Godzilla: YATAGARASU

How big did you envision the Jaguar?

Godzilla: YATAGARASU

@Sanity43217: That's actually more or less what the JAGUAR prototype currently is, albeit there's only one right now but it can effectively fight smaller kaiju.

It might be a good idea to angle for that instead?

@VitaVitaAR

I sort of envisioned H.Arm units being smaller than JAGUAR. Probably only a third of the size, but much more agile.
Though I would be happy to play as the JAGUAR pilot, but I thought I saw someone else post interest in that role earlier.

Godzilla: YATAGARASU

@Sanity43217: Hmmm. I don't know if I feel like that gels well with the RP as a whole, superhumans with kaiju abilities is a bit out of the scope of what I'm going for.

@VitaVitaAR

That’s all good. I’ll start work on a guy who leads a squad of smaller scale mechs and their supporting teams.
Colloquially called a HARM (Heavy Armament) Squad, these Mecha and their pilots specialise in rapid response. Taking the fight to a Kaiju before it makes landfall or reaches a densely populated area. They lack the strength to drop a Kaiju, but are meant to hold them back to buy enough time for a large contingent of tanks to get in formation, and/or the Gotengo to get in position to fire more devastating attacks.

My Hider

Godzilla: YATAGARASU

Hey, so how restricted to realism are we? Like I can see two psychic characters and laser weaponry, so obviously there are some sci fi elements at play.
Because I had an idea inspired by this D&D homebrew.
So here’s my pitch.
A soldier that has been experimented on with Kaiju biological material. Probably Stem Cells from a fallen Kaiju that was pregnant at the time of its defeat. He would inherit a few abilities from Kaiju, but most notably, he would become a living nuclear reactor. He would function as the brain and power specs for a new prototype mech to combat Kaiju.
Ad he biologically functions as a nuclear reactor, producing mass amounts of energy, he solves the issue of finding a suitable, sustainable energy source for the project.
Thoughts?

I’m so sorry, I had some health issues come up. I would have responded sooner but only woke up from the coma two days ago.

■ 1999-2001| - Humble Beginnings
On the 3rd of June, 1999, an American Military officer fell and an Australian Tourist had a son. Terry Anderson had gotten, Australian, Stella Dixon pregnant. Stella moved to America so her son could know his Father.
They got on well, and were in love. Terry was making enough money so that Stella could be a stay at home mother and look after their son, Tyler. Aside from the whole Y2K thing, the first years of Tyler’s life were rather uneventful.

2001-2005 - 9/11, the war on terror and the loss of a father
September 11, 2001. A date everyone remembers. The terrorist attacks on the World Trade Centre shook the world. As much as everyone says they remember exactly where they were when it happened, Tyler does not, as he was a mere toddler. Not yet fully conscious to the world around him. He didn’t fully understand the consequences of the terror attack.
While there weren’t any real direct consequences for Tyler himself, it did shake up his family. Terry, who was an officer in the United States Army was deployed to the Middle East. Leaving Stella to raise Tyler on her own. Six months into his Deployment, Terry found an IED, and was killed in action. The exact details were never disclosed to Stella and Tyler, but they were told it was a hero’s death.
The loss of a father greatly changed Tyler’s life. His mother could no longer support him, and had to get a full time job. Leaving Tyler neglected for four years. Now six years old, new things were in store for the young mutant.

2005-2008 - Going Home
After three years of struggling to make ends meet, Stella lost her job and gave up. She moved back to Australia with her Son to live with her parents in Regional North Queensland. So Tyler was enrolled in a new school and made new friends. He got a chance to be a kid again.
Meanwhile Stella had gotten a new job. She got a job as a secretary for Catlyn Hill, a successful business woman who ran one of the biggest financial institutions in Australia. Over the next few years, Stella and Catlyn began to form a personal relationship. With Stella coming out as Bisexual.

2008-2014 - A tale of two mums
In 2008, Stella moved in with Catlyn, and Tyler’s life changed dramatically. He moved to a much nicer/richer school. His family finally had money. At first, he wasn’t sure how he felt about his mum getting a new lover, but Catlyn gave him space, and was quite supportive of him. Tyler also couldn’t argue that Stella was happier then she had been in a long time.
Tyler made a new best friend at his new school and the pair got on well. Getting up to all sorts of mischief.

Steven prefers having at least two doctors on the team because his Trauma Team coverage and health insurance are both expired.

Did we have a Discord to discuss things?
I was just wondering what everyone had planned for shared background as part of the crew.
With Steven Bates being one of the older members, I was flirting with the idea that he helped found the crew for a job a while back. I’m not committed to the idea of anyone had an alternative.

Steven Bates

_{S T E V E N B A T E S
◄ 64 ▎ MALE ▎ 6’1 ►}

_{P R O F I L E}

Steven has stared CyberPsychos down without flinching. A cool, calm and collected individual. Despite medical technology and body sculpting keeping him physically around the early 40s, his age is starting to catch up to him. He has a dislike for Cyberware and those that rely on it to bolster their combat effectiveness. He has returned most of his advanced cyberware when he retired from MaxTac. He has seen what CyberPsychosis can do to the best of people and made a promise never to go down that road.
Steven Bates, who goes by the code name ‘Clock,’ is a 6’2 athletic man. Coming from a wealthy family of Corporate Workers, Steven is conventionally attractive due to BodySculpting, at least he would have been in his younger days. Now the lines are starting to come through, and he has more scars from adding and removing Cyberware.

