Crisis: Mars! [Full unless you're Brilliant]

@Sep@t2wave there is a very large difference between "an area where time is different" and "an are where the time of all objects is different".

Which is is in Edith's case?

(You can say "it's magic, sod off". And it will be. But right now my physicist senses are tingling my head off)

@Peaceless

I just created the idea that he manipulated it in a localized field. It's more along the lines off (The way I was meaning, and thought T2 was saying) Was that the time for all objects are different. If you're in the field, Edith slows it down. She'll move normally and everything else is slow, if you are slowed down as far as you are aware it's Edith that's moving really fast (From outside the field Edith will move normally, everyone else will be slow). Speeding up, inside everything will appear normal, but from outside everything will seem to be going faster.

This is what I took away from our discussions, though I was mainly working on making sure the power didn't become OP. I'll let T2 respond now.

Also don't you love malicious but uncertain threats? You could have taken the Generals comment several different ways :P

I like leaving things open ended for the players to play with. I mean you are players, what's the fun if I just force you down a specific path?

Crisis: Mars! [Full unless you're Brilliant]

@t2wave, speaking of timezones, I wish to discuss your character's power, issues of flavoring in particular. I have a few questions of extreme cases I would like to address:

1. The power's use on objects: is it limited to an area or particular objects? If area, what happens to a person that put their arm in? What happens to things that get thrown in from outside?

2. Does the power interact with light? If so, there are going to be some horrible EM distortions on its edge. If not, what's the point of affecting an area?

3. Depending on the answer to 2, how does it interact with energy weapons or energy discharges?

4. How does it interact with psychic powers?

@Peaceless

Me and him discussed thrown in, as long as the area is being maintained the object should be affected.

We actually didn't discuss the other options.

The Keep

Ryan lifted it, groaning slightly as he did. He was impressed he could lift it, surprised and worried. Though it was still damn heavy. Then an idea struck him, gripping it more tightly he swung it into the Pacification unit. Alarms immediately began ringing and he just managed to jump through the door before it slammed closed. Middle of a prison facility, no idea where... and it was full of U.S.F forces. This wasn't exactly the best situation to be in. Though... he did feel better after hitting something. That seemed to be what the last couple of days had been missing. Now the oddest thing was he had never seen or heard of another prisoner. Edith. The name the TV had used she must be the one who was in the room behind his own, she'd know what was going on.

Yes, that must be what that was. It was a clue, a trail to follow.

X3 Unit - Medical Examination Room in the Keep

The X3 moved itself to the middle of the doorway, before moving its hand up, as if to signal for someone to "Stop" however a hologram spat forth and stood on front of the robot. The General stood there, a stern look on his face. "I was just calling to congratulate you and to see if you could hurry up. Then I get reports of alarms going off throughout the facility, what on Earth is going down there Doctor?"

The hologram could be seen casting its eyes to Edith, obviously the X3 was acting as his eyes. He recognised her of course, how could he not? With the high volume of Lorne Corporation facilities that had been hit. People were saying that it was lucky that anyone had survived the blast radius at all. However as far as he was concerned, others were always too slow...

Shaking himself out of his reverie he spoke, in a more commanding tone directly to the X3. "Have another unit come in and secure the prisoner on the bed with handcuffs-" He turned back to the good Doctor. "Then continue running every kind of scan and test you have on these people. Save the autopsy for last, so you don't taint any of your other material." A closer alarm began to ring. The general then merely sighed before the hologram faded away.

"Wheoever kills more Sithies"

VeryVery few people knew the connection between Palpatine and the Sith, even Vader and the Sith. "Imps""Stormies" go for it, but nobody knows the Sith Connection except for Yoda, Luke, Obi-Wan, Leia, Probably Han and Chewie.

Hey guys, I'm gonna have to drop out of this :(
I thought I had the time, energy and inspiration to join a RP. But with my new job I simply can't get the time to be active here.
I'm really sorry to quit, but I hope you all have a blast RP'ing together.

@Unknown100

I am sad to see you go.

I'll be posting first thing tomorrow then. You are welcome to come back anytime Unknown, for now I'll use your character as a NPC.

<Snipped quote by Sep>

Fighting instinct? Having had to live on one's own for a good amount of time? She's had to have been a bit of a scrapper. Learning how to fight comes with that?

They hit the flank, causing confusion. Not everyone is focusing on her all at once. She came from obscuring smoke and cover, swiftly at that to boot. I was under that assumption at least.

Sensitivity grants her a little additionally quick reaction time and agility. She's also rather acrobatic. See her skills/abilities on her CS? .___.

There was also this:

<Snipped quote by HeySeuss>

Which is a thought that their fire isn't all that accurate. Lucky more than skilled, essentially.

