Robot Rapture (sign up) - A Halcyon Power Game

[/)eathKiller]

Based on the old system of Halcyon Assasin, this game will take it to a new level by adding on a new class: Planetary Survivor. basically, the purpose of this game will be to roleplay differint groups of characters. The first group is a selected group of Assasins, Warriors, Mercenaries, and Scientists from the Hundred Earths to investigate the strang goings on of a planet in another dimension. You see, what ended up happening on the planet (known as Sigma 5) a few hours ago, all radio chatter went dead. That's a very hard thing to happen on a fully civilized planet, it is belived that they have either discovered an alternative power source or a planetary catastophe has occured. As you may know, the multiple Hundred earth governments wouldnt allow for such an innovation or violent act to go unnoticed, though they tend to keep such things out of the public eye, they are going to hire those that they can to find out what's going on.

You will basically choose one of two roles: Investigator or Survivor.

As a survivor you will have previouse knowledge of the wrold around you and you will be able to role play this knowledge, but self-defense will be something you will have to build on.

As an investigator, you will be armed to the teeth, a walking timebomb of post-nanonuclear war ready to take on the universe and its many trials with an assortment of weaponry and the ability to summon more weaponry and instrunments through dimensional portals, this world, however, will be completley foreign, and your oponents are highly adaptive, acting as a single consiousnes... you'll find out mroe about them when you start playing

Heres what I need:

A General Appearance:
Eyes, Haircolor, Clothing you Wear

Then a Series of Equiptment:
you can start with basically any gun your imagination is capable of forging.

Remember, your character must be futuristic, but hold a central theme, like Sword fighting, or beam weaponry, IF you play an investigator

The Three energy types your weapons can run off of are: SOul CELLs (red) Fusion (blue) and Photon (Green) Each energy type has its strenchtes and weaknesses against eachother so its perfectly ballanced.

if you Play a survivor, you will basically just give me a description of your character, and you'll have to behave like someone who'se just lived through a catastrophe [img]tongue.gif[/img]

So Lets start seeing your characters!

-----------------------------

Here's an example of one:

Name: Masakari Kai
HairColor: Grey
eye Color: One Green, One Blue
Skin: Pale
Race: Aasimar Cuisader
Body Armor: Medium-Heavy Grade Cybot G Nandanadanadanadorio Manufactured
equiptment: Left Occular Implant, Bio-NanoTech Tentacles, Repulsor Arm-Cybernetic Implants. Soul Cell Implants up and down the right side of his body. Portal-Opening AI computer (built into his temporal cortex) and a 2-War Rotary Cannon One barrel fires Photonic Pulses the other fires Fusion Repulses. His only other weapon is a summonable series of sphericle rocket launchers which can form themselves in any matter and fire their powerfull ammounts of hyper-velocity-rocket-propelled explosive shelles upon comand from Kai's temporal Implant.

Kai is a lone hunter kind of guy, He used to work for the Hundred Earths Militia but after he killed everyone on the planet his regiment was on he became a bounty hunter, holding a personal grudge against the man who took his right eye away from him. He has killed the one called "Shinokorosha" 700,000 times and swears to continue to do so until he can no longer move, or the stars no longer shine in the sky (whichever comes first).

Name: Robert Warwick
HairColor: Black
eye Color: Brown
Skin: Slightly tanned
Race: Human
Body Armor: None.

Robert is a down to earth kinda guy, he spends most of his time at his job at Best Buy as a shelfer. He has dark spiky blach hair and has a goatee. He recently shaved his sideburns. He's not fat, or skinny, he's not the most in shape guy, but he's okay at sports and other atheletics. He isn't much of a fighter, but is more of a technical support kinda guy. He's great with computers and if you make him made you'll meet the sharp edge of his scimitar.

