@Gowi kk also i'm staying with this guy because i like playing evil for once. Also ill reread everything and try to fix everything. But there is one thing that's gonna be a problem. I suck at grammar not because i'm lazy but because i seriously do not know when i'm screwing up badly grammar wise.


English isn't my first language either, you just have to proof read twleve times before posting something.

Oh hey, actually, can I say something about Joshua Ray yet more specifically his 'Apollo' NC?

I'd like it if very few people, if any, actually knew that it had the ability to eject armor in combat. At least, the other New Anchorage and enemy pilots. I just have a really cool little scenario in my mind where it looks like an inter-NC fight could go either way, until suddenly the Apollo goes into emergency mode and begins assuring that the New Anchorage pilots were going to win.

Of course, that's a bit of a pipe dream but still.

Yes and No – the majority of pilots at New Anchorage should have not much information on this unless they’ve read an advanced dossier or know about it. However I think people like Michael Graham will know, and if you’ve ever used this ability pre-IC it might have some awareness wherever you were from/what corporation you might’ve pissed off/etc.

Name: Jan van Gent
Appearance:Jan stands at 1.65 meters tall. He has fair skin, dark-blonde hair styled shortly and combed to the side. He has little standards concerning the clothes he wears, usually wearing whatever he managed to get on the cheap from a clothes vendor. The only criterium to him is that something needs to be functional. It doesn't need to be pretty or graceful, it just needs to work.
Age: 27
Role: scouting/ assault
Personality :A rash and boorish man by nature. Jan is a spirited individual with a somewhat cruel streak to his actions. He doesn't particularly mind if other people are served by his actions, but is ultimately mostly in it for himself. Despite this though, he places great value on loyalty and mutual respect, even if it is for the slightly pragmatic reason that a long-time partner is the best partner.
Backstory: A storied and grizzled independent. Jan van Gent was never part of the big five, instead operating with all sorts of factions all over the world as a mercenary contractor. He has probably fought with and against every major player on the current global stage, switching allegiances in quieter periods when hsi current employer's funds dried up, though always taking care not to antagonize anyone enough to draw the wrong sort of attention.

A recent stint as a volkov subcontractor saw Jan assigned to New Anchorage. Political machinations above his control then saw volkvov retract their support, with jan's contract being terminated in the fallout. Jan simply shrugged and renegotiated a direct contract with New Anchorage's commander. Just another day on the job.
Tactical Preference & Skills: Jan has great proficiency and experience at spotting and exploiting oppurtunities in a tactical situation. He has very good aim with all equipped weapons even at high speeds. He can concentrate on whatever his current target is without anything feasibly breaking his stride, though he is suspectible to a sort of tactical tunnel vision as well.
Notes: Jan returns from the previous thread.
Text Color: None due to player bias/laziness

NC
Codename: Goldenspur
Appearance: The goldenspur is a grizzled mercenary machine, much like its pilot. Its frame is painted a muted black with gold details. While standing upright, its silhoutte is very visible due to its signature custom-built shoulder plates, somewhat resembling the skeletal wings of the winged hussar cavalry of old. These shoulder plates are folded over the NC's backside when in standby, but stretch to their full impressive length when shoulder weapons are deployed.
Body & Type: A medium-class tank body. Original manufacturer is difficult to determine due to the amount of disparate custom parts mixed and matched to create the NC. Armor plating has been stripped and replaced with ligther variants on all sides save for the front to allow for greater manouverability. The NC has the unusual ability to fold downwards into a threaded tank-vehicle designed for speed and getaways.
Equipment & Armaments: Goldenspur's main armament is a high-power plasma lance designed to punch through heavy armor and inflict catastrphic damage on internal systems. It requires a long pre-charge time and consumes most of the reactor's energy output when fired, also requiring a cooldown period afterwards.

The goldenspur has two standard grade gimballed autoguns mounted on its shoulders. Energy consumption on them is low, and the caliber is sufficient to deal with most non-NC targets as well as posing a threat to NCs with lighter armor.

In terms of defensive measures, the goldenspur has a standardized ECM array to deal with fire and forget missiles, a radar dampening coating on its armor, and a set of smoke launchers to disrupt visual contact. The smoke has a peculiar chemical composition that disperses lasers fired through it.

I don't know whether to be intimidated or thrilled that there are at LEAST 10 different people (including me) working on this. The most people I've ever RP'd with is 4-5, and I'm still definitely more used to just one-on-one, even after.. months?

Not gonna drop out or anything of course, but.. jeez hello there people. xD

One way to view it is that we can split up on multiple adventures at once. So more action.

As for the post, as long as the no of posts a day doesn't extend to the IC then I'm happy. I know Gowi mention he'll control the pace. I just can't keep up with the super Speed posting and prefer longer detailed stuff.

<Snipped quote by boomlover>

Without a Mech CS alongside it I cannot give much of a proper review, but I can tell you that a lot of what I see here is a unfortunate mess. Alongside the grammar errors and fluidity of the descriptions there is also a backstory that is pretty “out there” even for the anime sheen I’ve given NC Quest as the new (forum version) GM. Whilst I would have no issues with the ruthlessness shown by Margaret, there is the whole “my house collapsed on me, I woke up in the hospital, she taunted me before kidnapping me, and THEN I was ALSO tortured before being saved by my father’s friend.” – Like, I’m not trying to rip your CS to shreds here. We have a lot of minimalist sheets in this game and some more detailed ones so this isn't a case of it not being detailed enough... but this doesn’t give me a lot of confidence going forward.

If you are serious about this character, I recommend reading it over with your own eyes and creatively figuring out a way to get the character you want without having to take a hatchet to the whole thing. If that’s something you want to do and are not disheartened by my reply, then I’ll look it over again.


Always pick one thing to focus on as a key moment for that character. Speaking to Gowi in pm I had to work out how an Australian with a pretty high tech NC would end up in a small town with a busted piece of crap. Being from a country that isn't listed as having much going on and close to the Red Star region, I used that as a motive.

Looking at Tahlia, she actually doesn't have a sad story at all. She was just forced to move and explore. Not every character suits the world of sadness and I somewhat realised that with my last character, Madison, where her creation and back story was extremely dark, and yet she was a bit of a wild character. It actually forced me to dislike her because I was playing two parts and if I simply took out the darkness, then she would be a stronger build.

@NuttsnBolts, Alexander would like Tahila a lot; perhaps they could have known each other before Alexander escaped Red-Star?

@Letter Bee Possibly. I wouldn't say that worked together or had much in the way of communications seeing as Tahlia acted as a stand alone fortress for much of her time, but records in the Red Star database would show much of both their details. So the name an identity may ring a bell.

Tahlia could come across as a bit patriotic with her gear (bit of a trait I was going for) so that could cause some friction between the two at the start.

@NuttsnBolts, Heh, Tahila should be more concerned about Alexander's reputation for capturing enemy pilots to get them enslaved.

Do note that while, yes, NCQ is an action RP it is still dramatic and I do love to play off the functions of the pilots on-base and in-field. There is a balance I will try to achieve and I will do my best to make sure the pacing feels natural. If players think a scene is taking too long there’s some discussion to be had— but I don’t want non-combat to feel like an afterthought. LHG100 set a lot of standards in the original, but you will see I have a different dynamic. I hope that we’ll have concise and clear communication going forward.

@Natsucooldude hey , I know this might sound strange but I really like your CS and Ive actually found pictures that I think would suit your pilot and NC based on your descriptions, would it be okay for me to show them to you? (I like the challenge of finding pictures to match) :)
