Gnar The Missing Link

L.A.D. --- Living Alchemic Drive RP

I've gotten in contact with Green Goat and Tatsua, due to the Guild being funky, and they're still on board. I'm unsure of Dead Cruiser, but he does have a reservation slot until the end of Friday. This goes to the same with you, harinezumikouken, only on the account that it's fair for everyone else.

-GM Hat On-

Now... I've been thinking about this decision for a while, and how I would go about it for our 12th member, and as it it, we do in fact have two contenders for the last slot. I hate, and I mean I absolutely hate having to deal with these kind of decisions mostly because no matter how they are said or done, someone is going to have their feelings hurt one way or another no matter what the outcome is.

However, I will say that I did spend a great deal of time, taking into account many factors that do not even include the Character Sheets themselves.

Both Marx's and XLegs' pilots are fine in regards to the setting, so that's something not to worry about; they both bring something necessary to the team in their own ways.

However, when we come to the Frameworks, Marx's Framework doesn't require no editing while I do believe Xlegs' will; especially the Special Ability. While I like how you're factoring in electricity into your Framework and coming up with a unique way as a support, as I am reading your Special Ability I am reading it as more than one... and there are definitely some things that I don't like with it, especially the portals. Remove that entirely and pick a more simpler special ability.

Marx on the other hand is straight forward with his abilities and has them to what we need without any need of further editing; a mobile gunslinger who can help clear out waves of Cruxi.

So, as much as I hate making rough decisions like this, XLegs, I wont be accepting your characters as of this moment.

With this, I have decided on Marx being our 12th player.

HOWEVER, and I would like you both to take special note of this, Xlegs will be our 13th player after some edits have been made.

Honestly, I wasn't too sure since and I decided to go with a third option thanks to some advice.

This is my final decision.

-GM Hat Off-

The RP will be beginning soon with the arrival of the opening post, so get ready.

L.A.D. --- Living Alchemic Drive RP

@Marx: I really like both characters, I really do... however, I'm in a slight bind here with both you and XLegs that I'll explain shortly.

As of this moment, however, I would like to take attendance of all those who are still interested and those who have not dropped out for whatever reasons. I want to make sure I have a complete list of those who are still in this.

After that has been done, I'm going to wait a few minutes and see how things are coming along... because I do believe the RP will be starting today one way or another, and who'll be our 12th member. I'm going to give XLegs until this amount of time to get their stuff sorted and present an application that is on par with the others before I make my decision and start the RP.

Maybe we can say that he was one of the few candidates in a tentative program for developing psionics, which was then cannibalized by the Framework program?

I'm afraid the answer is going to have to be no on this one, Dead, mostly because I can't quite see a human having those powers in this setting.

Question for the GM - I simply want to ask if this bit is overpowered. If not, I can just happily remove it. Thought of it as more of an afterthought~

Additionally, the CAD is capable of other programs uploaded to it to expand its functionality, such as a satellite map of the immediate area, if one is available, motion sensors, etc. Of course these will be gathered through the course of the RP and she won't start out with them. Perhaps they will unlock as her Synchronization rate goes up?~

This is... iffy. I say this because it doesn't suite melee mech, but it does suite ranged and support mechs. So, if you want to have something like this, I suggest having it so that she and her mech have to be stationary for a while to receive data from the Izanagi before being able to have a map of the area. Other than that, I think this new character is pretty great, and if you want to replace your old one, you are free to do so.

CS is ready for inspection.

And it has been inspected!

It looks good and I do like it a lot, however... my one complaint is that it does seem to be a bit melee focused, when we are already melee heavy, even though Rune has switched over:

3 Melee with one point men, one berserker, and one assault.

2 Artillery

1 Sniper

1 Duelist

1 Support

1 Marksman/Gunslinger

If you're willing to change them to one of the other roles beside Melee,Artillery or Duelist (since that is honestly just a fancier word for another meleer but with a gun), then I think it would be okay.

@Hikou no Kokoro: Caster is Accepted!

@Kitsune: Seems good to me; accepted~!

@Masaki Haruna: Yeah, Claire looks a whole lot better now that you fleshed out her background and focused on her ranged capabilities. Accepted!

@Raijin: Reduce Fenrir's Strength to B, since A+ is a bit high to have at all times. Keep Monstrous Strength a Steady A+ however, since Fenrir is indeed a pretty famous beast so that his strength steadily increases as fights drags out, making him a deadly threat. As for his Noble Phantasm, I would adjust the stat rankings a bit, especially the last chain's. Also, there may be a problem if it is impossible to remove... so work on that a bit. Unless I read it wrong? (Eyes are a little tired) Also, I think you should remove "Never Again", mainly because while I like the idea, I just feel like it is kind of pushing it just a bit.

@Grey: A very, very interesting take on Morgana... I like. Do feel free to PM me her other Noble Phantasm before I make any final decisions!

My plan had been to have a pilot that was one of the few remaining survivors of a psionic development academy on some outer-rim world that had been attacked, hand-picked to pilot a psionic Framework. His whole personality kind of built up around his transhuman superiority complex.

