You Are

reminds me of how some people describe a dragon's interpretation of the world XD the simple matter is that it's different from our own, and funny enough I like different! XD

Hmmm, not quite how I planned to have him get 'trapped and overload to save himself', but you know what they say about best laid plans XD ADAPT!

Just be sure I got it right 'later spawn' means 'younger', and 'earlier spawn' means older, right? XD

You Are

well then, bitch slap them and get them to do it DX<

Fallout: Equestria - Once Upon a Time in the wasteland

Symphony's ears instantly flitted back at the sound of the room's other occupants moving, swiveling slightly at them before turning forward again to catch his sonics more directly again... for a short time he ignored sound's commentary about his sonics, relishing in the relieve it created instead and slowly began to ease off of the sounds once his intentions were completed, only to tense just slightly at the sudden patting on his back.

He took a short moment to bring his collar up and snap it back into place on his neck, a strange musical tone slipping out of his mouth when it did, then he finally turned to lock eyes on the earth-pony behind him, his voice displaying a familiar practiced musical tone once more "Actually, I drink quite often for fun, I suppose it helps that I have a personalized Hang-over cure to fix negate the suffering, and a method of tracking down anything stolen during my vulnerable moments... I promise you, if you ever drink yourself unconscious you'll be 'wishing' you woke up to that 'ungodly noise'... Better to be excruciating for a minute than agonizing for hours... though I do hope you have a better ear for lovely sound than that, 'music' is kindof my thing and you're going to be hearing a lot of 'noise' from 'me'."

with this done he quickly retrieved his saddlebags, pausing to give them a little sniff before strapping them down and stretching out as thoroughly as he could once more"As for me, I already ate a snack, though I would not be opposed to something else to eat, I should warn you though, 'cute' as I am, I am indeed 'carnivorous' by preference" He paused to accentuate this by licking at his terribly sharp teeth for but a moment "Though proudly 'NOT' cannibalistic, so no need to drum up those old fears... I do kindof like fruit too though."

"That said, I am going to assume that the 2 of you are here because you dragged me up here after I passed out yesterday, even going so far as to find my key without stealing anything, which is more than can be said of 'some' ponies these days... hrm, I would apologize for unusual behavior during my intoxication, I have a habit of getting strangely both 'dark' and 'affectionate' at the same time."

He quickly noticed though that the other's were prepared to move ahead already 'Lovely, It's nice to wake up to somepony that isn't painfully slow in the mornings... Luna knows, it took me years to get a routine down that'd shrug off the mornings!' It was sudden that a puff of black mist saw him vanish from sight, only for another similar puff to have him appear once more on the other side of Sound and Sparks, a lot closer than before and with a playful little chirp from his throat spoke again "That's funny, I once met someone who was absolutely enamored with fancy buck cakes... I never did understand why it hit them so hard, I swear it bordered on addiction!... Hrm, I don't quite recall if I introduced myself or not last night, so just incase, My Name is Midnight Symphony... I believe the bar does provide food, but while their booze is strong their food is sub-par... If you want a proper meal, I suggest we make our way to the bridge where the caravan should be waiting, get our down-payment, and use a piece of the time we still have here to get a quality meal at a nearby restaurant, and perhaps stock up on a bit of extra... Though the caravan does tend to keep a considerable stock of Rations, they are 'most definitely' stale but edible."

with that he suddenly 'poof' vanished again, reappearing in the hallway facing Sound through the open door with a playful grin "Shall we 'away'?" and off he started trotting.

________________________________________

The 'offer' from Thunder to booby trap the stores of the Caravan was politely declined, Security of stock was certainly important, but it was proffered to ensure the 'integrity' of the stock as well... plus, it was let slip a bit that they had their own methods in place for tracking down anything that was stolen, courtesy of someone else who traveled with the Caravan.

________________________________________

Breaker awoke to find that his 'fun night' had slipped out from under his hooves while he slept, of course the hang-over couldn't compare to the satisfaction he'd gotten from the previous night, just a simple mumble slipping out "That little guy is tougher than he looks, hahah." Before long he climbed out of bed himself, fore-going the issue of bathing for getting his armor and fresh traveling cloak back on... Of course this meant he stank of sex as he came into the hall-way at just about the same time a certain thestral and other companion's were coming out of their own room, providing a leisurely little wave and a big grin "well, good morning 'companions to be', Lovely morning isn't it?"

