Personification Life OOC IX [CLOSED]

[Giovenith]

Mom and dad want me to head out to grandpa's for a family party. I really don't want to go and hear my entire extended family's two cents about me going in the ditch. Not after the third degree I got from my dad.

Any chance you can calmly and assertively point out how many people have been falling into the same ditch until the point is taken?

[Torsiedelle]

If your family gives you such a hard time about such a small thing....why not tell them to fuck off?

I don't mind transitioning.

My sister was called "Crash" for a few years by family when she rolled a Yamaha Rhino, so no matter how much I try to explain it away, I'll have to listen to it for a while.

Tell them you have akinetopsia secondary to MERRF. Then ask them how much worse things could be.

On second thought, with a family like yours, maybe not.

[The New Velociraptor Empire]

Okay Flapamapavaver, where are they presently on the island?

In her hut. Suggest you grab her in bathroom, while eating, or otherwise not in bedroom. Rmwtyliin is around as well...

Bathroom?

Your NS Nation's Nickname: Just add it to my tab. We all know my nickname.

Character Name: NST 3v1 (Neste Trilb)

Character Gender: Female

Character Species (nation personification, human, alien, etc): higher construct

Character Physical Description (height, weight, apparent age, actual age): 5', 110 lbs, looks to be in her twenties, is actually much older due to long periods of status.

URL to Character Picture, if any: Lizard form, post-molt feathers; human form.

Primary Skill or Power: Psionics (the same shit as normal. Do you want me to use the other app? I can nerf her.)

Power Weaknesses/Flaws: Worthless without her carpules

Secondary Skill or Power: Genetic manipulation

Power Weaknesses/Flaws: Heh (the same shit as normal. See comment above.)

Character Background/Biography: Construct, former ambassador, now lost.

Why the character is in Bielefeld/Occupation: Rescued from an old RP or three, plus she's been used several times as a plot device here. Frankly, I'm tired of my other characters and need to take a break from Chaos. I don't plan to bring her in until the group returns to the Building. She'll stay across the hall from Bodkins.

URL to Apartment Picture: http://cdn.home-designing.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/9-Oversized-pendant-shade.jpg

Since it's a construct and she's stuck in the Building's bowels, can she please have a garden apartment? Similar to this?

Link to RP examples: (this MUST be a DIRECT LINK to your IC post in an RP, NOT a link to the RP thread itself. If you don't have examples, make your biography good.) Meh.

IMPORTANT:
One paragraph that sums up your character. This paragraph is what we'll use on your player tab on the first page of the thread. This MUST be brief. Your tab will contain a link to your application so people will have full details:

Neste Trilb
A lost Swithwardian construct.

Swith. *tsk* It's only because I'm familiar with your lizards that I'm approving a remarkably shitty (for you) app. You didn't even proofread it, did you? You owe me a solid.

Don't nerf her. You'll need a CoOP tool if you plan to place Charu and your cultists in stasis. A few limitations, thank you:

1. No tail. I don't care if she has an exo stashed. IIRC, she's been sans the biomatrix for a while.
2. No swarms or hordes.
3. No psi tapping cultists or avatars.

You suggested using her as Rodney's construct last autumn in order to keep her carp supply maintained. Are you going to go with that? I wouldn't have an issue with either concept mentioned. Your call.

Garden apartment. Bran has his helicopter on the roof. Kale has Fred outside the front door. Dab's guns are still in place. Might as well add a walkout.

Your NS Nation's Nickname: Agy (from Agymnum), Highfort

Character Name: Septimus Itum

Character Gender: Male

Character Species (nation personification, human, alien, etc): Human (cybernetic, modified)

Character Physical Description (height, weight, apparent age, actual age): Septimus Itum is a five-foot, ten-inch humanoid with a thin build. He's covered in augmentations from head-to-toe - literally - with any extraneous limbs sprouting from a metal box on his back. This box is fused with his physical flesh. His face is obscured by a breathing mask and filter, leaving only his eyes (one mechanical and one organic) exposed. His chest is covered in a panoply of wires, boxes, and tubes that keep him alive. For clothing, he wears tattered crimson robes with gold trim. What parts of him that aren't robotic or cybernetic appear wrinkly and extremely aged, similar to a human of around sixty or seventy years. His actual age is around 1,200.