Ahhh... I gotcha. Yeah, I would say were it not for the Cruxi stuff like that would have been available a few more decades. But right now, not so much.

I'll look over the CS along with all others later and make final decisions then, mainly because I'm currently swamped with so much stuff. X_X

Thanatos said
I worded the underlined part above in a way, that if I wanted to I could have Zan learn about a family member that is hospitalized. If that was okay with you of course.

Hrm... It's iffy, considering what I have in store... but, let's just say you will see in the first few posts of the RP.

harinezumikouken said
I probably won't be able to post my CS until at least this weekend, just to give you a head's up. Life + work has been keeping me busy and nicely insane.

Alrighty, that is fine. Chances are we might start earlier than this weekend (maybe, depends on how things go), and you can just drop in.

I'm still here too... Dunno 'bout our GM, though.

I'm here, just been having tunnel vision with another RP I'm working on... sorry.

I'll evaluate all the current Sign-ups as best as I can as soon as I can.

Considering we badly need one, I think I'll scrap both Isabel and Kampfen both. Well, at least put them on hold for now and drum up a CS for a new Framework/Pilot.

Alrighty! I'll wait on your new CS then~

DAWNSTAR said
Quick question here: What sort of guns are we looking at? Are we talking plasma guns and the like or actual guns which use bullets?

It can be either actually. Although, both have a sort of hindrance... with plasma overheating, and ballistics requiring ammo.

Dead Cruiser said
Hmm, I had a bit of something going, but the inability to play a psionic pilot has now put a spanner into that. Don't wait up for me.

Are you absolutely sure about that? :/

L.A.D. --- Living Alchemic Drive RP

@Rune: Feel free to do that if you want~! I don't mind at all.

@Raijin: I actually included Nidhogg and its pilot as part of the squad line-up, considering you've been so cooperative, so consider them already accepted. ^_^ Also, yeah, they look a lot better now. They're accepted.

Dead Cruiser said
With a psionic Framework, would a psionic pilot be acceptable? Perhaps able to use the same abilities as his framework on a lesser scale?

I would have to say no to that. I'm sorry Dead Cruiser, but I'd prefer it if just the Framework had the abilities. >_<

Just to let everyone know...

I'm going to wait for Dead Cruiser and harinezumikouken to app their characters, before putting up the OP.

If you are not the two above players, then you better start showing your character sheets to me soon, because we honestly only have one spot remaining. I'm also looking for someone who IS NOT a melee user, considering we have so many as is.

L.A.D. --- Living Alchemic Drive RP

@BB

Both Katyusha and her Framework Potemkin both seem pretty good, and we do tremendously need more long ranged/mortar combatants.

They're approved!

Dead Cruiser said
Regardless of the exact implementation, what would your preferred method of writing this into the game be? Psionics or weird science? Or something else?

Probably psionics via the Framework... although there will probably be other reasons as well that'll you will discover in-game if you do go with this power.

---

Alright, considering we have a LOT of sign-ups as is, and we're reaching a suitable squad size limit where the maximum will be 12 (currently I believe we have a total of 9 filled out), I'm going to give... roughly tomorrow for any last minute sign ups.

I do know, however, that there are priorities for Dead Cruiser and harinezumikouken, considering they have both been very active and it would be extremely unfair to them to not reserve them spots, since I'm sure they're working on characters this very moment.

If you have a character, post it. Even if you are not the 12th person to post their character, still post. I'm saying this because I'll be honest and say that the squad ratio is a bit off balanced from what I've noticed:

4 Melee with two point men, one berserker, and one assault.

2 Artillery

1 Sniper

1 Duelist

1 Support

0 Marksman/Gunslinger

As you can see, there is a pretty big... well offset in things. From the above, I probably wont be accepting anymore Melee characters from this moment henceforth, but who knows. If you do app as one of the other things chances are high. Right now, we are in much need of a person who'll be in the middle area providing support, covering fire, and even taking foes out that the combatants can't; aka the Marksman who is always essential.

Please take this into consideration from this moment forth.

Thank you.

Raijin, I'm really sorry... I'm not trying to be difficult here. :/

I'm just trying to be fair as best as I can so that he can fit in with the others on an even level, and I honestly truly appreciate you putting up with me.

Sorry about the Special Ability, I was writing it up, and didn't notice that you changed it. The new Ability is actually a lot better, but change the "He can also make and carry larger, and more powerful version's of his matrix codes" to a temporary thing.

And, if you want a variety for your primary, then I think that'll be fine- however, remove the gun-based weapons. He shouldn't have any gun-based weapons aside from his Special Ability.

How does that all sound?

Dead Cruiser said
The idea was actually that would sort of be a "trick" fighter that distorted physics to get in its shots. Bullets changing direction completely, making absolute, inertia-ignoring turns to evade, things like that.

Hrmm... Maybe. I think it'll be best if you show the power out fully for me to read out, since it sounds good, but at the same time, it sounds a bit iffy.
