    Default Nexus Character Thread

    What is this place? Here is the place where aspiring Nexites post their characters, for easy reference. That way, you don't have to describe them every single time they appear!
    What is Nexus? Well, that's a question that can be better answered by the OoC thread.

    Below is a suggested format for character pages, but you can choose to format them however you want. I'm not you boss.

    CHARACTER NAME

    (use color of speech)


    Aliases: Sometimes people go by different names, be they secret identities, titles or simply nicknames. List them here.
    Gender: Woman, man, nonbinary, cosmic genderflux being from beyond time, trash girl from the gender dumpster. Anything you want, really.
    Ancestry/Kin: Not everyone is a human. List your species here, be it elf, dwarf or talking bear.
    Age: The number of years your character has lived. If they are from a particularly long lived race, it may also be appropriate to list a human equivalent in brackets.
    Profession: Characters may have a wide variety of skills. However, if a character has been studying magic or shrubbery for 20 years, it's probably appropriate to call them a 'Wizard' or a 'Shrubber.' Your character's profession goes here.
    Physical Description: A physical description of your character. It's good to be detailed and specific. Most people find it easier to roleplay if they can get a better picture of the characters involved, and it's easier if you've given them more than 'brown-haired Caucasian male wearing armor'. Clothing can possibly go here, if your character's wardrobe is of the limited variety. Images can go here, but anything much larger than avatar size should be spoilered or linked.
    Personality: (optional, but can be fun to include if you want)
    Skills and Gear: Special things your character can do, or special things your character has. Give us an idea of what they're good or terrible at!
    Backstory: let's be honest. you're either not filling this one out, or you're writing three pages worth. do whatever you want.
    Miscellaneous: Anything else that you wanna put down.

    Past ACRONYM and TOWN character threads: here or here.

    Winslow Warwick
    Enhanced Human
    Male
    Age 52
    Married to Winnie Warwick, age 45
    Children: Willow Warwick, age 16
    Wesley Warwick, age 12
    Wendy Warwick, age 8

    [Yellow Zone]

    In the industrial area, a building is rented and has a new sign put out front.

    W
    Warwick Works


    The building itself consists of a small office area in front and warehouses in back. There is no indication of what sort of business this is, but a certain cyborg with a satellite might recognize the logo and name.

    Winslow is a hardworking man who once had his life's work stolen from him. He was forced (forced, I say!) to turn to villainy in order to support his wife and kids. Of course the same wife and kids keep his villainy from being too outright and destructive. After all, he doesn't want to destroy the world they go to school in, and his teenage daughter would never forgive him if he did something flamboyantly evil and embarrassed her in front of her friends.

    Willow is vain enough to enjoy her newfound power over boys, but too naive to recognize how dangerous that power can be. She inherited her dad's knack for engineering, but tries to suppress her interest because, duh, it's like totally lame. However, she did agree to work for her dad for the summer.



    Willow owns: "The other item is a pair of silvery boots, which function as, essentially, rocket boots. They provide short bursts of momentum, enough to gain a good altitude, but insufficient for sustained flight."
    "R54! Vader's Glove
    A robotic glove. Beyond making you look like a hardboiled villain who lost his hand in some dramatic origin story, this glove grants the user the almighty Darth Vader force choke, amongst similar force related telekinesis abilities. It is also incredibly well-insulated against electrical shock, extreme temperatures, and blunt trauma and is likely designed for the non-dominant hand. Motors built into the glove also have the capability to double or triple the bearer's grip strength in case they ever found it necessary to hang onto the wing of an airplane in flight or anything for a dramatic exit to a crime! It should also conform to the shape of their hand like any regular old leather glove."

    Gordon
    Gender: Male
    Race: Human? Blue Dragon
    Age: 42
    Alignment: Neutral Evil
    Class: Rogue

    Description: Other times, for formal occasions like blasting a city or attending a party while plotting a downfall, he wears a tenchcoat with a patten of flames that move.

    Personality: Gordon is a schemer and prefers plots over just starting something. However, get him worked up enough and he'll just start doing things which aren't good for his long-term health. He also hates wasting resources, so that limits him from schemes of pure destruction.

    Equipment: Shock Pistol, upgrade for rail gun, body armor under the coat. Often carries a number of revolers and knives. A grapple gun. Also has access to AMEN's armory, so weapons vary. A energy-resitant armor that can fit him as a human or a dragon.

    Abilities: Gordon has some skill in fighting dirty, exspecially with traps. He also has strong mental defenses, but relies on tech for that protection. He also has enough skill as a pilot to fly about anything. As a blue dragon, he has the power to change back and forth between his human form and his dragon form. He is also now immune to electric-based attacks and as a dragon mostly immune to the effects of lava. Can breath a bolt of lightning, and knows a number of different kinds of magics.

    Backstory: None of your business, except this part: Gordon came to AMEN in what was thought to be its last days. But he reformed AMEN around himself, and nows stands as its head, with all the menace to the rest of Nexus as that position gives him.

    Faction Profile: Ostari Elves

    informal "City Elves"

    The Ostari Elves have lived in the Nexus for thousands of years, living in the city that has always existed in this meeting place of worlds. It has gone by different names, but is currently known as Inside.

    As beings that do not weaken and die as they age, they are naturally loathe to do battle, as they have no immunity to being slain. The conflicts of mortals rarely interest them, and they can often seem cruel and capricious when faced with human suffering.

    Their love is for building, which is fortunate as they live in a city that encounters a great deal of destruction. What magic they have is geared for this purpose, and they are often the ones who repair things offscreen.

    They have no interest in ruling Inside, and are happy to serve whatever government they believe will best promote stability. They don't believe in revolution or civil war. They also have very little interest in the expansion of the empire outside the city.

    Their numbers are few, and most of the population has seen a millenium or more in the nexus.

    Their representative to the Empire is Councillor Veriswen Hiriloth (next post)

    ******

    Restated in plain talk: These are Tolkien elves, proud and aloof and immortal and very old. Like the various divisions of elves tended to have special talents towards certain fields of endeavor (some with ships, some with trees, some with gems), these elves are particularly talented civil engineers and city builders.

    They tend not to care much when humans are injured or killed, as they were going to die soon anyway, but they work very hard on rebuilding the property damage and keeping the city's infrastructure going.

    They're pretty much a bunch of jerks, actually. But useful jerks.

    This is more of a Species Post.
    In progress.

    Race: Echoes.

    Echoes are creatures born of pent-up, repressed emotion; they are "born" by the "parent" puking up a mess of pure existential matter, which quickly forms into the Echo itself.
    The Echo takes on the general body shape of the parent; theoretically, a centaur would produce a centaur-shaped Echo.
    Each Echo is born knowing several things: its birth name, its parent's name, the circumstances leading to its birth, and the Iquaquan (Echo) language.
    They can reproduce normally amongst themselves or with other species.

    There are four main varieties of them.
    Spoiler: Fear Echoes
    Show
    Fear Echoes are, of course, born of fear. Generally lawful, they try to keep themselves and their surrounding under some sort of control.
    They tend to be born with primarily blue-green colors; large teal eyes and blue-green hair. Their fingertips are bluish.
    These fingertips allow them to, with skin contact, transfer and share emotions, thoughts, pain, etc.


    Spoiler: Misery Echoes
    Show
    Misery Echoes are born of deep suffering. On the law-chaos scale, they tend to be neutral.
    They tend to be born with primarily black and violet colors; large violet-dark eyes and black hair.
    Their forefingers contain venomous spurs.


    Spoiler: Rage Echoes
    Show
    Rage Echoes are born of pent-up anger and frustration. They are usually Chaotic, not wanting restraints or rules to hinder them.
    They tend to be born with primarily dark-red colors; large red eyes and crimson hair.
    Their fingers contain retractable talons.


