Here is the information compilation post (to not clog up the RP thread): Character creation Template: Name: Age: Gender: Caste: Specialty (optional): Sept / Homeworld: Example: Name: i.e. 'Skilled' or 'Niner' (I will help you forging the name then) Age: 25 (40 is considered old for Tau!) Gender: Female Caste: Fire Specialty: None / All-Round Sept / Homeworld: Sa'Cea Character Creation Notes: Only Tau - No Tau allies like Kroot, Vespid, Gue'Vesa, etc for players. Also 40 is considered old but since your char is already 'Ui' rank you should choose an age between 20-30. Playing Notes: You are not required to use Tau terms, use of them is completely optional. Same for applying names / calling other by names. Nicknames or shortening it just to the actual name-giving part is okay. I.E. Aun'Vre'T'olku'Shovah'Jkorra may be called simply 'J'korra' or 'T'olku' or 'Shovah' or 'T'olku'Shovah'J'korra' Tau Lexicon - Here Sept World List Caste & Rank Overview Some Self-Made Terms / Words: Deru = 'Strong Fire' as in Devastating Firepower Buies = 'Fast Builder' or 'Efficient Builder' Codrus = 'Architect' as in 'Creative Constructor' Yua'rak = 'Intelligent Trickster' As in Lawyer-like 'intelligent tricking' (Talking way out, etc.) Important Characters / 'Architect Tools': Etherreal = Aun'Vre'T'olku'Shovah'J'karra may be dubbed as 'J'karra' Air Caste Leader = Kor'Vre'Au'Taal'Kauyen = Kauyen Earth Caste Leader = Fio'Vre'Elsy'eir'Codrus = Codrus Water Caste Leader = Por'Vre'Ksy'm'yen'Eur'ii = Eur'ii Fire Caste Leader = Shas'Vre'Sa'Cea'Shi'Monat = Shi'Monat Player Characters: Fire Caste: Shas'Ui'N'dras'Vior'la - Female - Fox / Vulpas Shas'Ui'Bork'an'Deru - Male - Bjorn Earth Caste: Fio'Ui'Fi'rios'Niner - Male - Fox / Vulpas Fio'Ui'Bork'an'Buies - Male - Bjorn Water Caste: Por'Ui'N'dras'Yua'rak - Male - Por Oboros Cain / Cain Air Caste: Kor'Ui Fal'shia Kais'or'es - Male - Zyver 'Neo' - Phaeron Zcee Nook
You are overthinking again It may depend on the mission parameters to begin with, mh? In usual case though you would move in a Pathfinder team ahead to scout, etc. I cannot simply go ahead and promise you you never will have to. It simply will depend between missions. EDIT: And well you will have to use the Markerlight for a moment and acquire target before firing again, usually it is for targeting purposes only anyway and usually you would not fire while markiing targets for others. Think of marking a target for Aerial assaults, missile strikes, snipers, etc.
Ok, sounds good, at least going in ahead would give me the chance to get a good position before the fighting starts
See my edit btw and yup - that's the idea of Pathfinders. Not to forget you more likely will have detonators with you for sabotage acts vs. regular FW ^^
So, basically... we can create stuff as we go forward with our posts? As long as it does not go over the board?
Ok, so marker light is for air strikes and snipers and such, ok, I am content with my questions..... For now......
Yup. And Seeker Missiles which can be fired from Devilfish, Sky Rays, etc. here goes nothing: http://forum.eternalcrusade.com/threads/shadowsuns-trump.27011/#post-473941
That or a simple monologue ^^. You can assume there are NPCs of your same caste in the same orca with you, so you may imply some dialogues etc. That is the wonderful thing of having an architect. I just give you the general setting - you can make any use you want, even beyond your own character (as long as it doesn't directly use other player chars without their okay xD ... Or as long as they don't complain )
