@xGoblinKingx
Here's some specialties to give people an idea of what you should look for. A specialty can't be vague and all encompassing so here are two examples of fields you might want to have a foot in but are too vague to be specialties on their own.

Like if you wanted to specialize in-
Medical Science
you could go with


1. Psychology
2. Neurology
3. Physician (You know about the human body in general, which bones are hurting etc but nothing specific)
4. Toxicology(Overlaps with “Poisoning” but you'll be less deadly and you'll more often have the antidote than the poison)

or if you wanted a specialty dealing with-
Assassination
you'd probably go with-


1. Sniping
2. Martial Arts(Hand to Hand or Armed(specify weapon))
3. Stealth
4. Poisoning(Can overlay with toxicology)


If "Infiltration" really is a compound skill(meaning it has many different skills in it such as CQC) than it would fall under the category of the two above.

Infiltration/Espionage


1. Stealth (Hiding)
2. Acting (For hiding in plain site)
3. Martial Arts(Hand to Hand or Armed(specify weapon))
4. Acrobatics/Free running(to get around)

Does this make sense?

Im not sure I follow o.o which two above are you referring to? I can better explain his infiltration sills if youd like but Im not 100 percent sure I know what you want.

@xGoblinKingx Let me simplify, skills with a bunch of other skills in them aren't allowed as a specialty. You can't have QCQ as part of your specialty, it's a seperate skill and you can only have one skill as your specialty.

Skills that are a composite of other skills like the ones I listed in the quote above (Medical Science and Assassination) are too vague you see, many they cover too many other skills to be a single specialty.

Medical Science


1. Psychology
2. Neurology
3. Physician (You know about the human body in general, which bones are hurting etc but nothing specific)
4. Toxicology(Overlaps with “Poisoning” but you'll be less deadly and you'll more often have the antidote than the poison)

Assassination


1. Sniping
2. Martial Arts(Hand to Hand or Armed(specify weapon))
3. Stealth
4. Poisoning(Can overlay with toxicology)


In that same way, Infiltration, since you say it involves not just stealth but also close quarters combat( not to mention everything else that could be considered part of "infiltration") it also has a...skill tree I guess? Skills that fall under it but aren't vague enough to be a bunch of other skills.....

Infiltration/Espionage


1. Stealth (Hiding)
2. Acting (For hiding in plain site)
3. Martial Arts(Hand to Hand or Armed(specify weapon))
4. Acrobatics/Free running(to get around)


Is that making any more sense or have I just gotten more confusing?

EDIT: Just saw that you changed it! Sorry! But I just wanted you to not include CQC in your Specialty since that would be two skills and you can only have one. You can keep your old description, you just can't have CQC in there, that would be listed as "other"

Already made my edits. Also I noticed the name of the ship was subject to change, what about The Pantheon? It's like the throne room for the gods.


Forgot to mention but yes, this is an incredible idea! This was originally called Agents of Triton with everyone's Code names being something to do with water but that naming system felt unorganized so I went with Agents of Olympus so we could all have cooler sounding names.

So yes, Pantheon!! Pantheon is perfect!!

Yeah I just ended up more confused, I feel like whether or not cqc is in his specialty or not it's still something he is adept in, my in character posts will likely be the same regardless of where his close quarters combat skills are in his character sheet

@xGoblinKingx
It matters because "good at" and "exceptional" are two different things.

Let me explain-
If you fight an NPC who excels at martial arts, they may very well beat you in the same way that if I fight someone who excels in stealth, I won't be able to keep up with them (Spoiler:That happens on a mission)

It's like The Thing and The Hulk.

The Thing can smash cars, break through buildings and is pretty invulnerable. The Hulk does the same thing. On the outside, they seem like equals just looking at their actions but when they face off it becomes different because while The Thing is pretty strong, The Hulk is infinitely strong (literally).

In that same way, you're pretty good at fighting but you're not the greatest at fighting and that'll be a factor when facing other opponents and the like. Your skill set decides what hits make contact, how successful you are in your endeavours.

