A journey of Magic, Sci-Fi and a bit of deception...

Spoiler: Background Story (click to show/hide)

"Aries..." a female voice spoke though FTL communications... "Any progress on finding IT?"

"No, Britannia..." a male voice spoke... "Seems IT has offically left Aries territory, on route to Garderobe...

"Britannia... why the interesting in IT?" A male voice spoke as he was now wondering... "We can't exactly get it off Avalon without someone finding out what we're carrying.

"With IT, we can truely bring down the mighty... remind them of their place in this natural world!" the first voice spoke... "Listen Zipang... it is time we bring ourselves to true Enlightment and control, before THEY appear to take everything from us!"

"Ah yes... the many enemies that seek power for themselves..." a female voice, broadcasting from Artai, or what's left of it anyways, said... "Do not worry about them... University forces are going to use their breakthough in Element Zero-based equipment to make sure they don't make a move on Avalon..."

"Any word from the Otome?" a male voice spoke... "The other nations haven't reported"

"Windbloom here!" a brash female voice spoke... "Garderobe's under attack, Schwartz is moving in looking for HIM."

"WHAT! This... alright, send Elimination orders to our agents at Garderobe if anyone survived the initial assault, it's time we react..." the first female spoke... as all the screens were shut off... "Soon, IT will be in our control... and those fools will hand it over to us...

Spoiler: Rules (click to show/hide)

This RTD game is a Planetary Hop across Avalon, located in Alpha Centauri, and into the larger Galaxy. The Action begins in Garderobe (from the anime series Mai-Otome) and has the survivors of the initial attack moving all over to undermine Schwartz and their ambitions. However, some players have their own plans for some of the key parts of Schwartz' scheme to bring down an entier system...

Roll Results for reference:
    1- Epic failure. Disaster ensures here (degree of disaster depending on modifiers)
    2- Failure.
    3- Marginal success.
    4- Success.
    5- Perfect success.
    6- Overshot.

Hits during combat tend to land in random places, (dependant on a d100 instead of the standard d6, based on the Hitchart below). The result of the Wound depends on the weapon, how armored the target is, and the weapon's Penetration raiting.

Some Weapons are considered to be Element Zero-based: These reduce the Armor Protection of targets hit by such weapons by one rank (Very Heavy -> Heavy, Heavy -> Medium, Medium -> Light and Light -> Unarmored). Unfortiantely, this does not affect the Armor found on Magical Girls so don't try it (however, there will be chances for non-Magical Girls to take a real bite out of them if you're lucky).

In addition, some characters have a Barrier raiting next to their health status: This represents a Shield found around the character, and is an abstract value of how protected they are from wounds, and can break if enough firepower makes it though the shield. If a character has a Barrier, and is struck in combat, the Barrier will reduce damage first, before making contact with Armor and if the weapon still has some power left, contact with flesh. Characters who's Barriers have been broken due to excessive damage must wait 2 turns to recharge their Barrier.

All players will receive Secondary Objectives via PM, some helpful, some Counterproductive, and some are just outragiously contradictive to another player's agenda.

Unlike other RTD games, the game ends in defeat if 30 PCs are dead. Players who lost their PC cannot gen another one until the Death count reaches 15, and again when the count reaches 25. The party will consist of 6 people, and as many NPCs as needed.

Spoiler: Character Generation (click to show/hide)

All PCs are Humans here, though you will run into Alien allies here and there...

Name:
Age:
Gender:
Character type (Nano-Auged, Otome (counts as Nano-Auged and Magical Girl), Magical Girl, non-Auged Human):
Weapons Training (select up to 2 from Melee Weapons, Pistol, Submachine Gun, Sniper Rifle, Assault Rifle, Shotgun or Heavy Weapons):
Skills (Up to 5, these are skills not related to the Mass Effect 3 character builder, though are stuff like specalizations in particular styles, things like hacking, medical and other such things):

Nano-Augmentated characters get all the Pre-Installed Augs plus three Augmentations of their choice (making sure that each location has one Augmentation per given Slot) at Tech 1. Note that in the case of Leg and Arm-based Augmentations, a Critical Damage result that would cause you to lose said limb takes the bite out of any Augmentations tied to that slot, but won't cause you to lose that Augmentaion, only the lost of BOTH Arms/Legs can have that effect.

Non-Augementated and non-Magical Girl characters can select their powers from this link, though players must use the Human, Ex-Cerebus or N7 variants of their class, by distributing 84 points across 6 powers. Post the Link with your completed build in your PM

Magical Girl characters select a theme, and 1-5 attacks, one of which is your finisher.

