Not literally magic, I understand that it wouldn't work in a soft sci-fi setting like this, but something that could work analogously to it. Say, "quantum physics" or "relativity manipulation" or psychic powers. I only ask because the mecha I plan on working in distorts spacetime as its special ability, and I'm trying to explain such a power.


Being able to say 'lift' and 'fling' things or even 'curve' laser beams and bullets would be a thing as a power, but distorts in spacetime would not be possible at all. If you were to fire your own bullets, you could mentally enhance them while in Powered mode for example and take down multiple targets with a single bullet if you were a marksmen/psychic, while if you were a fighter you'd only be able to evade better as a combatant/psychic.
@Raijin:

Alright Raijin... There are still problems here unfortunately. The Pilot is perfectly fine, but the Framework, I believe, may need to be overhauled.

Primary Weapon-Type:Nano Omni-Matrix: A circular holographic matrixthat forms design frames for Nidhogg's Elite nano-bots, which are able to create more powerful weaponry than the O.I. nanos. It can form into any offensive weapon that it has the code for. At the moment, this include Greatsword, Assault Rifle, Dual Longswords, Concussive Wave Rifle, and Dual-sided Energy Blade.


I don't like this. It fulfills two roles; melee and ranged supremacy, and even though it can switch between them all, the weapon-grade would be on a level on a mass production level rather than on the experimental level like the others since the Nanobots are doing so much work. If you want, pick only one weapon, and one weapon only.

Secondary Weapon Type: Battle Scanner: This device allows him to assess any situation as well as the weak points in any known enemy types. It can carry a contsant feed to the Izanagi during stealth Op's, as well as transmitting data on an unknown enemy for real time analysis. Can also tell him what kind of weaponry the enemy has if it's registered in the database.


After a lot of thinking, I've decided that something like this shouldn't really be on a Pointman, as it belongs more so as a Special Power, or on a Sniper or someone from the back lines. I'm also making a special note of this because you would be stealing the thunder of someone else's role.

Raijinslayer said
Special Ability:Ragnarok: Nidhogg overloads the Omni matrix in order to temporarily deconstruct itself into a swarm of nano's, except for the cockpit which is shielded from enemy fire. The swarm assumes the shape of a serpantine dragon-like creature, which then sets upon the enemy. Immune to small arms, it can charge through a frontline and wteck havoc, growing bigger and more powerful with every enemy that it deconstructs. It can also form itself into a more humanoid shape, which seems to almost warp between enemy's, as it cuts through them at high speeds.


This is... very problematic. While I do like the idea of nanobots, I myself can seem many problems arising with it in the RP when certain fights do break out. Comparing that special ability to the others we have, it's VERY overwhelming, and it wouldn't make sense in-story for just one Framework to have such a power. I honestly think it would need to be changed to something else.

Edit: Oh, and also, there's a limit to only one Sign-up per Player.
@Green:

Pilot is good, although I would like you to remove the " and put in a mech with no real explanation other than "go there kill cruxi lol"." bit.

The Siegfried seems pretty good, and as long as the special ability doesn't make anything advanced, then it should be fine.

Accepted!
@Thanatos:

I really, really like Zan, to be honest.

My only concern is this!

Thanatos said
•Hospitalized Special One: None of his immediate family, if any of his family is hospitalized it is unknown to him. (Meaning his Mom, Dad, Siblings, and Grandparents.)


Are you sure about keeping it like this? I am more than fine with you having it like this, but I want you to be sure you want it like this, based on your backstory. If you are, then it's fine.

As for ... -tries to say the name- ... the Framework, again, you are more than able to have some extra stuff for it. If not, they're both Accepted as they are!

Alright, question for my potential application: what is your stance on "magic" be in this setting? The source I'm drawing inspiration from uses it as the primary source of power for mechas and characters, and I'd like to port it over in such a way that would fit into this setting. I was considering writing in some really hand-wavy "quantum" mumbo-jumbo, but what do you think about it beforehand?


