Machinauts: Far Side of Cradle - A stat-based RP
Tue, 08/26/2014 - 08:41
On a side of Cradle where Knights have never set foot, dozens of mechanical eyes are once again turning on.
Created by the Torchbellow Gremlin Clan long ago to terminate a dark force that only a grim prophecy could hint at, these elite Mecha Knights are built for a voyage across the vastest portion of the Clockworks.
These... are the Machinauts.

Character Creation
Your character is a newly-awakened Machinaut; this title is given to a powerful Mecha Knight of Torchbellow Gremlin make that's been given limited sentience... and a mission: thwart the foul force lurking deep within the Clockworks.
The base chassis cannot be changed out, though it can be restored to maximum integrity by mechanical repair, as well as organic healing methods (such as Hearts).
Machinauts, however, can equip four weapons (that they may freely switch between) and a shield, and wear armor, similar to Knights. A variety of weapons are available; however, your Machinauts have been looted by thieves, and as such, you will only be able to acquire reserve 0* weaponry at the start of the game. Recipes for more powerful gear will be available later, either from shops or as rewards for winning battles.
The gear available for your Machinaut includes all weapons, shields, and armor available within Spiral Knights, as well as other gear that will be made special for this RP. You'll have access to a wide array of weapons, from frying pans to magic wands to turret kits, but they will all fall under the categories of "Sword", "Gun", or "Bomb". Similarly, your Machinaut will eventually be decked out in whatever kind of armor you want, provided you perform well enough to acquire the requisite energy, and will have a shield suited to their style.
Build your character by filling out this bio:
Machinaut Name: (This is your Machinaut's... name.)
Personal Colors: (Select two of them: Main Color and Trim. These will be used by some NPCs to identify your knight.)
Preferred Fighting Style: (How does your Machinaut fight? What kind of weapon does it prefer? Is it aggressive? Defensive? Sneaky? This will determine your starting gear.)
Other Information: (Your Machinaut is slowly achieving sentience; what kind of personality is showing through the cracks? Is there anything else interesting about it- something different about this Machinaut's structure?)
Stat requests: (If you'd like to focus on particular stats at the expense of others, let me know here. The stats are, of course, listed ahead.)
And now, to talk about...
The Battle System
Machinauts are built to do battle. This RP will have quite a lot of combat. And you don't have to be on pins and needles about powerplay, because I'll be determining whether you stab that Jelly Cube or not by rolling virtual dice!
That's right, I'm using the Wizards of the Coast virtual dice roller webpage to get random numbers. It'll be just like an RPG game! So all you have to do is keep an eye on your stats... these, of course, are:
Accuracy is your Machinaut's ability to land hits.
Blocking is your Machinaut's ability to block and evade hits in time; use "Block" to focus on Blocking.
Reflexes is your Machinaut's ability to act quickly. This will determine who moves first.
Wait, only three stats? Well, yeah. Your gear determines the damage you cause and take, much like in regular Spiral Knights. Weapons, of course, deal one or more of the four damage types (Normal, Piercing, Elemental, or Shadow) and may cause status effects (Fire, Freeze, Shock... and keep an eye open for new status effects). Shields and Armor have resistance against above damage types and status effects, and Armor determines your hitpoints. And let's not forget Unique Variants, which are also going to be determined by those virtual dice. (In Machinauts, they show up on a roll of 20 on a d20, meaning they've got a 5% chance of appearing.) Weapons' attack speed also will factor into play.
So... anyway! In combat, there will be one turn per day. Very few exceptions; if I stop by on a whim and see everyone's posted, I MIGHT post the next turn early, but don't count on it. You will decide one of the listed actions for your Machinaut. Then, late each night (I'll generally begin posting around 11:00 PM EST), I'll roll the dice and do the number crunching, then post the results to this thread.
But what if you don't post? If you don't, I'll assume your Machinaut Standard-Attacks the weakest target. No Exceptions. But it's probably better to just post, since it's, at most, a quick sentence. (Let me know if you're on vacation or otherwise cannot post for a time. I'll do the same, barring death, capture, Rapture, skull fracture, or such a legendary overload of college work that it's physically painful to contemplate.)
Generally, you'll have a list with commands something like this:
Standard Attack uses a weapon's basic attack, such as a sword swing. Bombs have a standard attack, but it's fairly weak; their specialty is Charge Attacks. In some cases, the weapon will have a combo or require reloading; this effect will be stated on the weapon's description.
Charge Attack uses a weapon's charged attack. It normally will take a full turn to charge, and another full turn to use. Machinauts know not to let damage shake them while charging. Many of these attacks may damage more than one enemy, depending on what it is.
Defend has your Machinaut forgo an attack in favor of a much higher chance to block or dodge attacks. Be warned; your shield breaks, and takes a turn to begin recharging, so Defend may not be the best option when your shield is down. Defend has a chance based on both combatants' Speed to add to your next move.
Finishing Move may become available when certain conditions are satisfied, depending on the weapon used.
Item uses any item the party may have, such as a Health Capsule, a Vial, a Turret Kit... you'll acquire plenty of these.
Revive lets you restore a downed ally by giving it half of your health.
Escape may show up at some point. You can use this for a chance, based on the user's Speed, to leave a battle early, claiming the experience and loot for any enemies you defeated. Don't Escape too early, but when you must, use it in time and you may save a Spark of Life!
Of course, in many cases you'll have to specify the attack's main target.
Getting more for your fighting
If the party has a 75% majority in favor, they can opt to enter the next battle (NOT the current battle) on Elite Mode. This vote can be called at any time, but only once per battle. Playing on Elite makes the enemies gain a noticeable power boost and a VERY noticeable HP boost. However, winning on Elite Mode will net you extra-special treasures!
But wait, there's more! Each battle provides certain optional conditions; fulfill these optional conditions for an extra reward. For example, you may be asked to win before a certain amount of turns, or by destroying a certain enemy first, or by using a certain weapon type a set amount of times, or by using (or NOT using) Finishing Moves... the possibilities are endless.
Loot and Gear
Upon victory, you can receive:
--Crowns, used for... buying things! It's money! Lovely money!
--Heat, which is required to power up your gear enough for an Alchemy Machine to boost it. Fire Crystals will allow you to apply some Heat to a selected item.
--Materials are used to add a boost to your gear at Alchemy Machines, depending on the Material. Some can also be crafted into items.
--Orbs of Alchemy are used at Alchemy Machines to craft better gear for cheaper.
--Variant Drives will add a Unique Variant when used on a weapon at an Alchemy Machine. These are quite rare!
--Sparks of Life will keep you from losing Crowns if your party is wiped out.
--Minerals... What do they do for you? Oh, you'll find out.
--Recipes let you alchemize new kinds of gear!
--Gear can be found, already crafted. It'll generally be a low level, but can be upgraded to add to your arsenal.
--Relics provide some history of the Far Side of Cradle.
You will have ample opportunities to power up your gear. Every so often, Alchemy Machines will be provided. These Machines will allow you to craft more powerful gear based on your Machinaut's Crowns. You can also use Crowns to buy Recipes or Items for the group, so think it through when it comes time to buy and/or craft gear!
Generally, you'll have three days, maximum, to think it through. So think it through quickly.
If I die...
If the entire party dies, and nothing comes to get them back up, they'll use up a Spark of Life to escape. The battle, of course, will restart.
If no Sparks of Life remain, a large sum of Crowns will be lost instead. Be careful.
Acting!
While you don't need a creative writing degree to play, posting a few lines in-character always works; nothing quite like an awesome (or hilariously cheesy) one-liner to start off a big boss fight! To clear up ambiguity, though, always post your Machinaut's action and target at the end of the post, preferably in (single parintheses).
When will the RP begin?
The earliest of these dates:
One week after the first person joins
Three days after the third person joins
The day after the fifth person joins
And will the RP have an ending?
Yes. I won't spoil anything about it, so feel free to theorycraft about what's going to happen and who is actually a Time Lord. (Disclaimer: Doctor Who is not involved in this RP. Or is he... No, he's not. OR IS HE... No, seriously, he's not.)
Excellent! Can I sign up?
Of course! Sign up by filling out the bio, as discussed earlier.
Game already started? No problem! Fill out your own bio and I'll let you jump right in!

