OOC thread...

So, Flash Bang,

1. You're an Alien Daredevil, is that right? If not, an Alien What/Alien Which?

2. As an alien, what do you look like?

3. Which planet are you from? Your options are:

--Mercury (rocky and hot)
--Venus (swampy and wet)
--Luna (Earth's moon, still in orbit where it used to be... its orbit around the sun is a bit unstable, though)
--Mars (desert)
--Asteroid belt
--Jupiter (gas giant with ancient floating cities)
--Saturn (details to be established during game play)
--Ouranos (once known to Earth as Uranus) (details to be established during game play)
--Neptune (wet and watery)
--Pluto (dark and icy)
--Planet X (details to be established during gameplay)

Flash is actually from Titan; the largest of Saturn’s many, many moons.

Titanics have a similar, bipedal appearance to humans, but are very different physiologically.
Their green, hairless skin and larger cranium (complete with antennae) quickly distinguish them from humanity; as do the second, smaller set of arms.   Their primary arms grow from the top of the torso, from the shoulders (like humans have); but a secondary set of arms grow below that.  While not as functional as the primary set, neither are these arms vestigal; serving more of a utility function.   Used in body expression, and holding items, for example.
Titanics evolved from the ubiquitous insectoid life forms that proliferate Titan; filling many of the niches that mammals held on Terran earth.


This Alien is definitely a Daredevil at heart.    Flash was a famous, and very popular, athlete on Titan, having competed in, and mastered, many of the Tatanic sports.
He’s generally a friendly (and sometimes ‘goofy’) guy, who takes ‘having fun’ quite seriously.

‘Flash Bang’, of course, is not his native name ... but it is, in the human tongue, a good enough similarity.  And it is often joked that it resembles his athletic and thrill seeking nature: they way he can, and often does, explode into action (like the traditional flash bang grenades used by many military cultures across the solar system).
           ... and, OOC, pays homage to ‘Flash Gordon’: that 50’s icon of the Atompunk genre). 

Okay so:

Distribute these scores:

-1, 0, +1, +1, +2

Forceful:
Agile:
Insightful:
Confident:
Charming:

Forceful: For punching and taking punches etc

Agile: For dodging and aiming

Insightful: For figuring stuff out and noticing stuff and science stuff

Charming: for negotiating, or persuading, or for charming others

Confident: For doing mystical or psychic stuff-- or RESISTING same-- or anything else not covered by the other four stats

‘Flash Bang’
     - DP Uniform in tones of Lightning Blue across Gunmetal Gray

Forceful: +3
Agile: +2
Insightful: +0
Confident: +1
Charming: +0
          18* (+3), 16* (+2), 13 (+1), 10 (0), 9* (0)
               * altered for Alien Origin

Damage die: d6
Starting HP: 20

ALIEN ORIGIN:
— Your alien physiology and training make you superior to the average human. Raise two of your stats by 2 points. Raise one more of your stats by one point.
— I'm Weird: Work with the GM to come up with one awesome move you can do because you're an alien. (But after you use it, the GM gets to escalate things if he wants!)

[+] [+]  Alien Training
[+] [+]  Alien Physiology
[+] Secrets of My Homeworld
[+] Alien Allies: (But if it's awesome, the GM gets to escalate things if he wants!)

DAREDEVIL:
— Danger Is My Middle Name: You perform even better when in danger gets high. When you have less than 6 HP, you roll 3d6, and drop the lowest die.
— Acrobatic Dodge: Reduce a hit you just took (round down-- 5 becomes 2), and redirect the attack to do the amount of damage you would have taken to a nearby threat. (But the GM gets to escalate things afterwards if he wants!)

[+]  Fire/Heat-Resistant Uniform
[+]  Smoke Bombs
[+]  Magna-Grapple Line
[+]  Flash-Bangs grenades!

DANGER PATROL Equipment:
[+]  Rocketpack
[+] Raygun


GM, could you please open up character sheets for us?

1. Yes.

2. I'd forgotten that we need to work with the "Alien Origin" part.

That move is NOT how I planned "raise two of your stats by 2 points" to work.

How it should've worked is this:

Distribute these scores:

16 (+2), 14 (+1), 13 (+1), 10 (0), 8 (-1)

And since you're an alien, raise two of these:

16, 14, 13, 10, 8

by 2 points, and one by 1 point.

The modifier chart is:
18: +3
16-17: +2
13-15: +1
9-12: 0
8 and under: -1


Forceful:
Agile:
Insightful:
Confident:
Charming:


Sorry, but I'd forgotten that I shouldn't've just skipped the basic numbers for an Alien character.

