Personification Life, the Universe, & Everything [closed]

[Holy Lykos]

When it comes to stand abilities it really depends on what you have in mind. Reality warping or high end stuff like D4C are out, but simple concepts like the hand should be easy enough.

I had a stand user previously, been dormant since Cer became busy. Sidney Bechet, an aging Spanish civil war revolutionary from NYC, paired with the independent-minded Amaranth.

[Danceria]

I'm torn...
Should I be a man of ambition from the Star Trek Mirrorverse?

A dude from Dragonball?

A member of Caesar's Legion?

Or a kid from an obscure cartoon blessed with magical powers and a cranky villain inside his skull?

Edit: instead of the DBZ char, I was toying with the idea of a Force-sensitive Yuzaahn Vong.

BIOGRAPHY: Where to begin? Well, I was born into an upper-middle-class family. My father, Peter Wright, was an archeologist who disappeared on an off-world expedition to one of the planets in the outer colonies. My mother, Hellen Wright, ran a shop that maintained and modified automatons on Europa, the capital planet of the United Kingdom of Great Mechtoria. I learned by doing, and the shop gave me plenty of opportunities to tinker with machinery. It was only natural that I would want to study how to make my own creations rather than simply modifying what was already there. I quite enjoyed my time studying at the university hoping to design the next big thing, perhaps a War Mech for use in the Federation. It was in the final year of my studies when I started having dreams of something calling out beyond the Aether. It was at this time I had gotten an internship at the Bennettarium Institute on the oldest section of the Ringworld around Chiron Beta Prime, there I took to studying Aetheric Physics for the dreams guided me to build a machine to manipulate the Aether itself not entirely unlike the Wormhole Generators used to transverse vast distances but much more powerful and compact. It was to be my masterpiece, but I had been duped for the machine was not for my benefit and the dreams did not originate from my mind. A hideous creature had whispered the plans to me from across realities and got me to build the other half of his machine, an exit for his entrance. I should have never built the Transphasic Inducer Telelocator. He called himself Von Eldritch and he had come to toy with my world, said it would be amusing to him. I could not let that happen so I attempted to send him back. The journey was only meant to be one way, so reversing the polarity resulted in the both of us being tossed into the space between spaces. Of that I don't remember much before I got here, I can only hope my home and Mechtoria are safe from that accursed reptile.

I always liked the names you picked, NVE. They're traditional, yet still have a certain spunk to them somehow.

[Cerillium]

Get 'er done, NVE. Swith will dissolve into happy tears when she sees your return.

[Cerillium]

Aright then, after some good discussion in our Discord channel, it looks like a reboot will be in the works, IC and OOC thread. Stories will continue as they are, but the emphasis will shift slightly. Will explain in detail a bit later. Bed calls me now.

Gutted application. Feedback?

Looks good. The only thing I might add -- and not necessarily to the app itself -- is that players should expect to have to discuss abilities with the OP and story runners when needed.

CHARACTER'S NAME: Victor Wright

GENDER: Male

SPECIES: Human (w/ Cybernetics)

AGE: 33

DESCRIBE CHARACTER APPEARANCE: Tall, lean, appears Caucasian, Chestnut wavy hair and blue right eye and his right eye an upper cheekbone are replaced with metal and glass as it has a faint red glow on the lenses. He is wearing a brown vest and trousers with a white dress shirt and a brown tie and brown leather steel-toed boots. The left sleeve is rolled up to the elbow revealing a bulky grey-colored metal arm that appears to have panels and rails in several places on the forearm and a clunky articulated metal hand.

CURRENT OCCUPATION OR SPECIALTY: Inventor

GREATEST STRENGTH AS AN INDIVIDUAL: He will single-mindedly work on a problem to the point of obsession until it is solved

WHAT IS THE CHARACTER'S GREATEST FLAW: He can be overconfident in his own devices, trusting them beyond their actual capabilities until they fall apart.

