@Aeonumbra Of course it's not your Dust. It wasn't intended to be.
You relinquished the control you had of Dust when you not only left the RP and handed over authority of it to Darcs and myself, you completely and utterly lost any authority you had when you came back with the intention of playing, but not GM-ing because, and then left the RP entirely to, quote:
Anyways. To all the Dust players, I leave the management of this version of Dust to Darcs and Mono. I'm off to a different horizon. Make sure to thank your lovely game managers for sticking around and running this project, otherwise it would no longer be running.
Anyways, off to other things.
Always Lurking. -Aeon
You have no control over Dust in this thread, and we have no obligation to do what you want. This RP is not yours to commandeer and end, your word has no authority beyond advice in this thread, and we'll do what we like.
That being said, I'm afraid I must admit that Dust has more or less... bitten the dust. If anybody wants to suddenly pop up and defibrillate this thread and make it a living RP once more I'll jump for joy, but as it stands I must apologize for not being able to keep the interest going.
Adéla wears the dilatant armored base of her armor fairly often, though just as commonly she walks around fully armored or clad in simple daytime clothing without much in the way of protective value. Her eyes are a deep crimson and she wears a faint hint of similarly colored eyeliner to compliment them. Her body is well toned and muscle is evident througought and gives the impression of power, which shows through in the way she strides briskly when she walks.
Age: 76
Race: Chaos Scarred Human
Personality: Classified.
WIP
Reason for recruitment: Money mainly, perhaps a chance to get revenge on her former “Friends”.
Strength of Will: Potent
Magic: (General categorizes of magic the character is good at, specific spells, and where the magic comes from)
God relations: None. Who needs a god when technology is just as good?
Carapace Model 40 Modular Graphene Armor System - Graphene, the wonder material that never stops giving. This armor is composed of several interlocking 8mm thick plates of graphene composed of almost eight million layers of the material bound with sealing agents and other structural integrity boosting additions - shockingly strong for their size. The armor incorporates a shear-thickening dilatant base and self-repairing nanotube weave over which the nigh indestructible plates are placed. Underneath this base is a gel padding designed to negate as much energy transfer as possible from a hit on the armor, minimizing damage to the wearer. The armor is incredibly protective and augments her skill at resisting incredible damage.
Machina Model 52 Nanoblade - A brutal weapon roughly a meter in overall length, with about 30 centimeters devoted to the handle and its components. The nanoblade operates on a principle far different from a typical vibroblade - instead of microvibrations increasing cutting power, the cutting edge of the weapon is in fact moving back and forth at the molecular level. The weapon will shear through most materials with enough force behind it. And if the power pack somehow runs out it can still be used as a good old fashioned sharp stick - albeit infinitely more complex than a regular steel sword.
Mars IV Pattern Railgun Revolver - Savagery in the palm of your hand! The Mars IV is what some might call overkill, and others might call a broken wrist. Designed with relatively compact rugged firepower in mind, the Mars IV answers the call. Eight shots of pure carnage and a kick like a mule. The weapon operates using a standard railgun principle, using the Lorentz force to accelerate a projectile to incredible speeds. Unlike many energy based weapons in this era, the weapon does not have an internal power pack, and gains its fearsome raw power and kick from its used of self contained capacitor-projectile charges. 10mm in diameter, these charges provide one shot per projectile, and consequentially an increase in energy delivered to the target that can be at times measured in orders of magnitude. The weapon is reloaded by breaking open the action and inserting the self contained eight shot capacitor-projectile revolving “magazine”. Excess energy from the shot is also used to cycle the next round and to activate kinetic dampeners to prevent the weapon’s recoil from tearing its user’s arm off. Capable of firing several varieties of rounds from standard anti-personell tungsten slugs to fragmenting “Carnage” rounds to electromagnetically charged capacitor shots designed to damage or disable powered armor and similar systems.
Mars XII Pattern Hybrid Plasma Rail Rifle - The Mars XII Pattern is an interesting hybrid of plasma and rail weapon merged into a rugged and heavy duty frame to form a reliable and terrifying all-purpose battle rifle. Operating on a modified version of the railgun mechanism, the weapon still uses the Lorentz force to propel a projectile along magnetically conductive rails at extreme velocities. Where the Mars XII differs from the norm is in its use of a hybrid superheated liquid metal projectile and superheated plasma to deliver a one-two kinetic/directed energy punch. The weapon operates by arcing a powerful volt of electricity through an aluminum slug and various inert gases surrounding it, melting the aluminum and actually vaporizing a small portion of it, as well as superheating the gases and converting them into electrically conductive plasmas. Things proceed relatively normally from there, as the weapon as the weapon contains the projectile via electromagnetism and then uses the Lorentz force to accelerate the plasma/molten metal projectile along a pre-ionized flight path (pre-ionized by a laser fired nanoseconds before the projectile leaves the weapon. Without it the plasma would conflict with the atmosphere and essentially turn the weapon into a suicidal flamethrower.) to its intended target. The weapon is notorious for being able to punch straight through armors designed to halt kinetic weaponry or plasma weaponry, and delivering the devastating twin effects to the squishy bits inside.