The Thestral very easily figured out what had happened the previous night by the scent allover the bigger stallion, actually earning a bit of a blush from him before he got to work clearly trying to ignore that, and the fact that the big pony appeared just suddenly join them on their way down to the bar.

The Gamer Squad: An Ode to the Retro and New Generation (Now with 80% less Glitches!)

posted in 2 separate posts for organizations sake :D

Kenneth the Brony:

Image

The main difference is that the Gem on his chest Is Silver, and has 6 smaller gems embedded it, each of a different color and each a 'hint' at something.

Name: Kenneth Tomlinson
Nickname: Richard
"Game Master" Title: The Bronylock
Gender: Male
Chosen Game Mastery: Brony Games

Preferred Weapon(s)/Power-Up(s): Fists, Claws, Feet, Teeth, but most of all MAGIC! [you know what that means, fireballs, lasers, arcane swords, shape shifting], also the 'gem of harmony' stuck in his chest.

Gem Effects

Gem of Harmony: Replacing the considerable power contained in the soul gem worn by the warlock that he resembles suddenly, The Gem of harmony allows him to switch between the abilities emulating a certain collection of 6 mind bogglingly popular ponies and the 'elements' that they wield... This also leads to him altering his fighting style in relation to each one he activates.

The Gem is silver and currently has 3 smaller gems in it, An Amethyst 6 pointed star, a Ruby Lightning Bolt, and a Sunstone apple... it has 3 other spots on it that are currently empty.

Note: Each element has an 'avatar form' that enhances it's unique abilities for a while, to prevent 'abuse' the elements cannot be traded out until he has finished recovering form an avatar form's backlash.

I should also note, he has to generally figure out how to use each of the things mentioned below XD since they don't automatically come with knowledge and experience, though they do come with familiars to help him along.

Non-aligned

No Element Activated: These are replaced with stuff described under the elements.
Slightly above average Human physical capabilities + Richard Claws
'undead' = Immune to non magical or weak attacks
Doesn't have a pony on his shoulder
'Life steal' effect applied to attacks
Seems to permanently have a 'pinkie pie' familiar following him around... one can only assume it's because she is somehow not bound by the 4th wall.

Magic

Physically Fragile, good speed and stamina though
Enhanced Cognitive Functions
wings - Okay for flight, but not especially strong
MAGIC!
Large Magic pool
He also acquires 'Twilight Sparkle' on his shoulder as a Familiar, and his out-fit altering to resemble her color scheme.
Gains the ability to 'see' and 'analyze' magic.

As 'magic', His tactics focus on adaptive use of magic, trying to keep balanced and avoid losing effectiveness even up close, in exchange for not specializing in one particular range. Shields, Levitation, elemental magic, and lesser mana beams become common, Some more advanced magic such as teleportation, Invisibility, or Healing may make appearances, but of course they drain his reserves faster. [There's actually a ludicrous variety of what 'magic' can do, hence why I'm employing a vague but specific limit on overall power reserves]

He can also utilize the 'avatar of magic' ability, though it only lasts a few minutes at a time and carries with it a long cooldown and a mild defeciency in his magic use after it's timed out, it increases his mana pool and provides a highly rapid magic regeneration, allowing him to use much more advanced spells far more often during it's duration.

while using Avatar of magic, he also gains the temporary ability to out-right copy magic effects used by enemies, but only for the duration of the ability.

Honesty

Physical Strength, Stamina, and Endurance gain a Large boost, Overall speed suffers somewhat.
Gains 'Truthsense'
Acquires 'applejack' on his shoulder as a familiar, similar color scheme, and a 'Stetson' on his head.
Gains 'PUSH ON!'

As 'Honesty' his tactics turn a lot more 'heavy handed', taking advantage of the increased strength and endurance to weather enemy attacks and try to push through them to gain advantageous chances to deliver a crippling blow... unless of course it's an obviously stupid thing to try and shove through.

Truth-sense causes 'lies' to cause him physical pain, allowing him to easily discern when someone is lying, as well as making him immune to the befuddling effects of illusions, though the physical pain can have quite disruptive effect on his behavior... aka, lies and illusions make him very angry.

'PUSH ON' is an ability that allows him, short term when injured, ignore his injuries and 'push on' as if he weren't hurt while shrugging off further damage for a short time.

Activating 'Avatar of Honest' will multiply his strength and endurance several times more and allows him to regenerate damage for a time, with similar duration and cooldown to all other Avatar abilities. when it times out though it leaves him thoroughly 'exhausted' until he can rest.

