We Are Our Avatars (Discussion)

Yeah, which is why he'll be focusing on Adept-level or below.

J'Zargo's gonna be so jealous

Alright. The last time I played this guy I made him too focused on weapons and so eventually I dropped him out of boredom. That's on me.

Maybe this time if I play him like a human being I'll get more mileage, ah? Either way, Kerberos needs R&D - time to bring it.

• Name: Doctor Edward Richtofen
• Sex: Male
• Race: Human
• Appearance: The one to the left, and only the one to the left.
• Gear:
  • A single piece of Combatant Suppression Knuckles◊, which he has termed the Galvanizer. It has stun and kill settings, and is basically just a taser, but you punch people with it.
  • A Mauser M712◊ handgun that has undergone a significant amount of modifications over the years. Its appearance differs from the picture, in that its grip, magazine, and other non-tan parts appear to be made of steel, while the tan parts have a strange blue "paint job" that shifts as the weapon moves. It doesn't fire regular bullets, either - it uses Element 115 and magic to convert them into bolts of extremely powerful plasma, and gets fifty shots to a full magazine. Don't mess with R&D. Notably, it is semi-automatic only.
• Powers: None.
• Skills: Very, very gifted scientist. Richtofen is also not unfamiliar with manufacturing, though he mostly prefers to be doing research, whether primary or secondary.
• Physical Abilities: Above average, but not at the peak of human condition like most of my characters. Dammit, Jim, he's a scientist, not a fighter.
• Quick Traits: Slightly paranoid. Can hold his own in a fight psychologically, but doesn't prefer to be fighting in the first place. Will be working in Kerberos R&D, performing research on anything interesting the group finds and attempting to produce items based on them that can help out in a fight. May also build some of his own things if given nothing else to do.

Looks good.

I bet this is confusing to those who never played legends of aerith or waoaa

The goblin queen was the main antagonist of legends of aerith. She was a speciest sociopath who wanted to make aerith pure. Which made her death by hrodland punching her chest ironic

Kyle necros is a necromancer who tried to take over arkenea in the first ever aerith arc in waoaa. He was defeated by kerberos before they took that name

thanks for the info shiny

Wait! What been happening?

Just expositing how much trouble aeriths in...and i need to stress this no char played by anyone else is infected. This has been happening for months only hal was directly poisoned for reasons to be explained

Phew i'm spent!

That was very interesting.

Thank you!

Due to circumstances beyond my control i cannot move the plot today. I'll try to be on later though

Alright, brahski

now enjoy metal sheer solid

I have two characters I'm considering, one for WAOAA and one for just normal WAOA.

the one for WAOA is, wait for it, Shinn Asuka. Only he's SRW Z version, so instead of a burning hot bed of rage and teenage angst, he's been through actual character development. He's still an idiot and dork, but in a good way and a legitimate hero instead of the insane berserker he became in seed destiny.

WAOAA is Trowa Barton.

• Name: Trowa Barton (real name: Triton Bloom)
• Sex: Male
• Race: Human
• Appearance: dude could use a hair cut
• Gear: Trowa usually just uses either what he can find in the field or he picks up from the enemy. However he does keep an M1911 pistol on him at all times, since he used to store one in the cockpit of his gundam.
• Powers: None.
• Skills: good at deep cover Infiltration to the point you think he’s changed sides, Mobile Suit piloting, Acrobatics thanks to all that time in the circus.
• Physical Abilities: he’s a normal human, but all that time either being a soldier or a circus acrobat have made him pretty strong, and really ripped◊
• Quick Traits: a man of few words. Trowa is patient and calm, preferring to look the situation over and then taking the route that is most likely to lead to success as actions speak much louder than any words. He has however a pretty friendly guy underneath the cold mask he usually wears.

and here is a vehicle I'd like to add to the vehicle hanger:

• name of Vehicle: Leo
• Type of Vehicle: Mobile suit, bipedal mech.
• Appearance: [1]
• Size: 16.2 meters
• Level of Armour: on a one to ten scale, this thing is a 3.5, you're gonna need more than light weaponry but an RPG will still be something to fear.
• Speed: medium, it can easily keep pace with heavily armored vehicles but there stronger machines
• Handling: it's relatively easy to handle, as it's pretty much the most watered down version in a long line of watered down designs. and yes it can handle the corners well enough assuming it doesn't slip on a puddle.
• Terrain Navigation Capabilities: Where does it not work? It can function in space, on the ground, underwater, mountains, and others with the proper mods. Give it a parachute and you can drop it from low orbit as a paratrooper.
• Weapons and Equipment: (please keep in mind it doesn’t, and can’t, have all this at once)
  • Shield which can also house two beam sabers
  • 105mm rifle, there's a radar mounted on the rifle itself to help increase accuracy
  • Dober gun
  • Beam Rifle
  • Parachute pack
  • Anything else Kerberos would want to equip it with assuming it's accepted
• Modularity: it can be modified with a with a cylindrical booster back pack that grants additional thrusters for space use, it’s head can be switched from the standard model to a dish radome turning it into an EWA Cs. It can also be given a winged thruster pack that allows limited flight on earth but it’s more like a 'short burst hover over a trench' style deal.
• Quick Role Description: it's like a good kalashnikov, you can abuse the heck out of it and it will still do it's job. It's also really cheap to repair. You can blow it up and repair the scraps for probably the price of a used sedan. Basically cheap, reliable, doesn't require much maintenance while also being pretty mod-able.

