Jormungand: No Man's Land

Is it too late to add another player to the game? If not then I'm totally down for this. It seems extremely interesting and I'd love to be a part of it.

@Xeron

Throw your CS in and we'll see. I'm not opposed to expanding this RP to 5-6 players.

Jormungand: No Man's Land

Great! We're all waiting more or less on you then :)

Falling Skies: 7th Mobile Armor Suit Team

Battlecruiser Captain: OMG HAX

Jormungand: No Man's Land

I'm kind of waiting on a fourth member, though if you guys have no qualms about a 3 man RP I suppose we could go ahead and just NPC additional characters as needed

Falling Skies: In our Final Hour

First round of character reviews!

@Reaper

The thing

So much overwatch. Overall, I see nothing glaringly wrong with this character. Personality is well developed, if not reminiscent heavily of the actual Mercy from Overwatch, (with last name directly ripped from Overwatch may I add). I assume the BASTION's shield is sort of like Reinhardt's energy shield, yes? I assume the shield will be relatively small- enough to cover her crouching body over a patient, but not a standing assault trooper. The only thing I'd really request is to change up the name a bit, because even though I know this character is inspired by Mercy, I want to pretend to myself that it is an original character. Perhaps give her a french surname/make her french, so the idea of her always saying "Merci" can be the reason why people call her Mercy

@vietmyke

I haven't actually read Mercy's backstory that carefully. We're all conscripted into the military/civil defense force for two years of service here and medical officers are selected from people who qualified for medical courses in university so...

On the shield: Yes, it's "half-cover" in XCOM terms. You could quite safely crouch/prone behind it, but standing up will expose a lot of you to shoot at. Though I had more of an armor plate in mind in terms of shielding than an actual energy shield. Think of the energy shield as more of there to stop shrapnel from mortar rounds and the like. No point just having an energy shield if a sniper just has to wait for it to drop and take a shot.

Falling Skies: In our Final Hour

I can already tell the medic is going to have a field day with the AI

"IS YOUR ARM BROKEN?"

*Raises metal arm*

"No the other one dammit."

Persona - The True Self

In any case PM me on the kidnapping, and maybe go over your dungeon one last time.

@Sho Minazuki

Will do! ... Sometime in the next 48 hours

Falling Skies: 7th Mobile Armor Suit Team

"Wait, that's-" Maki's protest over the comms was cut short by Trapp's voice confirming what she suspected. The man had managed to commandeer a MAS after all, and seemed to be piloting it with no difficulty. It was a question she could ask later, among other conversations to be had, as she grabbed the spare boosters and thanked Gerard. "I almost made a wager with Odin about how long you guys would take to come pick us up. No presents?"

There wasn't much time to waste on "Are you alright?" and "Did they do anything?". Maki's quips would let the rest know nothing happened that was worth mentioning. Well, perhaps other than the patrolling squadron of MAS... mercenaries? They didn't seem to like trained Coalition pilots, that much was certain. "They have another squadron patrolling nearby. Mercs, I think." She reported to the rest of the 7th. "Do we engage or leave the fighting to another day?" It wasn't as if the Hellcat was in any condition to fight after the paces Maki had put it through, and she had just wasted a missile.

Her systems blared, however, warning her of a hostile weapon firing. She turned the Hellcat around in time to see the plasma beam heading straight for McKnight. Time seemed to slow as she opened her mouth to warn her squadmate but her mind knew it was too late. That was when she saw Trapp's new machine appear as quick as a bolt of a lightning and shouldering the Shrike out of the way, keeping it safe. The Japanese pilot watched as the beam harmlessly dissipated over the shield of the Coalition machine.

"Holy fucking hell! What the fucking fuckity fuck was that?" She asked incredulously, unsure of what ungodly technology kept Trapp from being reduced to a puddle of slag. The Coalition had something like this up their sleeve? How had they not won the war yet? Hopefully whatever intel Alice had gained from the database would answer the question. Speaking of which...

Maki managed a glance at her wingman to ensure the AI wasn't going berserk again. After everything they had been through today, she wasn't sure if she would ever look at the android the same way again. Hell, she wasn't sure she could fly with the AI again. It had been an interesting idea at first, a machine that could think and learn for itself fighting beside her, but now the idea seemed dangerous. Alice's personality and interactions with her had made her forget the metal pilot was a weapon first and foremost. UEE property.

She listened as Trapp handed the reins over to McKnight, shelving the thoughts away. They could wait until they were back aboard the Lincoln and safely recovered.

Looks like I'll be waiting on Hex to post.

Falling Skies: In our Final Hour

Now why you gotta go showing us up with that formatting and fancy CS man. Why you gotta make us look bad