The point of the game is to make decisions; what skill to focus on, what path to take, and working with what you have, that's why you can fail missions why making a wrong decision is an option. Every problem can't be solved in the same way by the same people so yes, while it doesn't matter against NPC's in your control and other fodder that doesn't fight back, your posts will definitely be different from usual when facing off against NPC's that have PvP rules turned on.

I am planning on being the guys who is super fast and works with that

I wouldn't, speed doesn't work here like it does in the comics. You can if you want, just keep in mind that while speed is great for chases, it doesn't quite hold up like you'd think it would in other occasions.

@twannyman

//points to the strength chart in the OP...

Than posts it anyway cause I'm cool like that, Holla!!...I'm sorry...

Here's the level of strength of each purity
1)500 Kilograms (1072.54891 pounds, the most a human has ever lifted)(No side effects)
2)650 Kilograms
3)800 Kilograms
4)1050 Kilograms
5)1260 Kilograms (1.36 metric tons)
6)1389 Kilograms
7)2000 Kilograms
8)2500 Kilograms(Cell deterioration after more than a few times a day)
9)2890 Kilograms
10)3900 Kilograms(Risking death with each use)

Remember that the higher you go, the less stable you are. Also remember that your suits have a Stream stabilizer in them so we can use ours more often than normals but it's still pretty dangerous.

Codename: Agent Ares

Real Name: Allan Spencer

Appearance: A stocky, highly muscular man with the looks of someone used to the battlefield, with scars criss-crossing his tanned arms and a particularly noticeable patch on his face from a burn, he is quite frightening to look at of first glance. He has black stubble on his face and a military-style buzz cut on the top of his head. His facial expressions are hard to read, but he has warm brown eyes that show that he may be a little kinder than he lets on.

Skills
•Specialty: Tactics – Agent Ares is skilled at manipulating the situation on the battlefield to his advantage in the heat of the moment, allowing him to claim effective strategic positions during operations and use them well.

•Others: Shotguns – Ares is skilled in using shotguns at close quarters to hold off large groups of enemies

Distraction – Ares is able to draw attention on the battlefield away from his more stealthy and offensive comrades

Card Games – Ares is incredibly good at almost any card game you could name, especially poker.

Stream-

•Manifestation: Force Field, enhanced strength
He can create a force field in from of his body that is capable of stopping most physical blows such as kicks and punches, as well as bullet fire and small explosives. The enhanced strength given by his stream allows his body to withstand the force as it is dissipated by the force field.

•Purity: Force field (5) Strength (1)

Equipment-
•Armor: Slightly bulkier than standard issue armour, slows for better protection but slower movement.
•Weapons: Shotgun, flash grenades & standard issue knife
•Other: None

Personality: While he is a powerful, skilled adversary in battle who doesn’t hesitate to take down his opponents, outside combat he is a warm, caring man who looks after his teammates, despite trying to seem stoic and serious. When one of his teammates is injured, he will frequently lose sleep over their condition, and blame himself for not protecting them. During combat, he acts to keep his teammates calm, and is a comforting influence for others when they are in danger, maintaining a rational, cool head in a bad situation.

History: Ares is a hardened combat veteran, who was a rookie member of a unit during the last couple of years of the war. He prefers not to speak about the time he spent on the battlefield, but it is known that he was the only one from his unit to make it out alive. His official kill count is unknown, but it is thought to be fairly high. His actions lead to him being wracked with guilt over the people he killed, and he searched for a way to make up for what he’d done. He grew apart from the friends he'd had on Earth, and went willingly to Dallha during the relocation.

On Dallha, he tried to find a way to feel whole again, trying to help others to adjust to the planet and helping to keep any wanderers in their designated zones, hoping to make up for his actions by stopping more deaths. His efforts to help the people in adjusting to the planet and military skill were noticed by Olympus, who contacted him with the opportunity to be an agent. He gladly accepted, hoping that he could stop anyone else from ending up the same way as him.

@LasreverMars is Roman, you mean Ares.

Also, a stream purity of five is strong enough to withstand bullet fire easily. Might even be able to take on a rocket.

Otherwise, good job, on mobile right now (and really bored) so I might have missed something but good job.
