Read more carefully, the system in the suit rebuilds your body. In a since of you die and stay dead for too long your SoL and what ever your body was at when the scan happened, meaning what ever your mind remembered, your body would be redone to match it. So in a since your Muscle memory would be worthless for as soon as the revival process starts your body is rebuilt to the moment the last scan happened.

Might be reading too far into this, might be bringing real science a little to far into this. But its what I understand from what was presented to me.

@Darkwatck: EDIT: On further reflection, I believe the Lockdown Circuit is located in the bodysuit, which is not substantially changed during crafting. That would mean she lost ALL her combat memories since the time she first put it on.

I'm going to have a really hard time justifying her skills now. xD Time to hype it up to sheer talent. ^_^

@Hexlash: Dang, when you compliment, you really compliment, which is a compliment to yourself. ^_^

I'm quite honored to be thus praised by such a skilled writer.

Again, I am just offering advice, its all I can do till my role comes into play. Even then, my role will not be very bit. If you see the Big Boss too much you start to see what they don't want you to see. a Weakness.

@Darkwatck & Hexlash

I think "muscle memory" (also called "motor skills") is also stored in the brain. The Lockdown Circuit saves and replaces the ENTIRE brain state (which is much simpler than trying to figure out what changed since the last scan), so any skills, thoughts, or memories acquired are completely lost should an earlier state supercede a later one.

She's never getting her former skills back.

Had to edit my post a bit for consistency. Since it's settled that her last brain scan occurred when she donned the bodysuit, that means she was a Recruit at the time. Recruits enter the Spiral Order at 18 years of age, and Evaria is 23, so she lost 5 years of experience. These two items were edited into the post.

Also, if anyone was wondering how she knows she lost 5 years, the HUD located in her contact lenses provides the date and time, and she knows pretty darn well what year it's supposed to be (it was an eventful year!).

Lovely.

Hard is it for one to lose themself, but even harder is it for one to lose time for it is something we can not take back or regain, once it is spent, the time is lost forever in the void that is, time.

So! Back to business.

I think we'll have to do without story hooks for a little while yet. We should be able to pick up the pace once everyone reaches Rescue Camp/Haven.

Everyone needs to now write about their journey to Rescue Camp. Try to make it happen in one post, because some plots simply don't unfold until you get there.

Bah more waiting. But it is necessary for story development .-.

Wait a moment more will ya, Thin. Currently all characters are making there way to the rescue camp? The Villain's don't have any kind of astablisment yet, all they know is move to the light. In this case none of the 'heros' will be in fit condission to fight making it very one sided should that happen. Or is there another camp else where for them. I am sounding confusing I am sure. But let me say this, lets have the villain's keep quiet for a bit (no posts) till the hero's and non-Villain's are in place.

Or we could have separate stories for the villains every once in a while, like we did for Gorram and Diavolo.

Hmm...

Could, IDK I suppose offering two sides would keep everyone engaged, I only worry about the sin of Roleplaying known as Meta Gaming which has a chance of popping up its head. Sorry, I am not saying anyone here would metagame I am just saying, it would reduce the chance of it happening. That stated, I am some what entitled to say your idea is better :L Sorry for bugging.

Solomon is on the porch of the campsite basically, in a similar position to where you are when you create a new character.
Should be at the Campsite next post when more people have posted...stuff.

So uh...

I found some good music, But I want to save it for close to the end.
I'd also like to see if there's some way I could see an animated SK fight (Not Lockdown), But the only way I know is by Spiralspy. I don't even know how to record that or anything, And besides, I can't control several animations at once!

@Midnight-Dj

All right Dj, it looks like your Affraiel was the first to reach Rescue Camp. Rhendon spotted him.

Also. The explosive shells mentioned in the post are armor-piercing high-explosive rocket bullets fired from a massive handgun resembling an Iron Slug, called a Typhoon. Morai Shock Troops typically carry these weapons. They deal mostly elemental and piercing damage, which is the main reason Cobalt and Spiral Demo are such popular armors in the Spiral Order.

The "Typhoon" was inspired from the lore on Euclid.

Liminori

Muahahaha-

A Reminder that I can create scenes for this RP, albeit not moving, As well as occasional lack of objectry.

Alright, I'm absolutely stumped, How should I continue? As is, My character(s?) could be next to Solomon/Rescue Camp- But how should I go forward? For starters, I can't just walk up to him and take control of the situation- Nor can I powerplay by making the character himself order us to do anything- And secondly, Leeroy's not a commander, But a Recon Knight.

Oh, wait- I have an opening to at least post.
And now I can't really post again until I sneak onto either my mom's tablet, Or sneak onto the computer. Nobody said I COULDN'T use the tablet, But I am grounded from the PC during mornings due to the constant bus missage. (Sleep in for a few months on accident, And then Mistake the school's starting time for the bus arrival time)

I wasn't really sure where to

I wasn't really sure where to go, so I've decided to go to the rescue camp... I am WAY over thinking this. Though I may have to wait until after school... Edit: there, that should be fine. If someone's available, they could make note of me finding you in a post (which should be fine) so I could be with you or something. Unless Thin has some objection.

I suppose right now the best idea is to meet up with your squad or group you belog with till any more plot lines evolve.

@Dark / Thin.

How many Morai are there closing in on the Rescue Camp, and how high are the chances of each of us running into them?
Just wondering, so I can see if I should include some "Dispatching" in my next post to the camp.

