As in, I'm not even sure why our team went to Hamarr, whether we're picking something up or dropping things off, or where the mercs are off to now that they're "off-duty".

Or the general layout of the ship they're on... Isn't it just a big open deck on a mag-lev?

*Shrugs*

Hopefully I'll figure it out before I anger any gazeboes.

And so, I post the first player-made Screamer, Zenovia.

@Rekaigan

I'm starting to think that Chartose is most definitely going to be walking into a trap.

Marlene Abdelkadar

Name: Marlene Abdelkadar
Age: 19
Gender: Female

Disposition: Sly, intolerably persistent, very emotionally invested and motivated.

Background: Hailing from war-torn USK/PU borderlands, unlike Leclerc, her unit was issued with second-hand FRAMES after the PU was already well-equipped to deal with the threat. Constant supply-problems and frequent breakdowns from skating across sand-dunes meant her squad operated under-strength in guerilla-warfare, often the pilots functioned as light infantry while the few remaining FRAMES provided much-needed fire-support to their guerrilla campaign.

On more than one occasion, civilian-FRAMES were pressed into service either just to keep a few more frames running, or retained simply because their smaller size was better suited to the sort of operations they conducted.

When the war ended, their independence secured, there was a massive draw-down and disarmament of their forces as USK focused its resources on rebuilding and caring for their people, an act that quickly highlighted the difference between the PU and USK. Marlene's unit was one of the first to be scrapped, handing in many of their converted FRAMES for economic development, while nearly all their best FRAMES ended up being conglomerated into a single centralized unit.

Angered by her new vestigial purpose in the military, sitting behind a desk, she quit and purchased a surplus FRAME and hit the mercenary-market.

Appearance

Inventory:
-AKSN-75U "Tanker's Krinkov" with infra-red scope and IR laser-sight/illuminator plus a 75 round drum because if she gets into a firefight out of her FRAME, it won't last long enough for her to get a chance to reload.

@Foster Sorry! I assumed when I read the above. I'll edit unless you say otherwise.

@Exit

You're fine.

The Walking Dead: To Greener Pastures

Lengthy post. Sorry! Had to do a little intro for every character from a different perspective and put some things into play... temporary creative freedom to drive plot and all.

Bare with it and try to enjoy. Let me know if I missed some grammatical errors.

@Exit

Except Taggart didn't make it to the safehouse yet, well, maybe he has... with a sick child.

140 frame limit - 85 frame - 47 Armament/Extra = 8w reserve (82% of max capacity)
600k Starting balance - 221.59k Frame - 66.2k Armament/Extra = 312,210c

Odd Note: despite using weapons that did not exist in the original application, ending-balance was nearly identical.

My god forster, yourrr being uppurty as usual.

I'm being pestered to post in a few 1x1s and a tac-team RP at the moment

@Windicator
The C3 is used to put all the data together, not to transmit it.

The C3 Imaging Unit receives everything that everyone in the unit is seeing, regardless of whether or not they have the C3, and then puts it together in the mech units that have the C3. You don't have to have the C3 to send the information.

It's like the thing that lets someone write a map. EVERYONE doesn't need to write a map- a couple people, maybe, but everyone else can, by default, yell out their shtuff and the one or three people that DO know how to write the map can do it.

@WilsonTurner

Secondary benefit: Being able to relay ALL data between ALL similarly equipped (C3 upgraded) FRAMES much faster

edit:

Well, they can submit and share non-audiable map-plans without having to describe one rock different from another and hope the one guy with a map doesn't screw it up, which IRL came super-handy with M1A2 Abrams-crews when they realized their enemy was listening-in and somehow got a hold of their encryption-keys.
(OPFOR in a mil-ex is usually a dirty rotten cheating bastard by default)

Personally I'd just mount a big scope-mount, or a ground surveillance radar (active, detects motion, can potentially ID a target by how it moves), or a seismic detector (passive, same, requires everyone to stop moving).

@FallenTrinity Sure, feel free to run into the guy wearing a communist-greatcoat and lugging a Mosin Nagant with a small child clinging to his back.

Likely to replace the BM-21 Grad tubes with the mortar-system, and jiggle around with the autocannons and heavy machine-guns.

Oh, and maybe some aftermarket ECM/Chameleon systems.

The bio is otherwise good, right?
