Been busy the past couple of days and have problems with internet - but hopefully will be up and running with the next GM post. :)

Scattered Shades: Arcadia Chronicles

Hey, sorry guys, some unexpected complication came up and I'm without internet for a few days. That on top of midterms and work, I haven't been on the forums at all and I probably won't be until next week. That being said, I might have to drop out for now since I don't want to hold anyone up!

If it's ok, I'll contact the GMs about maybe dropping back in once I get things sorted out in a few days. Until then, have fun!!

Scattered Shades: Arcadia Chronicles

Ziko Sinnet

_{- - - - (Personal Details)}
First Name: Ziko

Last Name: Sinnet

Age: 24

Sex: Male

Home Nation: Teknoh

Appearance:

5'10, weighing 160lbs. Long, crimson hair that is usually in a pony-tail or handsome braid. Sturdy stature from working with heavy machines all of his life, as well as having a rough and tan complexion.

Personality:

Eccentric, curious, and enigmatic are three words that can be used to describe Ziko Sinnet. He is a man of his own world, having set foot into the forbidden lands just so he could sate his thirst for adventure and wealth of the unearthed treasures. So it doesn't really bother him that people look down on him as a Junker. Hell, his projects are very expensive - what's wrong with getting paid for the efforts of his adventures? The more money he can get into his pockets, the more repairs and constructs he make.

As a person, he can be quite unpredictable, having a set of logic and reasons conformed by his many years as a capable Machinist. After all, an unorthodox mind is almost a requirement to bring life to a pile of rusted scraps. Socially, he is sanguine with an upbeat attitude though he can sometimes be too direct and obtrusive. He is daring and adventurous, often taking the necessary risks to reap his long-awaited rewards. He has quite the silver tongue, being able to charm his way out of most situations.

History:

Born into a moderately wealthy family in the technological nation of Teknoh, Ziko has always had a fascination with the Arcane Constructs of his home. He was greatly influenced by his father who was an Arcane scientist that dedicated his life to harnessing the limitless potential of raw energy into stable batteries for the purpose of innovating the future of Teknoh. When he was old enough, Ziko pursued his own path by apprenticing under a well-known Machinist of the city and under his master's tutelage, was able to grasp the applicability of magic into machines.

It was then that Ziko flourished into a mechanical prodigy, having helped creating many constructs both original and traditional throughout the years: machines that aid in the efficient generation of power for their city, vehicles that can be powered by multiple batteries to be used for long trade routes, and he even dabbled in the creation of weaponry that harnessed that power of mages to defend the themselves if Teknoh's M3-FFG was ever breached. At the age of fifteen he had already developed a prototype of an arcane cell that would allow him recharge his A/B's through the conversion of natural sunlight into raw energy, instead of depleting the sources of existing nodes. But due to the limitations of the existing technology as well as his arcanic knowledge, he was never able to finish it.

So he decided, at age eighteen, to leave his home. Having mastered the techniques that Teknoh offered him, he wanted to further unlock his potential by learning from the outside world. Even if the title Diver was considered taboo from the rest of Thorisa, it did not matter to him. Ziko spent years on the road conducting his researches all for the sake of improving his craft and that was all that mattered. But then the new initiative from CMAS came into light, and things couldn't get any better - now he could get paid and further fuel his innovative constructs due to the options of other resources he couldn't afford before. From time to time he would wander to different colonies as he waits for his first established mission to offer his services as a Machinist, but he seldom got any work like he did before, let alone attention...because who would want to be be seen with a Junker? Disliked by both sides of the world now, he confides mostly with his machines. Despite the negativity, he can still be seen with an unwavering smile and a sturdy assortment of tools in his hands.

Occupation: Junker and wandering Machinist.

_{- - - - (Power Matrix)}

Primary Focus: Arcane (through the use of machinery).

Magical Capabilities:

Zico, in essence, is no mage - he has no innate source that allows him to draw from the Arcane forces. That being said, however, the young man is quite capable in the magical arts but in a more applicable kind of way. Having studied the ancient form of energy for most of his life-time, he has a crisp understanding of it's natural laws and physical fundamentals that he can manipulate the raw energy into his creations, and thus, born technological wonders to aid him in his ventures. From simple gadgets to mobile constructs, as long as resource allows it, the potentials are limitless.

Body Modifications:

Arcane-Infused Eyes: By implementing small, A/B crystals within the synthetic eyes that are compatible with his brain's neurological network, they are perpetually powered so long as he is healthy and alive. They grant him advanced vision, night or day, to aid with his marksmanship, scouting abilities, and efficiency with precision when working on circuits and conduits on complex machines.

Weapons and Equipment:

Primary Arsenal

- Custom-Built Rifle EX-3 ArcBolt: A highly variable rifle with an Arcanic-modified receiver and chamber to house different types of 'magic bullets' created by utilizing condensed energy from special Arcane Batteries called "Arcane Ammo (A/A)". The weapon is able to accumulate the refined energy within the attachable mags before dispelling it with the force of a bullet. The parts of the rifle are interchangeable, and he usually carries different mods so that he may be well-equipped for specific needs at different ranges.

