The Beginning of the End The Solar Empire of Humanity The Sol System had been completely explored and manipulated by humanity for the benefit of our civilization. They had created artificial suns that wouldn't collapse or deteriorate and collapsed the sun at the center of their solar system in order to create a hole in reality. On the other side was an extremely valuable resource with no equal in this dimension: Great Matter  Great Matter An extra dimensional piece of matter that didn’t follow any understood physical laws. With proper stimulus, Great Matter can be converted to any kind of matter with mass up to 1 hundred times greater than the original product. It could also be used to produce a nearly endless amount of energy. This discovery had ushered in a shining new age of post-scarcity. However, using extra-dimensional matter lead to unforeseen problems. Radical Energy When Great Matter was converted into normal matter, small particles of non-Newtonian energy was released. Because they didn't follow any discernible laws of physics, they couldn't be detected in any way. When enough of these particles gathered, extremely destructive extra dimensional zones where physics and reality no longer applied would open. While the reason behind these anomalies had eventually been puzzled out theoretically, there was no existing technology that could detect or even deal with radical energy until massive colony ships were developed that could convert radical energy into normal energy while keeping people within safe. At the same time, many planets created shelters for people to use when the Anomalies started becoming more and more unstable. By the time the Colony Ships entered sub-light speed in order to fix the problem the Solar Empire of Humanity created, the sol system and surrounding frontier systems had been almost entirely engulfed in anomalies, with an indeterminate amount of time for things to normalize. The Present In your colony ship, traveling at sub-light speed, several generations have passed. However, time outside of the colony is different. For them, millions of years had passed. You don’t quite know what’s out there, but you and some others have been chosen to find out what it’s like now that the sol system has mostly normalized. Your goal is to find out about who or what lives out there, and what you can do with your technology to help them. On the other hand, whether you think they’ll deserve your help, or whether you wanted on to this mission was never up for debate with the elders. ______________________________________________________________  Slowly, all of you descend out of sub-light speed, on your way to an ancient outpost that had recently sent the signal to begin reconnaissance after millenia, or 6 generations in hyperspace. The objective right now was to get fitted and equipped for the long mission ahead, you remember what you had been through to get here. Every generation, people were selected to learn the skills necessary to scout out the region outside of hyperspace, even if each ship in the colony had its own culture and teaching techniques. What was strange about it all was what the colony’s head Elder had to say before sending you all off.  “You may wonder why you were chosen, and that is because you are all the most suited for this task… You may not have been the best on your ship, or been part of the program long, but what you can offer is invaluable either way. I truly and dearly hope you are successful.” What had he meant by “most suited?” it looks like you’ll just need to find out… _______________________________________________________________ Alright, this is a game using a system called Battle Century G, a mecha game. I'm reflavoring it to suit my needs, so you can ignore setting text unless the terminology is difficult to understand, but it's unchanged besides that. Also, there is now Errata that you should refer to when making your characters and mecha, which can be found in this post: devilmaydry posted:OH right, the Battle Century G writer has a blog and has posted two things that'll be of interest to you guys, it's Erratta though... So, some guidelines: 1) The Colony in hyperspace you were all a part of originally is made up of a large conglomerate of capital ships, each of which has developed its own culture and principles, so don’t be afraid of diversifying with having a school kid in the same party as a grizzled soldier or a star knight or whatever. 2) While you can be a soldier or whatever, the society you were a part of was rather peaceful in the grand scale of things, most of your issues were either first world problems or made you an exception rather than the rule. For example, there hasn't been straight-up war in the colonies. 3) While your character may or may not be familiar with piloting giant humanoid machines, they will be a good pilot and their machines will be a perfect match for keeping them alive. Whether that means the robot has a built in AI that fights while the pilot is in the cockpit, the mecha is controlled by thought alone, or anything else, is up to you. 4) Each of you start off with both a free Miracle skill of your choice(you can even make one up if I ok it) and one specialization for that Miracle skill, although you won't have access to either at the beginning of the game. The catch is two-fold, the specialization has to be inconspicuous to the normal person and the Miracle skill itself cannot be used unless you’re in an area filled with Radical Energy or Great Matter, or you spend a Genre Point to over-exert yourself. On the other hand, the Miracle Skill will allow you to hurt mecha while not in your own mecha, and if you’re doing that you can use your mecha’s stats instead of your own. 5) You won’t start out with your mecha, you’ll be gaining your giant robots as well as a few other things shortly after play begins, make them anyway to save time and all that. 6) Besides all that, you’re all starting at Power Level 1. _______________________________________________________________________________________-- Some of the things that influenced my idea for this was Eureka 7, Mobile Suit Gundam: Unicorn, and Evangelion if you want something to put you into the mood I’m going for.  Recruitment will end in 2 weeks on the 6th of April!Edit: Moved the "not starting with a mecha to Guidelines so it's easier to see devilmaydry fucked around with this message at 22:26 on Mar 31, 2014 |

