Buffalo Spider mission

Join the mission. Eveyone at Omega is off-limits, if I'm on-mission then I have a chance.

Everyone with a Mark or Brand. There are nonsapients here as well. Insects don't ypically get branded.

((Ugh.  I pretty much lost what was happening to Dar, in-character wise.  I know he was gonna end the encounter being really pissed at command, but don't remember what he was actually gonna do.  So I'm just gonna assume it resolved as I had expected it would.

...Also, what happened to the "Return to Lathal" mission?  ))

Dar will go on the mission, though he's currently being grumpy and silently laying on some high thing away from the others.

Eh, the officer said something about doing something good for nature or something. He was waiting on Dar's reply. As for Lathal, I believe that was where that discussion was headed, and I did an interest check for a return mission a while ago, but got little response. Then i forgot. Remind me and I'll post another one after this mission, unless

If you guys prefer ,we can send you to Lathal instead.

Edit:

"Since when motherfucker! Ain't no birds seen flashy mission chits around here! Furry bastards don't get to change the rules like that! We'll peck you!"

Peck the dude till he gives us sharp and pokey.

(6) v (3) you jab the guy pretty hard a few times. He is bleeding when he final shoves you back and gets his hand on a club nearly as big as you are.
"You wanna try your luck? Didn't ya hear the mission bell? go to the briefing and get on the mission, they'll give you a chit and you can come back for whatever they let you have then, ya idiot.Otherwise, rot for all I care."

[Lenglon]

-.- you know the limits Valyrie has on target selection and how different targets get different weights. she has NO valid targets in Omega. Insects don't count for her EITHER.

[Pancaek]

What's this Lathal thing? I don't have a preference because I'm don't know what it entails.

[Twinwolf]

((I think Lathal is the mission that killed nearly everyone who went on it))

[Ozarck]

I know. But rats and snakes also exist.

What's this Lathal thing? I don't have a preference because I'm don't know what it entails.

Lathal was the other mission while you were in the caverns. The factory planetoid in the Skye. The goal was to acquire the Heart of Lathal and bring it to Omega, because it is a Very Powerful Artifact. (and yes, like Twinwolf says: there were few survivors.)

[syvarris]

((Nah, I'm fine with waiting.  It'll give me time to get back into the groove of playing Dar, and Leng's char would just be excluded anyway since it's a dead world.  Least she can do something on the current mission.))

[Lenglon]

((Don't be afraid to exclude me right now.  I don't feel up to RPing Valyrie right now))

Specializations:
Axing Questions
Arbalist
Carrying Heavy Shit

Description: A, uh, female human. Despite being seemingly entirely mundane and non-magical, she can lift incredibly large weapons and use them in battle. Typically wears a cloth bandanna over her face to appear impartial. Doesn't use any armor, as that would be too much weight combined with her heavy crossbow and massive axe. She is illiterate and has extreme difficulty forming new long term memories.
How did you become part of the Omega Legion?: Vertically split a merchant who denied her payment for some "mercenary work".
Background: Her features suggests descent from the wild barbarians who live in the mountains to the distant south, but she does not remember her childhood, or any other major life events. Recently she has put her skills (which she knows not the origin of) to work as a mercenary and assorted violent job doer. Her style of fighting is slow, but can easily crush unprepared foes in a single blow.

[syvarris]

No stat can start above +2 or below -2.

(( :\

...+2 str +1 con?  Or maybe drop that dex penalty (and int I guess), rolling seems like a dextrous thing...))

[Egan_BW]

((Fuck that, that rule has already been broken, except in that case there weren't enough negatives to pay for it all. I don't see why I should be barred from making my character interesting.))

[Ozarck]

-sigh- I knew this would happen when I started making exceptions.

Am I gonna have to start pissing people off and voiding existing characters?

[Lenglon]

I have no problem with Egan's character, just being blunt - its a non-caster. im not worried about it being broken by having a +3 str, and it fits the archetype well. but if Val has to be voided over it, then so be it.

[randomgenericusername]

Im reading this and looks very interesting, so I made a character sheet. Is this good? I didn't really understand the specialization and magic. The setting is on medieval times, right?
 

Spoiler: WIP (click to show/hide)

Name of Character: Omicron-946 "Thaumas"

Race: Floating eyeball. These creatures resemble actual eyes, but bigger and more magical. They were created artificially by a wizard to protect his dungeon and the legendary artifact in it, working as his guardians, alerting the wizard each time they spotted an invader with their telephaty and using their innate abilities to stop them, like their paralyzing gaze. Their innate abilities are simple: basic telephaty to be able to communicate, but only works at medium distances; basic telekinesis field to be able to move stuff near them, only work at short distances and can't move things that are too heavy; levitation to be able to float and move arround, but can't be used to move too high or too fast; and a paralyzing gaze, the only defensive move they have. This gaze can paralyze organics that can see them, only for a short time and can't affect machines and such. The floating eyeballs, when eaten, can grant the same telephatic power they use to communicate. [Yes, it's the nethack monster]

-Innate magic [Very minor telephaty, telekinesis, paralyzing gaze and and levitation, needed so I can be able to talk, move and pick up light stuff]
-Really smart, his mind works like a supercomputer, good at stuff that requires brains (even if he maybe lacks one?)

Description: A common floating eyeball, it is arround the size of a beach ball. Its iris is green.

How did you become part of the Omega Legion? He saw himself joining the legion in a vision from the future, so he did. No one can fight fate.

Background: Used to be known as Omicron-946, as that was his designation back at the wizard's dungeon. After falling on a magical fountain on accident, his magical powers were greatly increased, granting him the ability to see the world in many different ways (Infrared, X-ray vision, that stuff) and the ability to see in the future and the past. Using these abilities he escaped from his dungeon-prision to accomplish his dream: becoming a wizard stronger than his master and free his people. He is now known as "Thaumas the All-Seeing" (but no one calls him that, because it's silly.)

[Ozarck]

Frankly, with as many characters as Egan has gone through, I'm not really opposed to his new character being what it is. Call the slight stat irregularity a "veteran's bonus" or something. I've allowed worse, after all, eh?

Approved. Feel free to wander around Omega base for a bit. I think there's a link to a descripton of the base in the OP. Welcome to the Legion.

So, can I actually learn and try other types of magic that are not my specialization? Will all attacks instantly kill me?
