[OOC] Transcendent: Darkness Rising (A Sci-Fi Roleplay)

[Hawlin]

I would encourage all accepted CSs to be reposted in the 'Characters' section for viewing convenience.

[Hawlin]

Blegh, that all just fell apart. Countless distractions later... ~_~

[Silver Fox]

Awe poor Adi. Kaite's so rude to you *pets*

[Hawlin]

Awh, I'm sorry. Only for now :c Only until Kaite realizes Adi is, for all intensive purposes, harmless. Y'know, just, after being around all of the spontaneous biopsy machines, you start to assume every mailbox wants a tissue sample. Edit: That post could have been a lot better ~_~ If it wasn't 2:30 am, I'd be making it better, but...hrm. I'll edit it as to keep people together for at least one more rotation.

[Hawlin]

There, rudeness midigated and people get to hang around for a bit longer if they want :U Drinking is bad, mmkay?

[Silver Fox]

There, rudeness midigated and people get to hang around for a bit longer if they want :U

@Hawlin

Damn you!!! I just posted! Now I have to reread your post and edit mine! XD Edit: okay, still rude so don't need to change much xD and probably not bad to hang around in case other people pop up

[Mistress Dizzy]

So close to done, but its almost 4am Ded bye

[Hawlin]

Well, now I feel like a jerk. ;T Makes me want to edit bits out, but you already replied so...damn. I guess I'll commit to Kaite's authority complex.

[Silver Fox]

Well, now I feel like a jerk. ;T

@Hawlin

Your not a jerk, Kaite's a jerk xD it's just the part where he wiped his hand right after the handshake reminded me of something like this "Bleck!!! Filthy commoner! Staining my hand!" Is what I think whenever that happens xD even though Adi is a perfectly clean robot since he's supposed to be the ideal human servant. Quite funny xD but Kaite can be as mean as he wants since Adi literally has no choice but to just about follow any order from him since he's a organic and therefore superior. Besides Rayland who outranks him.

[Hawlin]

Still, I hope senpai wasn't watching. I'm sure he wouldn't be impressed. ;>_> The comment was supposed to be something else along the lines of checking his glove to make sure Adi hadn't poked a hole in it during the shake. :/

[Silver Fox]

I did not at all get that impression xD but even so, he still wiped his hand first before checking. Right in front of the person he just shook hands with xD But it's okay, Adi won't tattle on Kaite to senpai

[Hawlin]

But it's okay, Adi won't tattle on Kaite to senpai.

@Silver Fox

Good to know... On an unrelated note, do you think magnets would stick to Adi? No reason, just curious. >_> <_<

@Hawlin

Ummm depends how strong the magnet. Basically his bones are made of metal, but it would have to get through the man made flesh and tissue layers.

Achieng

Name: Achieng, Clan Chima Age: 80 (help me with this?) Gender: Female Race: Watumaji Physical Description: Achi is heavily curved, with dark brown skin, topaz eyes, and short white hair. Her skin is extremely smooth, cool to the touch and slightly wet at all times. She has fingers that are half webbed. Instead of legs, she has a long tailfin. It starts the shade of her skin, but shifts to a brilliant orange-gold. Like most of her race who traverse the galaxy, she wears a sheer bodysuit that covers her from the waist up to the neck and arms. It is made of a material designed to draw moisture from the environment and stay damp to protect the Watumaji's skin. Over that, Achi usually chooses to wear a tunic from her home planet, one that is brightly colored and patterned, as well as jewelry that seems to be made of coral and bone. From the waist down, she is settled in a water tank that is about the size of a personal scooter. The tank rolls smoothly on two treads, and Achi maneuvers it with a small control panel. Personality: Achieng is gentle-hearted and caring, and at first glance would seem an odd choice for the military. However, she has an acceptance of all sorts of beings, human, chimera, android and otherwise, and her position as a soldier's counselor makes sense to those who go to see her. She can hear terrible things, stories of war and blood, pain and grief, and take them in without judgement or reproach. She listens, and she comforts, and only offers advice when it is asked of her; sometimes people simply want to be heard, not corrected. Outside of her role on the ship, she is friendly to others and usually quiet. The only time she would show any fierceness is if she was in personal danger, or someone was harming another person in front of her. Enhancements: None Skills: Diplomat- Achieng is an excellent speaker and can smooth talk with the best of them. If there was a mission that involved making peace instead of war, she would be a good candidate to take along. Swimming- While she is inhibited by her tank on land, in an aquatic environment, she is far more at home. Achi is a swift and graceful swimmer. Vocals- Like all of her people, Achieng can speak, but can also sing in what her race calls wimbo-kusema. The closest comparison would be whalesong, but a Watumaji's is much more powerful and loud. Some of the tones range below what many beings can detect, and some range far above. Achieng has a natural talent for it, and can be extremely loud to the point of causing damage if she had to be. Equipment: Water suit- Absorbs moisture from the environment to keep her skin wet and cool. Travel tank- Contains space for her to rest, and water for her to rest in while she's on land. Moves on two treads and has a small hand control. Vocal mask- Achieng has a tech mask that fits over her mouth that can be used to direct her already powerful singing into something that could be weapons-grade lethal. Fishing knife- While she can only do so underwater, Achi is well trained in the use of a knife made to hunt fish. She calls it a knife, but it's half the length of her arm and hooked at the end. (Like that, but longer.) Bio: Achieng traveled with her parents around the planet, her mother being a singer that would visit great cities and small towns alike. Her mother's voice was said to be heard even by those whose souls had joined the Sea, and so she was requested at many dignitaries funerals. Unfortunately, Achi's mother became ill and never recovered. She died when Achi was still a child. Her distraught father took her to the home of her aunt, promising to return for her soon. He never did. Young Achi grew up isolated. She was shunned by the townspeople, and shamed by her aunt. Her aunt considered her a freeloader, and her own past jealous of Achi's successful and well-loved mother came out on Achi herself. Her uncle did nothing to stop his wife's poor treatment of their niece. Achi's only solace was in her cousin, who ignored his mother's opinions and treated her as a sister. The two grew up close, and he was Achi's savior.  Unfortunately, her aunt was not much kinder to her own son, and as soon as her cousin became of age, he pledged (married) to someone and moved far away from home. While he did offer to take Achi with him, she declined. Left on her own, Achi honed her singing in secret, growing more controlled and powerful by the turn of each tide. She also did everything she could to earn money, trading, bartering, and singing for pay. The day came when she too, became of age, and she wasted no time in gathering her meager possessions and leaving. After bartering for passage on an off-planet ship, she made her way through schooling and was soon assigned to a military vessel.

So done with this thing... Someone please help me? I don't have a gauge of measurement, so I picked an age for Achieng that seemed young.

[Silver Fox]

Just put something like Adi age: 3 years old. (looks eighteen/eighteen in the races years)

@Mistress Dizzy

Well first off, whats the lifespan of a Watumaji? If they can live for say centuries, you would expect the body to age slowly or at least up to a certain point of their overall lifespan.

[Mistress Dizzy]

That would be the part that I don't know how to do. The numbers are meaningless to me, I just don't understand them.

[Hawlin]

Kaite's question was directed towards Riblou since he would be too big for standard cryopods. I guess the question could go that way, too.

[agentmanatee]

No I'll answer it shortly

[Silver Fox]

Kaite's question was directed towards Riblou since he would be too big for standard cryopods. I guess the question could go that way, too.

@Hawlin

I'll edit.
