[Nivirres: The Frozen World] (OOC) Communications Channel

I know what you mean. By the way, we're waiting on you in the main thread I think.


Although I must point out, sometimes in this RPG, when action is required and it comes down to a single inactive player I might "auto-pilot" in the sense that if something trivial and understood is concerned, like just now. I mean, there's 99% chance that your character is going to board the vehicle. 1% reserved for suicidal tendencies expressed through staying on a ship about to blow up.
 
I am making minor pauses in duration of a day or two if you have noticed. This is to allow everyone to react, even though there might be some of you who don't think a post is required on their part in some situations. On the other hand, some might like to share their thoughts all the time. Therefore there will always be enough space to fit everyone's needs, unless of course everyone posts, in which case no delay will be made if I can help it.


Chapter One is nearing it's completion, like you might have guessed already, and will be concluded soon. Rest assured that the other chapters will be significantly longer. This is merely an intro. If you're interested, know that I have planned out 10 chapters in total.
 
Announcement


Our newest member of the Inn, Contrition003, has joined the RPG and his character will be playing instead of the NPC turian that was just a placeholder from the start anyway. In short, we're pretending that he was part of Alpha team from the start and that there was never a turian.


All 6 members of Alpha team are now players. Good luck ladies and gentlemen. The mission is a go. Or will be, if you survive the landing.
 
Having discussed the issue of characters dying with Contrition, I thought I might as well speak in public. People die in my RPs. I am undoubtedly on your side, but bad decisions can and will eventually kill you off. Now, another thing are heroic deaths in the last chapter, so volunteers please step forward. If there are none, I'll try to get you all through but no promises.


Here's a possible example scenario:


Storyteller: "O'Neill and Nessad proceed ahead of the group to scout, their weapons at the ready. They stop to observe. The area ahead is a snow-covered field with not a soul in sight."


Contrition: "Nessad moves up to see what happens."


Lareo: "O'Neill warns him it looks suspicious."


Storyteller: "It looks suspicious."


Contrition: "He doesn't care, moves up anyway."


Storyteller: "There's a warning sign half buried in the snow. It depicts a minefield warning."


Contrition: "Nessad doesn't believe in warnings. He goes on bravely."


Storyteller: "Inadvisable, but he does. Nothing happens. He gets the feeling he should turn back and get some detection equipment."


Contrition: "Nessad favors his gut over any equipment. If there really were any mines, he'd have sniffed them out by now. He's that hardcore. He walks on."


Storyteller: "*cough cough* inadvisable *cough*".


Lareo: "O'Neill says: 'Don't do it man. We can take another route...'"


Contrition: "Nessad interrupts O'Neill, saying: 'Other routes are for cowards. I'm a soldier goddammit!'"


Lareo: "Whatever man."


Storyteller: Ok, one more try... "Nessad gets a bad feeling just as he is about to take another step."


Contrition: "He takes the step like a pro."


Storyteller: Ok, ONE MORE. He was a good player so far, dunno dafuq is wrong with him. "Time seems to slow down from Nessad's perspective as he accidentally spots a piece of metal protruding from the snow just where he is about to step."


Contrition: "He steps. That's a piece of metal and he's a soldier. A soldier!"


Lareo: "Omg."


Storyteller: "In complete surprise, Nessad blows up on a mine. If only this tragedy could have somehow been avoided..."


Contrition: "Can I get a new character? You killed this one."


Storyteller: *sigh*
 
LMFAO!

Brilliant choice, trust me.


Glad you like it, boys :D
 
Chapter One is now officially ended!


Thread will remain open for replies until the next chapter begins, after which it will be locked. You may still post in the current chapter until that happens to conclude your character's thoughts and the like.

Updated Coryn's Banner.
 
Chapter Two is officially out!


Old chapter thread has been locked. Everyone posted except Lareo towards the end, so I hope he won't mind. I don't want to stall this any longer.


The mission is a go.
 
You still making those banners? If so, I'm pretty interested, they look dang good.
Click to expand...
Yes, I am. Give me a reasonably sized character image (with or without background) And any special requests besides the name text font/color/format and the size and shape.


