[OOC] Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

[LokiLeo789]

<Snipped quote by LokiLeo789> This made me laugh way too hard. XD

@Kaithas

Can you blame the man who lives for laughs. *whispers* But to tell you the truth, I did not do that on purpose...or did I? I'm a leave that there though.

[Lucius Cypher]

Sorry about vanishing, weather at my place is getting intense. Could I get a summary of what's been going on?

@Lucius Cypher

When were you last on? I've created a dedicated summary for Tear, I can chop it down for your convenience.

[Lucius Cypher]

I've been on and off, but pretty much the last post I remember was something about the lunch belling being rang and that everyone is suppose to leave for the next class.

@Lucius Cypher

Alright, I'm going to have to update it a little since we've had posts since then, gimme a little time. Here's what I have now. The bell rings, and Abel decides to try and walk to next period with Oswald, to get to know him better. Team KPT are planning something. Ivan grabs his weapon and makes his way to Armory class. Oswald rambles about his past, and how Saph would have been a good person to have when fighting Grimm back then. EDIT: I should be giving this to you in PM's. I'll message you once I'm done.

[Scarifar]

Is Daniel the only one in RPGD that isn't attracted to Priscilla? Because it sure seems that way.

@Scarifar

Well, Priscilla doesn't seem to be very narcissistic, so there's one. Also, considering that Daniel was one of the few people who didn't look away when her panties were being shown off to the class, I'd make a guess that Daniel isn't completely unattracted to her.

Cheap thrills, I swear. Nothing odd about it at all.

[Sho Minazuki]

<Snipped quote by Sho Minazuki> Lol, Geni is long gone from there. I know Merlin was at lunch also. But Mokuren has not been around since the sparing part. But Kaben has been in the OCC though. It is you I have not seen much of though.

@LokiLeo789

Yeah, kinda just got out of a flight two days back. Will be on another one again in two days, but basically not been around for good reason.

[Agent B52]

Based on the discussion about Faunus retaining animal traits: "Contentment is having the riches and prestige of a general. Enjoyment is having a proper Vale dinner. Happiness is having a Vacuo party. Heaven is having a cat faunus girlfriend." Because purring and bellyrubs.

Since it looks like we're going with the,

Option B: Winning contests/challenges and beating missions award Credits, which can be used in a shop system to buy Armory upgrades, Ability upgrades, and subplots. TENTATIVE: 4 for Armory, 6 for Ability, 10 for subplot Suggestion: Nerf mission credits to half or double credits needed with every purchase :P

I have a couple of thoughts. Mission rewards are in Credits and Lien (RWBY's Currency?), so why don't we use both of those currencies? Keep in mind these are just my thoughts on the subject. GM has the final word on the stuff. Armory/Tech/Weapon upgrades/items would use Lien, lore wise, the Lien would cover the costs of materials of said upgrade/item. Small upgrades would be like, a couple thousand maybe, since the mission rewards are in the 1,000 - 4,000 range already. Medium upgrades would be somewhere around 10,000 and maybe large upgrades would be 20,000. Small upgrades being like, a new attachment to an existing weapon, or a small piece of gear like a grappling hook. Medium upgrades being an actual upgrade of said items, like a direct upgrade in killing power or a new function(?) Heavy upgrades would be a complete overhaul of an existing thing, or maybe a completely new weapon. We also have to keep in mind our own characters' abilities, concerning these Armory/Tech/Weapon upgrades. My character, Ineko, is pretty darn good at electronics, armor, etc, but he probably can't make a good sword to save his life. If he wanted to make a sword, it might be more expensive than someone else's attempt, who is good at making swords. --- Since 'credits' are a reward too, at first I thought these were like college credits, but apparently not(?), these could be used to purchase Semblance/Ability upgrades. As well as subplots, as said in the quote/general Gdoc. I'm not sure how to apply credits to ability upgrades. We could use the Lien thing, outlined above, with the Light, Medium, and Heavy upgrades, each one being more expensive than the last. Mission rewards so far are in the 1 to 5 Credit rewards. It seems like we've all followed a similar system, each grade up is adding a credit. D - 1 CR C - 2 CR B - 3 CR A - 4 CR S - 5 CR SS - 6 CR Which is cool because it's at least consistent. Maybe we can price it accordingly? Light Ability/Semblance Upgrade - 5 to 6 CR Medium Ability/Semblance Upgrade - 10 to 12 CR Heavy Ability/Semblance Upgrade - 20 to 24 CR These are so heavily priced because they're Ability/Semblance upgrades, stuff that borders the supernatural, I guess. Upgrades shouldn't come all that often. Then again, I'm not exactly sure. We should also keep higher ranked missions no more than the lower ranking missions, so that we don't power level speed run MLG pro our way through several SS missions and get that Heavy Upgrade early. As for the subplot thing, I honestly have no idea how to price it, maybe we don't. Since paying CR for a subplot would mean giving up a potential upgrade to your Semblance. Some people might not want to give up that upgrade. As for exact prices, I dunno. Maybe PM the upgrade in question to Lugu the GM, or a Co-GM, and they'll discuss it and come up with an exact price.

[Forsythe]

why don't we use both of those currencies?

I feel like it would be too difficult, why use two when we can use just one. Another reason for example, Diamond at the very least has a very large sum of lien from past criminal activities, it's be a bit unfair. I'd think of it that the school itself would only allow you to get a weapon upgrade after reaching certain limit of credits. Lore wise, unless something drastic happens to your character that would change them forever, anything but a light semblance upgrade is pretty much a no go, and even that should be something you work the better part of the semester for. And Lug, as far as buying subplots goes... Ain't that a bit too limiting? We have couple dozen people, not couple hundred, and most of thsoe are grouped into packages of 4 for any of the given subplots...

[Lugubrious]

I'll give it some more thought.

@Forsythe

Ah, right. I hadn't thought about everyone's activities prior to the academy. And yeah, there were no Semblance changes in the show, so there probably shouldn't be any major changes here. As for the weapon upgrade thing after a certain amount of credits, it feels like the academy is holding students back. I'm not sure if Beacon is the type of place to be doing that.

@KabenSaal

Well my friend, after the sparing matches we want on to history and math, but those were meant to be quick pass the time classes. We then went on to lunch, some things happened there( some of these students are hooligans) and we are now about to start 4th period. You can choose from Armory class(thats were Geni is located *Wink, wink, nudge, nudge)there is Grimm studies I thing to. That's about it.

For Agent B52

@harinezumikouken

Basically, the 30mm cannon has a plane attachment.

<Snipped quote by harinezumikouken> Basically, the 30mm cannon has a plane attachment.

@Guess Who

Yes, and it's meant to be a anti-armor killer.

@Guess Who

Ahem. "This is the kind of gun they used to put planes on. It wasn't a case of 'Oh, we got this jet fighter, it kinda needs something besides missiles and bombs and shit, let's strap this thing on'. NO. It was a case of a guy making a gun SO awesome, that he just stepped back, and said, "This shit needs to fly'. And everyone else is like, 'You can't make a gun fly!'. And the first guy is all like, 'Fuck you, yes I can. I will strap a plane to this gun.' And everyone's like, 'You mean strap the gun to a plane?' And the first guy is like, 'No, man. I am strapping the plane to the gun. The plane is an accessory.' And then everyone's minds were blown. Like, there was some serious mind blowing going on there. Ears were bleeding. Synapses just went and committed suicide because it was so awesome." - Smith, BOrangeFury's Fallout Let's Play
