The Game: Beyond the End OOC

General information:


Name/alias: Exo

Race: Acirian

Gender: asexual

Age: Indeterminate

Appearance: http://thephantomdoodle.deviantart.com/art/Exo-376777864

Personality: Exo is what one might call a pessimistic optimist and an introverted extrovert as well as an analytical genius with a PHD in the art of being an annoying git. This basically means that it finds it humorous to put a negative or sarcastic spin on normally positive things and makes often cliché jokes about stuff that's supposed to be deadly serious. It’s also got a nasty tendency to complain about anything that's even slightly annoying to it. Such as sitting somewhere with nothing to do longer than 5 and 1/2 seconds. Or if someone is being ignorant or otherwise stupid or disinteresting you can expect to be griped at until Myre yells at it to shut up, in which case it'll start griping at him instead.

Probably the worst of its extroverted behaviors is its obsession with experiments. It doesn't matter what experiment, where that kind of experiment is supposed to be conducted, or even how it’s supposed to be conducted. If it says in bold print, 'FOR LABORATORY USE ONLY' you can expect to see whatever it is being used anywhere and everywhere with no regard whatsoever to things like SAFETY and COMMON SENSE. As a result, Exo's house looks more like a weapons testing facility crossed with a laboratory filled with anything from dangerous chemicals to biohazardous materials/cultures. And then we've got the part where its actually a time machine which isn't perfect and glitches a lot in rather dangerous ways. Which is why its really good thing Exo is regenerative, because if it wasn't it would have inadvertently killed itself a long long time ago without any help from any antagonistic force.

However, the fact that it knows it can survive most of its highly dangerous experiments if they go wrong, basically means that if you try to explain even the most basic form of common sense to it, you might as well be speaking another language. As a result, it tends to put other people at risk by simply being in the same room as them, because you never know what new thing it’s been dying to test. Does that mean it will intentionally put chemicals in your drinks? Yes. Does it mean it will do something like throw a cup that says 'Best Boss in the World' across the room and yell “LIAR! YOU JUST WANT TO BE PROMOTED TO A HOT CHOCOLATE MUG! YOU MANIPULATIVE LITTLE GIT!” just to see what everyone in the area would do? yes. Does it mean that its likely to test some new weapon it created (which may or may not violently explode/spray acid/turn into a singularity/spew poison gas) the second things get disinteresting? yes. Does it mean that it will do pointless 'experiments' like drawing faces on melons and putting them in someone else's microwave so they explode and break the microwave, or throw objects out windows so they break into a million different pieces? Yes, and it's not always limited to just inanimate/non organic objects.

Basically, it treats the universe(s) like a gigantic contained experiment(s).

That’s the extroverted part.

The introverted part ties into its analytical nature as well as its freakish inability to fully trust anyone. It’s not so much that it doesn't trust that you’re on its side, more that its convinced itself that your judgment is flawed. This especially goes for Myre, who has an annoying tendency to lose his focus around women. As a result, it treats everyone like they're on a need to know basis when it comes to its plans and observations. It does a good job of hiding this though through excessive use of sarcastic humor and often nigh indecipherable overly scientific or symbolic explanations, or stupid 'experiments'. Which is just as, if not more, irritating than knowing that it will never fully trust you, or anyone or anything.

This also gives the illusion that it finds it funny to lie to people and withhold critical evidence. Which it uses to further hide the fact that it simply doesn't trust anyone but itself, and even that bit of its certifiable Godcomplex isn't free from frequent scrutiny. Basically, it’s annoying extroverted side is its tinfoil hat that prevents the aliens from taking over its mind.

