The Saurian Adventure (Starfox Adventures the RP)

I'm answering a bit more briefly than I would like at the moment, but I think I like the idea of a comic relief character. I'm considering going back and toning down my character because I don't want to be as hard core as you put it. Still tough guy, but maybe not as bitterly so. On that note, I personally would be cool pairing my seemingly standoffish character with the comic relief one, just to add a bit of fun contrast.

LIEK O MYE GAWWD!! OZZUM!!

*jumps around excitedly like an idiot*

--Okay, allow me to shut up. lol

But anyway, we need to get talking about how we'll execute it. I haven't completed my character yet, but I do have a general idea of her background and personality. I'd just like to get on an IM or just PM and chat about how they will interact with each other on a regular basis.

Sure thing! I'll just warn you this will be the first time I have tried to participate in a RP so I am a noob and not completely sure on how to participate correctly. Maybe collaborating with you a bit to get the parts correctly will help me.

Yay, people showing a personal interest in this! Makes me happy.

But a few questions though. I've been out of the game for...--what? Two? Three years? A lot has changed in the way RPs are started and whatnot. I'm not too sure how this situation works. So, do I post my character ASAP in the RP character section, or wait until an OOC thread is established and post it there?

And speaking of the character herself (--yes, it's a woman)... I've looked at a couple of characters people are using (specifically) for this rp and the rp itself... The characters are kind of hard-core. Which is fine. Perfect! You know, "Kick some a** and take names", "Stomp the pavement, crack the frame, and make 'em bleed", and all of that. But you know I plan on making a comic relief character of sorts. She's going to be useful--I'll make her make as much sense as possible... She's going to be a scientist; geologist coming to study/figure out how and why the planet is just crumbling apart the way it is. But anyway, her shtick is basically... Contrast? Contrast within herself, and contrast with the environment of the RP, and contrast with the fellow characters. A lot of the humor will be forged by the fact that she's kind of high-maintenance and possibly a little annoying, though she could be very useful or capable, depending on the instance.

Robert, I know that you gave specific examples of what kind of things you don't want the characters to do or be. But other than that, do we have as much leeway as we want when making or choosing our characters? I'm assuming it won't be an issue...

Also, with the type of character I wanna make, she's going to need a partner or some type of bodyguard while she does her thing. With the type of person she is, I highly doubt that she'll survive alone. Somewhere between Ashley Graham of Resident Evil 4 and Sheva Alomar of Resident Evil 5. She needs someone to depend on and annoy. What do you guys think?

Addressing this, as long as your character DOESN'T break any of my submission rules, you are free to submit whatever character you want!

Honestly, a bumbling but brilliant geologist with no combat skills strikes me as a very unique and original character idea, and I would most certainly accept it so long as her scientific abilities were sensible enough to catch Robert's eye!

If you need a foil, Robert and Jami are open to be anyone's foil, as they are DM characters who are always present.

[Naza Sutera]

Name: Amelia Alaer Cimmaron

Place of Origin: Oceannis, Aquas

Age: 30

Profession: Photographer, Geologist

Race: Father is a Coyote. Her mother is bi-species; Red Fox and Grey Wolf.

Sex: Female

Height: 5ft, 4in

Weight: 146lbs

Appearance: According to the Body Mass Index, she’s slightly overweight, but nowhere near the point where it’s unhealthy or anything like that. Her original color pallet is similar to that of a red fox, but she gets a bleach and dye job done periodically to keep a “vanilla ice-cream†color. Hair goes down to her upper back; originally straight, but styled to be wavy. Ice-blue eyes. Sometimes wears horn-rimmed glasses which she humorously refers to as her "eyes".

Clothing: Because of her creative and stylistic background, Amelia is a bit of a self-professed fashionista and fashion victim.

For the Saurian excursion, she’ll be doing a light beige camisole with a dark denim mini-skirt. For an “outdoorsy/lumberjack†chic, she’ll throw on a plaid Flanagan, unbuttoned, with the sleeves rolled up to the elbows. But there are two coupe de grâces : the shoes and the bag. For the shoes, she’s doing a pair of $1,600 hiking boots propped up on 6-inch heels with a 1-inch platform, in grey suede with traction soles (courtesy of Alaïa Azzedine design house). Yes people; high-heeled hiking boots. It’s a contradiction of terms, right? And for the bag, it’s a $1,800 backpack by Louis Vuitton. It’s Brown, leather, and sports the signature “LV†monogram/print. Of course, she could have gotten something from the local Wal-Mart for 1-10% of the price.

History: Amelia was born in the city of Oceannis, Aquas towards the end of her father’s final military tour. By the time she was a year old, her father had finished his military career, and moved to the Crystal Court Township (an upper-market housing project on the fringe of Corneria City) to raise his family. There, Amelia’s mother became a real estate agent, and her father became a police officer.

