Falling Skies: 7th Mobile Armor Suit Team (Sci-fi, Mecha, Space Odyssey/Opera)

I watched the first season with friends and our teaction went something like this "They gave her a 5 minute backstory to kill her" "Yup" "If you enter the capsule as a couple you trigger the death flag" "Yup"

[Kimiyosis]

@Kimiyosis interest is still open for a other 2 hours

@vietmyke

YES! I can join, right? I can make character~poi?! *clasps hands together tightly with a puppy-eye look*

@Kimiyosis

...I have an...odd urge to pet this one.

@Kimiyosis

You can make a character, yes, but you're not guaranteed to be accepted. Limited space and all that jazz.

Kawaii.

So, by default, before any extra systems are installed, how much power units does a single core have?

[Mixtape Ghost N]

Unfortunately, I'm going have to withdraw my interest. I'm trying to write a sheet, but I'm just not feeling it. It's nothing that has to do with your RP, it's just that I don't really have any good ideas and everything I'm writing just sounds flat. Plus, since there's no guarantee my sheet will even be accept, that's even less motivation. So, I'mma pull out. I hope your RP goes well.

@Kimiyosis

A single core = 5 PWR. Two cores = 10, Three = 15, and so on.

[Kimiyosis]

Out of curiosity, what are the types of MAS that people have made, as in roles and chassis only.

[vietmyke]

@PrincessOfNothing Alice probably wouldn't have a callsign, everyone would probably refer to her as "Alice", seeing as "Alice" is likely a backronym/nickname for some long winded military designation. I'm not sure how I feel about a "temper" being installed on an Artificial Intelligence- a desire for physical violence and aggression seems rather sociopathic, and its doubtful that a designer would purposely make a sociopathic AI. Also, while I can appreciate a well written physical description, I'd still like an image reference if at all possible. Character history is fine, though keep in mind that anything that can be learned via studies or textbook is just installed into Alice's memory. She'd likely have no need to 'learn' history, strategy, or military science, as a programmer would likely just put that knowledge into her system to begin with. Things your AI would have to learn would be the nuances of social interaction and so forth. Regarding your MAS, funny enough, I was about to use that same image for the Shrike. Your rifle, which I assume is a ballistic weapon is 5 WT 2 PWR, instead of 5 WT 5 PWR, despite its dual firing modes. Also include ammo counts for each. Missile launchers are 3 WT 2 PWR, not 3 PWR. The upgraded targeting suite is redundant and unnecessary. While a human pilot may find use of its enhanced abilities, an AI, with its inherent mathematical genius- which includes the knowledge of various spacial sciences, ballistics, and probabilities- would probably find the targeting suite unnecessary. With the Improved Reactor upgrade your MAS will be carrying 1 too much weight, and its probably unnecessary as I've just saved you 7 units of power to spend how you like.

[Harbringer]

If Allen J is pulling out, would you like me to bring out the Scout Sniper again Viet? I'm leaving this open to the public as well. Both are equally appealing for me but I want you to decide which one would be more useful.

[Kimiyosis]

Probably making a Long Range Artillery Support/Point-Defense Heavy MAS, if no one else went that route.

[vietmyke]

@Harbringer Good thing you saved it. I liked the scout sniper, but I like your cqb as well. Your choice, either way, an NPC will likely fill the other role.

[Harbringer]

I'll leave it to the others then. What do you guys think?

[PrincessOfNothing]

I was thinking the aggression would be beneficial to her as a soldier, I guess? If it doesn't work as an intended aspect, maybe it would work better as some kind of unforeseen glitch in her programming? Emotions are weird even for organics, so there could be mistakes in programming them in a synthetic intelligence And understood about the MAS systems and weight/power numbers, I'll rectify the sheet as soon as I finish reading Frankenstein for my English test tomorrow. I think the reason I added the targeting suite and improved reactor was that it seemed like my MAS felt a little "bare" compared to the others, with just the rifle, launchers, and shield?

[Harbringer]

@PrincessOfNothing

...Do you live in Australia and is this for the HSC?

[vietmyke]

@PrincessOfNothing Okay, I can accept the aggression as a programming glitch. As for the MAS, you could give it more weapons? Or more powerful weapons? an EKP instead of a Ballistic weapon. Alternatively, while your character wouldn't find a targeting suite useful, it might find an enhanced radar handy? Maybe give it a stronger shield? Give it a melee weapon like a beam saber? Lots of options to choose from.

[PrincessOfNothing]

@Harbringer naw, I live in Texas, which is arguably similarly hot and hellish? What's the HSC? @vietmyke I'll do that, I think I was just nervous at first at making it overpowered and stuff

[vietmyke]

At this time, this RP is closed to further interest. All players who have already expressed interest, but have not provided me with a character sheet will have 36 hours to complete their character applications.

[Harbringer]

@Harbringer naw, I live in Texas, which is arguably similarly hot and hellish? What's the HSC?

@PrincessOfNothing

The Higher School Certificate, what NSW students need to enter University. Similar to your SATs I believe. We study Frankenstein as well. If you need help with it, feel free to ask.