This sounds uber awesome!
However, you must take into account that (which I'm sure you're already aware) this particular style of RP will require immense GM support from you. The way you have set it up will make it far easier for you, but may drive away potential players (not me).
I'm hoping you have some sort of document somewhere, compiling the plot points, specified gear, roll chances, enemies and the like, because a structured game like this would be fairly challenging to throw off the top of your head.
Everything else sounds really epic. =P
I especially like how the story itself has great character development and no need for bios, because of the setting, what with the robots.

Do the names need to be actual names, or can they be the Machinaut's Serial Number?
_________________________________________
How would the stats be sorted out once the game starts? Do you have a dice for that?
_________________________________________
Can we add little design choices to our Machinauts? Like a gear attached to the back of the hand or a fin-like protrusion from the forearms?
_________________________________________
How exactly would the dice roll for UVs work? Weapons and Armor pieces/Shields have different UV types from each other, with Weapons having 8 different UVs (ASI, CTR, DI x6) and Armor/Shields having 10 (x4 damage protection, x6 status resistance).
I was thinking rolling a d16 for weapons and the aformentioned d20 for armor, helmets, and shields. That way there'd be a 50/50 chance of getting a UV in the first place. Then roll a d8 for the UV rankings (Low, Medium, High, Very High) if a UV is scored. Of course, you don't have to do this way and continue doing it your way.

Shovel justice!
((The names can simply be a serial number. They can also be a regular name, or a code name, or an extended name with at least forty titles. Up to you.
As for the stats, I'll look first at the 'Stat Requests'. Anything after that is largely dependent on the "Preferred Fighting Style" listed in your character bio; dice rolls will be used for everything that can't be determined from that.
The dice for UVs first rolls to see if you even get a UV (20 on a d20 gets a UV), then determines the type (Rolls a d6 for weapons, another d6 if Damage Vs. Monster is received to determine the target family; for armor, rolls a d2 to determine whether Status Resist or Defense Boost is chosen, and a d8 or d4 to choose the status effect or damage tpe), and finally the ranking (Low, Medium, High, Very High) is chosen.
On a side note, Machinauts initially will be limited to a Maximum boost in things like ASI and CTR, but there will be methods to increase this limit.
Design choices are perfectly fine. The Torchbellow Clan forged accessories, much like Knights do, and some would be placed on each Machinaut.
@Hex: No worries. I've got a folder named "Machinauts" on my desktop.))

