Metroid: Final Protocol

I promise Kat is not trying to undermine Cassius's leadership

@UltimoScorp

No, her thought is rational, but she forgets they are in sand that these creatures will burrow around. This can make them unpredictable, the closer they are to walls, the safer they will be because it forces them to play on more limited ground where they cannot pincer you.

Metroid: Final Protocol

Cassius was not denying her -- however, a thought occurred to him. "At the very least we can get them closer to the bunker, staying far out is the most suicidal thing we could do! Move closer to the bunker, splitting up, or not!"

He would admit she isn't wrong, but one thing also occurred to him... These were creatures, not organized people, who they follow, or burrow around to, would not matter due to the fact of them not being able to predict where they'd go.

"If they can burrow, it would be wiser to collectively move to the bunker, if we can collectively get in, then the odds would be even better, worse case is we are stuck killing one off before we enter. Fight only what you need to, and leave the rest!" These were the most rational orders he could think of given the situation.

They could pass under sand, loop around, there was no real way to determine where they'd go until action was taken, and the reality is, split up, or not, their odds are better if they move to the bunker at any rate, if closer to the walls, it means the creatures have less chances to come from different angles. At least, that is how he rationalized it. "If we are closer to the walls, they have less directions to swarm us from, making them easier to hit!" He was trying to clarify his logic to them.

Metroid: Final Protocol

Walking through a desert wasteland wasn't his idea of a trip, but his suit kept him cool, and not melting. Carrying a pack his back, with a sarong on his leg with a crescent moon shape, an emblem really -- was a symbol of his status. Humans would not know what it means, nor the federation, but that was fine. His dark armor was more frame fitted, with slight bulk around the legs to not allow entry to other foreign bodies,a coat over the chassis to make him easily identifiable to his companions as well, it was sleeveless, and for the most part, nothing got in the way.

Reviewing Kaze's profile, he can't say he was surprised, but he was impressed... and clearly an opinionated man who did not tolerate too much animosity, and ignorant sense of heroics. Such should typically be the case, everything should remain uniform in a operation.

But with the sand parting ways for -- good god... What the hell was that? -- Wait... He's seen this in the BSL report... The head was the weakpoint, but with rapid rolling movement, and unfavorable terrain... he feared even if you could consistently peg one with his Gauss Rifle, that it would be an unwieldy waste of time. The only thing that made Cassius' blood curdle was ignorance, and seeing David run out ignorantly to face a treat where the terrain was not in their favor.

Others were eager to break into a suicidal fight, to protect a machine more than capable of getting away? Cassius was about to issue his first set of orders, and they better listen, or he was going to leave them behind.

"Fall back into the Bunker! Restore the turrets into working orders, and get that droid into that Bunker!" War is won through cunning, and understanding resources, not charging through them. Cassius began to hike it in fast gear to the Bunker, making a mad dash, if the others were smart, they'd follow him.

It was me joking about his macho mindset.

I'll probably post tomorrow.

Metroid: Final Protocol

You just see David grab one with his mouth while screaming at it.

If everyone can once again post what kind of character (race/class) they wanna make, please do so! I wanna keep tabs on what characters we're planning on making.

@Ambra

Adopted Miqo'te,Keeper of the Moon.
Resides in Limsa Lominsa, probably a Rogue of some type seeing as he can't be summoner.
Mostly because I dunno if expansion classes are allowed either.

Probably some type of Courier to make money before being roped into some adventure.


But this would be him as a Scholar.

ᴀ ғɪɴᴀʟ ғᴀɴᴛᴀsʏ xɪᴠ ʀᴘ

@AmbraWhat if their background prevents them from following a naming convention?

Like, say an infant could never recall their name if they never knew their family? Them being adopted and what not? A Hyur would not know their exact naming convention, and they'd not want to give a Miqo'te from their culture out of fear of possibly insulting them?

Edit: Hold up, I thought I just saw a post about naming convention, what happened to it?

ᴀ ғɪɴᴀʟ ғᴀɴᴛᴀsʏ xɪᴠ ʀᴘ

Worst case scnario, my Miqo'te could lean into Scholar as a backup healer, but he seems like he might be a Rogue- or someone dex inclined otherwise.

Mostly because. "Eeeh, Summoner is taken."
Absolutely do not want Thurmaturge. That and it makes no sense for my characters' background at the moment.
Sounds like we have a Pugilist.
A White mage in the making.

I didn't think of subclasses like Culinarian and what not, mostly because.
"Yeah, I'm just waking up."

So far, a mellow cat that lives in Limsa, and that is the absolute so far.
Absolute worse case, his skinny ass is a Marauder.

ᴀ ғɪɴᴀʟ ғᴀɴᴛᴀsʏ xɪᴠ ʀᴘ

@AmbraWe can maybe chat on discord.

ᴀ ғɪɴᴀʟ ғᴀɴᴛᴀsʏ xɪᴠ ʀᴘ

@AmbraHm, I'll try to give it some thought.

I just know I hate playing BLM, they're not bad, but turret mage isn't exactly what I call fun.

But there are still other jobs to try before I decide to commit. Which is the fun part about preparation.

But Summoner... ;-;
