A ship the size of a moon is a little excessive

... That's phrased like you wouldn't immediately shoot such a concept down. This is interesting.

Guys go ahead and start without me by the way, this CS is proving to be a little bit more troublesome than I thought and I have to go without my computer for three days starting tomorrow.

I will still participate, but cannot simply jump in instantly.

This sounds OP, but yet again I haven't seen a sheet yet. Gadgets are akin to the armor upgrades in Halo, like the Active Camouflage or the hologram copy.


Again, it's a machine mind. While I intended to keep it's body fairly low tech in most regards (think Transformers meeting Mad Max) there is the inescapable problem that just the basic stuff an AI this advanced needs to stay alive has some fairly awesome alternative applications. For example snacking on asteroids for resources like a meatsack needs food. That same basic ability to sustain itself means it has industrial capacity.

I was going to limit myself to 21st century technology. The more advanced a design becomes, the longer it takes to build so for example a microsat for a GPS system can be farted out in under an hour, a full blown Predator Drone takes two weeks (and then that sucker still needs to be brought to the planet's surface and it still needs to be armed), a world war 2 era bomber with remote controls one week and so on.
Important heads-up, I'm making a new section of the sheet. This is the "gadgets" section, and will contain all non-offensive tools which a character can deploy. Please take some time to add this section to your sheet. There is a limit of three gadgets per character.


... How the #$%^ would I quantify what constitutes as a 'gadget' to a collective AI of several tens of thousands of sub-minds, each of which carries a spark of Mad Science?

EDIT to be more clear, my character is an AI like the Geth from Mass Effect. There is no real functional difference between 'it's body' and 'it's ship'. Said ship can charitably be described as a bit of a kit-bash and the AI itself is of a Mad Scientist bent.
How did this happen you may ask? Allow me to elaborate.

On the 30th of June 2015, Megabots Inc. challenged Suidobashi Heavy Industries to a Giant Robot Duel.

Suidobashi has accepted the challenge.

Now for those not in the know, who are these people? In single sentences: Megabots Inc. was a company built on a kickstarter campaign to build an American Giant Robot. Suidobashi Heavy Industries is a Japanese company that built the first ever Giant Robot in the world as a PR stunt.

No more animations. No more CGI. No more clever camera work to make small models look big. Now if you have problems with any of the pilots, with their character or their robot design, you can go out, build your own giant robot, and punch them in the cockpit.

In this very universe, in this very solar system, on this very planet IT IS HAPPENING.

1st of July, 2016, it will HAPPEN.

GET. HYPED.

One problem that I noticed, guys. Starting next week, I will be on vacation for thirteen days. Unfortunately, I will be unable to post while on vacation. Would you guys still be interested if I didn't start the RP until after I get back?


Aye cap'n!

$%^# I just accidentally pressed enter on my feedback thingmajigger without entering something. In my opinion the guild could really do with an integrated dice roller of some description, so I am letting people know this way.

I was honestly expecting this. Nothing against you, and it really was a lot of fun. Good luck, you crazy tank-driving bastard, you.


Thanks mate. As far as writing Marcus out of the story is concerned, well, he does experiment with high explosives and other dangerous stuff a lot. A lab accident will kill a person just as dead as a Beowulf.
