Although.... Arctic's crystal is already better than BZPRPG crystal. He can make glass.

That's quite true

[Khromatose]

 

Oh.

Glass is technically a fluid, that's why the BZPRPG doesn't count it as a variation of crystal.

[Khromatose]

Sand itself is also a crystal, though. Hmm...I also realize that I could also control salt, but's that useless except for a snow plow service.

Salt control, glass control via liquid?

 

*scribbles notes*

[Khromatose]

Wait, wat?

[Nato G]

Tiragath is an evil GM. He intends to use our own half-baked ideas agaisnt us. 

[Khromatose]

But what good can Salt control do?

[Timageness]

Well, the RPG would get rather boring if he wasn't constantly keeping us on our toes, so I say bring it on.

[Khromatose]

I was wondering. Will any of the matoran find Toa Stones at some point, or will that not exist?

[Not Quite Dead]

Go ask Ascension.

[Khromatose]

Oooh! Hints!

[Nato G]

Back off. Oblitus got to Ascension first. Any info that creepy computer divulges is patented property of moi. 

[Khromatose]

Aw really? That's not cool.

[Nato G]

First in, best dressed. Sometimes going it alone can pay off, big-time. 

[Wyrd Bid Ful Araed]

But what good can Salt control do?

I had a Toa of Salt once. In addition to just controlling and creating salt in a manner similar to sand (imagine creating a dust devil made of salt) he could dull and maybe completely nullify the powers of other, based on the whole "salt banishes evil" superstition. The more salt he covered with you, the more it blocked out your powers. Highly doubt you'd get away with that here, I had the distinct advantage of being GM of that particular RPG

 

Glass is technically a fluid, that's why the BZPRPG doesn't count it as a variation of crystal.

Ugh, they go with that old chestnut? I'll agree that, as its molecular structure is quite different from the lattices that crystal form, crystal and glass should be kept apart by the same logic that fire and plasma are, but do they actually think glass is just a really slow-moving liquid? That's kind of a mis-understanding of how glass is scientifically classified, the stuff genuinely is a solid

I'm not entirely sure if that's the entire reason for it, but it's part of it. The way I understand it, Crystal is already ridiculously OP as it is without it having control over amorphous solids as well.

 

I asked once if I could have glass approved as a custom element, and the answer was no, because it wasn't a material that occurred commonly enough in nature to warrant it being a Toa power.

 

So I guess that's probably also part of the reason it's kept separate from crystal.

Mwehehe...

 

 

 

Name: Dessimus

 

Species: Matoran

 

Gender: Male

 

Powers/Gear: Matoran of ice, therefore resistance to cold, Powerless Kanohi Huna (noble, in grey)

 

Appearance: Ranging at a tiny bit under the average Matoran height, Dessimus is a Ko-Matoran who hides behind his Huna. He's not that strong, hence his want for the armour. I may get a MOC of him out in the future. He also wears knight-like armour over his body, to disguise the fact that he is a Ko-Matoran. This armour does little more than stop swords, knives and of the sort.

 

Personality: Cold and seemingly heartless. He hates alcohol. If a bar is in his vicinity, he'll usually bring it to the ground. He has a soft side to him, too, but it's very hard to get to. As a war strategist he is brilliant. As a soldier he is effective. As a friend... Call him next Tuesday, and we'll work something out

 

Biography: Once a trainer for fighters, now a war-hardened fighting machine, much more than his actual one. He's good with blacksmithing, but he usually can't make weapons. Mostly replacement armour pieces. He's actually very shaken and hurt inside, but it needs someone who has enough care to get to that point. Tagalongs and friends are his usual partners, but he'll never reach his full potential if he remains so broken.

 

ARMOUR PROFILE

 

Armour name: Whisper

 

Category: Exo-suit

 

Armour appearance: Designed to be a bomb shelter, Whisper was repurposed to fit as a Exo-suit. Thanks to its Pakari, it is an effective melee weapon with rust paint, giving the illusion of tattered age.