Machinaut Name: The Fallen King (KV-103 ultra heavy mecha knight prototype)
Personal Colors: Dark, mossy grey on the main armour chasis, with platinum finish for its helmet.
Preferred Fighting Style: Hyper aggressive, dual wield leviathan blades, no shield equiped
Other Information: The Fallen King was the first of the machinauts, some of the most earliest prototypes. It has been deactivated for centuries only to wake up thinking that it was once the great king of a dead civilization. It was programmed with a fake memory and it appears to be a chivalirc gentleman with well mannered speech pattern. How ever, it always charges head on into battle while shouting words of valour.
KV-103 is fashioned with a modified plate helm with what seems like a golden crown on the top (hence its nickname, The Fallen King). Most of the vents are covered up for more protection, only two vents are left for the visor modules to peek out of KV-103's impenetrable defence. The Fallen King is much more well armoured than your average day T3 mecha knights, with two extra layers of iron might plate armour sealed onto its original body as well as a thick steel plate protecting the upper torso. All of these extra protection came at the price of bad mobility and flexibility.
Stat requests:
Accuracy: B
Blocking: S
Reflexes: D

(~O ,O)~ Sono, stahp
Machinaut Name: DSN-001
Personal Colors: A blood red main color with navy trim.
Preferred Fighting Style: Two fighting protocols: Offense and Defense. Will switch between the two every three turns, regardless of the threat.
Other information: Unlike most Machinauts, DSN-001 has no designated code name. A row of spikes can be faintly seen running down the length of it's back. Between the shoulders is a black pack of unknown purpose, with two wide cables ending in cylindrical "plug" covers hanging from it. A gear is embedded in the back of it's left hand, which has the appearance of being unfinished, turning ever so slowly. In fact, several areas on the main chassis are seemingly open and "incomplete", for instance one of the legs only has the knee down covered in metal plating whereas the thigh has the endoskeleton exposed. Despite these exposed parts, DSN-001 has little to no flaws in terms of outer protection.
DSN-001's "eyes" are two, one-way, black plexiglass panels near the center of it's face, shaped as triangles (think Giga Shades). Two light dots appear where real eyes would while in battle, indicating which fight protocol it is in. Red dots mean it's in Offense protocol, and Blue dots mean it's in Defense protocol. DSN-001's speech pattern is monotoned, with a snarkiness factor added in to express some form of general social patterns.
Stat Requests:
Accuracy: S
Blocking: B
Reflexes: A

ok
Machinaut Name: Mark30-Longshot
Personal Colors: Grey, Black trim
Preferred Fighting Style: Mark uses a high powered pummel gun and a wooden plate shield. He tends to stay towards the back of the group, taking potshots at enemies. For close combat he has a retractable knife on his wrist.
Other Information: Mark is starting to show more observation of surroundings, paying more attention to the smaller things. His head resembles a mecha knights, but with Retrode style eyes for better visual feedback. He cannot shoot a laser like Retrodes though. His legs are reinforced to reduce knock back. He has a small exhaust tube that runs off of his back like a mecha knight, though he only has one.
Stat requests: (If you'd like to focus on particular stats at the expense of others, let me know here. The stats are, of course, listed ahead.)
Accuracy: High
Blocking: Average
Reflexes: low

Three people have joined! So the RP will begin late on 8/29/2014, unless more people join. It'll start with my (very exposition-y) post on that date, likely to be late at night.
I should mention: you'll only start with two weapons (and your armor, helmet and shield), but will be able to wield up to four from the very beginning.
Now, time to put together some stuff in the Glossary!))

draft
Here is some practice writting, don't mind me.
At first, I couldn't hear a thing... there was nothing but darkness, I tried to move but it seems my body is rusted and heavy. After a moment of struggle, before I could even open my eyes for the first time. A voice spoke, I traced the voice and it is sourced from the voice module of my heavy armour.
KV-103 unit 2... if you listening to this, then it means you are activated again...
I am your creator, the name is professor Gerallex of the torchbellow clan...
Seerus and his wretched minions are closing in on this compound when I recored this... they seeked to destroy you...
I sent you to a safe place... which would be where you are once when you wake up...
You have no name, you are the fallen king... with only ashes for your throne... the corpses of your dead enemies will be your only loyal subjects...
The barren waste land will be your only palace and the helm of battle will be your only crown... you are the Fallen King... my greatest creation...
As soon as I stood up, a group of of what seemed like darker hairless version of Gremlins, Gremlins are the only things I ever knew other than my mechanical siblings. They spoke to me in a language that I couldn't get a grip on, but I soon realized their hostile intension when they rose their swords. I wasted no time and broke two of their necks, the third one ran away, what a faithless coward, they seemed to be more fragile and weak than their furry counterparts...
I picked up their swords and ventured into the clockworks, I will make Gerallex proud by proving to this weak little planet that I am the ultimate fighting machine... I am the Fallen King... where I go, there will be bloodshed...

All dese names do.
Machinaut Name: Cobalt
Personal Colours: Void black with cobalt blue trim.
Preferred Fighting Style: He fights very sneakily. Or well it would seem. His lack of audibility is often mistaken for him being sneaky. He does strangely good at disabling opponents, however.
Other Information: Cobalt doesn't talk. It may be because he doesn't have any mechanical parts within him that allow him to, or he may just lack the programming. Cobalt also seems to have slower sentience progression, or perhaps something else, that inhibits his ability to create a personality. Regardless, Cobalt tends to do as told, showing little emotion outwardly. Some may misinterpret his lack of response as lack of intellect as well.
He has a fairly small, diamond shaped piece of vivid, sapphire coloured metal, bordered with a thin strip of moonstone on his chest.

