OOC Eucharis Discussion

No big deal. Wasn't expecting us to be able to print one out anyways, just wanted to give you a hook in if you wanted to play with the newbie.

 

[Primitive Polygon]

Fair enough.

And naw, @ArsenicJohn , Tugboat was just suggesting peeps should take some hand grenades along in this post. As for the title 'Grenadier', well... 'armored infantry' isn't specific enough, and 'rifleman' doesn't begin to describe catwo-men who may or may not actually have rifles...

But y'all do run ahead and blow up stuff by hand.

 

[Mad_Stylus]

Blowing up is an eventuality at this point.

Also, we're hauling a Keretsui along.

 

[Primitive Polygon]

Indeedy. So I guess it's 'honor guard' now?...

Basically what's happening with the "grenadier" thing is that the characters are getting simplified roles so they can focus on getting the job done right in a real, non-training situation rather than on their designated SOFT specialty. Generally, though, you guys still have the loadouts you want unless Tsuguka says you don't.

Something from Destiny that I thought might fit in this setting:

https://www.destinygamewiki.com/wiki/Mark_of_the_Martyred

It is called the Firebreak Calculus: how much good could I do if I find the right place and fight until I die?

 

[CadetNewb]

Out of nowhere, but this is my favorite idea; a story is only as good as the villain/antagonist!

 

[Rizzo]

Is the team meeting in the wardroom or PA Bay?

 

[Primitive Polygon]

PA Bay, so people can suit up if they feel like it.

Candon has the power to veto that and hold the meeting in the sauna if he really wants, that said.

 

[Rizzo]

Lol
I only ask because we have infantry in the armor bay and officers in the wardroom right now. I'm just not too sure where to put Candon.

 

[ArsenicJohn]

I think we're waiting for the briefing to be called

 

[Mad_Stylus]

That was my impression. Get our toys in order, the briefing gets called on the intercom, we hustle over and then we get told what to do.

Also oh boy these posts didn't pop up in my alert feed. Joyous.

 

[Ametheliana]

I think we need some player poasts to chew on soon.

 

[Mad_Stylus]

I'm assuming @Blizzard didn't move Jax between his last post and now.

 

[Primitive Polygon]

Bep. Have some space neko zeal cheese.

Also, Wes beat me to the punch. >_>

 

[Rizzo]

I've been having trouble with internet connection lately. I'll just go with the flow

 

[CadetNewb]

On a quick side note, don't let our Aether-Wristblade chasing discourage you Wes; the volumetric system is better OOC since we can actually have lightsaber fights now. :3

 

[Rizzo]

I thought the photonic system created projections similar to solid items, disease photonic weaponshave properties similar to plasma/laser? It said we could make tools with it so I assumed the photons we're not harmful without applied force explaining why a photonic screwdriver wouldn't melt the screw

 

[CadetNewb]

They're not harmful, unless you want them to be. My own faction uses a similar system, and I'm certain you can either form solid objects for toolwork, or have it become a monomolecular-vibroblade on demand. This system has far more utility in the field, but trades off the extra firepower that Aether blades have.

 

[Ametheliana]

Currently this is how I've been utilizing the photonic array. Kind of want to know thoughts?

She moved her foot off of the L'Kor's head and turned on her photonic array to create a blade that sprung from the top of her wrist and, as it formed, she plunged it into the part of the helmet she had been shooting into.

She herself flung through the air at the power armor that was down, then stomped into their helmet before bouncing upwards, then slammed down, pinning them in a crushing thigh headlock. She turned on her photonic array to create brass-knuckles on her fists. She began pounding at their helmet with the now-spiked knuckles of her suit.

I just use them as a supplemental weapon to target the regions of the enemy armor that have already been targeted.
