    Default Avatar Battle Royale Discussion Thread XXV: The Future (Imperfect) is...Soon

    Welcome to the 25th ABR Discussion Thread!
    Bow before your Crimson Clad Overlord
    Because we used to burn through new ABR threads so quickly, we created the Discussion thread. All banter goes here, and all comics and non-canon kills go in the main thread. (see line below)

    Avatar Battle Royale: We All Live in A Yellow Citadel is the current thread. Post artwork there.
    Even though it seems to be holding together nicely;
    The ABR backup thread, is used in the event of Giantitp becoming untenable due to server issues or otherwise.
    The next link is quite good, although it could have used some more images.
    Trailer for the Fat Fish Fury plot by Kpenguin
    The next one should have had music, but didn't. :(
    Trailer for ABR by Omicroncubed

    Future Imperfect Trailer by Nameless

    The Amazing ABR Wiki
    It's free. It works. What else do you want?
    The world map of Avbaroy
    Mad Mask is a good cartographer. Of course, he didn't make up the majority of the countries.
    Backstory Comics
    Because people always want the focus to be on them.
    A Story of Death By Nameless (Currently inactive)
    A Tale of Two Fangs By Falgorn (dead)
    Endless By Omicroncubed (active!)
    Forest Fire By CrimsonAngel (dead)
    Remember By Lyinginbedmon (active!)
    The Blast Dragons By Jasondoomsblade (dead)
    Well that was unexpected By Randomizer (active!)
    Search By Calamity (dead)
    My Name is Q By Q (finished)
    The Fire Within By Firedrake and Chriky (dead)
    Dawn of Yesterday by Fayt (On Hold)
    The Skornbail Incident by Shades of Gray (dead)
    Planum Commedia by Mad Mask (active!)
    People find that web Active/dead means the status of the comic, not the person.comics are hard work.

    Why didn't you change the white text ?
    You kept the same one (except for the first) even if it didn't make sense.
    Anyways, I was wondering if there could be Dettas with wheels or tracks in Future Imperfect. Surely they'd be faster and more efficient than standard legged ones, and that would give an additional advantage to the ALF.

    Sure, why not. They'd probably also be easier for Ven to make, since he doesn't have to worry about keeping them as balanced.

    Gets straight to the source kinda thing.
    He'd get all the information, make the wrong links and end up writing something even the They conspiracy inventors think is crazy.

    Which is why They hired him of course. But yeah, he can do some investigative stuff.

    I mean, INSincere is all published anonymously, so if he gets too dangerous he can always be dissapeared.

    How's this Detta ?

    Mark IV Detta Tank

    The Mark IV Detta Tank is a small vehicle build with a refitted Ground Drone chassis. With armour resistant to small arms fire or shrapnel, and possessing two rifles and two grenades launchers (capable of launching fragmentation or concussion grenades), it is a most efficient anti-personnel weapon. However, it is easily destroyed by rockets, armour piercing rounds or heavy weapons.

    Ooh nice, here's what I worked out.
    The Mark III "Microtank", and some standard dettas.


    The Microtank is a smaller version of the Detta Tank. Equipped with a heavy cannon that can fire either AP or HE rounds, and a Rapid-fire antipersonel cannon. It's armor is thick, but enough dedicated small-arms fire will drop one.

    Also, Standard Dettas. Ven abandoned the idea of designated Soldier-Dettas. Instead merely thickening the armor on standard dettas, and giving the high-caliber firearms. These weapons can be wielded by normal humans as well.

    Am I correct in assuming that all magic in the UNA is tightly regulated? Because it would make James and Talia's life slightly easier (they both use alter self spells to hide the fact they have sovice nanites inside of them. But if people could accidentally cast true sight and see them... Besides, non-regulated magic would make resistance much easier).

    Considering that every wizard is just a nights rest and a few hours preparation away from being a living weapon, I'd say it would make sense.

    Other FI things- To nip any power-level problems in the bud, here's what I'm thinking for Squark Iota-

    Squark was exposed to the same virus as Igon, but in a lesser dose. This, combined with the fact it wasn't prepared to combat a Timelord's more advanced immune system, has allowed him to escape with his sanity intact. Unfortunately, the struggle has blocked off all of his magical and magic-like abilities* (soulmelding, truenaming, shadowcasting, psionics, Tome of Battle stuff), and it has made it cripplingly painful for him to use the force. As such, he has relegated himself to a desk job.


    *Because he isn't cured, he's just holding the disease at bay.


    EDIT: One last thing- Since James is chief conservator of the peace, is there any specific things I should keep in mind as I design his uniform?

