If you're confused, go look at the main thread.
This thread exists for the purpose of fulfilling the desires of players who are not fortunate enough to be on a mission. Here your character can do things hopefully entertaining, but that won't interfere with the, uh very tactical goings-on of the main game.

So here's how it works: post a bolded action along with your character sheet and someone will provide a "turn" for you. This can be anyone, provided they are not doing their own action. The results of an action may be determined by whatever method you deem fit, such as dice, whim, tarot cards... whatever.
The exception would be intentionally giving an action a bad result out of malice or an attempt to get ahead. Or anything I deem blatantly lore-breaking.


Mages can have trances that happen to work exactly like virtual reality. Convenient, huh?

Recommended activities:
Hunting
Fishing
A game called "PUNCH KAIJU" (Punch a bunch of giant monsters in the face in this "simplified model" of mech piloting!)
A game called "Footslogger 8000" (Exceptionally realistic! Many small details are modeled! Incredibly boring!)
Generalized "what would happen if..." simulator
Weapon design!

A word of warning: if I run a turn for anyone, it's going to be postmodern in some way.

Post to watch or run a turn (into the ground).

Now if I had a mech suit, hard suit say, with a rail gun in the 6 Megavolt range and I were to fire that rail gun at a set of 4 mages, each with increasingly dense armor made of magical substances, how long would it take my rail gun slug to finish its taxes and return home to find out his wife is cheating on him with the ICBM from across the street?

Please be specific, It is very important.

'Yes.'

[Egan_BW]

Exactly 3.54 grams.

Ahem. So, that would be a light weapon railgun, huh. You line up four mages in armor made of magical substance, of which there is exactly one in the universe. So I assume they're wearing breastplates of frozen arcane or something, whatever. You fire your railgun at the first mage and it is gibbed. You aim for the second mage and pull the trigger, but the railgun fails to fire because railguns are pieces of shit that require constant rail replacement. At this point the other three mages have finished taking off their pointless arcane armor and drop a warehouse of c4 on top of you, blink away, and hit the detonator.
The ensuing explosion atomizes you, your mech and it's railgun, the railgun's slug, the slug's taxes, the slug's wife, and the nuclear ICBM you were foolishly standing on top of.

Try fishing, I guess.

Spoiler: Ursus (click to show/hide)

Name: Ursus.
Appearance: A tall and muscular man, around 50-60 years old. Long, gray hair and chestnut eyes. Multiple old battle scars in his whole body, mainly in his bare chest and face. He wears a hollowed-out bear head, skin and fur as some sort of hooded cloak, and a pair of bear-skin pants. His spirit animal has always been the bear.
Personality: He is a very tame and pacific man, but when he is forced to fight, he enters a wild and bloody frenzy that doesn't stop until someone is dead, his allies included. His voice is very deep and raspy, and he talks slowly (Liiiikeeee... Thiiiis...) He is always very lazy when out of combat and most of the time he is either hunting, eating or sleeping.
Health: Some scars, from other animals he has fighted against. None of them are too severe or recent, because he just recently finished hibernating.
Traits:
   Hard ((A certain toughness of the flesh makes minor injuries less problematic from a purely physical point of view.))
   Spiritual ((Advantage to selfshift bear features.))
   Bloodthirsty
Inventory:
   Soulclaws
Mana: 3/3
Push: 0/0
Mana Tether: Weapon (Steel claws)
Powers:

Tarot Card: Nine of Cups

You wade into a nearby river, completely nude (as you are want to do), summon your claws and go to town. By the time you're done, your claws are buried within at least 30 different fish. The area of where you went "fishing" is clearly marked, with the water behind you turning a deep crimson from all the fish you skewered

[Egan_BW]

I approve of this approach.

So, what do my new breakbolts look like, and how did I discover the changes to my abilities?

Humour: [4] Phlegm.
Cell state: [2] Apoptosis.

Phlegm apoptosis: these bolts destroy things cleanly and efficiently. No nonsense, no pathos, but cold and controlled. Apathetic killing.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Dark and oily. Something between a shadow and an oil spill, with the slightest hint of a colorful rainbow. Upon contact with any object, it will perform the smallest possible kinetic action to "break" that object. Meaning that it will fairly peacefully rip a sheet of paper in half, but deliver a much stronger impact against a steel plate, as more force is needed to break steel than paper. Contact with machines will likewise be less-energetic affairs, simply slipping cogs out of alignment and such.

As for how you discover these things... Well, that's mostly up to you. But I'd suggest something like trying to use your lightbolts and casting breakbolts instead, or trying to blink and getting a pocket dimension instead.
