Okay so quick question while I am writing up my CS. I see we have both Personal and GEARS equipment. It sounds like we are going to be pilots but also an infantry squad? Or are we mainly going ot be in our mechs?

This gives me a sad D: Welcome to join back in when you have time though.

Most in GEARs, but there'll be occasions to get out of a GEAR to carry out the last part of an objective; the concept is that we'll be mostly operating with very little or no support, so will have to sometimes get our hand/hooves/paws dirty to get the mission completed. Plus GEARs operate 'close to the ground' as it were, so good to have your infantry skills up to scratch too. Kind of like modern-day tanks crews also have to have their personal weapons etc.

*A murr can be heard in the corner as a certain otter pours over a drone’s innards* I, the great Sprinsteam shall create an army of foot soldiers so adorable they will conquer with mere looks!

*Coughs quietly* what I meant to say was....that’s a pretty fun way to both balance and spice up the combat and roleplay styles. I approve~

but what if Goths? I think they tend to be naturally averse to conventional definitions of 'adorable' but otherwise good idea. Don't forget to make em waterproof and maybe add parachutes in case ground deployments are impractical.

IC will probably go up tomorrow sometime, will be working out how I want it to start in my head first.

Also, in case I didn't drop it in the rules, there's no posting order; just have a bit of common sense and don't spam the threads. I try and get a round of IC posts from everyone, before replying with a post of my own, unless there's something that specifically needs clarity or another post

I like big boom, but sometimes big boom is too much boom. Case in point, that boom caused *puts on glasses to read paper*... A still unknown number of civilian deaths (estimated to be in the tens of millions), devastating shockwaves across the Eastern Mediterranean (and coating it in Tiberium fallout), the premature invasion of galactic space miners (which nearly brought the already vulnerable human race to extinction), yet another evolution of Tiberium which resulted in a much faster rate of expansion/terraforming and becoming resistant or immune to already developed methods of controlling the spread of Tiberium (resulting in nearly 90% of the planet becoming uninhabitable for humans in a little over a decade), and of course the extension of the Third Tiberium War (which eventually lead to the Ascension Conflict, but we do not talk about that one)

So yeah, while big boom can look very cinematic and badass it tends to have very grave consequences. And the only heresy here is those that do not follow the prophet, let they be burned so that the purifying flame may cleanse the unbelievers from the Earth. *Insert Brotherhood of Nod propaganda here*

Ok, now I think adding jetpacks might be a bit much, I mean it seems like with the spikes and all it is going to have a large profile for a 'mini' drone. What about fuel storage? what about amphibious transport that ejects troops with comical man-cannon like circus act?

I took the day off from work, so if anybody gets injured you'll just have to suck it up until I clock back in :U

You're allowed to have your opinion...even if it is terribly wrong and very heretical.

Sorry for the slowness in making a character, I have most of it typed up. I'm just finalizing some of the details. The Combat Engineer position is still open, correct?

Also, what do Arvarans eat for meat? I want to make mention of my character eating a burger and I don't know if they would have cheese and beef and such. I know some series where furries are a thing, they mainly stick to birds and reptiles for meat.

Funnily enough I'm reading a book right now with animal people and they eat super sized bugs for their protein. Like some breeds of Beetle are the size of an Ox.

There was also an incident concerning a Centipede that was so big it could wrap itself around the pipes running along the ceiling of the factory it inhabited and still have plenty of length to dangle down and eat people on the floor.

I can't even stand Centipedes an inch long, so I'm not sure how I'd feel about one the length of a train.

Engineer is still open, yus! All yours for the taking.
And as for meat, I meant to put it in the lore bible, but it might have got missed out; sometimes you have those clear ideas in your head and you're so sure about them, you forget to write them down (or is that just me?)
Either way, the idea I had was that their meat was primarily vat-grown for purposes of consumption, which ties in nicely with the idea that cloned organs and skin for grafts are also available, as it's the same kind of technology. NOT the same meat though, I hasten to point out!!. Soylent Burgers are not people.

It probably is cloned from something like birds or reptiles, just with a few tweaks for things here and there. That means your burger is perfectly fine, too ;)
For cheese or other dairy, they probably use substances like soya milk or other plant milks, again with being 'tweaked' slightly for better or more consistent taste and textures.

@RamjammerBurn it with fire. Mainly for being a man-eater I am cool with most things that are harmless to humans.

@Ramjammer

If there is one thing I learned from Starship Troopers, it is that bugs are communist and we all know it is better to be dead than red so lets nuke the sucker back to whatever hole it crawled out of.

alternatively, if no pure fusion warheads are available, fire works pretty well if you can find something flammable to coat it in.

Oh yeah, sea food is a thing. Cetaceans and seals are the only sapient species, so everything else is pretty much fair game.
Added the info about food into the 'Arvarans' section on the One Note, as I thought I'd put it in there already.

Will try and get IC up today, as yesterday ended up being a no-go for various reasons.

Leslie looks fine, please feel free to post her to the characters' tab ^^ I'll add her details to the OP in the OOC to round out the cast too.

(Given the supposedly hand-picked nature of the unit, whoever Silverwind's boss was, they seemed to be going for Charlie's Angels given by the number of lovely ladies we have, haha)