Along with the variable rifle, he has also created different types of bullets by manipulating the properties with the contained Arcane energy in each mag and how they would react with the receiver of the gun. The bullets range from elemental damage to explosive rounds, each type of ammo having their unique strengths, draw-backs, and prep work.

Secondary Arsenal

- Arcane Infused Grenades/Bombs/Mines: By radically tampering with raw, Arcane energy and building a housing unit to withstand it's destabilized nature, Zico is able to create explosives. These are very costly to make and are very dangerous. They vary in size and shapes, and are triggered through the activation of a catalyst with a quick shake before throwing. They range from elemental types, to cluster explosions, and can even detonate with healing factors.

- Turrets: No one wants to tread No-Man's-Land by themselves and to fix that problem, Zico has created different types of turrets to aid him with the unknown forces. A lot of them are large but lightweight immobile sentries that are powered by A/B that can detect movement and automatically respond though they can be somewhat inaccurate. Some are even portable and disposable - they are in throwable cubes and when activated, transform into a miniature turrets that can harass for a strategic distraction. The only downside is that they detect movements and motions in general, and therefor, he must be wary of friendly fire.

Gadgets

- Portable Shields: Using arcane energy that has been synthesized to become highly dense and tightly packed when activated, Zico can throw down barriers for himself and allies. They act as a tiny, very much down-graded version of the M-3 FFG used in major cities. They range from walls to domes, and the duration and strength of the shield depends on the shape and size of the protected layer. Wider shields mean more weak spots, whereas a smaller cover style can take a up a few more punches.

- Torch Orb: A small, clear sphere with an A/B crystal set at it's center. Releasing a steady stream of synthetic light when activated, it acts as a portable light source.

- 00 "Cache" MK II - A quad-pedal, large dog-size machinery that acts as a mobile storage unit for Zico's various tools and resources when he ventures out to No-Man's-Land. As a Machinist, he is in constant need with his parts if he wants to survive out in the barren wilds, as he cannot rely on his own physical talents to keep him alive. The machine is automated with special A/B that resonates which another that Ziko carries. Because of the arcanic link, the machine is able to 'follow' Ziko, so long as he has the other battery on his persons.

Specialties: Expert marksman, proficient in most types of machineries, and is adept at the fundamentals of Arcane manipulation.

@Hatman1801 Will do so once i get home from work!
thanks~

Scattered Shades: Arcadia Chronicles

@tex Nah, go for it! Just make it trademarked under Sinnet Inc. :p Just kidding. But is it okay if he have the capability to modify the bullets to have different properties? elemental bullets, armor penetrating, explosive, ect. Or would those be available too? If they are, I have another way his gun could be unique. :p

Going on with the discussion of aerial vehicles, if they are limited, what about ground vehicles? what are they like, and what are the limitations ?

Scattered Shades: Arcadia Chronicles

@Hatman1801 The turrets would range from a foot to four feet, and must be assembled first prior to use - they are usually separated into multiple, smaller parts that can be carried within Cache, his mobile storage unit and work station. All of the turret's parts are interchangeable, meaning he would bring a set amount of resources that could either make one bigger turret, or two to three smaller ones. The throwable ones, however, are much smaller. They are basically little jack-in-the-boxes that spring up and fire a small barrage of 5-10 pellets or beads before deactivating.

@tex Fixed the history so that he is a Diver before he became a Junker. Removed the mentioning of satellites. Removed the Scouting Orb in replacement of a flashlight type of gadget. And under his Magical Capabilities section, by moving constructs, it would be more like his Cache machine than a golem - nothing really automated, just has the capability to move. :) Is that ok? Or should I change it?

Also, quick question about the turrets - would it be too much if they can fire his modified 'Arcane Ammo' as well? Don't want to go too overboard, since I'm still tentative of how far I can go with Thorisa's current tech.

Scattered Shades: Arcadia Chronicles

Hopefully this is ok! I'm not totally sure how technologically advanced Thorisa is, so I might went a bit overboard with his gadgets. Also, I just want to make a note that he does not carry an endless supply of resources with him. Typically, he will plan and make/bring gadgets according to his route into the No-Man's-Land at the time. Otherwise, his spare resources will be kept in storage at safehouses in different settlements he encounters throughout his travels.

I hope that makes sense, and can't wait for the feedback!

<Snipped quote by Blue Demon>

My notes. I think there needs to be just a bit of clarification here.

@Hatman1801

...IDK if u're being sarcastic and hinting at something, or u're actually being genuine saying that. D;

Scattered Shades: Arcadia Chronicles

@Blue DemonAs he has said, you dont have to be a junker/diver. I am making a airship piolet that will go to ground too. I dont think you have to, again, I am not having magic just lots of cool gadgest and maybe some magic equpiment, the mechanical limbs is a way of saying "You cant have magic and metal limbs". Demonology, No fucking clue

@User

Yup, gonna have my character non-magic too, he's gonna be a machinist who can create a lot of battlefield traps and support gadgets using A/B. Us normals gotta stick together!

Scattered Shades: High-Fantasy RP

Very much interested if there's enough room!
