What is the hardest thing you've ever done?

Getting out of bed every morning.

Hardest thing, every single day.

Behind his helmet, Decker's eyes suddenly seemed to flash, before they shifted to a faint blue glow as his optics focused and unfocused, adjusting to the light level. The blurriness and slight visual glitching eventually subsided, and Decker found himself staring up at a canopy of green, warm rays of sun shining through the leaves. There was some movement above, and he zoomed in to see several birds perched on a branch, chirping away, some with berries in their beaks. For a second, he felt a sense of peace, which was odd an odd feeling in his circuits.

Something nudged his legs, and he slowly turned his head to see a woman in odd attire standing a few paces away from him. She appeared to be wearing a long blue dress, with some sort of metal armour covering her top, along with a pair of boots, a bladed weapon in her right hand. She was looking at his sprawled-out form with caution, though there was a sense of curiosity in her deep blue eyes. A gentle breeze blew through the forest, causing several trees to rustle up above, and the woman's dress and long, braided blonde hair to sway in the wind.

Decker groaned as he raised his hands above his face, before he shakily got to his feet, servos in both his armour and body itself whirring as he did. His inbuilt balancing systems ensured that he wouldn't lose his balance as he stood up to his full height, which he noted was far taller than the woman. He shook his head as the last of his systems returned back to life, before giving an uncomfortable wave at the woman.

"Uh, hello."

@IceHeart

Well, my first IC is up. Sorry if it took longer than expected.

Hard Reset [Hostile and IceHeart]

In the skies and above the clouds of an uncharted planet, the air seemed to shimmer and glow, before a line split through and appeared to rip reality itself open, creating an opening which revealed nothing but a blue and white glow. Then through that glow, a spacecraft emerged, shooting out at an impressive speed, before plummeting down towards the planet's surface as the portal closed behind it. It appeared to be damaged, looking as if it had collided with something shown by numerous scratches to its paintjob and parts flying off as they shot through the atmosphere. Smoke was trailing out of several sections, which were also sparking and fizzling. As for its six large repulsor engines, only four seemed to be working. Even then, its rear left engine seemed to be burning out. Lights in its cabin also seemed to be sparking as the area was bathed in flashing red from warning lights. The entire craft shook as it continued its violent descent, its functioning engines screeching.

Inside its large reinforced glass bridge, an armoured figure sat in the ship's command chair, frantically trying to regain control of his craft. "No no no no NO!" Conrad Decker screamed, pressing every button on the holoscreens in front of him. Try as he might, the ship refused to respond to his efforts. "Why won't you work?" He grit out, slamming his fist on the armrest. How the hell did this happen? He was on his way to meet a new contract on a colony world in the Inner Colonies when he had the misfortune for his RIFT drive to malfunction, violently throwing him out of the hyperspace tunnel and falling towards some planet he didn't even recognise.

The android mercenary growled as he attempted to at least activate the ship's airbrakes or reverse its thrust to slow his descent, but as before, nothing worked. More than a little worrying as the ground was getting closer every second, a sea of trees down below.

"WARNING! Cargo bay door open. Manual override required." His ship's computer alerted. Throwing his arms up in frustration, he jumped out of the chair and raced towards the rear, which took a fair amount of time, given his ship measured at just above fifty-three metres in length. Reaching it, he saw that, to his anger, several pieces of unsecured cargo sliding down the metal floor and shooting out through the opening. Growling, he activated the magnetic clamps in his boots and sprinted over to the door controls. Of course, something had to go wrong just as he reached it.

"ALERT! IMPACT WITH GROUND IN <10> SECONDS!" The ship's computer warned with a tone of urgency as the craft's altitude rapidly decreased. He knew that because he had synced himself up with the ship itself, and he felt and saw everything its sensors and cameras did. He looked out the opened cargo bay. He was only a few dozen metres above the canopy layer. Cursing, he clamped on to a railing, the metal bending due to his strength, and positioned himself to absorb the shock.

