Character:

Name: Atesehn

Race: Chimerian

Age: 98 (A young adult in Chimerian strandards).

Appearance: Tall, hunched, fanged, 6 glowing red eyes, mechanicaly lengthened legs, long and clawed arms, pale-grey/sandy hide.



Equipment: Super heavy Servo harness (Basically termie armor) Full titanium alloy plate with outer layer of mass reactive armor.

Weapons: heavy chem gun (Fires shells that can punch through light aircraft, vehicles and people.)



History: Atesehn is one of the few remaining chimerians, a race who specialise in genetic modification and cybernetic implants, thus making most chimerians unrecognisable as being such.
Atesehn, has been modified so that he has largely mechanical legs, meaning he can leap great distances. He also has 6 glowing red eyes, meaning he has nearly perfect vision and can see in all directions. Like most of his specie, Atesehn is bipedual,has two, long, clawed arms and has a large fanged maw.

Personality: Atesehn, like many others of his race, is dark and agressive in temperment, and is prone to fits of bloodthirsty rage. He is, however, more cooprotive than many other chimerians. He spends a large amount of his time looking for rare tech and powerful weaponry. He believes in the Chimerian God, Atheg'hens'ehn, who is the God of war and hatred.

But he does have a thing against humans.

Could you make a race sheet for the Chimerans?

CHIMERIANS:

General personalities: Strong, Dark, brooding, independant, manical.

History: Species history full of war. The wars are what greatly reduced their numbers. Liberal usage of biomodification and implants caused competition between chimerians. More casualties insued. Upon first contact with an alien race, the chimerians declared war and enslaved the alien population.

Translation status: Failed.

First Contact: Human outer-rim planet attacked by chimerians. 354 human survivors. 7,000,000 human deaths.

conflict started: 2398

Conflict ended: Ongoing

Race specialities: Medical, technoligical.

Like that?

That's good, a little more on history would be nice. Also, your chimeran might have to be a turncoat.

Just wondering, but why a turncoat?

As i was thinking of having it as you and other players working as an investigative force for the UN, of course i can chop and change. Also, if you could see if you can recruit i would be grateful.

Ah cool, just checking RECRUIT I SHALL.

I will join later...you just make up a alien race thats all?

Or you can take an already made one.

He excelled at any and all forms of fighting he was trained in and was under the attention of the Magistrate untill it was noticed that he had developed Lung Cancer at the age of 14, it spread quickly and it wasn't long before most of his lungs were doomed, he was given the choice of either living maybe two years or get his lungs surgically removed and replaced with a bionic respiratory system.
He didn't really see any choice in it...
After his brief encounter with how frail his body could be he decided to be the best a human could be, training untill his 17th birthday were he joined the Military forces of mars.

So your the heavy, remember that the heavier the armor the slower you move and the bigger target you are.

The glass ninja wrote:So your the heavy, remember that the heavier the armor the slower you move and the bigger target you are.

Fine with me

By e way how does health come into this. I mean, I want to know if stuff like food converters and health kits are going to be NEEDED or you die without them or what?

Your characters can die, and in a life or death situation i will use dice to chose. The health packs help you heal wound's you take, because any wound your character takes in an event or in one of your post's adds up to make combat more and more dangerous. Eventually they will simply die. The food is there to maintain your characters energy levels and combat effectiveness.

K. Can you respawn later (with a different character)?

Yes
