The Realm of Hyrule wrote:You know what?
I want to ask a question, relating to the Archon's and their relationships with each other, since it might need to be noted for something that I may have going on for this in the future. If you'd allow me to indulge myself:

- So, you mentioned that Ilkans was uneasy about Mirat's adoption and development of technology, yet let him pursue it, if a little reluctantly... Is that opinion also common with the other Archons on Mirat? If not, why?

- More importantly, if you could, perhaps shed some light (This will be kept OOC unless I find a reason for it to be known IC in the RP itself, which might happen depending, I don't know) on Archon Lolvu, Algol and Aken's relationship with the Archon of East, South-East, South and North Asia, that'd be great.
Perhaps Algol has personal interest in the East - West Asian war being fought, and may eventually have to declare his opinions on the matter?
Would Aken see Mirat's abuse of technology as a "Weakness", perhaps? Assuming that his Northern Archon neighbor is augmenting himself because he is not powerful enough naturally?

But those are just random questions, me brainstorming and whatever. If you could detail this, absolutely perfect.



Thanks for any response.


First, more or less. Some care more than others. Like Aken cares about it less than say Elvih who cares a lot more.

Algol, prefers to stay out of the conflict between Zan and Mirat. Aken wishes he had something that to occupy his time and help with his boredom. But, chooses to not get involved as it is far from his power base. Lolvu sees the conflict as a waste of time and that Zan should be happy with what Ilkans gave him.

Aken sees Mirat augmenting himself with cybernetics as unnecessary and a waste of time. As they the Archons do not need technology or cybernetics to be powerful. Lolvu shares the same opinion, only that fact that Mirat has augmented himself. She sees that as a weakness that perhaps Mirat is relying too much on human technology now. Algol as the weakest of the Archons has thought about augmenting himself but, has so far declined the idea. As what the other Archons might think of him as even weaker than he is already.

Hope this satisfies you.

Players will start in the fee settlement of New Jericho located in an abandoned mine in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. The base of the rebel group called the Vanguard, led by free mage Catherine Morrow. Players will be a part of a rebuilt rebel cell Echo which is one of several cells apart of Vanguard that was nearly killed off months ago. So you can either be a new recruit or a current member that has been reassigned to the Echo.

I put the word fee on bold because it was supposed to be free. Mind if you correct that?


Okay, done but, are you interested in the rp or planning on making an app?

Okay, better but, still not up to par. Try adding maybe a new paragraph and a better reason to go to and learn of New Jericho. Because learning it from a random friend in Mexico is not cutting it since New Jericho would not be the only free settlement with free mages.

How bout now.


Better but, where would your char do research on New Jericho? It is a free settlement off the grid and I should have noticed this sooner. But, your app has several grammar errors. Like words that should not be capitalized. Can you fix those and you can just have him stumble upon the settlement and learn from there they have mages. You do not have to research that.

I was just checking the RP. While I have no plans on making an RP, I do find the RP to be interesting.
READ BELOW!

I RP as Novaya, a Human militaristic nation (cuz anime) and an archipelagic country. I also RP as the Novayan Stellar Commonwealth, a FanFT/FanFFT nation.
Please refer to me/my nation as Novaya in both IC and OOC, NOT Novaya Equestria.

He would be quite alarmed and confused on why there is an archon robot here.

Also, is your robot named after Skandenberg, the albanian hero?

If it was any other situation, Tyomkin would be liable to shoot SKANDENBURG...
But I suppose he could show restraint, though he'd probably voice his concerns quite often.

Two days late but, here it is

Name: Adam Morgan
Gender: Male
Age: 26
Appearance: Adam
Place of origin: New Jericho, Canada
Magic user: N
Magic spells: N/A
Role: Team Leader/Hacker
Skills: Skilled hacker, Skilled repairer, Decent shot, and Good tech expert

Equipment: M4 carbine, Ruger SR9, hacking tools, and a combat knife
Background: Adam was born in the free settlement of New Jericho, Canada, to Abigail and Connor Morgan. Adam's upbringing was like those in free settlements. A general education of what the New Jericho had access to. From proper history lessons to learning simple survival skills. What stuck out the most about Adam was his love for technology. Always doing well with his technology courses and would catch the eye of New Jericho's resident techie and took Adam under her wing. Further increasing his skill and knowledge of technology and even learned how to hack. A skill that helped to get him into the Vanguard, which both his parents and grandmother were apart of. Despite resistance from his family but, they relented when it became clear that he can hold his own.