URL to Character Picture, if any: Good old Septimus

Primary Skill or Power: Cybernetic limbs (limbs on his back, enhanced vision, smell, and hearing, etc), including a cannon in place of a left arm (transforms into a matter manipulation device aka holographic hand, as well as a power saw)

Power Weaknesses/Flaws: Requires a ridiculous amount of protein (at least five pounds of pure protein per day) to survive (otherwise his body begins cannibalizing), as protein is processed by his body's generator to maintain and repair damage done to his cybernetics. This is on top of ridiculous calorie requirements (at least 10,000 calories per day, preferably in concentrated form) to keep his systems powered. Essentially, he's useless if he doesn't get a feast a day. And I do mean "a day".

Secondary Skill or Power: Cranial augmentation and cybernetics (logic processor for faster response to threats, scanner connected to eye to allow visual data to be cataloged, analysis core which takes input from various appendages and collates it for later recall and use)

Power Weaknesses/Flaws: Vulnerable to EMPs due to lack of cranial shielding (will cause forced reboot, resulting in lost memory and reduced function for a few hours), requires at least two hours per day set aside to maintain mental efficiency (clear buffer, defragment short-term and long-term memories, run virus scans, etc) or risk total system failure and death

Character Background/Biography: Septimus Itum was the youngest member of the Regent Board of the University-State of Agymnum, a highly-advanced multiversal empire spanning nearly two dozen planets spread across several universes and connected via a series of warp gates and teleportation portals. Agymnum was a meritocratic technocracy, whose citizens were highly educated and whose primary output was research rather than some physical good for trading. Seekers of knowledge, the state and its citizens sought to explore the far reaches of the known universes, contact various civilizations, share knowledge, and record all sorts of data - useful and useless - for future denizens of the world.

Few noteworthy events occurred during his 1,200 year existence. The destruction of planets, birth of stars, and expansion of Agymnum is considered insignificant, as all these had been occurring long before he was born and would be going on long after he died. He spent much of his childhood as most people in Agymnum did, studying hard in the state-funded Schola Academia and eventually selecting a specialization for research and creative development. His selection was in the study of the biological cessation of existence and the possibilities there were for preventing it and reversing it, or philothanatophy (lit. "love of death").

Following his graduation with honors from the Schola Academia, he worked in Mobius Research Conglomerate for several centuries before eventually being recruited by the Regent Board as a future ruler. While groomed by the current Regent Board members, he continued research in philothanatophy privately and eventually received the permission and funding to create Lazarus LLC, which he founded alongside his research fellows from his Academia days.

Upon the death of the Counsel of the Regent Board, everyone surviving was promoted up one level and thus Septimus took up his mantle as the newest official member of the Board, becoming its primary diplomatic officer and ambassador. He spent his next 800 years in this position, expanding trade, networking with various nations, and continuing research with Lazarus LLC when he had spare time. The particular project he was working on prior to his unfortunate disappearance was an experiment in attempting to resurrect a dead person whose memories and personality had been stored (in binary) in the Infinity Circuit.

Socially, he is most-known for his infamous inability to speak to human women without suppressing his emotions through use of his logic core. Why and how this crippling social disability came about is totally unknown, though it is suspected to have developed during secondary schooling. He usually suppresses emotions and thus comes off as a monotone, insincere (if honest) jackass during most conversations involving female participants.

Why the character is in Bielefeld/Occupation: Rather embarrassing for a researcher of his caliber and a man of his age, he was careless during a routine experiment in teleportation as part of his research into resurrection of Infinity Circuit inhabitants. While at a Lazarus lab testing whether an artificial body would be capable of withstanding teleportation without losing critical data in its mental cores, he left the teleportation device on with no inputted location (defaults to garbage/random characters) while inspecting the dummy body he'd been testing for damage. As he moved the dummy body and looked into the teleportation portal, he accidentally fell in and the portal activated for some unknown reason, resulting in him being thrust through time and space and ending up in this quaint little corner of the galaxy.

He has decided to make the best of it and attempt to do some research while he is here, perhaps even prodding his neighbors and seeing who they are and what they're (quite literally) made of.

