Flirty ☀ Cute ☀ Blunt ☀ Cheerful ☀ Holds Grudges ☀ Loyal

Flirty. If asked, anyone would describe Celeste as a huge flirt. If it's human and walks on two legs, she's going to try and flirt with it. Sometimes she flirts unintentionally by trying to just be friendly but most of the time it's completely intentional and always used to get her way.

Cute. Celeste likes cute things and is quite cute herself. At times she does not even realize she is being cute, but if she does, then she is liable to use it to her advantage.

Blunt. She can be rather blunt, not one to sugar-coat her words or actions. She tends to tell it like it is and if she hurts your feelings, she's not one to take her words back. That isn't to say she wouldn't comfort someone in distress but she will never treat someone like a child if they are not one. Babying she does not.

Cheerful. Celeste is a rather cheerful individual that is normally seen wearing a smile. With her sunny disposition, it's quite hard to feel sadness in her presence and if she notices you are sad, she will try her best to turn that frown upside down. Nothing ever seems to bring her down and even if it does, she would hide it with a smile.

Holds Grudges. Slight her, or do her wrong in any way, and she is not likely to forget it anytime soon. Celeste can be very stubborn in the fact that she can hold grudges for a ridiculous amount of time.

Loyal. Celeste is also very loyal to her friends and would do anything to keep them safe. She hates gossip of any kind and if she knows the source of said gossip, will take matters into her own hands to see it stopped. She also does not condone bullying of any kind and with stand up for that person even if she does not know them.

One thing that can be noted about Celeste is that she can be very scary when angered. Her face turns completely emotionless and the air goes still around her like the very universe is holding it's breath. And just when you think she is about to smite you down, she turns very sweet and might even walk away; leaving you there wondering what happened. Then in a few days or even a few weeks, you might find you need something of her and she will bring up the event that made her mad in the first place and either deny to help or require a favor in return.

What people do not know and which she has only confessed to one person is that when Celeste was younger she was the complete opposite of what she is now. The flirtiness is all a front to protect herself. When she was young and gullible, boy after boy would use her for their amusement and then break her heart at the end of it all. This went on for several years until she withdrew herself behind walls. Now she protects herself by breaking the boys hearts and refusing to become attached to anyone that she could lose.

☾ B A C K G R O U N D ☽
Celeste retains absolutely no memory before the age of six. Her very first memory is of opening her eyes and seeing the worried faces of her adopted mother and father hovering over her. She had been found wandering the streets, barefoot and filthy with a nasty gash on her head. They took her to the hospital where she was patched up. She didn't remember her name at all and there was no filed report of parents looking for their missing child. When no one stepped forward to claim her, Markus and Violet took her in and gave her a name. She had a brother five years older than her who adored her from the moment he laid eyes on her. Orion was always there for her, especially through the boy trouble she experienced when she got older. The twins were born and Celeste got to experience the joys of being an older sister to two rambunctious children. Life was going well until her parents jobs called them away to a neighboring planet where their ship was attacked by Cruxi. There were no survivors, thus leaving Orion and Celeste to take care of their younger siblings. Orion got a few jobs and when Celeste was old enough she was tested for Framewerk synchronization. After it was discovered she help a gift for that field, she was sent off for military training, vowing to avenge her parents deaths. Orion was slightly taken aback that she would leave him the sole care-taker of their younger siblings and angered that she would risk her life in that way.

FRAMEWERK CODE NAME
Wächter

NUMBER OF FRAMERWERK SYSTEMS
Signature Weapon System(s): 1
Secondary Weapon System(s): 1

SIGNATURE WEAPON SYSTEMS

MR- 88J "Heaven Piercer" Multi-Purpose Weapons System

The weapon starts as a 152 foot sniper rifle that fires electrified bullets. (Kinetic with Energy Coating). The weapon's shots are known to pierce through light and medium armored units with no problem. The weapon itself has no scope, as the targeting suite is located within the Frame itself. Meaning that the pilot will be able to zoom in and target from within the cockpit. When meele is needed, the weapon will then fold back to reveal a spearhead and be used as a spear. The weapon uses the electric charge from the previous bullets to charge the spear. Allowing for electric discharge on melee attacks.

SECONDARY WEAPONS SYSTEMS

B- 999Y "Star Blaster" Booster Engine

The B-999Y Booster Engine is mounted on the Frame's back and is a trans-atmospheric booster. When deployed by the pilot, a long needle-like point will extend to provide extra maneuverability in atmosphere. Its sole purpose is to accelerate the frame to extreme speeds in order to cover distance quickly. Thrust is only in one vector at a time.

@XxLyraxXThat framewerk is practically identical to Eiswolf. That's hilarious.

Also 'Cute and Cheerful' was my gimmick :c

[Ariamis]

@XxLyraxX
Hmm, a flirt, huh? Usually male pilots have that quality, so it's definitely interesting to see. Very in-depth personality and back story, good work.

The Framewerk is a good example of a jack-of-all-trades; while not as capable exclusively sniping or melee as specialized mechs like Eiswolf or Atty, she can decently do both, granted she gets the opportunity to land enough shots for her spear to charge up in power. The weapon will count as both a Kinetic and Energy weapon type.

