NCQuest: Smith's Rest

Joe thought it was best to remain silent unless asked directly, since all relevant information for a mission is either provided in the briefing beforehand or by the NC's computers once the communications were established.

To protect against the cold Joe had simply retracted his arms from the sleeves of his jacket; it looked strange but was effective.
He used the time to think about how to deliver as much damage as possible while taking the least amount of damage, and since the best way to not take damage is to not be detected, he ended up thinking about how he could establish a LoS(Line of Sight) to his target without being seen himself.

Still, Joe listened to what the other said, even though he didn't focus on it, information is information after all.

What about the old IC post from before the reset?
NVM, they're gone.

I think another GM post would be good at this point, @LHG100

NCQuest: Smith's Rest

I just saw the interest check do you have room?

RavenxVoid

Considering the previous statements of the GM, I wouldn't bet on it.

NCQuest: Smith's Rest

Still space for another?

Also, is there a reason why the IC is not displaying anything?

The RP was started already some time ago, but due to a lack of players(only 2 were active) the GM decided to reset everything and start over. Players were allowed to keep their chars if they adjusted the sheets to meet any new requirements/fields.

NCQuest: Smith's Rest

Joe Verona

Name: Joe Verona
Nicknames: Joe-it-all

Background

Joe is the son of the mechanic Arin Verona, working in Smith's rest, which allowed Joe to get to see a few NCs in his life while his father was working on them. He also picked up a bunch of scientific knowledge regarding engineering from him.
An old but still post-cataclysm computer was a gift for his 13th birthday; it only had a commandline interface, although it was possible for it to display and generate images. Especially the lack of a graphical user interface paved the way for Joe to learn much about computing with his remainder of a child's ability to learn complex systems quickly, given sufficient interest.
About two years ago the financial situation of the family got really bad, so Arin decided to sell Joe's computer. Unfortunatly without consulting him first. The very same day Joe noticed and snapped, punching his father in the head during the rage which lasted only a few seconds before he regained control. The force of the punch was great enough to break his hand and permanently damage his father's brain. As a result of the damage, Arin's long-term memory is unable to store new memories, although previous memories from before that day remain unaffected.

Age: 26
Personality: Joe is usually the analytical type, using knowledge to his advantage. It is very hard to anger him, and if he is in a rage it only lasts for seconds, but during those seconds he is capable of anything, except staying calm and analytical.

Appearance

height: 1.79m
normal weight, although closer to underwheight than to overwheight
pale as a vampire

Tactical preference/skills:Joe isn't really cut out for combat, mostly because his tendency to overanalize his situation lowers his reaction-time significantly; in some situations 2 seconds pass before he can react. As such he usually prefers to be in safe locations during a battle, being rather involved in communications, tactics or cyber-warfare(taking remote control of an enemy unit and the like). He is not a great tactitian despite his analytical nature though
Other things of note: NERD!!!

NC sheet

Code-Name: Swarm

Appearance

Body-Plan: A general humanoid, although armored and handless. Where the hand would normally be is instead a currently unoccupied weapon or utility slot
Type/Quality: It acts as a ranged unit, taking out both grounded and airborn targets, preferably out of their range. Middling-low

Equipment

• The 22 missile launcher have a reload time of 40 seconds and it takes about 4 seconds to fire an entire volley of missiles.
• To ease targeting and target-prioritizing, the head is equipped if a more powerful radar, which can manually be focussed in any direction to increase its range in that direction a bit.
• The Swarm is equipped with 2 guidance systems:
  
  • A cruise missile controller for precise strikes with single missles
  • An IR-laser to aim at whatever a volley of heat-seekers shall target. The laser itself has not enough power to do any damage on its own

General Description: The Swarm Is a heavier, hunchbacked unit with an extreme focus on long range combat and defensive armaments. It features numerous long-range high mobility missile launchers, and it would have a high-powered plasma cannon in the waist, but that mount is currently unoccupied.
As well, the Swarm has an interesting backpack design suited for aerodynamics and in-atmosphere flight speed, effectively meaning that while it's slow as mollasses on the ground, its actually sort of fast in the air.
However, if the backpack was hit by a heavier weapon, due to speedy and shoddy construction, it does have a chance to damage the rest of the unit. Thus, the pilot should always point towards the enemy.

Plague-Hunters

"You suspect an exicus spell to be his method of cloaking? That would indeed explain how well he could hide himself, however there is one problem with that: If the rune of an exicus spell is hidden from any detection, it will not work, since the spirits cannot read the undetectable. As such, there is no self-concealing exicus spell. Yes, there are exicus spells to conceal other objects or beings, but the rune cannot conceal itself. If he used an exicus spell, we should have found the rune used to cast it. Either freshly drawn or somewhere where it was hidden during the fight. The other 2 options would be that he used a vitae spell, or that he had help from someone else, who was either observing the fight, or asked by Nawar to conceal him."
Iṃgor reasoned in response to Alexanders hypothesis, when he was suddenly struck by an idea:
"What if he didn't use a concealment spell, but a teleportation or transportation spell?"

NCQuest: Smith's Rest

It is. Why else should the GM have updated the codex yesterday?
