np :>

[IronyOwl]

Oh god. I just realized my insatiable lust for making charts of everything is probably going to surface.

What do we have? What do we need? What's the standard deviation in Str scores amongst long-range personnel?

I'll bet a chart could figure that out...

[Blade Master Model 42]

Can the chart tell us which of the researchers is a god forsaken waste of coffee?

Can we know what Str actually affects? o_O
Carry weight, with the base carry weight of 1 Str equaling...how much kilograms oh wait, pounds? >_>

[FelixSparks]

Man I hope this is ok...

It could if progress wasn't being slowed down so much by some god forsaken waste of coffee.

I don't see any weights anywhere, so I would tend to think it affects item slots... but it doesn't say that either.

Almost looks like something it used to/was intended to do but doesn't anymore. Or maybe it's a replacement for CON?


In other news, this project has spiraled completely out of control. It now uses over a dozen colors and sections of it are writhing at me when they think I'm not looking.

[IronyOwl]

So I hate everyone and everything and my attempts to be fancy have rendered my works unreadable, but technically charts exist now. Perhaps this will allow me to move on and actually create a character.

The hexagons under the names are rank and class icons. Everyone is Level 1, so they have one golden boomerang. The color codes follow those in the OP: Green Infantry, Purple Officers, White Medics, Navy Snipers, Brown Heavies, Red Assaults. Also included are hungering jaws and twining snakes, my attempts at custom icons. The snakes didn't come out very well (experimentation with different colors and stripes yielded better but still not perfect results), but they're what I have and the hexagon-things suck.

The other hexagon-things are stat values. In retrospect, they're really hard to read and compare like this. I have made a mistake. Nonetheless, green is one point, blue is five, purple is ten. So a purple, blue, and two green hexagons means 17. The central tile is color-coded for that stat, which should be redundant and obvious because they're also labeled.

The auras around the hexagon-things are stat growth rates, which is another idea that probably didn't turn out so great. Each layer is another 10% progression (special hatred to all of those with 5% progressions; your stats have the color they're not quite at present but partially scraped off). HP has a different starting point than the others but uses the same scale, since in default FEF normal stats can range from 10-70% while HP goes from 40-100%.

On the bright side, you can still tell at a glance that we've got two snipers, two assaults, and one medic, officer, and heavy. So that's... something.

PTW

I shall PTW and see if my notes have been of any use :3

Stay loveable.

The colors~
That's a rather cute rendition of a snake.

[Powder Miner]

martzel's custom emblem would totally be a hammerrrr

[GiglameshDespair]

Con's role has been replaced with str in calculating AS, yeah.

[mastahcheese]

I was actually going to change my progression rates around to be more tank-y, but after all that beauiful work from IO, I can't bring myself to.

So pretty~

Bio: Peter Grey comes from a long line of career officers, dating long before the Napoleonic Wars. Despite the fact that that it's now the future and his family estates are rather run down and dilapidated, Peter is still trying to follow the family traditions by joining the army. Despite being rather young and not terrible competent, somehow he has managed to wrangle his way into XCEF. Possibly because his superiors got annoyed with his constant requests and simply wanted some peace and quiet for a change of pace.

I'm definitely in _{if you'll take me}. This should be pretty damn fun after all.
