And now some explanation of Technomancers and Field Hacking: Technomancers are born with the ability to see streams of data and influence them. With enough time and concentration, a Battle Technomancer can input code or cause a malfunction in equipment. For example, A Technomancer can grapple an enemy and input code to transmit the position of the FRAME to a receiver. Also can be used to take down shields for boarding actions, etc. Just remember that it takes time and concentration, and is thus used best when planned in advance and with good support, rather than trying to influence the tide of battle in a moment.
My intrest is peeked, but I still want to get a better feel on whats happening here before I join. So first of all, is there a max on weapons being used for the mech/its ability? You laid down the three classes so I guess we will work with that but for example This is an average Armored core(anime-esk) Mecha and it has 6 weapons. Thats alot that it could destroy, but then again in some episodes of Gundam a team of 5 will kill 14924579 ships/mechs with ease and they will have 2 weapons each. That the bring me to my next question. Are we the super fast and super strong mechs(Gundam) or are we the glass cannon ones that are really a support unit to main troops/ used for small skirmishes/ 1v1 other mechs ( Armored core and this mech)? Edit: That reminds me, there is also the style of MechWarrior, but that more 'Realistic' focused and not Anime.
Well well, good question. I am envisioning more of a gundam theme from what you have given me... yeah, that's pretty much what I was going for. The FRAMEs are going to be the base unit for battles, with the players being Elite and your average trooper having a weak FRAME and only a basic Kinetic rifle. With that said, if you wanted a FRAME like the Mecha above (A glass cannon) we could work something in, and it would probably be considered a destroyer. I hope that helped. You have any more questions? (Mechwarrior is cool, though.)
Nope. Seems alright. Although I just want to know if there is a limit to anything? Like weapons, upgrades, and or abilities. Is the limit just "Don't make it too ridiculous." Thats good enough for me.
Check out @WanderingJester Character for a small taste. Of course keep it within reason. For numbers, let's keep it down to about 2-3 weapons systems for now, as well as your signature (Weapon or System) You may also begin with a small stat/equipment upgrade (Such as Void Riptide's Speed). Your signature must also have a drawback so as to not be too OP (His Chain Cutter overheats, and also lights up his position, leaving him more exposed to fire.) I am happy you are joining us. Go ahead and PM me your character using the sheet above, and I'll look it over, OK?
Name:Enyo Arcadia Breed: Human Gender: Male Looks: Enyo is a man of average height. Short black hair and usually having his signature 5 o'clock shadow. His skin is quite tan especially after all the time in his Frame system. Personality:While academically not the brightest, he makes up physically and a strong morale code.Usually one of the first trying to help people, whether they ask for it or not. For the most part, he will act as if he doesn't care, but he isn't a hard nut to crack by any means. Quite a simple person overall, occasionally having his moments. FRAME Details: Star Catcher, is Enyo's Stryker FRAME. The Beige FRAME has been a prototype for many years, finally released for combat training. Luckily Enyo was the one selected for this marvel. The purpose of this build is to have as Stryker platform that was able to accurately deliver range fire support. A new breakthrough allowed this FRAME to even leave the test ring, its thrusters. Mounted on the feet, thigh, back, and shoulders of the vehicle the new "BURST" booster make Star Catcher a true unique Stryker. The boosters will launch the FRAME at a competitive speed as other Strykers in less than a second while it can come to a complete stop in an instant. This allows the FRAME to fire accurately while still not stopping long enough to be targeted. It looks as if Star Catcher "bounces" around the battlefield. (Increased Accuracy at any speed.) To take advantage of this feature, the FRAME has been given the: Gungnir Mass Driver, 2 Beam Lasers , chest flak cannon, and beam blade. The Mass Driver can be switched to a faster fire rate to launch out heavy caliber slugs or it can fire a massive slug encasing a 10kiloton explosive although it takes several seconds(about 10) to charge and fire. To support itself, the two beam lasers help melt through armor and can be used in flight, but can only be fired in a 45 degree ark in front of the FRAME. The user of this weapon better be aware of the issue of overheating and all systems temporarily shutting down. Finally a beam blade is kept on the left forearm used for the odd moments of Close Combat. SOUL Details: Beta is the designated SOUL of the Star Catcher prototype. It helps with mostly the firing and timing of the "bouncing" in the battlefield. Due to this, it has quite a aggressive personality and due to minor glitches in the system the voice of Beta sounds blurred and distorted, sounding daemonic in some ways. Beta is shaped into a burning ball, as all AI before they are given shape. All these features make Enyo uneasy around him. Especially when the AI is so formal.
@WanderingJester @Xaphen Would you guys want some NPC riders to flesh out the team a bit more, or do you want the players to be the only Riders in the Game? Well, on your side.
I personally would like to see what you do with the description I gave you of my SOUL. I would like to control her during combat but have the gm narrate her during all social situations, but that's just me. As to the other riders, sure. I can go either way but if not then put in some supporting cast (cooks, cleaners, assistants) in to the game to populate the group would be nice.
