That…looks very impressive.

And it seems like the quiver is Hawkeye's quiver from Avengers.

That would be the inspiration yes.

Imuka is a support team member, and a pacifist of the "Will not kill or inflict bodily harm" kind, as such she relies on being able to support her team in ways other then knocking some ones teeth out.

After a bit of discussion right before you joined, kinda settled on multiple arrow types, each with a different supportive effect, but for that to work she needs to be able to draw the correct arrow when people are possibly following the logic of shoo the medic first.

As such I went with a mechanized quiver since that plays in really well to her semblance.

[up]Sounds useful. Plus there are other ways to take down an enemy without harm, such as binding arrows (fires a net or cable to restrict movement), tear gas, flash bangs etc.

GOA: By team assignment, are you reading BRIL's new team roster or mission objective?

I wonder if you can harness dust to create a "healing" arrow?

Imca (Veteran)
#11509: Jun 28th 2014 at 4:28:51 PM

That is her main arrow, and the type I introed her with, yes.

Glass like arrow head shatters on impact and disperses healing dust.

Just kinda came to the conclusion with some help that "Heal teamate" over and over in a plot would get a bit repeditive and boring.

just to lay out some grounds for what Remus uses

Fire Dust arrow - standard igniting

Ice Trail arrow - For quick travel by way of SLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDE

Ice Dust arrow - simple freezing

Explosive Dust arrow - "now comes with a Ruby sneeze sound effect!" (joking)

Sleeper Dust arrow - For when Jack is well... Jack.

Rounds that Imuka uses so we can get all lists out.

  • Healing Dust : Her personal favorite, very nice for any one down range.
  • Flash Arrow : Flash-bangs in arrow form, disorienting nice for stopping annoying people.
  • Magnetic Goop Arrow : Disperses a magnet liquid that gets into metal joints, disrupting machines ability to function, useful for disabling weapons, or stopping some one in too heavy of armor to be hit by a flash one.
  • Buff Arrow : Not yet invented, check back later. (Does not have them yet, but will when it is actually upgrade time}

I could suggest another arrow type: Screamer

The arrowhead has holes that would make a shrill whistling noise when air passes through them. Good for distraction purposes when hunting Grimm.

Btw, listing Yun's rounds for Skyfire:

-Regular rifle rounds.

-Armor piercing rounds. Used alongside his Semblance for piercing the thick armor of some Grimm.

-Rubber rounds. Non-lethal option. will break bone if amplified by his Semblance.

Sorry I haven't been around for the last couple of days (not that some of you might have noticed). I got infected on Thursday with a virus that the white kid on our trip spread to almost everyone else over the last week. But I'm good now. Staying at Cebu until Wednesday.

I find this so very relevant at the moment.

By the way, I think at least three people that I have discussed with would like a gender bender episode.

1) Because fucking hilarious.

2) Because it would be REALLY fucking funny

3) Because who wouldn't want to?

[up][up]Solus:

Well, I would certainly find it funny. Yun…not so much.

And how would the gender switch be explained? Dust accident? Fever dream?

[up]Saturn:

I think that's the next arc.

Okay people, that section with the video file in my post is supposed to be in italics. Any idea why the markup isn't working?

Edit: Nevermind, fixed it.

I keep forgetting about Chelsea and Yun being in a different room.

Though Jack uses Dust Gauntlets...

Right so, now that I've hinted at this character a fair bit, its about time I gave her a write up.

  • Name: Natasha Noir
  • Gender: Female
  • Age: 18
  • Race: Human
  • Appearance: Tall,highly attractive with dark hair and arrogant-looking features
  • Weapons and Equipment: Pillage, Plunder and Burn
    • Pillage: A combat knife with a a wire mechanism built into its hilt
    • Plunder: A shotgun, inlaid with gold along the barrel
    • Burn: A cutlass inlaid with fire dust crystals, it can be lit by pumping the handle which activates the friction lighter built into the hilt
  • Semblance: She claims that its the ability to sniff out valuable objects
  • Personality: Natasha is the classic femme fatale. Beautiful, deadly, treacherous, focused on her own goals but seeming to have enough of a conscious that several idiots have thrown themselves at her over the years
  • Bio: Not a whole lot is known about Natasha's early life. Allegedly she came from one of Vale's outlying villages where Grimm attacks are fairly common. She eventually came to Signal to become a huntress, during her time there she broke several hearts including Medus'. She left Signal after pulling off a robbery and leaving a naive Medus to take the fall. She is now a pirate, commanding a crew and using a submarine she won in a poker game.

Thumbs up!

Also: Olivia? Physically fragile? Pfffft.

Sounds like a woman rotting at the core. Kinda feel bad for Medus now. Did he manage to prove his innocence?

[up]Grim:

Yun didn't ask, but he knew it would be one or the other. Either way, he'll be sure to take care when talking to Olivia.

Well I'm glad you approve Grimm tongue

(No but seriously I am. I've had Natasha planned out since the day after I wrote up Medus, don't know what I would've done if I had to rework her.)

[up]Well he is here at Beacon now, so yeah.
