[OOC] Omnipocalypse [open]

[TheUnknowable]

I moved the tech to the first post so that we could reference it easily.

[CourierSix]

This thing isn't going todie without the others even posting, right?

[TheUnknowable]

We can just post between the two of us if you want, but I'd like to have at least one other person.

[CourierSix]

I agree. We need more people who have the time to post here at reasonable intervals.

[TheUnknowable]

I'll bump the Interest checks and add it to my signature. Maybe that will help.

[Midori]

Sorry about disappearing there for a bit I had some drama IRL and I couldn't really bring myself to do anything but it's over now so I'll be on much more regularly. Also, I'll get a post in soon after work maybe...

[CourierSix]

Working on a post aw we speak.

[Zerofighter]

interested, is this like a crossover?

[TheUnknowable]

No, just a kind of generic post apocalyptic world. If you want to use an idea from another fictional work, that's fine as long as it fits in.

Got room for a quiet mechanic with a bionic eye and a customised hoverbike?

[TheUnknowable]

sure. Hover tech is a bit erratic in rad zones, though. Also, he'll have to be pretty well off to afford that.

[SimplyJohn]

I was thinking of having it as a standard bike, with wheels as the primary motive power, but he'd also managed to install a salvaged hovercoil so the bike could make long jumps when needed (or when trying to impress a girl.)

Since he'd be a skilled but self-taught mechanic most of his gear would've been custom built from whatever he could find or salvage, and may not always be reliable. Other equipment I was thinking of having him carry would be a long-range scanner capable of detecting power sources and metal, which he'd use to track down useful salvage in the desert, and a magnetic coil 'railgun' which would use nails and other metallic debris for ammunition.

At some point one of his inventions would've literally blown up in his face, requiring him to have his left eye replaced with a cybernetic implant. Exactly where and when this had been done is something he doesn't like to talk about much, but then again he doesn't like to talk about anything very much, apart from technology.

[TheUnknowable]

that would fit in well.

[SimplyJohn]

Hope you don't mind me making Harry slightly racist and referring to T'Lora as a Blueberry. :)

Don't expect my posts to be that long usually, just wanted to give Harry a decent introduction and explain how he came to know who to look for in the bar.

[SimplyJohn]

"High-cap power cells?..." Neptune muttered under his breath. A bit if a high goal to strive for, if he knew anything about power, which he did. He watched the man who spoke up out of the corner of his eye, in case an underhanded trade was in the works here in the bar. It wouldn't be surprising, considering that the bar is where the root of most of Neptune's problems arose.

@CourierSix

Harry: "Nothing to see here officer, everything above board and by the book."
John: "I don't think he's buying it..."
Harry: "I don't want him to buy it, I want the other guy to. Everyone knows sheriffs get lousy pay, he couldn't afford my high-grade gear."

[SimplyJohn]

Just to note, I'll be out of town between next Thursday 30th April and the following Monday 5th of May. Should still have online access though so will probably still be posting during that time if it's applicable.

[Midori]

I've been waiting for CourierSix to post since everyone else has posted. Should we just continue then?

@Midori

sure. He's just watching us right now, anyway.

[SimplyJohn]

Since it's been four days since Harry offered the power cells I reckon CourierSix got ambushed by raiders outside of town and's currently hanging by his feet ready to be butchered somewhere.

We'd better get the party together quick to go look for him!