 Doctor Marcos Velásquez the Tenth. The genetically enhanced child of a long line of scientists, Marcos can claim direct descendancy to one of the first researchers who discovered the uses of Great Matter. The founder of the Velásquez clan, Marcos the First, quickly used that fame to gain sovereignty over his own Capital ship, the Luna Negra, who became a giant university-ship to be ruled by his descendants. Many of the Empire's greatest scientific advances come from that colony's inhabitants, and a great part of them come from the Velásquez clan, who started an eugenic cloning program that created a clone of their founder every generation for the next five hundred years. The tenth clone of Marcos Velásquez is an aloof introvert who nevertheless inherited the genius of his predecessors, although with an attitude that alienated him from the other citizens of the Luna Negra. Yet his natural aptitude for mechanics and the mech technology that he developed made him an obvious candidate for his ship's representative for the outer space exploration, and Marcos himself volunteered as a way to test the tech of his self-developed mecha and to explore and examine the post-Hyperspace universe with his own eyes and hands.

Sgt. Clarke Irmgarde "Look alive, ladies, your favorite person in the whole wide world is here. Now sit down, shut up, and pay attention. I'm only gonna explain this once." Like all residents of the Peregrine, Sgt. Irmgarde has been raised in an environment modeled after the militaries of old. Weakness, fear, and the ability to socialize with normal people were beaten out of her at a young age. Even among the residents of the Peregrine, she is recognized for her prowess in combat, and her ability to motivate otherwise to commit violence. It is for this reason that this council officially believes that Sgt. Irmgarde is the most suitable candidate to be sent far, far away from everyone else, where the chaos and discord she causes might be put towards constructive purposes. As a final side note, Sgt. Irmgarde has put in an abormally large number of requests for replacement equipment of all types.

 Sgt. Irmgarde has always preferred to lead from the front, and her machine is an extension of that desire. Built with the intention of making it as hard to keep down as its pilot is, the Decurion is a heavily-armored close-combat mecha that specializes in closing the distance to the most threatening enemy, and tearing it apart. In the unlikely circumstance that one or two solid blows from its mighty fists aren't enough to bring an opponent down, it can also use its arm-mounted railguns, or a chest array of poorly-aimed heavy weaponry.