Excellent! Four Machinauts already. If this were Final Fantasy, your party would be full!
Still working on the Glossary- that's the bulk of the work I need to do for now.
Midnight, you'll be able to dual-wield; your shield will be a "Proto Non-Shield" and add extra hits to sword combos.

Machinaut Name: LV-909 "Ignem"
(Fun fact, that's latin for "soft light". The serial number is a reference to Kerbal Space Program.)
Personal Colors: White main body, light blue trim.
Preferred Fighting Style: Mainly passive, but will fight if it has to.
Other Information: Ignem's personality is mainly being a friend to all living things. However, if you do dare harm it's friends, it will get upset and try to protect them. Additionally, Ignem has a pair of small decorative wings on it's armor.
(I'm not sure if Machinauts should have a gender, correct me if I'm wrong, and if so, Ignem is a female.)
Stat requests: Blocking.
(Sorry for the Kerbal Space Program reference, with a serial number choice, I couldn't resist the urge to reference KSP.)

More writting
((KV-103 would make T-800 proud))
KV-103 unit 2, this is professor Gerrallex... if you feel naked right now, I am sorry...
I never had the time to install the proper armour for you before the great coloney sanctioned our clan...
So I prepared a series of pre-recorded audios to guide your way through the clockwork, to the far land... where our clan once where... or rather... your kingdom...
KV-103 walked to an open area on the cradle surface after he just broke the necks of two spiral recruits with his brute strength. After seizing their swords for its own, KV-103 recognized the flaws in his armour, or rather, the lack of it.
"It seems I am naked to a fatal strike," KV-103 monolouged to itself after scanning its unarmoured endoskeleton, "I need to seek protection... armour!"
Moving on to an abandoned junk yard, KV-103 scanned the place and began to scavenge bits and pieces nessessary to bring his aged system back to a functional state. It first applied grease to its rusted joined and removed small gravels from its gears. And suddenly, another audio cued just as KV-103 becomes fully repaired.
You are doing good, Fallen King... if only you have saw your brother, KV-103 unit 1... I sent him to face Seerus's men when they broke in... he died honourably in exchange for the time needed for your escape... you and unit1 were the only two KV-103 ever produced...
I see, you are in a junkyard... now you need to get your self some armour...
KV-103 picked up a steel bucket in mild condition, the sloped design and thickness makes it good for both ranged and melee attack.
So a bucket, not a bad idea... and the size is just right, try it on...
KV-103 wears on the bucket, as goofy as it looks, the bucket was the best thing it could get. Two holes were punctured conveniently in the centre for its visual module to see through, but not without great restriction.
Hey Fallen King, just the helmet isn't enough... look around and see if you can find more to protect your main torso...
KV-103 found a broken motorcycle nearby and decided to dismantle it. Cutting the fuel tank in half with its proto sword, KV-103 attached them onto its shoulder, the fuel tank now act as its shoulder pads. The exhaust pipes and handles were then used to cover up the limbs, the two wheels of the motor cycle were attached to its back to act as protection against rear attacks. Placing the two swords inside the steel wirings of the wheels, KV-103 was prepared for the first few stratums of cradle.
"I am set," KV-103 monolouged in a confident tone as it walked out of the junk yard, "To adventure!"

A derelict lab lies underground. A majority of the machinery either has been looted by now or sits inert from disuse, collecting dust and cobwebs.

With five Machinauts, the RP will begin (as in, more than practice writing) tomorrow, 8/29/2014! ...which was going to happen anyway. But hey, five people! Caps the party for Final Fantasy IV.
@Hex: Glad you like it!
@Mid and Sono: While that practice writing may not necessarily be canon (in particular, the part about the Knights; they're mostly on the opposite side of the planet), I'll make it so the recordings (at the very least) will be canon. But the first thing outside the pods will be a friend.

"Now to get to work on
"Now to get to work on Lady-of-War's... Lady of War."
I see what you did there.
I guess I'll do a writing too. The text in italics is the writing. (It might be obvious but I'd like to point it out.)
I laid dormant in the pod. It was dark and quiet. I've been here...for how long exactly? As I pondered on how long it must have been, I realized I could move. I tried to get up, but the pod's construction left just enough headroom to tilt my head forward and see out the nearly opaque glass.
A beep drew my attention. I had a message. Wondering what it's content could be, I opened it.
Greetings. This is a pre-recorded message.
LV-909, the time has come. A dark force threatens the planet, and if left unchecked, may cause massive devastation on an unforeseen scale. Your mission is simple: find and destroy the dark force.
However, accomplishing it is anything but simple. Cradle is a dangerous planet, and peril could await you at any moment. Fortunately, you are not alone in your task. Several other Machinauts have been assigned the same mission. Seek them out if you must.
Good luck.
As I closed the message, I felt and heard a fizz. A plume of steam burst into my pod. It must be opening! Light began to fill into the opening pod. I was enveloped in a cloud of steam, but I was able to make out a figure looking similar to a Machinaut. Could it be...?
Most of the stuff pertaining to the dark force is pretty much speculative since we have very little info on it. I vaguely guessed that if left unchecked, it could cause a Class X-4 apocalypse or worse. Additionally, what it is, is still up to speculate. Maybe it's the Swarm, maybe it's the Apocrea, who knows.