    Spoiler: Mania Echoes
    Show
    Mania echoes are born of insane glee and agitation. They can range from Lawful to Chaotic; sometimes they want to fetter themselves with the comforting constraints of rules, while others want to do whatever they want at any time.
    Their colors are more along the yellow spectrum; neon-yellow eyes and dingy brown hair streaked with yellow. Their fingers contain barbs full of natural stimulant drugs with a short high period and a long, miserable crash period.

    Name: Veriswen Hiriloth
    Race: Ostari Elf
    Sex: Female
    Age: soooo tempted to say >9000, but it's not quite that high. Several millenia though
    Class: Urban druid
    Title: Councillor

    Like most Ostari elves, Veriswen has city building powers, but hers tend towards the tending of urban wildlife. This is of next to no use in combat, which is one of the many reasons that she'll almost never engage in it directly. She has the ability to disappear in plain sight in an urban environment.

    She works on the council to help administor the civic side of the government.

    Backstory:Din's story is a tragedy for most parts. a dead father at young age. slavery at the hands of the drow. the disappearance of the love of her life. Her fight against the cult of dalachrech . these are but a few of her hardships. they have left their mark on her. her life up till now has left her a shambling wreck, held only together by antidepressants, memory suppression, and the help of her friends. most recently, after a short time as a demi goddess (triggered by a death experience after being murdered by Ipholin) , she subcouncously released 6 aspects of herself on the world. having given up most of her powers,


    in the moths away from the nexus, Din has pushed away her angst and fears, and toughened up. Not able to function normally in society ,Din took up work as a bounty hunter staying clear of the nexus for the next 5 years of her life. she now returned (due to quantum only 5 months later) and is not sure she wants to confront her old life

    Name: baby
    Race: Dwarf who identifies as Orcish
    Gender: Female
    Class: Barbarian
    Power level: B



    Baby works as a bouncer in Trog's, and does not leave the thread. She can be godmodded in her bouncer capacity if I am not around.

    History:

    A family of dwarves is caught in a flash flood. Mum and Dad can't escape, but they assemble a makeshift raft and attach their baby to it. Of course they hang on to the very last minute and only let go when it is clear that they are about to be drowned. They die, but the baby is swept downstream and eventually is discovered by a particularly low int orc barbarian who decides to keep her. Being the super creative guy that he is, he names her Baby. Had Baby been any other race, she almost certainly wouldn't have survived his parenting, but she survived and grew up among the orcs, learning to hold her own with the orc children and in the fights with her dad. She is fiercely loyal to her orc tribe and has no desire to rejoin dwarf society.

    Baby's history (according to her): Gruumsh and dwarf god fight over Baby. Dwarf god steal Baby, make Baby born in dwarf body. But Gruumsh tricky. Gruumsh know dwarves not like water and send flood. All real dwarves drown, but Baby not drown. Baby get washed away until Daddy finds Baby. Daddy not god, so no can make Baby look like orc. But Daddy make Baby good orc in everything else. One day, if Baby fight good enough, Gruumsh will give Baby orc body.


    Typical fight with dad:


    "daddy tell baby do dishes!" "daddy not boss of baby!" "baby live under daddy roof, do what daddy say!" "baby go out with friends! baby has life! baby do dishes tomorrow!" "baby do dishes now!" "raawr!" "raawr!"

    ......

    Much later... "dishes all broken now. baby go meet friends." "okay baby. daddy loves baby." "baby loves daddy" *hugs*

    Faction Profile: Acronymian Empire


    Leader: No current individual leader, current major figures in the interim government include ISF General Leon Vettel and Imperial Army General Johnathan Noir
    General Information: The Empire as it is now is a reformed entity, having ousted Emperor Vyrn and his inner circle, and is presently awaiting elections to take mainline power away from the military.
    Equipment, Vehicles, and Sources: (Note, some things may not appear here.)
    Spoiler
    Show

    K-Corp (note: due to K-Corp's destruction, equipment and materiel listed here are becoming limited):
    Spoiler
    Show
    High tech armor, riot gear (stun batons, armor, shields), pulse rifles, hovertanks. Other, more description-warranting assets include gunships-black VTOL craft with whisper engines, a laser chaingun, and wing-mounted turbolasers. Another is a rocket launcher with two rocket types: Normal and Annihilator. The Annihilator rockets... well... To quote KK:
    These revolutionary new rockets use a new type of compact explosive to drive an explosive rod into the target upon impact, completely bypassing its armor! After a few seconds, the explosive rod, predictably enough, explodes, showering the entire inside of the craft (and the outsides of several objects within 10 meters of the craft) with shrapnel.
    ...
    Then the shrapnel explodes.
    Needless to say, these new rockets are highly expensive and impractical, especially considering that they too, have no seeking capability. Only for use against large tanks or airships, when absolutely everything must go!
    The next is basically this, except with laser chainguns, in the words of Kid Kris.

    A more recent purchase is an interesting variety of stealth detectors.
    See-All-Evil Stealth Detectors!

    Coming in a sleek and stylish package, the device consists of a compact backpack, holding the main device, and a small two-way screen that one can look through, rendering the invisible, visible! So simple, even an NPC can use it.
    The cloak detector is powered by Narrativium* and is capable of piercing cloaks, invisibility spells or illusions of all types, except for those running on the rule of cool or plot.
    There are also beam sniper rifles originally from K-Corp, but they have not been used for a while. This could change if a PC squad wanted to use 'em, I guess. These fire piercing energy beams in lieu of a typical sniper rifle round, the piercing capability being quite similar.

    Purchased from Erin's Emporium:
    Spoiler
    Show
    Portable anti-teleportation devices, stun and tear gas

    Themselves:
    Spoiler
    Show
    Laser pistols, electro-grenades, and APCs. Also cloaking devices. Also, all Navy ships, seen later.

    Magtok, directly or otherwise:
    Spoiler
    Show
    Laser cannons, looted and reverse-engineered during the War for Inside. Plasma-launching artillery, designs for which were extorted from Magtok in exchange for not killing him. It looks like a cement truck, only the cement-container-thing is an artillery plasma cannon. Second on the extorted-from-Magtok list is an odd fighter jet type aircraft, with a strange self-powered repulsor unit that looks rather like a heater on the bottom of it, acting as its landing gear. Otherwise, it's armed with a laser-machinegun and eight missiles.


    Alizarin Viscose's inventions:
    Spoiler
    Show
    SA-02 bomber (see entry on the Sanctuary later on).

    Teslafist-An anti-armor and anti-air turret tower, the Teslafist is a product of mad science and magic, forcing technology and magic together in order to power the weapon. The Teslafist fires searing black plasma beams capable of reducing adamantium to white-hot slag. It has variable range, but longer ranges require tighter beams.

    Viscose has also provided the Empire with another unique invention...But what it is is a secret. Move along, citizen.


    Imperial Laboratories products:
    Spoiler
    Show
    FBI-9 Assault Rifle-A weapon created by Imperial Laboratories Designer Tzymine Xanthin, the FBI-9 is chambered for 5.56 mm ammunition. It has a 30-round magazine normally, though it is compatible with a 100-round drum magazine. The gun itself is of moderate power and good accuracy, and is compatible with a 40mm grenade launcher attachment. A number of different types of grenades are available, including standard frag grenades, incendiary grenades, flashbangs, and the typical Imperial electro-grenade.