And now, I submit for approval something that I probably shouldn't do — something I may completely forget about, or simply not have the time to flesh out in full — but I'm going to do anyway.

Kept you waiting, huh?

~*~

Codename: Big Boss◊.

Age: Exact age unknown, estimated to be about 50 years old.

Sex: Male.

Race: Human...presumably.

Equipment: Big Boss, being the experienced soldier that he is, is very well-equipped. He has three guns on his person: strapped to his front, he has the AM MRS-4◊ assault rifle, outfitted with a suppressor and a mounted flashlight; in the holster to his side, he carries the Wu silent tranquilizer pistol; and on his back, he carries a scoped Mosin-Nagant sniper rifle. Other than that, Big Boss carries around a set of night-vision goggles; a couple hand, stun, and smoke grenades each; spare suppressors for the Wu and the MRS-4; a combat knife; and a cardboard box. Technically, the robotic prosthesis that's replaced his left arm also counts as equipment, as Big Boss has it outfitted to the point that he can deliver an electrical charge through the fingertips, allowing him to instantly knock unconscious any normal human being after charging the prosthesis up for a few seconds. On his body, he wears simple combat garb paired with a scarf, as pictured here.◊

Physical Abilities/Skills: Big Boss is, as you probably recall, a soldier of legend, and as such has the skill to reflect that. Physically, Big Boss is in top form in many aspects, though he's nowhere near superhuman; catch him off-guard with a bullet or two and he goes down with the rest of them. However, Big Boss's strength doesn't lie in superhuman ability or magical powers...it lies in how effectively he can work within his own limits. Big Boss is a master stealth operative and soldier, with dozens of years of field experience under his belt. He's learned to effectively strategize and improvise on the fly, leading to some admittedly unorthodox plans sometimes. He's a superb marksman, even with one eye and one arm missing from his body, and he's well-trained in a special martial art known as CQC: a devastating mix of hand-to-hand combat and gunplay that focuses on quickly disabling targets in a flurry of blows.

Powers: None.

Quick Info: Big Boss is a very gruff older man by this point; very business-minded and to-the-point, especially where missions are concerned. Despite his outward grumpiness, however, Big Boss definitely isn't an inherently hateful person; due to his previous lines of work, he's come to work with thousands of different eclectic personalities with thousands of viewpoints, places of origin, and languages, so he's very accepting when it comes to the unusual, and he can work with others just fine. He may not talk much anymore (though he is known to wax poetic about ideologies or reasons for fighting from time to time), and he may not make friends that easily, but he's easy enough to work with, and no one should have any problems.

Big Boss has come looking specifically for Kerberos. He doesn't know exactly how they can help him, but he does know that he's been wandering aimlessly from planet to planet for a while now, hitching rides on portals that just so happen to conveniently appear as soon as Big Boss has exhausted work opportunities where he is. The reputation of these wandering mercenaries precedes them, and they have intrigued the soldier of legend...and resonated with him.

V has come to, Kerberos. I hope you're ready.

~*~

Don't worry, there'll be no spoilers for MGSV. I know better than to do that to y'all. >.>

Your guys seem pretty fine to me.

I am not sure if that one doesn't violate our "no walking nukes"-rule.

Other than that, I think I'm okay with it.

I doubt it does. Given he said an RPG would be a significant threat, and it can't carry all six of its weapons at the same time, seems pretty legit.

to put your fears at ease chuck I'll explain it like this. the Leo is very versatile yes, but it lacks strength in any one area, it's more like a general jack of all trades unit for supporting others that's easily modifiable and is only as dangerous as kerberos makes it.

if it's sent out without support (meaning infantry, air cover, heck even lacking battlefield intel could prove fatal) the thing is gonna get wrecked.

It's also possible it's armor is painted with C4.

but seriously, if you want 'walking nukes' I'll be happy to show you some units that surpass that in terms of destructive power.

I was referring to Big Boss actually. >_>

ah well, I could at least point Imca to this description if she sees a unit from gundam and thinks I'm trying to break the game.

I'm back!!... That may have been the most... interesting Camping trip I've ever been on.

That does not work as a joke sadly chuck, when we have a Spartan on the team.

Six x Big Boss OTP
