I suppose a good question would be why you would not want an avatar. Obviously, I suppose that there are at some advantages to not having one, at least minor ones, though I'm not really sure.

Being able to fit your ass through most doors is the primary advantage, one has to guess. And not going berserk when you die as well. Although if Auron got one, he could be an Avatar of Loot and basically steal everything he could carry, which would presumably be quite a lot with the power of the avatar. He could even have a humongous loot platform to help carry things around, one of those antigravity thingies. And he could even have his very own dragon's hoard that he sits upon in the hangar!

I like this idea.

I actually considered getting a custom synthbody styled around a dragon with a prehensile tail that could operate in both bipedal and quadrapedal modes.
Perhaps i should get the avatar customised in a similar manner, ignoring the tail i'd end up being five meters long on all fours instead of five meters tall and might just be able to squeeze through hallways.

Clearly running multiple missions at the same time is a terrible idea.  The epic battle to see which team can cock it up worse has escalated again.

And Larry kinda gets blueballed in all this; just left with a raging bone spear and no where to put it.

Remember that you need some will to control an avatar.

Say. Simus said we wouldn't need tokens anymore on Hephaestus. Is this true? If so, I'm gonna be looking into stuff...

Remember, if Hephaestus gets boring, you can always take the blues' way out and make a new char.

@Piecewise: Can we spawn new chars on Hephaestus if we die?

I have some will, if we actually level up ill hit 5.
...still, i think id actually prefer the custom synthflesh over the avatar. Doors and all that.

Even if thats the case youll likely still have a resource budget, its not like your gonna be allowed to churn out highly sophisticated autonomous antigravity turret platforms equipped with heavy particle accumulator cannons and plasma burst shields whenever you feel like it.

Hum...I want to get back in game but then everyone I know is inactive or...dead. :/
Great.

Lars likes Feyri!





Yeah, Lars is quite the shot at this point.  If fate got him a synth arm/body, then he'd be at a frightening +3 base bonus at conventional.  What happens when a guy with a heavy gauss cannon throws a nine?

Flint likes Feyri too, although he hasn't had much chance to talk to her after mission 8. Or anyone, really.

And what you should be asking is,  what happens when you roll a 9 with a Lesho rifle/fusion instigator.

You probably shouldn't give one to the zealot to begin with.

Quote
In Greek mythology, Phobetor ("frightening"), Ikelos, Icelos or Icelus was one of the Oneiroi, the personifications of dreaming. According to Hesiod,[1] Phobetor is the son of Nyx, the primordial goddess of the Night, produced parthenogenetically, or as Cicero claims,[2] with Erebus, the embodiment of Darkness. The Phobetor had the ability to appear in the mortal realm in the guise of various animals and could change their physical forms at will in order to interact with mortals in the waking world. Phobetor was the personification of nightmares and appeared in dreams in the form of animals or monsters. Among the gods he was known by his true name, Icelus (Ikelos "semblance"). Together with his brothers, Phobetor resided in the land of dreams (Demos Oneiroi), a part of the underworld.

I'm off to work on getting missions set up and working on the history thing. I'll see everyone tomorrow for movies.

Oh and TEN, people, I'll do a post for you either this evening or tomorrow during the movies. I just gotta get this stuff done.

Oh and seeing as we're about to launch a Player run R&D group, I figured now would be the right time to upload and post this. Just to see the effect.

Quick, let's all adapt that for use as Battlesuit weaponry!




Lars can get up to +2 2/3 in Con this level.  That just seems downright dangerous.  The neuro amp is tempting, though... can just squeak into the requirements of the higher grade one!

Do it! It's an unbearable shame that nobody has gotten one yet, really.

Heh, when I saw the word Herald, I expected something a bit more silvery and surfer-ish. Maybe that is where the Altered came from? Don't really know much about the Altered, though, so I could be way off on my guess. Or we'll have to fight Galactus or some Lovecraftian world eater. Or it could be much much worse.
