[OOC] Magica and Machina

[Desire]

@FlynnThat's fine, and since he is mostly mechanical I will not make the age detrimental to his physical attributes in any way. Glad you understnad! your character is now accepted.

[BytheSpleen]

For each ability on the Machina side, is the knowledge of manufacturing each of our items used inclusive? It would be rather skewed in favor of Magica if we didn't comprehensively know how each of our items worked.

Also, can these abilities be permanent augments for Bio-Machinae?

[Flynn]

@Desire Huzzah! I will do so!

[SepticGentleman]

I'm diggin' it.

[GummyCat]

@Desire
I removed the two and added a new ability. I was too lazy to put in two abilities to explain each other's combination with each other so I put them into a single one.

[hagroden]

So, what do ya think?

Sobek Cadwell

Name: Sobek Cadwell

Age: 34

Appearance:


Race: Neutral

Affiliation: 4 - Pure Neutral

Specialization: Conjuration, OMA-Machina

Abilities:
1 Mechanical Transmitting and Receiving Device - With mechanical ingenuity, Sobek has a small device which allows him to transmit vocal messages and receive them from someone else who also has access to such a device. (ie. A Walky Talky)
2 Shoulder-bag of Especially Substantial Storage - Such a marvelous contraption, this Cortex powered device has the ability to allow the bag to hold more materials and substances that outside of the bag would allow you to believe. This process is due to the rim of the bag which is a matter condenser that harmlessly compresses anything that passes by it, and reverses the process when something is pulled through it in the opposite direction. (ie. Bag of Holding)
3 Obscuring Fog - Through the spooky power of magic, Cadwell can conjure up a thick white fog which hampers the vision and smell of those who are within its boundaries.
4 Terrifying Termites - By incantation Sobek is able to conjure up a small collection of termites who obey his bidding from biting things to simply moving about.

[Desire]

@BytheSpleen Yes we do get the knowledge in the side of the Machina, and the Bio abilities can be permanent as long as they are listed in the abilities.

Akane Akagi

Name: Akane Akagi

Age: 24

Appearance: I'll admit most of my character's appearance are anime pics.

Race: Neutral

Affiliation: 3 - Magica-leaning neutral

Specialization: Destruction Magica / OMA-Machina

Abilities:

• Swordsmith: This tool allows it's users to create basic swords out of metal in around six minutes and will become process metals automatically after inputting the rough size of the sword(s), although it takes longer to create a speciality sword (depending on it's power), uses Cortex, cannot hold materials for multiple swords larger than a knife, and cannot be used to create two-hand swords.
• Mini Refiner: By using a Cortex shard and a non-magical source of fire to power it, the device can refine raw ores although this does not work with Cortex and takes around an hour to create a sheet of metal weighing around 10kg.
• Fire Creation: Allows the user to conjure fire with magic, with multiple purposes.
• Water Creation: Ice version of the Fire Creation ability. Note that they cannot be mixed together without having the water extinguish the fire.

[Desire]

@hagroden Cathluts seem a little, robotic, to me? For Magica summoning it has to be nature related, cannot have any man-made qualities.

Also with summoning, cortex in it's natural state is useless to machines unless refined. With Magica, you cannot summon the refined version. That's the rule of Magica... That and it'd grant an unlimited power source at a moment's notice and that would be kinf of OP.

Everything else looks fine

[Desire]

@Urbanliner Two things:

One, I'm not allowing any Machina and Magica abilities together, they are separate. At a later date, possibly, but starting out they must be separate. That means, you have to find new abilities for your first two.

And neutrals get 4, 2 Machina, 2 Magica, so you actually left one out! So keep a fire manipulation, give me another Magica and two Machina and we are good to go.

@Desire

Oh, okay. Gave her two separate abilities. I did have another Machina but nerfed that anyway just in case.

[Desire]

@UrbanlinerEverything looks fine besides the sword creation. If it's a Machina skill, then you'd have to physically craft these swords (although it wouldn't take overly long because of the advanced technology). You won't be able to magically poof a sword from your ass if you have an ingot. But if you plan on physically crafting a sword from metal and not magically, but using some form of technology, I'll accept it.

[Unfortunately]

Done.

Name: Uojak E. Skothzar

Age: 39

Appearance: Uojak stands at a fairly tall height of 5'11", with a decent build to match. A stubble wraps around his lower face, thickening at the sides and around the mouth. His irises are a dull grayish blue. Cheek and tear troughs are noticeably defined. Uojak's brown, tousled hair, just like most men, is plainly short. He is of a Caucasian complexion. His torso bears some scars, noticeably one near his chest when his heart was almost impaled in combat.
(RPer note: He'll be my first experiment on drawing men.)