Pressing "y", it stepped back as a holo-projector rose from the console. When it turned on, a Gremlin, seemingly in his elder years, appeared. He had a white, dirt-stained lab coat and goggles woth a flame pattern around the openings. "Ah, 001. Hopefully. *clears throat* If you're watching this, then it's finally time for you to walk the surface of Cradle. I've left you in there for quite a while until it was time for you- and your kind, the "Machinauts"- to roam the planet. I was never entirely sure why I was chosen to create you, nor your purpose in the new world, but I hope you fulfil it.
"My... sincerest apologies for not being around to see you awaken. I had known your sister would like to see you, so I uploaded her AI into a reinforced data card for you. She should be to the right of me, unless I forget and put her somewhere else. You can get her after this is over." The doctor paused, a slight glimmer appearing under the goggles. "I just want you to know, that no matter how much you may change, or what happens to you, you two will always be my children. Goodbye."
The projector shut off and returned into the console. 001 looked up to the screen.
>I guess... that's the last we'll see of Doctor Sertak, huh?
The monitor shut off as a compartment to the right of the projector opened up, a data card sliding out. Hesitating, 001 removed the card and inserted it into it's helmet.

(I guess I'll make a short
(I guess I'll make a short writing prior to the start.)
Unfortunately, the Machinaut silhouette was merely a hallucination...
...however, I noticed a rack with some gear to the left of me. A small rocket, a small black shield and a gun. The electronic label on the rack was malfunctioning, probably due to age or sabotage. It read, "Equipment for LV-909". I took the gun, shield and rocket. These are my gear, and I'll put them to good use!
I did a status check.
vision: online.
vocal unit: online.
targeting modules: online.
chassis: partially damaged.
shielding: malfunction.
That's mostly good, but a malfunctioning shielding could have problems. I looked about the decrepit lab looking for an exit. To my right when I exited the pod was a door. I opened it and looked out. I was in a place full of large gears and machinery.
The Clockworks!

Shovel justice!
It was five hundred years ago that the Torchbellow Gremlin Clan received the prophecy.
"A terrible force of evil will march from the depths of the great machine. The men of the King on the other side of the world will not hold it off. The machines of the Torch will wage war against it. Many will die, but this is not the end. Some will yet live, and for their sake, the machines of the Torch must light the way forward."
In response to this prophecy, powerful robotic soldiers were commissioned, constructed, and maintained in safe rooms. Each one was at once a war machine and a work of art. These were meant to venture into the Clockworks of the future, a vast, unknown machine, and as such, the soldiers were dubbed "Machinauts".
For four hundred years, the Torchbellow Clan flourished. Then, a day of disaster came. The great city of the Torchbellow Clan was assailed by a force of monsters under the banner of the ruthless beast-tyrant Obsidithax. The city's air defenses were swiftly disabled in a surprise attack, and Obsidithax ordered the entire city bombed out and burned to the ground, an order that claimed the lives of ninety-eight percent of the Torchbellow Gremlins. War ended before it even began.
In the aftermath, the remaining Torchbellow Gremlins were scattered to the winds. Only thieves remained, pilfering the treasures left behind in the deep underground tunnels. But after a hundred years of silence, the Machinauts hidden deep in the underground tunnels once again whirr to life, in response to an active signal from Torchbellow Comm Arrays at the Core site...
Prologue
Gears Grind Once Again
"Another one's broken. Darn it."
A short gremlin in a little green cloak runs across a large atrium, covered in small sealed doors. Of course, not all the doors were sealed well enough to protect their occupants.
"So many broken Machinauts. I had hoped for a reunion." Slowly following behind the gremlin is a brown diving-armored Machinaut with green trim, still in prime condition, with an anchor on its back and a torpedo launcher and shield in its hands.
"Hmm. Hey, this one's all right. Well, okay, his gear's gone, but... ooh, KV-103 'Fallen King'. Nice name. Sounds like a real butt-kicker." The gremlin taps a few emergency keycodes, then jumps up to turn the hatch, then opens the door, releasing a little steam. "Sheesh! How'd it get so hot in there? The bombs were a hundred years ago!"
"Careful, Nalki. You might burn yourself with the steam. Open the door slowly."
"All right, all right... this one's going to be starting up soon. Good thing I got here, right? 'Cause those jerk thieves kinda messed up the Emergency Operator Bot..." Nalki rushes to the next door. "Hmm. Chance of chamber flooding. Nautilus, you got this one?"
"Of course." Nautilus, the brown-armored Machinaut, lumbers over to the door labelled 'Mark30-Longshot', then opens it. No water spills out. "Odd. I wonder what could have caused that warning? Well, it seems this one's operational... if he is missing his original gear."
One by one, Nalki and Nautilus release Machinauts in varying states of disrepair; only KV-103 'Fallen King', DSN-001, Mark30-Longshot, 'Cobalt', and LV-909 'Ignem' are currently in any condition to work.
"See, I TOLD them that signal meant the Machinauts would be operational! Wait'll I get home and tell everyone. I. Was. RIGHT! And I might have just saved the world. Go me."
"Don't be hasty to take all the credit, or you may be resented for it... though I am glad you came."
Just then, something rumbles in a different wing. Nalki stomps her foot on the ground. "Argh! Is that another server error? Hold on..." Nalki begins dashing off, but Nautilus grabs her by the scruff of her neck.
"Nalki! That area could cave in. I'll follow you. I'm best suited for dealing with a potential cave-in."
"But, the Machinauts! Someone's gotta watch 'em. Those stupid Klepto Whelps might pop out of nowhere!"
"These five are Machinauts. Already, they are moving to find the emergency gear in the wreckage. They can fend for themselves."
"Fiiiiine. Just... put me down, okay?"
Nautilus plods off at his slow diving-suit pace, Nalki poking him to try and hurry him up. Not long after they leave the room, though, five Klepto Whelps leap out of an opened vault!

