[OOC] Lone Star (Sci-Fi/Space Exploration/Criminal) - Party Full

Sadly most comic artists seem to believe that huge tits equals good reading.

@DJAtomika

And that 'female' means slutty trap. The original description for the character was that she wore a black leather bodysuit under a thick cloak, and you can see how that turned out.

[DJAtomika]

Yup. I'd have followed your design, maybe added some Final Fantasy-esque random straps or whatever, but it's cool.

[TheUnknowable]

A female warrior with proper armor? That's pretty rare in any media.

Let's see, there's Samus Aran, and the Female Spartan from Halo: Reach, and the women from Mass Effect and that's about it as far as I can remember. Except in Skyrim where armor is pretty much the same.

Also, for some reason those are all video games. Are they just a bit better at giving women proper armor?

I'm a professional writer with training in psychology. Whenever I work I tend to build up profiles for each character in my head and then let them play out the scene between them. Roleplaying like this is just good practice for my day job. :)

@SimplyJohn

That's awesome. How do you go about landing a job like that? I'm interested in becoming a Profession Writer myself. But between publishing houses and the trials of self-publishing, the book route seems like a far-fetch dream.

Was involved with plans for an online superhero comic a few years back where I developed the character of a bisexual cyborg superheroine with amnesia coming to terms with her sexuality and the revelation that she was a clone, which was a good challenge to write, but unfortunately the whole thing fell apart due to creative differences with the artists. ("For God's sake, she's A-cup. Stop sticking watermelons to her chest!")

@SimplyJohn

And you're actually serious? The whole thing fell apart because of the size of her boobs?

EDIT:

Also...MEZ IS THE FIRST ONE ON THE SHIP BITCHES! :P

Sevyns is going to murderize your soul.

Also for possibly making it into the rest of the ship harder

Haha! Visipians have no soul :P

Yo, @SimplyJohn, what is Mez expecting to find on the other side of this hatch? Like, how am I gonna describe it? Dark, Dingy and Gothic, or what? An image might help too :P

You and I remember Skyrim very differently...

@Kalas

Years and years and years of posting stories on forum sites, doing favours for writers and artists and generally networking with talented people so they can make introductions for you. The artist who made the reference image I posted for the character now works on a game called Relic Knights for example, and I'm waiting to hear back on some work for one of their expansions.

And you're actually serious? The whole thing fell apart because of the size of her boobs?

@Kalas

Not just that, but the boob size was an example of where the character designer and the artists couldn't get their ideas to tally up. By the time they'd finished getting little details ironed out some of them had already moved onto other projects and were no longer available.

Whenever you hear that someone left a project due to 'creative differences' what they really mean is that preproduction took so long the people involved had to find themselves some paying work before starving to death.

@TTwoThumbsUp

You almost make that sound like airlock hatches are put on ships for a reason, other than giving adventurers something to use as target practice. I mean, it's not like you're gonna have to keep the interior environment stable for the party now that two of the airlocks have been bypassed, is it?

Yo, @SimplyJohn, what is Mez expecting to find on the other side of this hatch? Like, how am I gonna describe it? Dark, Dingy and Gothic, or what? An image might help too :P

@Kalas

Picture Hadley's Hope when the marines arrived in the film Aliens. Dark, unpowered, abandoned, signs of small arms fire and grenade damage to the walls and deck plates, etc. And corridors, lots of corridors.

@SimplyJohn

Most assuredly unmarked and bulkheads sealing everything off with no restroom in sight. The shuttle ride was too long.

Truly, a ship from hell.

I'm actually looking on Google images for that sorta thing. XD

@TTwoThumbsUp

Unlike the shuttle the Lone Star was built at a high point in military design and there's a restroom positioned right next to the main hanger, across from the maintenance airlock. Like the rest of the deck it's not actually in working order at the moment, but it's there nonetheless.

If anyone had a way of scanning the ship to tell if there's lifesigns or power sources it could make things a lot easier for the party. Bringing that head back online is a primary objective after all.

Modded armor definitely fit the improper armor thing.
Female Armor Sucks

@TheUnknowable

Alena's Cold Steel armour gave great protection from Undead, plus a great discount in the tavern...

Cold Steel

The +5 Intimidation from her tattoos still didn't make up for flaws in Barbara's new heavy armour...

Face Is A Picture

It's not just fantasy armour though. Don't forget the reason all the female Stormtroopers died off so easily...

By the Emperor's Black Bone!

[TheUnknowable]

And I thought normal Stormtrooper armor was bad.

[DJAtomika]

I'm making a post where Simon's conducting a scan of the docking bay area, but I gotta sleep. I'll finish it tomorrow, so I'll keep you posted.

[TTwoThumbsUp]

By the by, have we broken through the depressurization area of the airlock, or only the first door?

@SimplyJohn

When Marga sees the damage, she's going to put on her goggles. Readings for chemical traces of various things will appear. Now, what do you want them to explain and then not explain/leave unanswered?

@Bonjour xx

As with anything like that, just write that she uses her goggles and then I'll make a post to tell you what readings she gets.

@TTwoThumbsUp

The outer hatch of the Lone Star's maintenance airlock has been wrenched off, but the inner hatch is still intact and now on lockdown having sensed the hull breach.

Most of the party is floating about in the umbilical between the shuttle and the Lone Star, which has air supplied from the shuttle's reserves and so you can all still breath. What the environment is like on the other side of the Lone Star airlock is unknown at this time, although the fact that there was air still in the airlock itself should be a clue.

Right now the outer airlock door on the shuttle is open and the inner one closed, but since the umbilical is stable it's just a matter of waiting for one to close before the other instantly opens if any of you need to pass through it.

[Bonjour xx]

Am writing a post, but it will probably be up tomorrow.
