OOC: Slyvax's revenge

[Anilar]

Apart from me still having a extremely hard time imagining how we can just walk into a military base like this, and steal a spaceship, even thou its just a human base. I have accepted it as a speedier way for us to get further into the storyline, without us using years on the planet making an escape.

But can someone remind me why the gunturrets wouldn't be shooting at me, a mere human just like the base personel. Or shall I just write a post of exceptional luck, making it possible for me to cross the base unharmed. ???

But to be honest I feel lost at the moment, can't figure out my place in this roleplay, filled with cybernetic superhumans, superhumans with cybernetics and aliens of unsurpassed skill and with items of extreme usefullness. I might do crazy, but I can't play characters that think in terms of world domination evil and worship of chaos, and im not sure how I can justify Andrew keeping his head slightly sane and uncorrupted with these experiences. Slyvax releasing deamons and the slaughter of hundreds of innocent humans just doing there job.

Im lost and I need help.

 

[Dreadgrass]

I kinda feel the same Anilar, Gaius is just not able to keep up and develop as I had planned. If you look back I've kept him pretty tame, with only a handful of actual kills, the rest was causing injuries and intimidation.

Maybe you could find a shiny red button on the Big Shoota to kick it into overdrive on occasion? Or maybe even some kind of multi-laser or the like that doesn't have quite so finite an ammo supply? I think the enforced lack of ammo has really hit you hard, doubly so as you don't really have a fall-back specialisation.

Not sure where the roleplay is going from here, but maybe your guy could also fill the role as a driver of some description? Presumably we'll make landfall at somestage and everything can't keep being within strolling distance... Who else would have the know-how to drive a chimera or other terrestrial vehicle? Or if we're going to be cruising around in a ship for a while, maybe the primary gunner? If this ship is part Tau as is intimated, the bigger characters may be unable to man the weapons systems?

Just a few ideas, hope something may be of use/ help...

i would imagine that only the base guardsmen would have a freind indentifier thingy that the turrets pick up and with them being hacked would only shoot at base personal, and i followed behind Dreadgrass's character as he went chainsaw masscacre on them, Be creative, i used my characters spy skills to get past most people who would bother him, and i agree with dreadgrass their will be a situation that most of the rest of us cant deal with due to the limitations of our characters have due to their own specific spheres of influence. Hope this sorta helps

 

[Mello]

Turrets in 40k work like Jackonan said, you wear a thingy to stop you being targeted.

As for the "I feel over my depth" I had noticed that, and after we have escaped there is going to be a bit of a pimp session for the more underpowered characters, don't worry.

Sorry for the massive, pace-pushing post, but this is the one small window before I'm internetless again.

I hope you like the ship. I made it myself

 

[Anilar]

Have absolute total writers block at the moment. I don't feel like just writing, Andrew walked among the guardsmen, then seeing them get torn apart by turrets and Slyvax deamons he went absolute crazy. And started running around in circles screaming. Right I might be buffed somehow in this RP, but it doesn't really help me right now.

The biggest problem is I don't feel like playing someone going crazy, catatonic, insane, or just plain mad in his head (At least not more than he allready is). And my apparantly lacking imagination doesn't see how Andrew wouldn't be severly affected by what he would experience in this courtyard. I have been able to avoid the display of deamons earlier in this RP, but now I have to keep my eyes open to navigate the courtyard. And even if I get knocked out before the deamons do there thing, there will still be a lot of headless corpses afterwards. Not to mention there is the whole Slyvax make someone explode by pus thing.

I need serious help here, or maybe just some simple godmodding to get me going again. I don't want to leave the RP it has been fun so far, but im standing in front of a brick wall of adamantium, and im too stupid to walk around it.


As a side not Mannfred, next time you start up a RP, I think the smart thing to do is make the characters roughly of equal power level. Some players like me are stupid enough to make underpowered, by alien standards stupid humans with guns that run our of ammunition before the fun starts. And then they get stuck in a long run of scenes in the RP where the space marines, aliens and nova cell armed pscycopaths blow through armies of enemies, while the little human player just pick flowers and sing a song.

