Aw, come on man. Let me have the alien.

If you can't do any better, then this is my ruling;

Due to the inhibitor implants, "his" physical strength and agility will be limited to slightly above human levels and 'concious' use of acidic blood as an actual weapon will be impossible due to the mental conditioning, not to mention it's acidity will be greatly reduced. It's still extremely acidic, but will be much slower acting.

Intelligence is a touch above human average as well.

Sound fair?

Oh, and let me explain how this will work!

This thread will be used for major question asking and stuff, as well as general banter about the game.

Once everything and everyone has the green light (ie, has been approved by me and I think we're ready to start), I will post up an IC thread which is where the actual stuff takes place.

Please try and keep the OOC comments to a minimum there. I also ask that "spectators" not post in the IC thread at all. If you want to comment, do it in this OOC thread.

If you have not specifically been approved to 'join' then you are under no circumstances allowed to make an in-character post.

Any open places left?

Post by **Arcalane** » Thu Dec 06, 2007 3:25 am

Plenty. I'm still waiting on Anna and potentially Aralonia. That said I won't take more than about 6 people.

I am wondering just how many people who have tried signing up so far have even BOTHERED reading what I've been posting about combat. There will not be a lot of it and you will not be needing heavy weaponry.

Nevermind that a giant ant is physically and biologically impossible.

Not physically impossible. There's no real reason why an any enlarged that much can't support its own weight.

If this is disputed, I point you towards the insects that more or less dominated the land in pre-dinosaur times. Those bugger's were big.

Biologically is another matter. If you stick strictly to the same breathing mechanisms, etc. as an ant, then it is still impossible.

Also, considerable differences in environment (higher atmospheric oxygen and higher temperatures) play a big role in survival.

While try, I'm guessing he didn't mean that it IS an ant, and rather just looks like one.

If it really is just a big ant, well, then.... yeah.

Da_Higg · Post by **Da_Higg** » Thu Dec 06, 2007 5:33 am

Ok then. It looks like a giant ant. This is Sci-fi why does it have to be plausible.

Oh and Arcalane: Note that I said ex military. He used to carry big guns. Now he carries anything.

Packmule, Check.

3 Soldier-type guys, check...

EDIT: I'll change my guy over to something less combatty.

Could ya save a spot for little 'ol me ? I've got a character that'll take a while to write up to an exceptable level of quality.

On that note, in this universe, has bio-engineering reached a fairly advanced state ? I'm thinking of organic powered-armor.

Atrum · Post by **Atrum** » Thu Dec 06, 2007 10:47 am

Hey, grafting AI to the Spinal Cord is do-able, Totally genetically re-engineering a human is do-able, artificial mechanical womb do-able, WHY NAWT?

Oh, and everyone is racist to a HEART-Enhancement person....

Man: "Bloody freaks"

Myobu · Post by **Myobu** » Thu Dec 06, 2007 11:55 am

Greetings, all. First post to the forum; this RP actually made me register, haha.

Full Name: Vauir. (there are no last names.)
Age: 120 earth-years.
Gender: Female.
Species/Race: Slizerkai. (I'm sorry if this is taken by something else? I just came up with the name a few minutes ago.)
Occupation: Military Officer.
Rank: Major.

~~
Height: Five feet, nine inches.
Build: She has an athletic build, due to the nature of her military work.
Colouration: Her scales are a matte black, sometimes with red colouration, dependant on her mood. Her eyes glow with a red coloration, also dependant on her mood.
Traits: She (usually) is an anthropomorphic lizard-like being with a cold, spiteful attitude, the result of long years in military service. As such, she tends to avoid others of her race. She mainly worked in the areas of Intelligence, and is quite suspicious of everyone and everything. An attack on her homeworld left her xenophobic to a medium-mild degree; enough to avoid other species like the plague, unless she absolutely -has- to deal with them.

~~
Abilities/Training: She has the ability to manipulate her very being, due to a rare ability that is inborn into one in five hundred of her race. As such, she can manipulate her flesh and bone nearly endlessly, whether it be a blade made out of her forearm bones, or healing a wound. (Though the latter would take longer, with the former being near-instant.) As a result from that, she is much more tolerant to pain, due to the feeling of bone sharper than a katana ripping through her flesh wasn't all that pleasant. She has been trained in the usage of melee weaponry, speechcraft, assassination, and stealth.

Possessions: Military uniform. Military parade uniform. "Leisure" clothes. (Trench, shirt, pants, ushanka hat complete with an officer's red star!) Parade sword. Vial of poison. Dagger.

EDIT: This isn't a combat-oriented character. Forgot to mention that.
