@MegaOscarPwn I sent mine through PM because ya know secret character.
So should I go next or anyone else for the plane? Cause I don't have stuff for until Maine.
I have a general sorta thing together, but I don't think I'll have Leon doing anything until touchdown in Maine. He'll just follow along unless anyone needs him.
@POOHEAD189 I thought Penny said we just got those little squared off police desks. That's what I was under the impression of, though Leon would totally try and push for an office. Then again he probably would consider the "evidence locker" his office.
@vietmyke To be honest I had mostly balanced the character around the idea that they are far above average in mechanical skill, and literally, have devoted their entire life to robotics and technology. He's given up everything else just to make these robots, which he makes for anarchistic revenge. So literally these drones are a man's life's work. To the character machines and computers are everything. They are all that he does. He probably couldn't even tell how your lungs work or why the sky is blue (though it's probably smog gray here isn't it). He's narrowed down everything into making drones.

As for remote control, I hadn't considered that. Partially due to the fact that I mostly want to play the drone, not the character. If anything the character is fluff background to make the drone work. I'm fully willing to flesh out that background, but that's what the character is they are the background for the drone. If they were any less they'd be a well developed NPC. Otherwise, I simply was working under the notion the drone usually functions under an AI protocol for everyday functions and following orders of the other mavericks. I was debating on if it was purely just a robot or if I'd see if we got in Asimov territory, so I guess I could mention that idea now. Could this be a somewhat learning AI?

As for interference, I'm sure it could be hacked, but it'd probably need to be physically hacked into.

I guess in retrospect drone does imply remote control, usually if it isn't autonomous is added.
@vietmyke


Found the drone design I'm scaling it to about 1'x2'x1.5' WxLxH. Working balance now is a limited ammo razor wire launcher with electric current flowing through it, a hacking tool, and a nanoblade for its main uses and it also can explode in spectacular fashion, but obviously, that's the last thing it does. Otherwise, the main special thing it can do is crawl on walls except for glass.

EDIT: just checking that its at a good level for balance.
I don't think it matters for me either.

EDIT: Only detail I could add is that Leon might do some reading on the plane try and study up more on the cult that has been mentioned so many times. He's more monsters and mysticism not so much covens and cults.
@vietmyke TBH the general idea was either a 1 foot tall robot raptor (Though it looks a bit more like a chicken) with a camera for the head, a little firearm of some sort (like a really pathetic pistol), the ability to crawl on walls, plug into computers, and explode.

Or a spider sorta drone that does basically the same thing, but doesn't have the gun and has this little taser wire it can fire off.
@Crosswire I mean personally I'd be more than willing to write it up and send it to the GM only, and have a public version that shows what all the other players would know, so I really just wanted the GM's thought on this.
@vietmyke So how much detail do I need to put behind a character if what I'm really playing is their robot? I really want the character to be hiding away and only interacts through the drone who is really the character here.
