Coruscant Sacked: Aftermath

Which other characters would've been either studying or teaching at the Temple within the last 5-10 years, and would their owners be willing to have Som as their colleague, trainee or otherwise known associate?

@SimplyJohn

Around seven years ago Dede would've been taking her second try at the Trials, it's possible she would've run into Som as he prepared for his first attempt, and I'm more than happy to be included in your character history, since I could add you to mine too. :)

Then why does Lucius still exist? You're a shitty hitman.

@Sep

Lucius did die, but then EA decided they wanted him back for the sequel.

And yes, that's a reference to Leliana in Dragon Age, another RP I'm involved with at the moment which I think is still recruiting right now. :D

Harrowmounts Plight

As she heard the word 'evil' things came into focus for Mayumi. Things like good and evil were simple to deal with, sjhe was a good person, and all evil people had to die. "Okay, which of you works for the evil scientist, and who's trying to stop him?" She asked, her bow waving from side to side, the notched arrow sizzling with power.

All she had to do was for the strangers around to answer and her job would be done. Arrows for the bad people, a share of her hunting spoils for the good. It was still quite early and they should still have time to gather some wood for a nice relaxing campfire, as long as the evil people hurried up and identified themselves.

The Broken Drum - Casual drop-in chat for out-of-work adventurers

Without lifting her head Astrape blindly waved her hand back and forth across the bar before finally finding her second tankard of Battery Blitzer. Slowly her fingers crept up the side, taking hold of the sparkling swizzlers and lifting them pout of the acid, electricity rippling over her hand and soaking into her skin as she did. Bringing her hand down, she wriggled it through her hair until she finally found her face.

Sucking hard on the swizzlers, feeling the last of the electrical charge dissipating over her tongue, Astrape quickly bit down on the metal rods, chewing them happily as she slowly began to feel herself again. Once she had finished with her little treat AStrape found the strength she needed to push herself up in her seat, swaying gently as she looked at her fellow patrons, her hair standing out as a tangled mess around her face.

Pretending that everything was normal, and that things like this happened to her everyday, which in a way was true, Astrape reached for her tankard of acid and carefully lifted it to her mouth. Holding the handle steadily, with her pinkie pointing outwards just as her mother had always taught her, the lightning goddess took a careful sip before lowering the mug once more.

The Jaeger Program Rebooted (3 Spots Open - Apply Now!)

How would you feel about Jaegers being given customised weapon payloads? I was thinking of switching out the Dragon's fit a little to maximise the effectiveness of its smaller power core.

Weapons I was considering would be:

S-11 Pulse Launcher:

A stripped down version of the I-19 Plasmacaster. This weapon makes use of Mako Mori's upgrade designs for the Plasmacaster to create a scaled-down, rapidly charging rifle version for use on smaller Jaegers. While not as powerful as the I-19, typically delivering only one third of the hitting power, the S-11 only requires a three second charging period before firing. Its smaller capacitor system is extremely limited, only capable of firing a single shot before being fully discharged and requiring upto 73 seconds before reaching firing potential once more.

WMB-H-118 Harpoon Warhead:

An upgrade to the AKM which replaces the explosive warhead with a pronged spearhead designed to anchor itself within a Kaiju, allowing a small Jaeger to trap the target while larger, more heavily armed units close in for the kill. With a retractable polyduranide cable system the Harpoon can be recovered and reused in the field without requiring return to base for reloading, but due to the space requirements of the cable storage and motor system only one operational device can be attached to a single-pilot Jaeger, fully replacing its standard WMB2x90 package.

WMB3x30-P Anti-Kaiju Plasma Launcher

Lacking the chassis space to fit the full sized WMB2x90, smaller Jaegers were refitted with an upgraded plasma warhead system, allowing for greater long-term damage potential to their targets while using fewer individual delivery systems. Upon impact the warhead begin a cascading plasma reaction, which remains in effect for upto 20 seconds after delivery, causing extensive internal damage. While proven effective against most targets, the WMB3x30-P only uses four launch tubes, typically mounted as pairs either side of the Jaeger's chest, each equipped with three rounds for a total of twelve round per system.

V-PI EnergyCaster

The predecessor to current Plasmacaster technology, the EnergyCaster instead used shock burst of electrical power to overwhelm a Kaiju's nervous system, much in the way a tazer would incapacitate a human, but on a much larger scale. Able to function in five different modulations, each requiring a progressively longer perido in order to fully charge, the EnrgyCaster can incapacitate a target allowing more heavily armed Jaegers time to move in for the kill. Repurposed for use on the newer, smaller single-pilot Jaegers this weapon can act as a highly effective disruptive weapon system.

Gatling Chest

Designed as a cheap and easy solution to longer ranged combat with the Kaiju, the Gatling Chest mounts severeal high calibre cannons in place of the more traditional AKM system, allow for more peresistant, if far less damaging attacks. The Gatling Chest is mianly used for holding actions, where the priority is to delay the target rather than destroy it, such as when evacuation procedures are ongoing, heavier Jaegers are moving into range or targets are required to be captured alive for study and analysis.

Rail Gun

Originally designed for conventional warfare the Rail Gun was quickly repurposed and redesigned to function as part of a Jaeger's arsenal. While potentially capable of delivering grievously crippling blows to its targets at long range, the Rail Gun has very limited ammunition (12 shots for twin-pilot Jaegers, 9 for single-pilot models) and requires absolute stability to achieve a successful hit, making it an unpopular choice amongst most Jaeger designers and pilots.

Wave Laser

While lacking the hitting power of most munition based and plasma weapons the Wave Laser is easily controlled and targeted due to its persistent attack style and long battery life. Capable of being set to a variable range of focuses, from wide wave dispersal to precision cutting beam, the Wave Laser is a highly adaptable battlefield tool, if not the most effective weapon.

Most of these were culled from weapons seen on models of Jaeger other than those shown in the film.

@Genni in their character sheets, I put the nicknames you should call them by XD

@Shadowcatcher

Nicknames are one thing, I was just wondering how they'd actually introduce themselves to the team, for instance Tommie will say something like "Hi, I'm PPDC Ranger Tomiko Fraser, callsign Razor, but you can just call me Tommie."

In Mori's case would it be: "I'm Mako Mori and I'll be your LOCCENT Mission Controller for operations here at the Shatterdome. You may address me as Miss Mori if that makes you comfortable, and Miss Mori even if it doesn't."

You and fallen are going to be like, besties. I can feel it.

@Rtron

Does he have a pet wife as well then?

@Jangel13 condor just calm down and try not to sound like your panicked. just follow birdseeds lead she knows what shes doing.........and in case she doesn't I have your escape plan

"Don't worry, I'm calm enough," Condor replied as she leaned back against the counter and begun to flick through the shop assistant's magazine idly. "Just wanted to make sure you knew that it won't be my fault when she turns up dead." Looking up at one of the security cameras Condor gave it a little wave and a smile.

"I'm holding the front of the shop, and if anything goes wrong..." Condor slipped her hand into the bag hanging from her shoulder, letting her fingers close around her pistol. "...I got it covered."

Can I be paired with whichever character is best at catching arrows with their head? >D