Loyalty

Strength at normal levels, Speed, Stamina, agility, and endurance greatly enhanced.
wings! - strong wings, great for flight and manuevering, allow for extremely agile flight
Gains 'weather Effect'
Gains 'Inspiration Aura'
Gains 'Imposing Aura'
Gains 'Life link' Ability
Acquires a 'rainbow dash' familiar

As Loyalty, His tactics rely on Overwhelming speed and agility put into intense high velocity attacks to deal damage despite his only average strength, and using his endurance and stamina to weather to backlash of his own attacks, and relies especially heavily on his flight abilities both for avoidance and combined with weather ability to create unusual attacks.

'weather effect' is a natural trait of his familiar, allowing him to walk on or move clouds [and crash into them coincidentally], Attack clouds to forceibly release whatever weather effect they were building, use velocity to create wind effects, and so on and so forth. It also makes him resistant to some weather hazards such as lightning and rain, but more succeptible to others like wind and cold.

Inspiration Aura is meant to supply an exciting 'rush' to allies to drive them to push harder in a battle.

Imposing aura, contrastingly, Is meant to inspire cowardice or fear in weaker enemies.

Both auras do not work very well if he is zipping about in the air.

'Life link' allows him to 'connect' with allies, causing wounds they take to partially heal, in exchange for suffering roughly half of what was healed... while not reccomended, he can supposedly target an enemy with it so that injury 'he' takes is imparted onto them.

The Avatar of loyalty ability Greatly boosts his speed and endurance even further, and allows his life link to fully heal allies for minimal damage to himself and reducing the results of previous life links to similar levels. with his further enhanced speed he can also pull off the emergency manuevers 'rainboom' and 'sonic rainboom' [A large Explosive impact, and aerial shock-wave respectively], though either one, when completed, results in cancling out Avatar form and immediately kicking in it's backlash. when this times out it will generally leave him achingly exhausted.

Background: Kenneth put a lot into making it unnoticeable in real life that he was a brony, putting himself off instead as a 'slightly broody lover of dark things', particularly games such as dar souls or dark-siders... He actually gets his nickname from the fact that he's often seen with some image of 'Richard the warlock' on him, and even does a perfect immitation of his creepy voice. Despite his naturally 'withdrawn and broody' habits he actually tends to be quite the conversationalist outside of the public eye, in a good mood, or when deep in a good game.

Other:
"FOR PONY!" - Richard the warlock's actual Favored Battlecry.
"REJOICE!... For bad thing are about to happen!"
"Oh, walk it off you pussy!"
"Look at my horse, My horse is amazing!"

Twilight... Pony or not, Magic is awesome!

Here's the set I came up vvith for the gunner, all of the abilities are from the game, except for G-4 and G-5, and the 'general skills' are generalized instead of boringly listing a set of predefined skills that all fall under the same category anyvvay.

Image of Character:

Normal

Gunner

Name: Emilian Jacobson

Nickname: Emmy

"Game Master" Title: The Dungeon Buster

Gender: Male

Chosen Game Mastery: Dungeon Fighter Online, Gunner Class

Preferred Weapon(s)/Power-Up(s):

Gunner Only: Launcher Multi-gun, Dual Hand-cannons, Dual Auto-guns [Their version of 'semi-auto pistols'], Mechreation, FEET!, Grenades, Ammunition types, Explosives... Lots of shooty stuff!

I Figured something out =D Mostly in term of balancing things out, such as certain abilities not working in certain worlds, or becoming properly 'ammo based', and in some worlds based on technology he might be able to modify his weapons more permanently :D

General Gunner Stuff

Leg-work: Since a gunner's hands tend to be busy with weapons, They tend to do a lot of practice using their legs for when Melee is required, nevermind that having to be able to keep ones distance from the target is a vital skill and leads to strong legs in the first place.

Ammo Swap: Any Competent gunner is going to carry different types of ammo for when normal bullets just won't cut it. Silver Bullets, Cryo Shot, Incendiary Rounds, Armor piercing.

Gun-work: A Gunner's job is never as simple as 'point and shoot', one must adapt their gun-play for different situations, not to mention be able to use different guns and be able to reload quickly.

Grenades: Sometimes, bullets just won't do the job, so Naturally a gunner carries around explosives! Standard Frag Grenades, Cryo and Incendiary, and of course some C-4 for that extra 'boom'.