BIOGRAPHY (written in first person): Where to begin? Well, I was born into an upper-middle-class family. My father, Peter Wright, was an archeologist who disappeared on an off-world expedition to one of the planets in the outer colonies. My mother, Hellen Wright, ran a shop that maintained and modified automatons on Europa, the capital planet of the United Kingdom of Great Mechtoria. I learned by doing, and the shop gave me plenty of opportunities to tinker with machinery. All the different intricate designs all working off the same principals, and the automatons were mostly thankful for our services maintaining them. Occasionally we had to maintain the cybernetics of those who lacked the skill, mostly those who wanted the newest flashy trend installed. Eventually, my eyes started going bad, though when it came to correct my vision I could only afford to upgrade one of my eyes, I had my doctor improve my right eye with some decent cybernetics while my left eye had to make do with an organic replacement. Thinking back I should have changed the laser in the right eye blue to match, but it has grown on me. It was only natural that I would want to study how to make my own creations rather than simply modifying what was already there. I quite enjoyed my time studying at the university hoping to design the next big thing, perhaps a War Mech for use in the Federation.

I started off by learning how to better make my cybernetics. Even getting into a friendly competition with my class to make the best mechanical arm. Even though my Inventor's Appendage did not win the popular vote (Becile's Fist of DOOM! won for its pure destructive capability) I grew fond of it and decided to keep it and improve it further to aid me in the mechanical shop. During my studies, I had received a package of my father's work found in the remains of a destroyed asteroid. I had passed it on to mother, as I hardly understood his work apparently trying to prove the influence of Ultra-Dimensional beings on Antediluvian Societies and he was close to some artifacts that were used to communicate with such things in the distant past. Although that got me thinking about worlds beyond ours, places one cannot get to with an Aethership. But the scope of that project would have to wait, after all, it took a team of the Kingdom's most brilliant minds to make Wormhole Generators possible.

It was in the final year of my studies when I started having dreams of something calling out beyond the Aether. It was at this time I had gotten an internship at the Bennettarium Institute on the oldest section of the Ringworld around Chiron Beta Prime, there I took to studying Aetheric Physics for the dreams guided me to build a machine to manipulate the Aether itself not entirely unlike the Wormhole Generators used to transverse vast distances but much more powerful and compact. It was to be my masterpiece with the incredible breakthroughs my dreams made possible, but I had been duped for the machine was not for my benefit and the dreams did not originate from my mind. A hideous creature had whispered the plans to me from across realities and got me to build the other half of his machine, an exit for his entrance. I should have never built the Transphasic Inducer Telelocator. He called himself Dr. Professor Baron Von Eldritch and he had come to toy with my world, said it would be amusing to him. I could not let that happen so I attempted to send him back. The journey was only meant to be one way, so reversing the polarity resulted in a vortex that he managed to throw me into. I was tossed into the space between spaces but not before I took his claw and the weapon he was gripping, for he intended to dispose of me. I don't remember much after that before I got here, in fact, I've forgotten almost all of the breakthroughs I supposedly made. I can only hope my home and Mechtoria are safe from that accursed reptile. The only way I can assure that is to figure out a way back and destroy him myself.

Please refer to application instructions regarding this section. You have 10 total points to spend, no knowledge, skill or ability greater than 4.

KNOWLEDGE/SKILL/ABILITY: Mechanical Intuition (Steam-Powered flavor)
POINTS SPENT: 4
WHAT DOES IT DO/HOW IS IT APPLIED: The Ability to Repair, Modify, and Create mechanical devices. Limited to what parts and tools are available. Purely mechanical devices are easier to work with and may use anything that produces heat as a power source as long as clean water is available (may use purely spring-power on smaller devices). Electronics are far more difficult to work with but manageable as long as programming is not involved or processing can be replaced with clockwork computers. Exotic Techs such as BioWare and MagiTech are unworkable if they have no mechanical parts and even if they do he may not be able to make any substantial improvements or fixes.

KNOWLEDGE/SKILL/ABILITY: Aetheric Physics
POINTS SPENT: 3
WHAT DOES IT DO/HOW IS IT APPLIED: The knowledge of the workings of his home dimension on a grand scale. It lightly touched on multiverse theory and was sufficient to create low powered and fast space travel as well as wormholes on large scales. And was the basis for his experiment that ultimately caused him to be lost in space and time. Although some of what are known universal laws to him may exist only as poorly understood myths or even may be non-existent in other worlds.

