Joshua Ray, Joe Verona

CORRIDOR, NEW ANCHORAGE

---

---

Joshua Ray was wandering the halls, steering himself vaguely towards the gymnasium but deciding to just enjoy the view walking there, metaphorically. The air inside was a bit still and too recycled in his opinion, and noting this he wondered if Graham was a Burrower. He was pretty sure Burrows were like that. He probably controlled the 'environment' inside the base, being the overall Commander.

Nonetheless, his temporarily aimless floating about resulted in him seeing another Plugger just like himself. He then went up behind this Plugger, quietly, then made sure he was seen and heard with a simple, "Hello.". He walked with this one for a few moments, before deciding to stop and have a conversation. "Can we talk?"

Joe Verona, who was heading to the administrative area of the base at the moment, responded to the "Hello." with a surprised "Y-Yes? How can I—", before he was interrupted by the same person.

"I don't see why we couldn't talk, at least until our paths split again."

Joshua attempted to break the ice. "I agree. I'm Joshua, you?"

"Verona, Joe Verona. Nice to meet you."

Joshua continued the conversation of few-words with his own name. "Ray, Joshua Ray. Nice to meet you too, Verona. So, what NC do you pilot? I pilot the Apollo Heavy, big red one?"

"I think I recall seeing that one in the hangar. I myself pilot the Swarm, Unit 01. You have probably seen it already on your way through the hangar."

Nodding, Joshua said, then asked, "You're correct. Haven't you been trying to get a little unique system installed on it properly? Mind enlightening me?"

A bit flattered by Joshua's interest, and with a bit of pride about his idea, Joe answered: "In fact I have been and still am. Considering your interest, you have probably noticed how most of it is just speakers."

"Yep, from my knowledge that's a giveaway that you're trying to make some sort of sonic weapon. I presume you're attempting to create a.. I forgot the name, but the type of weapon that uses soundwaves to damage the target? With that I presume you're not one to let things go to waste!" Just like Joe, Joshua seemed a tad excited about the concept. He addended his previous statement with a, "I'm not sure if those even exist, in mass-production anyway."

"Indeed. It is basically an upscaled LRAD, so it has more volume over a larger distance, however it won't just use sheer volume to blow out the enemy's eardrums."

Playfully 'dissapointed' and with a smirk, "So it won't be able to drop the bass?", Joshua questioned.

With a chuckle Joe corrected "It could, but it wouldn't be of use, unless the enemy is allergic to bass."

Joshua chuckled along. He was just happy he found a new acquaintance. He nodded to let Joe know to continue speaking.

"In any case, it's main use should be causing destructive resonance in an enemy's NC's frame or skeleton, whichever you call it. The best analogy I'd have would be me somehow breaking all your bones without harming any soft tissue in the slightest." He added rather silently: "Damage from subsequent collapse of the body not included."

Joshua smirked and snarked "I definitely needed the mental image of somebody collapsing as his bones cracked because somebody dropped all the bass at once. No nightmares from me, no sirree.". He tried to finalize this part of the conversation with a, "Nonetheless, really sounds like a very useful weapon. Should work wonders against enemy NC's, mostly because then we'll be able to just scoop up the parts. That'll be humorous."

"It would definetly be. One of its advantages is, that it can't be dodged, unless the enemy is miles away, although it will take time to deal enough damage. The other main advantage is as you stated, although it also leaves any enemy's dead hand switches intact."

"Yeah, that'd be sort of horrifying. Should remind the salvaging team or what-have-you to wear a bombsuit.". The two were outside where Joe was headed, the entrance to the administrative area, and Joshua simply nodded as he left Joe to do that.

Two gunshots rang out, presumably from the shooting range. Joshua continued his wanderings, and changed his destination to the firing range, to see who was shooting what.

NCQ — Season I: Favors for Favors

I'd like to get in on any action tbh lmao

U N I V E R S A L ™

I'm going to leave as well.

Fact is, I like the thought of a sandbox but I don't think you can just give us one villain and say 'you guys got this'. Personally, at the very beginning sandboxes should be a bit 'railroaded' so that everyone can ease into it and get an idea of how it'll work. You wouldn't hire a guy as a butler and just say 'do your thing', you gotta give him some ideas of how you want him to clean your house.

In essence, I respectfully leave due to my disagreement with how you're currently running this.

Anything is family sized if you're an orphan.

A Knight's Story

Kosei's updated CS:

The Bumbling Samurai

Name: Kosei

Age: 28

Appearance: Kosei is your fairly average young eastern nobleman, with a pleasant face befitting of one and possessing lean muscle built to actually function instead of showing off. A tad thick due to this, he still stands a bit short in relation to most natives of the area, but not notably so at a first glance. He commonly wears his old training armor, a combination of leather protecting the majority of his body and steal guarding his face and chest. Underneath, he wears a simple set of work clothes, although uniquely made of a strong silk.

Kosei's Kendo Armor

Class/Type of swordsman: Kosei is a samurai first and foremost, and focuses on curved swords and parrying daggers. A samurai who focuses on killing other samurai, effectively. Nonetheless, he's still quite good with all types of bladed weapons, but not as good as with an eastern equivalent.

