The Nomad, a sci-fi epic.

Added a few more bits to The Nomad's tab. I'll look at those sheets tomorrow as i'm a bit knackered right now

The Nomad seems like a right freak. Now I definitely understand why Silver Carrot's character freaked out :)
Out of curiosity, do you have a scale in mind for the Nomad's robots?

@Starlance

I haven't even added the worst bits yet
No i don't but they're all pretty big. Howitzer, which in my mind is the biggest, is over 10 times the height of a normal human male.

@Catharyn Yes, those were the ones I was referring to. Howitzer, Bruiser and Thrasher. There's a scene in my character's history that involves a battle between her squad and some of Nomad's robots. If some of them are flight capable it would fit the scene. But I can work around it, of course . It also makes reference to bio-weapons being deployed. I did understand correct that Nomad utilizes them, right?

@ihinka

None of the weapons platforms so far are flight capable but there are airborne units that haven't been described yet. I will attempt to elaborate one for you later.

@Ozymandias@Catharyn Question. Since I started working on my CS now... Are any of Nomad's robots flight capable? Or are they more of a ground troops sort of thing?

@ihinka

Are you referring to the heavy weapons platforms i've put in the OP tab? Those ones are not flight capable but from the swarms of materiel there would undoubtedly be in-atmosphere flight capable craft. I'm trying to fill out more of the Nomad war machine this evening.

@Conscripts What might be better is if you assume the role of the Scythian's second in command, behind a Commander who can be played as an NPC. That way you're freed up to pursue your own interests. Would that be acceptable?

@Conscripts The character is provisionally accepted, but like you said the last paragraph and your relationship to Mahan could be subject to change. Nice CS!

@ihinka We'll see what @ozymandias says but i like this species application. You've toned down all the pointy appendages and focused on the SEEM being a biological spacesuit of sorts. Reminds me of the Quarians of Mass effect. Good job!

I'll be trying to get my CS up later. And I wonder if we can have multiple characters. My two characters that I intend to implement are Nelson Schor, a lieutenant on the Scythian, and Alexander Mahan, an admiral or fleet admiral (I have yet to decide). Nelson is the main character in my IC posts, who I will try to upload his CS soon, while Alexander plays a rather passive role, as he is the one assigning Nelson to the Scythian, and he sometimes make transmissions like giving him specific orders. I'm also reserving Alexander for something larger-scoped. So can I make multiple characters, and if I do can I make a character for such a small role?

@Conscripts

Yeah multiple characters are alright as long as certain conditions are met; namely that you can properly play all of them without overall loss of cohesion. Schor sounds fine as a 1st character, however you will need to PM me what you have planned for Mahan. This is because the dispatch of the Scythian is the doing of Naval Intelligence who are free to commandeer practically any of the Navy's assets that they choose.

Also, i've started a tab for The Nomad on the OP, will finish it tonight.

@TheMadAsshatter Ah right. Yeah there is a fair bit of mish-mashing going on behind the scenes and most of it is intentional I'm going to put down the other two rank structures today, shouldn't take long.

Cool, let me know if you need anything!

Okay . Thought everyone would like a taste of what some of the colony tech looks like, here's one of the multi-purpose tankers which operate on RX:

@ihinka Ok, i'm open to the whole bio/mechanical symbiosis idea. You will need to sell it to me though, drawing on your own original ideas based on the links here. My primary focus is making sure your character fits into the universe and is not overpowered, so as long as those conditions are met there is definitely scope for something like this

I suggest you start the CS with core details and get them signed off before spending hours on appearance etc.

@Silver Carrot i forgot to mention, could you please repost your CS in the Char tab? All character sheets must be in there so when i come to compiling the final roster the process is quick and simple.

@Silver Carrot

Ah i see. In that case, accepted!

@ihinka

Hmm, what do you mean by a bio-mechanoid? Are the characters in those pictures alive or are they mechanical? I'm reluctant to include species which come armour plated as it tends to start a power creep. Could you give me a bit more info on Guyver and the bits you want to keep please?
