My plan had been to have a pilot that was one of the few remaining survivors of a psionic development academy on some outer-rim world that had been attacked, hand-picked to pilot a psionic Framework. His whole personality kind of built up around his transhuman superiority complex.

@Thanatos:I really, really like Zan, to be honest.
My only concern is this!

•Hospitalized Special One: None of his immediate family, if any of his family is hospitalized it is unknown to him. (Meaning his Mom, Dad, Siblings, and Grandparents.)
Gnar The Missing Link said
Are you sure about keeping it like this? I am more than fine with you having it like this, but I want you to be sure you want it like this, based on your backstory. If you are, then it's fine.
I worded the underlined part above in a way, that if I wanted to I could have Zan learn about a family member that is hospitalized. If that was okay with you of course.
Gnar The Missing Link said
As for ... -tries to say the name- ... the Framework, again, you are more than able to have some extra stuff for it. If not, they're both Accepted as they are!
Actually, the reason why I didn't put any weapons was because I felt Zan wouldn't use any weapons. Also I felt Zan would be too obsessed with getting revenge to use weapons, except maybe a melee weapon.
I was expecting you to want me to change things, but I am happy you liked Zan.

Ahhh... I gotcha. Yeah, I would say were it not for the Cruxi stuff like that would have been available a few more decades. But right now, not so much.

