OOC 46: Creativity + Possibility = ???

[Holy-hunter]

I'm afraid you will have to wait until tomorrow...both because right now I have barely the time to write this and because, since he asked to join, I want to give Solidarity the chance to.

Suspence, suspence...

Alright so it looks like we are waiting on Solidarity then, and to see who he throws into the fray. Welcome :)

[Zefir]

Like, are these mindless monsters who used to be people, superheroes in the style of X-Men, people who just happen to have an extra hand but are being oppressed and now staging a revolution, or where in between?

I think the first one is most likly what they are.

[Earl of Purple]

Deadtime now. Goodnight, sleep tight and don't let the Reek bite.

[Gullara]

Alright, posted the new thread, which I'm calling "The Curtain" for now, though feel free to suggest other names. I did rip most of the rules from the Wall OP, but since it is explicitly a part of the wall, I think that's okay, though I am going to credit Ghar.

Gah, forgot to reply to this.

The Wall wasn't my thread initially. It was Haruki's. I merely took over creating the new threads recently since he can't be around to do so and I didn't mind managing it for the foreseeable future.

(And I think Happy added to the rules some? I forget.)

[Arkhosia]

Anyone here have a MERC Member or License-Holder PC that would be up for an adventure?

[Deathkeeper]

So, poke time!
Earl in Trog's
Orchstra in Home
Murkus in Mallside and Riverside
LostDeep in Inside
Solidarity in Outside
Hyperbolic Sine in Random (turn order is kinda screwy so I thought I'd wait and go back to what it was. Or I can go first, whatever)

[Hattish Thing]

Okay! Am posting around now.

Might be slow though, for I'm still recovering from the latest Game of Thrones episode.

gah that was brutal

[Holy-hunter]

Hey Mad Hatter what's happening with the hunter recruiting?
Is that still moving forward?

Ps last episode had shocks all around!

[Aric Kale]

ThirdEmperor, your turn in Serious Plots and Outside.
The Mad Hatter, I realized I never replied to your post in Those Forged by Flames. Are you still interested?

If anyone has a plot for them, or would like to hire some pyromancers for a job, I'm open to that.
Also, they're entirely neutral on this Vamp-hunting plot atm.

[Morty]

Just so everyone is aware, if a fight breaks out in the Den, Dipsnig will be obliged to stop it as part of MERC's contract.

[RandomTiger]

Hello! This looks like fun.
I know I don't need a character sheet, but I think it'd be useful.

Spoiler: Revan

Show

Name: Revan ???? (pseudonym Wynna Eldorg)
Age: Late twenties/early thirties
Position: Jedi Knight/rebel Jedi leader/Revanchist/Sith Lord/random mechanic-conscript/"Jedi prodigy"/wandering worker
Appearance: Overly tall and thick-set. Well muscled, with plenty of scarring, mostly on the right side of her body. That's from having part of a ship explode on her. There are also blaster bolts, lightsaber scars, knife nicks, and some freckling. Her hair is asymmetrical; part of it's only an inch long while the other side trails down to her shoulder.
Personality: She enjoys poking fun at herself and others, providing advice, fixing broken things, and smashing jars to tiny bits. She tends to take the lead if no one else will. Gets frustrated with waiting, but is capable of waiting for months when necessary. Doesn't respect incompetence, but does respect attempts.

Revan sometimes forgets to check in once she's given an order, expecting people to hear and obey. She is not particularly concerned with social norms, but pays them lip service when needed. It's hard to tell if she's a boy or girl in her normal armor, and she doesn't particularly care. She is a lot more laid-back than you'd ever think a Sith Lord would be.

This is only surface appearance, though. She's ridiculously driven and sometimes rather petty. She enjoys laughing at horrible things, stopping horrible things, flipping the Council the bird, creating an unstoppable fleet, and planning and planning for things that may never happen.

This all changed when the Fire Nation attacked the Jedi Council saved her from being blown to bits, only to give her a fake personality. She now isn't as good with some of her old skills, especially force powers. Her memory of her past is foggy, and sometimes she accidentally thinks that Wynna is her real name. She makes memory jokes on occasion, even though she's conflicted on if it's funny or not. Very disoriented by the Nexus, but flexible enough to keep moving.

Skillset:

• Knows how to pick locks, but prefers to let other people do it
• Knows how to shoot things with a gun, but is not very good at it
• Useless with bows.
• Great with swords and daggers
• Excellent mechanic. Could probably disassemble a lock. Her specialty is droids, which aren't exactly common here.
• Extremely charismatic
• Great liar
• Not grossed out by dead things
• Physically fit. Can jump over an average-height table, carry things with two hands, and curl up easily into the fetal position.
• Provides romance advice upon request to friends. Also without request, if bored.
• She knows many, many languages, none of which are spoken in Nexus.

