Apocalyptic Zelda RP : Whispers in the Night -- 2 OPEN SPOTS LEFT

@BaklavaI'm certainly still here. I just finished my final paper for my World Civilization course. The entire next month should be perfectly clear.

I'm just hammering out a backstory. Its a little hard make a backstory for a character who doesn't really have anything interesting happen to them. He's existed and followed his programming this whole time. He's just sort of been there. Any suggestions on what I should try and make sure is covered?

@Dervish@Baklava I mean why not both? He can throw boulders even if they are close.

Also while I'm here going to test colors for readability.

@Dervish Hostility wouldn't be the greatest issue even then. Noi would be plenty tough enough to take one down. The issue I'm seeing is that Noi isn't exactly the fastest thing in the world. Then again perhaps if he could get a hookshot then he could pull things to him. A kind of reversal on how link is pulled along, but since Noi is heavy he pulls things to him.

@Baklava I do believe the ancient flower is only acting as an oil/lubricant, but you can decide whatever you wish for this of course. As well there is one ancient robot that functions without a time shift stone, it is in the temple under the goddess tower.

Well the most basic gist is prototyped ancient robot, in the LD-00 set not the 301 series. Going for a sort of iron giant character

It's name is Noi, a name it gives itself when he misreads No.1 on his blueprints. While future LD-00s would be made light using a skeletal design Noi is very bulky with a thick layer of armor over his frame. This greatly reduces his speed, but does grant him astounding durability. Other features added to future models like a highly detailed face and decorative armor were never created for Noi. His head is essentially a plate helmet welded onto a sensor array.

Noi is equipped with a large hammer intended for both defense of the worker robots and for assisting them with mining.

Noi is not the most complex of characters mentally while somewhat aware like most of the ancient robots he isn't a third as intelligent. He understands hylian and has a basic database of information on the world, but even then his actual intelligence is akin to a child. There is a general sense of morality given to him by the rules he has to obey in his programming.

As for how to fit him in. I think there is plenty of possibility for Noi to be slipped in without any crazy changes. Since the LD-00 robots don't seem to need maintenance he could be off functioning in some sort of long abandoned mine despite all others having broken down something akin to Wall-E. If you want maintenance to be required then I'd suggest Noi runs off something different that was rare then, but is more common now if thats possible, a sort of ironic twist the material was ignored because it would be so hard to get, and yet because it was so hard to get it now is comparatively plentiful.

@BaklavaSo how do you feel about Ancient Robot as a playable race for this?

@Baklava What is your stance on ancient robot as a playable race? Because I have a great ancient robot character. zelda.wikia.com/wiki/Ancient_Robot

@vietmyke Just while prototypes are being talked about i was thinking if we last long enough Izic might have a secret project in the works (not necessarily secret, but you get the point).

I mean he is an engineer the idea that he has a prototype MAS hes worked on with the coalition makes sense right?

I didnt want to start with that kind of thing though.

As for the atlas i guess ill bulk him up and turn him into forward comand in a sense. Walking command post from which Izic can provide support and guidance or aid. I would like one special thing for it though. Drones. Little drones so Izic can see the front line as he wishes.

It lets him have that observe learn destroy skill, but remaim in the back as the support and ill figure out offense soon.

@vietmyke Just gonna break this down into numbers for ease.

1. That's just a failure on my part. I meant for them to have always been engineers not pilots, so I'll make sure that is more clear.

2. I was hoping Izic might be a sort of sympathized deserter. He seems the type to actually rebel and hate the UEE. The Coalition are his kind of people working class down to earth. Alice meanwhile is high military ranking and it is bizarre to be leaving the UEE. Honestly though I can work this story however we need.

3. Izic tried to be a whistleblower first. He went to his commander and told him that the scientists didn't want to continue developing these sorts of weapons. The commander saw it as treason/rebellion, so he got military back up (the security staff was also split by the weapons.) With the fact that his own military came in and wiped out any resistance/possible rebellion. As for telling normal people he didn't think he'd be able to get anything done that way. He didn't have any power or push in that world, especially not against the UEE military.

4. I suppose that is true. I definitely don't want him to be some sort of hot shot ace, but if he needs more skill I can balance that in. I want his strength to be that while he isn't some prodigy his personal experience with MAS lets him do things other pilots can't.

I'm thinking now that I could kind of rework that into him being very quick to understand and analyze MAS, so that he can fight better. He picks up how the pilot is working. He notices specific strengths and weaknesses of individual MAS. He isn't the best pilot, but he can take advantage of other MAS better than others. If he's on the front line he can engage enemy MAS find their weak points develop a diagnostic and give that to the better pilots.

It's very much why his MAS is ALL defense. he's not supposed to be the direct threat.

5. The thought was that he'd use it with the robotic arm, but I can ton that all back. Figured I'd go bigger for the sci-fi nature of the setting. So long as it keeps the blunderbuss feature I'm happy.

6. I wasn't certain if I wanted to go with that or not. Medium had enough weight for all the defense items available, so I went with that. If I can put on more defense with a heavy I'd happily jump up to it. The point of Atlas is to be massive front line MAS. It is a pain to deal with even while it won't deal that much damage. I had the image of Atlases running into missiles and heavy fire to cover allied units. First and foremost it is there to take abuse so everyone else can work better. Something I think fit the engineer idea.

Still WIP, but not sure this is gonna be good enough. Im just not sure if the mech concept works in this universe

Izic Daedlis

Name: Daedlis, Izic
Age: 29
Gender: male
Callsign/Codename: Odysseus
Kills: 14

Psychological Analysis: Fancy talk for 'Personality'. Give me a good paragraph or so describing your character's personality. Rule of thumb: the more detail, the better.

