You’re still thinking about what you saw between Rahne and Josh when class finishes. You know there’s another team exercise today, so you meet up with the rest of the team. It doesn’t take too much time for Rahne to show up after that, but she’s doing her best to avoid looking directly at you. “Alright, team. Today you’re going to be going up against another team, alright? This isn’t a simulation, so be careful.” Just as she’s about to continue, you hear another voice from outside the classroom, “Exactly, children,” Emma Frost says, as she enters the classroom. “Your mutant powers are gifts, but they are dangerous. Be careful, for your own safety, and the safety of each other.” The hellions begin entering the room, and Julian locks eyes with you, a cocky grin on his face.

Match raises his hand, “Alright, so, what’s the challenge? What are we doing?” You could swear you almost see Ms. Frost smile as she speaks, “It will be a combat challenge, one team pitted against the other, but with a twist. Sometimes when out in the field, one must cooperate with people they would otherwise be opposed to. So, the teams will be scrambled.” Rahne nods, looking down at a clipboard. “The first team will be lead by Match, and will include Tag, Preview, Wolf Cub, DJ, and Wither.” You look around at the other people gathered, that leaves your team with... “The second team will be lead by Hellion, and will include Pixie, Lighthouse, Mercury, Rockslide, Dust, and Trance.” Rahne looks up, and looks around the class room. “Alright, both teams will have a short amount of time to come up with a plan before we head to the Danger Room and actually commence the exercise. The goal is to incapacitate in some way the entirety of the enemy team.”

You approach your new team. Hellion looks around with a grin, “Alright, we gotta win this. Anybody have any ideas?”

> What do you do?
> Volunteer a Plan. (What?)
> Keep Quiet.
> Other.

>>43761685
Could we get a simple overview of their powers? I can't be arsed to google all the names I'm less familiar with.

>>43761791
Hellion has telekinesis.
Pixie has wings.
Mercury's body is made out of liquid mercury.
Rockslide's body is made out of rocks, and he can detach and reattach his body parts, along with super strength and shit.
Dust can turn herself into dust.
Trance has astral projection and can fly, and shoot blasts in her astral projection form.

Tried. I ran out of steam quick once I got past the initial burst of creativity that comes with a new idea. Plus I'm not very good with math, so that's a big ass hurdle to overcome if I want to take a crack at it again.

Yes.

If you've lost drive, nothing to lose by posting it all here for anonymous neckbeards to tear apart. You might have some stuff I think is cool, I've been working on a homebrew for about a year and it went from being a subsystem to tack on to date core sci-fi combat to a classess retroclone try hard.

Shit, forgot to title this one. It's Generically-titled Fire Emblem Quest Gen. 2 # 11.

Marrius, eponymous leader of the Marrius' Group mercenaries, heads Southwest alone, seeking an audience with one of the duchesses of Noba.

The rest of his company, followed by their clients, travels back East through the desert to Elza Oasis, having finished their job but left unable to warp home safely due to a need to recover. It is here that overall protagonist Lloyd, his lover Leigh, and the respected second in command of Marrius' Group, the witch Irene, are.

While Marrius' actions right now have no bearing over the actions of our usual heroes, they may have effects of their own.

That being said, they can be skipped without missing much.

>A. Show Marrius' travels to, arrival at, and actions in Noba. Maybe influence them..?
>B. You'll find out what there is to hear from that in due time. Stay with Lloyd.

Your servant spent some time holding you up and telling you her name was Sera more times than necessary, to which you responded by prodding her on the cheek, but otherwise the past half hour or so has been rather cooperative to lazing about.

That strikes you as strange, actually. These people have fled here to get away from a raid, and they haven’t made much distance. You did hear quite a bit of discussion between the trio of adult voices, and you think the uninjured guard left for a while, but it’s only now that they decided to get moving again; you can hear the older woman urging the children to get up.

Perhaps it’s time to be a little productive.

Completed Research: http://pastebin.com/PcRLqvLj Please forgive me QuestDrone for blatantly ripping off your ship builder system
>Sub-Capitol Ships: By extensively studying and tearing apart Osjiic and Dagger ships your Think Tanks can now create you own.

>Shields: A projected forcefield surrounding sub-capitol and larger ships protect them from incoming attacks. Shields are nearly always on, powering down when sustaining enough damage to overload or even destroy the projectors spread throughout the hulls. Ships can pass through the shields of friendly ships allowing Fighters and small craft to be launched safely from larger ships.

Your Coffin lands near the domes and buildings of bone and metal your Think Tanks had built to create and test your new ships and you spot the hull of a new Corvette classed ship awaiting your christening. Arrow shaped the ship is crafted from dense bone and deceptively strong metals forged piece by piece in the new massive construction Cauldrons dug into the surface of the moon. It lacked any weapons for the moment, little more than a hull with a Skip Drive, a power reactor and a pilot Think Tank merged into the structure of the bridge.

Stepping inside you are pleased with the aesthetics of the hallway, bone walls covered in runes of the Wormstar with necrotic crystals providing a dim light more for the benefit of any living crew it might hold. Placing your hand on the dormant reactor you ignite it with a surge of necrotic energy and the ship hums to life, lifting off the surface of the moon.

