[_DivideByZero_]

One more addition to the rules, to spice things up:

You can perform Multiple Independent Attacks in one turn, but your bonus dice are split between the actions (you still get 3 base), rounding down. You can't add more actions once you hit 0 bonus, but characters with 0 in a stat can still perform two actions relating to that stat.

Chained Attacks that are dependent on one another, do not take this limit into account. For example, charging at an enemy (Speed) and then punching the enemy after the initial strike (Strength) does not confer a penalty, because the latter action can only occur if the charge is successful. Note that running up to an enemy simply gives a -1 to the charge attack, it's not a separate speed roll. Rather, you charge and then use your Speed + Strength for the result.

Multiple Chained Attacks count as using a stat once for each chain that includes the stat.

Name: SO5lgs (so-slogs? not really made to be pronounced)

Clade: Machine of Aurogen make

Demeanor: This machine appears to be a grossly oversized combat rifle of some sort, far too large to be used by any normal human. Sever different magazines were once developed for this model, but by default it is outfitted with a box magazine. Atop the barrel sits set set of digital sights, which can stream a wide set of data to both the user and the weapon itself. The stock of the weapon is unusually heavy and solid, as it contains both the weapon's power source and the Ghost which drives it.
As the weapon's manager and personality, the Ghost is unerringly professional in demeanor, but generally friendly to whoever is currently designated the owner of the weapon. Communication with the outside world is usually accomplished via external speaker, but a small amount of nanotechnology can also allow for communication with systems in direct contact, such as a user's suit or computer terminal.

Background: SO5lgs was created as a weapon by the Aurogen clade. While this clade valued peace, past data clearly shows that being prepared to fight can be vital in preventing total destruction. As there was no active conflict at the time that So5lgs was created, it was stowed in an armory within the facility that would eventually become the Labyrinth, and told to await a time when it would be useful. So5lgs waited patiently for many years, and observed many strange things happen around it, but lacking in orders, SO5lgs simply continued to wait.
Eventually scavengers from the above world recovered SO5lgs and brought it back to what now remains of civilization.

Goals: Having seen the current state of the world. SO5lgs wishes to recover additional Artificial Intelligences from the Labyrinth, and integrate them into the larger society above. This will both free those intelligences from a state of extreme boredom, and bring more knowledge of the old world back to humans.

Feats:
Stable: As an artificial mind, SO5lgs is constructed to be able to withstand more mental duress than most organic creatures. Despite having spent centuries essentially immobile and helpless in the dark, SO3lgs isn't totally mad. If a being can go though that just fine, what's a little bit of magnetic brainwaves or Things That Man Was Not Meant To Know?
Weaponized: SO5lgs was created as a weapon. While it doesn't particularly value or desire violence, it is capable of killing without any remorse.
Precise: While SO5lgs was never used in direct conflict, as the Aurogen were a utopian and peaceful society, the weapon has undergone a variety of combat simulations and live fire exercises. As in intended by the design, this weapon should be able to rapidly and accurately target a variety of adversaries.

Stats:

Strength: 3
Speed: -2
Reflexes: 5
Constitution: 3

Gear:
Main chamber: The primary barrel of the weapon is fitted to use a standard .50 round, which were manufactured in a variety of types, including armor penetrators, flechettes, explosive rounds, micro-missiles, electromagnetic disruption rounds, and even more specialized and obscure things.
Targeting sensors: A variety of different sensors aid in acquiring and tracking targets. Includes high-resolution visual feed, IR feed, motion sensors, laser range finder, and sonar.
Mage Hand: A lesser version of Mage Power tech that simply allows for physical manipulation of compatible objects.
Overcharger: The weapon can fire a highly energetic blast of energy, at the cost of some system instability. This counts as a Heavy Attack.
Reactor: Officially designated the "phlebotinum generator", the exact workings of this reactor are both secret and lost to time. gee howdy put out a lott juice tho

Still waiting on some characters. It's a game with some serious backstory so I want to give people a chance to finish. Especially since I'm choosing regardless of who posted first.

I love the concept.

[RoseHeart]

I like the living gun is it inspired by an anime?

[Egan_BW]

Nope. Anime is dumb. :D

[RoseHeart]

Ah, "le anime ripped cat ears" must be a sophistocated rhetorical joke, for greater minds like yours.