    Evolution Industries
    Spoiler
    Show
    EvR-1 Variable Blaster Rifle (All): A rifle-type energy weapon, the Variable Blaster uses rechargeable and interchangeable power cells to function. The cells recharge on their own thanks to technology borrowed from Evolution Industries' prior main product, the MACE units, and come in many different varieties, with different types of energy for different situations. The blaster fires energy bolts of different types, determines by the power cell used. The cells run out after thirty shots. The EvR-1 also has an adaptable frame, suitable for many attachments, such as scopes and laser sights.

    EvR-2 Sapper Rifle (Special Forces Only): Outwardly, this weapon looks like a somewhat large and bulky assault rifle. The EvR-2 is much more specialized than the EvR-1, there being no spots suitable for attachments other than one for a simple scope. Under the barrel, where a grenade launcher attachment might go, is an odd detail, looking strangely similar to a laser beam emitter with a trigger of its own. On one side, where a laser sight might be, is a peculiar protrusion, a red power gauge shown on it. The under-barrel attachment is an energy sapper sub-weapon based on MACE technology that drains excess energies from whatever it's used on into the rifle, the power building up as displayed on the power gauge. The power is then channeled into the weapon's ammunition. When fired, energized ammunition will be surrounded by intense, searing-hot energy, giving the weapon extra power.

    EvP-1 Variable Blaster Pistol (All): A pistol-size version of the Variable Blaster. Their power cells are smaller and run out after only 12 shots as compared to the EVR-1. These also recharge on their own, but very slowly,

    EvAT-1 Precision Laser Cannon (All, IA Medium+): An extremely powerful and accurate man-portable anti-tank laser cannon, somewhat similar in appearance to a rocket launcher. It has a scope mounted on one side, and a faint silvery glow is visible in stripes running down part of the length of the weapon at the very back of it. Were you to look into the weapon's barrel, you would see a number of focusing lenses in front of a brightly glowing silver device that powers the weapon.

    EvAT-2 Beam Cannon (Imperial Army, Heavy): A bulkier EvAT-1 in outer appearance, this weapon has a larger power core but a slightly less intense initial blast, and lacks a scope. Its strength is in the intense beam it fires being able to maintain itself for a murderous sweep through masses of enemies, or multiple lighter vehicles.

    EvHW-1 Assault Blaster (Imperial Army, Heavy): This weapon is what happens when you take a variable blaster, remove the variability, put it in a much larger, heavier frame, and give it significantly more rapid-fire capability. It's a very brutal weapon, spewing searing energy at a very high rate. It's similar to the EvAT-1 in appearance, only bulkier, lacking a scope, and the barrel is divided into a number of sub-barrels to allow more shots to be fired at once. This weapon is very simply designed to cut down huge numbers of infantry, and can fire for a long time before having to stop.

    EvM-1 Infernal Edge(s) (All, though will likely see more use with Special Forces): Unusually for weapons designed for Imperial use, 'EvM-1' is the classification for a number of melee weapons. Outwardly, they have small buttons on the hilt or handle, and very dark black blades. The blades, thanks to the material they are constructed from, are very strong and sharp, and can stand much more heat than most metals. The button on the hilt, thus, is actually the on/off switch for another function. The weapons can be superheated to give significant extra power.

    EvA-1 Scout Armor (All): A lighter armor variant for scouts, the Army's new light armor is mainly used for non-special forces stealth units and scouts. It offers little protection against stronger attacks and is designed with maximum mobility in mind. In that aspect, it's more like the older ISF armor. The difference is that the EvA-1 armor comes with a full helmet with a number of scanning features, including x-ray, infrared, night vision, and magic-detecting settings.

    EvA-2 Light Power Armor (Imperial Army): A medium armor variant most similar to K-Corp's older IA armor, this armor features slight strength amplification and offers decent protection from attacks. The helmet features are lesser compared to the EvA-1's, however, with only infrared and night vision settings.

    EvA-3 Power Armor (Imperial Army): The heaviest of the new IA armors, this features excellent protection and significant strength amplification. The helmet features are identical to the EvA-2's, though it's more protective, obviously.

    EvA-4 Spec Ops Stealth Armor (Special Forces): This armor type is suited for special forces, and is fully sealed with some life support capabilities for extreme environments. It has a built-in cloaking device and its helmet comes with EvA-1-level scanners. It's midway in protectiveness between the EvA-1 and EvA-2.

    EvCV-1 Assault Hovertank (Imperial Army): A heavy hovertank not very well suited to urban combat, it is heavily armored and equipped with a rail gun as its main cannon. Its secondary weapon is a rapid-fire blaster turret.

    EvTV-1 Hover IFV (Imperial Army): An armored infantry fighting vehicle, it is mainly used as a transport and light combat vehicle. It is equipped with a rapid-fire blaster turret, similar to the EvAV-1's.

    EvAV-1 Gunship (Imperial Army): A VTOL aircraft similar to the older K-Corp gunship, this one unfortunately lacks its predecessor's whisper engines, that technology not being in Evolution Industries' possession. Instead, it uses a more advanced repulsor drive similar to those found in hover vehicles to move and remain aloft, emitting a low-pitched humming noise when active. It is also black in coloration, and is armed with twin heavy laser cannons and a single rapid-fire blaster turret. All in all, this one actually seems to be a downgrade from the older ones...

    EvAV-2 Aerial Transport (Imperial Army): Another VTOL aircraft, this one is similar to the EvAV-1 in appearance, but loses its heavy cannons and gains a large transport compartment. Versions used by IA Spec Ops soldiers are equipped with cloaking devices.

    Imperial Army:
    Spoiler
    Show
    The Empire has the following army organization.
    Squad-7 soldiers each for Light and Medium squads and 3 for heavy squads, equipment varies depending on situation. IA Heavy squads are more costly to outfit with their superior armor and utterly deadly weapons. One of them is an officer who leads the squad. Officers always have an anti-teleportation device. IA squads come in three types: Light, Medium, and Heavy. Light squads use EvA-1 scout armor and are equipped with lighter weapons. You won't see them with anything heavier than a standard rifle. Medium-armor squads use EvA-2 light power armor and are equipped with a larger variety of weapons, up to standard anti-vehicle weapons. Heavy squads are the slowest but most fearsome, equipped with the largest and most powerful infantry weapons in the Imperial arsenal.

    In addition, Army soldiers can carry other personnel weapons described in the Equipment/Sources section.

    Finally, the main army is spread throughout Imperial territory in general, leaving the Imperial Security Forces as Inside's main peacekeepers. The main army does have a large garrison based at the Imperial HQ in Inside, however. SEE BOTTOM FOR MORE
    Division: 10 normal (Light/Medium) squads.
    Battalion: 10 divisions.


    Imperial Security Forces

    The Imperial Security Forces, bearing an identical acronym to the government's old name, are a reorganized force in Inside itself alone. The new ISF is a quick-response sub-organization of the Imperial Army, with specialized equipment and vehicles. The base of the ISF is the Old Base, previously used in the original War for Inside and a while after before the new HQ was built. The ISF has also taken the old army's riot troopers.

    Spoiler
    Show
    The new ISF is organized a bit differently from the standard army in the wake of repeated conflicts lowering numbers.

    A squad is now 6 soldiers, able to be divided into two fireteams. Leaders coordinate with teams via comlinks for direct orders, and the two senior officers in the squad lead the fireteams.

    Divisions and Battalions are unchanged, but the decreased squad size affects their numbers. Not that these are likely to become relevant due to the nature of the new ISF as a security force rather than the main army, but it's more of an internal organization thing.

    Equipment and vehicle support differ a fair bit from the main army, however.

    Equipment
    Spoiler
    Show
    The equipment of the new ISF is generally lighter than that of the main army, with more emphasis on making more out of less.

    First, the standard Imperial weapon, the pulse rifle, becomes a pulse carbine, similar in difference to a modern-day M16 rifle and an M4 carbine. That is to say, it is a shorter and lighter variant of the normal weapon.

