[OOC] Over the Ages Episode 1: All that Remains

[Monotonous]

Cheese cake is pretty good.

[Xilaw]

@Whoami Do you mind answering this question:

...what happens to the body of a killed Immortal and where does he respawn after two days?

@Xilaw

[Whoami]

Ah right, I saw this question earlier but was too busy to answer.

The body remains where it is or was if it was completely destroyed. This is the immortals most fragile point as anybody can do anything with the bodies afterward; which goes to my lore where immortals have been captured but never held, usually because when they wake up, they usually escape with the use of magic or another group of immortals comes to get them out.

Immortals work together to try and prevent this, so if one dies, the other(s) can take the body to a safe place so they can resurrect. If a body is completely destroyed, it's advisable to just keep an eye on the area and be ready for when the immortal resurrects. Body parts come back in an instant flash of light, so a full body being resurrected is just an incredibly bright flash and boom, human. It should be noted that clothes don't regenerate with the immortal, so the others on recovery duty should pack a change of clothes for them when they return. :P

This information will be added to the Immortals codex entry after I have gotten the rest of the codex established so people can begin working on their characters in full detail.

[WanderingSpirit]

Random thing from all this technology talk earlier... Soooo... Does this mean no colonies on deh moon?

[Whoami]

No colonies on the moon, no.

'Robotics, AI, and Augmentations' sub-section added to the 'Technology' Codex entry.

More sub-sections are currently being worked on. Next is 'Vehicles: Civilian and Military'

[WanderingSpirit]

Interesting, is it possible to host an AI into your own body like an augmentation in a sense? I want a mini-Jarvis (or Navi... but prefer the former) with me if possible.

@WanderingSpirit

Well it wouldn't be impossible. But the AI would be destroyed if the region where it's processing unit is gets destroyed. With that in mind, you'd probably want to have replaceable class 1 or 2 AI or have the AI in a safe location while your character has a sort of neural uplink connected to it at all times, in which case you would just need to get a new uplink if it gets destroyed.

[The Omnipotent Sphere]

My sheet is almost done, I just need to decide her real birth name and place/year.

[The Omnipotent Sphere]

Character Creation

"Greetings, immortal. I am the Illuminati's new AI superintendent, Sigil. I oversee and collect data for the Illuminati so that you don't need to busy yourself with trivial tasks. I haven't recognized you in my database so I must ask you a few questions before you can return to the world. It shouldn't take too long, unless you decide to give me your millennia long history. Worry not! I am a patient AI, and I will pretend to listen to you while you ramble on for hours. Now without further ado, let's begin."

Birth Name:
"My birth name was Morgan le Fay."
*Current Name:
"I'm rather fond of the name Cytherea Karanak, I think I'll be keeping it for a while."
*Alias:
"During missions I use the alias Avalon, at least for now."
Gender:
"No, I like the sound of error-unidentifiable."
Birth Place/Age:
"I was born in England during the fifth century following Christ's birth, I couldn't tell you the precise year as it's slipped my mind." (Britain/5,920 years old.)

Physical Profile

"Tall enough." 5'10" (178 cm)
*Weight:
"Wouldn't you like to know." 141 lbs (64 kg)
*Hair Color:
"Can't you see my luscious copper locks, Sigil?"
*Eye Color:
"My eyes have been called emeralds, but those are a little dull in comparison."
Skin Color:
"I can understand your doubt, but this porcelain-white is my natural, unblemished hue."
*Physical Build:
"I'm athletic enough to stay ahead of you, and feminine enough that you'd want me there."
*Tattoos:
"I like tattoos, but how much more can you add to a masterpiece?"
*Scars:
"My skins been ruined before, but it never lasts for long."
*Other:
"Nothing that I want you to see, at least."