 

Crew: Dessimus

 

Loadout: Whisper's right hand is a... Hand. Dessimus modified the exterior of the simple grabbing device to make it look more realistic. The left one is only half-way done, its simplistic form still showing through. Both are silver.

 

Kanohi: Pakari

Oh dear lord why is Ghidora here. Please no.

[The UltimoScorp]

Where's he from? Why's he broken? How come he doesn't get his armor repainted?

[(Daedalus)]

And I hope that whole "If a bar is in his vicinity, he'll usually bring it to the ground" bit is supposed to be humorous, because I'm not sure any of the cities' military/law enforcement would appreciate someone trying to raze a bar simply because he hates alcohol. Also... how is a bomb shelter repurposed as an Exosuit?

 

In other news... on the off chance that someone noticed (or cares), I apologize for my brief absence. The last few days have been ridiculously busy, and in the brief moments when I have free time, I don't feel like making a post. I'll try to get one done later today or tomorrow.

Choose a different mask please.

 

Other than that, looks fine. You might want to add if he's a solo freelancer or affliated with any particular nation though.

I noticed. And cared. 

[Timageness]

I expect some fair amount of facepalming from the Treize Expeditionary Force in the near future. 

[Nato G]

Now.... Dessimus. 

 

I'm a little confused about some aspects of his profile. He wears full armour to hide his element, but he doesn't have an EED to channel that element, so there's really no point. His exo-suit was a bomb shelter? Who builds a bomb shelter the size of a skakdi? That really doesn't make much sense. His exo-suit wears a Pakari, but actually has no weapons whatsoever, so again, there's no real point to having it. Dessimus himself carries no weapons, or radio, or smart-tablet, or.... anything at all, really. 

 

I'm really not sure how he expects to achieve anything in this game if he can't even defend himself.... 

Edited January 29, 2015 by Roman Torchwick

[Not Quite Dead]

Maybe he is a pacifist. The other quirks are quirky, but nothing that'd bar him from approval.

 

I know some of you have had issues with each other in other games, but give everyone a fair chance and clean slate here.

[Nato G]

No, seriously, I can't get past the bomb shelter thing. Who the karz builds a skakdi-sized bomb shelter? And how he heck do you then turn said bomb shelter into an exo-suit? It makes no sense, whatsoever. 

[Khromatose]

A bomb shelter is a building structure, right?

[(Daedalus)]

Yep, and from my understanding, they are generally thick and/or (at least partially) underground.

[The UltimoScorp]

I.... I made a MOC for you, Ghidora, if you'd like it.

[Nato G]

All hail the impossible pink brick! 

[Dane-gerous]

I love how Ultimo is the only one who isn't utterly pushing out Ghidora, lol.

[Timageness]

I could see building an Exo-Suit out of modified tank parts, but a bomb shelter...?

I guess it could be possible, but it would require a lot of spare time and extra parts...

[Nato G]

I love how Ultimo is the only one who isn't utterly pushing out Ghidora, lol.

 

That's because you haven't seen the MOC he made of the Pink Brick. It looks as ridiculous as it sounds. 

[(Daedalus)]

I love how Ultimo is the only one who isn't utterly pushing out Ghidora, lol.

 

Pushing him out? I'm not pushing him out. I was just curious as to how a bomb shelter could be converted to an Exosuit. Since Tiragath has no problems with it*, I personally see no reason to question it further.

 

*I'm not questioning Tiragath's judgment here, so please don't misunderstand me. I just felt that it was an issue that needed addressing. If Tiragath doesn't see it as an issue, then neither do I.

[Dane-gerous]

Ultimo, send me this "pink brick" on Skype XD

[Nato G]

Aren't bomb shelters usually made out of concrete and stuff? Not sure how well that would work for an Exo-Suit.... 

[Timageness]

Sure, but stuff like the boiler or the circuitry aren't, so if he stripped out that stuff and repurposed it/melted it down, he would have a ton of metal to work with...

Then again, it would be way easier to crank one out using the parts of all of the destroyed ones laying around the island.

I just took the bomb shelter line as metaphorical ?_?

Uh.... what?
