Hunter's Galaxy: A Space Opera RP [:(]

[Scorpia]

okay, i re- did a few things, i nerfed the cryo stuff from both Yilne and the ship. also i made it bigger with more "standard" weapons. anything you still have problems with please let me know.

_________________________

 

Name: Captain Yilne jiune Wvernaa

Gender: Male

Species: Jiespher (Amphibious Alien)

Age: 37 (middle aged, 3rd life cycle phase. a jiespher's body becomes unstable after roughly 92 years.)

Height: 5' 8"

Occupation/political: Private contractor. neutral allegiance. loyal to the highest bidder.

 

personal weapon: A standard Laser rifle

 

Physical Attributes: Yilne is a full grown adult male, mostly amphibian in appearance with Dark crimson skin. he's athletically slim build. his eyes are normal deep blue when he's inert, but they glow an erie White when he becomes emotionally disturbed. he also has several neural enhancements one is a language scanner, to aid with communication. the second is an atmospheric adaptation CPU, which changes air filters, or body mass to allow for differing planet's living conditions.

 

Personality: he's a very humble person, his ends never justify his own means. his personality is typical of the Jiespherion Race: very hard to read, always kind, distant, but never hesitant. usually very malevolent creatures.

 

Ship Name: xielumbus

Build: Light Corvette X3 (open to others...if this one doesn't fit the description/weapons)

Draft Length: 40 M

Speed: Low - medium

Agility: Low

Armor: Thick

Power Provision: High

Crew: 4 X3 (captain + AI + 2 crew)

 

Description: the colors are a very light blue with dark blue streaks. it's movement takes priority over it's weapons; the faster the ship goes the more the ship's offenses are compromised.

the ship itself is outfitted with a medium-intellect portable AI(named MIPAI). it's purposes are to ensure that only Yilne can pilot the craft, and to assure power consumption efficiency.

 

Service: Yilne was the participant of a card game at a space gambling ring where he put up one of his famous favors(these favors, once promised, can mean anything. Jiespherion inhabitants are honor bound to never break an oath of favor.) while the original owner of the Xielumbus put up the derelict Ship. Yilne won with a Royal-flush.

he's owned and operated the ship for 4 years.

 

Vessel Records (since obtained by Yilne): 26 Confirmed Kills, 13 Victories, 21 Damages, 4 Hull Rebuilds.

(if i can add more, i would. i just wasn't sure)

 

Utility weapons:

Targeting Buffer

 

Non-hardpoint utilities:

Bail-Out Systems

 

Non-Hardpoint Weapons:

Laser Cannon (Moniker: The Stimpson's Claw)

Psychotic Ninja (Invisible)- Ship acceptable. Please indicate if you're ready to play.

Luis (Great Fox)- Recommendations have been made. Please indicate if you're ready to play or going to be implementing them.

Madman (Abandoned One)- Recommendations have been made. Please indicate if you're going to be implementing them.

Srake (Tenrar)- Ship acceptable. Please indicate if you're ready to play.

Bill Ludwick (Xielumbus)- Ship Acceptable. Please indicate if you're ready to play.

Obsidian (Glain-Neidr)- Ship Acceptable. Please indicate if you're ready to play.

Lord Sinister - (Shadow Spear) Ship Acceptable, recommendations have been made however. Please indicate if you're ready to play.

 

Sorry this has been going on so slow everyone-

 

Once this gets going, I'd like to be able to have any situation thrown at you guys and you all manage to figure out the best way to win, as opposed to having contrived situations for you guys to survive, because of you all being a bunch of specialists.

 

Ooh, and I got a few questions from Bill in Steam:

• Can you repair your own ship?
   
  -That depends on the room your crew has to work with. Imagine the ability to do on-the-fly repairs inside a fighter jet, compared to a transport plane, compared to a naval destroyer. The answer is Yes, but To what extent changes depending on your Ship Build.
   
  Why are you being so picky about people's Ships?
   
  -Because once the game starts it's a lot easier to have Dynamic Characters than it is Dynamic Spaceships. Using that Team Fortress metaphor, this is indeed class selection, except its permanent- until if or when we need to weave into the story the Group Convoy stopping by Hankerin' Al's Discount Satelites & Rockets Emporium for someone to change their ship without breaking narrative.
   
