I wouldn't plan a post ahead: Things are developing far too quickly for that. Just a note for all the current South-west crew: here is the situation.

This was extremely helpful and I thank you for it.

Legend of Renalta 2: Reborn

Biographical Section

Name: Aslo

Age: 34

Appearance: Props to Cristi-B

Race: Human

Sex: Male

Homeland: Freeholds

History:

Years ago in Southblood, a slave auction was held. In line to be sold was a wonderful young woman very recently acquired. In attendance was her former husband bidding for her freedom against another. The Fates spat in the man's face and a riot broke out caused by some force unknown to the man. His competitor fled the scene, but too much time was lost and as the building came crashing down the wife lay dead. It was that day that Aslo as men amd women know him was born. After suffering through the grief of his lover's death Aslo vowed revenge on those responsible.

He started with the highborn who had been bidding against him. After that had been taken care of he found himself picking at rumors, and with little to no coin. He found people were very willing to pay people to have others disappear, and from there things evolved naturally. Aslo picked up more and more work as an assassin that he regrettably forgot about revenge. Until recently of course. Rumors had once again been circulating concerning the events of that particular slave auction, and those rumors eventually led him to Renalta.

Motivation:

Have his revenge enacted on those responsible for the death of his wife. He joined the blades to make use of their considerable resources to discover the identities of whoever instigated that riot. He also agrees with a great many of the ideals held by the Queen herself, and he would like to be a part of the solution to the problem the world is facing.

Traits & Equipment

General Traits

--Acrobatic: (Rank II)
>>--Free Runner: Rolling, ducking, jumping, sliding, sweeping, edging--all of these things and more are things you are seasoned at doing. Having obtained peak conditioning, anything beyond this is unnatural... (The environment can no longer be factored negatively against your character--fighting atop a steep slope is the same as fighting on a flat grassy plane, save any advantages. Atop this, your character's acrobatic abilities are at their natural peak: There are few places you cannot reach.)

--Rapid Blows

--Endurance Training

--Charger

-- Counter Strike: You've found that dueling is more effective when you use your dexterity to attack something after it has attempted to hit you. (Minor bonus to hit chance and armour penetration, if countering an attack with another attack.)

-- Lucky: You took a guess, and it turned out correct... (Minor bonus to random actions, especially if they take luck.)

Unique Traits

-- Eyes and Ears: In Southblood Aslo was a man who always seemed to know who people were and what they were doing. He has keen ears and an extensive network of friends with loose lips, this allows him to be well informed on news that others may not have heard.

-- Bad men don't deserve happy endings: (Rank II) Through extensive use and practice, Also has taught himself, and learned from others, the properties and functions of a wide variety of natural poisons. He can recognize their effects through investigation and has built enough tolerance to endure small doses of most.
>>Aslo now has a better understanding of potion doses when considering the size of the target and an idea of incredibly lethal combinations of potions. Gains the ability to carry another potion with him. A powerful solvent that can cause temporary headaches and blurred vision.

-- Lost in the shadows: Aslo is deceptively difficult to track in a crowd or even through shadows. Whether it's a makeshift disguise he dawns on the fly, or a literal disappearing act learned from an illusionist is unclear, however the fact remains that unless Also wants you to follow him, you won't.

Equipment List

-- Falcon named Kira, used as a messenger, forward scout, and is capable of catching small prey

-- Sleep tonic, may sometimes lace his weapons with this

-- Smoke grenade type device filled with, among other things, nitroglycerin which when inhaled will cause substantial headaches and blurred vision

-- 2 Simple knives, one for the throwing and the other for cutting

-- Modestly decorated one handed sword

So it would seem I have to once again be the first to fornicate in yet another Renalta revamping. Oh such joy I feel. Consider my spot reserved if there's still a spot on the back of the bus for me.

Edited.

The Last Bastion: Bunker Chicago

Name: Liam Grillod

Age: 23

Sex: Male

Appearance:

Liam looks to be made of 10 ply toilet paper, which is to say, soft. Though he stands at a regular height of 5'9" when caught at the wrong angle it would be easy to mistake him for someone nearly half his age. His delicate looking green eyes and round youthful face receive no mercy from other soldiers concerning his orientation and his true gender. Hilarious though they may be, Liam maintains a rather emotionless expression as the day goes on, he is very soft spoken and while not shy does not feel comfortable speaking around most people.

As a result of the constant mockery and in hopes of better protection Liam feels compelled to cover a large portion of his face while on active duty. He feels It helps to promote a more intimidating figure. As such he is commonly seen wearing a shemagh covering most of his mouth and chin, a pair of sunglasses and a fatigue cap to keep his unorthodox sandy brown hair under control. Otherwise seen wearing his normal combat armor when on mission, or fatigues when at rest.

History Type:

Bunker Boy: Your character grew up in the Chicago Bunker their whole lives. This will be one of their only times leaving the Bunker, perhaps even their first time. Your character typically finds it easier to cause others from Bunker Colonies and their supporters to listen and follow, and is often seen as being fairly trustworthy by most measurable standards. They’re also typically up to date on the latest and greatest in technology.