 Sony Nezal Unlike the other ships in the fleet, the Osprey did not send its best and brightest to the scouting party of the Sol System. Those were reserved for the prestigious school on the ship that produced great thinkers and leaders. No, the Osprey sent the dregs of its society, and one of those was Sony. Born of a Engineering worker with an unknown father, he grew up on the lower decks, causing trouble with every turn. If there was a fault in the ship's systems, it was a fair bet that he had something to do with it. A programmed electrical fire, an insane AI, a drone flying away and never returning. He spent the majority of his childhood in juvy, learning from the long time criminals how to cheat the system, and when he wasn't there his mother taught him all she could about the engineering she learned working for the ship, which she hoped would lead to Sony becoming a worthwhile member of the community. What resulted in such an upbringing was a strange young man, who was able to fix even the more complex machines and yet still cause trouble with authority. After a series of minor pranks, and an exploding Hydroponics bay, Sony was sentenced to 10 years brig time, which was cut short by the call for "volunteers" for this scouting mission after only six months. He was the first to speak up among the prisoners in the brig, and the first to leave, with the condition that he would not be welcomed back to the Osprey no matter what the result of the mission. quote:Sony Nezal  Ursus T-008 "Mammoth" A beast of a machine, the Mammoth was designed for one thing, heavy sustained fire and explosions. With its combination of an oversized Gatling gun, a Rail Launcher that puts Artillery shells in a sort of that direction kind of fire, and a hand cannon that slices through armor, the Mammoth was not intended to be a precise strike force weapon. It was intended to rain death and sustained fire against multiple foes. quote:Ursus T-008 "Mammoth" edit: added in an additional 30 CP and MP because I'm an idiot and misread the book.

Hell yeah giant robots. Also correct me if I'm wrong, but PL1 means 30 more character and mecha points, by how I'm reading the PDF. Basically you have the default 30, plus 30 times your Power Level (which is 0 by default, but presently set to 1 by the GM). Pilot:  "There's nothing to worry about if we work together! No evil can stand before the power of our friendship!" Name: Ryo Kogane Genre Points: 1 Character Points: 0 Attributes: Fitness: 4 Awareness: 5 Willpower: 6 Charm: 4 Intellect: 2 Resources: 1 Derived Stats: Defense: 10 Plot Armor: 6/6/6 Skills: Athletics (Specialist: Track & Field), Combat (Specialist: Fisticuffs), Presence (Specialist: Speeches), Diplomacy (Generalist) Traits: Spirit of Steel, Danger Instinct, Hard Work and Guts, Attractive Miracle: Phantasm (Specialty: Kickass Special Effects) Genre: Reason: Justice!

Rise and unsheathe thine blade, that it may taste the blood of the wicked!' ...Hm, no, too dramatic, and a little scary, let's try something else. 'Unseathe thine blade, that you may defend the innocent! Iron Knight Gawaine!' Now we're onto something!" Name: SRO-005 "Gawaine" Leftover Mech Points: 0 Attributes: Might: 5 Guard: 5 Threshold: 4 Energy: 5 Systems: 0 Speed: 5 Derived Stats: Defense: 10 Damage: 4/4/4/4 Upgrades: Weapon Master (Melee), Invincible Alloy Weapons: Twin Blades (on Arms, reskinned Arm Guardian, the smaller blade aids in parrying), Combined Blade (on Arms, reskinned Chainblade, the two swords can be put together to make a single big sword that's really good at cutting dudes up), Blade Kick (on Legs, reskinned Boosted Lance, throws the sword into an enemy and follows through with a flying jump kick, forcing the sword through the foe), Overhead Cleave (on Arms, reskinned Zweihander, uses the combined sword for a single massive strike that's more reliable than normal attacks with it, but telegraphs like whoa). Backstory: Ryo grew up on a ship that tried to maintain a semblance of normal life for its citizens. Much of the ship's culture was based on old human culture, particularly the twentieth through twenty-fifth centuries. While the technology available to citizens wasn't as fantastic as on other ships, they enjoyed a more carefree existence, enjoying the robust popular culture and far simpler lives than the ships that embraced more transhuman ideals. Ryo himself was weaned on a steady diet of superhero comics, anime, and video games, until he was convinced that he was destined for more than the boring, if safe, life of a civilian. When offered the chance to participate in possible recolonization efforts, he jumped at the opportunity to return life and civilization to the galaxy. He's a little overeager, and more than a little hazy on the separation of fantasy and reality, but he has a strong moral fiber and boundless determination, not to mention the devil's own luck. He's in his early twenties now, and has developed his eccentricities into a talent for giving inspiring speeches, though they're generally better at enamoring the more impressionable cadets than imparting battle tactics. The prospect of actually leaving the colony to explore the unknown and help those in need, either at home or abroad, makes Ryo practically giddy with excitement. The SRO-005, codenamed "Gawaine" is an exercise in combat economics. Using just a single weapon, a large sword that can divide into a pair of smaller swords, the designers worked tirelessly to develop an array of combat options for the mech. The smaller blade is optimized for blocking, allowing for a dual-wielding style that is highly defensive. Together, the blade has the heft and size to cut clean through many foes, while the blade's structure is reinforced so that it can be used in unconventional fashions as the situation requires. The Gawaine itself is designed to excel in melee combat, and built from extremely durable materials to counteract the risks involved in getting so close to an opponent. The mech's abilities are well-rounded in speed, power, and defense, with plenty of energy to power its subsystems. It's not as sturdy as it could be, but the designers are confident that over time, they'll be able to fix that slight problem. As it is, the scientists in charge of development for the Gawaine have heard of a brash young candidate who would be perfect to pilot it...

