[OOC] Operation Shadow Sabre

[Dragonite777]

Can't wait! Sabre 03 will be ready and waiting til then.

[Rhymer]

Can't wait to see what our first mission is!

[Dragonite777]

@Rhymer Me either. I'm interested to see how it'll even start. So ready.

[nk1506]

I'm excited to begin. Seems like a really cool idea.

[Light]

@nk1506
Did you make the changes we discussed to your CS yet?

[MercuryHg34]

I finished Scott's bio, specializations will come tomorrow. For Scott in particular it will be slightly challenging to create specializations and augmentations seeing as he's supposed to be above average in all areas while being the best at no particular one.

[Dragonite777]

@MercuryHg34 Maybe pick a few areas (gun accuracy, survival skills, a little stealth, ammo synthesis, and a few others maybe?)

[nk1506]

@Light Yeah, I did. I also removed the repair ability because it just seemed too useless and didn't have much to do with a medic role.

[Dragonite777]

So much anticipation... o_o
Do want start, but I know we still have a WIP :/

[SimplyJohn]

Noticed you had a severe lack of 'bumpy marines' in your squad so threw my hat into the ring with a support/close combat role Sabre with a nice butt. After all, if you're gonna have someone charging ahead of the rest, might as well have a good view to look at. :D

[Dragonite777]

@SimplyJohn I read it all, and dayum. 0_0

@Dragonite777

In favour of a hotheaded redhead leading the way? Even if she plays for the wrong team?

[Dragonite777]

Well, we already have a leader, but she'll probably disregard him and rush into battle

[SimplyJohn]

@Dragonite777

Luckily for her she's been issued with a suit which can hopefully keep her alive long enough for Commander Riley to get some support to cover her ass.

Then again, maybe her recent court martial has finally taught her a lesson and she'll be a little more level-headed going forwards.

[Dragonite777]

@SimplyJohn Hopefully. We're supposed to be a well-oiled super-tactical machine. Someone runnin and gunnin probably ain't gonna fly

[SimplyJohn]

@Dragonite777 On the other hand, having someone who can rush forwards and flush out the enemies for the heavies and snipers to take out could be useful, especially since she could call down fire on her own position with minimal risk to herself.

A shield specialist who can give cover during a retreat or when caught in the open is also very useful for the range-orientated party and lightly armoured scouts.

You don't need to worry, I won't be playing her too gung-ho. After all, she's an experienced battlefield officer with several successful campaigns under her belt. If it wasn't for her poor reputation and associated troop morale problem she has everywhere she goes she'd probably have made Commander by now. She will have a temper though and if the team spend too long standing around arguing over what to do next she'll be the one to step up and actually take some action, even if it turns out to be a mistake later on.

[Dragonite777]

@SimplyJohn Fair enough. Still an interesting perspective. Well, we have a flanker, a sniper, one heavy, and our fearless leader. Having someone being a padded target wouldn't be too bad. I can't accept your CS, but I like the character dynamic. It's a lot different than the rest.

[SimplyJohn]

@Dragonite777 Exactly what I was aiming for; completely different than the rest, upto and including the inverted sexual organs.

Just to note, I'll be out of town between next Thursday 30th April and the following Monday 5th of May. Should still have online access though so will probably still be posting during that time.

[Dragonite777]

@SimplyJohn Lol, yeah. I like how she's the only girl and lesbian. XD
Sexual tension will probably be had in the down time that she won't relieve.

[SimplyJohn]

@Dragonite777 I thought it would be best to remove her as a possible romantic interest since she's surrounded by so many alpha male types. Either the story would changed into a love tetragon as they all started fighting over her or she'd have spent the entire adventure in the middle of a group huddle.

And as for the sexual tension, she'll be suffering just as much as the rest of the guys, probably more-so since she's in a committed relationship and so wouldn't be able to make use of any local comfort they may come across.