Ashlyn Edith Scott
Age
16
Personality
Ashlyn appears to be kind, soft spoken and friendly girl, and exudes an air of calm, somewhat cold confidence, which can be a bit of a deterrent for other people who don't know her. She's calm, intelligent, and tries to get along with just about everyone, though she can be a bit inappropriate at times. She is a very caring young girl, and doesn't really like to see others get hurt. She is very protective of her friends and people she considers family, and anyone who injures them, might as well have just signed their death warrant. She is all of these things, for the most part, at least on the surface - Since the attack on her home however, it is clear she is becoming more and more...unstable.
Most of her life was spent idolizing her father who was a soldier for the army. She wanted to be just like him, go out, and save the universe and stuff and kill stupid alien scum in the process, though with her twin sister, Isabel being the more outspoken of the two, she never really got to put those thoughts into action. After it was announced he was killed, she was devastated but remained strong for Isabel and her mother and didn't shed a tear. Thus, planted the seeds of her hatred for the Cruxi. A few years later, after they almost took her sister from her, she might have 'snapped' as some might say.
Under that calm and friendly exterior, is a personality that could only be described as sadistic, especially towards anything that deals with the Cruxi. During combat, she is absolutely ruthless, and not afraid to let others know it. She absolutely loathes the creatures for the senseless destruction they caused and the lives they have taken as a result. She wants nothing more than to see them all burn in the fiery pits of hell, and if she has it her way, she'll send them all there herself, even if it kills her. She got tired of always trying to defend people as a child, but never being able to actually do anything like her sister. Since then, she has decided to take a more proactive role in helping people by doing one thing: taking out problems before they even occur.
With this mindset, she is certain the humans will win against the Cruxi, even if she has to drag them there herself. Anyone who doesn't believe that they'll win, well, they might as well already be dead as far as she cares. They have already lost the war, in her eyes and might as well just walk into a Cruxi infested planet and let them be mauled to death.
has a bit of an obsession with rifles, guns, and knives. Always carries a personal side arm on her.
Battle-Style
Ruthless Gunslinger/Commando. Unloads a frenzy of bullets to kill things before they even get close enough to damage her. Fights optimally at medium range with an assortment of rifles and other ranged weapons, but can also hold her own at close quarters combat against a few opponents. She won't be taking down an army in close quarters though, at most she can only handle two or three, possibly four for now.
Hospitalized Special One
Her twin sister, Isabel. Though she tried to shove her out of the way of falling debris, a plasma blast from a Cruxi saw to it that she failed, leaving her with severe burns and crushing her sisters spine. Isabel was always the more outgoing of the two, and Ashlyn always wanted to try and protect her. When she realized she had failed this, she broke down completely. If it wasn't for a few retreating soldiers passing by to pull the two of them out, they would have both died down there.
Her sister has been in a coma for the past year. Her mother was killed in the Cruxi attack on her home. Her father was KIA a few years prior to the assault.
Background
Ashlyn, and her sister Isabel, grew up with their mother on some far off colony world that had been relatively peaceful compared to a bunch of other war-torn worlds and colonies. Many believed that the Cruxi wouldn't bother them, out of some misguided hope or denial that the aliens were even a threat. Ashlyn never really thought much about the Cruxi. They had left the planet alone, more or less and aside from them killing her father she had never really cared much for stories involving them. Her sister though, downright wanted to fight them and made a game of it.
When the Cruxi ships landed, it was utter chaos as people made their way to the evac zones. The Cruxi razed everything, and the soldiers there that were supposed to defend them could hardly stop their advance. Her mother was one of the first to have been killed in the Assault. Ashlyn, was terrified, but her sister who had boasted about fighting Cruxi just hours before, was even more so. She had to be strong for her again. She pulled Isabel away, and ran towards the Evac center. The two ran, Ashlyn pulling Isabel along as they made their way towards an evac station. Unfortunately, they didn't make it. A building collapsed on top of them as they ran, Ashlyn tried to shove Isabel out of the way, but a stray blast from a Cruxi knocked her over, severely burning her in the process.
Thankfully, they were found by a few retreating soldiers who managed to dig them both out of the debris. The next thing she knew, she was on a medical transport with her sister on life support, barely being kept alive, and her being wrapped in bandages to help treat her burns. Eventually, they made their way back to earth where Isabel was transferred to a larger facility so she could be treated. They had managed to save her life, but she was in a bad coma, and the doctors didn't know when, or if she would wake as the falling debris crushed her spinal cord, and various other organs. If she did wake, they could perform surgery to replace most of the damaged bones and tissue with prosthetic substitutes.
Ashlyn thanked the doctors, but it felt hollow. They were just sitting behind comfortably while others were fighting, just patching up what they could without actually helping the problem. So, she decided to take her sisters words to heart, and attempt to fight the Cruxi and join the Military just as her father had as soon as she was old enough. So, she started training herself in the use of guns. Rifles, pistols, SMGs, you name it, she was interested in learning it. It was around this time after she had been poking around certain military employment options, that the people of the Framework program asked her to join them in this experiment. She eagerly accepted, ready to actually do something, instead of just talking about doing something.
Framework Name
Blitzkrieg
Appearance
Blitz, as he's affectionately nicknamed, is made of lighter materials than other Frameworks, meaning he lacks a bit in the defense department but makes up for it in speed, agility, and sheer firepower abilities with his guns. It's designed to take things out, and take things out quickly and efficiently.
Primary Weapon-Type
~Schwall Type 2 Combat Rifle~
This gun, to put simply, is a beast. It has two settings, burst fire for accuracy, and full auto for suppression fire at close to medium range. Needless to say, the gun eats a lot of ammo in full auto. However, stick the gun into the gut of a Cruxi and pull the trigger, you're getting a rather pleasing fountain of blood and metal. The default type of ammunition, is armor-piercing shrapnel rounds that penetrate enemy armor, then basically become little fragments of metal, maximizing the internal damage. It can be switched out for other ammo types, if needed, such as explosive or incendiary rounds if they are available. This is its main starting armament for missions, and is actually built into the Frameworks body and can easily be put away for use of the Genauigkeit Revolvers.
Secondary Weapon Type
~Genauigkeit Type 3 Revolver, Dual~
While the Schwall is built for medium range fighting, these pistols are built for pinpoint accuracy at close to medium range. One shot = one crippled Cruxi. While they fire a lower caliber bullet than the Schwall, they don't need the extra size to make enemies bleed. They are designed to cripple an enemy in one shot, then take it out in one more. The guns fire as fast as the trigger can be pulled, and yes, that is still quite fast. They fire armor piercing rounds, but like the Schwall can be augmented with other round types. They are normally kept in a slot in the side of the Framework when not in use.
Side-socket 1
~Combat Assistance Display~
As the name suggests, the Blitzkrieg is designed with a targeting assistance computer to aid with accurate firing. All it needs to know is where the enemy is, the wind speed, and other environmental factors, and it can give several optimal firing spots for Blitzkrieg, with the predicted accuracy of each shot. Of course, its not perfect by any means but it can help greatly with conserving ammo in the Schwalls burst fire mode, and make the Genauigkeits even more deadly.
Side-socket 2
~Ammo Reserves~
Due to the ammo consumption of Blitz, it has been fitted to carry a large amount of ammo reserves of whatever type of ammo the mission started with, or if she wants to switch ammo types mid-mission or battle. Able to share ammo reserves with allies. Once it's depleted, it ejects itself from the Framework.
Special Ability
~Flut Type 3 Minigun Barrage~
Fried Cruxi, anyone? After this deluge of plasma blasts, then that's all that will be left of them - smoking piles of ash or fried corpses.
This mode activates the two large miniguns on Blitzkriegs back. The weapons fire devastating rounds of plasma at almost obscene speeds and amounts. It's a powerful attack that will obliterate anyone or anything not in cover, and leave anything it hits severely charred, weakened, and burned, leaving them ripe for attack from allies, or her own guns and rifles. The drawback, however, is that the guns tend to overheat rather easily due to the amount of plasma they generate and can only fire in short bursts, or risk damaging the entire framework.
More fun facts:
Flut translates to Deluge
Genauigkeit roughly translate to Precision
Schwall translates to Torrent
Hey hey, here's my new CS with a mid-range Gunslinger/Rifleman~
I hope something like this was what you were looking for~
And yes, I already had her somewhat made up xP