    Another pulse rifle-based weapon is essentially a pulse SMG, a light rapid-fire weapon with shorter effective range than the carbine or rifle. It is usually carried by those carrying heavier weapons as well. This weapon becomes very inaccurate at longer ranges.

    ISF soldiers can elect to carry two other types of main weapons as well. These are the standard Imperial beam sniper rifle and a type of pulse scattergun. This is essentially a pulse weapon in the form of a shotgun, scattering smaller pulse fire projectiles over an adjustable spread.

    Pulse weapons, however, are becoming rarer, thanks to K-Corp's destruction. ISF troopers often use other equipment, such as EvR-1 Variable Blasters and FBI-9 Assault Rifles.

    The sidearm of most ISF soldiers is a fairly standard laser pistol.

    Some soldiers elect to use a newer heavy pistol over the laser pistol. This is the Perforator Heavy Pistol, which fires high-energy plasma. It is a fair bit more powerful than the standard laser pistol, but due to its larger energy drain it requires easily-replaced power cells, essentially a reload, which comes after 12 shots. Still others will use the EvP-1 Variable Blaster Pistol.

    A new and more unique weapon is the Inferno Heavy Blaster. Similar in appearance to a flamethrower, though more high-tech in nature, the Inferno Heavy Blaster emits a special flammable gas, which is then ignited by a small energy discharge. This gives the appearance of a short range gout of flame bursting from the weapon. This flame is extremely hot and likely to burn through most anything short of metal. After all, it's not actually supposed to be an anti-vehicle weapon.

    The standard heavy weapon of the ISF is, oddly enough, not a rocket launcher capable of using Annihilator Rockets. This weapon is the Thousand Hells Variable Energy Cannon. The cannon is held in the same manner of your standard rocket launcher, using the shoulder to support it. The weapon has four set firing modes. These are the Lightning Blast, Pulse Blast, Tribunal Laser, and Repulsor Blast settings. The Lightning Blast setting fires a bolt of lightning at the target, fairly standard. The Pulse Blast setting is basically your standard pulse fire scaled up to a point matching the power of a rocket launcher. The Tribunal Laser is based on the Magtok-created Tribunal Laser Cannon, essentially a laser bazooka weapon. Finally, the Repulsor Blast is an experimental setting of a fairly unique nature. Instead of using repulsorlifts to propel vehicles as in Imperial hovertanks, the Repulsor Blast setting uses simple force as its means of destruction, firing a force blast at approximately the strength required to match the destructive power of a standard rocket blast, in a more localized area. This is a precision setting in that the force only hits a certain spot rather than the explosive power of a rocket.

    The ISF will also use EvAT-1 Precision Laser Cannons.

    The standard ISF close-combat weapon is the Supercharger combat knife, also used by the Army. A device in the knife's hilt transfers electricity into the blade, electrocuting it and allowing for greater power. This feature can be turned on or off at will by the push of a button. However, the Superchargers are now in competition with Evolution Industries' EvM-1 Infernal Edges. Both still commonly appear.

    The ISF, since Evolution Industries' takeover of the role of the Empire's main military supplier, uses EvA-1 Scout Armor.

    As another note, the ISF also employs standard Imperial riot squads.


    Vehicles
    Spoiler
    Show
    The first vehicle of note belonging to the ISF is the Warp-class landspeeder. It hovers above the ground, with two engine-like structures on the sides of the landspeeder which account for its forward propulsion. The landspeeder is capable of achieving very high speeds, and has a single rapid-fire pulse laser turret mounted on the rear. This can potentially be switched out for another type of turret. The landspeeder has room for 7 people, including the driver. The remaining 6 seats are usually used to carry an ISF squad. The drivers' seat and canopy are similar to a car's, made of bulletproof glass. If the soldiers are particularly in need of extra firepower, the landspeeder is also similar to a convertible in that this glass canopy is retractable.

    The second ISF vehicle is an anti-riot APC, carrying a riot squad. The standard APC machine gun turret is replaced by one that fires sticky foam to incapacitate rioters.

    The ISF's main air vehicle is a rather odd one. Whisper engines like those found in gunships on the back, the ISF Deliverance Sky-Transport is a VTOL craft that carries a single ISF squad. The vehicle itself is oddly similar to a flying saucer, though it has a drop pod-for quick deployment of the ISF squad-mounted on the bottom of it, with the cockpit coming out of the front of the transport, which is likely defined only by this fact and the engines on the opposite end. The transport can also land to unload the carried squad manually, and the drop pod function is rarely used. Small wings on the sides and rear account for maneuvering, and the vehicle is armed with two rapid-fire pulse laser weapons mounted on the sides, able to adjust for anti-air or anti-ground duties.



    [Special Assets]

    Airborne Aircraft Carrier Sanctuary
    Spoiler
    Show
    The airborne carrier Sanctuary's much simpler to describe than the Haven, since it's based on a preexisting craft. It looks rather like this, though it is not entirely the same as what its base is taken from, mostly in the area of armaments. It does not possess the same level of armaments as the Haven, lacking bomb bays entirely. It does, however, have numerous laser chaingun and laser cannon emplacements for defensive purposes.

    What the Sanctuary excels at, though, is obvious. It's an airborne aircraft carrier for crying out loud. It carries a large number of aircraft, likely inspired by the relative success of the Haven's deployment in the brief and bloody Acro-Felinian War, backed up by large numbers of aircraft, but with many of them wiped out or found to be damaged beyond repair upon returning. The Haven itself narrowly averted this fate as it returned to Inside. The Sanctuary is meant to eliminate that weakness.

    The Sanctuary carries unique aircraft, including:

    SF-01 Gatekeeper
    Spoiler
    Show
    Continuing with the naming theme of the Haven and Sanctuary, the SF-01 Gatekeeper is a craft designed for air-to-air combat. The aircraft has powerful twin engines and much more traditional landing gear than your typical Acro-Imperial fighter, instead of the space heater-like landing repulsor unit. More distinctively, the craft possesses forward-swept wings. The SF-01 has two laser machine guns on the front, along with 8 rather small anti-air missiles in an internal bay. Four larger missiles are mounted on the craft's wings. The internal missiles are small and traditional, but the four larger ones explode into showers of plasma.


    SA-01 Apocalypse
    Spoiler
    Show
    The SA-01 Apocalypse takes a much more ominous nickname than most Acro-Imperial craft thus far. While many might think it cliche'd, with all that's happened in Acro (or Town, if you prefer that) it is more than capable of striking fear into the hearts of many people. The SA-01 is a dedicated air-to-ground attacker, or bomber. Its design is even more on the traditional side than the SF-01. It possesses a single, large engine. Its wings are more standard than the SF-01's. All in all, it's a large, lumbering brute of a plane. In spite of its lack of fancifulness, the aircraft makes up for it in raw power. It mounts a laser chaingun on the front and carries 8 air-to-ground missiles in an internal bay, rather similar to the SF-01's AAs. It becomes a greater threat when you see the four larger anti-ground missiles mounted on its wings. They're quite similar to the SF-01's missiles, exploding into showers of plasma in addition to a conventional missile's effects. And, finally, the plane carries two Annihilator-based bombs, exploding in a similar manner to your standard Annihilator Rocket, in that the shrapnel it throws explodes.


    SA-02 Thunderclap
    Spoiler
    Show
    Based on the original SA-01, the SA-02 has had some rather bizarre alterations thanks to mad scientist and mage Alizarin Viscose. Much of the hull has been replaced with wood and canvas, and the wings with air sails and fins. On each wing and in the rear is a black tube, emitting a constant blue flame. These are magical jets, used in place of conventional engines.

