The explosives are really harmless. If it gets detonated while you hold one, the max that it will cause its probably small bruises... nothing serious.

@13org

In that case Anya might want to replace the explosive with a thermite charge instead. Explosive would shatter the device, but may leave some components intact, while a thermite charge would melt the device, transforming it into a molten lump of slag metal which would be worthless to anyone wanting to salvage the tech.

Plus it'd be a little more discouraging to anyone attempting to tamper with one of them.

About the hum, I was thinking in making it audible... but what are your thoughts on the ThirdEye as it is right now?

I'd advise against making the hum too audible, since as it is Anya could plant the device on a vehicle or even a person without them noticing too easily. This could then be used to 'map' an area as the target moved through it, especially if she tagged a security guard or sentry working a patrol route.

All in all, its range is what will dictate if its too strong or too weak. What do you think?

From the way I'm reading the description of her perception augmentation, it sounds similar to Hinata Hyuga's genetic ability Byakugan in Naruto, where she has a full awareness of everything around her but with the additional option of focusing her senses in order to extend the range of her ability upto 10km in a certain direction. By using the ThirdEyes Anya does something similar, but unlike Hinata, who could just stand on top of a building scanning everything for 10km around her, Anya would have to find some way to deploy her devices to a location before detecting what was there.

This raises a couple of questions for me.

• Does a ThirdEye need to be manually activated by pulling the pin, or could it be activated from a remote location after it had been placed somewhere earlier?
• Can the ThirdEye be fired from her rifle, allowing Anya to deploy them at a considerable distance? If deployed in this manner, would the pin be removed as the device was fired, or could it be activated after reaching its target (or somehow being intercepted)?

If they can be deployed in this way, Anya would take on similar skills to Saito, the sniper from Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, whose cybernetic targeting eye is able to be linked to satellite systems giving him 'perfect' aiming capabilities. Unless the feed is hacked and the target knows he's aiming at them, allowing them to avoid his shots as he makes them (as seen in the first season's second episode Bōsō no Shōmei TESTATION.)

The Treasure of Emily Gray

Dae Sikil

Name: Dae Sikil
Race: Erkani
Age: Early 20s (?)
Sex: Female (?)
Occupation: Facilitator
Appearance:

Dae Sikil - Natural Appearance

As with others of her race Dae's natural appearance is jet black with few discernable features. Standing at 5'5" Dae's slightly shorter than the average Erkani, but she makes up for this with the fluidity of her transformations, often forming additional appendages, such as a tail, tentacles and spinal plates, even in a resting state.

Dae Sikil - Most commonly assumed form, when dealing with humanoids

While keeping her natural 5'5" stature in most cases, the rest of Dae's appearance is strikingly different from her natural form, with pale skin and pure white hair. Herclothing tends to be black, and is actually merely the transformed version of her own skin. She carries a variety of swords, daggers and other slicing or stabbing weapons, which again are just protrusions of her own body shaped into familiar forms for other races to disregard out of hand while keeping Dae armned and ready for action, should it be required.

History:

Dae tends to be extremely tight lipped about 'her' past, as do many other members of her enigmatic, shapeshifting race. 'She' claims to be in her early twenties, but at times makes offhand comments and refers to cultural keystones from a far older time. Whether this shows a deeper knowledge of the galaxy than 'she' likes to let on, or shows 'her' personal history to be something far more involved than 'she' lets people know is just another mystery about the strange alien and 'her' true motives.

Personality:

A twisted puzzle with many facets, Dae has the ability to switch moods on a dime in order to gain the best advantage in any given situation. Sometimes flirty and funloving, and other times cold and direct, the onyx enigma rarely lets those around know 'her' true feelings or motivations until the outcome of a situation is certain.

Allegiance:

Herself. Dae's allegiances are fluid and she shows no real loyalty to anyone other than her own unknown agenda. Having said that she has shown a preferance for groups in favour of exploration and expansion, no matter the methods they may use to pursue those ends.

Personal Effects:

Dae carries few possessions with her, preferring instead to procure whatever she needs as requirement appears. The blades and knives carried on her person are actual just extensions of her own body, formed into shapes which can easily be used as weapons.