It was a normal day for Robert as he sat up in his bed and stretched his arms out. He looked at the 25 hour clock on his wall and got out of bed, slipping on a pair of suave shoes and putting on his blue and yellow best-buy colors he proceeded out of his door after quickly brushing his hair. Walking down the catwalk to the elevator he noticed the windows were iced over... that was peculear... it was a very warm day yesterday, it must have been an incredibly cold night last night resulting in a snow storm. As Robert neared the elevator he paused... An eerie silence was present, it had been present since he had awoken... He kind of wished that he could go back and check the television for any weather reports, but knew that would probably make him late for work and he didnt want to have 2 strikes under his belt in case of a real emergency. Getting into the elevator robert also felt odd... it was already on his floor... Did that mean that no one had ued it to go down? and if so... how come nobody came up? Strange indeed... He pressed the button to go down, he was on the 91st floor of the high-rise superscraper. not very high but not too low either. A perfect place for a fellow to live. As the elevator descended it left the gantry tube along the side of the building which protected it from high pressures and the rain, and he saw the windows, which normally gave him a wonderouse view of the city, were fogged over. Rober tried to wipe his hand across the surface to see the city, but to his dismay, the fog was on the soutside of the building... Suddenly the elevator stopped around the 30th floor. Rober looked about, wondering what was going on. The door behind him wasn't opening... It was as though it just stopped... Suddenly a dark shadow loomed over the opaque glass... Mechanical sounds eminated as the shadow bounced up and down, slowly inching its away across the glass, like some bizare climbing platform, it emmited what sounded like modem pulses and then he heard something clamp on the top of the elevator, this fear drove him to lay down in the corner in fear. This was totally unusaul... After a few more mechanical sounds the shadow had passed by the elevator's glass windows and banged a few tgimes on the roof before completley dissapearing from earshot... Then Robert nearly had a heart attack as he felt the elevator shake, but it only shook because it was startint go continue its path downt to the ground floor...

"Maintenance teams" he started to think "it had to be maintenance... that's it! They must be wanting to see what's wrong with the weather controlls and why the windows are all opaque.. yeah... that's it..."

Nearing the bottom floor, Robert stepped out of the lift. He looked around the usually crowded bottom floor of the megaplex, and suprisingly found the ground lobby completley empty... This dead silience sent shivers down robert's spine, as he crept toward the double doors, which were also iced over. He walked, trying to keep as quiet as the room, finding it imposible to do this after a while he just decided to tip-toe to the door. He placed his hand in front of the motion detector, and the door slid open... the outside park infront of him, usually teeming with children and business men who came to make deals and hold outdoor meetings, was barren of life... Only the trees sat there, and swayed in the wind... Robert stepped out into the street... suddenly his ears began to pick up something... a wail like sound... it was continuouse without end... he suddenly noticed an electronics store which was build into the side of the building, he remembered how whenever he left and turned to the right of his building he'd pass by the many television monitors which displayed anchormen and women. As he walked by the store this time... It was dark... Too dark... The monitors weren't on... and he suddenly felt like he was being watched... The noise was emminating from deep within the electronics store. As robert squinted to try and see in side, his eye caught some movement... It was jerky... abnormal... almost... electronic... and it was soon out of sight... This movement made robert take a step back... and he felt the desire to ghasp... but then another shockwave ran through his body... this time he felt like he was being watched from everywhre... that thousands of eyes were looking at him, creeping about in the shadows, silent, and he wasnt about to let them know anything else... His voice fell silent, as well as his ghasp... he stood there for only another 2 seconds, before bolting to work. He ran as fast as his legs could carry him, through the city square, around another block, to a remote patch of forest with a familiar brown building with a blue roof and a great big golden sign. He knew that the people HAD to be there... after all, it was a popular store! It was crowded! It was plentifull! As he neared he stopped dead in his tracks, too afraid to even pant now, standing in a barren parking lot, he saw the windows of his workplace iced over too... Nervously he walked up to the door, he pressed the key into the lock, but as he did this the door slowly slid open on its own, taking a deep breath he walked into the store... The lights were off inside... So were all of the huge televisios and the electronics equiprment... It only felt like this at closing hours... and it was almost noon... Their busiest time of the day... Robert felt as if he'd been transported in time to late at night, and that something was wrong with the tilt of the earth, making the sun stay in the sky... everything was out of place... and yet, everything in the store was perfectlyu in place... sure all the feelings running through Robert now were bad, but there was a far worse feeling overtaking him now... He could hear the sound he'd heard on the elevator... the exact same sound... and it was comming from inside the store...

[SomeGuy]

"Th-Th-This... This has to be a nightmare..." Robert said cautiously walking inside the empty,barren store. He was silent, he didn't even breathe, trying to make himself as quiet as possible as he took soft steps inside, searching for the source of the noise. "I know I'm going regret doing this..." thought Robert to himself as stopped and took a look around for anything he could use a possible weapon just in case...