Edit - Good to hear, couldn't wait for chapter two.
 
Ok so your characters got some tasks now, so a note: Aside from in-game, I will at times be giving out info feed through PM. You are free to come up with stuff on your own, but not anything groundbreaking. Unless I say so, the radar doesn't suddenly show up a dozen enemy vehicles approaching, and Bravo team isn't heard from the radio. These are things you can't influence, so their appearance will be hinted by me in some manner.


Another thing is Coryn's driving. He doesn't need my permission to drive into a rock wall.
 
So renarion has let me custom my armor, just so everyone knows here is it's info. The logic here is that i'm not going to be finding many if any relevant improvements so i'll need to start out with something capable.

  • Interdicterate Duress Engineer Light Plate (I-DELP): The 'Interdicterate' is the Quasai races largest nation and it's most powerful. The Interdicterate Imposition, or their military, manufactures light alloy plating specifically designed for engineers that come under fire in combat situations. It includes the standard suite of MAMAPs, and also the SEOT which all combat engineers are issued with. SEOT stands for Standard Environment Omnifunction Tool. This small gauntlet contains a micro-fabricator which is integrated within the Quasai's own physiology to manufacture small parts, it also has a soldering tool, screwdriver, cutting saw, and computer interface tool. It's designed to allow for simple field repairs without a standard working environment. This design sacrifices armor for functionality.
    Light
  • +2 Defense (Or less of its too much)
  • Engineering Gauntlet allows simple field repairs without workshop




It should be in my profile at some point in more or less the same state here.
 
i like to think im a better driver than to drive into a rock wall >.< lol besides i dont wanna crash the vehicle unless its hinted at :P lol
 
I was merely illustrating two different points, although I'm sure none of the above is new to anyone here.


Plot continues when I get back home tonight, in roughly 11 hours from now. I've waited for long enough.
 
i'll prob log back in about midnight when i get to work, cursed night shifts. >.< but im looking forward to what plot twists are upcoming :)
 
I've been meaning to issue a general map of the situation sooner, but kind of forgot. There will be better, improved and more detailed maps in the future, both planetary quadrant maps as well as local maps and even micro maps to illustrate more complex combat encounters to make sure everyone has the same picture in their heads and so to minimize any chance of misunderstandings.

Notice


I have updated the character stat display. The new, unique style has already been edited into all of your sheets. Let me demonstrate on commander Tyder, who as you can see already has some points from levelup. This is because he is your experienced veteran commanding officer, and his abilities are expectantly augmented.


Attributes and Skills (TOTAL VALUE = STARTING + BONUS + LEVEL UP)


Strength: 7 (5+1+1)


Agility: 12 (9+1+2)


Intelligence: 8 (6+1+1)


Melee Weapons: 10 (5+3+2)


Ranged Light Weapons: 9 (5+2+2)


Ranged Heavy Weapons: 15 (8+4+3)


Light Armor: 10 (5+3+2)


Heavy Armor: 0 (0+0+0)


Engineering: 8 (5+2+1)


Security: 6 (5+0+1)


Stealth: 11 (7+3+1)


First Aid: 3 (0+1+2)


On another note, the plot will be continued as soon as possible.
 
A few more announcements.


First, I have included a link to Nivirres in my signature, and I will do the same for every RPG that I create in the future.


Second, KeiroD, one of the early players, has returned after being absent since the start of the game. Since he never really played, he has now been tagged as on the Waitlist, and will be entering the game itself as soon as possible.


I hope to see you all posting soon, because I have a lot shi- I mean fun, to put you through :D
 
My apologies for these several days of inactivity. I've been preparing things for the insertion of some new players, and it seems Falchion has gone missing without a word. Until his return, I will play his character Shawn Hraelus on autopilot - meaning that his actions will be governed by the most logical choice determined by my judgment.


Also, I would ask patience from TWIF, Petal and Contrition. Right now your characters are a bit on pause due to the action taking place somewhere else, but don't fear! The current situation will be resolved before long. Meanwhile, you are nowhere near "out of the game". Feel free to take this opportunity to develop relations between your characters, talk about your past and reveal whatever you like about each other ingame!