(Wait a sec. Aren't all of them in different spots? If so, there should be one Chromalisk that each one battles. I just noticed the continuity error there and wanted to point it out. Also, I love how this feels like a Tabletop Game.)
[Bottle Rocket Standard Attack: Klepto Whelp E]
"Back away from the gremlins!" I shouted at the Klepto Whelps as I prepared a bottle rocket.

Wahoo!
Immediately running the primary protocols, Cobalt equips himself with as appropriate gear possible. Quickly scanning the area, Cobalt identified several Machinauts, but ignored them for the moment, as several Klepto Whelps emerged. Hand closing over the handle of the frying pan, he advanced on the closest one.
(Cobalt engages the first Klepto Whelp[a] with a standard attack, using his Frying pan.)

Butt kicker indeed
Hostiles inbound
class: beast
Best course of action, piercing weapon is advised.
KV-103 awaken from his slumber after centuries of deactivation. His first sight was two Gremlins been assualted by a group of kleptolisks. In the wreckage which it awoke upon were two swords.
Weaponaries detected.
Proto sword and novice duelist sword identified in mild condition
Novice duelist sword: best suited weapon for beasts
"Stay behind me, Gremlins!" KV-103 addressed Nalki and Nautilus, "For I shall protect you!" KV-103 draws the duelist sword and shouted in monotone, "Be gone, vile beasts! For I the Fallen King shall strike you down!!!"

@Hex
(( NOTE ))
(KV-103 is programmed to be chivalric, in another word, it prioritizes the protection of the weak first, co-ordination with fellow mechinauts later)
(I am addressing to the players on purpose, you are controlling your own machinauts ATM, so you are in control, not me. And since this is a turn based combat system, I am just throwing out some basic knowledge here.)
(If KV-103 actaully says 'I think concentrate our attacks on certain targets can make things easier later on, less klepto=less damage taken the next round.' would be silly, I am trying to create immersion here. Not a video game)
Fri, 08/29/2014 - 22:58

@Midnight
((Well, I was just saying that if your Machinaut had any ideas, for it to share it with the others so they could work together. I don't see how that would break the immersion. Frankly, I thought it would be even better! But it's your choice, so I'll just leave it at that.))

gah missed the start!
Get up.
Mark30-Longshot sat forwards in his pod. Something had given him a command. But he wasn't connected to anything. Quickly he ran a scan of himself, nothing in disrepair. As Mark moved he could feel the gears grinding slowly. Note to self, apply oil. He reached up and flicked on his eyes. Multiple lifeforms immediately plopped up on his scanner. Two were gremlins, five seemed to be Klepto-Wekps according to his info bank.
They're in trouble!
The voice again. What was it? Casting the thought aside, Mark pulled himself up and searched for a weapon. Sitting near the pod was a pile of junk. He scanned it and picked out a heavy looking gun and a wood shield. Mark put the shield on his back and picked up a small knife.

Is it to late ?
Machinaut Name: D-07 'Ditto'

( NOTE : its default is set to be Charge Mode )
Other Information: Doesn't talk much. Even when It does , it only says a single phrase ( This is because i can't speak english with proper grammar ). It has 3 red eyes like retrode , the third eyes only open when its scanning. Cold , Ambitious , Caring , and Cautious is the proper description for D-07. It has a Black and blue proto crest , Dark Blue Backpack , and Scratch everywhere on its body.

((I've noticed people referring to Nautilus as a "Gremlin". An easy mistake to make, because his key physical feature is his big diving suit, but he's actually a Machinaut.
The RNG is a fickle beast, it seems. Good thing Kleptolisks are such wimps!))
From the next room, you can hear Nalki and Nautilus talking.
"Okay, here we go. Sheesh, this is easy to hack!"
"It IS a hundred years out of date."
"All right... that should be it... wait, really? Lag. Why is there lag?! I KNOW it's over a hundred years old, but come on! This thing is running nothing else!"
"Hmm... Nalki, come over here while that's loading. It looks like D-07 here will be simple to fix..."
The conversation is harder to hear afterward, as the party has already engaged the Kleptolisks, slaying one and damaging another. Somehow, KV-103 and LV-909 take hits, but Hearts from the slain Kleptolisk restore their health.