EclecticTastes DOES have Invincible Alloy, so he could tough it out if he doesn't use Energy for much, and his build is low on energy consumption so it works. It would limit future prospects of higher energy consumption if you just stick to arm weapons, though. Edit: It would also be bad if there was an enemy that screwed with Energy. devilmaydry fucked around with this message at 16:41 on Mar 24, 2014 |

THE RK STANDS FOR QUALITY! quote:Attributes: Backstory Yuka Mori is one of a handful of survivors from a catastrophic failure of her home ship's systems. An EMP from a nearby skirmish disabled the majority of its systems and emergency power was sparse at best, leaving most of the colonists to fend for themselves. Yuka was left in an escape pod by her parents who suffocated hours later. Yuka was picked up a few days later by another ship intercepting the pod's path. Yuka spent the next 34 years normalizing herself, marrying her future ex-husband and having two children she's no longer allowed to see. The divorce came about from a question of her mental wellness with regards to the past incident leaving its mark on her sense of self-preservation. Indeed, she was too loving to her children to be considered fit to care for them. A few months after her second loss, she accepted the call to fight. She was going to make the force her family, parent rookies and look up to commanding officers. It may not be stable, but it's all she's got. Mecha Design Red Kross-90 is meant to be a support unit, offering a simple rifle and a specialized cargo slot capable of holding anything smaller than a train car. It can also run fast and avoid fire to quickly offer resupply and skip back behind the front line. This is all before a reckless engineer put its chargers to use, strapping horns on the head and turning it into a veritable battering ram. One only wonders why Red Kross picked up the Tri-Ceras modification for limited production, and why in god's name Yuka picked this specific model. 4/30: Having earned 6 CP, increased Awareness from 3 to 4.

Typecast: The Fist (Yi isn't much of a leader, or a follower- but give them an enemy and an audience and watch them shine. And watch your enemies fall.) Bane: Hubris (Pride cometh before a fall.

Not being of much use during the long times of peace, and increasingly seen as quaint and out of touch with the times, the Path slowly died out, leaving only Yi Ersan's family. In a way, this was lucky; their now unique skills lead to them being prioritized as colony members. In case of trouble. The death of Yi Ersan's parents during a random accident (hull breach by micro meteoroid; could have been anyone) threw them down a path of pride and obsession unparalleled. Training exclusively in the path, they gave up gender, friendship, and even name, Yi Ersan being a sort of quiet joke. The one thing they held on to through everything was pride. Pride in themselves, pride in their heritage, pride in the ability. Pride is now the last Steel Fist's sword and shield, and they, being called, intend to use it to make the world remember why warriors exist. Mecha Design Matched to its Master, the Fēihóng Lì is the undisputed ruler of the powerful inner force of the Steel Fist. Despite having no ranged weapons, it can engage with its power Tanden Engine blasts from any range. When the opponent is weakened, nothing can stop the devastating power of its Ghost Flame Kick from burning away the defeated. The confusing and rapid footwork makes it hard to catch and even harder to hit. Yi often goads foes into engaging, then dances right past them to nail their unsuspecting backup in the face.

devilmaydry posted:EclecticTastes DOES have Invincible Alloy, so he could tough it out if he doesn't use Energy for much, and his build is low on energy consumption so it works. I'll probably be relying on that until I get enough experience to add Integrated Weapons, but I'll probably be working with arm weapons more than anything, since all of my weapons are "different way to use the same weapon", because EFFICIENT DESIGN. That being said, I can think of one thing to change, though it ups my "ripping directly from Gun X Sword" level a bit...

