Byntanium: Sellswords of the Binary System [7/6]
« on: July 08, 2013, 09:16:57 am »

The era of magic has long since passed. Megacorporations rule the solar system, controlling the three major planets and all stations in between. Governments squirm under the immense pressure of debt, allowing the corporations to dominate the lives of all their citizens. Trying to make an honest living… That’s the most foolish thing you can do. Steal, kill, cheat, lie. Do whatever needs to be done. Claw your way up and one day you might just have what it takes to become a Sellsword.

This is a cyberpunk/fantasy RTD taking place in the Oculus System, a binary star system host to thirteen planets, three of which are habitable. The players play as Sellswords, corporate mercenaries that do various jobs for the megacorporations of the system. Shadowrun-y? Yes, very.

Well, let's say you're going away from Earth on huge spaceship and suddenly shit goes wrong and you have Super Mutants. Social Experiments prepared them for this.

Now it never would.

Name: Zbax the Brute
Race: Ramok 
Appearance: Dark brown scales and a face that would make his own brood-mother cry.
Profession/Specialty: Heavy Weapons Guy
Equipment: 1x Blaster Launcher, 1x Flamer, 5x Blaster Bombs,10x napalm canisters, 1x Sandvich,500 credits.
Stats
Strength: 60
Endurance: 30
Agility: -55
Perception: 20
Intelligence: 20
Charisma: 20
Attunement: 0
Luck: 40

Remember, you can only decrease a main stat to -30 at generation. Also, it cost double to raise Luck from 20 to 40. Here's your block right now:

Strength: 20 (20)(+20)
Endurance: 30
Agility: 10 (-65)(Minimum -40 with racial)
Perception: 20
Intelligence: 20
Charisma: 20
Attunement: 0
Luck: 0 (60)

I know it's a bit convoluted, but bear with me!

Oh, and I know blaster launchers are awesome, but they're a bit strong for a starting weapon. Flamer is good, though. Also, since it's an Incinerator type, you get enough ammo to get you through a mission. A vague amount that only runs out if you use the item excessively.

Name: Hawk Malice
Race: Human(Lomaner)
Appearance: A green skinned, red haired and blue eyes woman. A petty face, but she won't be winning any contests.
Profession/Specialty: Blade dancer
Equipment: Shock katana(Energy), Ballistic submachine gun, ammo, anything else your character might have. 500 credits
Stats
Strength: 20
Endurance: 0
Agility: 40
Perception: 10
Intelligence: 10
Charisma: 20
Attunement: 0
Luck: 20

Everything checks out, you're good to go.

Oops, I mean you still have 20 points to spend! You get 20 points at generation.

Name: Audacious Flit
Race: Kharmino
Appearance: Audacious Flit (Audi or Flit to every non-Kharmino) is more than half-mammalian, her avian features-feathers, talons, sharply angular features-are prominent, yet subdued by her distinct human heritage. She is considered a half breed, in all respects, but considers herself Kharmino. Flit has dark brown skin all over her body, only her stomach and middle section being slightly lighter brown in coloration. Her feathers are a blend of russet, dark red. Her scalp is nearly bare of feathers, though, and has short tawny hair in a small ponytail-which she keeps in immaculate condition. Her eyes are dark blue, almost sapphire. Her talons are thin and short, delicate, and too small to use as weapons, yet her fingers are agile enough for fine manipulation-they are coloration primarily jet black, with vibrant lines of crimson in the center-though they are attached to almost human-like hands. Her feet and lower body are almost entirely avian, large and powerful-three toes each, hardened slabs of dark skin, and giant weighty claws. She is small fora Kharmino, hardly 4.5 feet tall and coming in at barely 120 pounds.
Profession/Specialty: Medic
Equipment:
Primary/ S-500K 'Loveletter' Revolver Shotgun (Short Ranged, Ballistic)
Secondary/ M54 wrist-mounted 'Snubthrower' (Short Ranged, Incinerator)

500 Credits

Stats

Name: (not sure yet, any guidelines for Degwalkers?)
Race: Swampborn Degwalker
Appearance: Has an incredibly scarred face, twisting his features into a permanent sneer.
Profession/Specialty: Assassin
Equipment: Collapsible sniper(rail) ,serrated long-knife(mundane), 500 credits, 2 arc grenades
Stats
Strength: 40  (-10)
Endurance: 0
Agility: 40
Perception: 20
Intelligence: 30
Charisma: -20
Attunement: 40  (+10)
Luck: -10

Ah, I forgot naming for the degs, adding in now...

Also, your stats block looks like this:

Strength: 10 (10)(+20)
Endurance: 20 (-20)
Agility: 20 (20)
Perception: 20
Intelligence: 20 (10)
Charisma: 20 (-40)
Attunement: 10 (40)(20 points to 20, 20 points to 30)
Luck: 0 (-10)

You're ten points over. Remember, Attunement cost double to raise to 40, but your +10 makes it so you only have to pay 20 to get it to 30.

Name: Audacious Flit
Race: Kharmino
Appearance: Audacious Flit (Audi or Flit to every non-Kharmino) is more than half-mammalian, her avian features-feathers, talons, sharply angular features-are prominent, yet subdued by her distinct human heritage.

Sheet done:

Name: Turgidly-Ululate
Race: Vesuan
Appearance: about 2 meters and 20 centimeters tall, he looks like a person that makes lots of funny faces, and this is, by and large, rather true, apart from it being funny. His unusually large eyes and toothless mouth give him a surprisingly immature look, at least to non-Vesuans, and despite his best efforts to occasionally appear intimidating or mysterious, he most often looks merely cheeky or, failing that, highly suspicious.
Profession/Specialty: Engineer
Equipment: Heavily Modified Arc Welder (Energy), Flamethrower In A Can, Multitool, 500 Credits
Stats:
Strength: -30 (+50)
Endurance: -10 (+30)
Agility: 50 (-30)
Perception: 50 (-30)
Intelligence: 40+10 = 50 (-20)
Charisma: -30-10 = -40 (+40)
Attunement: 0
Luck: 40 (-60)

I certainly hope that works.
