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 ^_^

@Crumbs For the introductions, I'd be fine eitherway. I'll just go with whatever the majority decision is. If left to introduce for himself though, Gaius will most likely be short and polite. Because from his point of view he's there to finish a job not to make friends.
@Crossfire is my CS approved too? I made a few changes and I thought that would need to be looked over first
@PlatinumSkink Personally I suggest having the character's backstory prepared, but kept to yourself. Because a character's history is a large reason for their personality and motivations. It would be a good way of keeping your character's actions consistent with the way they've dealt with their experiences and whatever their current agenda is (other than not getting killed by the Alliance, since I'm guessing they were brought along on this crew against their will because of their criminal record )
I mainly copied my old CS (since the framework is the same as before anyway). I just changed the reference image for his rifle, made him a bit older, and some of the weapon characteristics that may be worth looking over first. Also, should I include a personality segment or will that just be revealed later? Because Metronome included a personality part in their CS. On another note, please let me know if my guy is too overpowered for the setting you have in mind for the roleplay. In the previous roleplay of this, the other characters were jacked up to some high levels of power so I scaled my character to be on somewhat equal level, but if that's too strong for this setting then just notify me and I'll make the changes as soon as I can.




Name: Benjamin Quincy/”Benny Boomer”
Age/Race/Gender: 28 – Human (Scottish) - Male
Appearance: A young Caucasian male with short messy black hair (often made blacker with soot and explosive residue). Has wide blue eyes and rough skin that’s often gets riddled with bruises, burns, and explosive powder (whenever he decides a bath isn’t important). Face is mostly clean shaven but with the shadow of a beard starting to grow on it
Occupation: Mercenary (Demolitions expert, Professional heister, Ship raider) and Freelance hacker

Weapons:

- RWC-BR7 Modular Battle Rifle (“The Boomstick”): A versatile weapon designed by the Rovik Weapons Corporation. It is a fully-automatic ballistic rifle with multiple firing modes (semi-auto, 3-shot burst, and full-auto) and a 30 round magazine. It can utilize both a reflex sight and adjustable scope as used by most common firearms. The BR7 was made for use in mid-range fire support. It is usually carried by designated marksmen in conventional Special Forces units. The barrel of the gun can carry a single interchangeable attachment for the fulfillment of different purposes

- Grenade launcher RWC-BR7 attachment: Can fire a variety of different grenades meant for use in many other grenade launcher models. Can hold up to 2 grenades at a time before being reloaded.

- Compact Shotgun RWC-BR7 attachment: Fires shotgun pellets in a spread with enough force to send most unarmored targets staggering backwards and fires independently of the main rifle. Used for close-quarter engagements.

- Laser-cutter RWC-BR7 attachment: Generally used for slicing through hardened surfaces, it can also be used as an emergency weapon against shielded targets, though it is prone to overheating from sustained fire.

- L32-PDD arm-mounted laser pistol: A small personal defense device worn on the arm like a gauntlet by Las-32 Enterprises that functions much like a standard automatic laser pistol (firing small bursts of laser energy) though it overheats faster than most laser-based weapons due to its small size. The trigger is located on the arm, behind the gun itself and is pressed downwards to fire. It can fire 10 shots in full automatic before needing a cool down. The rechargeable magazine installed into the weapon can fire a 100 shots before being completely drained and requiring a long recharge time from power stations. In emergency situations, the battery can be solar-charged, but it takes 10 minutes of exposure to charge a single shot.

- A bionic arm (See Items)
- Removable scope with adjustable zoom (4x minimum - 12x maximum)
- Fragmentation grenades
- Tear Gas grenades
- Sleeping Gas grenades
- EMP grenades (for disabling systems, weapons, and shields)
- Incendiary grenades
- Cluster grenades (breaks apart into smaller less potent frag grenades, poor at breaking through armor but lethal to soft targets)
- Frag and Incendiary Tripmines (sticks to surfaces and detonates when internal sensors detect movement)
- Remote Explosive charges
- Acid Bomb (device meant for melting through hardened surfaces but can double as a bioweapon)

Obviously he doesn't carry all these explosives at the same time, but he chooses the ones he believe might be necessary for his job.

Armor: (Armored)

Produced by Bulwark Defensive Technologies, it is a sealed environmental helmet complete with a heads-up display and vision modes that include Night vision and Thermal Imaging. Designed for use in hazardous environments by both soldiers and civilian militia


Sealable suit made by Bulwark Defensive Technologies as an engineer/technician suit that doubles as civilian ballistic body armor for use in violent or lawless zones. Contains various pockets and compartments for carrying gear, as well as magnetized sections for attaching large objects such as rifles.

Items:
- Bionic Arm (“Ol’ Skelly”): Used as a powerful throwing arm for grenades, a general melee combat weapon. It also contains the “Skeleton Key” software designed by Benny that allows him to interface with almost any known computer device or electronic system to manually hack into their functions using a holographic display projected by a device just underneath the arm’s surface.
- Box of spare parts: A small box containing bits and pieces of scrap either collected from the field or salvaged from failed devices and/or experiments. Kept around in case he needs to jury rig something on the fly
- Jade turtle keychain: Carried out of sentiment

Skills: Knowledge in almost every form of explosive device and software system in Alliance space, and then some.
- Is aware of the various utilizations and blast radii of any explosive
- Can hack into nearly any electronic system known to man (Time and level of success varies depending on security measures)
- Has moderate skills in repairing and maintaining weaponry
- Can create improvised explosives with scrap as long as he has the right parts.
- High IQ and the ability to quickly analyze and multitask because of his ADHD
- Due to his ADHD, his brain pumps out an abnormally large amount of adrenaline which increases his pain tolerance to high levels.

Powers: Was considered to be screened for Psionic potential but left the educational system before tests could be taken. Has not exhibited further signs so far.
Other: Behavior is incredibly unpredictable and borderline insane, but should not be mistaken for incompetence if his criminal record is anything to go by.
@Crumbs Professional relationship? I thought we we're all friends here who just wanna write together . Anyway I dont mind the delay. Real life always comes first no matter what.

ALso I dont think I believe you when you say that you were being a "whiny bitch-girl". Speaking from experience, if something drives you to that level of emotional strain without you wanting to even react like that, then the situstion was indeed bad enough to warrant it, so I dont blame you for your breakdown. Of course I dont know what the issue was so I dont know how much weight my opinion has >_<.

In any case, I hope things get better for you soon. Not just so we can get the RP underway but also for your own mental health. Again we're all friends here.

Lastly, I personally have trouble understanding @ScreenAcne upon reading it the first time, but I like to think my guesses based on context clues are right after reading it twice, haha
If you gals are gonna have a sniping contest, Gaius might want to be in on this. He has a reputation to live up to after all
Bot and Gaius sound like they would make for interesting teammates. Since North City has auto-targetting Laser guns (according to Crumbs) I wouldnt be surprised if he or the Findley family had met before during their laser research if ever Bot was called in to calibrate their Friend or Foe identifying CPU's
@Jbcool Im guessing the New Year prwparations have gotten you too busy tonmake the next story post >_<
@mackielars told me they are still interested in playing, they've just been really busy this December. But I don't think they mind having the IC posted before they finish their CS. If anything I think it would give them more inspiration to write ^_^
