A Tale from Horizon [Interest&OOC][CLOSED&CANCELLED]

Okay, I think I'm done, let me know if I missed anything/messed anything up:

Name: Winnifred "Win" Karisma​

Race: Human

Class: Outlaw (Assassin)

Gender: Female

Physical Appearance: Shoulder-length red hair, pale green eyes, full lips, slender waist with very large breasts and ample hips. She has the tendency to wear clothes that emphasize her assets and to strike seemingly accidental poses that reveal a little too much of her body.

Character Background: Created (+1 to Persona), Criminal (+1 to HP)

History: Win is an illegal clone of a pornographic model trained in sexual performance, seduction, and black ops. She is white and fair skinned with a dark beauty mark beside her left eye. Win was created on a criminal station on the fringes of human space. Her brain has been conditioned using simulators and cybernetic surgery to include an experimental personality shunt. Win has partial control over a switch that allows her to vary between a foolish nymphomaniac personality (most of the time) and a trained assassin. Stress and certain stimulation can trigger the shunt against her will in either direction. She was used for assassination and esponiage on behalf of a criminal organization, but managed to free herself at age 6 (apparent age mid-twenties).

Some thigns I noticed:

Character Background. You need to choose 2 backgrounds for your character from the background section. They give you bonuses to your stats.

Character Skills. I didn't see you acknowledge the human initial power...which is that they start off with a free skill from a class not their own. So you can like, get something from the Engineer class or from Psionic Slayer class. And you can do so after 5 missions and again after 10. Also, you only have the base Assassin skills. You start off with 2 free abilities you can pick up from Assassin Optinal Skills, Outlaw Optional Skills, and Omni Optional Skills along with your Human power beenfit. Plus, you got 135 IQ, so that's another free ability. So right now you have 4 free ability slots available. You also have 2 Assassin skills missing....Chameleon and Mortal Strike.

Physical Force: This is missing. Psionic force is gone too, but you go 0 psionics so I can see you have no interest in it. However, you're going to need Physical Force. It dictates how many pounds you can work against as well as increase physical damage. Depending on how much your Physical Force is, it can also give you plenty of other fun stuff (like allowing you to dual weild heavy equipment)

Fertility: Just remember that your Luck is added to your Fertility. So it's at 4+8

Total Weight: Your character's natural weight combined with equipment. Be sure you have an eye on this as it can dictate if people can pick you up or toss you about with telekinesis.

Language: You're free to call it "Human" if you want. But just be aware that in fiction, their language is called "Romani Confusci". The name of languages probably won't be coming up often, but it's a nitpick really.

Other: The computer is missing. Everyone starts off with the computer, so just be aware of that

Everything else I mostly see is just portions of the character sheet is just missing. Stuff like the Total Weight, the Physical Force, the HP regens, the Action Points tracker. I just hope you at least keep track of those things.

 

I'll fix that stuff. It seems like a fun setting but it is clearly still WIP.

edit: FIXED!

 

Yeah, but sadly the creator has a lot of stuff on his plate, can't really devote full time to the system

 

Does certain ammunition pair better with certain weapons?

 

Not sure what you mean by that, but different ammunition types do offer benefits different from standard

Particle modification forces the weapon to focus on battery life, but damages armor and HP at the same time

Armor piercing ignores defense bonuses granted by cover and armor plus deal extra damage

Hollow tip causes bleed on unarmored targets

Tracers increase your chance to hit a target the next round

Shock rounds stun unarmored targets and royally fucks up Androids

Air bursts knock people out

Tracking rounds...track people

Dragon Fire rounds sets people on fire

EMP rounds shuts down electronics like cybernetic upgrades and Androids

and so forth. You can find them in the Items section and they have their credit cost and clip sizes that the guns take up. The type of gun they go into don't really matter too much, as they're just there for those who want ammunition that does something different.

 

Gotcha. Judging by the way the weapons profiles are written, it sounded like they came preloaded or were meant for specific types of ammo (like the pulse pistol uses EMP rounds or something)

And as for the free upgrades with the computer, we can choose any of the level 1 upgrades listed regardless of price? (I get the feeling I'm not reading that right)

 

Some guns naturally have certain ammo types, it'll be noted in their description.

And yes, so long as you follow the indicators as to where those free upgrades go to, you can pick any level 1 upgrade regardless of price, they are free.

 

I'll play. Just don't goo-rape me.

 

I'm interested in playing, although I still have to read through the entire Manual. Still, after browsing through it and creating a concept for a character, I have some questions. Namely, how is "Psionic Capability" determined. I see in the Manual that there are four 'classes': Novice, Standard (I would call it Adept, but that's just me), Master, and Omega. Is the level determined at character creation? Or can one choose between Novice and Standard? Also, in the character sheet under "Libido" it's stated that a higher score in libido increases the number of points you have to spend in other sexual stats. My question is what is the rate of this? Is it 1:1, 2:1, 5:1? Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated!

