I can deal wi' rowdy bigjobs alrigh', an' oft'n th'  nae ken wha' hit'em. I'm in on tha'one", says Simmie, already misty-eyed with the thought of an innkeepers' festival.

"My offspring shall assist with the festival" The wasp queen chitters in very broken English

Description: Subject W-3200 is a large hornet queen, who, standing on all six feet, is half as tall as a human's knee. She is about half a meter long. She is colored black and yellow.
How did you become part of the Omega Legion?  Subject W-3200 was captured from the wild and genetically engineered for size and offspring production.
Background: W-3200 hails from a forest surprisingly close to base.
Note: W-3200 does not fight herself, offspring are 'harvested' from her and sent on missions like a dog squad. Ten offspring have been harvested thus far and each killed offspring hurts the queen. If enough offspring dies, she is incapacitated, losing control of the remaining offspring, who will likely die after the loss of control. When all ten offspring die, she is expected to die with them. She seems incapable of having more than ten offspring at a time
innate magic: She has been genetically engineered to be able to nearly directly control her offspring at distances, dependant on willpower.

Alright, if there are no objections from the other players, the hive queen is approved. I'll add you to the OP.  What type of area was your wasp queen from? forest, desert, tundra, deep space? Desert is the only thing within a reasonable distance from the base. this will determine your Nature magic's orientation, though certain Wasp oriented magics will be included either way.

A certain number of offspring will be consumed per level up, and offspring are harvested between missions at a rate of 1d6+magic bonus, to your maximum of 10.

you worked pretty hard on getting this character included.

[Unholy_Pariah]

as long as his character can be killed I have no issue with it.

[Twinwolf]

No preference.

Question; are we going to be able to get any gear whatsoever before this? Several of the characters are practically worthless without a weapon.

[Unholy_Pariah]

job 1 gives basic equipment, that probably covers low quality weapons. hooray for rusty shortswords.

you think we can trade giant hornet honey to nobles for a decent profit? because im totally raiding gamers hive at the first opportunity.

[Insanegame27]

Grrr... *Cough, splutter* sorry had something in my throat.


Not going to happen. Fun fact: wasps actually have a method of sharing energy between each other so they don't die from over-exertion. This enables 30 wasps to raid a beehive 30 000 bees strong for honey and win with no casualties ((Although I'd say whatever company 'owns' us would harvest the honey semi-regularly for the profits, as the Queen is little more than a slave))

[Dutrius]

Ack, clean up? I'm sick of clean up. No. I'm off to...

Durmokh looks around at those who volunteered before him.

You've got to be kidding. Fine.


Looks like I'm on clean up.

"Not sure if a rusty short sword will help against a pile of sludge, but you'll be equipped well enough to do the job we assign you to. Probably. If you prove your value to the Legion, we might even give you a personal locker you can keep your own equipment in. I'll take requests for specific utilities once the jobs have been assigned."

((still trying to decide if I want to introduce an armory system like ER, along with credits or tokens or whatever, or just let equipment progress more naturally. I figured I'd postpone the decision 'til after the first couple of missions.))

apples and coconuts, gamer me lad.

I have +2 constitution, a sturdy ass exoskeleton, and ive taken attack deflection as a specialty.

you can kill an apple, but my guy is a coconut.

((Natural equipment progression is fine as long as we can more or less reliably have chances to get useful and usable loot. Well, at least my character will try to avail himself to the purse of anyone he bounces anyway...

Otherwise, start with an armory on the thread OP or a temporary page on the ER wiki.))

((I agree with this.))

(reggy smiles)I agree we should go to the alchemist maybe I'll be able to learn exactly how I was made!