Guns, blood, and Metal. Her favorite things. Of course she's packing a lot of heat xP
And yes, it can dish out a lot of damage, but defense isn't entirely its strong suit. Certainly it has a decent amount of defense, but since it doesn't have any close combat weapons, it doesn't really stand a change against enemies if they get close enough to stab it.
If they can.
If is key here xP
Of course, if its up against another ranged weapon, then its probably going to be a show of who can fire faster and harder, and who is more agile. Unfortunately, it has only above average mobility at best. Swift close ranged enemies are going to be the most dangerous thing to her xP

I'm afraid the answer is going to have to be no on this one, Dead, mostly because I can't quite see a human having those powers in this setting.
Rune_Alchemist said
Question for the GM - I simply want to ask if this bit is overpowered. If not, I can just happily remove it. Thought of it as more of an afterthought~
Additionally, the CAD is capable of other programs uploaded to it to expand its functionality, such as a satellite map of the immediate area, if one is available, motion sensors, etc. Of course these will be gathered through the course of the RP and she won't start out with them. Perhaps they will unlock as her Synchronization rate goes up?~
This is... iffy. I say this because it doesn't suite melee mech, but it does suite ranged and support mechs. So, if you want to have something like this, I suggest having it so that she and her mech have to be stationary for a while to receive data from the Izanagi before being able to have a map of the area. Other than that, I think this new character is pretty great, and if you want to replace your old one, you are free to do so.

It looks good and I do like it a lot, however... my one complaint is that it does seem to be a bit melee focused, when we are already melee heavy, even though Rune has switched over:
If you're willing to change them to one of the other roles beside Melee,Artillery or Duelist (since that is honestly just a fancier word for another meleer but with a gun), then I think it would be okay.