 

From what I got (correct me if I'm wrong, Jizzrar):
Psionic capability is determined by how many Psionic Powers you have. If you take three psionic powers from the Novice list, and then another one from the Standard/Adept list (which would use up most of your character upgrades that could otherwise be spent on genentic/cybernetic/tech upgrades), then you could start at standard, otherwise you'd be Novice.
Every point spent on Libido gives you one point to spend on the other three sexual stats.

 

Jizzrar said each point of libido makes you that much more vulnerable to seduction but adds 2 points for you to spend on your other sex attributes. So you could spend all 20 in libido and have 40 for everything else but if you do that then an alien that looks like a heap of garbage can wink at you and send you to your knees begging to be fucked.

 

I fixed up my character up above but there was one remaining question: I have hyper regeneration as an upgrade which regens 1 HP per round. That is surely much faster than the base hourly regen of 1, but I saw nowhere in the book that converted rounds to time. So what would Win's hourly HP regen be if she regens 1 HP per round?

 

Thank you both GenericEditor168 & Hematoma! Next question: under "Physical Force", what counts as "Martial Training"? Is it specifically the "Martial Arts Training" skill? Or is it any combat training at all?

 

The libido question already got answered and Generic nailed it with the Psionic Capability question. It works in tandem with the Psionic Upgrade categories where you need 3 abilities to have level 2 and 6 to have level 3 and so on. If you play a psionic class then you also have more abilities. If you are a Psychic Soldier, then Augment counts as a psionic ability. If you are a Blaster, then your force spheres are a psionic ability.

Lookin' good. Still missing Chameleon skill tho. Just....remember that you get +5 Persona when pretending to be a different class (and you can choose what that class is).

As for the regen question, it was my bad that HP/hour. HP/round was meant to replace that, it is completely my fault, sorry about that. However, it is understood that even without Hyper Regen or Nanobots, people heal naturally overtime...it just takes awhile. But with those upgrades it goes between rounds and hours. When in combat and adrenaline is going, it heals per round. But when everything is calm and not active, it converts to hour. So let's just say for convinence it would be 1 HP/hour+HP/round when not in combat.

It is for the martial arts training skill. General combat training can be explained via physical training regiment and military training, and possibly combat class. Martial Training is speficially for those who practiced certain martial arts disciplines.

 

Thx! Chameleon is there! It has been there the whole time actually, I picked Engineer as my fake job and took an engineer kit and tried to stat my character to make myself a believable but mediocre engineer.

 

Alrighty then, fair enough. A bimbo clone assassin hiding out as an engineer. That's quite a sentence to say

CAN'T BELIEVE I DIDN'T SEE THIS GEM!

Now that you said it, the first enemy you all will face might be goo people...prepare your holes

 

Thank you for the clarification!

 

Send them my way! I'll grind their goo like a pro

 

Alright, it's taken me some time, but I think I've come up with a character. Please, everyone, have a look over and tell me what you think!


General Information
Name: Maximilian "Max" Hatten
Race: Human
Class: Psychic Soldier (Commando)
Gender: Male
Physical Appearance: 6'1, 160lbs. Shoulder length dark hair, blue eyes, light skin tone. Muscular from rigorous exercise but not 'bulky'; more 'sleek' or 'slender'... 'lean' muscle. Looks to be in his late 20s.
Character Background: Military (+1 to Mental Resistance), Ship Crew (+1 to HP)
Malady: Battle Scarred (+2 Accuracy & Defense. Persona capped @ 10)
History: Max is the orphaned son of two space merchants. When he was twelve, his mother was taken in a pirate raid that saw his father die; and while he continues to deal with this tragedy, he has never moved past it. He enlisted in the navy when he came of age and found his psionic talents in high demand for many missions. The actions taken by both his teams and himself have left their mark on Max; he has become rather stoic in nature, withdrawn, guarded and difficult to read. While he is a hard person to get to know, those who manage to get past his cold exterior find a selfless, considerate and eternally loyal friend.

Character Skills

• Psychic Soldiers gain training in all weapons other than Heavy Weapons
• Psychic Soldiers gain access to Medium and Light Armor
• Psionic Augmentation - A Psychic Soldier can use a number of augments equal to 25% of their Psionic score per battle. You may augment your defensive capabilities, or attack capabilities. These augments require one action to use, and last until your next turn. Augmenting your defenses increases your Defense stat by your psionic stat, and grants a temporary shield equal to 50% of your psionic stat. Augmenting your attack capabilities increases your damage by 25% of your psionic stat, in addition, depending on your psionic level (1,2, 3, or 4), grants the attack a knock back effect. At level 1, your attack carries a knock down to enemies with a Physical Force of 100 or less. At level 2, 300, level 3, 600, and level 4, 1200. The knockdown requires one action to get back up.
