Nah, I've done that already. I'm thinking ... octopus. To start.

No fun when you start out half way to chuthulu

Description: An octopus-like creature about the size of a largish dog, with a spattering of black and white spots that drift lazily across the surface of its rubbery exterior. Its skin is a range of mottled earth tones, although its hue varies slightly to reflect changes in mood and temperature.

Like other members of its race, it has a natural inclination toward the psychic magics. As a species, Terrapodes tend to be highly dexterous (due to their rubbery anatomy), but not particularly charismatic or sociable (due to their rubbery anatomy).

How did you become part of the Omega Legion? Sold into legion by an indebted woodsman.

Though he seems idle right now, thought you might want to know there is one already.

Just realised I forgot to refer to the pizza place as the PPPP in my last post.
Edited it, but still. That was silly of me.

[Xantalos]

Oh this won't be a natural octopus.

@Xan- There's more than enough room for multiple vaguely malevolent, cephalopod-like characters in this game. No worries.

(I actually think it would be cool if terrapodes ended up as a fleshed out race with in the game, rather than a vaguely defined idea invented for a single character. I'm guessing you already have a fairly specific idea in mind for your character, but I'd be happy to share my current headcannon regarding terrapodan culture and biology with you on the offchance you're interested in playing as one.)

@Lenglon- Hey, Terr(a/e)nce has actually been somewhat useful this mission. Compared to the last mission, he's been significantly less "idle".

[Ozarck]

He posted in Omega yesterday after missing a turn there. But Omega is still small enough I can make turns almost daily.

And I thank you a lot for it. Out of all the different chars I have made for different fantisy rpgs, I love Arileth almost as my longest running dnd char. You and pw are my fav. Gms [insert anime squeee here]

Thanks. That means a lot, especially from you. We got off on the wrong foot once, long ago, and I am glad we went beyond that and have been having fun together since.

I really should get to making a character for that. Hmm.

Right now there is one inactive bear person at Omega base - a place decidedly less dangerous currently than on ship in ER _{^{unfortunately}}

Since we are on the topic of Omega characters, are you ever going to tidy up your character and join? I think you just had some skill points out of balance, or you could start from scratch. Someone stole your dancing bear character (from that arena game I ran for a short while) - well, it's a lute playing bear instead, but still.

I'd be interested too. I have a head cannon - and some head canon - regarding terrapodes, but am flexible. I'd write it all up in a new spreadsheet for all the races and whatnot.

Also, it's true that you have been pretty active this mission - just not the last two days or so, but that is true of most of the players.

Hmm, I probably should do.
I wrote most of that character idea one day, didn't quite finish it, then came back the next day and sort of kludged the rest together with far less inspiration. I think I was a bit bored of the character by that point. Maybe I should just come up with another one, but I might just go with what's already there.

...Once I finish playing Nuclear Throne, anyway.

Yah, sorry for that Ozark, I was an idiot, a really depressed angry idiot.

The both of us. The both of us.

Protip:  Shoot at things until they die.

...Did Syv fall of the face of the earth? Hope they're all right. They never miss a turn.

Don't worry, I'm not dead.  I've just been cutting back on my B12 time, because I started getting dangerously behind in my Spanish class.  ER in particular can drain hours upon hours of time, while Omega Legion generally takes only a couple of minutes.

...Also, I'm male.  There's no need to hedge your bets with gender-neutral pronouns.

[Gentlefish]

There's no need to hedge your bets

Syv telling me not to hedge my bets ?

I have a random question that I'm fielding to you guys because quite a few of you are pretty creative. For a game on another forum I'm running, I've invented a creature that I'll describe below, and I need a badass name for it because I can't come up with a good idea.

Take a naked mole rat and size it up so it's 50 feet long. Now instead of just 4 legs, give it 24, spaced out kinda evenly along its whole body. Put gaping maws on the ends of those limbs so it has mouths in it's palm equivalents. Replace its head with a giant drill that's enchanted with fire magic to drill through the earth faster. Put pseudo-tank treads on the outside of its body in the spaces between limbs to give it more traction. Finally, replace most of its guts with a metal compartment that transports troops. Replace its back end with a hatch to load the troops on.

What do you call such a beast? Keep in mind it has to be badass.

I dont know, the digger? Hellprobe? Helldrill(er)? I'm bad with names.
