[OOC] Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

[NarcissisticPotato]

I'm the same as Kaithas; fill me in where you need me! Anyhow, what exactly is Armoury class?

[Lugubrious]

Much obliged, Agent. Armory is rather like wood shop, but for technology. A student attending the class can make weapons, gear, devices, and more, or repair any of those things. They can also be submitted as 'inventions' to the school, who might consider buying the patent. For example, the rock-propelled lockers that drop the students' weapons into hot spots could have been invented in Armory and then incorporated by the school. Since you're interested, Narc, why don't you make and then play the Armory teacher? Ah, I missed that, Kaithas. In that case, I'd like you to make and then play the Computer Science teacher. If you like, you can simply update the placeholder sheet (Ni Rensa Ryou) or make an entirely new one. That okay with you?

[Forsythe]

Speaking of armory, I made a weapon O:-)

Lore

Long Range Dust Launcher - Blitzkrieg: Portable ballista reloaded from a magazine. Similar to a crossbow in function, it actually lacks the prod. Instead it has two separate, solid arms mounted on torsion springs to provide the force to eject the arrow. The front is fitted with a laser sight, flashlight and a bayonet for close range. The weapon is fitted with a scope that allows for precision firing up to 500 meters away and hitting the target reliably up to 750. It is capable of taking gravity loaded cartridges with 5 bolts each. The torsion springs are primed using an electric motor, taking power from the main dust battery that also powers the rest of the electronics. The folding stock can hold four pieces of ready ammunition. The ammunition is a chapter of it’s own. The bolts are composed of two pieces, the body and the tip. Opal can use either capsule tips for impact fuse dust rounds or poison, and metal tips for piercing effect. The main body can also hold a dust ampule for delayed fuse rounds. To fit the cartridges and barrel, the bolts are made with discarding sabot. Furthermore, Opal has special types of ammo, such as grappling hook, signal flare or a short range cylindrical canister.

@Forsythe

That is seriously badass! What program is that!?

[Forsythe]

SketchUp. Wings 3D is a good one too, but SketchUp has a bit unique style of modelling.

[Kaithas]

Fine with me, though Comp Sci is likely to cause flashbacks to my actual life The HORRORS Anywho, I'll take a look at the char sheet.

@Lugubrious

Will do! I have a feeling that some of the other players would probably be more qualified to do such a character what with their knowledge of physics and all that but I'll try my best!

@Forsythe

Dayum! I use Sketchup for any assignments that require models but I don't think I could ever do it to that standard!

[Kaithas]

@NarcissisticPotato : If you need help with Physics, I'd be glad to give it. I imagine the Computer Science teacher and the person in charge of making tech would work closely together, and I know a thing or two about Physics XD

[Lugubrious]

I look forward to seeing your sheets. ....aaand BAST is good to go.

[Krayzikk]

So, speaking of teachers being needed, I'd gladly handle one of the spots still in need of filling, if there is one. And how exactly do classes work? Are they done in team groups, or does each individual student have their own schedule? And to sign up we just add names to the lists on the Doc?

[Forsythe]

Why is it exactly that there even needs to be a teacher character for each class? It seems to me that msot of the time a NPC would do the job jsut fine...

[Kaithas]

Name: Ni Rensa Ryou Age: 34 (Teacher) Gender: Male Race: Human Weapon: The Eternity Key has three modes. The first is a simple, if fancy looking longsword, covered in circuitry and capable of being electrified. The second is a shotgun, and the third is a keyboard and holographic monitor that are able of interfacing with nearly any computer system–and hacking it. Course: Computer Science Semblance: Ryou is capable of causing “silence zones” at will. Each zone is a space around 10 feet in diameter in which no mechanical devices or Dust powered machines will work. Up to three can exist at once. Personality: Ryou is a quiet man who does not talk a lot. He expects his entire students to know how to operate a computer so he can teach them the “fun world” of computer science instead of teaching them how to open a program or write in a notepad which he finds boring. He really doesn’t talk that much to people outside of his class and department, though he maintains a good relationship with the more technologically capable of his colleagues. Color: Neon Green. Emblem: A green power symbol on a black background. Appearance:

Hider

I replaced fighting style with course, since I didn't figure the teachers would be on teams XD

[MamaSushi]

Quick question, I want to join and I have a character ready. Do I submit it to OP for approval or post it in the characters tab?

[Lugubrious]

@Forsythe, they are NPCs. We don't spend much time with them, we don't develop them, and we generally spend less overall effort on them. But, by having a sheet, we have a reference to all the information we might need about a teacher, and by having only one person play him or her, that person is free of worrying about someone else portraying inaccuracies, and is also free to play with other ways of making a character, and an adult at that. I thought it could be both fun and informative. Coincidentally, from your suggestion on the Doc I feel as if you'd make an excellent Peter Port. You've certainly been doing a good job posting lately, so I'd be more than willing to let you have this high-profile slot. The way each class will work is simply that the person playing the teacher will lead it, and the other people in that class will interact with one another, and not anyone else. Basically we're splitting into groups again, but this time we have more people. Naturally, there need be no sort of collaboration, simple play-by-post format will do just fine. @Kaithas, go ahead and put Ryou in the characters tab and I'll officially link him up. I might recommend using some spacing and bolds in your sheet to make it pop a little more though. And having a 'specialty' section is just fine, we know that Oobleck and Port fight, for instance, and I filled one out for Fullbuster. @Krayzikk, I would be happy if you were to make a sheet for and then play the teacher of Music. You can of course recycle Polyhymnia or create a new Music teacher of your own device. @Mamasushi, While I'd be glad to have you, we have no current spots available. As record-breaking as it might be, I'm not overmuch inclined to start planning for an 8th team, but I'll put you down on the waiting list. If you like, you can put down your sheet on this OOC for appraisal by everyone. If you can think of some sort of special, non-team slot (Like Shadowkiller's Sarina Tala Dei, a teacher's aide) for your character, let me know. @Harine, out of curiosity, wasn't it you who originated the idea of a Practice teacher?

[Forsythe]

"... and by having only one person play him or her..." <- THAT IS THE DEFINITION OF A PC, IT'S NOT A NPC! XD Sure I can do Port, boisterous derp that can't hold a thought for longer than a minute is easy enough xD

[NarcissisticPotato]

Right, I've got some time to make my teacher and what I like to do is find a picture before writing up the character. So here are the two options I'm stuck between:

Hip inventor/teacher person

Not so hip teacher but definitely the coolest looking teacher ever

[Kaithas]

@Potato: IF I start chanting "BEARD BEARD BEARD" will that get my message across? XD

@Forsythe

My computer almost crashed due to the awesomeness that was that weapon.

I pick Beardsly Johnson

Robert is not the way you think. Yes Rayna may sound mean but she's not insulting priccila if she was is tell her to screw of before I made her leave but she's just giving priccila advice."

Just out of curiosity did this sentence make sense to anyone else?