KNOWLEDGE/SKILL/ABILITY: Cybernetic Surgery
POINTS SPENT: 3
WHAT DOES IT DO/HOW IS IT APPLIED: The skill to install, maintain, modify and create cybernetics. The Cybernetic Augmentations he creates can function as natural extensions of a being but may be prone to malfunctions, especially when hastily constructed. He is most proficient with human physiology as that is how he learned his trade as well as improving his own augmentations. He doesn't have much skill working on other forms of life, mammals are doable, other types of animals are may require consulting an expert in their anatomy and are still difficult. Working with alien physiology is practically impossible even with an expert.

S C I F I / B I O T E C HI T E M S
Please refer to application instructions regarding this section. You have 8 total points to spend total, no single item greater than 4.

ITEM: Inventor's Appendage
WEAPON OR NON-WEAPON: Anything is a Weapon if you apply enough force
POWER LEVEL: 4
WHAT DOES IT DO: His left arm has been replaced by a portable toolbox/power tool It holds many tools of his trade (screwdrivers, wrenches, hammers, drills, saws of many types, etc) which can be changed out for his hand via internal mechanisms. As it is made of a Tantalum alloy it is durable and highly resistant to corrosion and heat.
WHAT COUNTERS/NEGATES IT: Electricity disrupts his neural input causing his arm to simply become a glorified paperweight (as the metal it is made from is highly conductive) making it impossible to access unequipped tools and cause the arm to hang limply until a neural connection is re-established.
WHAT RESTRICTIONS APPLY: The tools cannot be removed from his arm without disassembly as they were designed to be compact and used internally. Requires water daily to remain operational. Requires a heating element, currently provided by a Betharian stone that will last 3 months.


ITEM: Cybernetic Ocular Enhancers
WEAPON OR NON-WEAPON: Non-Weapon
POWER LEVEL: 1
WHAT DOES IT DO: His right eye has been replaced with a modest improvement. It is capable of 15x magnification and 3x zoom and even has a targeting reticle option that can project a laser dot from the eye's focus.
WHAT COUNTERS/NEGATES IT: Electrical currents can disrupt the neural link, leading to a temporary loss of vision.
WHAT RESTRICTIONS APPLY: The targeting reticle is not actually linked to anything, it just looks cool and red when the laser is on. The laser can only point where he is looking.

ITEM: Doc's Eldritch Disintegrator
WEAPON OR NON-WEAPON: Weapon
POWER LEVEL: 3
WHAT DOES IT DO: A strange weapon of unusual design stolen from his presumably mortal enemy. This pistol causes objects and creatures to catch fire by exciting phlogiston particles in matter. It seems to have a self-charging power source that does not require maintenance
WHAT COUNTERS/NEGATES IT: Fire-proof Materials will not catch fire and will block the beam
WHAT RESTRICTIONS APPLY: The weapon may be fired continuously for 12 minutes before it needs to charge. It takes 24 hours to fully charge but may be fired with a partial charge. The beam's strength degrades over distance becoming ineffective at 120 meters

I could not let that happen so I attempted to send him back. The journey was only meant to be one way, so reversing the polarity resulted in a vortex that he managed to throw me into. I was tossed into the space between spaces but not before I took his claw and the weapon he was gripping, for he intended to dispose of me. I don't remember much after that before I got here, in fact, I've forgotten almost all of the breakthroughs I supposedly made. I can only hope my home and Mechtoria are safe from that accursed reptile. The only way I can assure that is to figure out a way back and destroy him myself.

Please refer to application instructions regarding this section. You have 10 total points to spend, no knowledge, skill or ability greater than 4.

KNOWLEDGE/SKILL/ABILITY: Mechanical Intuition (Steam-Powered flavor)
POINTS SPENT: 4
WHAT DOES IT DO/HOW IS IT APPLIED: The Ability to Repair, Modify, and Create mechanical devices. Limited to what parts and tools are available. Purely mechanical devices are easier to work with and may use anything that produces heat as a power source as long as clean water is available (may use purely spring-power on smaller devices). Electronics are far more difficult to work with but manageable as long as programming is not involved or processing can be replaced with clockwork computers. Exotic Techs such as BioWare and MagiTech are unworkable if they have no mechanical parts and even if they do he may not be able to make any substantial improvements or fixes.