Nanobionic Strength and Enduance Enhancements - We can make her faster, stronger, better, we have the technology. Except this technology leaves few if any traces visible to the naked eye. Muscles are enhanced by the presence of nanites which work themselves into the myofibral tissue, working with the body and boosting strength enormously as well as drastically increasing the ability of the muscles to function at high intensity for long durations of time, a vital ability in combat. The nanites are also capable of actual physical modification of the muscle itself with nanotube augmentation of the myofibrils and sacromeres themselves, and modifying the tissue to supply the augmentations with the proper energy to operate. The end result is muscle tissue capable of feats of superhuman strength for superhuman durations of time. It also enables her to easily fire the Mars IV Revolver. Unfortunately as with all augmentation, metabolism skyrockets and the user must consume far more food.
Nanobionic Regeneration - You don’t need to be made better, faster, and stronger if your body is capable of bringing itself back from the brink of total annihilation with no outside assistance. While total reconstruction is energy intensive and lengthy, it is possible. But the nanobionic regeneration nanites’ main purpose is not to salvage someone from the brink of death, their purpose is mainly to heal more minor injuries on the battlefield, such as lacerations, gashes, and other flesh wounds. Even some gunshot wounds can be relatively quickly healed compared to recovery without, though those still take considerably longer. The regenerative nanites work by, as well as stimulating fibrin production and platelet relocation, actively aiding in the healing of various injuries. They’re even capable of independantly diagnosing internal bleeding and working quickly to repair damage to prevent situations from going critical.
Smartphone - Because even when wading through the blood of your foes, sometimes you want to take a break and look at funny pictures when there’s no Wi-Fi around.
Laptop - A laptop. Not as slim as the laptops others might carry around, this laptop is far bulkier, but also far tougher and packs just a bit of excessive computing power.
Possessions/items/property: Very little. All she had acquired when she worked for the Stygian Blade was lost in the months it took for her to simply walk away from the field of battle.
Skills:
Combat Marksmanship - Adéla may not be a laser precise instrument of long range death, but she can reliably hit her targets in the heat of battle with plasma and lasers whizzing overhead.
Endurance - Where part of the “Revenant” aspect comes in, Adéla can endure incredible punishment before going down.
Engineer - While Adéla lacks impressive hacking skills she more than makes up for it with her skill at modifying the physical world. All of her weapons have been refined and tweaked by hand and she is quite capable of learning the internal workings of something on the fly.
Intelligence - Adéla may be a frontline armored heavy, but she also sports a razor keen mind.
Manipulative - Adéla didn’t get to where she got in the Stygian Blade through pure merit, just as much backroom intimidation and backstabbing went on to elevate her to a lofty position within. Almost high enough to find out what she wanted.
Heavyweight - She can drink a lot.
Misc: (Anything else the character sheet doesn’t seem to include that you think is important to the character)
Appearance: She stands at 180cm or 5’ 11” and sports a heavy frame accustomed to life on the battlefield or simply physical exertion in general. Short raven black hair is pulled tightly into a mid length ponytail, hidden under a pristine scarlet beret. Her hardened hazel eyes are hidden under a pair of mirrored aviators. Whipcord hard muscles coil tightly under skin marred by a life of fighting and physical action. Her facial features are typical for a Kurdish woman, but have an unusual hard edge to them that seems to be tempered with a softer rounding in some areas. She has strapped to her thigh inside her pants a large fighting knife. She tends to dress in a manner that belies her wealth, sticking to practical clothing such as cargo pants and a simple non sleeved shirt, usually form fitting and black.
Full Name Azade “Damn the Torpedoes!” Nahai. Also known by her former callsign Juggernaut.
Age 24
Sex Female
Sexuality Pansexual
Characteristics Azade is clearly an extremely intelligent individual, able to formulate plans of action on the fly to adapt to any situation as well as perform advanced mathematics in her head and has the entire contents of MCDP 1.3 memorized. She has a confident demeanor that more than explains her history of bold actions- albeit successful ones. She's definitely approachable, but not what one might term amiable, with a past full of violence leaving its mark.