Psychological Profile
Positive Qualities:
"I'm the best, of course. I may not be a tactical genius, but I'm a fast thinker with quick hands and a tongue for diplomacy. And if I can't convince someone, as unlikely as that sounds, I know how to silence them."
Negative Qualities:
"I'm vain, some people say I have a short-temper, I'm too quick to pull the trigger when I'm bored and too slow to pull the trigger when I'm having fun, and I'm dishonest."
*Likes:
"Such a gentleman, Sigil, but I have more aggressive interests. Manipulation, being one, and a good thrill being another. I love leading men into a trap, and escaping unscathed when I'm found out. Life was so boring before high-speed chases."
*Dislikes:
"I don't like losing, or dying, although they usually go hand in hand. I also don't like being used, excepting Sempra-Tor, of course."
*Other:
"I love talking about myself, and talking to you, Sigil. I can't imagine how the two are related."

Requisition

"When men threaten me, I like to burn their faces off with a Plasma Rifle, or cut them down to size with a simple monomolecular blade. Of course, if they're using dangerous toys, I might have to summon my Knight."
*Armor:
"I find that the Valkyrie II Exosuit shows off my figure while protecting it, and gives me the full range of motion needed for making a narrow escape."
*Transportation:
"I like to travel fast, but have the power to handle dirty jobs, and the Hyperion VTOL Gunship is perfect for that."
*Devices & Tools:
"Most of the tools a normal operative would need are covered by my augmentations, but if I need something I'll ask."
*Supplies:
"My armor comes prepared to neutralize pain and repair most wounds; all I need is ammunition, rations, and fuel cells."
*Augmentations:
"I prefer discreet augmentations, like the fully integrated Combat Analysis Engine which calculates everything from my coordinates to bullet trajectories, all from the comfort of my skull."
*Other:
"No, you were quite thorough."

'Vehicles: Civilian and Military' sub-section added to the 'Technology' Codex entry.

[Lord Wyron]

Hey guys, after careful pondering over just simply what to make and finding no inspiration, I'm gonna be pulling out. Good luck you guys! Have fun! ^^

[WilsonTurner]

@Whoami

Well
Damn
My character's idea of 'rescuing' fellow immortals was gun-running into the prison or whatever, with a bomb strapped to his chest, getting all the immortals he can, and then blowing himself up if he can't possibly get out alive or uncaptured, blowing up the other immortals with him.

But now that won't work as well :c

[WanderingSpirit]

After hammering in the nail I finished my 1st Immortal, now Im just waiting for more Codex pages to come out ^.^

Mr. Fancypants <- Done unless edits are needed

@WanderingSpirit

Well, you didn't list any actual weapons for starters. Things you might choose to coat in so that you can get that cut and buy that crucial time to escape.

[WanderingSpirit]

@Zarkun
What? You don't think a kiss could be fatal? Want me to prove that >;D Besides, weapons are for warriors, he's just a guy who very good at talking out of things and if needed and add some 'spice' into things.

(Still, I might just do that)

[Zarkun]

Kisses can be very deadly. But it's the kiss you don't expect that's deadliest. The guy kinda comes across as an assassin type person if he were to be born differently then he was.

Hider

That was not what I started the thought with. My trains are easily derailed lately.

[Whoami]

I have work till 9:15 pm PST tomorrow and the same on the following day. I will try to finish the Technology portion of the Codex tomorrow and follow up with Magic the day after. I appreciate seeing all of the character sheets! I have worked out a Co-GM so once the main sections of the Codex are completed, we will deliberate on the sheets. Since some have dropped out, it is highly likely that all of them will be accepted. If that is the case, be prepared for some GM scrutiny to line the sheets up more accurately with the lore. I doubt I'll need to do that all too much since you all are faithfully relying on the Codex to make your characters. Thank you for the interest and dedication shown thus far. :)

Off to bed I go!

"I rarely change my name and I only do it out of necessity. I switch between a few names every lifetime. My current name is Marcus Kiu."
*Alias:
"I only answer to Echo while on missions."
Gender:
"You need a hotfix on that scanner of yours ASAP. I'm a male."
Birth Place/Age:
"I was born in the land you may refer to as Far Asia today. It was once a land ruled by the Han dynasty in my time. Exact year of my birth is 183BCE. That makes me roughly 6503 years old."