The pilot Think Tank contacts you, <This one is proud to serve. Hail Jadyk Lich-Lord!> it proclaims, the cheer echoing in your mind joined by the other Think Tanks and your Cauldron-born soldiers.

Can't post in the other thread anymore. But the guy who said why the Word Bearers got their shit kicked despite having years to prepare or w/e. I have no idea what you're talking about. He practically helps kill off half the Ultramarines while being outnumbered, and then "lost" because Kairos Fateweaver told him that Guilliman must survive Calth so he can create Imperium Secundus using up so many resources so Terra will not have enough resources to counter Horus' direct attack. This is literally the only reason Ultramarines had anything close to a "win" against them.

But, unless everything goes flawlessly, Azalie will have a slight head start on you at this rate.

“Alright...” You remark as you scour your mind for all information that will help you improve upon the complex design in front of you. “There’s something else, isn’t there?”

It’s entirely like Ali to build up to the most important piece of information, and you have a feeling that this case is not going to be any different.

A heavy silence of pure rumination comes over Ali before she continues, finally she pulls out a single wrinkled sheet of parchment. “After seeing that the ritual was complete, Vicki, in her desperation and incredible foolishness, attempted to steal The Empress’s personal notes.”

The personal notes that Azalie keeps close by at all times, meaning that you’d certainly have to risk death to even touch them.

You briefly look up from your work. “Then…”

Ali inhales and exhales deeply. “This single page outlines details about the final realm.” She holds out the piece of parchment to you.

You stare upon the face of the paper to see that it is indeed Azalie’s writing on it. The notes themselves seem to have all been jotted down at various times, and given the fading of the ink you can tell that years, if not decades separate the entries.

You key in on the important information.

>>43760046

>”Form will be maintained, but any attached powers will be impossible to call upon naturally.”

>”Only a single being can stably occupy a form, all secondary attached beings are removed upon crossing the threshold of the realm. This seems to include all types of enchantments or curses on inanimate objects as well.”

>”However, those true weapons surpass this fact, and should be located immediately. Although, other methods exist for removing that creature.”

>”Extremely potent blood seems to retain some of its effectiveness, and can be used as a catalyst to call upon fractions of any attached powers. Although, there are none remaining that I know of that have this blood."

>"The opening to the final realm is temporary. If one does not ascend beyond, or return in time, they will be lost forever within."

You sigh and rub your eyes. “So my powers…”

“Will be out of reach.” Ali completes your thoughts and stands. “But so will The Empress’s. There on, it will be like a fight between three human beings.”

“Three?” You ask skeptically.

Ali pulls out the ornate dagger and looks over it. “If her powers are removed, then it will be just like the old times for me.” She turns to you with focused eyes. “But we both know how capable she is, and we cannot fail now...”

[3/4]

>>43760079

“You don’t mean…” You cross your arms.

“That’s exactly what I mean.” She rests a hand on her chest. “I’ll follow behind after we finally do enter. If she’s already there, then you must do your utmost to distract her…and then I’ll make my move.”

“If you fail, then you’re dead.” You inform her frankly.

“That’s why you have to distract her the best you can.” Ali answers with a very faint hint of desperation in her voice. “There’s no other choice. My blood won’t work as a catalyst, and using your own blood would end up harming more than helping.”

At that moment, a very interesting thought flashed through your mind. You obviously can’t use your own blood to invoke your powers, but there exists another that holds the exact same blood as you.

Always an option, in case things go wrong…Or perhaps, a better plan from the start.

Ali stares at you suspiciously as you’ve been quiet for some time now.

You look back at her.

>"I'll do my best to distract her."

>"There is a better way..."

I just ask the GM for a few typical names and pick one of them.

>>43760015
Your GM has a list of typical names? Man, you're lucky. I've tried that, and I get funny looks and a "I don't fucking know, pick whatever you like."

Then again, our group is a piece of shit and half of our characters either have completely regular names (John, Bill, Anna, Bob) or terrible jokes or pop culture references. It's looped around to the point that people unironically go for stuff like Bilbo Potter because we're so used to it.

File: names.pdf (1B, 486x500px)

1B, 486x500px

Think of where your character comes from, then think of a name that would be typical for that civilization or nation.

Your character's name SHOULDN'T be descriptive of your character. In fact, that's where the McEdge of Mary Sue names come from, because they try to either be too descriptive or make them "special" (just like their characters are supposed to be)

This is why I prefer going for mundane names, either from real life or what'd sound like it'd be a common/fairly normal name in the setting I'm playing.

Also, your thread reminded me I had file related somewhere on my computer, so thanks I guess.

You'd say wrong, old 40k had genestealer Limousines and electric guitar noise marines. Shit started off absurd and has gradually become more serious business, although it has jumped the shark in the sense that it went from fun IP with grimdark and parody elements to shitty kids game barely maintained to sell absurdly priced models.

Honestly? Pretty cool idea for a magical artifact. Would be really interesting for an assassin/spy to have.

Even if it's just a slightly different version of a generic mask.
