Farcry11

Gonna agree with some of the previous posts. For quite some time I've been of the opinion that officers should be given a low-caliber, standard issue ballistic sidearm. Why? Consider the mentality of your usual dipshit lawbreaker: "I can get away with broken-bottling this sec officer in the chest! Worst case scenario, I get tasered, maybe stunbatoned. I can bounce back from the pretty quick, so why not?" Now, replace the taser with a gun. With bullets. And shrapnel. When your chucklefucking could possibly put you in to crit or even get you killed rather than tased and brigged, you'll be singing a different tune both ICly and OOCly. Couple this with IRL police Rules of Engagement, and you have an effective system here. What if the guns get abused by turrible shitsec? The shitsec will get banned. Problem solved.

ALL IMMIGRANTS REQUIRE A VALID PASSPORT ENTRY IS NOT GUARANTEED But yes, I wholeheartedly agree with this. Bored, ambivalent customs officer character incoming.

I'd be more than willing to take a crack at this, though sorry if I'm a little late. Also, a dwarfing would be appreciated. Farcry, preferably make and preferably a member of the army/militia, but I'll take anything.

This is kinda like that movie thread I posted, except this one is for specific people. Like before, this exists purely to add extra fluff to the universe, and maybe provide some conversation points. Write down the name/race/gender of the celeb and give some info on them. Here goes: Ripp Rayson, Male Human Ripp is the reigning heavyweight champion of the IGBL (InterGalactic Boxing League) Human Division, and hails from Earth. He's something of an abrasive figure, often appearing in the news for engaging in fistfights in public, and is known to be quite arrogant, having referred to himself as "the double greatest" in the past. Most famous for beating Uneth boxer Jabari Nkechi in only five punches. Alina Hadil, Female Tajaran Alina is a celebrated painter and musician from Ahdomai. She almost singlehandedly began the renaissance of Tajaran art, and many of her soul-wrenching works relate to the species' long period of enslavement. She has received intergalactic acclaim for her cultural efforts. That's all I got for now. Post MOAR

I personally think it's a low-grade hunk of junk. Fatalities are high, a high number of crewmen (some of my characters included) are incompetent, unprofessional, or too busy snogging each other to do work, and there's few shifts where blood doesn't deck at least one hallway completely. Very little real research is done, and the bar is perhaps the most frequented area on the station. So yeah, low grade for sure. At times, I almost think we should spin it as a civilian/residential station instead.

I thought tooth brushing had nothing to do with braces. Like, I did kind of a shit job brushing my teeth when I was little, but my teeth grew together perfectly and I won't ever need braces. Oh, and I also have 20/20 vision. Get wrecked. As in, Braces, Duck's IPC. Be more specific next time dammit

Leonin Smythe... ... Was once married, and had two children. ... Lost both his arms and eyes in one of the Unathi contact wars. ... Lives in a very well furnished apartment in a very bad neighborhood of Lowell City, because he likes to wander the streets at night and practice CQC on muggers. ... Has a strong hatred for EMPs ... Has a strong hatred for Uneth ... Every Friday, after his Aurora shift, he goes to an NT-run "Daycare for Disadvantaged Children" in the Lowell Slums and reads storybooks to the kids. ... Was perma-killed in a katana duel aboard the Aurora (because he's my only snowflake character), but was later cloned and pushed back in to active service (because he's one of my best characters)

I approve of this wholeheartedly, space cowboy. Also... Leonin Smythe's theme: Marco Coelho's theme:

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH SHIT, SON!!! NEB'S BACK IN THE HIZZOUSE! GET THE FUCK OVER HERE EVERYBODY