So Adam was assigned to the same cell as his parents, Echo cell. He functioned as the cell's hacker and tech expert while on missions. For a time, it looked like things were going according to plan with gaining access to the Archon's communication network. But, on that fateful day when the Echo was going to meet up with one of their contacts, Trevor McConnel, to finalize their plan. The meeting became an ambush since Trevor ended up betraying Echo. Adam fought alongside his parents before they forced him to leave while they covered the retreat. An Echo member basically carrying Adam away from and in the end, only two members of Echo survived.

For a month, Adam was depressed after the loss of his parents. While his grandmother was also saddened by their loss, she helped Adam remain strong. Giving him some time to think about things and he chose to focus on becoming better. Learning more about their enemy, improving his hacking skills, and more. When it became time to assign a leader for the reconstituted Echo, Adam put his name forward, and for a time, his grandmother considered if Adam was ready to command a cell. Only after seeing Adam's drive did she give him the position and hoped that this was not a mistake.

So now in charge of Echo, Adam hopes to prove his grandmother wrong and see her plan to fruition. Even if it will be harder now after the ambush but, Adam is not to give up so easily. Which now Adam awaits his grandmother's command to finish what they started and really bring the fight to the Archons.

Optional:
Personality: N/A
Likes: Technology, the Cold, Family, Cars, and History
Dislikes: Traitors, Archons, Snakes
Family:
Abigail Morgan(Mother) - Dead
Connor Morgan(Father) - Dead
Catherine Morrow(Grandmother) - Alive

One dingy hacker as promised
If you're reading this and are friendly, here's my resume. If you're law enforcement of some kind then don't bothering trying to cross-reference any of this with your data. I've removed myself and my family from your records. Fuck you.

Name: I erased that long ago so you can just stick with Black Hat, thanks. If you're my boss and thus won't be dissuaded you should be able to see my original name, Epitome Hahn
Gender: Female
Age: I believe 33 but I haven't really kept track. Kind of defeats the purposes of coming up with new identities.
Appearance (picture or written description): Grubby, grim and grimy that's me.
Place of origin: Seattle originally, spent most of my formative years in Macau and then bounced around between various rebel bands in North American and East Asia.
Magic user: Yep
Magic spells: -Hoist: Lifting something with the power of the mind and floating or throwing it somewhere else. I can really only lift up to twenty pounds or so but I can also launch that twenty pounds like a missile. Anything heavier than that just gets sort of dragged, slower and slower as the weight increases.
-Beige: Making myself a blur. I don't become physically invisible but socially, people's eyes slide right past me as I blend into the walls as a faceless drone. I become beneath notice or remembrance, making it harder to alert the enemy. Pairs nicely with forged credentials.
-Wash: For security measures that would take too long to defeat the normal way. I overwhelm their programming and essentially smother it to death with waves of what is basically white noise so that I can pick through the pieces afterward. This is hardly a subtle technique, anyone with any programming know-how will take one look and see that its been tampered with so its really only for smash and grab type operations.
-Zap: A bolt of lightning straight from my hand into someone's head. Guaranteed to give them a bad day.
-Embolden: Using a weapon as a conduit I can channel magic into, making it hit much harder for as long as I'm focusing.
Role: Hacker, security expert, magician
Skills: If it has circuits and a motherboard I know how to take it apart, piece it back together and make it do what I want. Given enough time and a good reason I can break into secure communications channels, access financial information, fry the motherboards in enemy robots or shut down cameras with the press of a button and the whisper of a magic word. I'm not really one for creeping around like a ninja but social stealth is my thing. A lifetime spent coming up with fake identities and hiding the fact that I'm a goddamn wizard means that I'm your girl if you need to enter a building through the front door.
Equipment: H&K MP7 Submachine Gun: Light, easy to use and firing rounds designed to defeat personal body armor. If I have to use a gun I prefer it to be this one
Taurus Raging Judge:For when something absolutely needs to die right now. Can be loaded with .410 shotgun shells or the fairly ridiculous 454 Casull in case I run into any bears.
"Evan": My eye in the sky. Good for surveillance and not much else.
Kaeltech Cyberdeck, Mod "Black Hat": Tech taken from one of Mirat's lapdogs with my own flair added to it. Portable enough to be carried on a simple sling and powerful enough that I'm able to go about my business. Comes with a variety of connectors and adaptors so it can be charged by pretty much anything with an outlet.
PHUD and Headset: Personnel Heads Up Display. Keeps me aware of things as they come up, can accept audiovisual feeds from Evan or any cameras I happen to be wired into and lets me listen to music.