    Well, you should base yourself on Fayte's own peacekeeper (the UNA beret + gray coat), but with a little more ornaments.

    But since he's more of a political person than a front-line combatant, a late 19th-early 20th century suit is probably what he's going to wear most of the time.

    Makes it so much easier for my characters (even if the resistance is destroyed how are you gonna find Keveak? He works with magic basically nobody knows about and even fever are crazy enough to use )

    An then I saw Keveak in the sorting hat and you are just the cutest thing when you want to be. My gosh look at that. It's squee-inducing.

    Actually, I think I've got an idea of how he'll project his public image, and his uniform will play into that.

    Spoiler
    Show
    Chief Conservator of the Peace James Ins is, like all the sovice, one person in public and another in private. To the average person on the street, James is, despite the fact that his adoptive father is the de facto leader of the UNA, a self-made man of the common person. He rose through the ranks quickly, not because of connections as some others might, but through competency and devotion to his men. His devotion is so great that he continues to wear the uniform of a common watchman, although those "close" to him would argue that this is more yet another excuse to annoy politicians. Despite this, James is very public about his commitment to the UNA, because, "It may have too many stuffy politicians for my sake, but its still a world better than anything Avbaroy had before it." Always quick with a joke and willing to move mountains to save even the lowest-ranking men under his command, he is a role model to many young children of the UNA.

    That's the public story, anyway.

    In reality, James is particularly disdainful of pure organics, even more so than most sovice. His reputation is entirely the work of the Grandfather, and James's insistence on participating in field work is both part of this image and a way to vent his frustration with organics on the ALF. His pistol and armor appear to be standard issue, but observers have seen the breastplate take shots that would shoot through concrete without even scratching, and, if anyone were to get close to his weapon, they would note the bullets are made of super-heavy neuranium and charged with an energy shell, not to mention numerous other modifications that put it well beyond anything that might be seen for several centuries compared to the technology in any "grunt's" gun.



    I realize I did a terrible job with the UNA grunt uniform, but hey, we all know my art is mediocre.

    Another FI Character- Tycho Dalren, fledgling Planeswalker
    Spoiler
    Show
    Tycho Dalren is the first planeswalker in the history of Avbaroy. He has the potential to become one of the most powerful mages in its history. For now, however, he is simply one of many students at the UNA Academy for Sorcerers.

    Tycho Dalren was an orphan, and, up until last month, knew nothing of any magical abilities he had. Sure, he was lucky and made friends easily, but that didn't mean anything. Then, one month ago, a group of rebels so amoral that the entire ALF unanimously kicked them out* decided to bomb his orphanage. Fortunately, the would-be bombers were also incompetent, and the bomb exploded prematurely in a park just outside the orphanage, killing no one but them. However, the trees in the park were, of course, damaged beyond repair. Or so one might thought. Naturally, being close to the park, all the orphans had fond memories of the place, and Tycho was no exception. Unlike the other orphans, though, when gazing out at the scorched ground of the beloved park, he could do something about it.

    Three seconds later, to everyone's surprise, all the trees in the park had regrown. As well as many that were never there to begin with.

    UNA magical inspectors quickly began a search for magi, and Tycho was discovered, and sent to the Academy. Tycho was quite pleased with this. After all, next year he would have been released from the orphanages custody anyway, and the way his scholarship plan worked, he would get an entire college education, entirely funded by the state.

    Once at the Academy, though, Tycho began to realize he was different. The other just manifested sorcerers were, for one thing, about half a decade younger, and, in a more superstitious society, there inadvertent uses of power might have been dismissed as a minor haunting. There was also something different about where he got his magic. Tycho quickly learned that, supposedly, A wizard draws his power from books, a sorcerer from an innate magical connection, and a divine caster from the gods. Tycho, on the other hand, felt like he didn't so much draw power from himself, as he did from the land around him. He has kept this idea to himself at this point, more out of not knowing what to make of it than anything else.

    POWER LEVEL NOTE: Because cities like the one Tycho lives in are not exactly known for supplying mana to most forms of planeswalker magic, Tycho is unable to draw much power for his magic, and lacks the control to use incredibly powerful spells to begin with. In MTG game terms, this limits him to one mana of each color for spell casting, except for white mana, which he can draw upon up to three, as white is the color of community. He still has a reasonable supply of uncolored mana, though.



    *And yes, I'm aware how hard it would be to be that amoral.

    Shouldn't the TJH archive be added to the first post (in both the discussion thread and the art thread)?
