Futuristic Freelancer Legends (OOC)

[Nessuno]

Here is where we can discuss Ideas for characters and any questions can be asked and answered about the RP.

If you have any Exo-Armor questions don't hesitate to ask. For the most part this decision will be cosmetic.
Here is a one-liner description of each Exo-Armor:

Spartan: Versatile (upgradable and modifiable), Durable, enhances all physical abilities, HUD, Comms, Self-Contained (Able to be worn in hazardous environments that would otherwise kill a human.)

Commando: Versatile, Durable, Significantly enhances all physical abilities, HUD, Enhanced Comms, Self-Contained, AIDT (Auto Injury Detection and Treatment) System, W3Ms ("wems" Waist Mounted Mobility Module System is a waist mounted miniature jet propulsion package that gives the user enhanced jumping and the ability to run on vertical surfaces) [Used by Cpt. Nobody]

Cloak: Enhances physical abilities, Minimal HUD, Enhanced Comms, W3Ms, Cloaking (When activated, suit bends light around the wearer, veiling them in an Active Camouflage), Spotting Lense (Extremally long range visual lense giving the wearer incredibly versatile vision.)

Hive: Very Durable, enhances all physical abilities, HUD, Comms, Self-Contained, Hive-Link (Allows all Hive suits to link to one other and other tech allowing a multitude of advantages), Data Archive (Can download and store immense amounts of data, the suit can take its own data or, with one of its multitude of ports, download it from other systems), Corrosive deterrent (Due to the vast amounts of valuable intel in a Hive suit they are fitted with a reserve of corrosive liquid that is ejected whenever the suit is tampered with without proper identification. The liquid is also reroutable to nozzles in the forearms)

Bear: Extremally Durable, enhances all physical abilities, HUD, Comms, Self-Contained+ (Enhanced ability to survive in hostile environments.) Bear Gauntlets (Extremally durable offensive armor module attached to the forearm of the suit, It is retractable.)

Jaguar: Extremely durable, significantly enhances all physical abilities, HUD, Comms, Self-Contained, Bear Gauntlets, Geo-Tracker (360 degree active mapping and lifeform tracking), Enhanced Rebreather and underwater webs (this Exo-Armor is built around transversal amphibious and dry ground operations switching between the two seamlessly.)

Storm: Very Durable, Significantly enhances all physical abilities, HUD, Comms, Self-Contained, Atmosphere Generator (Allows suit to collect aspects of the current atmosphere and turn it into unique offensive or defensive abilities)

Elite: Very Durable, Enhances all physical abilities, HUD, Comms, Self-Contained, M.U.L.E. (suit mounted weaponry, Also weight bearing hydraulics, giving the suit increased strength to lift, push, and carry.)

Brute: Fortress, HUD, Comms, Self-Contained, M.U.L.E., Trojan Chassis (Wearer is contained inside the main body of the suit and controls the suit from inside.)

Jackal: Somewhat Durable, Significantly enhances all physical abilities, HUD, Comms, Self-Contained, M.U.L.E., Flight Package (Lightweight frame with lots of miniature jets and boosters giving the suit limited flight capabilities.)


In addition, Here are some Exo-Armor reference images.

also, someone mentioned asking about the post requirements. Is there a minimum number of paragraphs?

Sorry I realize I didn't make that clear.

I will expect most writers to be able to contribute 1-3 Paragraphs depending on how much happened between their last and current posts.

I will implement a 3 strike rule. If I feel you have underperformed on a post I will contact you privately and request that you put more effort into your posts.

That is strike one.

If I see it again and have to say something, Strike two.

The third time I see a lazy post, You will be removed from the RP.

If something real life related is effecting your posts or ability to post, or if you just want to take a break, message me and we will work out a way to put your character into a standby status.

Dope. Got a few questions about stuff.

For our Exo-suits, are we able to make any particular adjustments or modifications beyond aesthetic stuff? For example, things like making the Brute more mobile or giving it better sensors.

Also I assume that most if not all of us came from Earth? My background involves some civil war stuff in asia, but that assumes asia even exists currently.

Im 100% cool with your character being born on a colony planet. The Earth is like, Dystopia, at this point. Only the insanely rich and wealthy live there, theres no crime, no resistance.

However any (and all) of the colony planets constantly have some sort of unrest or insurgency going on.

PM me with your idea for the Colony planet youre from and we can totally make it a thing!

In regards to Exo-Armor modifications, at this point in the story, No.

Well, Mostly no.

Any Exo-Armor that is considered "Versatile" can be modded with some aspects of the other Exo-Armors. (If you wish to do this, contact me in a PM and we can talk)

Specifically the Brute, Its already pretty mobile (enough so to keep up with ground movements of all the other Exo-Armors) and with its design there's an extremely low likelihood of anyone being able to make it faster or more nimble, Its just not made for it.

Sensors are more likely however, You can decide to replace some of your mounted armaments for enhanced sensors or comm units. This makes you a much more valuable Freelancer because everyone is a combat specialist when it comes to Freelancers, Not as many are useful in the ways of gathering intelligence or relaying comms from planet side to orbital stations.

Cool cool cool. I'll message you later about some ideas I have.

 

[YsFanatic]

Is the versatile trait needed to swap out smaller externally mounted pieces of equipment between missions? Like if a character normally has a small piece of support equipment mounted on the forearm (for example a launcher for deploying communication relay pods) but wants to swap it out for some kind of backup weapon for missions where the support gear isn't needed.

The Versatile Trait is required if you want to start the RP with any major modifications to your Exo-Armor. Like W3Ms or advanced comms relay on a suit that doesnt normally have it.

Depending on the modifications I may allow 2 or more to be made to a single Versatile suit.

However when it comes to small, plug and play attachments and other small modifications, within reason I will allow any suit to have them. If you get carried away I will say something.

what are the different armor classes?

There is a link at the bottom of the first post in this thread.

Here it is again.

I suggest reading the first post again thoroughly. It has a lot of very good information pertaining to Exo-Armor.

 

[CalamityQueller]

Hello hello! Just a quick question before I begin creating my character sheet. Are coded character sheets allowed, given that they contain all the needed information? If not, that is quite alright :]

Depending on my muse, I should be able to finish my character sheet by the end of today or tomorrow! I can't wait to begin this RP!

If youre just talking about spicing your CS up with some BBC code than absolutely, Im just not a BBC code wizard like some people so my stuff tends to look rather bland haha!

My apologies for the late response, As Ive said before Im currently deployed to Iraq so the hours that I am awake and have time to respond/answer is pretty much mid work/school day in the states. I try to stay up long enough to catch you guys as you get out of work/school but sometimes I just cant stay up that late.

Yeah its just an extra duty that we get. Especially often when deployed like we are because we have a lot of stuff going on all night.

So we rotate through a roster so that only one person gets a super shitty shift.

It usually takes about a week for it to come back round as well so its not bad.
