DreamsnThings

Im realizing there are allready a lot of people here for this one and i might be trying to shoehorn myself into too many places xD if im still welcome to join in i will, but let me know if there are too many folks here as is

ooooh new game! without knowing anything about the rules im immediately thinking of playing a vampire teacher (if that is even remotely an option) if not I can do the vampire equivalent of a goth, IE play a little miss sunshine

At the mention of food trix's ears shot up as she visibly perked up, she only got maybe a third of a roll this morning... the rest being snatched basically out of her mouth! so the prospect of tagging along with... a noble? she is pretty sure this man was a noble, and getting an extra bite or three of food was absolutely a delightful idea to the lil gobbo. frankly? even if she did not get anything extra to nibble on it was sounding like whatever work he had for her to do would be easier than scrubbing every inch of the hall... and that damn jupiter guytrap was going to be dangerous to clean, so having an excuse to not go near that damn thing was just... nice! this seemed to be shaping up to be a good day! ...oh fuck politics she looked at him like he was pointing a crossbow at her head as she seemed to panic stammer out a reply "w-well the goblins were allowed to move into our little nook due to the former kings grace... but after that he just kinda... handed off task assignment to a lesser noble... who handed that off to a butler... who handed it off to a maid... honestly aside from the fact that most of the male goblins got kicked out for some reason I really haven't had the former king... do much to me? that said as far as I know the new king hasnt changed any policies that affected the goblins either, so its all the same to me for now" she figured whoever this man was probably enjoyed politics, so she decided to ask for his opinion... not having a clue who she was talking to... "how about yourself sir? I dont know which noble house you belong to, nor am I familiar with... any of the houses political opinions honestly... but if I may ask, whats your opinion of the former king? or the current king if you would rather talk about him?" she did not know she possibly just flucked up

ok... I see where your going with it now, I was reading that as you suggesting I was still attached to them. but playing it along those lines feels fine imo... maybe just rephrase it in a less... positive light? lingering fling? maybe frame it as less serious with something like "wanderlust" trying to represent the sluttyness of course but also the lack of commitment? frame it maybe as "faulty connections" where she is not against forming bonds but cant form them properly after merging with her frame? I just really don't like the tag line for that one if thats the case with gear, I think I would love to set my girl up in the way a lot of sci fi shows sometimes have that oooonnnee thing that is more fantasy than science (IE the force in star wars). thats... already kinda cropped up with her story beat, but I wanted to establish that a bit more firmly. well flavoring my exoframe as something nanobot adjacent, letting me integrate with other frames if I can access the "cock"pit, reshaping metal or possibly bioframes with extended contact with the bots, and repurposing the nanobots to be used as both armor and a weapon... probably being weaker than most bioframes, but being smaller and more agile... no clue how to break that all up into gear aspects, but thats my wishlist for now or later

oookay... first things first... no clue how gear aspects are going to work for someone who... fundamentally is not using their own frame per say.... second, if sex can be used a a justified way to jailbreak a bioframe Ill probably max that out at 4 with empathy and pilot being a 3, engineer taking a backseat at 2 because... frankly the others feel more important... not sure what the other skills are off hand to pick some out Duel processed Defragger inspired by duel processed deprogramer feels good as well, I just wanted to shave off a syllable well also giving it a mildly less cold feel. as for open source code... "open whores code" was the best I could find sadly love the aliteration @WritesNaughtyStories but I "think" I found a solid name for the concept (see above)... maybe dropping Social 'engineer' with an open marriage for electronic Empath for the adventure concept, since currently I think all my statements dont really touch on my interactions with others than my partner frame.. im not super interested in making granite or Rosa super relevant to my character components tbh, if anything my intention is for my gal to be unable to form any more lasting bonds with a frame without my symbiote frame getting jealous... ...as a side note im currently imagining a character somewhere between poison ivy aesthetically and venom functionally... where my frame almost has vines it can use both to help me fight... and to sexually stimulate myself or others when appropriate... since there are additional gear slots I hope this is doable