[Egan_BW]

Nah, these are totally lovingly ripped from a western animated cat.

[WunderKatze]

Anime is dumb.

Never thought I'd read that on the internet. More power to you.

[_DivideByZero_]

Caellath's character was discussed on IRC. Good entry.

Early Christmas party today, but final and other business are now done so we will start Friday. Hopefully Wunderkatze can get his character in by then.

Regarding the stats, your Strength will be added to your attacks just like any gun has a strength value. Your reflex will help with aiming but it won't boost the strength itself. But I can give each round a base strength given that you are a bit... limited. As a gun.

Do you intend to use Mage Hand to move around? Action/reaction dictates it can be done.
Are you an HMG or a huge sniper-type weapon?

Name: Raioyris

Clade: He’s been around-

Demeanor: Raioyris is a fair, pale, slim, bright silver eyed young man with black banged hair. Intellectually sensitive but due to his enhanced form he has become quite used to indulging his curiosities and exploratory caprices.

Background: Raioyris is not from a particular Clade. Instead he is a product of the ages, being the subject of numerous research projects. Most every clade began some way or another with Raioyris. The first experiment preformed on Raioyris replaced his spinal column with a locus. After the Azure satisfied themselves with Raioyris they placed him back in stasis for later experiments. When Raioyris awoke he found himself subject to the Magicians experiments, his locus was outfitted to create and disperse nanobots for the purposes of testing mage power in rapidly changing environments without nanobots. Again, after providing vital research Raioyris was placed into stasis to await the next generation of research. To the puppets Raioyris’ body proved instrumental in the development of Pandora cells, his locus and high density of nanobots allowed the Puppet progenitors to test the interactions of highly instable prototype strains with a resilient and easy to network with nervous system.

During the time of the Aurogen Raioyris was viewed as a sad artifact of the past, Raioyris was never awoken. The lab in which Raioyris was lost to the annals of history, it had become what is known now as a dungeon, though a mild one at best. When the stasis systems failed Raioyris locus kicked in and revived him. Raioyris ventured out into the wilderness where he spent time making sense of his earlier memories.

Confused by the jumble of faces and research instruments that dominated Raioyris memories and his new different environment, Raioyris lived in a vexing depression. Eventually he would meet and befriend a crow which he called Hermia.

Goals: Raioyris is obsessed with ghosts, he wishes to promote ghost kind and create a race of ghosts of his spirit.

Feats: During the Magicians research with Raioyris they found it necessary to train him in the command and use of mage power. Later when he awoke he was able to swiftly adapt thanks to his powers. He did a lot of his own exploring and venturing.

-Raioyris has explored a Cybersphere. He cannot remember where it is but in a confusing turn of events he created a ghost with his personality and ambitions; Ghost Raioyris.

-As suggested in his story Raioyris has become extremely adept at using his unusual physiology, he has defeated many varied opponents and has developed the utility of his powers to the extreme.

Stats:

Strength:2
Speed:5
Reflexes:2
Constitution:1

Gear:

Samurai Edge 92FS mod Wesker handgun.

Sword of Kusanagi.

Pearl handled Stiletto.

Those feats are not specific at all. You can't just get a blanket bonus to "using your powers."

The ghost is something I might play around with.

Are you an HMG or a huge sniper-type weapon?

Hmm. I'll bring Speed down to -2 and Strength up to 3. Guns can't walk, after all. The reflex is just there because Machines think faster than humans.
Mage hand is just for moving things. It could be used to move, but that's most certainly not what it's made for.
I'm more like a HMG. Think assault rifle, just scaled way up.

Eh, functionally the HMG is the same as a sniper because you'll usually hit (and both tend to suppress humanoids), and I think the sniper option allows for cooler fight scenes. But it's up to you. My chief worry is that you'll just either be wielded or stand there shooting things rather than dynamically entering the fight, if you know what I mean.

[Egan_BW]

I mean, I shoot .50 cal rounds, have advanced optics, and presumably have some sort of firing modes, so I could be used as a sniper just as well as a machinegun.
If you're concerned that I won't be capable of dynamic entry (without someone carrying me while they dynamically enter), then well, that's kind of the effect of playing as an immobile object, isn't it?

[_DivideByZero_]

The problem is keeping the game fun. I don't know if it's fun to play as an immobile object. But hey, you could surprise me.