    It's been completely stripped of the SA-01's standard payload of conventional warheads, Annihilator-style bombs, and plasma missiles, along with the heavy rapid-fire laser. To compensate in a sense, it is much faster and more maneuverable than the original craft.

    The SA-02's payload consists of hundreds of coin-sized silver discs, which at first might not appear to do much upon hitting the ground-but after a slight delay, the spell sealed within is activated, calling down a single lightning strike for each coin, each blast fueling the next, and only leaving stray ball lightning and a line of molten silver in the wake of the attack.

    The SA-02 is largely a single-strike bomber, ideal for softening up targets for SA-01 or SF/A-01 attacks. As mentioned, it's much faster and more maneuverable than the SA-01, making it more suitable for evading anti-air defenses. The nature of its warhead delivery system-essentially a carpet bombing-means it does not have much capacity for more than one strike.


    SF/A-01 Blackjack
    Spoiler
    Show
    The SF/A-01 Blackjack doesn't carry any particular nickname pattern, though its nickname may be in reference to its role as a jack-of-all-trades compared to the SF-01 and SA-01. The craft is rather conventional, with traditional wings similar to the SA-01. It has dual engines and dual laser machine guns, more like the SF-01. The SF/A-01 carries a more balanced payload than the other two aircraft. It possesses 4 small air-to-air missiles and 4 small air-to-ground missiles in an internal bay, and has two of the larger, plasma-showering missiles, one on each wing. One is anti-air, and one is anti-ground. It possesses two conventional bombs, mounted on the wings alongside the larger missiles.


    SSF/A-01 Vengeance
    Spoiler
    Show
    The SSF/A-01 is a new multirole stealth jet designed in the wake of two sieges on Inside, the first being the Acro-Felinian war and the second siege being staged by presently unknown forces believed to be linked to the destruction of the Haven. The SSF/A-01 was designed to eliminate mass casualties suffered by Sanctuary fighters in the second of the two sieges to enemy anti-aircraft fire. This craft is meant to be able to slip in, attack, and slip out without being fired upon once again.

    In appearance, it is a semi-futuristic jet aircraft with very odd wings. They appear similar to those of this aircraft at lower speeds. When it achieves a high enough speed, these wings 'fold' backwards, becoming more similar to this.

    The SSF/A-01 is armed with twin medium laser guns. These are essentially powerful armor-piercing laser guns with a slower rate of fire than your standard pulse lasers/laser machineguns. These are designed with surprise attacks in mind, for dealing maximum damage with less firing.

    The Vengeance lacks bombs, while it does carry missile weaponry in internal bays. It carries six general-purpose standard missiles, made more difficult to store due to being general-purpose rather than dedicated-purpose, which made more guidance systems necessary and made it more difficult to miniaturize them. In addition, there are four other more unique missiles in the Vengeance's arsenal, named Driller missiles. They are essentially anti-armor missiles in that they have an Annihilator Rocket-like end, an explosive rod that is driven into its target on impact. However, unlike the Annihilators, they do not throw explosive shrapnel, instead releasing a small amount of extremely volatile gas into the air that ignites violently due to the, you know, explosion, essentially adding a smaller, but still significant, blast to the missile. The gas ignited is actually an altered version of that used in the ISF Inferno Heavy Blaster, only going beyond its power.


    Judging by the higher performance of Sanctuary-based craft to the normal air force, those pilots assigned to the Sanctuary are likely of the highest skill levels the Empire can field. The Sanctuary's comparative lack of armament compared to the Haven is easily compensated for by its aircraft and pilots.


    Aerial Weapons Platform/Battlecruiser Supremacy
    Spoiler
    Show
    Commanded by former Haven and intended Spectre captain Anthony Cross, the Supremacy is the Empire's latest giant flying acquisition, constructed at the Mountain Base as Sanctuary was, though this time with Evolution Industries assistance.

    Outwardly, the Supremacy initially appears relatively unremarkable: Jet black in coloration, it has long, wide wings with navy-colored stripes on them branching out from a central frame, with a fairly short bridge tower on top of and in the back of this frame. At the rear is a large, white-glowing cluster of high-tech engines, emitting a loud humming noise rather than the roar of a jet engine. Mounted under the wings are a number of smaller but similar engines used to assist in maneuvering the giant craft. The ship is also equipped with a shield generator.

    However, the Supremacy is more than what it may initially seem to be.

    The Supremacy's main weapons of note are a pair of massive beam cannons that deploy from concealment from both port and starboard sides of the ship, forward from the wings. Similarly to the EvAT-2 Beam Cannon, only scaled much further up, these fire ultra-intense, wide white beams that maintain themselves for roughly five seconds before needing to recharge. Even at a glancing non-sustained hit, these are capable of putting more lightly-armored targets in a world of hurt, and when held on a target, can break through almost any armor or shields.

    This battlecruiser also has other weapons, mainly used for point defense. The front, rear, and underside of the craft are dotted with smaller anti-air emplacements such as rapid-fire AA laser turrets and missile launchers. The craft notably lacks heavy turbolasers as with the older Haven and Spectre, instead reliant on its twin ultra-heavy beam cannons to break armored targets. This means that with its limited truly heavy weaponry, it would not hold up in direct combat against large numbers of ground-based armored anti-air vehicles. At least, it would not if it was alone.

    The Supremacy is mostly meant to take on ultra-heavy targets like other oversized flying objects or naval vessels rather than normal combat. If used in such an engagement, it would meed to be supported by the Sanctuary's smaller aircraft or similarly normal-sized fighters from another source.

    Overall, it could be said that the Supremacy is designed for just that-guaranteeing the supremacy of the Acronymian Empire in the realm of massive aerial power.

    Imperial Navy:

    Spoiler
    Show
    1 Blitz-class Amphibious Light Destroyer (Blitz)

    A unique type of naval craft filling in the role of destroyers. They actually hover over the water instead of floating in it like a boat. This grants them some degree of amphibious capability, but their hover units are specifically designed to hover over water, meaning that they suffer from extremely poor maneuverability when run aground.

    Their hovering nature also makes them faster than most naval craft.

    Armaments:

    A pair of double pulse cannons, similar in function to the pulse rifle, only scaled up to around the point of modern-day six-inch guns. One on each end of the ship.

    3 general purpose missile launchers, with 15-missile magazines. Could potentially be loaded with Annihilators, which is why there are relatively few compared to a normal destroyer, from what I've heard of (from a mister Bushranger). Please correct this if it is inaccurate. In fact feel free to correct me on these in general, since I'm not really much of a navy expert. I'm also aware that those have very small magazines-see: Annihilators.

    4 anti-air laser chainguns, two on each end of the ship.

    They do not carry anti-sub weaponry due to their hovering nature, which makes them less vulnerable to submarines-or at least, those reliant on torpedoes.

    The Blitz class also carries radar equipment.

    The Blitz seems to have been upgraded with a shield generator recently.

    Finally, the Blitz class has one helipad to accommodate a single helicopter or gunship.

    2 Prowler-class Frigates (Prowler, Seeker)

    This type is smaller than the Blitz class. The Prowler class is also much more straightforward than the Blitz-namely, it does not hover. It possesses a single dual pulse gun-much like those on the Blitz-mounted on the front side (I forget the naval term) of the ship, and a pair of general purpose missile launchers with 15-missile magazines. Again, small magazines to maintain relative balance due to the potential for Annihilators. There's also a pair of AA laser chainguns, one on each end of the ship.

    It also possesses four seeker-torpedo tubes, two on each side of the ship.

    The Prowler class also carries sonar and radar equipment.