Edolas

I will take a look, don't get me wrong I would say around the rescue camp your safe for the moment. But outside of that so far are the main villain's and a invation or drop force. AKA Shock Troopers (Hell Jumpers as the US Army would call them) on the ground. Rough guess I would say a baker's dozen maybe more depending on what I read.

@Liminori: Leeroy should probably help out at Rescue Camp. They're getting overwhelmed by Morai forces.

@Edolas: Darkwatck has it about right - there's about a dozen or so Morai troops in the area. You're definitely going to run into them if you're headed for Rescue Camp. If you make a beeline for Haven, however, you're much less likely to encounter foes.

Hmm

I do believe I called it. I said about a baker's Dozen, so is it 12, or 13? Mah sumatic's.

About Evaria

I'm going to switch gears a little with her character and make her more articulate from here on out, beginning once she reaches Haven.

Fri, 02/21/2014 - 14:44

#176

Darkwatck

Perhaps its time for the Villain's to get a little active, at least after the hero's have done a little bit of action. This will give a little bit of interest to the story I believe.

ARGH!

So, I share my computer with my mom's boyfriend- And the moment I start up firefox, I realize that there's been a virus.
Telling me not to download anything due to the amount of viruses I've gotten onto the computer- Hypocrite....
(I know that it definitely wasn't me this time)

@Liminori: Use Malwarebytes. It will help you with some of the problems, at least when it comes to downloading part.

@Hexlash

All right, I really don't want to make Dejah wait forever to begin interacting with other players. Got any ideas?

Tentatively...
*She could help Solomon when his life is in danger.
*She could give him a task of some kind when Solomon reaches Haven.

Can't think of anything else atm.

@Thinslayer

Meh, I was just waiting for them to gather at the Rescue camp, but maybe intercepting Solomon before he reaches it - would actually be an interesting idea!

Thanks for the idea spark!

Viorayne

@ Thin & Hex

Was going to have Solomon know that he was being followed the whole time.
Just didnt know who was. But deduce not Morai or the beasts, lest they would have attacked him by now.
Revealing after a Morai encounter.

Hazardous-Anomaly

Idea!

This could be the perfect time for the early encounter with Gorram! However, I don't see how he'd let you go after murdering 3 of his men. Maybe edit the post so you only incapacitate them? Otherwise, someone else jump from the bushes :p

Question Time!

Is it still night still?

Fri, 02/21/2014 - 19:20

#184

Thinslayer

@Edolas

*estranged - literally means "become a stranger." Usually used in reference to someone you used to know but no longer do, e.g. "estranged father." You never met Dejah before, so she is simply "strange."
*curtious - should be spelled courteous
*ettiquette - should be spelled etiquette
*discontempt - I think you meant either discontent or contempt. "Discontempt" literally means "without contempt," which is probably not what you meant.
*realise - should be spelled realize, with a z.

@Hexlash: Did I say it was night? :3 Well, so long as nobody implied that it was daytime, we should be fine. :P

Fri, 02/21/2014 - 19:28

#185

Hexlash

@Thinslayer

Thought there was something strange about the use of estranged, lol, thanks for the clarification on that.

Anyways, from the previous posts, it seemed to be night time, but since Solomon trekked for large sums of time, I wasn't sure if day had broken yet.

@Thin

All Fixed.
Apart from realise. Because Im English.

Ugh. Its what I get for using fancy words around 1am...

EDIT: @Hexlash

Well Solomon left for the Plateu at Daybreak.
The Plateu was in pretty close spotting distance, so Id say itd be about midday by the time he got there.
The time it took to see, engage and dispatch the Morai, would probably place the time at Mid/Late afternoon.

Just estimating.

Hazardous-Anomaly

Uhhh huh

Well, if Solo has already met up with someone, I guess that knocks any chance of a early confrontation out. Soooo, i guess i'll just leave the story for awhile?

@Thin

So, I will wait at the rescue camp for my suit to recharge and wait for Solomon to arrive. GL guys, Affraiel needs some sleeep after a days work.

Kill count so far for Affraiel:
2 standard Morai riflemen
2 Morai Centurions
2 Two Howitzer gunners
1 Morai Heavy tank
6~7 wolvers

Yare yare... It's been so long since I've been on the forums. I don't suppose you could let an old veteran like me join this late in, could you?

Certainly! You might enjoy Diavolo Sintaris, who has made an appearance here.

Huh. You changed him quite a bit... Id have preferred to use another of my OC's if that's ok, but I suppose this shall suffice. I'll RP as Diavolo, then.

I'll bite you to death...

yay

OK then, I can be Rhendon, at the moment I don't has enough time to make an app so I will make one later today.

#198

Thinslayer

@Colray

Allow me to save you the trouble. Rhendon is a recon knight with a somewhat sour attitude and a slight cowardly streak, but he can also be really nice at times.

The key with Rhendon is to avoid taking any of those traits to the extreme. He isn't always sour, he isn't always cowardly (and still never runs from a fight), and he isn't always nice.

Sat, 02/22/2014 - 17:13

#199

Colray

double yay

Ok, I'll take those traits in mind.

Edit: Does anyone know what other weapon Rhendon has?

Sat, 02/22/2014 - 17:24

Thinslayer

@Colray

Rhendon's other weapon is a 4* Irontech Bomb. He uses it like a grenade.