--TIMERS--
Timey-Wimey Wall (Entire party's Evade and Block Sums are increased by 6 for 3 turns)
------
--ADVANCED BATTLE FORMULAS-- [Quick Find: Andtherewasmuchnumbercrunching]
Confirm Attack Hits:
-Add (Attacker Accuracy + Weapon Accuracy - (Target Blocking / 2) + Misc); this is the Evade Sum.
-Add (Attacker Accuracy + Weapon Accuracy - (Target Blocking) + Misc); this is the Block Sum.
-Roll 1d16.
---If the roll is 16, or is at or above the Evade Sum, the attack misses.
---If the roll is 1, or is at or below the Block Sum, the attack hits.
---If the roll is between the Block Sum and the Evade Sum, the attack is Blocked and directed to the user's shield. Targets with no shield, or with a broken shield, will be hit.
---Charged attacks will raise Weapon Accuracy by 2.
---Defending doubles the target's Blocking stat in the above equation.
-Helpful effects never miss. Nobody (except maybe a Doom Cube) is trying to dodge a Remedy Capsule.
-Finishing Moves have a much lower chance to miss. Roll Percentile Dice for each target; attacks miss on a roll of 1 and are Blocked on a roll of 2.. If a target is Defending, attacks miss on a roll of 2 and are Blocked on a roll of 4.
EXAMPLE: Nautilus has 6 Accuracy and uses a Titan's Anchor, which (as a Boat Anchor weapon) has a Weapon Accuracy of 8. His target, a Retrode, has 2 Blocking and no Shield; this means that the Evade Sum is 13 and the Block Sum is 12. Nautilus manages to swing twice in his turn. For his first attack, Nautilus rolls a 15. The attack misses. For his second attack, Nautilus rolls a 10. The attack hits!
Number of Attacks:
-With a Sword or other Melee Weapon attack: add (Combo Speed + Attacker Reflexes + 1d4 Roll - Target Reflexes - Combo Length), and divide the result by 2. If the number is greater than the combo length, add (Combo Length) attacks and subtract the remaining sum by (1 + Combo Length/2) rounded down, then repeat until the sum is zero.
EXAMPLE: Pholy has 7 Reflexes and uses Metal Fists with 10 Combo Speed and a 3-hit combo on a Trojan, which has 2 Reflexes. He rolls a 3 on 1d4, so the initial sum is 7 + 10 + 3 - 2 - 3 = 15. Dividing 15 by 2 gets 7.5. The first full combo lowers this sum to 4.5, and 3 more points are removed afterward, leaving 1.5 remaining. This allows Pholy two more attacks, for a total of five attacks.
-With a Gun or other Ranged attack, add (Rate of Fire + Attacker Reflexes + 1d4 Roll - Target Reflexes / 2 - Clip Size / 3). In a similar vein to swords, take the result and subtract the first Clip, before removing 8 points from the remaining result for Reload. (For every 3 points of Gun ASI, remove 1 point from the Reload requirement.)
EXAMPLE: Gaunt has 8 Reflexes and fires an Overclocked Light Scope (10 Rate of Fire, 10-shot clip) standard attack at a Quicksilver with 7 Reflexes. He rolls a 3 on 1d4, so the initial sum is 8 + 10 + 3 - 4 - 3 = 14. A full clip lowers this result to 4, and Reload subtracts 8, leaving the sum at -4. As such, Gaunt can fire off the full clip of 10 shots, and nothing more.
-With any other attack, add (Speed Modifier + Attacker Reflexes - Target Reflexes / 2 + 1d4 roll + Misc). Take this sum and simply divide by six.
---Attack Speed Increase will affect the Number of Attacks.
Charge Attack mechanics:
-When a Charge Attack is used, unless effects like "Quick Charge" are present, the charge takes a full turn.
-While Charging, the user cannot Block; attack rolls between the Evade and Block sum automatically connect.
-Charge Time Reduction increases the Turn Order for that
---An instant Charge may occur on a Charge Attack; the chance of this happening is (5 + (5 * Charge Time Reduction level))%.
Area Attacks
-Each Area Attack has a chance of hitting multiple targets. This amount is listed with the attack damage. (Example: 50 Nrm (up to 8))
-When the attack is launched, 1d(MaxTargets) is rolled- for example, an attack that hits 10 enemies will roll 1d10.
---If the number rolled is over the current amount of targets, the amount of targets increases by 1 and another roll takes place.
---If the number rolled is at or under the current amount of targets, the number of targets stays put and each target's Evade and Block sums are processed.
The effect of Defenses:
-(Total Damage - Target Defense / 4) = Total Damage
-Sum of all (Damage of each Attack - Shield Defense / 4) = Damage to Shield on successful Block
-Note that only the relevant Defense is applied; an Umbra Driver would check against Shadow Defense while a Dark Briar Barrage would check against Piercing Defense.
-Split Damage relies on 50% of each of the target's relevant defenses unless otherwise noted.
Movement Speed Increase's effect:
-Each point of MSI increases one stat.
-The first point increases the user's highest stat, the second increases the user's second highest stat, the third increases the user's lowest stat. This pattern repeats itself.
-In case of a tie, Reflexes takes priority, followed by Blocking.
-Turn Order rolls increase by (MSI/2). If anyone has .5 MSI, the roll for a Tiebreaker is (1d50 + 50).
Status Effects:
-The chance of a status effect occurring is 12.5% base for a Slight Chance, 25% for a Fair Chance, and 50% for a Good Chance.
-Status Resistance decreases the chance by 2.5% per level; enough Resistance can cause de facto immunity to a Slight Chance.
-Some enemies are immune to certain status effects (for example, a Pepperkat is immune to Fire, Curse and Doom, while an Isotrode is immune to Poison and Sleep)
-The amount of turns a Status Effect lasts depends on the strength (Minor, Moderate, or Strong) of the effect
---Minor lasts 2 turns, -1 for each level of resistance, +1 for every three levels of vulnerability