Background: I was born in Seattle, Washington into a family with a long history of dissidence. My father Elias Hahn wasn't attached to any particular cell but worked as a rōnin of sorts, traveling from place to place furtively and offering his services to any group in need of a gunman. My mother was Liang Jingyi, a transplant from Mirat's territory who worked as a systems analyst by day and ran intel to local insurgents by night. Their paths crossed on a small raid against an Archonate armory, they watched each others backs, fell in love and one thing led to another and there I was.

The happy outlaw family thing wasn't going to last. When I was maybe six or seven Dad was killed in action and his body dumped at sea by the group he was with at the moment and Mom, sensing that it was time for a change of location, took me back home to Macau. She hoped that the Archon's rivalries would keep them from sharing too much information thus allowing us to slip through the cracks of society but the risk was still high. To mitigate this she taught me how to become faceless. My identity and very existence was stripped from any and all records and replaced by a series of forged credentials with matching financial histories and bulletproof documentation. I was homeschooled in all the basics along with the tricks of her trade, computers and subterfuge subjects I took to very well.

Magic was trickier to manage. My Dad had been the one who had passed it down to me so without him Mom was forced to find tutors in the various cells and secret societies she dealt with. It wasn't always easy but she managed to find me enough instruction that I could be trusted to cast spells without blowing myself and the whole building up. By the end of my education I was as ready for a life of living in the shadows as I could ever be.

And on my 18th birthday I'd get to experience that life because that was when Mom tossed me towards the door. It was sudden but not unexpected, both of us being in the same place meant an increased risk of attracting attention. We said our goodbyes and I never saw her again, bouncing around different groups in East Asia and North America because I had spent all my life training to be a rebel. The only constant was the pseudonym I went by, Black Hat. I saw some action here and there but most of my work was on the backend, securing floorplans and the itineraries of bigwigs from supposedly secure databases. Without a proper job I supported myself through theft, siphoning money from various banks and other sources into accounts I owned under various fake names.

And that was my life for fifteen years. Pop up somewhere, do odd jobs for the resistance in the area while living in cheap apartments funded by reallocated cash until it was time to delete my current identity and disappear to somewhere else. Eventually I stumbled my way onto a group of Vanguard members operating in Japan and signed on with them for a while. One raid on a security force checkpoint and a reprogrammed warbot later I was asked to stick around full-time. And I did, if only to break up the monotony.

Optional:
Personality: I'm fairly cynical all things considered. Sure I might have resigned myself to a long war against the Archons but that doesn't mean I think we're going to win. The best I can do is keep moving forward and when it all inevitably falls apart I'll go to ground just like I always do. I like to completely rework my appearance every now and again, usually just a dye job, haircut and new sense of style but the occasional bit of plastic surgery never hurt anyone.
Likes: Chess, hot showers, easy money and Skanderbeg
Dislikes: Grandstanding, carelessness, naïve amounts of optimism
Family: If you could see them listed in the report good for you, if you lack that access I'm not giving it out here.