    4 Assailant-class Corvettes (Assailant, Viper, Black Widow, Assassin)

    The Assailant class is smaller than the Prowler class, being at the bottom of the named conventional ship scale. It is armed with two single pulse guns-one on each end, predictably-and a seeker-torpedo tube on each side of the ship. It also has a single AA laser chaingun and a single general-purpose missile launcher-the same 15-missile magazine-d type as on the Blitz and Prowler. The Assailant-class also possesses sonar capabilities.

    Patrol Boats

    Not notable enough to have names or specific numbers (being even smaller than the Assailant), these are armed with a single pulse gun and a single seeker-torpedo tube. And sonar, obviously.

    4 Phantasm-class Submarines (Phantasm, Illusion, Hallucination, Fabrication)

    The Phantasm class submarine is armed with three seeker-torpedo tubes on each side and one on the front and rear of the ship. It possesses sonar capability, obviously.

    Also equipped with a cloaking device.

    Headquarters: The Imperial Army HQ and ISF HQ lie in Inside, along with the Acro-Imperial Government Complex (post is from when it initially popped up), which is slated to become more important in the near future.
    Current Territory: Inside (Capital), the Mountain Base, many villages and small towns Outside
    Bases: HQ (Inside), Old Base/ISF HQ (Inside), Mountain Base (located in/on a mountain in Imperial Territory, obviously), small garrisons in villages/small towns in Imperial Territory as previously mentioned


    SPECIAL: ISF squads can be led by PCs if the PCs in question join the ISF. Highly encouraged by me! The player of a PC with a squad can control it, and decide what exactly they're carrying. ISF squads with PC leaders will have the leader in question attached to them, bringing their numbers up to 7.

    Faction Profile: Evolution Industries (formerly Evolution Electronics and Power)

    Spoiler
    Show


    Background: Long ago while the old GLoG base was intact, a certain psychic received six Zero-Point Modules from the Bushranger. These were powerful high-tech batteries, in a sense, capable of providing power for thousands of years, but with the capacity to destroy half of an Earth-sized planet if they overloaded. One went to power WATCHTOWER's airship, while one was often abused for firing gigantic lasers at targets DC really wanted eliminated. Eventually, DC got his hands on a temporary intelligence boost and modified one. This produced something called a Mass Acquisition and Conversion of Energy (MACE) Unit-modified ZPMs with far lower maximum energy capacity used to suck in ambient energies around them. In the Nexus, the sheer number of universes contributing to this produces a great amount (ambient magic and such things are great for that), allowing the unit to provide power essentially indefinitely without the problem of ZPM-style destruction. DC went to the Ostari to make a deal-to produce more of these units as power for Inside. From there, DC formed the company now known as Evolution Electronics and Power, which later took over the arms production role left empty by K-Corp and became known as Evolution Industries.

    Leader/CEO/Owner/Whatever: DC. He uses the alias of D. Halley for legal papers, but at this point it's pretty well-known that it's him.

    Headquarters: A tower-ish structure in Inside, by no means a skyscraper.

    MACE Installation (Class 3 MACE Unit): A significant investment for all involved, these require construction at dedicated sites rather than normal production facilities. These could power a large section of Inside by themselves. None have been constructed as of this moment.

    EvR-1 Variable Blaster Rifle: A rifle-type energy weapon, the Variable Blaster uses rechargeable and interchangeable power cells to function. The cells recharge (albeit very slowly, recharging them via an external source is much more functional) on their own thanks to technology borrowed from Evolution Industries' prior main product, the MACE units, and come in many different varieties, with different types of energy for different situations. The blaster fires energy bolts of different types, determines by the power cell used. The cells run out after thirty shots. The EvR-1 also has an adaptable frame, suitable for many attachments, such as scopes and laser sights.

    EvP-1 Variable Blaster Pistol: A pistol-size version of the Variable Blaster. Their power cells are smaller and run out after only 12 shots as compared to the EVR-1. They recharge similarly to the EvR-1's cells.

    EvM-1 Infernal Edge(s): Unusually for weapons (originally) designed for Imperial use, 'EvM-1' is the classification for a number of melee weapons. Outwardly, they have small buttons on the hilt or handle, and very dark black blades. The blades, thanks to the material they are constructed from, are very strong and sharp, and can stand much more heat than most metals. The button on the hilt, thus, is actually the on/off switch for another function. The weapons can be superheated to give significant extra power. These come in many forms, all bladed melee weapons. Note: Only knife/dagger type versions of these are available for civilian purchase.

    EvA-1 Light Armor: A lighter armor type originally meant for Imperial Army scouts, it offers little protection against stronger attacks and is designed with maximum mobility in mind. The EvA-1 armor comes with a full helmet with a number of scanning features, including x-ray, infrared, night vision, and magic-detecting settings.

    EvA-2b Work Suit: A variant of the EvA-2 power armor (see Reserved), the EvA-2b work suit is a stripped down version of it, sacrificing its armor for a greater focus on strength amplification. It's useful for moving heavy loads and the like.

    EvA-4b Enviro-Suit (see Reserved): An EvA-4 armor variant stripped of its armor and stealth functions and made to focus more on protecting from environmental hazards. It protects from extreme heat, cold, acid, and the like, and even protects against vacuum...unless it's punctured or its stored air runs out, that is.

    EvR-2 Sapper Rifle: Outwardly, this weapon looks like a somewhat large and bulky assault rifle. The EvR-2 is much more specialized than the EvR-1, there being no spots suitable for attachments other than one for a simple scope. Under the barrel, where a grenade launcher attachment might go, is an odd detail, looking strangely similar to a laser beam emitter with a trigger of its own. On one side, where a laser sight might be, is a peculiar protrusion, a red power gauge shown on it. The under-barrel attachment is an energy sapper sub-weapon based on MACE technology that drains excess energies from whatever it's used on into the rifle, the power building up as displayed on the power gauge. The power is then channeled into the weapon's ammunition. When fired, energized ammunition will be surrounded by intense, searing-hot energy, giving the weapon extra power.

    EvR-3 Repeater Blaster: A large rifle-type weapon, it resembles a larger EvR-1 in appearance. It's essentially a more rapid-fire focused version of the original model and is something of a cross between the EvR-1 and EvHW-1 in function. It retains the EvR-1's variable power cell capabilities, however, and its larger power cells run out after sixty shots.

    EvR-4 Beam Rifle: This weapon is a favorite of Evolution's head, and is certainly an odd one. It fires small but deadly sustained beams that can last for several seconds before the weapon has to stop firing, or it can be stopped by simply releasing the trigger. It's useful for sweeping through multiple targets. Its large (for a weapon of its size) power cells recharge at a decent rate, though constant use of sustained beams will drain them faster than they can recharge. This version of the weapon does not have DC's version's variability.

    EvP-2 Beam Pistol: A pistol version of the EvR-4, its beams lose much of the larger version's sustainability and can only last two to three seconds before stopping. Its recharging capability is also lessened, so using even this level of sustained-beam fire constantly will drain it quickly, as with the EvR-4's sustained-beam fire.

    EvSR-1 Laser Sniper Rifle: A large, precise laser rifle used for sniping. It features a long-range scope and its lasers are extremely accurate. Its laser fire is also powerful enough to punch through light armor.

    EvAT-1 Precision Laser Cannon: An extremely powerful and accurate man-portable anti-tank laser cannon, somewhat similar in appearance to a rocket launcher. It has a long-range scope mounted on one side, and a faint silvery glow is visible in stripes running down part of the length of the weapon at the very back of it. Were you to look into the weapon's barrel, you would see a number of focusing lenses in front of a brightly glowing silver device that powers the weapon.

