After Iveson stopped twitching, he shouted at the ceiling.
"WHO ARE YOU, voice of green? You are not God, surely, for He speaks in fiery rainbows accompanied by dueling guitar solos. Are you a heathen god sent to test me?"
Ask the mysterious electric green voice.
Then, (time permitting) fire up the VR and test using each of Iveson's weapons (force sword, grenades, telescoping spear, throwing combat knife, spiked knuckles, and blaster pistol) on training dummies. Which are most effective? Which are least effective? And which are most dangerous for Iveson? What's the worse thing that can happen at his skill and stat levels for each?
>I'm steve. Brain the size of a planet and yet here I am, baby sitting crazy people. Ugh. Well in general force sword is best at close range, blaster at a distance, grenades are most dangerous to you. In general.
well, um... which one does it do? If it pursues up the elevator shaft I'm going to be amp-pulling things out of the elevator wall to block its path and slow it down. If it sits back and goes back to waiting, then I'll carefully investigate the surrounding environment, looking for a strong power source to try electrocuting it with somehow.
We'll assume it does the waiting one.
You don't see any obvious downed power lines sitting around, or anything of that nature.
"What. That doesn't even make sense."
((Still fuzz?))
Yep. Red skin UNDER the fuzz.
"What. That doesn't even make sense."
((Still fuzz?))
hey mycroft want something to drink? Might make you feel better I mean drinking stuff usually makes me feel better.hand mycroft the drink (xenospit) Mind if I give you a look over see if I can fix you.
look mycroft over and try and estimate whether it's temporary and if its not possible ways to fix him
Pills are permanent and unfixable by normal means.
Probably should try putting something more exotic in there then your own blood.
So guys, this is where I would post a new character right? Just double checking
EDIT: Ah screw it I'm too excited and I can always move it
Name: Skullsploder I. Havenoklu
Backstory: What happens when a VR addicted 10-year-old's parents die tragically and far away while he's still under? Nothing. The administration couldn't be bothered to identify all the remains in the aftermath of the bombing, and so no one came to take "Skullsploder" out of his life-supported MMO wargaming fantasy. 15 years pass wherein he remains completely motionless, shooting people and healing people as a medic in a free-to-play online grand combat simulator. When his apartment block got condemned, the demolition contractors found a stick-thin, pale thing with wispy hair strapped to a chair with severe damage to his limbs from vermin eating him alive while he remained oblivious. Initially they thought he was dead and evacuated the room because "that shit's nasty." Once they realised he was not dead, the medical crews were called and he was transported to a nearby hospital. He proved to be completely mentally unstable, obsessed with "kill-death ratios," "clans," and "hackers." After fixing the damage to his limbs and making some headway into the muscle atrophy, the hospital turned him over to the relevant authorities for rehabilitation. Due to an administrative typo, he was placed in a home for the criminally insane rather than a home for the clinically insane. When the HMRC called for convicts, he was put into stasis and shipped off to the Paracelsus' Sword's next pickup point. His current official name is a result of being called by nothing but his playertag for 15 years, and answering "I have no clue" when asked for his surname.
Reason assigned to the HMRC: Administrative error, generally being a waste of air.

And another! My my.
Your character looks very reasonable. Unfortunately we live in an unreasonable world.
Lets have some fun.
"Ja, thanks for your help"
I make my way to the Armory and look around, looking for someone who looks like they should be there.
Edit: ((Fortune favours the bolded))
There is a man behind the counter, tallying things on a clipboard. He looks up and stares at you, expectantly.
Skullsploder stumbles out of stasis covered in goop and thoroughly confused.
"A-A-anyone need a medic?"
Stumble out of pod. Crawl to clothes box. Inquire about healguns and blasters. Randomly accuse someone of being a camper.
EDIT: Yeah I looked at all the characters the game had had and didn't find any that were basically physically crippled so I thought "hey, why not?" The lack of both endurance AND agility is going to kill me very quickly in any combat situation and since I'm roleplaying a crippled but determined mentally damaged medic it's going to be very interesting. Oh and the fact that he literally has less general knowledge than a 10-year-old. I'm hoping the fate stat is as important as it sounds. I just hope I live long enough to actually develop the character a bit.
Blasters we got. Healguns...Not that I know of, unless someone added them in my absence.