I did actually think that looked wrong, and that you’d offer a correction once you saw my build.
I’ve reworked the above (feel free to go take a lookski).

And I shall form the head!

I'm tots being a robot :)

Awesome.
... When Robots Attack

(inspired by Cogster’s creations?)

UGH. I meant 11 to be 10. I edited and changed it as soon as I noticed, but you'd already grabbed the 11...

One more try should do it...

---

Robot, what'll your other half be?


--Agent: The ultimate super-spy. Good at recon, stealth, deception, and manipulation.

--Commando: The Soldier. Good at tactics and shooting.

--Detective: Strong-willed, insightful master of forensics, investigation, the criminal underworld and reading people.

--Explorer: Experienced traveler of the solar system. Expert in all things alien, especially animals, monsters, and strange ruins.

--Flyboy: Male or female—an expert pilot, driver, and astronaut.

--Professor: Master of all the sciences and a whiz with technology.

--Warrior: The hand-to-hand combat and melee weapons expert.

Agent, let's Stealth it up.

Also, kinda based on never being a bot, and HK 47

Robot
--Detachable Flying Head: Send your head off to do something while your body does something else. Your heady and body can perform two different actions at the same time. If you get any special bonuses, you must choose which move to add it to... before you roll.
--Internal Repair Systems: This allows you to add 1d4 HP back-- even if you've been knocked unconscious. (But the GM gets to escalate things afterwards if he wants!)
--Robotic Strength: Something useful happens because of your Robotic Strength: [+] [+]
--Precision Sensors: Something useful happens because of your Precision Sensors: [+] [+]
--Energy Transfer: You move energy around in a useful way... [+]
--Electro-Net Interface: Something useful happens because of your ability to interface with the solar system's Electro-Net (internet)... [+]

Agent
--Infiltrator: As long as you are in disguise, using a cover identity, or are being stealthy, you can add +1 to any roll. The GM can threaten your cover or stealth by introducing threats like “Suddenly, they see through your disguise!” or “Suddenly, you're caught in the act!”
--Covert Ops: All of your gear is concealable and silent.
--Primary Target: Coordinate your allies against a threat. Until the threat is defeated, you and your allies do +1 hit against that threat. (Use on only 1 threat at a time). (But when you start using this, the GM gets to escalate things afterwards if he wants!)
--Micro Gadgets: Something useful happens because you have Micro Gadgets. [+]
--Disguise Kit: Something cool happens because you have a Disguise Kit. [+]
--Hologram Projector: Something useful happens because you have a Hologram Projector. [+]
--Spy Drone: Something useful happens because you have a Spy Drone. [+]
--Rocketpack, Wrist Communicator, Goggles & Gas Mask, Utility Belt & Med Kit: Something useful happens because you use one of these! [+]
--WEAPON: Raygun, Electro-Blaster, or Turbo-Rifle: Something extra-useful happens because you have one of these! [+]


STEP THREE:

You are a Robot Agent!

Give yourself a cool and/or awesome name!


STEP FOUR:

As a member of the Danger Patrol, you wear a two-tone uniform: Name your two colors!

Damage die: d6

Starting HP: 20

Next update done: how does that look?


The Alien Thrillseeker and the Robot Spy!
I love it.

Okay, good, that's nailed down.

Now for this:





So... what sort of thing would you like?

Covert Infiltration Droid 3000
Or CID (said like Sid) 3000

Navy blue and Black.

Understood... Name and bio lines updated...

Flash Wears the iconic Danger Patrol Uniform in tones of
Lightning Blue across Gunmetal Gray

Heh.   We’ll make a good team.

I plan on playing Flash in a very flashy way.
While all eyes will likely be on him, it’ll make stealth easy for CID.

Character sheet for CID updated...

Flash’s cinematic theme song: Save the day
     - take your pick


“So here I come to save the day, a regular Joe now on parade
They say, it's the only way, but they, they only want it when it's there
So here I come to save the day, the future's here and the past is yesterday”
     - ‘Save the Day’ by The Living End
     - https://youtu.be/V4B5sBxTLpo


“I pull up and save the day
Don't want any problems, I'll be a call away
I'm ready for action, fly without a cape
I'm one of those ones, they'll never beat me, they'll never beat me”
     - ‘Save the Day’ by Jacquees and Ski Mask the Slump God
     - https://youtu.be/nFz325BTsCc

I suspect you missed me asking this up above...?
