GUYS! We need to pull our money together so we can buy a mini evangelion mech! And a weapon for it! I can't assimilate the mech, but I can assimilate the weapon the mech holds!

Oooh! Oooh! I'll take the mech itself!

Considering our relative poverty, we probably wouldn't be able to afford one that has a very good AI, and thus won't have the memory required to hold you.

We're pirates.
Clearly the obvious solution is to stage a suicide mission to steal one.

Whatever your plan is, I can take the form of a mecha so it looks like we have two!

EDIT: That said, if he can fit on a thumb drive I think he can fit on a mecha.

Minor modification to Rook: the parrying penalty in the PowerBands makes no sense. It's literally just throwing a 'gloved' hand in front of the weapon/projectile and maybe giving it a push; a -3 is simply too much for such a simple action. How about no penalty for unarmed attacks and heavy melee weapons, -1 for light melee and large and/or slow projectiles (say, cannonball or larger), and -2 for fast xor small projectiles? (Fast and small projectiles at a worse penalty decided situationally.) Additionally, would the parrying gain the bonus from Pacifistic combat style, as it is techniclly a technique of unarmed combat?

Don't you require all your nanites to look like you have a solid human body? Would you have enough for an entire mecha?

Kevak approved of Nivian being able to create an entire room of human doppelgangers. While they're basically intangible and unable to fight or carry objects, they look lifelike and can talk. Considering that Nivian doesn't need to simulate the insides of the mecha, she could probably just spread her nanites out over the surface area of the mecha, or at least the front (to make it look like a real mecha from a distance). It's all just an illusion, so I don't see how that's overpowered from a gameplay standpoint.

I plan to try and upgrade my total nanite capacity over time, since my character design doesn't lend itself well to gear-based progression.

Wasn't saying it was OP, I just wanted to know how it works. It's pretty cool. How does Excalibur get charged, by the way? Do you soak it in electricity or put alot of nanites in it or what?

Well, I'm not sure to what extent I have control over the rules and mechanics. My intent was that excalibur is only really good for a couple of highly lethal attacks (only expending energy if they connect) before needing to be recharged. The gameplay then revolves around Nivian finding sources of energy, such as reactors or power conduits, and breaking into them to recharge. She's not good for slaughtering masses of troops, but is capable of taking out a high-priority target or two. My main goals are manipulation and support, rather than combat.

Tbh, H probably works better in an antagonist role, causing trouble several times then getting in a climactic, bloody fistfight that ends in a Rasputinian death.

[SOLDIER First]

And then has tHeir body parts launched at people.

I just read your character sheet and I have to ask something regarding your backstory. It says that you've killed several combat augs....is that referring to human augs or KX9 augs?

Roll to Space Pirate. We're villain protagonists, or anti-heroes at best.

"*sigh* Fine, we'll save the universe or whatever..."
"Yay!"

I'd like to think of my character as having a noble cause, but she runs into conflict with other people's utopian ideals. Pirates are the only ones who can tolerate her, so naturally she travels with them.

She's also not perfectly sane, but that's true for most characters we have.