(Bonuses to diplomacy when conversing with other members of Bunker colonies or Council servants, bonuses to using advanced or foreign technology.)

Biography:

As his history suggests Liam was born inside of Bunker Chicago, and has thusly led a particularly sheltered life. Made more so by the fact that his family was one of some standing in the community with their hands picking in several different pies at once. Yes, the family importing business was lucrative enough to put some folk well on their way to joining the council, feed the impoverished and unstable, not to mention pay for some rivals to close shop. All said the protected child grew up believing he'd one day seize control of the family business.

Though what kind of story would that make were that the case? No in this story the golden age that was Liam's childhood fell apart. It began, as all scandals do, with the media discovering Liam's father with his hand in the wrong kind of pie in a run down nursing home. From there public ridicule and domestic dispute took it's course climaxing in the division of their once powerful business. The division was all that upcomers needed to consolidate their assets and hostile corporate takeover wasn't far from there. Leaving the Grillod family with nothing stable to float on. And so it came to be that Liam was penniless and broke, with very few marketable skills.

So what's a guy to do but join the army?

Fingers crossed and hoping for the best, Liam took a dive. Reasoning that the risk he took by enlisting was at least no more than risking his life out in the streets. As luck would have it the military agreed with his assessment of not having many marketable skills. There were no mutations of his DNA and he was barely fit to drive a bicycle let alone a MECH so he was classified as a Grunt and told he'd have the lifespan of a snowball in a nuclear reactor. He hoped it was a joke.

Technical Information

Career Path: Grunt

Assault Rifle

Modifications:

--Mod 1: Electrified Bayonet

--Mod 2: Taser Attachment

--Mod 3: LAS-Mod

--Mod 4: Breezy Cartridges: Thanks to what essentially boils down as having bored holes into strategic points of his rifle, and the addition of a coolant system having been installed, Liam's rifle now faces fewer instances of over heating. Allowing him to fire for longer periods of time, and enables a quicker rate of fire as well.

Advanced Training

--AT 1: A Soldier's Wrath
-----Rampage (Rank 2): When an ally is hit, this character now gains an accuracy bonus against the opposing target both for his reaction shot and for the next post. If an ally (named NPC or PC) is incapacitated, badly injured, or slain outright, this character enters into a battle fervour that renders them immune to panic and greatly increases resistance against psychic assaults until the target which harmed their friend retreats from the field of battle or is slain.

--AT 2: True Grit

--AT 3: Manifest Destiny: Humanity has a knack for survival, for a variety of reasons. The first is their versatility: These Grunts have trained hard enough that they can wield any weapon masterfully and without penalty. The second is their numbers: These Grunts can radio in for artillery strikes or aerial support and generally can get at least one per mission. The third is their stubborn ingenuity: These Grunts have access to top of the line technology like Pilots to amplify their abilities, and have access to the same laboratories.

--AT 4: Adrenaline Junkie

Achievements:
--Savior: Liam goes out with ten soldiers. He comes home with ten soldiers. There are no exceptions in his mind. (Increased odds of success in actions if doing so to save an ally's life.)
--Watchman: Liam has spent most of his time not on the front line, but looking for enemies that might hope to attack the front line. (Greater chance of spotting ambushers.)

Inventory:

Weapons

Combat Knife: The standard army combat knife. A design over a century old still more than effective enough to carry on into the future.

Standard Issue Council Pistol: Your standard issue, eighteen shot clip pistol provided to nearly everyone in the bunkers and on most homesteads, to both civilians and armed personnel alike. This is based off of the glock-18 model, with some near-future modifications.

Armour

Civilian Clothing: You wear a set of civilian clothing. This has no armour value and is thus pretty good to sneak around in, but, then again, if anything so much as breathes on you, you're a dead man.

Medium Armor: Upgraded armor granted to those without mutation or mechanizations to prevent death for as long as possible.

Motion Sensor: With access to the labratories Liam decided he wanted to know all he could about any enemies trying to worm their way about on the battlefield, and so took a motion detector to help towards that goal.

Medicine & Tech

Medkit: Your standard medkit, including bandages, stitches, rubbing alcohol, and more.

Radio: A simple radio for contacting others.

Frag Grenade: A small hand held explosive. Pull the pin and throw it into a small room for maximum effect, as it isn’t all that effective in a large area with several pieces of cover... Each character starts with two frag grenades.

Flashbang: A non-lethal version of the Frag Grenade, this weapon’s purpose is to cause a bright flash of light and a loud bang, blinding and deafening opponents. Each character starts with two flashbangs.

Miscellaneous

Anything that is just excess fluff in most situations, like dog-tags, or a watch.

Dog-Tags: A way to identify your horrible mangled corpse. Congratulations! At least you won't die forgotten mister... Uh... What was your name again?

Standard Watch: Your standard wrist watch, likely powered by gears and springs as in old clockwork, only compartmentalized to fit on the wrist.

Flash-Light: Useful in dark places. Often mounted on a shoulder or duct-taped to a weapon.

Signature: Icarus.

Also there was some mention of Vlad having camo, but I've never seen it. So who knows for sure.
