Darkwater Chronicles (OOC; Dead)

[Neo Arcad]

It has not been demonstrated that humans even have pheromones. Most likely we don't.

And if not, science will MAKE pheromones. And they will be SUPER EFFECTIVE.

Robots that carry bombs, then self destruct, FOR DOUBLE THE EXPLOSION!!!

Said robots are transported in a self-destructing car. -Nods-

Driven by a self-destructing robot. *nod*

I still want that Kamikaze Autobot.

The eye/gun link isn't wireless for the same reason that most gaming mice aren't wireless: higher precision and elimination of the possibility of interference. I dunno about the computer thing, though, I reckon I'll take it out.

This is the future.
Besides, the alternative would imply that you have open wires in your fingers, meaning that if you touch anything electrical, you're going to get zapped. Also, a wired link would boost the cost up to three points.

The target identifier just tells her who the person is, their general info, etc., based on facial recognition which I assume has gotten better than it is now. I didn't have it as part of the gun, because it could be useful by itself.

That would make more sense as some sort of computerized headset. Also, if it's not, then you'd need to boost the cybernetic eye up to two points for the second link.

With Elijah, Jean, and Maria, anything is possible!

Hmm.
Ok, I guess I have more cybernetic points now...?
And also a headset? Yeah. That's a thing now, I suppose.

I'd also like to note that our Techie team is completely batshit insane, between a genius slacker, the active cause of several losses of limb, and an avid antiquer.

[Olthar]

"Autobots! Transform, and blow yourselves up!"

Yup.

Three Techies for the win!

@Ceann: That, too. .

[Mavorpen]

I guess I'll start my app.

@Ceann: That, too. .

Lord, can you imagine our staff conferences? Elijah will drive us all to a bomb testing site, where Maria will be testing out her latest dirty bomb while Jean gets some hours in on the bomb disposal unit.

What are you going to be making?

Yeah, no. That's not a reputable source. As far as I am aware the studies that it cites are either of terrible quality or have been seriously called into question by follow up research and replication attempts.

[Mavorpen]

What do we need?

[Olthar]

Bruiser, gunner, or swordsman would be the most useful.

Then they're artificial pheromones. All the more effective, I suppose, eh?

Eh....... Hmmmm.... I don't think that would work very well.
Anyway, it's not like we know for sure that humans don't have pheromones. Since it is the future we could always have discovered that we do...

[Neo Arcad]

Ahhhhhh, it IS nice to be free again!

Anyway, now that my sentence is up, here's my app.

Name: Flannery Moran
Gender: Female
Age: 24
Class: Spy
Appearance: Here.

Abilities/Equipment:
Cyberware/Bioware: Cybernetic eye that has a direct connection to her weapon while she holds it, meaning she can see through the scope even if she isn't looking through the scope [3 Points], genetically-enhanced blood clotting/healing factor [3 Point], regeneration-capable liver [1 point], and enhanced pheromone manipulation implants. [3 points]
Skills: Expert level of marksmanship with her rifle [3 Points], can drive and maintain just about any motor vehicle she can get her hands on with a high level of skill [3 points], better than average acting skills [1 point], and decent stealth training [2 points].
Tech: Cell phone [0 points], target identifier headset that feeds information directly to her eye [3 points], an advanced hotwiring device that pretends to be a vehicle's key [2 points], a stealth suit that can change color based on the environment [3 points], and a long-range rocket-assisted guided-projectile piton gun for surviving emergency auto-defenestrations [2 points].
Weapons: Her beloved designated marksman rifle, chambered in an 10.7mm flechette round, with more than a few ammo types, and featuring an integrated recoil compensator, flash dissipator, suppressor, and a mounted scope that has thirty-stage variable zoom, thermal overlay, kill probability calculator, and vehicular movement compensator [3 points]; an extendable high-voltage stun baton [1 point].

Personality: Sharp; calm and collected. Doesn't tend to get close to people unless there's a good reason. Can very convincingly change her personality to fit the pheromone she's exuding. This isn't really her personality, but she doesn't show her more genuine side while doing business.

Personal Strengths: A ridiculously good marksman; almost never loses her cool, and can usually come up with some kind of solution, off-the-cuff, for any problem.
Personal Weaknesses: Can't stand the sight of blood. It typically makes her faint, for reasons she either won't talk about. It likely has something to do with her parents' death.

History: Flannery knows little of her background and past; only what her uncle has told her. Her parents, it seems, were murdered violently before her eyes, perhaps for opposing a gang, or a corporation, or some other group. No one knows why they had to be silenced. She was nine at the time; her memories of everything before then were suppressed, so she does not know the details of it. However, her aversion to blood is likely a psychological remnant of that part of her life.

She was raised by her father's brother; her uncle has a country place that no one knows about. He says it used to be a farm before the motor law. if you understood where that was from, I love you It was there that she grew up, living a more rustic lifestyle and playing with her uncle's antique car collection. Her uncle is the only person in the world that she cares about; he is her only living relative, and the man who raised her. But he's also guilty of several mysterious "faults" against some major corporation, and hence cannot enter Darkwater unless he has a death wish. Flannery thus works as a mercenary to help him pay his rent, and to hone her skills as an assassin. Her choice of weapons reflects her desire to remain as far away from blood as possible; when she's in close, she always prefers to disorient, disarm, or disable her opponents, rather than actually injure them.

Additional Information: She's actually a strawberry blonde.

RP Sample: I sent you a picture a few days ago...
I believe that is more than enough of an RP sample to last forever.

App updated to reflect.

@Seshe: Honestly, it doesn't matter whether they're real or not... the point is that she's got the ability to make people close nearby angry, or calm them down, or arouse them, or even make them think that she's dead.

[Olthar]

I'll check it after I finish writing the IC.

[Mavorpen]

What do we need?

Bruiser, gunner, or swordsman would be the most useful.

I know absolutely nothing about guns.

So I'll choose gunner.

No, fuck that, I'll go with swordsman.

Lulz.

I actually had a pretty good idea for a gunner, but that was after I made Elijah and I prefer techie so screw it. .

What is it? Maybe I'll turn it into an NPC and/or villain.

I didn't express myself correctly. I had several loose ideas that seemed good to me and that could be put together for a character who would make the most sense as a gunner.

I can send them to you if you want, but yeah. .