oooookay, let me see here. got more than I was expecting so let me try to word vomit out my thoughts for now.... 1) seeing how the two concepts I had suggested so far ended up fitting more in the other categories, for now im thinking I should just veer a little from the adjacent mechanic angle and lean hard into the... honestly more interesting hijackbionics/Biojailbreak angle I ended up with in the story. (assuming I can somehow make that my focus) I like the Idea of basically playing the pilot/frame equivalent of a lesbian swingers couple that sometimes likes to bring in an extra frame for some fun, where mid fight Ill be trying to hijack a frame to both liberate it and have it help us... based on the description im thinking "social engineer with an open marriage" refering to her mechanical based job, her slightly manipulative personality, her friendliness, her "friendliness" ;3, the nature of her bond with her attached frame, and the concept of her hooking up with essentually two frames at once for a threesome kinda built in. ...ps If I was making this a pilot "'Top' pilot with a frame 'sub'routine" could have been hilarious 2) short and sweet, symbiotic disharmony still works well IMO, could flesh out a little better once I know my own characters and her frames personalities better... or at all... still dont have a name for either of them... 3) I like the basic idea here that twice as nice has, but im not a fan of the current phrasing, im enjoying over thinking the word choices too much! for an example "duel processed ---" feels like a fun take combining the duel processers from normal computers possibly with dueling, as in sword combat or 1 on 1 fights... feels like it needs another word to really click, ideally a P word for aliteration with the P, but I cant find one word that clicks skill wise im wanting to be a little optimized towards on foot and not in a mech, since I cant... really control when I will be able to hijack a mech, but I also want skills related to actually taking over a mech with a basic level of skill actually piloting them, since its going to be consistently her first time with any given third wheel frame... my highest priority will be the actual hijack/jailbreak portion since that is kinda the big thing for her... ...not sure how to translate... all that... to a sheet

well im not... entirely sure what to do now

well im glad you seem to be doing a bit better now atleast! hope things go well for you hun

As far as names go i haven't latched onto one frankly for either the frame or the girl, but they both still have their own "self" to a degree Physically it was metal shards of their blackbox that got embedded in me from an explosion I suffered in battle. but well i was healing the natural nature of bioframes linked up with my own body, crossing circuits... physically she looks like... a mess frankly, different aspects of different animal and creatures cropping up that seem to vanish the next time you see her, she is... physically unstable, hence why she is able to form bonds with bioframes so quickly, even if those bonds are incredibly shallow. Elaborate on twice as nice? As for the npcs, i have no direct preference, i have them set as a raiding party that are able to smash through baracades dur to the raw, albeit slow power Granite brings to the table

there was a short pause as Fel took a moment, considering her options... chult was not exactly the most hospitable place... and her companions were a socially inept dwarf an a naive sounding cleric... frankly this did not exactly seem like the safest option at all... ...especially as the dwarf seemed ready to be teleported right away... leaving the hammer she briefly considered swiping behind, for no reason... the fuck? "Mr. grom... your weapon is down by the door... as a reminder" the conversation the priestess was having with their employer made her pause... further, taking a breath Felicity chimed in "inoria, it might be a good idea to wear clothing that both covers your limbs and is tucked in tight to them, theres constantly something lingering in jungles trying to hurt you and deter creatures from touching it... if you have ever touched poison ivy theres similar things that are dozens if not hundreds of times worse, additionally thorned plants that will catch on any loose clothing tends to... not be great, if you dont like bugs some kind of deterent to avoid... constant insect bites would be good. I have a few references for survival shelters and tips as well, but i have a suspicion that our dwarven friend here has more survival experience than I do so Ill refrain from doing anything questionable there for now.. that said stocking up on food and water is probably advisable, never know whats safe to eat or drink, especially when some monsters like to prey on creatures that eat a poisonous fruit for an... easy treat... hope that helps a little"