Force powers: She gets headaches when using them, and will until her amnesia is resolved or she relearns them properly. So they're basically for serious situations, and lower her usefulness significantly afterwards until headache is gone.

• Speed (can get undressed and redressed in three seconds, as homage to video game mechanics)
• Telekinesis (about 500lbs casually, in the prime of her life)
• Healing (won't fix limbs, will prevent bleeding out)
• Heat transfer (walk through fires, never get heat exhaustion. Also, won't freeze to death)
• Detection (tough luck sneaking up on her, or running away)
• Language ripping (learn any language without years of practice, if you find someone who knows it)
• Animal empathy
• Lightning and that sort of thing (any generic force powers I forgot, she probably has, unless it's funnier otherwise)

I'd like to try to play with her morality by introducing her giving someone a major headache by ripping Common out of their brain. It's nonfatal, and may or may not have any repercussions besides sudden, extreme pain. Do they think they're sick? Do some of their mental powers dull because of how shoddy Revan's skill is at this currently? Do they have trouble speaking in Common for a week? Whatever plot stuff a volunteer feels like, or just as an introduction. Possibly with Revan then offering to help the person until they feel better, never mentioning that she caused it.

[happyturtle]

So, I started a book club thread. I'll just leave the link here for anyone who is interested.

[Aric Kale]

Hey Tiger, welcome to the nexus. Feel free to post your character in the Nexus Character Directory thread.

[Zefir]

*pokes RB to Trogs*

[Solidarity]

There is no need to, a certain sanctified lich should be on his way. Besides, while the battle is taking place Shoyler is technically speaking to Captain Aerith.

@Solidarity: That said, the battle risks coming to an end before he arrives...the vampire will last probably no more than a pair of "turns"

My apologies for being late to the party there. Glad we cleared it up at least before it ended.

I've managed to get a couple replies made in some different places, but I'll need some time to get to the others. Please bear with me, it's been difficult to keep up recently, but I'm doing my best.

No worries man. I can relate; I've been pretty busy myself. Whenever you've time, you have the Riverside thing with Jacob so you can get things along with Leo's staff. Better not to rush though. I'm only on after work anyway, lol.

[McBish]

Poke Magtok to HALO.

[Zefir]

Hey Magtok , my char at Watch is going over the remaining robots that attacked WATCH a while ago. Is there any chance she can find something?

[PallElendro]

Saw this and it made me think of you guys. Coincidentally, is there a battleground part of Nexus?

There was a thread called the Warzone. Hasn't been much used recently, but it should still be in revivable distance.

[ImpSyndrome]

Grrrrr, this is frustrating! I really need to get back on my game here and post regularly again. Stupid Diablo 3...Why is that game so much more fun now than two years ago?

Alright, I'll need to set aside some more time to attend to my current threads. Please give me until tonight to make myself available, and I promise to get around to as many scenes as I can. Once again, I'm sorry to have kept people waiting.

[Morty]

It seems there are two MERC jobs lying around unattended...

[Arkhosia]

Yo SC, what's the job that Sophia and co. are taking's reward?

[Deathkeeper]

Hey Holy-Hunter, what's up with Trog's? It's alright if you wanted your PC to walk away if the scene was moving, but are we just supposed to drop it then?

[Shadowcaller]

Yo SC, what's the job that Sophia and co. are taking's reward?

They get reward money plus a small cut in the mines income each month. Basically stocks in the mine.

[ThirdEmperor]

Back! So it turns out if you're an insomniac, losing the schedule you've been following for four years is kind of disastrous. I thought yesterday was Monday still.

[Earl of Purple]

Deadtime now. Goodnight, sleep tight and tomorrow's my birthday.

[Arkhosia]

Deadtime now. Goodnight, sleep tight and tomorrow's my birthday.

Happy birthday!
(After all, you'll read this on your birthday!)

[ImpSyndrome]

Buh...I tried, and I got stuff for half of my active scenes posted today, but I really need to get to bed now. Sorry I didn't get as much done as I'd hoped, but I promise I'll try to get caught up over the next couple days, and I'll have extra time for posting on the weekend.

I'll try to start tomorrow by replying on the DFI scene with KMach2 and the Riverside one with Solidarity (do you mind if I just call you "Solid", or is that too familiar?), and I'll have to get to some non-Nexus stuff after that, but then I'll come back to the other scenes.

[KerfuffleMach2]

Alright, just spent a bunch of time reorganizing the list of characters in my sig, as well as getting new avvies up for most of them. Still gotta finish the Base Spirits.

Anyways, poking Stinky to BLOOD.

[Gullara]

Hey LDK? Syela did say something to Jim in Riverside. Shouldn't he have replied? Also, SC says that Ishani will be on her way without any more delay, so you can react as if she's leaving/left.

EDIT: You know what, I'll just post.
