Bio

Hi there I'm Rultaos, or simply Rult as some of my friends call me. I first got into RP'ing on two different sites back when I was in High School. The forums of the games Minecraft and Spiral Knights. Both had game-related RP's, as well as off-topic ones regarding fantasy and sci-fi. This was around 3-4 years ago. I wasn't really good at it back then, but I met a lot of great people and feel like I really improved since then.

For any of you who are curious, this was one of my biggest RP undertakings before I got into this site (My username also comes from this as a tribute to it!). It's not really a very well-written roleplay (or a very well-managed one for that matter). But it really meant a lot to me because of how far it went, how long it survived, and how it inspired my fellow players there. It always fills me with a sense of nostalgia whenever I glance at it in my bookmarks...

I got into RPGuild back when it was still using the old server (the one that got taken down after Mahz got behind on his pay and the providers ended their service without warning). I was pretty bummed when this happened because I was already actively participating in a number of roleplays, and I could only stay in contact with a select few guildmates on the Facebook group. Eventually, the long wait was over, and the site was given renewed life after a few bumps in the road that guildmaster Mahz faced in his attempts to resurrect this place. It was a good day for many including myself when this site slowly started getting more and more features.

2014 was my second year in college and was a very stressful time for me. Mostly concerning academics, with a few occasional problems regarding friends and fellow students alike. Because of this, I had to suddenly drop out of roleplaying for a while in order to have the time to get my real life back in order.

Now, I've returned to the site, and am hoping to get back into the groove of roleplaying and make more great friends and have even greater adventures through whatever huge universe your brilliant minds can think of! If you wanna invite me to play, or even just have a friendly chat about anything, send a message my way and I'll reply as soon as I can =)

For those of you who are wondering, my roleplay interests include: Sci-Fi, Military, sometimes Fantasy, a Fandom one if I'm familiar with the source material, heck I'd be willing to dabble in an Apocalypse setting as well. I'm also willing to try new things as well if it seems fascinating enough. So hit me up with an idea any time and I'd be happy to share my thoughts with you.

Well, I feel like I've used up enough for your time. Thanks for caring enough to read all this, and I hope you enjoy your roleplay adventures as much as I have in the past and the present ^_^

@Jbcool I had Mackielars read your IC response through my laptop while we're in the school campus and she just immediately freaked out (in a good way) and is feeling confused as to how Persy would respond, other than "incoherent sobbing while she cradles her weapon"

@agentmanatee I'm guessing the lack of an interaction response means I should just get to work on Marcus' IC? Haha
If we can't get the interaction out of the way before later today, I can just write up Marcus' IC before the day is done. We can do the post edits later if needed :)
@agentmanatee Sent a PM your way for your character's interaction with my NPC. I hope it's sufficient
@Jbcool I suppose, though we can also edit Ninke's post to have her approach Bertolt. Also @agentmanatee Sorry I took so long to get online, this day was a Hell of a lot busier than I thought. I also think that maybe it would be better if we PM roleplay their interaction just to keep the dialogue and actions more authentic. You can send a PM my way as to how you want to start the interaction and I'll reply as soon as I see it. I'll do Marcus' IC reaction once we finish that up :)

On another note, going to read up on Imperial Guard/Real-life Mechanized Infantry tactics and how the Chimera functions as a vehicle
Ah sure sounds good :). If we're taking Bertie then Hardin and Dace can be seperated and met again later (if they dont die). For the interaction, I can PM you some info about Bertolt later after my morning classes are done. I think he'll make a better driver than most Tallarns because of his experience in Mechanized Infantry tactics as a member of the Flashflooders
Aww, I was hoping Marcus' squaddie Bertolt would get to drive for us. Was even going to name the Chimera "Lucky Lucy" if I had the chance. In any case Ill try to get a post up later today. Is the entirety of Marcus' squad going to be separated from him?
I'm cool with getting separated from my NPC's, any way works just let me know in advance how the division goes down.

Also @Jbcool Marcus has fought Chaos cultists (With a small number of encounters with daemons), along with small Ork tribes within Imperial territory (though Vernum was their first time fighting against a force under the command of a Warboss. They got decimated because of both that, and being misused by Van Deer). He's never fought anything with superior equipment or organization, like Chaos Space Marines, Eldar forces, or Tau Hunter Cadres.

Just as a sidenote in case this is needed, the combat doctrine of the Flashflooders is to harass and overwhelm the enemy; forcing them outside of close quarters and leave them exposed to other long ranged weapons such as artillery and heavy weapons. They're not necessarily meant to neutralize all hostiles in a close quarters environment, instead they flush (or flood) them out through intimidation and overwhelming firepower to throw the enemy out of position. That's how they were misused in the Vernum crusade, because they were expected to clear the trenches and factories out completely.
<Snipped quote by Rultaos>

A blend, really; it'll be standard RP combat for the most part, the only time I'll roll is if you do something extreme or 'heroic', for example Ninke/@agentmanatee lost her leg and arm fighting things like killa kans - bascially you can do what you like, within reason, so no mowing down hordes of nameless enemy infantry or the like.

Does that make sense?


Yeah I got'cha. So I'll only consistently kill things bigger than gretchins if a dozen other men are shooting at said thing as well . And then I'll have to rely on your rolls for times when, let's say, I'm surrounded by a Tyranid swarm and try to fight, duck, and weave my way through it. Am I understanding it right?
@Jbcool How will combat play out in this RP? Standard RP combat? or are do we need to make a decision and then you'll tell us how it plays out? Just so I know how much control I'll have over my character's (and some NPC's) fate once we get into the fray
@Jbcool

Wow, I made plenty of mistakes in my post then. I'm not sure if I'll be able to edit everything tonight, as I'm still finishing up a report and already feeling fairly sleepy. But I will try to get it edited first thing in the morning.

And also. @Bright_Ops @NecroKnightand I guess everybody else as well: It appears our lives will now heavily depend on John deciding not to friendly-fire us into oblivion, considering he's a heavy weapon specialist BEHIND the rest of us. Just when our characters thought he could not get any more problematic
