The War of the Three

It's robots and people.

@TheWindel

Okay, I'll probably write up my sheet tonight or tomorrow morning.

Just need to decide if I'll go with generic cute girl and giant robo friend or mix it up a bit with genius robot creator making a demon/robo hybrid thing.

The War of the Three

Hey, was interested in joining this but before I made a CS I just wanted to ask something about the Machine faction. Is it limited ONLY to robots or is it like, robot and people. Like, I got an (two) ideas for a character who is human and owns a robot.

Overwatch - Golden Age

Ultimo

Full Name: Alex Frontier

Alias: Ultimo

Age: 24

Birthday: Aug 18th

Appearance:

Hider

Role: Evasion Tank

Hobbies: Playing budget video games, working for Overwatch.

Likes: Fast Music, Being in his Exosuit, Video Games, Fighting, Being Fresh, His Friends, His Sister

Dislikes: Not being in his Exosuits, criminals, Omnics, Those who are not fresh

Abilities:
Higher and Higher: Ultimo supercharges his Exosuit's legs, enabling him to throw himself high into the air to avoid gunfire and get a bird's eye view of the situation. Though landing from this height takes a moment to recover.

High Voltage: Ultimo directs some of his Exosuit's energy to the area in front of him, effectively turning him into a man-sized taser.

Burning Up: Ultimo's strongest move. Over heating his entire suit to it's breaking point. The heat is so intense that anyone near the suit will feel like they are on fire, burning all those around him in a 25 meter radius.

Tools and Weapons:
Type-52 Combat Exosuit Ultimo Ver. : What separates Ultimo from the average human, a suit that puts him in the same league as combat oriented Omnics, greatly enhancing his agility and durability. His custom version has interior speakers and is painted gold on top, black on it's legs. Often worn with leather jacket and scarf.
Dual X2-B3 Machine Pistols : A bit slower firing then a certain someone's Pulse Pistols, but much more heavy hitting and much more accurate. Ultimo prefers using these pistols over rifles since they are light and easy to move when he's jumping around.

Biography:
Ultimo grew up as Alex Frontier, a young boy with no real aspirations. His parents doted on him and his sister, spoiling them and making their lives easy as can be. In short, Ultimo's childhood was good, all too good. His easy lifestyle was cut short, however, when a Omnic criminal accidentally killed both his parents during a robbery gone wrong. After that, Ultimo had to care for his sister, taking on various jobs to earn money for food. Years went by and Ultimo eventually wound up as a (paid) test subject for a companies new line of combat Exosuit. The job was easy, he just had to live in the suit for a few days to make sure the suit wouldn't overload and kill it's operator. Luckily the experiment was a success and the company hired him on as a full time tester, suddenly making Ultimo a very rich boy. During one test, the facility was attacked by a mercenary group seeking to steal the Exosuits for themselves. Using one of the newer suits, Ultimo fended them off until security could arrive. During the fight, Ultimo discovered his love for fighting. After that day, Ultimo bought the Exosuit he used with his own money and went off to join Overwatch. Ever since then he has been using the same Exosuit, seemingly never leaving it even to this day.

Personality:
Ultimo is loud, overly friendly and is way too over confident with himself. It doesn't help that he acts like he is from the 90s for some reason that no one can quite figure out. Despite all that he is easy to get along with and is always ready to help anyone in need. But as much as he likes helping people there is one other thing that he enjoys more, fighting. Nothing get's his blood pumping or makes him feel as alive as getting into a good scrap. As an Overwatch member he can do both which suits him just fine. For an unknown reason he never leaves his Exosuit except in privacy, resulting in no one knowing what he actually looks like. If asked why he stays inside he always gives a different answer, but the most common one being it makes him "look badass".

Family:
Susan Frontier - Mother - Deceased
Geoffrey Frontier - Father - Deceased
Alice Frontier - Sister - Alive

Additional Notes:
Ultimo always has music playing inside his suit when fighting, pumping him up mentally. This has caused him to ignore team mates more then once, causing a few problems.

The War of the Three

I'm interested, especially in the machine faction

'Fraid not, sorry.

@DeadBeatWalking

Aww, it looked fun.

Oh well, I'll probably still watch from afar, seems like it'll be good for a laugh or two.

Primetime Wartime

<Snipped quote by Shyla Nesthorn>

You can have a character that's okay with being televised, but no military force, interplanetary or not, would allow a dysfunctional link in their unit as it causes unnecessary hazards to friendly forces. Your character can be fine with being filmed, and they can be on the top of the downward slope towards losing the plot, but they'll never actually reach rock bottom.

@The Scotsman

I didn't mean 'lost it' as like, completely lost the plot but rather then acting like he's some sort of star on this televised war was just his way of coping with the fact that he's been thrown across the galaxy to fight some alien force. Just worded it badly

Primetime Wartime

I wouldn't allow 'lost it', I would fully endorse 'having trouble grasping' or 'questioning oneself' though

@The Scotsman

Aw, so I can't have a character who is okay with being televised then? Alright, I'm still in though, I like this idea.

Primetime Wartime

Yeah! It's a large plot motif that they're struggling with the concept of being judged 24/7 for doing their job from millions of miles away by people who can't judge them. Glad to have you!

@The Scotsman

I was actually thinking something like, a guy who has lost it and ended up embracing the fact that many are watching him, thinking that he's now some kind of TV star and that the war isn't even real or just doesn't care anymore.

𝕯𝖚𝖓𝖌𝖊𝖔𝖓𝖘 𝖆𝖓𝖉 𝕯𝖔𝖚𝖈𝖍𝖊𝖇𝖆𝖌𝖘

Ohh this sounds fun, are you still accepting?

Primetime Wartime

Violent crusade against non-humans in space?
Televising it to the rest of humanity?

Count me in!

Just one question, do the soldiers know they are being televised back home? I might have an idea for a character if so.
