasn't properly dismantled, and secondly very few people know their ship is a stealth prototype so that wouldn't be hugely common knowledge, and the turian government wouldn't be after it, especially since they have already contacted Nova about potential work.

However, the nature of this post can still work! It's very possible the Suns know all about what Nova's flying and could be the ones footing the bill for the job, so I'd focus it more on that. Other than that, I like it!

[Vakte]

In edit to my previous post, I believe I have smoothed out the post, and added a little extra to it just for the sake of adding it and actually getting Barb on the move towards Nova :)

Hey guys - sorry for the delay about finishing Torana, some stuff came up over the weekend and this site has been a pain to try and access in general x-x

I checked today and was able to access it more than once so..hopefully this will keep on going, as I attempt to finish off Torana tomorrow..Again, sorry for the delay.

Sidenote: My idea is that Torana, since the death of her mate and partner, has been working solo; She uses his name and contacts to get jobs, that usually involves hurting the blue suns in some way (like accepting a contact from some other gang and the like). So she is basically an expensive gun-for-hire, who usually is hired for the important jobs by the galaxy's underworld. If this information could help her get introduced into the story somehow, please let me know x-x

[Tick]

Alright, some ideas:

*Kasyra'Tala vas Ryushei, only known as Blue-Ice by her old group (whether with/without the dash, I forget), is an ex-Blue Suns. Though the only reason I could see her getting hunted down is because of another current or former Blue Suns that has a problem with her. Maybe an associate with someone she killed or messed up (which she did to a good number of people).

Though, really, just about everyone in Nova could have someone hunt them down.
E.g. Eclipse is still after Kosso for selling their information out to anyone that wanted it while under their employment. Roland probably pissed someone off when he killed the man that may have been the murderer of a relative. They couldn't prove he was guilty, but it could look suspicious enough for someone to guess/know/assume. Kygg's screwed over the Blood Pack when he left, and at least in one of the old RP's there were a couple guys that'd like to see him dead.

*In whatever the next mission is, she could bump into them on her own job (or on her way to her old job), and either one helps the other out, or it ends up being the same job that they play allies or rivals to.

*If she'd be willing to work for turian separatists, and the next mission is Mactare, she could be at the location Nova's attacking to turn in or gain a job. There might be one other group she could get hired by, but I'd have to figure how that'd work.

I personally think it makes more sense if you guys come up with a reason for your characters to be in the same place at the same time instead of chasing after Nova or members of Nova. Chasing them puts you in direct conflict with them and it's just weird when you all of a sudden pull a one eighty and decide to work with them instead. I don't know what the context of the next mission will be, but if I were in your position I would figure out what it is and come up with a reason for your characters to be there. Only because introducing your character now will likely feel like a bit of a rush job.
But that's just what I would want to do.

[Vakte]

My plan for Barb will be that he wants the ship itself to go to Tuchanka at some point in the future, possibly offering it as a mission for some reason, Turians learn that the Blood Pack have managed to acquired multiple WMD-like weapons, and the previous attempt to reclaim or disarm the weapons resulted in heavy losses and the survivors are pinned somewhere, resulting in less Blood Pack defending the bombs themselves and the turians offer Nova the job of getting the bombs. If accepted this will give Barb the chance he needs to get back at the Blood Pack, possibly result in a battle with the Blood Pack warlord he's after. Besides, Barb hasn't actually said he wants to kill Nova, just that he's hunting them :)

And I've got an idea for whenever you guys get off Kahje for a way to have Barb meet up with Nova without a gunfight :) Just need to work on the idea and see if Gowi and noobpany would like to join in the idea. And if Barb ends up fighting Nova it'll show Nova as a good clan, similar to Grunt about to whale on Shepard before being talked down or shot down lol. Anyway, away to PM Gowi and other noobs to see if they are willing to join in this idea.

[Dervish]

The WMD idea might actually slot nicely into something we already established! The Blue Suns had possession of this nerve gas of sorts that they purchased off of the turian Seperatists on Taetrus before Nova raided them and stole the gas without realizing what they had. They sold it to a black market dealer I can't recall the name of, and the turians decided to track it and see where it all ends up for future raids. The Blood Pack could potentially be a prospective buyer and if Nova is offered an emergency contract to respond, it would work nicely I think, especially if the turians are straight up, which would make the Taetrus job much more appealing.

[Tick]

That would work really well, I agree, and it blends in some established details to more events.

And yeah, while possible to do, having someone aiming to kill Nova and turning a 180 is trickier to do than them happening to meet up and get along.

*sniffle* I... I had to kill Mordin... He left me no choice.

Well, unless you followed one very specific path, with one sort-of counter-intuitive choice at the end of Tuchanka, his death is inevitable.

Also! Working on the collab now team of four. No promises as to when it'll be done, though.

Hey, Tick, you forgot to throw our dear krogan onto the roster. :P

Also, where be the new guys? o.o They kinda disappeared lately. We should get them back and started on something.

And Shadow Broker post is up! Yay!

Roland shall be forever at the butt end of these practical jokes, and shall always permit as much. Carry on. :'D

Oh, Tanya will get everyone in due time, I was mainly trying to think of who would most likely be unacceptable to such vile pranks. :D Roland fit the bill, since he seems to be largely the "innocent" one who isn't Tzvi, and male.
