[Nexus] OOC 28: Something to do with Mayans

[Hattish Thing]

Meeting where.

[The Bandicoot]

Sing please stay out of it.

[Hattish Thing]

.......

[The Bandicoot]

It's not even a forum topic it's just character history

[Terumitsu]

Hey AMENites!

Would there be any adversity to a third party coming to simply observe and possibly record the dragon-fight?

You know....

For posterity.

Or just being a creepy organization that really likes collecting information.

[Moff Chumley]

I see absolutely no reason why not. The more, the merrier.

[Gullara]

Hey Hipho, regarding your character in Trog's, that colour is still unreadable. Or at least it is to me. I would recommend avoiding most light colours. They're a real pain on the eyes and I know that I for one can't be bothered to highlight every line or suffer through it. Just a bit of advice.

[Lady Serpentine]

@c'norHow does a naked and scared out of his wits 12 year old Flarg appearing in the middle of them sound for a first meeting?

Sounds startling for a first meeting.

More seriously, it should work pretty well. They'd have, if allowed, given him clothes, fed him, and provided a place to stay if he needed it.

With my iPod editing posts is a bit hard so I'll just make a note to do it in orange next time.

C'Nor if you want, Flarg is in Trog's now, so maybe your characters could stop in. Perhaps make a mentioning about your past together which might include elder Flarg helping you with a vampire hunter problem recently. If not I'm thinking of having Flargs next action be poofing away

[Lady Serpentine]

Sounds good, though bear in mind that they'd have to be some very well equipped vampire hunters to pose a real threat to them, and thus there will a fairly strong element of danger.

Also, would Flarg the Younger have ever gone into the workshop where they keep all of the specimens they make/alter/study? There are several down there that are human-plus level intelligence, and if he did, they'd probably know him too.

[Hattish Thing]

I can't sleep... Sigh

[Lady Serpentine]

There. Mega-post in Trog's is up; Karyana and Rael have arrived for the scene with Flarg.

Edit:

Also, is the coup in AMEN/Outside open to spectators at this point?

[The Bandicoot]

Sure he could know some of the 'experiments' I'm kindve thinking that over his lifetime Flarg runs/ran into your group numerous times and as such by age 27 he already thinks of them as loosely friends. By the time he's Elder Flarg he's probably saved and been saved by them more than once.

[Zefir]

I'm not really either,

I was typing in two threads at once, and what i meant to do was click the Submit for a Post in Riverside when the Bell Rang At school...

I Just Kinda Clicked Post...

I think i'm going to Retacon it, But Fade may find himself being jumped in an Alley Sooner or Later...

That may clear some things. And if you really want this to happen I should tell you that Fade isn't that kind of person who let someone leave. If you attack him he will try to kill you.

[Morty]

Recently, I've realized that I only have two characters with no art - Michalson and Anatolij. Everyone else either has at least one picture or at least a TekTek, but the TekTek style doesn't fit those two at all - I gave up on hairstyle and facial hair, really. So, I'd like to post an open request for sigatars of those two characters directed at any avatarist who plays here and feels up to it. Their descriptions are included in their character sheets, which I might update soon, but I'm also ready to answer any questions regarding their appearance. Thanks in advance.

So... anyone? If not, I'll try other avatarists, but I feel someone who also plays here would do a better job.

[Chezmarine]

Chez, your character has respawned, run five miles, found a tavern, attacked a tavern for clothes, somehow acquired an arsenal of firearms, run back and is now apparently just outside the cave, looking for the entrance.... In the time it took the people inside the cave to say, what, five posts of dialogue? Now, granted, it probably took five minutes or so for Sleet to tell her story, but that's still ridiculous.

There's no point to fighting Chez at all if he revives in five frikkin seconds and immediately returns to make everyone's life miserable, much less if he can run ten miles in as many minutes.

Ummm... He's at the Entrance of the JUNGLE...

[Lady Serpentine]

Sounds good. Though possibly dangerous. What sorts of mental defenses would the various Flargs have had? Selka (a sort of siren/drow/selkie), at least, would probably have tried to influence him somehow, if only to stick around when he could.

[Slii Arhem]

*pokes C'nor to Mallside*

There are starving teenagers to feed!

[The Bandicoot]

Most Flargs have very little beyond that of a normal mortal. Though The Elder Flargs do have the shadow beings which would help with that I assume.