    EvAT-2 Beam Cannon: A bulkier EvAT-1 in outer appearance, this weapon has a larger power core but a slightly less intense initial blast, and lacks a scope. Its strength is in the intense beam it fires being able to maintain itself for a murderous sweep through masses of enemies, or multiple lighter vehicles.

    EvHW-1 Assault Blaster: This weapon is what happens when you take a variable blaster, remove the variability, put it in a much larger, heavier frame, and give it significantly more rapid-fire capability. It's a very brutal weapon, spewing searing energy at a very high rate. It's similar to the EvAT-1 in appearance, only bulkier, lacking a scope, and the barrel is divided into a number of sub-barrels to allow more shots to be fired at once. This weapon is very simply designed to cut down huge numbers of infantry, and can fire for a long time before having to stop.

    EvA-2 Power Armor: A medium armor variant, this armor features some strength amplification and offers good protection from many attacks, especially small arms. The helmet features are lesser compared to the EvA-1's, however, with only infrared and night vision settings.

    EvA-4 Spec Ops Stealth Armor: This armor type is suited for special forces, and is fully sealed with some life support capabilities for extreme environments. It has a built-in cloaking device and its helmet comes with EvA-1-level scanners. It's midway in protectiveness between the EvA-1 and EvA-2.


    Power Rates: Evolution charges very low rates for use of MACE units to supply power. This is due to the extreme ease of power output by MACE units-near no maintenance, and no ongoing fuel costs, for two examples. These rates will likely undercut most anything normal.

    Note on Rechargeables: EI power technology will not recharge properly outside the Nexus, thanks to its odd nature. Weapons and the like can still be manually recharged, but MACE units will become completely useless.

    Evolution Security: The company handles its own security with armed guards. Evolution Security has access to all EI products, but usually only appears using publicly available gear.

    Erin Patricia O'Connell (I)
    (Not to be confused with Erin (II), Aeryn, or Arina, all of whom are really the same person as her. Yes, you will need a scorecard.)

    Theme song: "Flirtin' With Disaster"

    Alias: Acro-Erin
    Gender: Female
    Race: Human Metahuman/Ghost Hybrid
    Alignment: True Neutral
    Affiliation: HALO
    Age: 5 years (post-cloning; relativiistic)
    Class (or approximation): Ghost hybrid; Rogue
    Profession: Arms dealer. Adventurer and VERY Naughty Girl
    Power Level: B+
    Description:(NOTE: She has blue eyes. Tekteks are being fixed - slowly.)
    Dressed as Sept:
    Tall and curvaceous, can change her clothes at will a khaki t-shirt, jeans, and sneakers (gray socks!). Or...er...nothing at all...
    White hair, slightly glowing green eyes, and a noticably low body temperature. Bleeds green ectoplasm.
    Personality: Hot-headed, impulsive, extroverted, caring, submissive.
    Abilities: Ectoblasts, shielding, teleportation, etc. High level spells, too.
    Backstory: BR's clone. Not the same person as Town-Erin. Was married to Mike, and has a child from the future, Patricia, who came back in time. And Patty has a bratty brother from the future too who never got off the ground before Kyr vanished :(. Adopted May, and then went though hard times when she cheated, May was killed, etc. Went walkabout. Came back, got a conditional perma-deadtime divorce, and is currently involved with Angela (but also crushes on Tobias...). Owns Erin's Emporium, a arms dealer, Inside, but leaves Crissy to run the place nowadays (). OWNED EE, but with Mike's return faced a distinct dilemma, still loving him but also loving Angela and refusing to break either's heart. Therefore, she fished the Dup-o-Matic out of storage, and zapped herself with it. The split was even, but the personalities...well, this Erin, staying at HALO and with Angela (...and Tobias...) is rather more, shall we say, free-spirited, and has decided to let the 'other Erin', now Aeryn, take over the Emporium...

    Jamie/Mikani's Powers and Abilities
    Spoiler
    Show

    ~In both forms~

    Limited telepathy/empathy
    Both Jamie and Mikani have limited telepathic abilities. They cannot randomly 'speak' to just anybody. However, through concentration and mutual consent, she can forge a permament (and 'turn-offable', of course. ) link with the mind of a friend, through which they can converse at any distance while on the same plane, and can sense emotions when within line-of-sight.


    Immunity to possession
    Both Jamie and Mikani are immune to possession attempts. Any attempt to possess her will be violently rejected by her Magical Girl nature (which, de facto, is kind-of sort-of 'possessing' her already, and doesn't appreciate sharing). This is not, however, immunity to mind control and suggestion, to which she is better at resisting than the average person, but is, by no means, immune to.



    ~as Jamie~

    Headache projection
    Jamie can cause a person within 50 feet, and with line of sight to, to suffer a sudden, searing headache for a brief period.


    Sonic blasts
    Jamie can project low-powered sonic blasts from her hands. These are useful as stun weapons, and for doing things like snapping padlocks off doors.


    Astral projection
    Jamie can project a 'holographic' image of herself to places she has been before, regardless of her location (and the location of the destination, even if on another plane). She can be seen and heard by those at the 'receving end', however she cannot interact* with any objects on the 'receiving end', and on the 'sending end' is in a semi-consious, meditative state and cannot defend herself. If disturbed, however, she will awaken, severing the projection connection.

    *Except with certain horizontal surfaces (beds, floors, and the like). Don't ask how this works.



    ~as Mikani~

    Earth manipulation/Water manipulation
    Mikani can cause minor geomantic effects, however this puts a considerable strain upon her. She can cause cracks in the earth to open and close, cause very small, localised tremors, and can soften or harden mud and sand over a limited area. She can also cause minor hydromantic effects, including the creation of jets and fountains of water.


    Dire Kudzu
    Mikani's favourite attack is the feared Dire Kudzu. Dire Kudzu is a vine with large, heart-shaped leaves, fragrant purple flowers...and wicked, inch-long thorns with the sharpness of razor blades and the hardness of adamantium. Dire Kudzu grows rapidly when she is creating it, and can ensnare a large creature or fill a small room in literally seconds. When she severs her connection with the vine, it dies rapidly - over a matter of minutes or hours, depending on the size of the plant - but remains dangerous until burned, or it rots.


    Telekinensis
    Mikani has minor "Force-like" abilities. She can call an object to her hand over a limited distance, and is able of augmenting her jumps and other athletic abilities using telekinesis.


    Pain Removal
    Mikani possesses limited "healing" abilities. While she cannot actually heal an injury, she can cause the pain of an injury to not be felt, reducing it to a feeling of "presence", as opposed to actual pain. This effect lasts until the injury is re-aggrivated in some way, or is treated.


    Combo Attacks
    A special case, Mikani can, in combination with other Magical Girls, channel geoenergy into powerful energy blasts, that combine with those of her companions' to produce a multitude of effects.

    Name: Charity "Cherry" Evans

    Profession: Artist / Chromamancer

    Race: Human

    Sex:
    Female

    Values: Charity is a good person who is a pacifist and devout atheist. Though she has seen evidence of 'gods' in the Nexus, she doesn't believe that there was one or more intelligent forces that created the multiverse, and that very powerful beings that call themselves gods are just narcissists. As such, she despises any being that expects to be worshipped.

    Power Level: E

    Special Abilities: Knows normal first aid. Color based magic.

    Appearance: She changes her hair and eye color often, but the natural color is brown hair and hazel eyes. She has the tattoo of a pair of cherries on her left thigh. Tends towards curviness, despite the skinniness of the second avatar.