Im sorry if I sound all negative and pessimistic, but I really hate writers block and not being able to add anything usefull, meaningfull and/or fun to a roleplay im a part of.

Just to clarify Link below.
HELP

Don't worry then, when you guys got the buff slyvac is going through über transformation, not only making him more sane, but less ridiculously powerful anyway, and after that we're doing some stealth anyway. And I plan in I hiring Slyvax as well, I suggest anyone who thinks they're currently too powerful thinks up something else as well.

The problem is that with our posting speed, when I notice the problem (I noticed this back when Darvy got his nova cell), I can't correct it until we've got to an appropriate point in the plot, which is taking us ages.. After we've left this planet, we can correct everything.

Do keep in mind that this is my first RP as Moderator, so I'm doing my best :'(

Edit: ok, figured out how to sort this out, everyone post themselves into the ship if they want to post, and I need Gaiuss separated from the others if you still want him dead. My post will super-fast forward the plot, and get us in a position where we can re-balance everyone, bu it'll be huge so it'll take me a day or two. Do remember that plot-wise, we're still in the intro..

Edit 2: I suppose I should have made it more clear to you that this intro section is meant to be the end of Slyvax's "glory days", he's going to b a bit of an old man from here on, thats why I wanted the intro to be ridiculous, is this making more sense now?

 

[Count Darvaleth]

I do realise Blacke has got too big for his boots, but this was my plan all along and I do have a remedy for it... *mysterious wink*

 

[Zanos]

I designed Luther to be the sort of anchor that's always there to hold the party's ground when they need it most, so I think he's fine

 

[Mello]

Ok. So Luther will be someone who's invincible but a low damage output compared to someone like Andrew.

Awwww Gaius is being so cute with his loyalty.

 

[Dreadgrass]

Well, if he dies/ gets left behind maybe his noble sacrifice will mentally scar (in a good way) some of you evil gits into being... well... less evil...

Also thought it'd be a decent way/ time for him to go, sort of at the end of the intro and all. Plus you did say you wanted him "seperate" to everyone else...

 

[Count Darvaleth]

Dreadgrass, Blacke tried to help, he really did... things just didn't quite work out. Missiles, ya know?

 

[Mello]

Yeah, this seems a good way to kill Gaius. Okay strict post curfew now, Gaius needs his death post, and if anyone else wants to post their reactions please do. I do no want the ship taking off just yet, when I get the green light from you (and after Gaius is dead) I will post the post of doom MK.2, proceeding the plot

 

[Count Darvaleth]

Could you also include what we've discussed in the super-post? (Concerning Blacke and his impending insanity.)

 

[Mello]

Yes, I was going to

 

[Zanos]

Tear of an eagle.

 

[Mello]

Is anyone going to post a "reaction to Gaius dying" post, or are we just waiting for him to die first and then post a reaction? That would be a better idea

 

[Dreadgrass]

Was thinking more of the ship flying away as Gaius disappears under a wave of guardsmen, so not a "death scene" as per se.

but most people haven't posted onto the ship yet so...

Full Name: Tassarec Windwalker

Race: Eldar

Age: 66 years

Physical Description

Tassarec is slight and thin, like all Eldar; his face portrays typical Eldar arrogance, and his gaunt features do much to intimidate his foes. His hair is kept fairly short, and is bright blonde; his eyes are a sparkling green. Tassarect wears flowing midnight-blue robes, over which is inter-weaved his brass-coloured Rune Armour.

Personality

Tassarec is a stoic if there ever was one; his only indulgence is arrogance. Tassarec has a cold demeanour, and doesn't make friends easily; he prefers to isolate himself, and is strictly disciplined in his dedication to the Paths of the Eldar. In particular, Tassarec has proved incredibly resistant to vices and corruption, making him an excellent candidate for Slyvax's band...

