I am writing my bio for a scrunty Operator

ADBOT LOVES YOU

Aug 16, 2006

quote:

The Operator Scout! – This agile, technical Scrunt specialises in operating machinery and combat vehicles! His comrade Jekk is talkative, with a ginger mohawk!


Groin Sklunger is a one eyed, one eared, one legged, one armed, half-bearded grizzled old scrunt. What he lacks in body parts, common sense and personal hygiene, he more than makes up for in an intense passion for all things motorised, loud, and dangerous. His missing limbs have been replaced by poorly sourced bionics which are constantly in various states of disrepair; Sklunger possess just enough technical affinity to maintain these parts, but he is no Technoscrunt. His unfortunate half-beard disability is due to a flamer burn, which has scarred half of his scrunty old face. He smells constantly of very burnt roasted pork.

Groin has one of the worst, but also most experienced service records in the scrunt armed forces, having wrecked or totally destroyed pretty much every land vehicle issued to him. He has never been allowed control of an aircraft, it would probably best for everyone involved that this remain the case. While he is definitely not the most reliable, competent or sane driver, he is always the first to volunteer for a crazy or dangerous task, as long as he gets to drive a bitchin ride or make something loud and grindy do loud grindy things.

When he is not behind the wheel, Sklunger is either blind drunk, asleep or nursing a hangover. In fact, Groin is often one of the three when he is behind a wheel too...

Groin appears to have survived so long either through luck, tenacity or from his old drinking buddy Jekk jumping to his aid.

Groin's last known mission brief was to ferry a vital shipment of Scruntwiser Ale to an important location, but unfortunately read the directions wrong and has ended up aboard a transport ship heading out of the system.

Groin has caught Scurrilous Scruntson coveting Groin's bionic arm and leg. Groin reckons Scruntson wants to detach and steal the bionics to use in his nefarious Technoscrunt studies. Groin no longer trusts Scruntson and is keeping his only eye on him.

Groin owes Dak Rugby a favour for saving Groin from choking on his own vomit, after consuming one to many alcoholic beverages.

++SCRUNTEK++
Poor Bionic Leg: When running, or when amusing or dangerous, the user must succeed on an Ordinary (+10) Agility Test or fall at the end of his movement.
 
Middling Cybernetic Eye: Poor cybernetic eyes are problem-ridden imitations of the real thing, it's vision is rendered in low-resolution monochrome.
The eye will occasionally fritz out and do bad things when it would be interesting (glow red when hiding, switch to xray when viewing rare works 
of art, explode etc). May occasionally act as Poor Quality Baleful Eye, seemingly at random.
 
Half-way Decent Bionic Arm: Poor Craftsmanship versions are more cumbersome and visibly artificial; normally functions exactly the same as a normal arm,
but may occasionally malfunction and perform a random unwanted action such as frantically making a jerk-off motion at the worst possible moment.

Grappling Hook has been installed into the Bionic Arm. 

Groin has a moderately radioactive tongue.

Yeah if everyone could have a gander at that it would be helpful - certainly look at pages 8 through 15 as they tell you what all the stats are and what the skills do, and feel free to have a look through the body of the adventure if you want to see what sort of situations pop up and what sort of things require skill tests.

However, common sense rules kinda apply - I'm going to assume you know a meltagun will be good against tanks, but I'm not going to assume you know it does 2d10+10 energy damage with a penetration of 12.

looked at page 9 and immediately read Scrutiny as Scruntiny

I would also like to add my bionics on my sheet but I dunno what to do?

I would like my leg to be a hindrance at moving, my eye to decrease my depth perception, and my arm to make driving harder (but punch better)

I think I will take the leg and eye being lovely and just have the robo arm work like a normal arm

but hopefully they will malfunction in the future

Yeah whatever just assume it has spikes and impact plates on and poo poo, and you can hit things with the arm and have it count as the monotruncheon. If you ever get captured and disarmed they're taking the hitty-bits off your arm though.

I am ok with this

Oh yeah I forgot I chose Melta as your final weapon training choice. There are other melta tools than meltaguns, mind - meltacutters spring to mind, they're like turbocharged versions of the lascutter Moola's scrunt has, which is in turn basically a turbowelder that cuts things. If you want to change that to Bolt or Plasma or Ork or something just shout, because you won't find/make melta weapons until you really go looking for them.

it says lascutters arent good at hitting moving targets

what if I get someone to pin them down then cut them???

also I would like the lascutter to shoot from my lovely bionic eye

I won't be able to post today, since I'm busy now and will get drunk with other people later, but I privately rolled a D6 to cast a prayer for the speedy recovery of Groin's scrunticles

I rolled a four so the scruntfather slightly cares about his scrunticles and reduces the swelling a bit

many thanks

I would like to find a vehicle and do terrible things with it

but I'm also fine being ordered around by the Scrergeant (Scrunt Sergeant)

Groin doesn't really have any initiative

Ok so, if when I finish cutting through the turret hatch, and I decide to throw myself on the gunner and melee him, would I get the following bonuses?:

Easy +30, because hes gonna be pretty loving suprised let me tell you what
Ordinary +10 x 2, because he's basically prone sitting in the gunner seat, and im attacking him from higher ground

?

Moola
Aug 16, 2006
Oh ok I didn't know it would take another turn to totally pop the hatch

so I'll probably just shoot that stupid gunner in the face

Alternatively, could I pop a smoke grenade in that small hole??

Moola
Aug 16, 2006
I am probably going to wang in the smoke grenade to just generally cause even more havoc and confusion, then leap ontop of the gunner and wrastle him, while being blinded by smoke

Aug 16, 2006

FirstPersonShitter posted:

I should say at this juncture that it'd be a horrible idea for groin to pop his smoke

agreed

so I'm assuming ive successfully popped off the hinge on the turret hatch, and can now climb inside and wrastle the gunner?

if so, then I am definitely going to pop a smoke first because I am an agent of chaos, soz

also, am I in combat yet and do I need to use a half action to ready my grenade?
