[FO:E] Fallout Equestria OOC 2: Ante-Up My Little Ponies

[Rebonack]

Depends on the model.

All Power Hooves are capacitors for magical energy. The most common ones are Electricity and Force, but they come in other flavors as you might expect.

[Drowlord]

Okay. So, I've been thinking about introducing a third character, a raider medic. The problem is that with medics, you really need a team to go with them. I'm sure that, logically, he could be visiting Ponyville soon after Lamnios's group is finished clearing it out, and might join them. If that would be a problem, though, I'd be fine with having him join another group.

[Tychris1]

One of the reasons i'm invading Ponyville is for people to make evil characters. It's be counter productive for me to put Lamia on the chopping block only to say "No" the first chance I get.

And something tells me we're going to need a medic.....

Edit: DAMMIT! Magic, Lamianos' one kryptonite (Well, its proven to be the only thing so far to put him down, ala Old Appleoosa). Maybe she's friendly?.........

[Drowlord]

Well then. Since the group is composed of rather effective combatants, stands to reason they'd need a medic. Who also is good at combat.

Cloth Patch:

Spoiler

Show

Name: Doctor Cloth Patch

Race: Earth Pony

Cutie Mark/Special Talent: A surgical knife and a bandage, to symbolize his skill at healing ponies.

Virtue: Discordant Kindness. He only is kind when he needs to be to gain loyalty and trust, or to save the life of one of his ponies. Others that don't have any reason for him to waste his skills on? He doesn't care. He's stern and calculating, not particularly friendly, but he is a pony whose bearing brings strength to his followers.

Appearance: His coat is a sterile white, his mane short, spiked, and iron-grey. He is rather tall and angular for a pony, and his eyes are a cold, dead lavender. He carries an almost regal and harsh bearing, being the leader of a bandit group for quite a while, and has an unscarred and unmarked hide.

Faction: His bandit group, and, if they get in his way, himself. Anypony who gives him the most advantage.

Primary Skills: Medical, MEWs, Speech, Repair, and Science.

Secondary Skills: Repairing electronic or magical devices, analyzing devices to use them, healing many types of wounds, dead-shot accuracy with his trademark energy weapon, and resisting mind-control or affecting magic.

Equipment: His group owns a bunch of scrap materials, advanced medical supplies and first aid equipment, basic medicine and drug mixing supplies, a flamethrower, and a disintegrator magical energy rifle named Scourge, which is his. The items are stored in an ATV that he repaired and took as a storage unit. Additionally, he is followed by about ten other bandits (normal ones, equipped just with a variety of guns and barding) that operate the ATV. This equipment is from raiding and repairing items from the wasteland for at least forty years. He very much would like a magical force cannon for the ATV, but has not found one yet.

Overpowered? If so, I'd be happy to drop some items. I think it seems reasonable for a major, well-led bandit group who's explored the Wasteland for forty years.

Edit: Oh dear. Looks like his raiders are going to have to get into the battle soon, before Lamnios and Co. are curbstomped.

You might strongly consider making him a Bandit leader rather than a Raider one, given that raiders are basically ultraviolent Malkavians.



EDIT: Wait... ...if Delirious Hex is only just now joining the fight, what IS that buzzing?

[Rebonack]

The difference between a Raider and a Bandit is that Raiders have totally lost all vestiges of their virtue. They are bucking insane.

Also: obligatory season 3 smooze pony.

[Chaotic Bob]

Oh dear, you thought that was Hex?

Heh.
If only.

[Benson]

*awaits for Surprise and her narrator*

[Rebonack]

Whoops!

Distracted by season 3!

On it! =D

[MCerberus]

Are we going to do something with Scoops' little walk or just have her show up covered in raider blood.

[Rebonack]

That's why I asked if you wanted her to encounter any adversity along the way D=

Do you want an encounter of some kind?

[MCerberus]

Must have missed the asking. Considering some of Manehatten is getting ready to go into next day mode, likely just a noodle incident?

[Rebonack]

We don't talk about the Noodle Incident =|

[Dark Elf Bard]

Noodle Incedent?

[Rebonack]

We don't talk about it >=(

[Tychris1]

We don't talk about it apparently.

[BladeofObliviom]

STOP TALKING ABOUT IT!

:invisiblesmalltongue:

[Tychris1]

But, aren't you talking about it by telling us not to talk about it?

[Drowlord]

Okay. Changed to bandits. I was unaware of the difference. Well then.

I assume it looks fine, apart from that change? I'm ready to enter if so.

Noodle incident? Oh no. Not that. Don't mention it don't mention it don't mention it...

And I will raise you one Smooze-pony-based bit of Nightmare Fuel.

Yeah, looks fine to me. He seems like a darker shade of grey to Bauhaus, which is also interesting. Speaking of whom...




Purity, do you have a character in mind for said "Craftsman," or are you hoping for a GM to pick up Salt Lick City? I was just going to point out that I have a character I've been meaning to introduce who would be living in that general area and in fact is a craftsman of a sort...

[PurityIcekiller]

That would work. I was hoping someone would have a suggestion, but I was also willing to use Nails if no one made an offer. Good to see you've got someone for the job.

[Drowlord]

Bauhaus? I don't know anything about him, and Google results don't seem to be related at all.

[MCerberus]

Nackster, do you want to have NPC 'control' of the post or just stick with Onion Dip and have me or Luka do it?

[BladeofObliviom]

That would work. I was hoping someone would have a suggestion, but I was also willing to use Nails if no one made an offer. Good to see you've got someone for the job.

Alright. Note that he'd probably be outside the town, being somewhat strange by pony standards, but the townsfolk could point the way or something.

Bauhaus? I don't know anything about him, and Google results don't seem to be related at all.

When in doubt, check the character listing. I named him after an artistic movement in architecture that sounds vaguely like a name, so there's that.






Also, MCerberus? Pineapple's inside a building. I don't think Razoreye could plausibly see her. Now, the fact that the same building just had a hole knocked in the wall at about the same time that the psychic cacophony started would be a bit more noticeable.

[Drowlord]

Ah, thank you. Usually when I enter a fairly narrow search what I want to find turns up. Google, why you betray me?

Thanks for enlightening me. Now I see it, they are a lot alike. Cloth Patch is a bit more focused on the medic side, but he is a similar though darker shade of grey. Makes for an interesting meeting if they do meet or just a good comparison.

On the Ponyville side, as soon as Cloth Patch hears Pineapple he'll try to help her. He's a medic, for goodness sake. Even though psychic screams aren't that easily curable.

[Rebonack]

Whoop!

I need to pay closer attention to the OOC...

Think of the various Steel Ranger chapters as towns, more or less. For the most part they're totally NPC'able, though we'll probably jump in for the ponies in charge.

'sides.

I like seeing what you all come up with =3

[Chaotic Bob]

Aaaaaand for Obliviom over there in Ponyville with the big post:
Pretty sure boxhead-mare is hornless.

Unless I derped somewhere and accidentally replaced a word with "horn".
In which case that spot should be found so you can laugh at me until I fix it.


The raiders of Ponyville are all supposed to be earth ponies.
For one specific reason or another.

'cept Hex. She doesn't count.

Hmm. I thought you said she was a Unicorn at some point?

Maybe I derped. I'll edit it, since that changes the whole dynamic a bit.

[Chaotic Bob]

That would have been a misname on my part then, if it happened.

At which point, refer to Section B: locate error for Bob mockery.

[Tychris1]

Looked over it Bob. No mention of a horn. I think it might just be "Character Jumble" of all the different characters and things bouncing around causing the brain to derp once in a while.
