Abberant Dawn - A BeeNCQuest Mecha RP

@Finny

Going full-bore on making an AC, eh? 1-3 or 4-5?

Metroid: Final Protocol

What? That doesn't really explain how a small team of mercs are going to survive a run-in with a hyperaggressive parasitic organism like the X, let alone fend them off or destroy them.

And what is this talk of "the plan"? How do you directly attack a plague other than firebombing entire planets?

Metroid: Final Protocol

I'm interested, though I'm kinda iffy on fighting something as virulent as the X with a bunch of ragtag Mercs.

Adam Philips

Name: Adam Philips

Appearance:

Hider

Age: Roughly 33 years old.

Personality: Adam is hard to read, and harder to get close to because of his coldly professional attitude. He is suspicious of outsiders he perceives to be "snooping", often including anyone purposefully seeking him out without an easily discernible reason. He has been observed warming up to comrades outside of battle, but remains wary until a friendship solidifies. He shows approval for anyone who actively seeks self-improvement, and will provide indirect support if the opportunity arises. He seeks to remain busy or linked to his NC, otherwise he remains quiet and reflects.

Backstory:Born into the Smoke Bears bandit-clan of Denver-Vegas controlled Appalachia, Adam's life was nomadic and fraught with danger from it's very beginning. As a child he often heard the tale of his people from the Elder, that their home had been beneath the mountains since before the destruction of the world, their rise to power in early years of the nuclear winter due to the gifts handed down from their ancestors, and their tradition of martial prowess and practice before the return of the Corporations. He learned their land, and their peace, had been stolen by Denver-Vegas in their unending greed. Hunted, Adam's people became bandits and raiders, using their ancestral knowledge of the mountains to ambush DV's convoys, their preference for vehicles a hindrance in the rugged terrain where NCs reigned supreme. He grew up to admire the Elder, who guided the Smoke Bears' crown jewel, All Nerves as it's Companion.

As Denver-Vegas' hold on the land strengthened, the Smoke Bears began to decline. Their supplies dwindled as their enemies changed paths, sent greater numbers of NCs and began hunting for their camps. With the future looking bleak, the bandits lost their leader, their idol dormant without it's companion. The Bandits divided, those who sought to stay would hide their identities, burn their flags and become just another settlement. Those who would keep the mantle of the Smoke Bears would seek out among their number the Elder's replacement through the Trials, and would flee their home in the hopes that their brothers and sisters might survive, even if they were run down. All the clan's young tested themselves in the Heart of the Mountain, and three candidates rose to be tested against All Nerves itself. Only Adam could withstand the link, the others rejected, immutable. They would serve the Smoke Bears as pilots of captured NCs, but they would not come near All Nerves of their own volition again. The Trials complete, they chose to bide their time in order to give those fleeing a chance to slip into safety unnoticed.

The time had come, and the Smoke Bears sped away from their home under cover of night, beating a hasty retreat east, the knowledge that their mission would protect their people was wind at their backs. Their destination was a port on the Atlantic, where they would steal ships from the unsuspecting Corporation and flee their homeland. In the fighting, many of the Smoke Bears fell defending their brothers and sisters, yet still more made away into the night on their pilfered crafts to a land they had only heard of, to "Haven". Things were not so simple, and the Smoke Bears had difficulty adapting to their new life, stifled by promises of freedom turned lies. Haven was no home to them, demanding tribute just as the corporations did to simply live on the land. Money was needed to see his people free, and so Adam found himself a Mercenary. Once more, All Nerves and it's companion would protect their people.

Tactical Preferences and Skills: Adam's experience makes him suited to Guerilla Warfare and Offense-oriented strategy. During combat, Adam remains mobile at all times, and has learned to maintain accuracy on the move in order to compensate for his NC's lack of melee and to utilize it's much greater speed.

Outside of combat, Adam is a skilled hunter, tracker and trapper. He also is also a capable butcher thanks to her early service to his clan. Adam greatly enjoys poker, stakes or no, and is notoriously difficult to beat among pilots and mechanic crews.

Notes: Adam is intensely protective of his "family" and his NC, protecting them above all else.

@Letter Bee Arright. I'll look over All Nerves again before posting the CS.

@vietmyke are you still here? I don't want to leave you behind, but it kinda feels like that's whats happening.

Hyrule's Civil War (Zelda RP)

@Vertigo

yeah, I think Telma would veto that immediately, Just trying to buy some might set the guards on them, and they'd likely be useless if the intense rain soaks them, or puts the fuses out.

Countryside, eh? Hope the weather is good, or at least better than it is on the east coast right now.

Roa

Castle Town, Under The Well

Roa's worry was replaced with confusion. More bodies lay behind the door, Hylians wearing the colors of the Guard. "Why? Why would Guardsman turn on their own?" Roa shook her head, struggling to keep her frustration in check. "How anyone can justify slaying their own aside, how can they turn their backs on the Royal bloodline? Do they not understand that King Rolo is not-" Roa held her tongue as her training asserted itself. Better to remain silent than to succumb to frustration. Shaking her head, a chill ran down her spine as a familiar noise reached her ears.

Roa's voice was barely more than a whisper. "Do you hear that?" Roa stepped to the side, looking through the door and out into the poorly lit room beyond. She spoke softly to the Drifter beside her, even as the noise of movement through water became louder. "If we intend to go, we should do so immediately. We are not alone and the door has ensured we will be discovered." Roa shot a worried glance to the rest of the group before turning her gaze to the Drifter. "I am sorry for doubting you. It is clear that we have all been called upon to protect the bloodline of Hylia." She turned back to the doorway. "This is our only chance to avoid bloodshed. To run and fight only as necessary."

@CaptainBritton

I guess they just made it seem faster/flashier in the anime, huh?

Hyrule's Civil War (Zelda RP)

@Zeroth

Seems so. Working up a post now.

@Vertigo

wouldn't the best bet for a low-intel assassination be to set up a trap/ambush and attack from a vantage point?

Also, leaving for twenty days? dang. Enjoy your trip.

Edit: Product, mind making a judgement call on A) if "conjure light source" is a spell and/or how it works, and B) If conjured weapons and items cast dim/bright light?

Also Roa post up.
