Shards of Memory: Black Dawn

It's not "disdainful to the mythos". It was just a rad rule of cool type idea that felt right for the genre tone and setting. Like mixing nutella, marshmellow fluff, and peanut butter for a sandwich.

Also I don't know if it's because it's like 3 AM where I'm at. But I'd really like to know you're reasons as to why this tech hierarchy with the mechs is that important for your guys. Because honestly this focusing on statistics would be more appropriate to like tabletop game. Plus it's not like in the mech anime this stuff is ever actually relevant outside of like stuff being posted on the back of the toys or like little factoids in supplementary material for fans.

Shards of Memory: Black Dawn

Right and what does Innue think/say?
Also pray tell what's wrong with exploring the setting as hippie pirate vigilantes and being able to interact and explore from an outsider's perspective?

Shards of Memory: Black Dawn

That's dumb.

We're doing a freeform rp; all it is is description. Plus we got the anime flavor going meaning the only thing it might affect would be the hapless NPCs who are cannon fodder to the heroes/central characters , but between characters they're more or less equal in performance save for some plot event.

Also really why are you guys being so damn pedantic about dumb details in a fricken mecha anime derived game?

Shoot dude, we're like your only players with actual sheets on this thread so far and now you want to seriously argue over this instead of rolling with it and playing the actual game?

Shards of Memory: Black Dawn

Sword's a sword. Doesn't mater what it looks like be it lightsaber or an actual oversized sword, keyblade or telescoping baton with some energy field to make it cut.

Shards of Memory: Black Dawn

Why are we even arguing these story details?

Not like they're gonna really matter in the big picture. The only thing I'm seeing is something of a plothole involving faction dominance and tech but this is pretty anime flavored so it's par for the course.

Anyway for the questions pertaining to my gear:
It's a sword and it cuts stuff end of story much like your lightsaber.

Point defense is just like little turret things that shoot at missiles and stuff and are automated. And of course the generic rifle is an oversized gun that shoots large bullets.

The ATA is just the name we gave to this predecessor bot that served as the framework. It's only purpose is as a plot device that briefly explains the origin of the gimmick for the mechs

Hugo

Name: Hugo Bauznos
Age: Twenty five
Gender: male
Gift: n/a
Birthplace: Thunderchild
Profession/Rank: Captain of the Thunderchild
Kensai Piloted: The seventh Moon
Affiliations: Thunderchild
Physical Appearance: Well muscled and of a nicely toasted skin tone. He is appropriately roguishly handsome given his situation. He likes to wear dark blue worn duster that has its sleeves worn and missing over a plain brown shirt, matching colored pants and some sturdy boots.

Weapons: Non-eutectic goose quill sword, Rifle, pistol

History: Hugo is as tied to the Thunderchild as much as he is tied to the Thunderchild. Amidst the aftermath of the tragedy known as The Merging that destroyed the Earth as the Earthlings knew it and furthered only more hatred and distrust against the Arlanians. The greatest minds of various old Earth countries converged together for an extremely top secret project that was an attempt to develop technology and weapon to not only defeat and send away the Arlanians but also reverse the destruction this magic caused to the world. However with how the CIA were managed and their growing tyranny as they became the De facto head of power for the old world countries dissent and the seed of rebellion not only was planted but grew.

On a secret shard base where this was happening was the also the sight of another project named The NAUTILUS. A would be state of the art mobile offense platform cross kensai transport and maintenance vessel. The various workers on this project had been linked together in ideological common grounds: This technology would not be in good hands and would only further the fighting destruction with no concern to the precious and rare land that had been rendered apart with magic. And namely how this technology should be used to find a way and heal the land. On the week before the ship would be demo'd to the various bigwigs of the CIA the base was sabotaged with facilities being bombed out as well as any information physical and digital being destroyed.

The Nautilus know being rechristened the Thunderchild a name full of meaning and hope for a new life and future. Went to plunge into watery depths of the new core. Here nestled amongst this blue pearl they would simply disappear. A new life of piracy awaited for the rebellious crew as they preyed on the ravens and the various countries for for information and materials but also people. Recruiting from the disaffected, the exiled, anyone with no home and who didn't agree with what was going on; their manpower would keep fairly stable and grow as the Thunderchild became its own community. Hugo being some of the many people born and raised on the ship inherited his father's passion and ideals and love for music. Now having become worthy to have the title of Captain he commands his crew through the great blue pearl of the core and raids as they look for a way to heal the damage done.

Other:His favorite animals are the chameleon and llama and as such has his quarter with two plush animals in their form.

Invocation of the Divoria: The unfurling wings of Ondulish

Otomos you're finally in after correcting stuff

Invocation of the Divoria: The unfurling wings of Ondulish

Parser I misread your points and forgot about hobbies being half the cost.

You're in

Invocation of the Divoria: The unfurling wings of Ondulish

Hop aboard this g doc and I'll help you out on your character and explain the system better.

Invocation of the Divoria: The unfurling wings of Ondulish

Alright wyvern your dude is in, for not even ancient evil can deter the threat of shamefur dispray and unemployment when overtime is happening.

Parser you need to take off a point of something because I'm getting a 31; get rid of that single digit and we'll be fine. Also I believe I told you we could just make a special ability up that declares the robot's inorganic nature and the benefits it might confer.

Aight otomos. Rules say you shouldn't start with 5 anything in char gen which I am abiding by. So change that and you're golden. Anyway servant could work if you wanted it to do slight more stuff such as legit meatshielding, also I could help stat it if you wanted.

Anyway might want to reword magic puppet into Hobby:magic puppet just so I don't forget and to implicate you know about the subject beyond knowing to use it. And if you're attacking with the puppet more often than your character herself I'd give higher damage with the puppet; which I'd probably reword it as Weapon: Puppet with greatsword[Insert number here]. Also while I up for custom skills you should probably explain what Loot does

Also with your power moves you got the endurance values wrong, by default you're burning 10 plus whatever effects that add or subtract.
So that in reality

Assembling Dash Attack would be 30 endurance
Puppet Sky Attack I'm not allowing decimal values so let's have it as being extra damage 2, in which it be eating 20 endurance
For puppet guard, would be better served by the barrier ability, unless you took the servant ability and then it would simply be having it taking the hit for you.
