The year is 356 After the war era...

[The ad begins. It shows a glowing city of collosal statuary, massive domes glowing like lighted diamonds, Giant scyscrapers covered in lights and gardens.] Welcome to Metropolis. City of one billion people, the world's largest city. [The scene changes to an idealic scene of well dressed and beautiful people walking in a park lined street.] Here life is good. Here civilization thrives. [More scenes of an idealic city life.] Won't you join us?



"All that is a lie. After the great war the earth lay in ruins. The global corporations, the ones who started the war made their bid for power and divided the globe amonst themselves. The corporate city states that emerged imposed an oppressive regime. Metropolis for a time was an exception.

Built on the ruins of a once great city that now lays forgotten entombed under the current infra structure of the city. Metropolis is run by three corporations, The triumvirate. While on the surface metropolis appears as idealic as the commercials make it appear but only 10% of the population of metropolis still lives in the sun. The rest live in the undercity.

Burried under tons of supports, factories, and amonst the ruins of the old city lives the rest of the population. Forced into a slave like existance. Until recently the triumvirate relied on it's labor cespool in the radioactive ruins, now they are relying more on robotic labor. Gang crime is spikeing, and labor strikes. So the triumvirate has sent the brutal police force to keep order. The undercity is a bomb waiting to go off. I should know. I have forseen it."

The hooded blind mutant wanders down another alley ranting about ones who would be more than mere mutations.
______________

In the last few weeks all hell has broken out in metropolis. The Mcdonald - Phoenix corporation has begun a Coup d'Etat. The first Victim of the Coup was a mutant named Scott Oli. Since then His friends and family have been marked for death by the MCP, for resisting. However the undercity will not go into slavery without a fight

Can we be robots/cyborgs too?

Squishy Cheeks
03-26-2004, 04:20 PM
to an approved degree. I hold the right to line item veto. The story reason against it is that you guys live in the slums, so no full robotics. Robots are very tightly regimented with one exception and he is a very special case. The Cyborgs however are allowed, but they are just people with robot parts grafted on e.g. Barret from ff7

How bout a cyborg with the ability to copy voice, fingerprints, and retina's as long as he scans them? Whoo, and an arm that can hold extra ammo, and pops out like a Pez dispenser, can I, can I, can I, can I, can I, can I, can I, can I, can I, can I, pweez?

Squishy Cheeks
03-26-2004, 04:27 PM
no, the voice thing sure, but the other copies would have to be made the old fashioned way. But the pez arm is allowed.

BMHadoken
03-26-2004, 04:30 PM
Ok, voice, arm and...how about the Terminator eye thingy, where he can computer calculate where to shoot and distances and that shizit?

Squishy Cheeks
03-26-2004, 04:32 PM
um no, You can get goggles that do that. but no cyborg eyes, except to replace real ones, and they'd only give you night vision and perfect vision.

BMHadoken
03-26-2004, 04:35 PM
So your guy has Vulcan guns, missile launcher built into the torso, IR vision, UV vision, sonar, radar, Experimental cyberntic organism repair system, but my guy can't have terminator eyes?

Let us not forget his armor that repels almost everything.

Squishy Cheeks
03-26-2004, 04:41 PM
He's a special case. Also if it makes you feel better he's out of ammo too.

BMHadoken
03-26-2004, 04:42 PM
Would all my cyborg stuff go under special abilties or just equipment?

Squishy Cheeks
03-26-2004, 04:43 PM
equipment.

Well if you want your own, IHMN just follow this step by step instruction

step1: Find a robot
step 2: don't let it kill you
step 3: hook your mind up to it's system.
step 4: short circuit it and electrocute yourself
step 5: have someone restart the system.
step 6: enjoy your new robot body.

Name: Jude
Nickname: Giga
Age: Doesn't know, looks about mid thirties, early fourties.
Appearance: Tall and musuclar. Broad shoulders and big jawed. Wears a high tech eye patch over his right eye. Has a big brown trenchcoat.
Equipment: Two Uzis, a voice copier (needs to hear voice to copy it), his pez arm which can carry his extra ammo and anything else small he might need, his patch can see in various extra vision modes (IR, sonar, X-Ray, motion, etc.) . His coat has a bunch of pockets, and cloaks anything under it so he can sneak guns past security.
Special Ability: Can focus to create a controlled EMP field. He can make it widespread for lots of minor annoyances, or concentrate on a bigger foe. He is unaffected by the EMP. To concentrate the field, he needs to actually be touching his target for maximum effect.
Bio: Jude knows nothing about himself. One day he woke up and found himself looking out into a surgery room, with him on the table. He panicked and fought his way out of the building, managing to grab only the trenchcoat he wears now and a prototype vision enhancer. Once outside he found that his arm was branded with the word/name Giga. He figured out how his new body works, and is trying to find out who he really is, and what was done to him and why.
Extra: The EMP he creates is from his brain, and was there even before he lost his memory.

All the robot has to offer is armor, and I rather teleport like a maniac over some armor. Vulcan cannons/rockets are useless against something that isn't there.

tone down the emp, your guy would have to be the epicenter every time.

BMHadoken
03-26-2004, 05:50 PM
Its not a real EMP field, its more like he can direct it into a linear path. If he doesnt put muh control into it, it spreads out, but its always in one direction.

I might add that the Rogue is without gender. So I think the cons balance out the pros.

IHateMakingNames
03-26-2004, 06:10 PM
It's not really a con when you have no gender related desires.

Squishy Cheeks
03-26-2004, 06:11 PM
So your saying you don't like having the attachments that come with having a gender? Well you can always become a eunuch.

IHateMakingNames
03-26-2004, 06:13 PM
No, I'm saying that the fact that your guy is a eunuch is only considered a con to non-eunuchs, and not to himself.

Squishy Cheeks
03-26-2004, 06:14 PM
Yes, but he has the memories of a non eunuch.

IHateMakingNames
03-26-2004, 06:16 PM
He has the memories, but is missing the two important parts them make those memories mean anything. He's just like an animal now, except instead of not caring, he just doesn't all together.

Squishy Cheeks
03-26-2004, 06:19 PM
IHMN, well let's say you woke up and found you didn't have any kind of apparatus anymore. Wouldn't you be a bit upset.

IHateMakingNames
03-26-2004, 06:20 PM
At first, yes. But after a week of not having hormones, it wouldn't be much of a bother.

BMHadoken
03-26-2004, 06:22 PM

Well you would want to change the drain time to a minute. and the triumvirate to either Soil & Green, or Pathway E-Technologies inc.

Darth SS
03-26-2004, 08:25 PM
OOH! OOH! OOH!


Could my guy have designed an experimental portable rail-gun?

For drawbacks, it would need to be loaded manually, could only fire one shot, would be big and bulky, thus hard to aim.

And like 5 seconds between shots, but when it did shoot....you ain't standin' up again.