@Feisty-Pants

Even so. Can I just point out you

a) Ran on front of all your allies meaning that the chance of friendly fire increases.
b) Ran STRAIGHT at them, taking no damage (Lasers are fast, and you have little Jedi training. I don't care how acrobatic you are that's pretty Space Magicy)
c) You then proceeded to find weakpoints in armour thats designed to withstand against laser bolts on one individual, then 4-5 more.

The Force to those who can weild it expertly can only push it so far, you're barely trained dodging all these shots and not getting a scratch. She was six when order 66 was enacted, she would just be learning how to lift a stone if that.

And from your sheet she's used to hopping on speeder bikes, not jumping around like a maniac. As I said, I have no real power here though this seems quite out of tone of the RP and the reason we didn't have Jedi running around before now.

Give them a week IC and we'll have ISDs and Inquisitors after us.

I should point out in debates such as this I am quite often blunt which some people find offensive, you shouldn't. It's just the way I say things, as if I feel something needs said I damn well say it.

Star Wars: Rebel Scum | Recruiting because of bailouts.

Un. I posted.

Is it satisfactory?

@Feisty-Pants

I thought she had been an initiate.

Who trained her to use blades like that?

How did she not get hit?

There are questions.

Star Wars: Rebel Scum | Recruiting because of bailouts.

I got a CS up!

Bear in mind that this is the first time I ever participate in a Star Wars RP, and my knowledge of the universe is not very deep, hench my backstory might be a little vague.

If there's anything that's missing, or that I got wrong about the lore, do feel free to mention it :)

My Hider

Name: Saleen Re’Revoure
Race: Human, Caucasian/Blond
Gender: Female
Age: 27

Appearance:
A quick summary of Saleen’s physical appearance would be a healthy and strong frame, perhaps a little amazonian in appearance. She adheres to a regime of heavy physical training, and thus has a medium to heavy frame. She is by no means a bodybuilder, but has gained a visible sturdiness from her training. Strong arms, strong back, and stronger legs which might give her a slightly bottom heavy look. She is very tall as well, standing at 6.1ft in height.

Her hair is golden blond, and she usually has it in the form of a ponytail.

Equipment:
Saleen carries a lot of personal gadgets and home-made armor. The base of her attire consists of a simple yet flexible skin tight and elastic jumpsuit that can withstand the vacuum of space, and also offers decent protection against the elements, be it heat or cold. Over her jumpsuit, she wears an assortment of different plates of metal armor latched and bonded onto her suit in a rather crude fashion, consisting of mainly five pieces, a helm, a chestguard with pauldrons, a pair of heavy gloves running to her elbows, and a pair of heavy boots running up to her knees and a pair of heavy cuisses protecting her front thighs.

Although her armor is crude and heavy, it does offer good protection. She can shrug off most lower caliber shots that hits her armored plates. Her jumpsuit however offers no protection if hit.

Her helmet is a heavier version of a pilot’s helmet, with sloped armor running out across the sides of her face into the shape of a rising eagle, and a blue, one way shaded visor in front. She has a camera and flashlight attached to the side of her helmet, enabling her to record the battlefield and relay information back to a central command, or store it for use or analysis later. Out from behind her helmet flows a large, white ponytail that runs down to her back. It is not her actual hair, but artificial hair attached to the helmet itself for no other reason than vanity. Her helmet also has a connection to a small oxygen tank built into the back of her chestplate in the form of two redundant plastic cables.

The metal’s default color is that of a darker gray, but parts of its surface has been painted abyss black, with silvery lines running in intricate patterns across the plates. At the base of her belt in front, she wears a blue loincloth hanging from her lower waist.

Due to her background as an artist, she also spends a lot of time decorating her armor. The concept of camouflage is alien to her, as she values appearance over disappearance whether it be on the battlefield or in social circles. This can be seen in the delicate and intricate patterns that she so often paints on her armor, or the animal feathers that she uses to decorate her underlines of her shoulderpads with.

Weapons:
- Heavy Repeating Blaster(main). Her heavy Repeating Blaster is her prime weapon of choice. It requires two hands to wield, and can be attached to her specialized energy backpack with a cord to remove the need to switch individual power cells. Like her armor, she has painted her weapon as well and embellished it with intricate symbols and designs of silver on a pitch black surface. It has an in-built targeter connected to her visor that enables her to see where she is aiming even while firing from the hip, thus eliminating the need for aiming down sight unless hit by an electromagnetic blast.

- Slug-thrower pistol. Her sidearm is a slug pistol that fires physical bullets as opposed to blaster rounds, and uses a high caliber. Only has eight rounds.

- Her melee weapon is a small, jagged and electric machete that can be electrically charged to stun opponents upon touching a conductive surface.