Among the Council of Crowns, that alliance of NeoFeudal ships, the method was obvious - a grand tournament. Sir Llywelyn Ddewr ap Merfyn, second child of Count Rhos, brother of the Queen of the Gwynedd, became his people's champion. Trained from before he could walk to follow the NeoChivalric Code, to defend those in need and to display courage and refinement in all things, to lead soldiers in battle, and to pilot a Gear. In all these things, Llywelyn excelled. The Grand Tournament tested all facets of the Code, and while Llywelyn did not win every Contest, he placed highly in all. The Master of the Tournament named him Champion, and put him in command of the Fellowship of other winners that the Council sent to support the quest. At which point the proud, insular culture of the Council ran headlong into reality. The Fellowship was broken up - this was a mission, not some romantic story. Several ended up going back to the Council, and the others shuffled off to tasks more suited to their talents. Sir Llywelyn Ddewr ap Merfyn remained, a stranger in a strange land who kept to his Code and hoped to inspire those around him to do better. He was popular among the upper classes, though still seen as strange. For whatever reason, the leadership of the program decided his talents outweighed the cultural difficulties. Now he has to find a way to integrate into a team with profoundly different beliefs and expectations - and to keep them alive. Mecha Design A knight charges into battle. A knight is the shield of his allies. Meeting both of these ideals is difficult to manage in one Gear design, but the Marchog Crwydr comes close. Covered in thick armor, packed with powerful defensive equipment, built from the frame up out of the strongest known alloys, it can stand toe-to-toe with the most powerful opponents. To get into reach of those opponents, the artificers built in a series of powerful thrusters and a massive booster. In combat, the pilot opens with a devastating charge, seeking to break the enemy line with the Marchog Crwydr's massive lance. Once this is done, it hunkers down and holds the enemy, an impregnable citadel in the midst of the melee. Comrade Gorbash fucked around with this message at 01:21 on Mar 31, 2014 |

Here is my complete character sheet. William Leore Background: Every ship had their own method of deciding who would be selected to be sent out far from the Colony Ships and once again explore real space. For the ship of Horizon it was done with a weighted lottery system that should have meant that one of the best soldiers on the ship would be given the honour of helping to establish a foothold into real space, however in a strange turn of fate it the recent recruit William Leore who was picked. Though William was eager for the chance to serve the council had a different view on the matter as the idea of sending a new recruit unto a mission of the utmost importance was not something that they approved of. So in attempt to break William they put him through countless hellish training regimes in the hope that he would eventually give up. However William turned out to be made out of sterner stuff then they expected and after the 12th such failure to make him drop the realised that this situation had actually turned to their own advantage as it was clear that thanks to the intense training he was put through had the skills needed to be an effective warrior which matched with his enthusiasm and willpower would allow him to hopefully overcome any issue through sheer bullheadedness. So after a few months of actual training William was given his assignment and after vowing to win honour for his family he left the Colony Ship for first and in the view of the council hopefully the last time. GP: 1 CP: 0 Attributes: Fitness: 5 (15) Intellect: 2 (3) Charm: 3 (6) Awareness: 4 (10) Willpower: 6 (21) Resources: 2 (3) Total 58 Skills Athletics (Generalist), Combat (Generalist), Vehicles (Generalist) Miracle Skills: Force: Telekinetic Strikes Traits Hard Work and Guts, Spirit of Steel Genre: Reason: Family Honour ("I will live up the legacy of my forefathers.") Typecast: Rookie ("I know I am new to all this but I will prove to everybody that I deserve to be here.") Bane: Bullheadedness ("Yes the last five times I tried it ended badly and I did almost get decapitated in that last attempt but surely just doing it one more time will work perfectly.") Genre Powers Take One for the Team Vanguard  Vanguard was designed to be a line breaker. A mech that could smash into any opposition and draw enough attention to itself that all attention would fall on it rather then the rest of the squad and in this regard the engineers succeeded. With thick armour platting combined with advanced materials taking Vanguard down is a challenge for all but the most powerful mech whilst the fearsome main weapon (an axe that is at least 1.25 times the size of it) will smash apart anything foolish enough to get in it's way, and when combined with the massive sponsor guns that unleash a veritable storm of lead at anything that is unlucky to stand in front of the behemoth makes it a very dangerous foe to contend with. Of course too achieve this power many safety features had to be removed meaning that Vanguard can end up inflicting almost as much damage on itself as it does on the opposition but in the hands of a foolhardy pilot who gives little thought to such petty concerns as survival this mechanical beast can truly live up to its destructive potential.