She speaks in a forceful and direct manner, used to shouting over the din of combat and arguments over where to eat, which is louder is still up for debate. While she might have been an officer in the military she’s not overbearing.
Intelligent and confident, Azade could've been an engineer or a scientist, maybe even a doctor. Born outside the United States in Israel to Kurdish parents, she was brought into the country at the age of fourteen. She grew like most any other child, though she never quite lost her accent. Sucessful in school, her life had been on track to receive a degree in mechanical engineering- one which took a sudden turn as Israel came under concerted attack from its neighboring countries once more. Azade wasted no time in abandoning her university career and enlisting in the USMC, quickly rising the the position of 1st Lieutenant and commanding the unit she was assigned with courage that earned her several commendations.
Her most notable achievement in the USMC was also the one that lead to her medical discharge- comandeering a tank and leading a suicide charge that somehow managed to break the enemy line. Maybe it was the tank thundering towards them, maybe it was the woman in the tank screaming bloody murder, or maybe it was simply the sudden volume of fire, but the enemy line retreated. 1st Lieutenant Azade Nahai was seriously wounded in the action and had to be medevaced for internal bleeding and shock.
She received an honorable discharge for medical reasons on her twenty first birthday.
Bitter over her injuries, Azade nonetheless managed a rapid recovery despite her doctor's hesitance about her ever being in fighting condition again. Scraping together some money to leave the state she lived in, she made for the Southeastern Seaboard, landing there with some fascinating stories to tell and not a lot else.
Azade drifted about afterwards, managing to stay afloat doing odd jobs and taking vacations in the wilderness, honing her survival skills until they were razor edged. She even found a significant other during this point in her life, spending much of her time with her new girlfriend and at one point even traveling with her on volunteer work in South America. Returning to her new home after four months with a new outlook on some things, Azade went to work with a new vigor.
At one point this landed her a television show of her own, wherein she was dropped with almost nothing but her clothes, a backpack, and a small tool of some sort into various hostile conditions such as the Amazon rainforest or the Atacama desert, with an emphasis on how to survive with minimal supplies in an SHTF scenario. The show (When Stuff Hits The Fan) ran for two years and four whole seasons, and raised her to, if not fame, at least public awareness. Using the money she gained from the series, she attended university and earned a degree in environmental science. Around this same time she and her girlfriend separated on good terms, albeit still strained.
She wasn’t too fond of fame, and only spoke on things she considered vitally important to society. This somehow landed her even more fame, despite only being some woman who’d had a survival TV show, and she was eventually approached with an offer of a second gig, which she accepted. At this time she was branching into other things, and saw the television gig as merely a way to make money, instead beginning to turn her attention to writing and finally taking the time to relax.
She also became a big gamer.
The series she had been approached to star in, known as Carbon Footprint, was part survival series, part multi-episode documentary on human environmental impact and the best ways to balance it. It was still in the works when the apocalypse struck, and Azade herself was on a connecting flight, intending to then fly to Atlanta for business reasons. She as usual had disdained notions of what someone with money would dress like, instead opting for similar garb to what she might've worn on an episode of WSHTF.
Skills & Abilities
Strength - Azade is strong, a lifetime of military training and experience tempering her physique in the fires of combat. There’s strong, then there’s Army strong, and then there’s USMC strong.
Pride - A weakness of hers, Azade is proud and reluctant to admit defeat or that someone else might be right while she is wrong. While she’s perfectly capable of realizing somebody might know about something more than she does, it pains her to do so and she tends to subconciously resent that person, at least until they’ve proven they genuinely know their stuff, even then resentment may linger.
Survival Skills- Azade has recieved actual training in how to survive in the wilderness. She then honed these skills in various parts of the world, albeit on camera. She has survived being dropped into the Amazon rainforest with nothing but the clothes on her back, a backpack, a small knife, and a camera crew.
Military Experience- Azade has recieved training in the USMC in hand to hand combat using a variety of tools, including her hands, as well as actual hand to hand engagements honing her skills further.
Honey, I burned down the kitchen - Azade can’t cook. At all. She can however, eat almost anything.
Damn the Torpedoes! - Azade is not averse to seemingly reckless attacks and other actions, and this can either succeed spectacularly or fail specactularly.
TV Star - Azade is a celebrity, and well known throughout the western world, especially among upper-middle class people. Whether this is a good or bad thing depends on present company.