KNOWLEDGE/SKILL/ABILITY: Aetheric Physics
POINTS SPENT: 3
WHAT DOES IT DO/HOW IS IT APPLIED: The knowledge of the workings of his home dimension on a grand scale. It lightly touched on multiverse theory and was sufficient to create low powered and fast space travel as well as wormholes on large scales. And was the basis for his experiment that ultimately caused him to be lost in space and time. Although some of what are known universal laws to him may exist only as poorly understood myths or even may be non-existent in other worlds.

KNOWLEDGE/SKILL/ABILITY: Cybernetic Surgery
POINTS SPENT: 3
WHAT DOES IT DO/HOW IS IT APPLIED: The skill to install, maintain, modify and create cybernetics. The Cybernetic Augmentations he creates can function as natural extensions of a being but may be prone to malfunctions, especially when hastily constructed. He is most proficient with human physiology as that is how he learned his trade as well as improving his own augmentations. He doesn't have much skill working on other forms of life, mammals are doable, other types of animals are may require consulting an expert in their anatomy and are still difficult. Working with alien physiology is practically impossible even with an expert.

Please refer to application instructions regarding this section. You have 8 total points to spend total, no single item greater than 4.

ITEM: Inventor's Appendage
WEAPON OR NON-WEAPON: Anything is a Weapon if you apply enough force
POWER LEVEL: 4
WHAT DOES IT DO: His left arm has been replaced by a portable toolbox/power tool It holds many tools of his trade (screwdrivers, wrenches, hammers, drills, saws of many types, etc) which can be changed out for his hand via internal mechanisms. As it is made of a Tantalum alloy it is durable and highly resistant to corrosion and heat.
WHAT COUNTERS/NEGATES IT: Electricity disrupts his neural input causing his arm to simply become a glorified paperweight (as the metal it is made from is highly conductive) making it impossible to access unequipped tools and cause the arm to hang limply until a neural connection is re-established.
WHAT RESTRICTIONS APPLY: The tools cannot be removed from his arm without disassembly as they were designed to be compact and used internally. Requires water daily to remain operational. Requires a heating element, currently provided by a Betharian stone that will last 3 months.


ITEM: Cybernetic Ocular Enhancers
WEAPON OR NON-WEAPON: Non-Weapon
POWER LEVEL: 1
WHAT DOES IT DO: His right eye has been replaced with a modest improvement. It is capable of 15x magnification and 3x zoom and even has a targeting reticle option that can project a laser dot from the eye's focus.
WHAT COUNTERS/NEGATES IT: Electrical currents can disrupt the neural link, leading to a temporary loss of vision.
WHAT RESTRICTIONS APPLY: The targeting reticle is not actually linked to anything, it just looks cool and red when the laser is on. The laser can only point where he is looking.

ITEM: Doc's Eldritch Disintegrator
WEAPON OR NON-WEAPON: Weapon
POWER LEVEL: 3
WHAT DOES IT DO: A strange weapon of unusual design stolen from his presumably mortal enemy. This pistol causes objects and creatures to catch fire by exciting phlogiston particles in matter. It seems to have a self-charging power source that does not require maintenance
WHAT COUNTERS/NEGATES IT: Fire-proof Materials will not catch fire and will block the beam
WHAT RESTRICTIONS APPLY: The weapon may be fired continuously for 12 minutes before it needs to charge. It takes 24 hours to fully charge but may be fired with a partial charge. The beam's strength degrades over distance becoming ineffective at 120 meters

And the Divine parted the clouds to properly see the old Asian man grousing about the fiscal year. And lo, She reached out Her sacred hand and did bitchslap the Asian, and She spake unto him: "Fucking go approve NVE's app already, asshole!" Thus did the Asian man log into NS and complete Her instruction. This is the Word of the Fennec.


ALL, took feedback into consideration. I agree. I'll also take into consideration their RP experience and familiarity with RP on NS.

Still tweaking code.

For those not in the Discord channel, we're looking at shifting away from the God War (as the primary story) in order to focus on actual missions/assignments/player ideas. It gives players more room for creativity. I'll explain it better in the new OOC thread.

I think I've got the majority of it ready to go. Will take a day or two to implement. Considering waiting until the weekend vs doing it over this week (slow days at work, hopefully).