[60/60 MP Spent] As long as there are pilgrims plying dangerous roads, there are the Knights of St. John. With a history stretching back uncounted years, they maintain their sovereign military nature. On board one of the few dedicated combat craft in the fleet, the Ad Hierosolymum, the Knights have helped guard the rest of the fleet returning to Earth, though not all be Christian. Gerard joined the Order as a full Knight of Justice when he was a young man, and quickly excelled at his work. But one day, while he tested an experimental energy Incinerator, the weapon backfired, horribly maiming Gerard in his cockpit. Though the Order was able to keep him alive, he was not left with much. They were forced to replace many of his internal organs and limbs, to the point where Gerard no longer finds it necessary to eat. Such a change has been... difficult for Gerard to adjust to. He finds it difficult to look others in the eye, and as he says his private Office he has crushed not a few rosaries unwittingly. But his combat efficiency has been undimmed, and he has been seen fit to once again take to piloting the great mechs that defend the fleet. Sagittarius: A sniper-model machine, meant to hang back and devastate the enemy with deadly and accurate fire far beyond their ability to hit back. Gerard's model has a prominent white Maltese Cross on the chest, to denote his vocation in the Order. So, I had a bit of a hard time figuring out character creation, so if people could double-check to see I didn't do something totally wrong, that would be awesome. Also, I really have no idea what's mechanically effective for this, so any tips for making a good sniper-mech (and attendant cyborg pilot) would be appreciated!

It looks like you built the character correctly to me. Although I will say that the colony ships entered Hyper Space not to help travel to earth, but to wait out all the horrible things they caused while using their ship to try and help the sol system and surrounding frontier systems reach a new(survivable) equilibrium. It's all in the OP, you're basically all from a civilization that has fallen completely out of sync with time in order to guarantee its survival. devilmaydry fucked around with this message at 12:11 on Mar 25, 2014 |

OH right, the Battle Century G writer has a blog and has posted two things that'll be of interest to you guys, it's Erratta though... Anyway, the two bits of erratta available are for energy weapons and just general rules changes Sorry about springing this on you, but I only found these recently, and they do change the game a fair bit so including them will be important.

Yeah, that's right. 60 points base for Mecha Attributes, 30 points base for Upgrades and Weapons, 30 points free-assignable for Power Level adjustment = everything adds up to 120. (That is right, isn't it?) 'Course, Beams are all different now, and there's apparently no Speed Miracle at all anymore, so I'm probably gonna have to rehaul her poo poo anyway once I get done reading these links in detail.

I've made some adjustments to my sheet in response to the change to Dueling Blade and Chainblade, in that Chainblade is now awesome and Dueling Blade is less so. Also dropped Providence (nee Fortune) in favor of Phantasm with a specialty in looking  because Providence is now just a boring Resources buff.EDIT: I also swapped Leadership for Attractive, since a lot of other folks seem to want the Leadership trait and so I'll just focus on looking totally awesome. MORE EDIT BECAUSE I KEEP MESSING WITH MY BUILD: I swapped my skills around to specialize in the things I actually intend to use my skills for (Ryo's not going to be doing much gunslinging or ninja climbing, for instance, he's a decent athlete by non-anime standards, but he can't do anything particularly amazing in that department), making room for Diplomacy.