Heavy weaponry

Hand Cannons: No, not 'big pistol', proper one handed cannons, pack a monster of a punch and kick back of course, also pretty damn sturdy. Considerably short ranged, but can be charged to gain some extra range and blast.

X-Thrower: Flame-thrower style weapon, Able to spew the usual gout of flame, but can be changed to tighten into a stream, or over-charged to releast a veritable whirl-wind of it's load. It can actually be loaded with different types of magic from someone else, though on it's own it only work for launching Fire or wind.

Launcher Multi-gun: A Large Rifle-like cannon, capable of taking different modes of fire to change it's out-put. It's standard mode shoots a single large Rifle bullet that is known to pierce targets before exploding.

It can change modes to a chargeable Laser Rifle, or a launcher to produce a small remote clusterbomb projectile.

Spectral Search Eye: Special tool allowing the gunner to target enemies of a greater range than usual.

Mech stuff

G-Class Support Mecha: Mites: A Collection of Small Variable mecha that perform various formations, attacks, or combinations to support their Gunner Master. They appear to be mechanical spiders roughly the size of a small dog [like, a shittzu], and normally cling to the Gunner's jacket to provide additional protection from behind. The standard number is 12 total, though with the right materials he can build more of them.

G-1: Corona: The Mites form together into a Cannon like shape, firing small explosive energy projectiles in an arching pattern towards their targets. It takes 6 Mites to make one Corona.

G-2: Rolling Thunder: Mites form a Small Cylendrical Device with rotating Electrified edges, levitating before it's user to attempt to block for-ward attacks or to bash into enemies who come close. It takes 2 Mites to make a Roller.

G-3: Raptor: The Mites change to an offensive mode, taking up a satellite like appearance and circling above the gunner waiting for targets to be designated. when given one, the Raptors will cycle small laser beams at the target.

G-4: Aegis: Mites take up position on the Gunner's arm, tightening their metal bodies to form a heavily armored shield specifically blocking attacks, though obviously weighing dow. It takes 6 mites to make a basic buckler, double the number can be used to charge the shield for greater defense. with a large enough number the shield can also be big enough to plant for dedicated cover.

G-5: Beetle: A Large number of Mites join together to make a Sizeable Beetle like construct, though it is durable with it's hard shell, and dangerous with a horn, It's not generally used for the purpose of fighting, so much as transportation. It takes 12 Mites to make a basic transport beetle including hover and climbing function, 24 to make one that is larger and armored, and at least 30 to make one that can transport more than 2 individuals at once.

Mecha Summoning: The Main Magic based ability of Mechanic Gunners, allowing them to summon a variety of pre-built Mecha... They of course have to actually 'build' these Mecha before use, or find one to add to their collection.

EX-S Viper: A Medium Sized Cannon Turret Mecha, Stationary when summoned and firing large flaming projectiles at it's targets.

Air Mech 'Tempester': A Man sized aerial combat Mecha, Possesses flight, a Machine arm, shield arm, and back released Rockets.

Sparrow Factory: A 'deployment' style mecha, Stationary when summoned, it constructs 'sparrow' mecha, at a moderate rate until it runs out of power.

Sparrow: Small flying mecha with dual micro-cannons for attacking targets, use fly-by and dive-bombing targets, Suicide when damaged.

Gaebolg-Fist: An incomplete part of an especiaally Giant Mecha, only the fist is complete at the time, but can still be used to 'punch' through a large portal.

G-0 Battledroid: A combination of Mecha summoning and Mites, using 'small' portals to summon the pieces that fall into place, and the Mites to clamp everything into place. It possess a Machine gun attached to both fists and knees, Grenade launchers in it's shoulders, and an array on it's back, fragile mind you, that charges and releases homing lasers.

Background: Emmy is a bit of a 'wild child' type, typically a nice guy and excessively cheery, ever the type to seek thrills, whether it's skating along in busy places, goin crazy in a night club, or unloading at the city's local gun-range. He loves flashy things, explosions, mecha, and NOISE!, it's no wonder things tend to sound pretty wild whenever he sits down for a game... He 'is' a good sport about things, pranks, jokes, jabs, jests, and so on... but when he gets ahold of a controller he is also the type reffered to as a 'Sultan of Slam', though he keeps it to tasteful jokes with friends, he pulls no verbal punches with enemies.

Other: The gunner! he has no name, just a big gun!