And no, I don't mean people that roll tator a lot. I mean characters that, through their actions and personalities, have become the "bad guys" of the Aurora's collective storyline. Characters that reject the usual white-knight, likeable character build and instead choose to advance the story through negative actions. You can choose more than one characters, and explanations for your choices are appreciated. TL;DR: who are the main bad guys onboard and why? My first choice is the one, the only, Dicklizard (or Isilithai Uaekis, for the precise among us.) First thing's first, the character design- cold grey skin, rows of teeth, horns, and a possibly more-than-a-foot-long tongue , he simply looks evil. Secondly, the whole character fits, at least externally, in to a bad guy archetype- a highly trained, lethal warrior from a (subjectively) barbaric society. Horrifically violent, inhuman, and with seemingly little to no regard for human ethics or morals, Uaekis is one of the more dangerous and "evil" figures onboard. Every time I interact with him, it always feels a little dangerous- a somewhat refreshing experience. Big props to Covert. Secondly, in a shameless act of self promotion, Leonin Smythe. When I first designed him about a year ago, it was at a time where Aurora was lacking mean, antagonistic characters. He was in fact created as a "bizarro" version of one of the more prominent characters onboard, Selvion Renworth. The cybernetic implants, mechanical eyes, and harsh military training were, I felt, better used in an antagonistic fashion, and I decided to bring back the character from perma death purgatory to keep the ball of dickishness rolling. Smythe is generally cold and dismissive, and when he's not, he's more than likely screaming venomous insults in to his headset at some poor incompetent that failed to follow orders (usually while a hostage situation devolves and the singularity breaks loose). Even when it may seem like he's being genuinely kind, it's usually to be manipulative and serve his own interests, or the interests of NanoTrasen. (But really I'unno what you guys think of him.) And finally, one of the newer antagonists I've seen onboard is Hivefleet's Malcolm O'Connor, aka the cargo-tech bastard son of the aforementioned Selvion Renworth. From what I've seen of him, he's shaping up to be a bitter, dangerous person, due in part to his dissolution after news of his father's death, as well as extended contact with both Uaekis and Smythe. I could definitely see him being one of the bigger bad guys on the station soon enough. Other candidates for "station bad guy" I think would be good are: Vittorio (even though sometimes he seems more bumbling than evil) Houssam Jawdat (even though being a mafioso doesn't necessarily make one evil) And that one really, really racist engineer who's name I forget. Also all the Russian characters because how could they not be the bad guys, right?

I remember when Pete Thrustwood was a mild-mannered librarian with no accent and both eyes. I remember when HoS Nikolai was the closest thing to Dicklizard. I remember how, the first time I ever played this game, I walked in to a vented hallway, didn't see that I was suffocating, and died.

Honestly don't know why Uneth are even allowed to be Heads of Security. You'd think the aforementioned racism, coupled with the administrative/representative/security issues caused by the average Uneth's prickly, conflict-mongering personality, would keep them out of the role that essentially represents NTs security forces in a given installment. Probably an unpopular opinion, but just pitching in.

Climb on to the nearest dune and look around.

WOO!

YOU DISGUSTING PERVERT

All according to plan...

AT LEAST HEATH LEDGER ISN'T HORRIBLY TERRIFYING, NURSIE.

On Old Apollo, I had a Taj janitor that was captured by security. I managed to break out multiple times, and on my last attempt, I killed a security officer, grabbed the HoS and used him (fatally) to block the Captain's laser shots, killed the cap with the HoS' telebaton, and then used the HoS' and Captain's laser guns to kill the rest of security, and escaped in to maint for the rest of the round. Nowadays, people would call it shit RP. But it's their fault for not being robust.

Tear in to Leonin Smythe. Go go go. P.S: Senri is still the hottest man on the station. Always and forever.

Yes they are. You know they are. It's just a hard pill for anyone to swallow. But it's okay. We're all here for you.

"Idea is shit because my immersion." Loosen up. Last I checked, we were all playing this game to have fun, not simulate sooperserious ultra-dark spacemans. The silliness of the game is what hooks a lot of people, including me. That's because silliness is fun. If you can't handle silliness, well, yknow, you've kind of got a massive stick up your ass and are making things a drag for people around you. As for the item: I think more traitor-item alternatives are good, and this idea seems pretty hilarious. Would make for some pretty goofy RP. +1

I just have one thing to say about those kitty cats: I'm gonna make a Humanity First character and American History X the fuck out of them. "BITE THE TABLE. BITE THE FUCKING TABLE." (But yeah, aside from that threat which I fully intend to carry out: they're pretty okay)

I support this wholeheartedly. Rev is a mockery of a game mode, but this could be really good.