  Why would anyone choose a Heavy Corvette over a Light Frigate? (Or other similar ship builds)
   
  -The bigger a ship is, the bigger its weapons are. The bigger its weapons are, the higher chance they have of success.
  The smaller a ship is, the more maneuverable it is and the harder it is to be hit. However remember that there's usually always a better pilot lurking somewhere...

[Scorpia]

Ready to play.

[Blue]

Righto then, I'll add you to accepted players.

[Psychotic Ninja]

Ready to play.

[Blue]

Added you as well, P. Ninja. I also modified myself, now I am a Heavy Frigate with a Strike Craft dock.

[Obsidian]

I'm ready to play.

[Srake]

Ready up.

[x]

[Luis]

I'm switching to an Interceptor or a Light Corvette. I'll post the new setups here as soon as I finish them. Please tell me which do you think would be more convenient (:

____________________________________________________________________________________________

 

Decided to go with an Interceptor.

 

Name: Garret Burton

 

Gender: Male

Species: 100% Human. Earth native. Mercenary

Age: 26

Height: 185cm

Physical Attributes: Looks like the average caucasian human for the rest of the Hunter's Galaxy, he's got an athletic body, what is expected from a mercenary. He's got brown eyes, a somewhat normal nose, bit bigger than usual, brown eyes, wide eyebrows and long, curled hair. Despite his short career as a mercenary (7 human years) he's already got some battle scars (physical and mental). His experiences on earth and in the outer space have made him a very sociable character, funny and easygoing but serious when it's about work or something valuable to him is compromised (Kinda like Goku from DBZ but less clowny)

Personality: He sticks to what he believes in (the old Declaration of human rights) which has caused some tensions with his alien employers and other creatures. Resembles a lot to a revolutionist from the beggining of the XXI century due to the strong beliefs his ascendancy had, people who fought for the water to be free for everybody on earth, equalty for the minorities of that time and corruption to be vanished off the political systems of Earth. Even so, he's a very open minded person in certain topics which could be considered as polemic (romantic relationships between different species, hybrid creatures born from these etc etc...)

Name: Kief-840

 

Gender: Robot

Age: 55 (human years)

Height: 170cm

Physical Attributes: Kief is a humanoid Robot designed for security agencies. His specialty is tracking ennemies across solar systems and environments where Radars aren't very effective like some uncommon asteroid belts or when in presence of jamming devices. He takes care of the radar, warning the pilot about new ennemies or incoming proyectiles and some other annoying alerts.

Personality: Typical robot that know how to follow orders. Has advanced knowledge of psichology built-in so he's the ideal travelmate for long runs. He ussually makes Garret angry when it uncovers the origins of his ocassional weird behaviour or feelings.

 

 

Ship Name: Arwing IV

 

Build: Interceptor (Bigger version of the Legendary Arwing from Space Dynamics, used by the Star Fox Team as assault ship)

Draft Length: 28 meters

Speed: Quite fast

Agility: Very Agile

Armor: Medium

Power Provision: Below Average

Crew: Garret Burton and Kief-840

Description: This ship's design is based on the well known Arwing used in the Lylat system by the Star Fox team. Retaining it's marvelous G-diffusers and speed capacity it's able to maintain assault in a planet's atmosphere or in the outer space with ease and superior handling and evasive maneuvers. It's interior is design to accomodate 3 full sized humans during long travel times.

Service: The Arwing IV comes from the now extincted planet of Corneria in the Lylat System. it is based on a line of designs made by Space Dynamics of assault ships for the legendary group of mercenaries Star Fox. It is now a rare ship to see and replacement parts are hard to find or very expensive (Kinda like the DeLoreans for our era). Garret exchanged it for his weird collection of Earthbound seeds to a misterious flurry merchant in a Flea Market in Sector C in mint condition .

Vessel Records: 64 Confirmed Kills, 7 Victories, 3 Damages, 1 rebuild.

 

Non-Hardpoint Weapon(s):

 

Standard Cornerian Laser Cannon: Shoots 4 laser beams per second in burst mode and takes 4 seconds to build a tracking shot (equivalent damage of 7 normal laser beams). It has an independent (and infinite) power source. It ussually takes about 24 shots to take out an average assault ship (or 4 fully charged tracking shots). An upgrade to laser cannon can be made by adding 2 lasers to the point of the G diffusers and deactivating the main one (only using it for charged shots) but parts for it rumour to no longer exist.