[BladeofObliviom]

In that case, Tirin will start feeling a sense of satisfaction and relief coming from the Hutt. "The blade is capable of holding roughly one decafarad of energy- that should be more than enough to kill the average humanoid. Just be careful, because there is no controlling the fact that the energy will be released into the first object the blade touches."

The Hutt nods his head, and begins to look through the crate for more weapons (a twinge of self-consciousness overtaking him as he moves). He pulls out a two more blades.

The first is another vibroweapon, this time a dagger. It appears unassuming, and quite easy to conceal. Unlike other bibrodaggers, however, this specific LaserHone Talon design is meant for stealth. When activated, it vibrates on an ultrasonic frequency, so the whining sounds usually associated with vibroweapons is nonexistent. This specific type of vibroweapon was often used by an elite military unit of the Stormtrooper Corps, the Storm Commandos.

The second is more like a spiked gauntlet than a blade; the vibroknuckler is a small blade with a space in the hilt to fit one's four fingers into. By using the thumb to flip a switch, the vibrations start and make the wearer's punches nearly lethal. The fact that it slips in between the four fingers allows the user to still carry items in his hand. Jurga leaves out the minor fact that these blades are illegal for civilian use on almost all Imperial worlds, and that these weapons are mainly used by mercenaries and pirates.

A DECAFARAD.

As someone who is taking a course in Electrical Engineering and understands just how much capacitance that is, I am officially frightened.

[RandomPoster]

Think I got a little excessive? Perhaps I should lower it to something more reasonable, since .01 amps is all it takes to kill a human...

[BladeofObliviom]

Suffice it to say that the Hutt made a serious understatement when he said "More than enough to kill a human."

It's really closer to "Melt a human into sludge." A decafarad is so hilariously overcharged that you would probably be best off either reducing it by two ten or more orders of magnitude, having it set up to administer smaller charges out of a capacitor that large, or just accepting that humanoids will be one-hit killed by the thing and up Tirin's power level a letter grade or two.

[RandomPoster]

And this is why you do not attempt to use units of measure you haven't haven't actually worked with (or even used theoretically in several years).

Alright, I'm just going to lower that, now...

[BladeofObliviom]

Just for fun, I decided to do some math.

A farad describes the number of Coulombs per volt in a capacitor, and a Coulomb describes the number of Amperes that pass through a medium over the course of a second. Since electrons travel at Fermi Velocity inside a solid, and I don't trust myself to get into quantum physics right this moment, I'll estimate the amount of time here as 1 nanosecond. This is divergent from reality because a decafarad of energy could not actually pass through the surface area of a sword in such a short time, but it will do for the purposes of hilarity and keeping the implication of energy transfer over the course of a blow rather than over minutes/hours.

Thus, we recieve the following formula:

10 Farads * y volts = 10y Coulombs = z Amperes x 1/1,000,000,000 seconds * resistance

We can simplify this by multiplying the formula by a billion.

10,000,000,000y = z * resistance

Now, to account for resistance. The resistance in human skin varies from about 1000 ohms for wet skin and about 500 times that for extremely dry skin. Considering that the item in question is designed to cut through skin, and the fact that Human blood is an extremely good conductor, I believe that the amount of resistance in this case will be fairly low. I'll just use the 1000 ohm measure for the sake of having a round number. Anyway, using Ohm's Law, that gets us this:

1,000,000,000 * y volts = z amperes

Unless I made a serious mistake with my math/understanding of electricity, that means that a Decafarad of energy passing through a weapon instantly into a target results in a million amperes per volt.

This is very, very, VERY lethal, even with extremely low voltage. There is a good reason that you will probably never see a full Farad on a capacitor. Even a nanofarad can give you a pretty nasty shock, and might even theoretically stop your heart if you have wet skin and a frail heart. :Smalleek:

Just for fun, I decided to do some math.

This sentence does not compute. o_O

[The Bandicoot]

This sentence does not compute. o_O

Hey 3E if you can't get the Wrecked Ship plot going I have someone else who might be interested in doing it or something similar. I'd like to get it going soon so Corfff can stop staring at the ship :P

[ThirdEmperor]

I posted for the plot a while back, actually.

[RandomPoster]

...

You know what? I think I'm just going to get rid of the reference to any sort of unit of measure, just to make things simpler...

[happyturtle]

I'm taking the night off. Godmod my characters as needed if my absence would hold anything up.