well, not entirely sure how detailed I need to get with this (or how this should necessarily look per say) but ill just make it up as I go along a little bit and work from there ...especially since I barely have a character let alone the little details lol... im thinking that the way things lined up, all started with the accident that destroyed her Bioframes body and resulted in her being in a short coma... because Bioframes are... well, biological, the shrapnel that embedded itself in her body from her partner merged with her, leading to her... atypical appearance once she woke up, devastated from the loss of her partner she made herself busy working on the backend of things, her own reflection a reminder of her partner as she was slowly looking more and more like her frame. she knew a little engineering from the maintenance she was doing on her own partner... or atleast the maintenance she used to do on them, so she threw herself into maintenance... helping other frames heal... feeling a fondness... a closeness she was not used to, with most of the frames. she chalked it up to the nostalgia she had for her partner, her frame who was gone... but she truely could feel what the frames needed, where they where hurt, what was wrong with them at a... fundamental level, an emotional level, wants, desires, and needs she may not have ever understood why... if the hive did not raid the workshop she was operating at. suddenly multiple enforcers charged through the door, gunning down anyone and everyone who stood in their way. one of the enforcers bioframes was half destroyed, the pilot inside having died, she felt a calling from the mech, a cry of pain, muffled by something. running through the gunfire she approached the mech, her hands on autopilot well something was screaming at her to... Do something anything ... so she did, her altered body intigrating with the framework briefly as she physically bypassed the protective layers blocking her from the core of him... of the bioframe she was feeling her hand slipping through the metal like a scalpel cutting back the good flesh to reach the tumor that was killing her friend... not the frame, her friend, Granite. he was fascinated by stonework, his view always drawn to different materials as a fascination, an element of individuality that was suppressed. rapidly the metal in his framework was almost molting, a craggy exterior forming as plantlife sprung up through the cracks. looking closer to a golem than a mech, with a bonsai tree forming atop his spine he sprang to life, much slower than a normal frame but his blows carrying the force a magnitude stronger than before. her body sinking into the walls lining the cockpit, her form half embedded in the walls as almost was in a trance, seeing the fight from granites eyes... then from another set of eyes that almost lingered outside of her friend, adapting to her craggy ally... she saw an old friend, almost spectral in form rapidly reworking granites form to match what he wants. her partner, seeing her attention, her notice, gave a smile that she could never give back as a bioframe "took you long enough partner" the fight turned in our favor, the hive soldiers needing to retreat with their own suppressed frames being taken with them. the development of a frame switching sides mid conflict developing into its own issue... once a moment of quiet happened. she was released from the wall... her snatch having been stretched wide by a phalic length of marble as she shudder and fell to the floor... a threeway was certainly fun, but she had her partner back~ granite found his, a girl by the name of flora, they seemed to resonate with his natural earthy vibe... and was all to eager to bond with one another. currently they work in a strike team that sometimes needs the extra potency granites fist give as a battering ram

frankly the more I think about what Bioframes look like... the more horrified I frankly am XD visibly picturing meat robots just... is horrific honestly x.x aesthetically I dont know what to imagine

Mew kaiju? we are getting catzilla? on a seriousness note though I guess I need to pick a niche high concept for the character and go from there... Coffee powered Greese monkey anyone? seriously though im drawing a blank, mostly because im still not entirely sure how the jailbreaking angle of things... work... like... that sounds more of a coding thing rather than a mechanical aspect of the process? we spoke of these being... bioframes? are they like... fleshy robots? what... are they? ...the only idea I really had that I really like is leaning into making her a bit of an odd one and have her "bioframe" actually be a blackbox of a destroyed one embedded into some cybernetics she has... with her personality being warped as her minds kinda shared between her and the bioframe, without either being in full control... so maybe flipping the concept a tad and having the high concept be something like "symbiotic disharmony" with both sides acting like an old married couple in one body... balancing both the needs and wants of the human and the frame half in one body, and since she cant directly "pilot" we can frame the jailbreaking angle as something she does via this connection... if this was DND she would be almost like an enchantment wizard, charming enemy frames to switch sides, or possibly directly interacting with the tech in non bioframes through her mechanical half... this might be a little off the intended scope, but i think well musing I found a fun idea

ah... gotcha, well uh... have fun ^-^

I have a few things in mind but I need to figure out how my or mechanic/engineer interacts with the world on a scene to scene basis, what should I consider a "standard" encounter? how does a roll work?

checking in @inkylore, everything ok? need anything tweaked?