Personality: Kosei is a quiet, determined, and simple young man who is primarily motivated by finding out who killed off the remnants of his family and the lust for power and individuality common to all men of youth. In addition to his main motivation, he does long to find other men of his caliber to earn the companionship of, being quite lonesome for the past few months and wanting, at least, somebody to talk to who'd understand his predicament and perhaps assist. Of course, he's the type to assist his brothers-in-arms, just like he hopes that they'd help him.

In essence, Kosei is just a regular samurai who wishes to find friends and figure out his problems of revenge and just who he is.

Bio: Kosei's backstory is shrouded and unclear, but it is known he's the sole remaining member of some relatively minor dynasty. Indeed, he was the only heir of their land and resources, which he apparently sold off and traded to receive equipment and training he could use to be a wandering swordsman, or 'Ronin'. Nonetheless, he does have quite a surprising amount of funds stocked back in his home country for emergencies, being looked after by his few remaining, but fiercely loyal servants, in addition to a pleasant, but not grandiose retreat.

Embarrassingly, when he arrived to this realm he simply lost his sword, and is utterly certain somebody is in possession of it. His sword, an ancestral heirloom, was the one he trained with and is most attuned to. He now seeks it out, in addition to everything else.

Weapons/Catalysts: Kosei wears his old set of training armor, made with a combination of thin pieces of steel and leather. Its relative low weight meshes well with his 'quick, aggressive' style of fighting. For weapons, he usually uses two; a claymore he manages to one-hand with his right, and a Sai he uses in his left hand.

Anything Noteworthy: He'd never admit it, but due to his superstitions he wears a special ring, called a 'Misfortunate Fox's Ring', that is said to protect its wielder from fatal wounds or setbacks, yet causes them to fall into minor misfortunes more often in the first place.

A Knight's Story

Well, I remember Big Boss over here saying that his idea was a tournament everyone went to for whatever reasons, which I agree with.

Mostly because it fits with Kosei lmao

NCQ — Season I: Favors for Favors

Forgot to mention you @NuttsnBolts lmao

Nonetheless, yeah, as my previous post implies I'd be open for Joshua and Tahlia deciding to meet each other. Loners gotta stick together after all.

NCQ — Season I: Favors for Favors

"She's rather lonely at the moment"

JOSHUA AND TAHLIA

CAN BE LONELY

TOGETHER

A Knight's Story

So, it'll be a sort of 'sandbox' thing? Please, another sandbox I'm in is going to shit because the GM doesn't want to step in and provide nice, pre-planned setups for everybody. I'm oaky with being thrown to the wolves but at the start of any RP I think it's a necessary evil to be railroaded a bit so that everyone has an idea of what the hell they're doing.

Nonetheless, interested, and making a CS. Of course, please give me a proper one I can re-make it for (In?).

Kosei, the Bumbling Ronin

Appearance:

Kosei's Kendo Armor

Kosei is fairly standard for an athletically inclined easterner in his later twenties, with a face befitting his mildly noble origins, and muscles more suited for actual work instead of showing off. He stands just a bit shorter then most natives to the land, but isn't amusingly so. At least, to himself.

History: Kosei's backstory is shrouded and unclear, but it is known he's the sole remaining member of some relatively minor dynasty. Indeed, he was the only heir of their land and resources, which he apparently sold off and traded to receive equipment and training he could use to be a wandering swordsman, or 'Ronin'. Nonetheless, he does have quite a surprising amount of funds stocked back in his home country for emergencies, being looked after by his few remaining, but fiercely loyal servants, in addition to a pleasant, but not grandiose retreat.

Kosei came to these lands by boat and now seeks to enter a tournament, to hone his own skills and, if possible, meet 'contacts' that he can find work and things to do through.

Skills: Kosei is, in all honesty, a quick and ruthless monster in close combat, being surprisingly quick with either of his two implements. Of course, his main sword, a native claymore, is quite different than the Katanas and Nodachis he originally trained with, so he's still getting used to using its greater weight. Aside from his surprising aptitude for using all types of swords (but eastern swords even better), he's quite proficient with the small, defensive class of weapons called 'Parrying Daggers'.

Equipment: Kosei wears his old set of training armor, made with a combination of thin pieces of metal and leather. Its relative low weight meshes well with his 'quick, aggressive' style of fighting. For weapons, he usually uses two; a claymore he manages to one-hand with his right, and a Sai he uses in his left hand. Finally, he'd never admit it, but due to his superstitions he wears a special ring, called a 'Misfortunate Fox's Ring', that is said to protect its wielder from fatal wounds or setbacks, yet causes them to fall into minor misfortunes more often in the first place.

Personality: Kosei is a private, determined fellow who tends to make few allies, but the ones that do put up with him (and he deals with in turn) are usually loyal to a fault, and he would gladly raise his sword for in turn. He feels guilt for the mysterious circumstances his entire dynasty has been lost, yet knows he'll likely never get to the bottom of it by himself. He is always seeking more power and worthy foes, and his greatest dreams include fame as a warrior, finding who killed his family, and finding anybody in this land that he can call a 'True Companion', who would preferably help him with his own problems. Of course, the opposite would be fine too.

Simple, but I hope the basic character idea is fine.