Gadgets:
- Rangefinder. Essentially a more future version of a set of binoculars which can zoom in on distant targets, as well as have a nightvision and thermal mode that can be toggled on or off.
- 3 smoke grenades and 3 neurotoxin grenades at the bottom front of her chestplate. They look dangerously similar.
- Ammo backpack. Carries a jet black backpack overfilled with energy cells for her blaster. Heavy, unwieldy, but carries enough energized death to fight to fire for a long time. Can be connected directly into her repeater through an insulated cable so that she doesn’t have to switch individual energy cells during battle.
- Her boots are magnetic, and she has small thrusters attached to her armor that enables her to maneuver around in zergo-G environments. Thrusters are too weak to work in normal gravity however.

Strengths:
- Is heavily armored from the front and somewhat from the sides. It is from behind that she is the least armored, as her jumpsuit is mostly exposed from the beginning of her lower back and down to her knees.
- Her suit can operate in hostile environments and without oxygen for minutes. This renders her immune to most chemical and biological attacks, and she can walk outside of spaceships.
- Has a lot of utility items.

Weaknesses
- Values appearance over camouflage. Stands out like a sore thumb a lot of the time due to her liberated artistic soul.
- While she is strong, she is still weighed down somewhat by her excessive equipment and armor
- Lacks real training. Prefers to overcome foes through superior firepower or brute force.

Background:
Saleen was born into a rather boring upper middle income family on Coruscant, sharing the space with only her older sister. Very early in her life, she decided that she wanted to become an artist, and so convinced her parents to let her go to art school at the later stages of her education. She managed to enter one of the more prestigious art schools on the planet. But she often got into arguments with her peers as she had a tendency to criticize their work rather verbally, and she took grave offense at the slightest unfavorable murmur towards one of her own projects. This went to the point that there were episodes where she engaged in fights with her fellow students and even smashed their projects. This got to the point where she once proclaimed the destruction of an large glass construct by one of her fellow classmates, as an act of art itself to show the futility of life itself against the currents of change. Most of her fellow students did not share her perspective, and Saleen eventually got expelled from the school.

Blaming her failure on the lack of personal inspiration rather than social etiquette, Saleen wanted to get some inspiration for future artwork and decided that dangers and adventure was the way to go, as she had ‘learned’ through the consumption of a great volume of books and movies.

Deciding that she wanted to become a mercenary and bounty hunter, she bought herself a blaster, a cool leather outfit and went straight to the outer rim with only a brief goodbye to her parents, telling them she was on an art project.

Her confidence soared after the success of her first mission, which consisted of guarding a spice shipment, with a rather hefty pay. The fact that absolutely nothing had happened during the actual mission short of a near crash with another cargo freighter didn’t stop Saleen from taking the success as a sign that she was a natural talent within the mercenary business.

Her second mission did not go as well. Emboldened, she signed up for a bounty to take down a jedi and his padawan on a desert world. However, the mission failed when the jedi lured Saleen and her fellow bounty hunters into a rancor lair, and the whole bounty ended with a team of terrified bounty hunters with Saleen in front running away for their lives whilst screaming on the top of their lungs!

After failing her first bounty mission, she decided to go back to armed escort services instead. Her third mission was therefore to guard a large fuel shipment on the same desert world. But when the shipment was attacked by raiders, a fight broke out between the mercenaries and raiders. The raiders ceased their attack however when a stray shot from Saleen’s blaster set off a chain reaction among the fuel tank and blew the entire convoy up, throwing mercenaries and raiders skyhigh! Saleen was badly damaged during the explosion, but managed to limp back to a speeder, return to the nearest settlement, and get a ticket off-world before her customer could learn what had happened to his shipment.

After that mission, Saleen decided to invest in her own personalized suit of armor and weaponry, and took on a series of other missions with varying degrees of success. Up until that point, her only contact with the rebels had been through sporadic and mostly uneventful encounters with their people. She usually steered clear of them, with the exception of one mission where she was hired by a local to trash a bar that was secretly used as a hub by the rebels, resulting in a frantic firefight that ravaged half the town in a chaotic free-for-all between mercenaries, local police, criminals, empire soldiers, local militia and rebels. It was not until she was contacted by her sister, which by that point was working for the rebels, that she was persuaded to, if not help them, work for them as a hired gun. Personally, Saleen was quite curious about the rebels, having heard many romantic stories about the great adventures they partook upon at local taverns and bars. Believing that an experience within the rebels was just what her artistic integrity needed, Saleen decided to join them. She only hopes none of the rebels she met would remember her from her last meeting with them.

@Rithy

I'm not gonna comment on anything on the history, not read it.

Armour) Metal armours gonna get you killed. Lasers are hot and heat things up, you're gonna cook in that suit. Duraplast is the standard for most armours, or it could be plasteel.... one of the two. Basically its made to be heat absorbing so you don't just cook.

The onesie isn't too bad.

You probably won't get to go into battle with mix-match painted armour.

If it doesn't cover your whole face, it's quite ineffectual for zero-g.

Rangefinder just call them holobinoculars :P

Everything else, I'll leave up to Seuss as I'm not a GM or a Co-GM. I just know my shiiit.