Other:

As a shapeshifting Erkani Dae's gender is fluid, although 'she' seems to prefer a female form in most situations.

'Ship'

Ship Manufacturer: Erkani Synthetic Labs
Ship Designation: 'Ship'
Ship Class: Personal Transport
Ship Size: Variable, standard 12m
Ship Crew/Personnel: Variable, usually solo
Ship Armament: Adaptive energy emitters
Ship Technologies: Erkani adaptive hull and engine systems
Ship Appearance: Variable, standard featureless spherical
Other: Similar to the Erkani's own shapeshifting nature, their space vessel technology is highly adaptive and although the 'standard' appearance of their ships is a featureless sphere they can be reconfigured into virtually any shape to suit the crew's needs.

The internal systems are also adaptive, with components being shifted between roles depending on the situation. This can allow Erkani vessels to fly faster, withstand more damage and have more powerful weapons than other races, but always at the expense of other features as power and components within the craft are transferred to whichever system requires them the most at any given time.

(aka, if someone gets their hands in one of those and reverse engineer it) they can replicate it as well.

@13org

Without getting their hands blown off when the thing goes BOOM! you mean?

Considering making the low hum audible to everyone if one pays enough attention, so the device is easier to find (well... they'll know that its something strange the second they see it... lol)

@13org

Hiding it in something like a light fixture, which also generates a low level hum, should not only minimise the risk of it being heard but would also make it more difficult for someone to accidentally find.

[Reboot] Ｔｅｒｒａ ＿ ｒ：Ｅｖｏｌｕｔｉｏｎ

The Third Eye is also equipped with a micro explosive, to destroy the device if anything goes wrong, or when the user completes its mission.

@13org

Is the Third Eye a unique item which would be lost if Anya ever has to use the microexplosive; something which she could replicate easily enough with sufficient raw materials; or something which would be available to anyone with similar contacts as Anya?

To an observer, a rotting dude waking up from a four-hundred year dirt nap would very well resemble a zombie, save for rot-touched retaining their humanity and not having to be decapitated to die.

@World of Terra

Are there any 'feral' rot-touched, who've lost their rational thought and wander the wastes looking for undamaged copies of 50 Shade of Grey and Lifeless? :D

All the goblins..?

Gracie, the Goblin Guardian

<Snipped quote>
Greenskin culture: Unfortunately, the answer for all of your questions is "It depends".

Technology: Excellent question. Aside from the use of ancient technology, we are in the iron age... Everybody but the wealthy have things only as nice as they are personally capable of crafting... There are broken robots walking around that were made in the first and second ages, as well as other working technological relics scattered about...

Radiation: Depends where you are, who you are, and what the plot calls for.

Greenskin appearance: The least hideous and deformed of them look like green people with slightly pronounced fangs/tusks.

@World of Terra

So a character who is a goblin girl that grew up in a small isolated community of Greenskins located in a region of high radiation, which only her people can survive in comfortably (albeit with the odd malformed birth or unexpected tentacle appearing overnight) and who spends her time salvaging 'shinies' and 'glowies' from old world ruins to build steampunk devices which may or may not blow up in her face... would that be possible?

Goblin Gadgeteer

To be clear, I'm not talking about her building fully operational mech-style battlesuits, more self-winding crossbows or small things with clockwork keys that you twist and then listen for the popping of chemicals before throwing as far away as you can and darting behind cover before the cover becomes a crater.

ＴＥＲＲＡ

I'd be interested in playing as a goblin girl, but would need to know more about the Greenskin culture before committing fully.

What level of technology do the races have, are we talking Horizon: Zero Dawn, or World of Warcraft?

How prevalant is radiation in the new world, is it considered a constant danger or an occasional nuisance?

How 'hideous and deformed' are Greenskins?

In the Court of the High Queen

Also, now I will say that Pridania live in an environment similar to Ireland, with very similar accents. :3

@OfWindAndRain

Does that mean the countryside in Pridania is overrun with aos sí? :p

EuroMed can help with that. And for a small additional charge you can skip the statutory waiting period.
