We Are Our Avatars (Discussion)

x5 I dunno if he's any more overpowered than the magic users in kereberos are, to be honest.

Well, he is a battle mage, so he knows expert-level spells on top of his martial abilities.

What kinds of spells does he know?

Mostly destruction.

And...

How is that diffrent from.

"I cast rocketlauncher?"

Specific examples please?

....eh, nevermind.

...I think I might take another hiatus from WAOA, so I would not screw up an arc again. Sorry, guys.

So since I'll be bussing Donna and Klaatu soon, presumably for a while, have a possible new Kerberos member.

• Name: Spyder
• Sex: Female
• Race: Machine
• Age: She is programmed not to tell. Beep boop.
• Gear:
  • Has six arms, the top arms having guns (which have to be modded if you wish to remove the guns, but she's fine with this), the middle ones have wieldable swords, and the lowest ones are just kind of there.
  • A stinger.
  • Little Spider Bombs. She names them!
• Powers: She can crawl upon walls, due to being a robot, and has a "camo" mode so as to attempt to negate some of her size issues for infiltration purposes.
• Skills: Decent at stealth and infiltration, but being four-legged and having a relatively large armament, she has difficulties in speed.
• Quick Traits: It is unclear if the programmers had a beef with someone, because she is rather strange, such as naming her Spider Bombs and has difficulties keeping her mouth shut when asked about something.

Character list clean up time.

With a mutual agreement, Ethers and I are sending Luna and Donna off on rick and morty style adventure

I am moving Eve back to the role of CEO to have her take care of Kerberos off screen, I like having her in command for GMPC related reasons, but I think having Captain Serenity as on screen command works best.

And I need to think some more about busing Aura, she is stuck in the weird position of "Too OP for normal operations" and "Too many medics and not enough injured people"

Got a new character I will likely be bringing in once I can settle on some name and art, already have her personality and abilities done though.

We do need to get a couple more R&D focused engineers though, all the remaining ones are focused on repairs now. >.<

How would I even go about playing an R&D engineer in a way that benefits Kerberos? Because if you can give me an example, I have a dumb, dumb idea.

Do they make shit?

Do they make shit that doesn't kill their coworkers?

Do they make shit that pisses off their employers from how absurdly dangerous and unethical their creations are but can't complain about because it doesn't kill their coworkers?

If any of these qualify, then congrats, you're an R&D engineer who benefits Kereberos.

Actually that kinda fits perfeclty for Abathurs "research"

So, any thoughts on Spyder? Anything to Nerf, any adjustments?

I don't see anything needing adjustment

I personally feel that, given Spyder's size and her lack of speed, she may not be a good choice for any stealth missions. Even with cloaking.

I'm also slightly worried about the spider bombs, though I figure they won't be overused. They're probably just walking grenades.

Other than that, no problems.

Hm, an excellent point there.

I admit I wanted to do a "stealth" character, but I agree she does come off as too big and weaponized to do that. So I guess I'll make her more a general combat character, maybe try and give that stealth aspect to a character I'm already playing (Red and Lyle would probably be my picks on that front).

And yeah, the Spider Bombs are more like grenades, and she uses them sparingly. Maybe holds like, four a mission. She does have to create new ones when she uses them up, though.

Alternate dialogue

Shepard: ...Hrodland, did you shoot a man in Reno to watch him die?

Hrodland: no but i punched a woman in the chest once

Something something "who hasn't before"

• Name: Loki
• Sex: Male
• Race: Valsaark
• Age: 19
• Gear: Steel Sword, Steel armor, adept robes (and hood), blue linen cloak that identifies him as a mage.
• Powers: Expert-level spells. He favors destruction and conjuration.
• Skills: In addition to his magic, he is a very adept swordsman,and can use his claws to deadly effect.
• Quick Traits: He comes from a warrior race, so he mixes that with scholar. He is, however, only 19, so can be a little hot-headed at times.

The Moth is Mel, as per here: http://eventua.deviantart.com/art/Mel-368680610

She's getting used to being a Moth.

There isn't actually anything special about her at all, really. She just talks, and used to be one of those old fashioned astrological globe thing at some point before becoming a Moth.

How powerful are expert-level destruction spells? I haven't played Skyrim.

Think like summoning minor daedra (demon-things) and exploding fireballs.

Or a hyperbeam...

Like literaly, it leaves you just as drained afterwords.

Ah, okay.

I see no issues then.
