Silent Line




Welcome to GEARs: Silent Line
GEARs: Silent Line is an RPG set in a far-off time, on a far-off world, where Earth is less-than a legend and 'human' is a term that only exists in language.
The world of Arvara is a different one from our own, inhabited by anthropomorphic animals, who know their origins are not those of natural evolution - but not where they come from.

Their world and society is, for the most part, a peaceful one. But not without it's challenges or dangers, both natural, and of their own making.
Dark things are rising, and danger seems to closing in. Rumours seem to be gaining a disturbing sense of solid, tangible reality. People are going missing. Dangerous or disturbing terrorist incidents, kidnappings, riots, conflicts and attacks are growing in number. And the urban myth of the organisation, cult, or secret society known as the 'Silent Line' seems to be growing in prominence...

Admidst this, in the small, but proud, modern, and respected kingdom of Solernia, a handful of military officers and members of the Royal Council have decided that enough is enough. Despite opposition from others in their own military, they make a proposition to the Princess, and she grants her blessing. A special unit is formed; their goal: to use both direct and indirect methods to hunt down those missing and kidnapped from Solernia, and find out who is behind this rise in dangerous and deadly incidents, find out what they want, and put a stop to them - before the body count rises higher, or before total war erupts...




Players in GEARs: Silent Line act as GEAR pilots of the newly-reconstituted 33rd 'Ghost Hunters' Covert Operations Squadron of the Royal Solernian Defence Force.
Handpicked and equipped with the best GEARs that Solernia can provide, they are sent out into the field to begin a mission that will lead to revelations about the nature of Arvara itself.

Guess this is when I start spending hours trying to figure out a good name whereas I can figure everything else about the character in 40 minutes. Heavy Gunner sounds like it'll be the role for the character I am working on. 'speak softly and carry a big stick'. I always liked having either more dakka or bigger dakka when possible

I'll go ahead and claim the combat engineer spot then. I do like big booms, more so when I'm 'controlling' them.

So, say I wanted the Marksman/Recon slot. I’m more interested in the recon part, personally. Would something like a Gear-sized machete or other blade be viable at all?

Name: Rishun Sprinsteam

Age: 27

Species: Otter



Height:4'10

Weight:97 pounds

Personality:
Bubbly, excitable, and always so full of energy. She is ever curious about new technology and people alike, and will always try to figure both out with such a focused conviction that she tends to lose sight of her original goals.



Hobbies & Interests:
tinkering, fiddling with coding, creating little technological toys that seemed to have a life of their own. But above all else she had a pure joy for swimming at any opportunity. To the point where she wil research the nearest body of water she could swim in if she is given leave.



I apologize for making a post in the character tab. I was on auto pilot while making it.

Since you 'axed' there is a GEAR-sized axe available, and I'm sure it'd be more than possible to custom-make a machete; after all, it's not much of a reach if there's already a knife and an axe - perhaps our friendly combat engineer could oblige you xP
Maybe you could fashion it out of a discarded VTOL rotor blade or something cool like that?

Glad to see everyone picking out roles with no issue, and I'm excited to see what characters you all come up with!

Rishun looks great, and is totally approved. I really like her already, and I can see a lot of personality in her that really reflects what otters come across like too. I also like the nod to your old character with the surname!
I'll add her to the list of character in the 0th post.

@Silverwind Blade Okay, sweet~ Could I tech it up later on, perhaps? I kinda had an image of something a little like Raiden’s high-frequency blade.

Potentially, none of the melee weapons in the setting at GEAR or person scale feature anything like that as yet, but who knows what you might end up encountering as the story progresses

Hey I'm afraid that the One Note link to the lore document is broken. You might want to fix that soon, Id love to learn more about this, if you are still accepting

@Silverwind Blade Well, it only took me getting sidetracked 3 times on this character, better than my usual 5 or 6. I also thought of another question, would modules on the GEAR be easily changed on the battlefield or is it a complicated process that needs a maintenance bay or something? such as in a potential instance where someone would salvage a perfectly working *whatever* from a fallen GEAR, would they be able to attach it then and there?

Totally happy with Fionn, he sounds great, and I can see he and Sean getting along pretty well too. Feel free to post him in the characters tab ^^

Good question on the GEAR issue too! Not something I'd considered, but a good thing to bring up.
I mean, as far as hand-held weapons go, absolutely. It's like picking up someone elses' rifle. Regarding other equipment or weapons, I could imagine it would be possible, but would be less pick-it-up-off-you-go, and more the kind of thing you can do once the battle is done with two GEARs, one to mount it on and one to hold it in place and some simple tools and a few OS options. Hope that answers the question, and seems reasonable!

I know that I said I'd post my CS last night, but I had an RP reply I needed to finish as I'd been dragging my feet on it, and then the sleepies came for me in the night lmao.

It's about 3 quarters finsished though. I can round out the history when I get home tonight. Sorry for the delay and hope you guys like Mountain Goats.
