The 42nd Gecko

The War of the Three

@Flamelord It seems at first glance that her combat personality is when she suddenly becomes sensible and not crazy, but it's actually not. After every battle, she declares to the high queen that her treatment of humanity is unacceptable blah blah card games blah, and that she's leaving.

But after a week or two of being gone, her non-combat personality takes over and she always comes back, and both her personalities always forget. The High Queen puts up with her once-a-battle temper tantrum because, well, she's a person who, even if she can't beat them, can trade blows with faction leaders.

However, for this idea, I suppose I should ask the GMs if Eos actually WOULD put up with that.

The War of the Three

@TheWindel Still, that's not something Alexi would tolerate. Got a bit of a fun idea for why she'd still inexplicably be on team machina though.

The War of the Three

@TheWindel If that's how things work, Alexi would not fight for the Machina. I thought most humans in Hyperion were basically pets in the sense of "here's luxury because we're in a post scarcity society, enjoy, now stay out of our way while we wage war".

If they're enslaved/soldiers/experiments, Alexi would have never joined them, and if that's a recent development, she would have left them and not fought for them.

The War of the Three

@Lonewolf685 I'd love to do something like that. Do you have any ideas?

The War of the Three

@Lonewolf685@TheWindel@KoL Say, which of you guys was the Amazons again?

I had a lot of fun playing Zyata, even as short as it was. I kinda want to do some slice of life roleplaying with them. But that may just be my "oh, got all my characters killed, gotta find something else to do for the rest of the battle" kicking in.

The War of the Three

@Lonewolf685 Not only that, but I've already had two characters jump in and die.

But now I've got two characters that can participate in the going to go horribly wrong jailbreak on Iona!

The War of the Three

@TheWindel I'm not sure we need more machina players actually. Despite already losing two characters, the Machina still have more remaining players on the field than the other factions.

Team Machina: Cherry, Grafdakka, Hibiki, Shizuka, Marquis, Bonesword, Titania, Bastion, Alexi, Ni-Mu
Team Angel: Abigail, Tartys, Zak, Syphax, Omega, Hilda, ?Zeruel?, Cydone
Team Demon: Henry, Gelgath, Ira?, Victoire, Balrog

As per this, I think it's clear that team Demon is the one suffering for players. No worries, Artoria is here now. :P

The War of the Three

@Lmpkio We don't have many machina characters that are not almost entirely humanoid when you get right down to it. There's Grafdakka who doesn't bother with looking like a human, and then that's kinda it. Many of the character either could totally pass for cyborgs or humans in techno gear(Cherry, Eos, Zealot), or are a robot in a very humanoid shape (Marquis), effectively a robot made human.

The War of the Three

@Lmpkio That's why I suggested you have this character be a Charlie instead of a character.

The War of the Three

@TheWindel Indeed. I could expand upon the history, but really, the high point of it is the connection with Hohenheim, which is already in the opening blurb.

I could also expand on personality, but when has that not dramatically changed between CS and actual play for me yet?