Brief History

Tassarec was born in the Craftworld, and lived the life of a soldier; the Windwalker family had followed the Path of the Warrior for generations. Tassarec first served in the Dire Avengers, and almost succumbed to the endless rage of an Exarch; however, he proved resistant to the temptation, and moved on to the path of the Striking Scorpions. Now that he had tempered his spirit, Tassarec again proved stronger than the urge to become an Exarch. He served in many, small-scale battles, before finally becoming awed by the might wielded by a Farseer in the fight, who turned defeat into victory in the blink of an eye.

Determined to master this Path, Tassarec became a Warlock and began to master his psychic potential. Here Tassarec remains; not yet falling prey to the endless oblivion of the Path of the Seer, yet seemingly unable to leave it; neither becoming a Farseer, nor moving on to another Path. It is this perpetual state of limbo that makes Tassarec so useful to the Farseers; his youthful energy and dedication to the Path make him so vital for missions which could not be undertaken by Farseers or lesser Warlocks. Tassarec now has another such mission, one which he has not taken to incredibly kindly...


Basic Stats

Speed: 5

Agility: 6

Weapon Skill: 5

Ballistic Skill: 3

Raw Strength: 2

Technique Strength: 2 (5)

Toughness: 2 (*)

Tactical Knowledge: 2


Technology

Psyker: (5) - Tassarec has mastered the Eldar powers Conceal and Destructor.



Equipment

Witchblade
This weapon is a masterful piece of Eldar technology, and allows Tassarec to make up for his lack of raw strength by focussing his psychic energy through the blade, and wounding foes which would otherwise prove impervious to his attacks.

The blade gives Tassarec +3 to his Technique Strength.

Shuriken Pistol
This is a standard Eldar pistol; however, it goes mostly unused to Tassarec as he prefers to use his psychic ability.

Confers no bonuses, but allows Tassarec to shoot people.

Rune Armour
Tassarec's Rune Armour, when coupled with enough psychic concentration, can turn aside even the most deadly of attacks; however, when not powered the Rune Armour provides no protection at all.

When properly activated (which is most of the time unless something is blocking Tassarec's focus), the Rune Armour allows Tassarec to survive even the most potent of enemy strikes.


Other Abilities:

Psyker

Tassarec is a Psyker, and can use the Eldar Conceal power, which clouds his opponent's minds and can allow Tassarec to pass unnoticed or at least lower the foe's accuracy. Tassarec also wields the Destructor power, which allows him to conjure a great roiling psychic flame, which scours his foes with its destructive energies.

Let the speculation begin...

 

[Mello]

Was thinking more of the ship flying away as Gaius disappears under a wave of guardsmen, so not a "death scene" as per se.

but most people haven't posted onto the ship yet so...

Archi posted everyone getting on. And I would like Gaius to die before we take off, you'll see

Just to re-iterate, I'm the one posting the ship launching as its part of my plot progressing thread as to what is in space. But pow can start turning the ship on.

 

[Sir_Jackonan_De_Orage]

hhhmm yeah good point ill post today ill make sure tark gets shot too, ands i think in his death Dreadgrass he could do a Sgt Elias pose from platoon

 

[Sir_Jackonan_De_Orage]

Posted my reaction, better Guias then Tark in his opinion, a another new character? and by 66 years thats eldar years which could mean a couple of hundred actual years yes?. Also took the liberty of updating my character bio to reflect the new stuff.

Edit: sorry for double posting

 

[Mello]

Seems good, I'll update the OP.

Dont worry, Darvy and i have already sorted how he comes in, itll be very fluid. I have this allll planned.. Hehe

 

[Count Darvaleth]

No, I think he killed the officer he duped into bringing him ammunition, not Blacke. Besides, Blacke's face would probably just deflect the bullet.

 

[Mello]

Ag that would make more sense, I assumed 'duped' implied drugged