"Say hello to my little friend!"
"This if my Rifle, this is my Gun!, Both are for fighting, Both are for fun!"

Fallout: Equestria - Once Upon a Time in the wasteland

Once Deposited on the couch, Symphony will have shifted a bit onto his back, curled his legs against his body, and instinctively close his wings around himself for warmth, and slip right back into adorable little squeaky snores... totally oblivious to the noise going on in the next room over.

_________________________________________

Breaker... well, Half the tavern probably knew what he got up to... For Thunder's sake, hopefully he doesn't quite live up to his name!

_________________________________________

The next morning, around roughly 9am, The Caravan was in the midst of being set-up and organized for the road, a Caravan of 5 Carriages lined up half-way between the bridge and the Statue itself.

The front and rear Carriages are made of Steel, armor plated and contain a pillbox ontop for somepony to shoot from, as well as armored windows, and contain a light levitation engine that will lessen their load on the pony pulling it. For the most part these contain weapons and ammo, along with other important supplies or packages. On each of these stood 3 guard, the rear One had 3 of the General combat armored guards on it, and the front Carriage contrasted with 3 guards in 'cleaned' raider-like metal armor... it seemed that one of the 'plain guards' may have been substituted for a metal-head.

The 3 Between these are made of a mix of wood and steel, hold most everything else, and keep a bit of room free for exhausted or injured passengers. They have a roof hatch for easier access while on the move, and plated rails to avoid falling off, but otherwise anypony ontop protecting it will be pretty exposed, especially from above. There were a couple of other hired guards lingering on the rooves of these as well.

There were also several Brahmin and other much smaller caravan's lingering about to piggyback on the 'safety zone' of traveling with a properly heavily armed caravan, of course contributing a guard or 2 or their own and a bit of payment.

The Two business ponies that were running it were waiting near the rear cart, a few other Caravaneers and a couple of what seemed like 'fancier' business ponies with then conversing about something. The pair were keeping an eye out though, and anypony that arrived to the caravan received their 'down payment' immediately, in the form of a small, launched, sack of Caps coming their way with the 100 cap payment, and a reminder that they'd be leaving at 10am.

[that'll orchestrate the ability to just go about your 'preparations' in the same post if you'd like to get all that done at once ^.^]

_________________________________________

Being Naturally acclimated to the darkness tended to make the transition to 'sun-light' more jarring than most ponies... Hence Symphony waking up as soon as the sun-light started to peek in through the windows of the room, urging a quiet but high pitched yawn from him coupled with stretching out... and 'then' realizing that for some reason there vas a mare in his bed and a Stallion on the couch with him 'woah... what in tartarus did I do last night?' The confusion lasted all of about 3 seconds before his head split wide open... or, felt like it, calling forth a little whimper as he rolled off of the couch and hugged his head a little 'FUCK!... that explains it... Oh, Ally, must thee be such a cruel mistress?!... better get to fixing this I suppose.'

He jumped right into his morning routine, despite the still dozing company, and set to grooming his mane an tail first, stripping out of, and storing, his 'civilization suit', and replacing it with a set of blackened, anti-shined, leather armor... This was immediately followed by a minor breakfast of cleaning meat chunks off of a Shish-kebab, and then a short-term removal of his collar.

Chances are the other 2 would be awoken by the pulsing sound that came next...

Symphony had himself sat down in a corner of the room, releasing obviously 'batty' sounds at the wall, a high pitched pulse rebounding off of it and leading to him wincing sharply after each... though as this continued the wincing died down and little by little the repeating sound turned into a soft, steady, tone.

HAh... I remember LOL... watch out people... I might bring out Maw or Swain >:D And thee shall rue the day! AND ALL OTHER DAYS!

Edit: SHIT!, Disgaea! Add that to the list =3 I saw someone mention it! I adore disgaea! XD

And awwwww, I like megaman DX

Modern Military/Sci-Fi [Metal Gear-esque]

i would like peacewalker, given i saw mention ofa 'base' and I like building bases XD but I don' thave a PS3, stupid exclusives!

And yeah, Rising got a LOT of shit thrown at it because it took metal gear out of the stealth theme and into the anime-like action heavy theme... It kindof makes a mockery of 'stealth' in some places, but overall it was fun, one just has to realize, a game series does not have to be restricted to only one style of game [I.e. Stealth for Metal gear, or 'survival horror' for Dead space... Dead space 3 hardly qualifies as 'horror' so much as just dark and full of shooting monsters XD]