Towards her senior year at New Horizons High School of the Arts, a classmate and an acquaintance was the victim of a violent sexual assault while walking to her car after attending a party. The police chief at the time made a public statement about the young woman’s choice in clothing and how that incited the assault. Both displeased and inspired by the statement, Amelia collaborated with a group of friends/classmates and her father (who taught her Krav Maga after the attack, which she still practices to date) for a final class project called “Get Back! Stay Back! High Fashion Self Defenseâ€. It was a film and photography project that consisted of a series of short films/demonstrations of Krav Maga techniques while wearing not-so-conservative articles of clothing, such as high heels, pencil skirts, and other articles of clothing that may otherwise make actual fighting or simply fleeing ineffectual. Not only did the students receive extra credit in their respective classes for the project, the series was featured in the news media succeeding the closure of the rape case, as well as inspire several fashion and lifestyle magazines post articles and launch capaings for high fashion+self-defense, and being integrated into the Krav Maga women’s self defense curriculum. Amelia and the other collaborators were interviewed by Mod3 Magazine and Corneria Cosmo, and were each paid a lump sum of cash by The Krav Maga Association of Self Defense for use of their material.

At the age of nineteen, she entered a two-year program at Valencia Community College, getting an Associates Degree in Fine Art, and minoring in Photography and Cinematography. Originally, she was had planned to continue her education at The Institute of Creative Studies and do something that reflected fashion. However, she was motivated by what she learned with Cultural Studies as her minor, she traveled all over Corneria and around the Lylat System to first-handedly experience other people and their ways of life. Furthermore, she experienced and witnessed vastly different climates and landscapes and decided to study geology. Sciences have always been something Amelia had been interested in, which is why she became an undergraduate at Silverstone University. There, she majored in the Geo-Planetary Sciences academic program and minored in Cultural Studies.

Recently, Amelia had taken up freelance photography as a profession in conjunction with being a scientist. While much of her dossier deals with landscape and wildlife photography, she has also done portrait/wedding photography, and (of course) fashion photography. She plans further studying to become a photojournalist.

At current, the physical state of the planet Sauria has been all over the media, especially since it’s destruction could cause serious damage to the equilibrium of the Lylat System. The fact that the planet is simply crumbling apart the way it is defies physics and goes against geological and planetary sciences. Seeing as how the state of the planet makes being on it dangerous, and the fact that the citizens are going through a civil war, Amelia was the first of a few scientists willing to make history by putting themselves in the danger zone.

Personality: When she was in high school, her psychologist gave her an IQ test, which she scored a 170 on it. Another specialist diagnosed her with Attention Deficit Disorder. Though the combination of those two things has been a source of creativity and brilliance for her, she would be bouncing off the walls and her conversations flying a million miles an hour. She could very well be schizophrenic, but her taking regular medicaments slow her thoughts down and bring her back into our universe.

In any case, Amelia has a rather lively and gregarious; a social butterfly of sorts. She tends to be quite talkative and random sometimes. Though the aforementioned can be arguably entertaining, it can cause her to appear airheaded and ditzy until she divulges a surprising “Aha!†moment of information.

She is also a very curious and questioning person, and is not afraid to ask questions if she wants to know something. The way she asks also follows her theme of “arbitrary pretense of ineptitudeâ€, in that the content of the question on it’s own (with the thought behind it being a non-factor) may have nothing to do with the current conversation or state of affairs. It’s only when one has the patience and/or understanding to see that there’s a method to her madness.

And on the subject of her “arbitrary pretense of ineptitudeâ€, it is a way for her to bridge the gap between knowledge/understanding and ignorance/misinterpretation, be it within herself or when talking to another person. In that regard, she’ll use a lot of popular and mainstream culture references when talking, no matter what she’s talking about, since they are things most people are familiar with.

Although Amelia is very well spoken and makes an effort to be tasteful, she can be very ostentatious and overly opinionated. If she feels that there is an issue that needs to be spoken on, be sure that she’s going to open her mouth about it. Sometimes, she might say something that shouldn’t be said.

Amelia can be overelaborate, bourgeois, and self-indulgent. This is evidenced by the fact that she bought a Louis Vuitton bag for the trip for nearly $2,000, and how the expensive Alaïa hiking boots she bought are just an excuse to wear high heels. And don’t put it past her to be wearing makeup despite the admittedly disadvantageous conditions.

