Cyclops

Sorry Lazer, I couldn't resist

As regards Dark's idea:

Does anyone else think they would find this feature useful when we split off?

Also, I shall be posting the full roster for teams A and B here once I've reached a compromise between your characters' preferences and necessities as regards balancing the numbers.

Sorry guys! I've been a bit... addicted... to a certain game, *cough cough* Oblivion *cough cough* I would've posted to the RP but Oblivion is one of those games where they won't let you minimize the game... So yeah, also been a bit occupied with a book I'm writing. (Lol it actually features Zalgon now Yeah, I went there...) I'll try to post more often. Though this'll probably happen again since Skyrim's coming out in about 23 days and I already pre-ordered. , well, how should I introduce Zalgon back? A: Act like he was jetisoned out of the Kingdom ship at of the begginging and survived on a planet where people acted like the Medieval Ages then somehow built a small ship and got back to the rest of the group? Or B: I was in a coma?

Wait, who's Zalgon? My memory removes/dissipates people who aren't embedded in to my brain permanently.

Ganoid bounty hunter, spiked weapons, a pistol, and likes vodka... Thats all you need to know...

This sounds useful, but writing whole sections in one color sounds like it would be hard on the eyes. Perhaps something like:

Team A: blah blah blah...

Team B: blah blah blah...

And normal text for everything else. Or, we could use it for only important text, like A shocktrooper confronted them.... Make sense?

I see your point, but I don't think those colors are too harsh on the eyes. This isn't so bad is it? I mean, you've made it this far into my post wirthout hurting your eyes right? But theres still more pointless text for you to read in this example of whether or not red hurts your eyes to read(Which it may, thus is the reason im making this post). I really hope this doesn't count as spam since im just making an example. Ah well, thats the end.

So now the question, was that hard on your eyes to read?(Not trying to be obnoxious in making a point that it isn't, im really just using this as a means of finding out how irritating it is)

I'm not even going to read that post, and say that it hurts my eyes. Sorry, but that's the truth.

I must admit that it did hurt my eyes a little. Maybe something a bit less harsh, like pink?

As little color as possible would be best, I believe.

Teams? Explain.

Did you not read Kwa's briefing? Team A will infiltrate the pumping station on the port side of the city and set charges in key locations. Team B will locate the pipe running between the two coolant systems and sever the connection. It's on the second half of page 31.

Sorry, just read that, my homework has been stalling me a bit. :/

I agree that minimising the amount of colour would be ideal: Using it only for important pieces of info strikes me as being potentially the most efficient means of doing that. It's probably all that's necessary to inform people as to which team the action affects.

Hey everyone! I'm back from my trip and twas awesome! I missed this ole rp and can anyone please kindly tell me what's been going on so far? Thanks!

It's going to get really confuzzling without colored text in my opinion. Maybe if there where just 4 or 5 characters it'd be fine, but with this many...

@Shar: We are all on board the Lacuna again, en route to the city of Las Thaddas for a sabotage mission. You can read the full briefing on page 31.

I have read them and we are going to be split into two teams. Team A handles the ka-booms while team B handles the tech stuff correct? Chalen will go with Team A since he would be useless in team B since he can't use techy stuff besides the blaster which I think he still needs to learn how to from Dagon. :/

Time for the Delta permitted character that will surprise you all! Mwahahaha!

User: Lazernugget
Name: (Here it is:) Lacuna
Gender: None, but reffered to as a girl (See bio)
Age: In the RP I'm "building Lacuna (person) now."
Race: Semi-Robotic gentic avatar for the ship.
Homeworld: On the Lacuna (ship)
Equipment: Knowledge of all ship systems, retractable gamma lasers, ability to integrate with ship if permitted, eyes can scan heat, x-ray, gamma ray, and the other types of rays, skin that can over less time than normal people repair itself.
Bio: Quark, as an engineer, is always trying to inprove the Lacuna (ship). After a recent affair on Ariid (See IC), Quark was utterly unsuccessful in getting ship supplies. Back on board the ship, Quark was staring at a pile of metal, gears, computers, and genetic technology that Quark never used. Quickly, an idea sprung in his head. He assembled a skeletal structure for Lacuna (person) and hooked up the genetic technology. The ships data and specifications where transferred into "her". It would be a day's worth of growing to establish the techno-genetic skin's first layer, and a whole day alone for the brain (Connected to the neural data transceivers) to develop basic functions and emotions, plus a free will. Over all, a few days would mature Lacuna (person) to the state of free thinking and a personality. The name was chosen by Quark because Lacuna (person) had the entire ship's database down to the quibits (look it up :p), and her ability to integrate into the ship's systems with permission. She's a living representation of the Lacuna (ship).
Strengths: Regenerative skin and circuit nano-processing docks to repair certain amounts of technological damage. Able to pack a punch, can lift up to thee tons, and with (slightly oxidized) titanium frame.
Weaknesses: Technological, and has no interference protection grids, so can be hacked (with a good enough hacking system). Has some trouble understanding emotions and culture, can be used to steal info, can feel pain and does not enjoy it, and if the algorithms are tampered with enough, she'll listen to any command, and electric storms or electric temperament can partially disable her.

Anything I need to change or any question, feel free to tell.

HAAAAAAAAAAAX!!!

Thats a smart idea Lazer, though I think she should be a cyclops.

O_o


You...are....obsessed....with...cyclopses.

I personally have to agree with Darkshadow. Cyclops(es?) are epic, and Robots tend to be cycloptic, anyway.

Lazer, nice character, perhaps at some point, Feren can install an Ergonian Microchip, making her compatible with Human, Ergonian and Krayven technology - useful as all of Feren's devices transmit data to anything that is registered with them - meaning she can analyse what Feren's weapons and devices detect.