 

Nova Missiles: Heavy-duty missiles made by Space Dynamics. The ship is only capable of holding 3 at once. They can't track objectives and have a straight trajectory. They are designed to take out big meteors but can be used in battle as last resort.

 

 

 

 

 

If my ship is OK I'm ready to play.

[Blue]

Interceptors Ar-Go!

[Madman]

So, I'm ready to play unless more balancing and changes are requested. Decided to change the ship to an interceptor, since it's more suitable to a mercenary.

[Lord Sinister]

Lord Sinister - (Shadow Spear) Ship Acceptable, recommendations have been made however. Please indicate if you're ready to play.

 

After what you said about characterization being made redundant and so on, I've not really added anything more to the descriptions.

 

I did tweak a few things based on what you previously said though. If you think it's currently something you approve of, then you can consider it final. If not, say so in your next post and I'll adjust it accordingly for finalising.

[Blue]

@Lord Sinister

Your ship's records still indicate that it has wet paint from the Shipwright's Dock it came from. Otherwise if that's what you want final, so be it.

 

@Madman

I still find the Wormholes thing really weird and of questionable relevance, and 15 meters is pretty tiny. Otherwise, you're a go.

[Madman]

I added 7 meters to the ship and removed the wormhole conjuring.

Still r2p.

[Collective Foal]

Name: Dominicus Wynn Fletchent

Gender: Male

Species: Human

Age: 27

Height: 5'4"

Physical Attributes: Uses his small stature to his advantage. Slender but strong and well-toned, but not with the brute strength to take enemies head-on. Very nimble and stealthy. Able to take intense G-Forces due to his compressed spine. Very sharp reflexes.

Personality: Napoleon complex: short-tempered, mostly because of his stature and demanding of others' respect. Very loyal, a great ally to have, a terrible enemy to face. Incredibly inuitive, especially in battle. Able to interpret movement of others and make easy kills out of exposed fuel tanks.

 

Ship Name: Shadow-Beam

Build: Scout Craft ( A little Less speed but more firepower than usual)

Speed: Very Fast

Agility: Really Agile

Armor: Below Average

Power Provision: Above Average

Crew: Captain+2 Squadmates+AI System

Description: An old, discarded USAF ET design, the Shadow-Beam is reminiscent of the SR-71 Blackbird, found to be highly maneuverable in the more liberal atmospheres of space. The craft is much smaller than the old Blackbird and is designed for fighting superiority alone. It's intense speeds and resulting G-Forces made it a no-go for the Marines Corps, but this leftover model can be put to great use by a person who can handle it.

Vessel Records: 68 Confirmed Kills, 6 Victories, 2 Damages, 1 Rebuild

Hardpoints: None

Non-Hardpoint Weapons:

1.Rapid Fire Laser Cannon

2.Set of 40 small, highly explosive rocket pods, fired individually.

[Srake]

Fluttershy, use the Character Sheet template on the 1st page.

Pretty much all the info you need is on the 1st page in Blue's posts

[falseReplica]

Name: Cid Highwind(The Shiera)

 

Gender: Male

Species: Human

Age: 32

Height: 6ft.7

Physical Attributes: Well built, Cid wears a navy blue jacket over a dark shirt with dark green pants. He wears a white pilot's scarf that covers most of his shirt. He also wears a pair of goggles with a packet of cigarettes strapped underneath the band. Cid is a chain-smoker, and ends each battle by lighting a new cigarette. Cid has blond hair and blue eyes, He also has a closely cropped beard.

 

 

Personal weapon: A spear.(Despite his use of the spear, Cid also has an affinity for firearms as noted by an AK-47 and two M-14s in his "engineering room". The AK is on the crate, and the M-14s are wall-mounted.)

 

 

 

Personality: He constantly swears and loses his temper, and chain-smokes cigarettes.

Edited November 3, 2011 by Guest (see edit history)

[Blue]

Prospective players must use the Vessel template. This is going to be a lot more about space travel than it is walkin' around and shooting stuff.

 

Recoil, your entire character sheet could have been supplanted with just the picture. That's both how laconic, apt and hilariously to-the-point it is.

[falseReplica]

Ship Name: The Shiera

 

Build: Heavy Corvette

Service: The Shiera is an airship named by Cid Highwind in honor of his wife, It was the command ship of the World Regenesis Organization's (WRO) Airship Fleet. Shiera can be seen as the spiritual successor to the Highwind (Cid Highwinds original air ship).