The craft suddenly lurched as he collided with a tree, sending it tilting to the side. It vibrated and shook as it hit a dozen more in its path. Decker glanced back out, seeing to his horror that at this speed, impact would severely damage his craft, not to mention himself in the process.

"ALERT! IMPACT WITH GROUND IN <-#1&67136"

"Son of a bi-" Was the last thing Decker managed to say before the entire railing was ripped off the ground as there was a horrible metallic grinding, before he himself was thrown out through the back. His sensors went haywire, and the last thing he received through his visual feed was the craft finally sliding to a stop a few dozen metres in front of him and catching fire, before his systems shut down.

@IceHeart If case you missed the intro post, the RP is here.

Hard Reset [Hostile and IceHeart]

Name: Military Combat Android Generation 14 Series 31 Unit 2071 (Unit designation), Conrad Decker (Chosen name)

Age: 61 (Since manufacture)

Gender: Male programming

Occupation: Mercenary

Appearance:

Face

Decker stands at the standard android height of 6'2" (1.87m), 6'4" (1.93m) in armour, and has glowing blue optics. Despite his age, he still appears as a young man in his mid to late twenties due to synthetics lacking the biological ageing process in humans. On a side note, Decker is never seen without his armour, and he only removes it in extremely rare circumstances such as formal meetings. It is also due to the fact that he sees no need to remove it, due to not needing sleep and comfort.

Personality: Having lost most of his memory besides basic information on combat and how to operate technology, Decker is unable to remember most of his life before the crash, and as such, he is somewhat naïve and curious about things and tries to help out wherever he can. Despite this, he can still be a deadly adversary in combat due to possessing the strength of multiple humans and his enhanced reflexes. He can also be a lot more mature if need be. He will go to great lengths to get his memory back.

History: [DATA CORRUPTED]

Weapons and Equipment:

• ACAR-38: The standard issue assault rifle for every Marine. It, like all other kinetic weapons of the UEGNC, uses a coil propulsion system to fire 8.41x63mm armour-piercing rounds at incredible speeds and range. It has a selective fire mode and can fire single shots, burst shots, and full auto. Comes with an undermounted grenade launcher and holds sixty rounds.
• G119: Standard issue sidearm for UEGNC Marines. Holds fifteen 10mm rounds in its magazine. Decker carries two of these.
• E31 Homing Grenade: Frag grenades that home in onto targets when thrown and detonate.
• 7-inch Durasteel Combat Knives: A pair of combat knives able to cut through armour.
• Gen 1 Android Sonic Cannon: Decker can transform his right arm into a powerful energy weapon that shoots blasts of extremely high-powered sound waves. Though not as powerful as later versions, this weapon is still able to inflict a massive amount of damage.
• Modified Combat Armour: A set of powered armour modified and worn by Decker with improvements to movement systems and sensors.
• Many more contained in his ship's weapons locker.

Skills and Abilities:

• Pinpoint Calculations: Due to having a supercomputer for a brain, Decker can perceive the world in slow-motion, and can perform complex calculations in microseconds.
• Marksmanship: Processing millions of calculations per second, Decker can predict the movement of targets and fire with extreme accuracy.
• Advanced Hydraulics: Military Combat Androids all have advanced hydraulic systems, allowing them to have the strength five humans.
• Heavy Mettle: Due to being programmed with multiple combat styles, Decker is a deadly combatant in close combat, which itself is supplemented with his superhuman strength.
• Android Durability: Thanks to Decker's nanocomposite duratanium endoskeleton and bulletproof synthetic skin layer, he is far more durable than normal humans, being able to shrug off most blows and impacts.
• Photographic Memory: Androids are able to process and store information such as faces, maps, and files.
• Reactor Overload: Decker overloads his microfusion reactor, which provides him a temporary boost of power, increasing his speed and strength. However, he overheats quickly, and needs to cool down every so often. Overloading too much has to potential to self-destruct with the power of a small nuke.

