The Play/Tech Expo, a safe haven for nerds, a beacon for geeks everywhere, and Armada knew exactly how to draw the crowd. Several monitors were mounted around the booth, some showing off gameplay from Armada's latest stream while other giving showcases to the newest PC and accessories. Kids walking with their parents would stop to line up to watch their favorite streamer, eyes widening with excitement, whilst adult nerds stood in awe to the prowess displayed. Armada kept his eye on the kids, a smile sinking deep on his face, ecstatic to see that he was making am impact. Suddenly the best idea crawled it way into his cranium, forcing the streamer extraordinaire grab the nearest chair and hoist himself up on the nearest table at this booth.

"Come on, come all." Armada's voice boomed from the speakers strategically stationed around his both, "Am I happy to see you all, supporting a legend such as myself. I know see the gameplay and wonder why a legend such as I would dare grace you with his presence?"

The people watched intently to his every word. No matter how overconfident or cocky he spoke, it was like he had them entranced, his charisma oozing out, ensnaring them all like honey.

"See in reality, I wouldn't be here without all of you. You, my loyal Admirals, inspire everyday to go and do my best. Your hopes. Your dreams. All in my hands. I will always your best interest. And for those that aren't part of The Fleet, we welcome you with open arms. Come. Subscribe and join The Fleet. May you dream sail on peaceful seas. And please check out the new Scrapple 1080x graphic card at our booth, and use my tag ARMADA#1 for a discount."

The crowd had only grown larger as the technological hero spoke, for they followed him with little fealty. Everything he said was simple, so simple that any streamer could follow him and yet none could match his popularity. Did Armada believe anything he said? To be honest, it didn't matter for his loyal fans only cared that he spoke to them. For now, that adulation was all he needed to keep his place in the upper echelons of the hero food chain. His eyes trailed the showroom floor until it would meet one of the other heroes known as Ladyice, a devious smirk crossing his face. Suddenly a voice diverted his attention.

"Hey, Nerd."

"If ain't Casanova in the flesh."

The most genuine smile of the day was given to the one and only Jimmy Casanova, Armada's best friend.
I'll have a post up tomorrow night or Saturday
@Taka
Right, so is his name Justin or Armada?

Anyways, there's no truly scientific method of getting to the giga-techno-wizardry that a Talent can accomplish. Rather than collaborating with scientists and engineers to create gear, he'd have actually be collaborating with artists and people from marketing to design props that look like sci-fi gadgets. After that, they'd basically be working overtime to make sure that the public believes those props to be worthwhile, before they become functional as actual gadgets.

Also.

There are no terrorists. Do not use any word that contains 'terror', because those words do not exist in the dictionary.

In a similar vein, what is an Esports World Champion, if there is only the City? Cybernetics, like I explained for Psykers, also don't actually exist at a functional level yet, unless they are associated with an existing Talent.

Justin is real name but Armada would be the public facing identity.

I can change the NPC to the marketing Lead Designer or something.

Well not terrorists then but still a group of baddies if that's fine? Id assume supervillains would be a prevalent thing if we got heroes.

As long as people compete, world champion will be the title even if its not encompassing the world.

So I guess cybernetics would just be associated with him then? In the "public believes I have powers so I have powers" kind of way.

David S. Rhodes - Founder of TEAM Respawn and target of many rumors that he is the supervillain The UNKNOWN King, leader of UNKNOWN.

Dr. Rohan Caine - Head Engineer and Scientist that helps Armada create his gear.

Jimmy Casanova - A Supermodel Hero and Justin's best friend.


@Taka: I asked for you to heavily discuss it with me to hash out any details, and you never really did.

I wanted to see you actually write up the backstory before you moved forward with anything approaching this idea, because it's crucial to actually make it make sense with already-established characters and Fanilly's character and backstory as well.

This, too, you never really did.

There was a reason I wanted this, so I could look at what you had in mind and detail and tell you what did or didn't work, especially since he would be one of multiple characters involved in Fanilly's training. One of her trainers already exists in the RP, so you'd need to be coordinated with that to work.

There's also stuff here you didn't mention to me, which is why I wanted you to give me a more completed bio to look at and talk about.


I...agree. That's why I didn't do that backstory yet. I wanted to ask first. I only posted what I had completed to show that I had something unlike the last time we talked. I had planned to message after work which just so happens to be now. So that I had the okay to still make the backstory or else I'd just write something different.
<Snipped quote by Taka>

are you sure that will end well for you


I don't why you being snarky to me when I haven't done anything to you or anyone. I'm compliant with needing to change and any changes from my last conversation with the GM.
