Great posting all, you did a lot this weekend! @Magnan and Fox, what do you want me to do with the forest fight scene? is Zaca'reb dead? Unless someone has other plans Isel will call his warriors away to continue his hunt for the Orb. Greywind will also vanish when he realized Magnalian is gone. Everyone can then regroup for the next battle.
Name: Corp. Steven Walken Age: Begin 30s Gender: Male Appearance: Around Corp. Steven Walken's flesh is a contraption of tubes, hoses and valves that act as a security measure to redirect incoming water away from his body. The suit is capable of dehumidifying air around it and instantly vaporize it into steam which is the primary energy source for the suit. Therefor, especially in area's with a high humidity, sometimes all you can see is a cloud of "smoke". If you would be able to see Corp. Steven Walken through the maze around his body; he has 4 legs, 4 arms, 2 heads and directly through the middle, a piece of wall. Personality: Often extremely careful and protective of himself, anxious and in fight or flight situations puts his survival above others. He has a scientific and logical mind. History: During a space exploration journey towards the moon the Corporal's space craft got hit by the Orbs radiation, effectively shifting Corp. Steven Walken out of his own reality. After the incident he continued onwards on his journey and unaware of what had truly happened made course back to earth. Back on this other earth the same space vessel was bound for landing, however on this earth Steven Walken was still a cadet trough lack of ambition and was stationed at base. When their physical forms started to come closer to each other an inexplicable force drew them closer and closer. When within 100 meters of each other they suddenly started to glide towards one another like magnets, the cadet, whom was always slacking on his physical trainings, couldn't hold his grip and was propelled towards the wall the Corporal was holding on to. The force of impact was tremendous and took down half the wall, Cadet Steven Walken instantly died. When the bodies of the alternating twins collided they where merged together, including a piece of the wall. Unfortunately one of the bodies being disfigured and not very alive Steven Walken's body started to adept to the death flesh by expelling water from his own body. After the expelling process was completed the discovery was made that any fluids the Corporal came in contact with was as sun to vampires. During his containment the Corperal managed to use the tubes and plates that where used on the dome imprisoning him to "conjure up" a protective suit protecting him from incoming fluids. After his escape he went underground to improve his armor. After the discovery was made by the public that the event of Corperal Steven Walken's fusion resulted in an open gate towards multiple different universes he set out to explore... Powers/Equipment: Weakness to Water, which, when harnessed, has the ability to be propelled outward at high velocity as an offensive mechanism and are used as an protective coat as a defensive mechanism. The hundreds of valves are needed to keep the pressures just right and need constant adjusting. 1 miscalculation and the protective body might explode and blow the corporal out of existence. Fortunately, he has just about enough arms to do just that. Also Corp. Steven Walken possess 360 degrees of vision. On a sidenote. Loving the Steven Wright quote.
Actually, The 'Corporal do you have any frags' in referring to you. sorry if that wasn't obvious, I'm still working on my ability to write in a military style with characters from that background, Drakes different because he was forced into the general role, and has already faced the harsh realities of war.
To me? I'm still catching up with the story. I read your post but it's been skipping a head a bit. It doesn't really align with my character though. Seeing how he escaped military custody and stuff, lived underground.. looks like a miscreant?
@Koopman: I think he's referencing my previous post (my character is also a Corporal). Will you be getting your first post in any time soon? Your character seems pretty interesting. @Magnan: Ah, okay then. I had thought he was talking to his side since you also labelled her "Corporal Rickett".
Yes yes, but I do not make it too hasty, so I'm taking my time to properly prepare, unfortunately I'm also putting a lot of time into my personal development and I've picked up a few new things I told me self I need to be doing and I'm still struggling a bit in the time management department but not to worry, I plan to have him/them make his/their appearance soon. Hmm, do you speak of a inanimate object that was once a person but merged with another form from a different dimension as a separate being or a combined entity, I wonder
Sorry for disappearing again. Long story short, life did not want me to post this week. Still, I apologize for not warning you all in advance. >___< I probably won't get a post up until the end of the week. Again, I can't apologize enough for falling behind so much. If any of you need to mention Padoc for any bizarre reason, just assume he's muttering to himself or ran away. I'll try to get something up later...
I have had some pretty bad computer problems, in which I had to reinstall my OS (this time i changed to Ubuntu. I feel a quick change back to the Windows I understand is in order) and had a family reunion, and, the now stereotypical problem, school. Needless to say, though, you all pretty much guessed that the troll wouldn't really do anything productive, or listen to the tiny little humans. Thanks for letting him ghost with the group. I'll get a post up of Tulbuk joining in the big 'ol fight. Give the Mountain a chance to have at it. Random Fact: Tulbuk has two personalities. The dim-witted humorously obtuse Tulbuk personality, and The Mountain, the stone-cold-killer with the mind of a wolf that only comes out when Tulbuk get's into a battle. I made it this way so Tulbuk would stupidly walk into bad situations, and the Mountain for maybe getting him out, if he can strong arm his way out.
Don't worry about late posting everyone, we're all pretty busy it seems. Welcome Koopman!! Glad to have you aboard! I've been real busy but I'll try to get something moving before the weekend.
Got a short post up. I can't wait to mess with Ekard's ignorance of technology once they get on the ship
If you want...Taliza could pick them all up (minus the troll) two at a time...fly em over the ghouls and drop them on the doorstep of the ship.
I think a nice 'ol sprint to getting the door open while having raves of pouring infected sounds quite cozy, though. Still, the idea could work really well. I think it could be interesting to have the Ghouls defeat Tulbuk (right after everyone is safe) and actually have him go Infected. A nice good Boss to fight later on, though I am quite attatched to the smelly thing.
I was planning on lowering the ramp. The Widow's ai Sandra is still in contact with Wilde, and she is implemented in all areas, including the shuttle.
Hey all, I'm a little overwhelmed with things outside of my computer screen. I'm not going to be able to get a post up for the other group this weekend, but keep on with the hive mind assault. I'll try to get things straightened out for next week.
I'm enjoying my plot twist I do hope I didn't miss any lore as to how the ghouls became created and totally messed that up But then again, these are advanced ghouls, I say they are created differently
I'll have a look at your post Koop, since the Ghouls are to appear in my novel The Gathering, I'm kind of testing them out. I'll see what your post says. Edit: That sounds like a Hivemind to me, your post is fine as he is currently on board the ship. He was created indeed to be a weapon by the Ascenders (Ancient Metallic/Robotic organisms). Whilst he can communicate directly through the ghouls he doesn't do it normally and instead relies on telepathic means. If you wish to involve the Hivemind Truth in your posts, in future pm me. Thanks.