Skillsets: Amelia has a Batchelor’s Degree in Geo-Planetary Sciences, which is to say that she is knowledgeable in the broad number of subjects they encompass: geology, physical geography, geophysics, soil science, oceanography, and atmospheric sciences. She also has general knowledge concerning biology, biochemistry, and mathematics. She’s traveled a lot and minored in cultural studies at Silverstone University, so she’s decent at understanding other cultures and ways of life. She’s been practicing self-defense since high school, but it’s distinct from actual fighting, in that Krav Maga is more about “stun and runâ€. Also, she's fluent in four languages, to include Saurian.

[Gene Inari]

Name: Keaton Thorn

Age: 23

Sex: Female

Height: 5'8â€

Weight: 175

Race: Coywolf (Coyote-Wolf hybrid)

Homeworld: Katina

Description:

Background: Keaton Thorn was born on Katina to a wolf father and coyote mother beyond either the 'oasis cities' or the military bases that surround the dotted pockets of lakes or lodes of valuable resources around the harsh, arid wastelands of the planet. Keaton lived mostly in poverty and made a living in her teenaged years doing jobs of both the legal and illegal sort. She put most of her money and her gift towards advanced engineering into making her own fighter craft (named Thunderbolt) and making her way into the mercenary line of work after years of collecting materials and hand-building her ship from the ground up. However, one of her earlier missions out Keaton was shot down in an engagement and she crashed her ship out in one of the barren deserts of Katina, far from help. After a week in the desert, her current employer, Gene Inari, another mercenary, found her. Keaton agreed to work for him in exchange for the rescue and the repairs and restoration of her ship. On her first mission out with Gene, she discovered that he had many, significant, prostheses and was horrified what the line of work did to him. Working with Gene for a period of time, Keaton sought a way to improve herself beyond her normal limitations without resorting to cybernetics, which developed into a phobia. The one option was bio-enhancement, which she quickly sought after. Keaton acquired these enhancements by staging a raid single-handedly on a research station with ties to Andross' 'empire', stealing massive amounts of illegal research data, and then holding it ransom to the ones that it belonged to for the procedures and chemical enhancements to be done. Each enhancement, either surgical or chemical, alone carried significant risk. Despite the high chances of failure due to surgical complications, cross-chemical complication, and psychological stress, Keaton made it through the months of procedures and chemical regiments. However, with such drastic changes, a months to years long rehabilitation period was needed. It has only been several months since then.

Skillsets: Keaton's experimental, military-grade bio-enhancements give her outright extraordinary strength and endurance without the usual limitations of cybernetics. However, she is still not entirely acclimated to the enhancements and is suffering from various side effects left over from the procedures. Keaton has a penchant for close-quarters engagements, owning considerable skills with shotguns with the added expertise of crafting her own shells. Keaton is also very intelligent albeit very informally with a reckless approach to her methods. Also Keaton is a gifted engineer, both in the design and maintenance of spacecraft, along with other practical disciplines. Her early life on the streets in middle of a desert planet and on the run from authority taught her many vital survival skills—put to the test in her week stranded in the desert. Her mental determination and augmented physical endurance have been noted to allow her to continue to function in high stress situations that others otherwise could not.

Do remember I haven't updated the main rules yet to fix some errors, so be prepared to make some edits!

Also, Naza, your character still has 3 free skill slots, if you wish to make use of them.

I added Technology. But, I am trying to follow a theme of being brilliant mentally but having no combat skills.

[Thu'um]

Alright question, could my characters agilty go above 7 since he is small and mobile, he is move like a squirrel in a tree and i don't feel that a 7 descibes that.

[sroberson]

Alright question, could my characters agilty go above 7 since he is small and mobile, he is move like a squirrel in a tree and i don't feel that a 7 descibes that.

I figure why not, my character currently has an 8 in strength I think and Gene has 9.

[Robert Monroe]

STOP RIGHT THERE.

7- The limits of human ability on its own account. This is the guy with college degrees, or climbs mountains for fun.

8 - Beyond natural human ability. Requires an IC justification, such as steroid treatments for strength, cybernetic implants for amazing reflexes, ect.

9 - As close to perfect as possible. Requires IC justification, as characters with values this high are either genetically altered severely, cyborgs, you get the idea.

10 - Absolute perfection, unexplainable. But, noone's perfect... right? (This is not allowed among PCs)

READ THIS YOU DORKS.

The scale is very "small". 5 is average, 6 is above, and 7 is "human limits". 8 and 9 require -transhuman augmentation-, and if you've used all your stat pools, then you must adjust your sheet accordingly!

what is the limit by the way?

[Robert Monroe]

AJC, not to sound like a total asshole, but did you read the first post? it gives ALL THE INFORMATION RIGHT THERE. All stats start at 5, and you have 4 points to allocate as you see fit. You may deduct points from one stat to add it to another stat. All stats cap at 9.