Characters, no matter their type, start play with up to two weapons from their Trained types, Medium or Light Armor of their choice (protects all but Head), and can choose to have a Barrier Generator (in Medium or Low-powered variants) to round out their arsenal.

Submit your characters via Private Messaging, to hide information from each other.

Spoiler: Combat Options (click to show/hide)

During a Combat Encounter, players take turns setting up Actions to ward off enemies, or striking at each other for various reasons. The following are a list of Actions (though players can elect to pull out stunts other then these actions)

Typically the turn order goes PCs -> Enemies -> Remaining NPCs -> PCs

Melee Weapons (Some Weapons may lack the following options)

• Speed Swing: Melee Attack focusing on Accuracy, at +1 to hit, effective against unarmored foes
• Standard Swing: No modifiers, normal Melee attacks
• Heavy Strike: Melee Attack focusing on striking down your foe, though at a -1 to hit.
• Precise Strike: Aim for a specific body part of the enemy, modifier varies

Ranged Weapons (depends on weapons, not all options are there)

• Single Shot: Fire a single bullet (or blast) from your weapon
• Burst Shot: Fire a set of bullets from your weapon, at -1 to hit
• Full-Auto Shot: Fire several bullets at once, however, such a wild attack is at -2 to hit
• Spread Shot: Fires a shell out of the gun at a cone
• Flamer Burst: Attack at a cone, all hits inflicted on the enemy is limited to Body
• Called Shot: Cannot be used in conjuction with a Flamer or Grenade, Aim for a specific body part of the enemy, modifier varies

Two-Weapon Fighting (depends on combination)

• Double Lock-on: Fires both Pistol-type weapons striking either 2 enemies at once, or 1 enemy twice, at -1 to Hit in both cases
• Twin Strike: Swings both Melee weapons at 1 enemy twice, at -1 to hit
• Split Strike: Swing both Melee Weapons at 2 enemies once each, at -2 to hit to each enemy

Spoiler: Reminders (click to show/hide)

• The important part of the game, becides having fun is to try to keep your Secondary Objectives a secret, as some of them can contradict one another, counterproductive to the Main Mission at hand, or even call for you to murder another PC.
• Even if you are a Nano-Aug, a couple of bullets can still screw your shit up
• Think outside the box sometimes, there's usually a solution that the enemy hasn't thought of...
• Sometimes sacrificing yourself to save another PC (or several) has it's benefits...
• A headshot can take the bite out of most enemies, though some creatures can be stopped by shooting somewhere else... (pay attention to the Hit Chart section!)
• Some guns have special options, pay attention to them, and remember: Training helps off-set some penalties (Like controlling the recoil of a gun going Full Auto)
• One final thing: May the Omnissiah bless your weapons, to always remember to fight as if your life depended on it, and always be ready to have a plan to make a run for it!

The Game will begin as soon as I get 6 sheets submitted

[Baradine]

Not sure if I want to do this... I'll reserve just in case.

[wolfchild]

Reserving please, I have stuff to do but will make my character when I have a chance

[Spaghetti7]

Very interested. Sent in a sheet if there hasn't been the max number already. and wondering why in God's name I was the first.

[BlasterKyubey210]

5 slots left, topic updated.

[Spaghetti7]

No one else? Seriously? Ususally RTDs fill up in a matter of seconds; what's wrong with this one?

[Baradine]

There's some formatting issues, and the abilities aren't really too clear.  Also IT?  Just a tad overdone.

I think it could really attract some players if cleaned up, though.

Don't know where the formatting issues are, and I will concede that some abilities aren't clear, but I just chose the characters that are: e.g Nano-Augs, cuz you can just take them straight off a wiki.

Given that there are three different character archetypes, and this is a triple crossover (Magical Girl, Dues Ex, Mass Effect), I think that it should be more spelled out like that, instead of having to look the block of text that is character creation.

If this had better formatting, an abilities system that wasn't in some wiki, and a better background, I would have sent my sheet in already.

Alright. I get your point, but I assumed that, because I don't know much about Magical Girl or even Mass Effect, it would be clearer to people who do.

[wolfchild]

Still going to make a char just have not had the time yet, and more clear chargen rules would also be helpful

Yea, maybe I wasn't too clear on the thing, I had to get the draft checked by another member and they think they got enough stuff... whoops...

Maybe I should put more reference info so people can learn about the stuff, since I forgot the Character Builder link only gives you the crunch and stuff, and not character information

Here's the info stuff and lacking the crunch of the builder

Finally, not everyone has the research background to remember stuff off the top of hteir heads, so I linked the wiki and stuff so to make sure people don't really play underhanded