---Moderate lasts 3 turns, -1 for every two levels of resistance, +1 for every two levels of vulnerability
---Strong lasts 4 turns, -1 for every three levels of resistance, +1 for every two levels of vulnerability
---Shock lasts 1.5 times longer
---Curse lasts 3 times longer
---Doom completely ignores this
-Status Effects' power is dependent on effect strength (Minor, Moderate, or Strong) and on the user's Status Effect Amp
---Fire deals (5 * effect strength * (inflicting attack Star Level+1)) unblockable, unmitigated damage each turn. Each point of Fire Effect Amp (and target Fire Vulnerability) adds an additional 2.5% damage per level to Minor Fire, 4% damage per level to Moderate Fire, and 5% damage per level to Strong Fire. Each point of target Fire Resistance removes the same amount of damage.
---Freeze holds the opponent, preventing them from hitting except against a non-Defending enemy on an attack roll of 1, for (1 + effect strength) turns, and negating the Evade Sum while Frozen. Every three points of Freeze Effect Amp (and target Freeze Vulnerability) add an additional turn to the Freeze effect, while every three points of target Freeze Resistance remove a turn from the Freeze effect (minimum 1 turn). Being hit by an attack (friendly or hostile) has an (100 - (5 * User Freeze Effect Amp))% chance to break Freeze.
---Shock causes spasms that interrupt any actions. The chance of these spasms is (12.5 * effect strength). An additional 2.5% spasm chance is added for each point of Shock Effect Amp and target Shock Vulnerability, and a 2.5% spasm chance is removed for each point of Shock Resistance. Shock also causes (2 * (inflicting attack Star Level + 1)) Elemental damage, that is Blocked on a roll of 3 or 4, or if the user is Defending.
---Poison converts all forms of healing into damage; hearts are not picked up while poisoned, but Health Capsules will harm you if used on the same turn you're poisoned. It also lowers all damage by (15% * effect strength) and all defenses by (5% * effect strength) after all other modifiers. An additional 3% damage and 1% defenses are lost for each point of Poison Effect Amp or Poison Vulnerability, and 3% damage and 1% defenses are retained for each point of Poison Resistance.
---Stun slows your attacks. The Number of Attacks sum is divided by an additional (1 + effect strength), and if forced to round down, it will take two turns to launch one attack. Charge Attacks take an additional turn to charge. An "instant charge" still works with Minor Stun, works like a normal Charge Attack with Moderate Stun, and does not happen with Strong Stun. Accuracy, Blocking and Reflexes are also reduced by (1 * effect strength). Every two points of Stun Status Amp and target Stun Vulnerability increases this amount by 1, and every two points of Stun Status Resistance decrease this amount by 1.
---Curse damages you if you use a weapon or item affected by the Curse. Being hit with Curse again renews the timer (like all status effects), and randomizes the Cursed weapons based on the original Curse strength. Two Weapons or Attacks and three Items, plus an additional weapon and item for every two points of Curse Effect Amp or Curse Vulnerability (and minus an additional weapon and item for every two points of Curse Resistance) are Cursed. The Curse damage is (15 * effect strength * (inflicting attack Star Level + 2)); it is mitigated by 1/4 of the victim's Shadow defense and obviously can't be blocked. Each point of Curse Effect Amp or Curse Vulnerability adds +2.5% Curse damage, and each point of Curse Resistance removes 2.5% Curse damage.
-----A victim that is Cursed before they can attack, and has a non-Cursed weapon or attack available, has a (10 * Reflexes)% chance of switching to a non-Cursed weapon or attack before attacking. A Curse on a Remedy Capsule inflicts half the usual damage if the Capsule is used to cure the Curse.
---Sleep outright causes the user to not do anything while active. Damage (or an ally's "Attack") awakens the user. However, the victim regains health equal to (5 * (3 / effect strength) * Victim Armor Star Level) each turn. Sleep Resistance increases this healing by +2% per point. Sleep Effect Amp and Sleep Vulnerability decrease this healing by -2% per point. (Let's be honest. How do you get a good night's sleep in heavy plate mail?) If the victim is also Poisoned, the effects of Sleep Resistance, Vulnerability, and Effect Amp are reversed.
-----Machinauts have a "Sleep Mode". While this allows them a form of faux-organic rejuvenation, experiments with Zee Cores reveal that it also, unfortunately, makes them vulnerable to Sleep effects. But hey, Sleep strata never show up! Right? Uh... right?
---Doom reduces the target's HP to zero after ((6/effect strength) + 2) turns. Every four points of Doom Effect Amp and Doom Vulnerability reduce the initial countdown by one, while every four points of Doom Resistance increase the countdown by one. Each point of the victim's Doom Resistance higher than the sum of their Doom Vulnerability and the attacker's Doom Effect Amp reduces the damage by 5% (from an initial 100%).
-----No, bosses cannot be inflicted with Doom. Come on now.
Turn Order
-At the start of each turn, each combatant rolls 1d3 (which is totally possible with creative use of 1d6!). This plus the combatant's Reflexes is that combatant's Speed.
-The highest Speed Sum goes first, then the next highest, and so on.
-In case of a tie, percentile dice are rolled for each combatant.
-Movement Speed Increase helps with this.
-Certain commands always go first (Defend, for example).