Mods are asleep. Post CS's.
Name:
Leonce 'Leon' Armistead
Age:
17
Personality:
Leonce is a lover. Outside of a fight, he is almost unrecognizable to those that have fought him. In social situations Leonce lives to find connections with those around him. He's a social butterfly of sorts who remembers every name and usually everything he learns about people, his brain having been lucky enough to be wired for social interaction. Leonce is aware of how his talking someone's ear off can be a negative and tries to form conversations with people and let them do most of the talking (something that has led to him mastering the technique of nodding and going "mhmm"). He's slow to make decisions, wanting to weigh every side of every argument and make sure that whatever he chooses is the best possible decision for every situation. Leonce wants nothing more than to make friends and enjoy life with those around him, always being willing to go an extra mile to put a smile on someone's face. To those less intimate with him, he often appears to be a man of endless smiles and stamina, always ready and willing to turn it up to 11 for every occasion and always ready to offer a helping hand, a smile, or a joke.
Leonce is a fighter. If ever he feels his life is in danger or that the life of another is in danger, all bets are off. Leonce is willing to go to any length to ensure that those who seek to harm others never harm another once he's done with them. In a fight Leonce makes snap decisions and lets go of his inhibitions, ready to do anything at a moments notice, and if the only way to win a fight is to put himself at risk, he will seize the opportunity and dig in his teeth.
Battle-Style:
Mid-Close-ranged gunslinger. Mobility and firepower are everything with Leonce, and he would much rather have little armour and lightning quick reflexes than be a bulky bullseye. He has a preference to ammunition over plasma or alternative based weapons, the feedback of rounds giving him a much better sense of where to aim, plus there's just something about the sound that makes it feel right. When he gets in close to targets, he'll make use of his rifle's bayonet which is typically attached to his Framework's hip and use it to either force a target to stay still and take a barrage of gunfire or break open armour to find a soft spot.
Hospitalized Deceased Special One:
Leonce's adoptive mother, Julia Einhard, a framework pilot, was killed several months prior to his being selected to become a Framework pilot. Leonce had always had a strong relationship with his mother and would frequently communicate with her, having even spoken with her a few hours prior to her death. The loss devastated him and cause him to withdraw from society for a while. His mother became a touchy topic that he often refuses to speak about, even to some of his closest friends.
Background:
All that remains of Leonce's birth parents is his surname Armistead. Both suffered an untimely death during the Cruxi invasion of an outer world. Leonce was no older than six at the time and had priority among the ships that were fleeing the planet, his parents being left behind to board a later ship. That ship never came. The rescue shuttle boarded the carrier Tetsuba where a temporary refugee camp had been set up as survivors were gathered and shipped off to a safer planet. It was there that Leonce met Julia Einhard, the woman that would go on to adopt him.
There was little mothering she could do for him with her being a framework pilot, but she did her best to make it work. He had a safe home on Earth, nearly as far from the fighting as he could get, a rotating group of caretakers, and frequent access to long distance communication with her. Julia would tell him of her fighting the Cruxi, of how she piloted the framework, where she was, and the general stuff a mother and son would shoot the shit about. Leonce, despite his tragic loss, had a relatively happy childhood as the adopted son of Julia, and a relatively safe life on Earth. Both were more than he could ever ask for and he was acutely aware of how few people had such luxuries.
Years passed by in the blink of an eye and Leonce found himself a young teen, popular among his peers, well liked, and very happy with his life. Leonce tried a flurry of designer drugs and liquor and found that he hated them both. He found his joys in more alternative routes, getting his first tattoo on his neck at 16, his first piercings shortly after, and the complete remake of his appearance followed suit. He had found an exciting new appearance and was quickly pulled into the culture of alternative appearances when the news of Julia's death reached him.
Leonce disappeared for what seemed like months, filled with grief at the loss of his mother and the memories of the loss of his parents that was brought along with it. Leonce's reappearance into the social world was his last. It's a blur in his mind, though from what he's been told he had been stabbed in the chest three times before stealing the knife from his attacker and beating the man until his face was unrecognizable. The military showed arrived in his ward shortly after that. Something about his medical charts seemed to tip them off that he might have potential to become a framework pilot. Leonce didn't complain.
Other things:
Leonce is a big fan of tattoos, piercings, and hair dye, all of which he is constantly on the lookout for more of.
Framework Name:
Ballistica
Appearance:
Primary Weapon-Type:
Ichaival
A state of the art ballistics weapon that offers recoil reduction and precision almost unheard of. The rifle has several fire modes that offer the ability to quickly switch between munition types, the types ranging from incendiary, localized emp, high impact, and explosive. Due to the rifle relying on conventional ballistics, ammunition count is limited which requires the pilot the make every shot count.
Secondary Weapon Type:
Mjolnir
An injection knife that operates as a bayonet for Ichaival as well as a personal combat knife. Upon insertion, utilizing plasma based technology, the knife injects a burst of plamsa meant to either damage armour or destroy it all together. Reference
Side-socket 1&2:
Cartridges
Ichaival goes through a lot of ammo quickly and as a result, having extra ammunition is less a luxury and more a necessity. Due to Ichaival's ammunition requirements, borrowing ammo from others isn't exactly a viable solution, so this is the only way to ensure that Ballistica doesn't have to rely on Mjolnir.
Special Ability:
The Snake and its Fangs
Upon entering this mode, Ballista's stealth systems activate rendering it undetectable to visual, temperature, electrical, and motion based tracking systems. The only give away to Ballistica's location being the beams of plasma fired from its new rifle, Jormungand, the product of Ichaival and Mjolnir fusing. This rifle exceeds Ichaival's range and firepower greatly and is less hindered by environmental effects than more conventional ammunition.

Mm, I was worried about that. I saw the list you posted on the last page, but I had already entirely written up the Framework, so I figured I may as well post it and see what you said.
I'm having a hard time thinking of another Framework I'd like. A speedy Gunslinger was up there, but we have two of those now. I personally don't think two Snipers would be a good idea, as the role is so specialized that I feel anything I come up with would be too similar to Tatsua's. That leaves Support, and I can't say I'm jumping at the chance to play that.
Though I'd rather play a less-than ideal role than not be in the RP at all, so I'll come up with something as soon as I can. I'm not sure when that'll be, as I'm low on ideas at the moment, but it's coming.

@Marx: I really like both characters, I really do... however, I'm in a slight bind here with both you and XLegs that I'll explain shortly.
As of this moment, however, I would like to take attendance of all those who are still interested and those who have not dropped out for whatever reasons. I want to make sure I have a complete list of those who are still in this.
After that has been done, I'm going to wait a few minutes and see how things are coming along... because I do believe the RP will be starting today one way or another, and who'll be our 12th member. I'm going to give XLegs until this amount of time to get their stuff sorted and present an application that is on par with the others before I make my decision and start the RP.