A Gibson E-B Zero gleamed as if it was calling to Robert... With little hesitation he took the double-strug guitar into his arms and looked at it cautiously...

It was as if some unnatural force had told him to pick the guitar up... At that very instant the sound of crashing boxes rumbled off in the electronics and software department, XBox games rained from the sky along with some PS2 and PC game boxes as a large silvery object seemed to leap like some sort of wild animal from behind the shelves, it seemed to be moving and vibrating so quickly, robert couldn't actually even make the thing out, all he knew is that the odd sound he heard was comming from it... and it was very loud now... It scurried about behind some shelves laden with palm pilot software, it nudged against the shelf and pushed a few things aside, then, making an odd digital-sounding breathing noise, it knocked over the shelf, and in a blur, leapt straight at Robert...

[SomeGuy]

"You will be avenged Neverwinter Nights!!!" screamed Robert as he lept past a destroyed Neverwinter Nights box. He lifted up the guitar as hard as he could, with all his strength, and brought it down upon the robot, hoping to vanquish it from his store.

[/)eathKiller]

Just as the guitar came down onto the faceless steel bulk's body a loud echo resounded about the best buy causing nearby jewled cases to shatter fromt he shockwave of the guitar's "BONG!!!" All at once the power came back on, the lights lit up, the termperature systems kicked in at full power, and the large wall of TVs lip up, Everything in a flash seemed normal again... but there was something out of place... something not normal... Robert turned from looking at the squashed bug-like mecha, which was now leaking a black fluid on the ground, with a cloud of steam rising from cracks in its once-smoothe hull...The machine didn't look like anything made by human hands... It didnt have any optical circuitry... it must've only been able to hear him... Or whatever... "Maybe it's a new security system" robert thought... But these thoughts deminished as he saw the TV screens showing the same still image.. it was CNN... The cameras were rolling, showing the Desk where the anchor's usually sit... but no one was there... all the blurry lights int he back drop were still... No living thing was in the image... but this wasnt what was really disturbing robert... what had really caught his eye was the line that the ticker had stopped on... "Estimated 10 billion missing or dead..." And the left of the screen showed the threat level had gone above red to some stage he'd never even heard of called DEFCON NEGATIVE ONE, the empty chairs seemed to mock him... "tell me more" he wanted to ask "Am I dreaming?" as he stood alone in the world he was in... Unfulfilled... He took up his guitar...

"Not even a scratch..."

And he turned to leave the store... Suddenly he froze, and looked at the parking lot... Standing right in the center of the lot, observing with his arms crossed, with gleaming silvery hair and a bizare eyepeice... was a man... who didn't look like any kind of man he'd ever seen before...

[SomeGuy]

Robert's jaw slightly dropped at the sign of a possible living person, or maybe it was another robot... He didn't know what to do, but he was desperate. He quickly walked out of the store slowly, the guitar still in his hands. "H-H-Hello... Hello!" he shouted nervously to the man.

The man answered to his by reaching behind him, pulling out a very gawdy-looking weapon with feathers dangling from the gun's barrel, in less than a second he slid a cylindracle object through it which made a buzzing sound and then fired itself out the other end, where it then landed ont he ground and detonated in a small mushroom cloud which left a crater in the pavement, mere miliseconds after this ammunition clip ejected the man began firing his weapon wildly, it sounded so loud that robert had to cover his ears, he also reacted by bending his knees and getting low to the ground in fear that he was being fired at, but as he looked he saw the man's aim was much higher, as if he was targeting the best buy sign itself... Suddenly Mechanical objects, smoothe, like the one Robert had just put a fatal dent in, began to rain all around him with their hulls steaming and bullet riddled, This strange man then aimed his weapon into the air and fired some more, amazingly more metalic objects began to fall all over the parking lot in a similar bullet-riddled condition. Robert's jaw was now open in shock as what was once and empty parking lot now had a bullet-filled hull gently resting in nearly every parking space... For an instant it looked like it was a crowded normal day agan, but the man standing there alone broke the normalcy, it didnt even take the piles of unusual and now very dead machines to tell this...

"Who are you?" An odly synthesized voice echoed from the man, his lips werent moving and yet he was talking...

[SomeGuy]

Robert was almost speachless, barely able to regain himself and speak. "I.. I.. M-My name is Robert... Robert Warwick..." he said still staring at the destroyed machines laying around him. "Um.. wh-who are you?"