I am really, really sorry, but I doubt there will be any magic in this setting. >_< I thought about it at first, but it didn't seem right with what I wanted in the end... I'm really sorry Dead Cruiser...

Another question, how much of this is based on real world science and physics? Or are we taking creative liberties with the rules? xD


Sorry for the lateness with the reply X_X The Guild being crazy is making responding to things much more difficult than it should be...

Anyway, we're mostly taking creative liberties with rules ^_^ This RP is mostly for fun, not a retake of science class.
@Raijinslayer: Alright, there are some problems here.

All Cruxi technology (besides simple side guns of theirs) that is or can be recovered is immediately handed over to the military in order for R&D, Drake getting a hold of any is highly unlikely. Also,

Rework Nidhogg's primary weapon, because the Cruxi are so advanced in technology that they are nearly impossible to hack due to them mostly being synthetics. Remember, I stated this in the Interest Check OP that they have technology that is so advanced than ours, but we greatly outnumber them... however we are still losing.

Also, while I like the idea of Nano-bots, the way you have it has it that he's trying to fulfill multiple roles, and while that does make him effective, his overall power would be fairly low considering his nanobots wouldn't be tailored to a singular role; they'd have to be programmed to multiple roles. If you could, I'd honestly consider a singular role in order to bring out the full potential of his mech while also reworking his Special Ability to do so.
@Tatsua Aiisen: Both her and Artemis are accepted!
@Art of Fun: Both Demeter and Anu are accepted!

@Rune_Alchemist: Both Rune_Alchemist and Kampfen are accepted

@XLegs: Looking good so far; both of them. Once they're completed let me know and I'll look over them again to give my answer.
@Raijinslayer: Of course you can join!

As for the energy sword, they may be a tad different than what you are expecting, but there are energy-based weapons. They can also be equipped onto your Framework.
Ah, either way can work actually. It's entirely up to you.
@Asmodeus: Please refrain from arguing about whether or not this is a RP relating to Big O in here, and insulting things won't make you many friends here. Keep the drama and arguing to a minimal, thank you.

But then how do we justify this dumpy, piece-of-garbage looking machine with no modularity being part of the same line as these far more advanced-looking, cleaner machines that do things other than charge forward and punch crap with stumpy spiked armorarms. Also what plot reason can there be to deny such a basic, endemic mecha trope such as "older machine that can still hang". Technically even Eva did this with Unit 00 and Big O has, potentially, the Archetype and the actual main unit itself is arguably the least advanced Big featured in the series.


If you have such a lack of respect for your own character and creations, and to disrespect what I have in store for this RP, then I think it is clear that you wont get along well with others. You tended to do that a lot in the interest thread when you were questioning my decisions and what I had in store, even if it wasn't intentional, but it was crossing a certain threshold many times.

Also, I would like to mention that I did overlook something in your Character Sheet.

Reggie does not care. He doesn’t care about people, the fate of mankind in general or this particular situations that he finds himself in. Always quick to fire back with an uncalled for comment and never capable of withholding his opinions, he’s seemingly almost perpetually angry even when there’s no outward signs of it and relishes engaging in brawls with whoever pisses him off.


Yeah... that's something that might be a bit dangerous... considering I did mention this:

Not a whole lot really. Only that the man reading the files is wanting to get as many as he can, also seeing who may be the best for humanity.If you're a bad pilot, but your teamwork and your Frame are both good you still have a chance of getting accepted. If you're good and your Frame is good, but your personality is way off, there's a chance you may not get accepted still. There are MANY things to take into consideration while making these characters, so be wary while making them. Remember, Earth is at stake, and if your character is putting a risk at that, Lorenzo may pass you off. Try to consider this as a literal job application.


So, unfortunately, I can't accept your character the way they are. Also, considering you suddenly rudely answered me when I just simply asked you nicely to remove a single line or two and ignored that kind gesture of mine, I would ask you to kindly leave the RP before this escalates any further. Please do not respond any further, or I will grab a Mod and tell them that you've been both rude and harassing me for a bit.