Fel bristled slightly at groms... lack of tact in his phrasing... but she had to take a moment to address the thought... even if it was in poor taste "Grom... generally a necromancer, or tools of necromancy, Consume souls... meaning in most cases they... get destroyed... or atleast tormented in the after with the scoundrel who trapped the soul... you basically just asked her if she was fine being tortured well we look for extra baubles... and well im not against grabbing a fancy trinket or two on the way that was found on the path we were allready going... its probably best if we dont get distracted and only stop to grab something thats within eyesight as we travel, never going more than a few minutes out of our way..." felicity in this moment... was being full of shit frankly. if grom is established here as being easily distracted, and she was seen trying to stop him... well any future blame for getting sidetracked, would not logically go to her, she was serious about prioritizing lady syndra... but she was not above getting a bauble or two along the way.. smiling at miss inoria, felicity... or felaris as she knew her, was absolutely happy to take the compliment. her ears happily flicking up as she sat there, looking a tad proud.

exactly this, ill give it a go, but im not really sure how... lasting it is for me

I dont know much about fate, but I find the dynamic there rather silly, im into the idea I think... not 100% sure about how often I would be into the pilot x frame angle, but im interested at least a bit

I... am a little unsure if i want to commit to a pilot currently, im into trying out the mecha sexa angle we are looking at, but for more than a one off scene i dont know if im interested... any chance I could play say a mechanic who works on repairing mechs rather then starting off as one fully? Im still interested, but not quite as much as normal

I can see an argument of using a plot point to make him retrieving his harpoon an asset?

...at first read that just sounds like darling in the franxx with the innuendo being acted on... Nice owo ...but on second pass its more like... attack on titan turned sexual? Also nice No clue on the system, or even how that would logistically work as a sex scene between players... But its neat owo

"I appreciate the offer lady syndra, I would not mind a some water" watching her raise a hand for a servant, felicity raised a paw to call someone as well as she sat down... assuming some water was poured in one form or another, she would take a slow draw of the clear liquid, leaning back in her seat well she listened to the others for now.. nodding along with syndras words, she knew a little of the fully garbed girl before her... and this all lined up with the history she knew, the soulmonger on the other hand... that was news... her lapine ears shooting up as muffin poked their head out, raising a paw well stairing daggers at a poor servant... wanting a water for herself. then... the dwarf spoke, and she felt a need to clarify "grom was it? your a man of nature yes? so im assuming you have seen a river, and walked along its edge in some capacity? its just a guess but im thinking departed souls are stuck in that river in some way, and are being dragged towards it... and since miss syndra's soul had... "started" departing when she was injured... well she is now being dragged by that river towards the soulmonger. atleast thats my guess going off what we know so far... its not that its making her sick... its that the river styx is trying to drag our dear lady syndra off to the underworld... does that make sense?" fel was trying to help... but in the process lost a little of the persona she was pushing up until now, sounding slightly condescending even as she made an effort to still sound friendly. "frankly I would not be surprised if this was the work of a necromancer, mostly trying to gather souls for some foul magic... but dragging living souls that have one foot in the grave along the way... again, just a thought" it occured a tad late that this might not... be the most comforting thought to someone on the verge of having their own soul dragged down that river... to gods know where... she really hated having to deal with people like this, left a bad taste in her mouth having to tip toe around a topic...

most of my ERP prior to this site was on a shitty little app called chatango :D ... I like ED significantly more, but it was better for shorter form RP's and casual group RP's

wait there was a pirate thing? I would have jumped for the chance to be a pirate!