If you guys want to use the old version of providence or an original Miracle skill you made up that would better fit your character, just give your character that and a specialization of that miracle skill. Then, explain the miracle skill in a quote box or something.

Well, I also realized that Providence is the conscious manipulation of fate and luck, which is pretty much the opposite of what I was going for, anyway. So, pyrotechnics! All the better to impress the hell out of everybody with.  Of course since I'm going for a more Nadesico-ish sort of thing, I expect it to work out less favorably than that.

I figured I'd make a (lovely)picture to show what the Sol System looked like BEFORE the colonies left the system for hyperspace. It should be said that not ALL people ended up on colony ships, many hunkered down in bunkers on planets and such instead.  To explain a few things, the Great Gate is the portal formed by our collapsed sun that was used to mine Great Matter, it's become an epicenter of an insane amount of anomalies. Which was used to fuel expedition of the rest of the Sol System and make enough artificial suns and other things to make planetary colonization of inhospitable places possible. While the Great Gate became the epicenter for anomalies, they still wreaked havoc all over the system, or anywhere where Great Matter was utilized over a prolonged period of time. The asteroid belt also had a large amount of space colonies within it. Also, dwarf planets were moved from the Kuipar Belt into stationary positions to function as outposts for ships jumping to frontier systems using Great Matter. The Jump Gates used for this were shut down when the detrimental effects of great Matter showed themselves, however. Right as the colony ships were leaving for hyperspace, the Great Gate had grown large enough to overtake Mercury. The ships that left for hyperspace are equipped with cleaners to hopefully mitigate the effects of the Great Gate, but you won't know how effective it was until you leave Hyperspace... devilmaydry fucked around with this message at 16:12 on Apr 6, 2014 |

Breandan “Little crow” Breen (Female, 26) ”Why do I use pieces from broken machinery? To remember that even if we all are pieces of a broken machinery we can still be of use” "The Ocultar" is a huge ship. So large that, when built, the engineers built it in space because its sheer size would have made it impossible for the ship to leave any atmosphere. The ship was divided in 3 social castes. The divine caste or “divines” are all rich and spoiled brats living in hedonism and excess they rule over the ship with a whim that can change every minute. Under them the retainers live for the entertainment and service of the divines they host and perform the shows the divines love to enjoy while also fulfilling their whims as servants and workers. Not a bad life and they have the chance to eventually if lucky enough one day be taking under the direct wing of a divine or even if extremely lucky improve their station. Lastly at the bottom of the pecking order we have the “rat packs”. They run through the vents and the lower/unvisited parts of the ships. They survive as long as no one notices them or so are they told. They are useful tools for the divines as these invisible children are willing to do those jobs their retainers might refuse due to being too dangerous or immoral. Their only dream is to survive another day and maybe one day turn into a minor retainer. Breandan was a tunnel runner. She delved into forbidden areas were old machinery was left to rot so she could salvage the useful pieces of the different appliances as these could sell well and keep herself with food on the table. Her life changed the day she met Charlie Mannheim. His dream gave her purpose and she started searching pieces for him to build his robo-luchador. But no matter how much he insisted she knew that the spotlight was not for her but she’d do her best to support him. It’s been 6 years since. Life seems to be good until the call from the elders came pre:Attributes Fitness 5 Intellect 5 Charm 3 Awareness 5 Willpower 3 Resources 2 Skills Parkour (05) Stealth (10) Finesse (10) Dirty fighting (05) Miracle skill Salvage: Nothing is truly broken in this world.