Military Record: Izic Daedlis was a cog in the UEE machine. An engineer and pilot he was largely used for moving of cargo and assisting in the deployment of MAS. His father had done that. His grandfather had done that. It seemed every last member of his family had done that. He was told he was fighting the good fight. That he was stopping anarchists and greedy war pigs, but that never sounded right.

This was a universe where a man didn’t even look the other in the eye when he blew him to hell. Every soldier was wrapped up in a tin suit and sent off to kill their fellow man, and for what? Because the UEE is the best? No. Because the UEE said so.

During what seemed to be a fairly routine maintenance of an airlock Izic’s left arm was crushed. Modern technology gave him a replacement, but it did leave him shaken up for a while. His performance as a pilot declined so he was given lesser missions. Izic himself doesn’t know if it was because of getting used to the arm or if it was because of his continuing dislike of the UEE.

Izic was eventually moved to a UEE military development station. He was security detail for the site. As the months went by he began to hear whispers of dissent. The engineers were unsure of whether or not they could go through with completing the weapons, mostly chemical and biological agents. Izic absolutely wasn’t. Eventually the dissent was common throughout the station. Ignorant as he was, Izic attempted to tell his commanding officer that the UEE needed to stop making these weapons.

Within a week a special forces squad was deployed to the station. They stormed the station and eliminated all opposed to the weapon development. Izic tried to fight back, but his commanding officer subdued him. He sighed and tutted about how he was too late to save the station from Coalition forces. Izic lied there beaten and bloody seeing the full cruelty the UEE was capable of. They’d kill their own people and turn it into a political ploy to find more recruits.

The commanding officer got his comeuppance when the death squad executed him to make sure the truth never got out. Izic managed to appear dead long enough for the squad to leave. The entire station had been wiped out. The whole place had been torn apart to make it look like it had been raided by the enemy. Izic scraped together what he could and took to repairing one of the mobile suits the security forces used.

The UEE would be back soon enough to reclaim the site so Izic set off into the barren wilderness of the planet. He managed to send a rudimentary message to the coalition about the weapons facility. Izic remained on the planet scavenging and scraping by for months until the Coalition was able to mount an attack on the site.

Izic was taken in by the coalition. While hardly the greatest pilot Izic’s shear know how of UEE MAS gave new insight to the coalition. As many rebels as there were from the UEE it wasn’t often that an engineer could give this level of information. While he only piloted basic MAS he had serviced some of the more advanced and powerful ones.

While not as dangerous as other pilot Izic causes havoc on the battlefield breaking up the rigid order of UEE tactics and disabling enemy MAS to support the better pilots in his squadron.

Equipment: W.O.L.F. (Weapon optimizing light flak) helmet: A specialized helmet with two sensor arrays on the top that improve hearing, a protective visor with a basic heads up display and thermal vision, and a respirator built onto the front. It does in general look like a wolf head. It’s painted dark green and black.

Essentials Repair Kit: As an engineer Izic always keeps his most basic and most required tools on him or at least in his mech’s storage space. These are: a force wrench (a wrench and hammer hybrid), a drakon welder (a small self contained welding device that can cut through most common metals), and a UEE army knife (as much as he despises them now it is a good multipurpose tool he can’t deny).

Jakbolt 6G shotgun: A larger gage shotgun that fires both ammunition and in emergencies whatever can be filled into the barrel.

Cybernetic Left Arm: A fairly standard cybernetic prosthetic.

C-Atlas-04M

Appearance:

Designation: C-Atlas-04M

Role: Front Line Mobile cover
Chassis: Medium
Engine: Quad Core Engine 20 Power.

Description: The Atlas is essentially the squire to the more offensive MAS. With light armaments and extremely heavy armor it acts as a strong frontline. It was made to draw fire and create a frontline threat that couldn’t be ignored. The Atlas may not carry many weapons, but because of its armor and shield it can engage in melee combat using only its fists and weight. Atlas will often be dropped from orbit to shell the enemy before activating.

Izic’s Atlas is customized mostly in its control systems. He directly links his robotic arm to gain more precise control.

Systems: 20 : 20 available 20:19 Consumed

Heavy Alloy Plating (7WT): Atlas is surrounded on all sides by heavy armor. It is especially heavy around the shoulders, head, and arms. Intended for defense from enemies as well as allowing Atlas to attack MAS with its own body rather than weapons. While the heavier armor does slow down the mech thanks to its strength Atlass can be dropped from orbit directly into enemy lines.

Alloy Shield (3WT): In its right hand Atlas carries a heavy shield can provide extra forward defense. Atlass use their shields offensively as well as defensively. When on offense the shield is held forward and the MAS will charge throwing itself into the enemy. This also acts as a heat shield upon atmospheric entry.

Shield Class 5: (10WT/15PWR): With Atlas' defense being its offense it is only logical it would carry the heaviest and strongest of energy shields. These let Atlas cause even more chaos among the enemy. Being able to shrug off plasma can leave enemies dumbstruck and force them to split heavy fire power away from other targets.

D-2 Arm lasers (2PWRx2): Both mounted on Atlas' left arm/ These are Atlas' only firepower comes from these laser cannons. They are fairly low power, but are more to deal with minor targets, drawing attention of enemy MAS, and shooting down missiles when possible.

@vietmykeits fine. I think ive found something better anyway.