_{D A Y S - G O N E}
“Where does one start? The beginning is a good a place as any, I suppose. ”

Born to a pair of Corpo Workers in Night City, Steven Bartholomew Bates was pretty well off. His parents cared for him, and their jobs payed well enough to keep him out of too much trouble. Steven went some Ivy League Corpo School, but never really got good grades. Where Steven failed academically, he excelled physically. During his teenage years, he won a fight against one of his chipped classmates before he himself had any Augs. This raw talent was recognised by Arasaka, and they attempted to recruit him to be a Corpo Solo, but he declined because he wanted to really help people. So he signed up to the NCPD once he graduated high school. Once he started getting equipped with high end combat augs, it became apparent Steven was quite good at his job.
About a year after joining the NCPD he met a girl at a bar in his down time. Catlyn Davis. She was a lab technician working for Arasaka. Nothing too major, but it paid the bills. Steven and Catlyn hit it off. They started dating and got married two years later.
About eighteen months after the wedding, Steven got offered a transfer to MaxTac. He was hesitant to take the transfer as it meant he would be in more danger and would have to get some experimental military grade augs. Catlyn convinced Steven to accept the transfer, saying that the extra money would be helpful in helping them start a family. The next ten years were good. Steven proved very good at his job. The only downside was Catlyn proved to be infertile. A genetic condition that cost to much to fix to be feasible, even with them both working full time. So they bought a high end apartment and we’re living the high life.
With Steven making a name for himself within the ranks of MaxTac, his hours were increasing. During one particularly long shift, he got a call to say his wife had been in a car crash. Caught in the crossfire of a gang hit gone wrong. Luckily they had Trauma Team coverage so she was saved. Steven knocked off early that shift, and spent the night with his wife in hospital. After the required surgery, she was physically fine, but her mental health had taken a hit. Once Steven went back to work, Catlyn began to have panic attacks, and had developed a slight addiction to the pain medication she was given after the crash. She began to feel unsafe, and found she could get the pain meds from a ripper doc if she got augmented. This started Catlyn down the road of getting addicted to Cyberware. She hid this from Steven who was getting called into work more and more.
Five years after the car crash, Catlyn went Psycho. Steven was at work and got the call to put a CyberPsycho down. There was nothing abnormal about the call, until he got there and realised the CyberPsycho was his wife. He tried to calm her down, but she had already gone too far. He was forced to put his wife down. This rattled Steven, who the following week had most of his CyberWare removed, and put in his resignation.
He got a hefty pension for his service and for relinquishing most of the Cyberware. So he got to keep his apartment.
He lasted about five years on his savings and pension before he needed to pick up a new job. Given his service record, it was relatively easy to find a fixer willing to bring him on as a Merc. He once again began to make a name for himself. Once again getting Auged, but not to the extreme he had when he was working for MaxTac. He earned a reputation for not relying on Cyberware.

Catlyn Bates

“My wife. At least she used to be. I’m a damn fool for ignoring the signs, a d refuse to let it happen again.”
“I know it’s unhealthy, but I can’t help but run the BD of our wedding. Lucky those mil spec augs had the recorders built in.”
“I’ve finally invested in a good CyberShrink BD. I keep seeing her face when I close my eyes. I haven’t slept in days and the crew are getting worried. Hopefully this helps.”

the Crew

Vatican Boy

“Probably the only member of the crew I don’t respect.”
“Choom’s a CyberPsycho, don’t care what he has to say about. Taking ‘walks’ to kill people, it’s fucked up. You should only ever kill people out of self defence or because you are being paid to. This self righteous crusade is nothing more then the ramblings of a Psycho.”
“Best to keep him at arms reach lest he turn on us. I’ve got MaxTac on speed dial for when that day comes.”

Alistair 'Set’ Liu

“A net runner is a dime a dozen in Night City, but a good one damn hard to find. Set is one of the good ones.”
“Some members of the crew used to give him grief about being born a Corpo, but he’s one of us now, and I’ll fight anyone that threatens him.”
“I used to try and defend the kid, but he seems to be able to look after himself.”

Zhenya "Zen" Makarova

“I wish she would lay off the CyberWare. It’s be a shame to have to dial MaxTac on her.”
“At least she has enough common sense to keep her carnage limited to the job we get paid to do.”
“Not going to lie, I’m not sure if I found incredibly sexy, or incredibly scary.”

Dr Jorick Godricksson

“The Doc. I appreciate his work. Shame he couldn’t save Boots, but that’s what you get for running ahead without a plan. I don’t blame the Doc for not being able to save him.”
“He’s good at his job. If he doesn’t have the Ware you are looking for, chances are he knows where you can find it.”

Cyberware and bioware

• MiliTech Berserk MK.5 - His operating system. Allows him to go Beserk for a short period, giving him an array of buffs.
• Blitzkrieg Arc-Thrower - Replacing his left arm, it operates by firing a low-energy laser down an ionized air path which creates a high voltage 10m lightning bolt that fires from the end of his arm, giving him the power of the Gods.
• Muscle & Bone Lace - Muscle and bone lace use nanites to thread microscopic artificial fibers through muscle and bone tissue. The result is that the tissue is both stronger (physical strength is enhanced) and more resistant to damage. Muscle and bone lace will enhance overall strength and durability, but not to the degree of an actual artificial cyberlimb.
• Kiroshi Dodgeball - This cyberoptic option from Kiroshi Optics consists of a logic processor keyed to predict movements of the human body according to established patterns of body language. The device will enhance the user's close-combat capabilities, allowing him/her to predict an opponent's offensive or defensive actions.