Physical Profile

:

Height:
"I am 5'10."
*Weight:
"I'm about 200 pounds. That's 90 kilograms in case your converter is malfunctioning also."
*Hair Color:
"My hair is black."
*Eye Color:
"Eyes are also black."
Skin Color:
"I've never been good with colors so I'm going with yellow."
*Physical Build:
"You're not usually this perverted are you, Sigil? I'm a buff guy with lean muscles. Not too big, though. I prefer maneuverability over strength which is why you'll rarely see me in one of those bulky exo-suits."
*Tattoos:
"None."
*Scars:
"I have scars upon scars on my back from whipping and stabbing, cuts on my chest from torment with a switchblade and I'm missing a toe... or two. I also have a bullet wounds on my left thigh, neck – that was a close one-, and one on my right arm just beneath the shoulder. Oh, and a laser burn on the left side of my waist from a laser gun. As you can tell, I haven't been very lucky recently."
*Other:
"Nothing spectacular. I guess it's worth a mention that I haven't been killed for the past 200 years. On the other hand, I've more than enough scars to show for it. Oh, and I'm left handed."

Psychological Profile

Positive Qualities:
"I'm very proficient in hand to hand combat, sword art and I'm very resourceful. I use guns only when necessary and I can't say I'm bad at it either. I'm most adept for stealth missions. I do not back down from a challenge, but I do consider myself wise enough to retreat when I calculate that my odds are not looking good. I've read countless books on warfare, from Art of War by Sun Tsu, whom I knew personally, to Warring and the Like by gen. Lindon Cowell, whom I killed myself. The book was terrible, by the way. Battle tactics and strategy is my forté. As a stealth fighter, patience is my virtue."
Negative Qualities:
"I'm a terrible driver. Do not, under any conditions, trust me with a wheel or a control stick. I'd say I haven't been socializing enough with my comrades. In fact, I don't know them well despite being acquainted with some of them for thousands of years. I rather spend my time on my own, studying books or practicing close combat."
*Likes:
"Yoga. No, Sigil it is not funny. It brings me peace which helps me concentrate on my tasks. I also like books, swords and martial arts. And cake."
*Dislikes:
"I dislike hotheads. Their arrogance and misjudgment is what leads to us being captured. I cannot depend on them hence why I refuse to go on missions with them. I also dislike cowards. There's nothing more annoying than someone you trust leaving you behind to save their own ass. I have a bad case of arachnophobia. If you tell anyone I will shove my katana in your circuit."
*Other:
"I speak several languages, including old Manadarin, old English, old Arabic, old Persian and, of course, modern Terranese."

Requisition

*Weapons:
"My primary weapon is always a sword. I don't leave anywhere without it. Cyber Katana goes wherever I go. I also carry a small knife. You never know when you might need it. It's usually strapped around my left leg."
*Armor:
"Like I said. I prefer maneuverability which is why I have an agile exo-suit. It is capable of withstanding considerable trauma without restricting my movement too much. It's made of special fibers which are able to sustain a lot of damage from modern weapons. It doesn't give me any extra strength, however. I rely mostly on my own set of skills and fast movement to take on my enemies."
*Transportation:
"I hate driving. I cannot do it and I do not own any transportation. If it's a taxi so be it. I'm not unfamiliar with public transport either. I usually get a ride from my comrades, anyway."
*Devices & Tools:
"I own a gauntlet that has some neat tricks. First and foremost it has a stunning device attached to it. It also has a small probe with a camera and an interface through which I can control the probe. It's very useful when gathering intelligence. I also have a small bag on my belt in which I keep marble-sized smoke grenades and a tool kit with a screwdriver, small hammer and a small hacking device that gets me past coded and password protected doorways."
*Supplies:
"Painkillers and a med-kit sound about right. If I carried anything more I wouldn't be very agile for the stealth missions, now would I?"
*Augmentations:
"None. I rely on the good ol' mother nature.

...Fine, I have some genetic enhancements. I can jump higher than a normal person."
*Other:
"No, I believe we covered everything."

<Snipped quote by Ghost Shadow>
Immortals stop aging from the point they are granting immortality. Simply put, if you are granted at the age of 30, you're 30 for the rest of your life.

@Whoami

According to google, aging means the process of growing old. This means that immortals can still mature right? As in, a 2 year old immortal toddler won't be forced to walk on stubby legs forever, right?

I just have to assure myself before setting my character's age.