    Theme songs: We've Got Tonight and Straight from the Heart and For You

    Charity comes from RL North Carolina, and was originally horrified by the chaos and violence of Acro. She discovered her latent chromamancy though, and has really come to love the wild variety of people, though she still isn't used to the casual regard for life. She developed a habit of binge drinking and looking for males of different species to have friends-with-benefits relationships with. (What? She's an artist! She likes novelty! )

    Eventually one of her FWBs, Edijar, managed to insinuate himself into her heart to the point where she confessed that her fear of commitment is tied in to the fact that she had to have an emergency hysterectomy and she has had a lot of trouble coming to terms with her infertility. She was finally able to commit to Edijar, though she's still not very good at monogamy. She finally got help for her PTSD and stopped binge drinking.

    After a confrontation with Remnant's chief doctor, Bugs, Charity realized that pacifism wasn't enough to support her life-first values, and she started training as a medic, with the goal of eventually becoming a registered nurse.

    Possessions:
    The second art piece is a circular mosaic. Much like the statue, it's subdued in colouration, but polished and assembled in such a way that it seems to move along with the viewer's gaze. It portrays the head of a dull red dragon on the background of a snow-capped mountain and grey sky. - purchased at the Thanksmas Auction from Dipsnig

    Field Guide to the Superhuman and Supernatural Powers of Danielle Williams



    Teleporting: Dani can teleport herself, anything she is carrying, and anyone she is touching and consiously desiring to teleport along with her, for an indeterminate distance (estimated 1,000 miles) naturally, and, with enhancers, over unlimited range and even to other planes. This is not a pleasant experience for those other than Dani herself; it has been described as being "like being turned inside out upside down and backwards while being spun around both like a top and end over end inside a kalidoscope on LSD". After multiple teleports some immunity to the effects is built up but first-timers can expect to lose their lunch, at the very least; at least one person teleported by her wound up catatonic for hours.

    Teleporting multiple times repeatedly (approximately 5 teleports without rest, or 20 with short breaks in between) takes a lot out of Dani and she will need a hearty meal before returning making additional teleports.

    Accuracy is very good to excellent for places Dani has previously been; a favourite trick of hers is to appear in a bar squarely on a seat she's sat on before. Accuracy does not appear to degrade over distance, however teleporting to unfamiliar areas reduces it significantly. When teleporting to a location she has not previously been she prefers not to take anyone along with her due to the reduced accuracy; they might wind up falling. It is believed that her teleporting cannot materialise within another object, or the earth.

    Being psionic in nature, Dani's teleporting is not blocked by transport scramblers or anti-magic devices/spells. Anti-psionic devices/effects prevent the teleport from being initiated (if strong) or divert the teleport to the edge of the area of effect (if weak).

    Dani can also teleport small objects (sheets of paper, for instance) over short distances.


    Storm of Crystals: Dani can summon a swarm of razor-sharp astral crystals, which are flung at a target at high speed, slashing, lacerating and stabbitying the victim. Being hit by these is exquisitly painful and the wounds tend to bleed profusely.

    Dani can, with concentration, summon single crystals to her hand.

    Headaches: By concentrating on a target, Dani can, if she so desires, cause her selected victim to suffer a sudden, sharp headache. This is at the very least distracting, and can increase to the level of a migrane with sufficent concentration and/or vulnerability of the target.

    Touch Telepathy: This is a very weak power, and is not one Dani even knows she has yet. When with someone she has previoulsly been...intimate with, she can, if she is touching a part of the head with a part of hers, read surface thoughts, and communicate telepathically. She cannot over any range beyond literally head-to-head, and also cannot with anyone she has not been 'intimate' with.

    Metabolism and Immune System: Danielle has a hyperactive metabolism as a result of her powers, leading to her hyperactivity and her need to consume large quantities of food (and the ability to do this without gaining any weight). Her immune system is also hyperactive; she is incapable of becoming ill from virtually any mundane disease, and magical diseases will find their
    virtulence much reduced from its normal state. In addition, the effects of aging are even mitigated somewhat. The downside of this is that those who live fast, die young, and she knows she is likely to 'burn out' at some point. Burnout would result in immune system shutdown, rapid aging, and death

    Weapons Proficency: Dani is a good shot with most projectile and energy weapons, although her fast metabolism and high-strung nature often throw off her aim slightly through slight tremors of the hand. With edged weapons she is passable, although due to her physical frailty she much prefers not to engage in combat with anything other than ranged weapons.

    Defensive Bracers: Dani wears a pair of bracelets that appear to be merely decorative red stones. These are, however, enchanted with protective spells, that are of a yet undetermined sort, but appear to function similar to the effects of Bracers of Armor.

    That heart-shaped necklace: Sometimes an amulet is just an amulet.

    "Sunny" Aurora Lapham Evans (note to Kris: please index under S)
    Gender: Female
    Race: Human
    Age: mid-20s
    Alignment: good
    Class: Engineer, machine empath
    Power Rating: E
    Characteristics: Agoraphobic: Will not leave GLoG, though is not at all bothered by being in the Rose Garden. Rarely leaves the Auxiliary MagCave. Is also afraid of being touched, and deeply bothered by nudity and public displays of affection. Spends most of her time in her lab at Watchtower. Has recovered from her agoraphobia enough to handle being outdoors, though she is still very uncomfortable in crowds. She is able to shake hands with people, and is okay with being touched by Carl, her boyfriend fiancé husband (though she's not ready for curtain activity)
    Affiliation: GLoG, MagIndustries, Watchtower, Evans Vehicles and Robotics, Contractor for Mortal Coil Remnant, Aurora


    Description:

    Has a tattoo of a sun just below her left collarbone.

    Sunny was a MagTern who went to the Apoca-Con where she inhaled the aerosolized potion that removed her sapience. After a horrifying night spent in the outdoors with other sub-sapients, she sought shelter in GLoG. Some part of her mind knew that Inside was safer than Outside.

    At first, she was frightened of males, but with limited memory of the attacks she had endured, and only receiving kind treatment from the people she encountered in GLoG, she soon lost this. She seems to pick up words easily, and is very interested in tools and electronics. Her most precious possession is a screwdriver she found while exploring, which she has used to dismantle and reassemble whatever she can find.

    Later, after she was reunited with her sister Charity, she got most of her memory and intelligence back, but not all of it. She worked as a MagTern for some time longer, and is still devoted to the Magbots.

    She now works for Remnant, where she met Carl Goodfellow, the halfling who gave her a motive to get over her fears of intimacy. They married in Summer 2011 and moved to a cabin out in the wilderness. They hope to have a family, but they knew after talking to Bugs that their chances of having a successful pregnancy were low. Because of that, they decided not to use contraception and to leave it up to chance.

    I will remember you Though about her grief for her lost memories, so the title doesn't fit at all.

    I will remember you
    Will you remember me?
    Don't let your life pass you by
    Weep not for the memories

    I'm so tired but I can't sleep
    Standin' on the edge of something much too deep
    It's funny how we feel so much but we cannot say a word
    Though we are screaming inside oh we can't be heard

    I will remember you
    Will you remember me?
    Don't let your life pass you by
    Weep not for the memories

    I'm so afraid to love you, but more afraid to loose
    Clinging to a past that doesn't let me choose
    But once there was a darkness, deep and endless night
    You gave me everything you had, oh you gave me light

    That I will remember you
    Will you remember me?
    Don't let your life pass you by
    Weep not for the memories

    I will remember you
    Will you remember me?
    Don't let your life pass you by
    Weep not for the memories


    Sunny's robots:

    IZK-alpha: her best friend, despite being a simple machine that has no self-awareness, built when she was recovering from the anti-sapience potion.
    Ibit: A hand size robot in possession of Pat that allows her to communicate with the hive.
    RC series: Recon
    AU series: Assault
    RDO: Guardian robot
    HoverDrones former GLoG drones, but blue

    Sunny's power kind of works like this.
