Transformers: To save Cybertron

I'm planning my first IC post and want to make it a strong first post, so I just wanted to confirm with our RP GM if us players are allowed to control NPC characters as needed.

@Stella:You know, you have 3 weapons and no ability for OpticaBut I was thinking, in all reality she actually has 1 ability and 2 weapons.The grappling hook function she has, though usable as weapon, is an all reality a abilityJazz (an NPC) aslo has a grappling hook, though his differs from yours in some key ways:-such as energon cant be broken by physical force and sticks to stuff what increases its uses though it lacks offence it is prefect for pulling open stuff and get around to everywhere due to the stickyness, its other limit that due to the users energon levels he cant do more then 1 at a time.-A Physical one however can be dual equipped and used as yours, giving unique ways of getting around and it can be used as a weapon as well due to its piercing trait and basically has no real downsides aside that someone might break the cable with a well aimed hit, though that will require a lot of force.

I was torn between categorizing the grappling hook as weapons or ability, so that is why I took out the Ability section to make it an "implied ability". Is it alright if I re-add the Ability section with the Grappling Hooks in both the Weapons and Ability sections?

Also to clarify, metal cables tend to have high strength along their length (meaning they can pull extreme weights) but can be easily cut along their width with a bladed weapon or a well-placed shot. Not to mention the potential "nightmare scenario" if two targets are grappled and they decide to move in opposite directions...

I'm not a physics expert at all, but just to clear up the pros/cons of the grappling hooks.

I think she could fit under either, but more towards warrior. So warrior it is.

Updated Optica's character sheet with an Earth vehicle form and added a sentence to specify that her damaged body was repaired by Autobot medics: http://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/2131710

@Drake I originally planned to find an earth vehicle form during the RP but I will make the changes later today.

Transformers: To save Cybertron

Name: Optica
Faction: Autobots
Type: Spec-Ops (Sabotage)
Alternate mode:

2015 Corvette Stingray

Appearance:

Optica

Personality: Cold, calculating, and ruthlessly efficient. Tends to work well with similarly-minded individuals.
Weapon types:

Dual Heavy Plasma Pistols

Small, but essentially handheld cannons. Well suited for melting through heavy armor and the vulnerable underlying parts.

Dual Palm-Mounted Grappling Hooks

Twin grappling hooks that can be fired from either of Optica's palms, attached through thick reinforced cables that can withstand extreme weights. Each hook can also be fired with enough power to act as kinetic energy penetrator weapons.

Tail-Mounted Plasma Cannon and Blade

A multi-function appendage accessible in Optica's robot form. It is equipped with an independent targeting system for its powerful mounted plasma cannon, allowing Optica to potentially engage up to 3 targets at once. It is an extension of her robotic frame's spine and is extremely durable. The tail appendage is also armed with a monoatomic edge for maximum cutting power in close-quarters combat.

Special Ability: Grappling Hooks - Besides being deadly weapons, the grappling hooks are also useful for closing - or increasing - the distance between Optica and her enemies.

History: Optica was a participant of the Cybertronian war. Having sustained severe battle damage to point where she was barely functional, Optica was rescued by the other Autobots and placed into emergency stasis as they escaped their home planet. The Autobot medics were able to repair Optica's heavily damaged body, but due to severe injuries she had sustained, more than 90 percent of her memory systems were corrupted and forever lost, leaving little intact besides her personality, skills, and ability to communicate. Robbed of her memories, Optica finds herself with friends she no longer remembers and caught in a war she doesn't understand.

If this will be a casual RP then count me in as interested. My Transformers knowledge is weak but I'm willing to freshen it up with research as I go along.

Living in Aincrad: a SAO RP

I'm just going to change it back to the original.

Living in Aincrad: a SAO RP

Edited Natsuki/Natsumi's character sheet to remove her perma-orange status: http://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/2048977

The edited character history is a bit weaker but will be easier to work with in the RP without the orange status.