The suit reminds me of Pacific Rim, and I approve. The sheet is accepted, you can post it to the character tab. I recommend you read pages 7 and 8 of IC while waiting to post.

Glossary

LZ: Landing Zone
PDF: Planetary Defense Force
L: Logic Gate
A: Atty
P: Paladin
E: Eiswolf
C: Caretaker
Y: Yeager
B: Black Star
N: Neo Angel
X: X-7
J: Jetto Chosa
W: Wächter

Trio of reverse triangles: Three Cruxi War Machines, various ranged and melee equipment.
Triangle: Cruxi Sniper.
Square: Cruxi Tentacle Beast.
Black dot: Mist.

Mist's effective radius is in squares completely inside the circle; less than 50% overlapped squares don't count. Circle's radius is medium range for weapon ranges. Framewerks can both move two squares in both axis and attack in the same post, with diagonal movement limited to one square while attacking. Framewerks can fully dash 4 squares without attacking, and diagonally can move two without attacking. The exceptions are both Yeager when using boosters and Jetto Chosa in jet form; both can add three squares to their axis movement and two squares for diagonal movement. Always specify where your Framewerk ended up at the end of your post. For example, Logic Gate moved to E3 (haha).

And a warning; if you fuck up too much, there is a real chance you may die. Unlike the training battle, this is a real war, and the gloves are off.

[Ammokkx]

@AriamisIs melee range the same square or a square next to the target?

[Ariamis]

@Ammokkx
Same square.

[AtomicNut]

Jamming prevents comm between mechs of the same area?

Also what kind of boost does siggy secondary boostpack offer?

[Ammokkx]

Now that I think about it, this kind of makes me think of Fire Emblem...

Also, the PDF is totally playing X-COM. They even got the right aliens for it.

EDIT: If I understand, Medium range is 3 Vertical or Horizontal squares or one diagonal square + one vertical/horizontal square? Then what is Long Range?

[JessieTargaryen]

Fuckin' Mutons >.[

Also, I'm a squad officer :D. Doom Squad best squad!

Also, confirmed that Doom exists in the same universe? :')

[Mr Rage]

@Ariamis a few quick things.
1) you didn't tag me either of the last to mass tags, it's OK because I check back so often, but just making sure you don't forget about little ol me.
2) are you left handed by chance?
3) yes, please confirm firing ranges.
4) I don't suppose I could have a preemptive charge on my wave surger, considering we were waiting for an attack? I suspect the answer is no, but I thought I might ask.

[Ariamis]

@AtomicNut
It prevents comms between the colonies and NOAH, but not within the same area.
The jetpack gives two additional squares of axis movement or one additional square of diagonal movement, but can only be used for a dash.

@Ammokkx
Long range is 7 squares axis or 5 squares diagonal.

@Jasonhero
Doomslayer is real, and he's still out there kicking ass.

@Mr Rage
1) Sorry, I was sure I got everyone tagged. I'll add you from now on.
2) Yes, did you guess it from the crap art?
3) What Ammokkx assumed of medium range is correct. To be more specific, the number of squares in the range also accounts for the square where the weapon is firing from.
4) You didn't mention charging the Wave Surger in your post. However, since you were preparing for an attack it would make sense for him to start charging the moment he saw the fleet, so I can give you one turn of charge already done.

[Gate Keeper]

@Ariamis Pushing the death thing to the side as a minor detail, where is magus landing?

[Ammokkx]

@Ariamis According to what you said, and assuming cruxi play by the same rules as we do (move two and still attack), this is the effective range for the two enemy snipers in Troas.

Snoipa

I... I think that there might be a slight unbalance in range here.

EDIT: Joppa isn't much better.

Snoipa2

[JessieTargaryen]

@Ariamis :')

So, to make sure, the comm blocking means I can still communicate with my squad, and respond to the order I was given?

[Ariamis]

@Gate Keeper
Magus landed in the landing zone, and then moved to flank Mist at E-3 before it was shot. And no, the pilot didn't die.

@Ammokkx
They first took the shot and then moved to those positions.
Edit: Oh, you mean to say it's unfair?

@Jasonhero
The squad can communicate among themselves, but the HQ channel got jammed before you could respond to it.

[Ammokkx]

@Ariamis Even if we keep that in mind, it then becomes

Hider

for Troas. Made this one in advance, don't know Joppa but you just subtract a few spaces. Anyway.

If we then consider tentacles are melee and standard units are equipped with one medium range weapon each, the only safe spot for this turn is B1. Goddamn we are screwed.

[Ariamis]

@Ammokkx
And I thought you guys wanted a clusterfuck?
Don't forget each of you can move and attack. If you target the correct enemies you can leave yourself in a good spot without getting overwhelmed.

Edit: But if enough people agree it's too unfair I can nerf some stuff as well. Just want to give you guys a challenge.

[Ammokkx]

@Ariamis Oh no, I'm happy with a clusterfuck. But I just think the snipers' range is a little wonky. They've got pretty much 75% of the map covered at all times. And I'm aware of a spot I can move Serah in that's relatively safe, don't worry.