Hostile's Character Database

Roleplay From: Beyond the Horizon
Roleplay Status: INACTIVE

Lance Carter

Character Status: INACTIVE

Name: Lance Carter

Titles: Mercenary Carter

Age: 30

Gender: Male

Occupation: Freelance Mercenary

Affiliation: None

Appearance:

Armour

*Suit is grey and not green

Face

Personality: Somewhat hot-headed. Likes explosions and isn't afraid to get his hands dirty as long as it gets him a large paycheck at the end of the day. Despite his usual gruffness, he at least has enough morals not to shoot and kill random civilians, something even Marines aren't spared from. He is known to be rather positive at times, often delivering quips in the heat of battle. However, he is also quick to become stern and serious when the situation gets awry. Other than this, he is also painfully sarcastic at times.

History: Like most modern mercenaries, Lance was a former Marine who served for four years before leaving. He fought in several conflicts over the years, most notably the Colonial Uprising, a war fought between the United Earth Government and the Sovereign Colonies, human colony worlds that did not want to be part of the UEG. The war had been dragging on for almost two centuries as of 2841, and it didn't look like it was going to end any time soon.

With the war waging on, millions of Marines were deployed to battlefields each day, and Lance was one of those sent to fight. The heaviest fighting normally took place on the colonies further away from Earth, with the rebels controlling much of the territory. The UEG's military, the United Earth Government Naval Command, struggled to control the rebels. Lance saw some of the heaviest fighting and participated in numerous battles.

Eventually, he left the Marines and became a freelance mercenary, purchasing his own ship and armour with what money he had. There, he worked for whoever paid best. While he wasn't exactly very well-known, he was still prolific enough for weaker colonies constantly getting raided by pirates and rebels to hire him. He fulfilled contract after contract, earning himself a decent sum of money in the process.

He had just completed a contract and was heading to a nearby world for some R&R when his ship experienced a hyperdrive malfunction, forcing him to come back to realspace above an uncharted planet. With nowhere else to go, he decides to land on it to explore.

Weapons and Equipment:

• ACAR-38: The standard issue assault rifle for every Marine, available for civilian purchase. It, like all other kinetic weapons of the UEGNC, uses a coil propulsion system to fire 8.41x63mm armour-piercing rounds at incredible speeds and range. It has a selective fire mode and can fire single shots, burst shots, and full auto. Comes with an undermounted compact grenade launcher.
• G121: Pistol that fires 10mm rounds.
• E31 Homing Grenade: Frag grenades that home in onto targets when thrown and detonate. Can also be used as a conventional grenade and contact grenade.
• 12-inch Durasteel Combat Knife: A combat knife sharp enough to pierce through thinner layers of underarmour bodysuit.

Skills and Abilities: Lance is a trained soldier, being handy with his assault rifle and just about any other firearm. He is somewhat skilled in hand-to-hand combat, although he prefers to stay at range. He is a skilled technician and mechanic, quickly repairing any mechanical faults he finds, and be fairly personable and friendly enough.

Cutter: Cutter is Lance's A.I. assistant. He is a standard A.I. construct that takes the appearance of a man wearing a set of powered armour, minus the helmet. He is sarcastic and somewhat playful, and his holographic projection is grey.

Hard Reset (Sci-Fi/Fantasy crossover idea)

Here's an idea I've wanted to do for quite a long time.

In the distant future, humans have invented FTL travel and colonised hundreds of planets and blah blah blah, you know, standard Sci-Fi stuff. However, this is where the fun starts.

In this RP, my character is a decommissioned military android who now works as a freelance mercenary. He has been doing his job quite well for a fairly long time, and was heading towards the location of his latest job when his ship suddenly suffers a hyperdrive malfunction, forcing him out of hyperspace and depositing him in the skies of an uncharted planet. His ship, damaged from the sudden transition, loses control and crashes into a forest. The crash damages his systems and causes him to lose his memory.

Meanwhile, on the planet itself, which is your average fantasy world with dragons and elves and stuff, your character, a freelance knight or something, happens to witness the crash. Curious, she travels to the crash site, where she encounters my character, who is laying inactive on the ground close by and rebooting, having been thrown out/bailed out. The story unfolds from there.