However, seeing how he wears his bulky mechanical armor often, these features are not much seen.


Race: Machina

Affiliation: 7

Specialization: Mecha-Machina

Abilities: All of these abilities are under his armor's capabilities. The Peacekeeper, his personal suit, weighs as much as a morbidly obese man on its own and requires internal mechanisms to support Uojak's movements. Even with this function, the Peacekeeper is just as agile as a turtle. However, it is durable enough to withstand a heavy beating, at least not on the vulnerable parts such as its Cortex core in the chest... or directly to the face. A tube is available on the mask for breathing purposes, but it can also be used for eating and drinking when detached from the air supply.
Gatling Gun - 10mm caliber, 5,000 rounds per minute.
Cannon - 3 inch diameter round, 1 round every 2.1 seconds.
Saws - Retractable, concealed within arms. Half a meter in length.

(Just some personal addition.)Personality
Brought on by his service to the Machs, Uojak has developed a bit of a nature for conflict. It would mostly seem that he is loyal to his nation judging from his occupation, but in fact he doesn't really care that much about his race. As long as he gets paid, he is willing to partake in an operation to slaughter an entire village community (theoretically) for gold. Even then, Uojak's not very hardworking, so recently he's putting military work on hold to take a rest, relax and improve his suit.

He can be a wisecracker at times, making remarks that may be occasionally found rude. This is especially after having booze.

(Also this.)Background
In over 20 years of service to the Machs, Uojak had undergone plenty of risky missions and had endangered his own life several times. He had been mostly raised by his father, an alcoholic soldier, while his mother disappeared when he was three. It wasn't until Uojak was 11 when it was discovered that the mother didn't die or run away from abuse, but rather to have an affair.

Despite what it seems when one has an alcoholic soldier as a dad, Uojak went along well with him, but he inherited some undesirable manners such as his desire for beer, his view of conflict as a business, and some other things. Eventually after his father's retirement, Uojak began following in his footsteps, made his own suit, and served in the military of the Machs.

Recently, Uojak began a 1-year break on military work to relax and tweak the Peacekeeper.

@Desire

Thanks, clarified it is a crafting-based skill. What do you think about being able to make one sword in a hour and thirty minutes with little input from the character using it, though?

[Desire]

@UrbanlinerThat's perfectly fine, I'll say normal swords you can make relatively fast (Maybe five minutes) but any specialty sword takes longer depending on the power of it.

[Desire]

@Unfortunately I see nothing wrong with it, I give it my seal of approval!

[Desire]

Alright everybody please post their accepted character into the character list so I can get a head count as see if we can get this thing going. If you still need my approval, feel free to post OOC or PM me. Questions, comments, concerns, delusions, dilemmas, anything, I'm here!

Here we are. @Desire

Matthias Halidon

Name: Matthias Halidon

---

Age: 35

---

Appearance: Matthias stands at around six feet tall with a somewhat lean build. His facial and bodily features are a mystery, as he never allows any part of his body to be seen at any time. Matthias wears a set of custom-tailored working clothes, all colored in an assortment of blacks and grays. Turtleneck shirt, cuffed coat, gloves, trousers, belts and boots. Fairly standard for an engineer. What isn't standard is the simple helmet that he wears at all times, hiding his face from view.

Quick sketch done by me, will be replaced with a higher quality picture soon

---

Race: Mach

---

Affiliation: 7

---

Specialization: Mecha-Machina

---

Abilities:

• Mechanics Mastery - Matthias has spent the better part of his life building up an understanding of all things mechanical. If it's made of metal, he knows how it works, every inch to inch. This knowledge is the foundation all of his designs and prototypes are built upon. Automatons meant for all sorts of purposes both menial and convoluted hold a place in his career as an inventor. And many more ideas lie in wait to be constructed.
• Speculated Enhancements - There is some speculation as to what lies underneath Matthias' helmet, or any of his clothes for that matter, as he's not one to show even a bit of skin. Observations have claimed him as never needing to eat, drink, or even sleep. As well, he possesses enhanced strength and endurance for someone of his narrow stature. There is definitely some form of bio-mechanization at work, although to what extent is uncertain. He himself certainly didn't conduct it, as he possesses little to no skill in the field.
• Artificial Vocalization - Supposedly a feature of his helmet, Matthias can connect to any telecommunications device and speak through to its receiving end, and vice versa. This applies to similar devices many bio-machina practitioners implement on themselves.

[Conibear]

Yo @Desire what about my fellow?