Charlie Mannheim, Robot Luchador "Of course I'm gonna do the right thing! The people have to have someone to look up to!" Charlie Mannheim has always been an engineer. Raised as a "retainer" caste in the massive colony ship, the Ocultar, his entire life was learning to be an artisan, to please the "divine" caste with his works. And please them he did - a surprise turn of luck from winning an engineering contest led to him suiting up in a loaner robot and competing in one of the most prestigious sports on the Ocultar - the Mecanicolucha Intergalactico, the largest organization of robot luchadors the ship had ever seen. And his performance was stellar, bringing hype to the crowds in ways that blew minds. His popularity as a pilot grew, but the robots he piloted always changed. It came from being a retainer - he never had the money to buy his own robot. But he had one thing most of the divines never had - a best friend, and a drat good one. Breandan Breen, a friend since he first started piloting robots, but one of the rat-packs, salvaging any parts she could find for the money to scrape out another day of life in the Ocultar slums. They met in a terrible bar, highlights of Charlie's fight earlier that day playing on the holo-screen, and they hit it off. It was one rainy night that Charlie showed up on the doorstep of her place, chattering excitedly in his own way about a new opportunity to pilot robots in the lucha tournaments, that she was convinced. She set herself to salvaging parts for him to build his own robot luchador - one that he could own himself, not one controlled by sponsorships and fickle divines and crime lords. And through it, he would give the people hope, and something to believe in. pre:Fitness 2 (3pts) Intellect 6 (21pts) Charm 5 (15pts) Awareness 3 (6pts) Willpower 4 (10pts) Resources 2 (3pts) 1CP Left SKILLS: Combat (Unarmed) (5PP) Craftsmanship (Giant Robots) (5PP) Electronics (Generalist) (10PP) Science (Generalist) 10PP MIRACLE: Phantasm (Light Shows) TRAITS: Ingenious (5PP) Entertainer (ROBOT LUCHA) (5PP) Hard Work and Guts (10PP) Genius (10PP) GENRE: Reason: Duty. Charlie is a Robot Luchador not because he wants the glory, not because he wants his face plastered all over the holo-vid screen, but because the people need to look up to something. From the halls of Divines' mansions to the slums below street-level, people need heroes. And if Charlie is that hero, that light that people look up to, and if his engineering and robot lucha prowess are what could better this ship and these people, then is it not his duty to do that? Typecast: The Naive Idealist. Charlie honestly, truly believes that he can better the colony with a loaner lucha-bot and a head for science. And sometimes, his idealism and "we can do it!" attitude can be grating. But he sticks to it regardless. Bane: Fragile Moods. Charlie's a great guy, and he'll never give up even when things look dire, but if you drag him down, he'll go into a funk that it's almost impossible to drag him out of. Even Breandan has had trouble pulling him out of his mopey woe-is-me act on a number of occasions, and she's been his best friend for YEARS.

Ladies and gentlemen, UltraDyne is making an amazing comeback here tonight..." Charlie's luchador is an extension of himself, and a callback to his roots. Based off the original specifications of the first robot luchador he ever piloted, and even taking its name, the UltraDyne is a lean, mean fighting machine. Built for close-quarters combat and brawling, its massive metal fists are nearly indestructible. Charlie and Breandan built this mech with their own tools and hands, and it shows. Tailored to every quirk of Charlie's body and wrestling style, it even stands with his familiar posture when idling. And on top of that, UltraDyne has built-in remote camera drones to stream live and at various angles across the holo-net to his fanbase, and an assortment of miniature support vehicles that can be remote-controlled by his luckiest and most loyal fans (or a rudimentary AI, in the event of a holo-net outage.) pre:MECHA: ULTRADYNE Might 5 (15pts) Threshold 6 (21pts) Guard 3 (6pts) Systems 3 (6pts) Energy 3 (6pts) Speed 3 (6pts) UPGRADES/WEAPONS: Indomitable Comeback(The Beast) (20) The Ultra Dash (Over-Booster) (Torso)(10) Dynamic Armguards (Custom Defense (Shooting) (Arms) (5) Lucha Robo Finisher!