One paragraph that sums up your character. This paragraph is what we'll use on your player tab on the first page of the thread. This MUST be brief. Your tab will contain a link to your application so people will have full details:

Septimus Itum
Septimus is an augmented human and a researcher in the field of philothanatophy (study of death, lit. "love of death") from a futuristic, multiversal technocracy: Agymnum. He held a high-ranking post in its government, functioned as the highest-level diplomat for all trade and foreign affairs, was doing research into resurrecting the dead when he was sucked into this curious dimension, and has a social impediment preventing him from communicating with human women while his emotions are enabled. He is curious, hungers for knowledge (also food, to maintain his cybernetic form), and is terrible at social interaction. Work with him, against him, or just be near him at your own peril. Incidentally, don't mention harming cats around him.

Approved. Welcome Agy. You needn't supply RP examples. I've been reading Circuit. Good stuff. I'll add your tab shortly. I have a week's worth of things to catch up on.

The easiest way to bring him into the setting is to place him in the Building's lobby. There's a reception desk there. We're currently at the Island venue but returning to Bielefeld shortly.


ALL:
Sitrep incoming. We'll transition shortly as well.

The One-shots

In a junkyard, there wasn't much to do. Sure, there was plenty to eat; even if it made his tummy go funny for a few hours afterward. But that was easy. Smells of oil were common. Sometimes he'd find loose change, or an old credit card, or receipts. All in all, it was a dull existence. Detroit wasn't very friendly to magical, metal-eating rabbits. The few people who worked in the junkyard provided some entertainment as they crushed cars and sold the scrap elsewhere. It was a waste, and MB made sure to clean himself thoroughly and sit in a hidden perch behind a stack of BMWs to watch as the recyclers took their metal. The junkyard staff started inviting the scrap dealers more and more frequently after they'd figured out that bite marks in metal meant less money.

But everyone had to make a living somehow, and so it was perhaps a cloud with a silver lining that MB was finally trapped by two of the men and brought to ground under a Hummer. It was cold. It was wet, and he could never explain what made him do it; yet there was an opportunity to cause mischief, and perhaps that was all the cause he needed. It certainly would prove so, much later, in Bielefeld.

A long, thin ear curled under the left boot of the closest man and tugged his shoelaces free. MB hastily wrapped them around himself...and then disappeared in a red and blue nimbus.

Bathroom?

Or something. Rmwtyliin is in the bedroom.

Mind if I smash a car into it and have Arthur shout something like "Get in loser! We're going to do science!...I mean visit Maine!"

I'll create a section for the one shots if people TG links.

First post I read is Cer's collab. Suddenly feel really emotional about characters I barely know.

Damn it, this was supposed to be my break from serious RP, now it's turned into an extension of it. ;-;

We're seldom serious. The collab was tying up loose ends.

People embrace all styles here. Anything goes provided it's not a one-liner.

Not that I know of. I think Mon was asking for people to participate in her Silent Hill story, and Bran wanted feedback for his idea. Not sure what's happening with either currently.

As Septimus has just arrived, I'd like to RP with some people to help him get his bearings. I'm willing to participate in anyone else's stories once he gets up to speed on what's going on in Bielefield.

Hi. *offers penguin*

I'll send a char through in a bit. Gotta go handle some RL business. Back shortly!

[Swith Witherward]

Swith. *tsk* It's only because I'm familiar with your lizards that I'm approving a remarkably shitty (for you) app. You didn't even proofread it, did you? You owe me a solid.

Don't nerf her. You'll need a CoOP tool if you plan to place Charu and your cultists in stasis. A few limitations, thank you:

1. No tail. I don't care if she has an exo stashed. IIRC, she's been sans the biomatrix for a while.
2. No swarms or hordes.
3. No psi tapping cultists or avatars.

You suggested using her as Rodney's construct last autumn in order to keep her carp supply maintained. Are you going to go with that? I wouldn't have an issue with either concept mentioned. Your call.

Garden apartment. Bran has his helicopter on the roof. Kale has Fred outside the front door. Dab's guns are still in place. Might as well add a walkout.

I was hoping you'd forgotten about their tails. Damn.

No problem! Tank ewe!