Name: I erased that long ago so you can just stick with Black Hat, thanks. If you're my boss and thus won't be dissuaded you should be able to see my original name, Epitome Hahn
Gender: Female
Age: I believe 33 but I haven't really kept track. Kind of defeats the purposes of coming up with new identities.
Appearance (picture or written description): Grubby, grim and grimy that's me.
Place of origin: Seattle originally, spent most of my formative years in Macau and the bounced around between various rebel bands in North American and East Asia.
Magic user: Yep
Magic spells: -Hoist: Lifting something with the power of the mind and floating or throwing it somewhere else. I can really only lift up to twenty pounds or so but I can also launch that twenty pounds like a missile. Anything heavier than that just gets sort of dragged, slower and slower as the weight increases.
-Beige: Making myself a blur. I don't become physically invisible but socially, people's eyes slide right past me as I blend into the walls as a faceless drone. I become beneath notice or remembrance, making it harder to alert the enemy. Pairs nicely with forged credentials.
-Wash: For security measures that would take too long to defeat the normal way. I overwhelm their programming and essentially smother it to death with waves of what is essentially white noise so that I can pick through the pieces afterward. This is hardly a subtle technique, anyone with any programming know-how will take one look and see that its been tampered with so its really only for smash and grab type operations.
-Zap: A bolt of lightning straight from my hand into someone's head. Guaranteed to give them a bad day.
-Embolden: Using a weapon as a conduit I can channel magic into, making it hit much harder for as long as I'm focusing.
Role: Hacker, security expert, magician
Skills: If it has circuits and a motherboard I know how to take it apart, piece it back together and make it do what I want. Given enough time and a good reason I can break into secure communications channels, access financial information, fry the motherboards in enemy robots or shut down cameras with the press of a button and the whisper of a magic word. I'm not really one for creeping around like a ninja but social stealth is my thing. A lifetime spent coming up with fake identities and hiding the fact that I'm a goddamn wizard means that I'm your girl if you need to enter a building through the front door.
Equipment: H&K MP7 Submachine Gun: Light, easy to use and firing rounds designed to defeat personal body armor. If I have to use a gun I prefer it to be this one
Taurus Raging Judge:For when something absolutely needs to die right now. Can be loaded with .410 shotgun shells or the fairly ridiculous 454 Casull in case I run into any bears.
"Evan": My eye in the sky. Good for surveillance and not much else.
Kaeltech Cyberdeck, Mod "Black Hat": Tech taken from one of Mirat's lapdogs with my own flair added to it. Portable enough to be carried on a simple sling and powerful enough that I'm able to go about my business. Comes with a variety of connectors and adaptors so it can be charged by pretty much anything with an outlet.
PHUD and Headset: Personnel Heads Up Display. Keeps me aware of things as they come up, can accept audiovisual feeds from Evan or any cameras I happen to be wired into and lets me listen to music.

Background: I was born in Seattle, Washington into a family with a long history of dissidence. My father Elias Hahn wasn't attached to any particular cell but worked as a rōnin of sorts, traveling from place to place furtively and offering his services to any group in need of a gunman. My mother was Liang Jingyi, a transplant from Mirat's territory who worked as a systems analyst by day and ran intel to local insurgents by night. Their paths crossed on a small raid against an Archonate armory, they watched each others backs, fell in love and one thing led to another and there I was.

The happy outlaw family thing wasn't going to last. When I was maybe six or seven Dad was killed in action and his body dumped at see by the group he was with at the moment and Mom, sensing that it was time for a change of location, took me back home to Macau. She hoped that the Archon's rivalries would keep them from sharing too much information thus allowing us to slip through the cracks of society but the risk was still high. To mitigate this she taught me how to become faceless. My identity and very existence was stripped from any and all records to replaced by a series of forged credentials with matching financial histories and bulletproof documentation. I I was homeschooled in all the basics along with the tricks of her trade, computers and subterfuge subjects I took too very well.

Magic was trickier to manage. My Dad had been the one who had passed it down to me so without him Mom was forced to find tutors in the various cells and secret societies she dealt with. It wasn't always easy but she managed to find me enough instruction that I could be trusted to cast spells without blowing myself and the whole building up. By the end of my education I was as ready for a life of living in the shadows as I could ever be.

And on my 18th birthday I'd get to find out because that was when Mom tossed me towards the door. It was sudden but not unexpected, both of us being in the same place meant an increased risk of attracting attention. We said our goodbyes and I never saw her again, bouncing around different groups in East Asia and North America because I had spent all my life training to be a rebel. The only constant was the pseudonym I went by, Black Hat. I saw some action here and there but most of my work was on the backend, securing floorplans and the itineraries of bigwigs from supposedly secure databases. Without a proper job I supported myself through theft, siphoning money from various banks and other sources into accounts I owned under various fake names.

And that was my life for fifteen years. Pop up somewhere, do odd jobs for the resistance in the area while living in cheap apartments funded by reallocated cash until it was time to delete my current identity and disappear to somewhere else. Eventually I stumbled my way onto a group of Vanguard members operating in Japan and signed on with them for a while. One raid on a security force checkpoint and a reprogrammed warbot later I was asked to stick around full-time. And I did, if only to break up the monotony.

Optional:
Personality: I'm fairly cynical all things considered. Sure I might have resigned myself to a long way against the Archons but that doesn't mean I think we're going to win. The best I can do is keep moving forward and when it all inevitably falls apart I'll go to ground just like I always do. I like to completely rework my appearance every now and again, usually just a dye job, haircut and new sense of style but the occasional bit of plastic surgery never hurt anyone.
Likes: Chess, hot showers, easy money and Skanderbeg
Dislikes: Grandstanding, carelessness, naïve amounts of optimism
Family: If you could see them listed in the report good for you, if you lack that access I'm not giving it out here.