All this paranoia and deviously devised hide buttons (Or some might call them coping mechanisms) are self-inflicted because it honestly believes that having emotions clouds judgment, and that the only way to maintain its obsessive compulsive attention to detail, and how to never ever ever be wrong, is to not have any. As a result, it thinks of itself as some kind of Spock who intentionally displays a set of ridiculous emotions and tendencies to make its 'true intentions' imperceptible. Which, is hypocritical because it most certainly does have emotions, but all of its coping mechanisms are tailored to hide them from itself in plain sight. Not purge itself of them. As a result, it actually lies to itself more than it does to everyone else.

Alignment: Chaotic Good

Affiliation: Anything and everything

Bio/history: You’ll have to wait for the book. Seriously, there’s a book. It’s just not quite finished yet.


Tactical information:

Skills: Besides the whole “Sitting around and just… knowing things” gag, Exo is skilled in almost any kind of lab work imaginable. From building the next SQUID super conductor (before you ask, yes, it’s an acronym) to developing living touchscreen ‘paper’ to constructing an antimatter bomb or laser grenades or microwave guns, Exo would be your man. Aside from that, it’s extremely gifted in the art of escapology and is nearly impossible to imprison anywhere for any length of time if it doesn’t want to be there. It’s also just as good at traps or would-be fatal scenarios like being stuck at the top of a building with no way down and only an antimatter time bomb for company.

Equipment: ( http://thephantomdoodle.deviantart.com/art/Taser-Netgun-374949223 ) ( http://thephantomdoodle.deviantart.com/art/Microwave-gun-375383671 ) Plus anything it happens to make out of random junk lying around.

Transportation: A quantum tunneling space craft that looks a lot like a 20 foot carbonized boulder with a clear plastic door on one side showing that the ship is both bigger on the inside (There is a scientific explanation for this that I will give if anyone want to read it) and contains something on par with a laboratory that’s over cluttered and makes you suspect that someone actually lives there (because there’s books and plates and cooking and eating utensils as well as test tubes, beakers and chemicals. I’ll explain it more in depth in the IC.

Power: Regeneration, using the same techniques as the sea creatures Hydras and the aquatic salamanders Axolotls except drastically accelerated. This is possible because an Acirian's cells are entirely metamorphic and never enter a set state which means they're basically made of cancer. The only reason the cells stop dividing is because of something called a kamikaze motor protean which is basically a cell kill code. Except instead of simply killing the cell it causes it to revert to all the basic components that make up a cell and enter the blood stream and form blobs of undeveloped stem-cell material called blastema that can be turned into any kind of cell when given a DNA code to conform to. How an Acirian keeps from getting bigger and bigger because its cells keep copying themselves and forming blastema is because each cell contains only one DNA code to follow and will only release that DNA when that cell is destroyed so only one blastema 'cell' can receive that code and replace the dead cell which will be reverted into blastema.

How an Acirian doesn't slowly decrease in size because of this is due to the fact that their nervous system is completely different than almost all other creatures. Where a humans have motor neurons connected to bunches of tissue Acirians have a smaller version of those neurons that act as an extremely sensitive weight sensor or equilibrium. So if a few cells are missing somewhere and cannot send out their DNA codes the loss detection neurons will tell the surrounding cells to produce the DNA codes for the exact number of missing cells. This means that if you cut off an large enough section of an Acirian it will start converting itself into blastema and then convert that into a blob of the neuro tissue which will basically take in any nutrients around it and form more and more cells until it eventually creates an exact clone of the original Acirian. Well, not exactly exact, the neuro tissue will deviate slightly from the original module and allow for a slightly different Acirian.

Also, this has nothing to do with regeneration, but an Acirian's brain is not isolated to their skull. They have brain tissue capable of storing memories all throughout their bodies so when a section of them is damaged they can temporarily suffer symptoms of brain damage and can experience memory loss. However, if there is enough of that tissue damaged and it forms another Acirian that Acirian will have all the memories the original Acirian is missing. This is because if you can live for pretty much all eternity and only die when you are killed and that's extremely hard to do, you're going to run out of brain space around the 3rd century. So, yes, while attic theory is absurd when you're not at least semi autistic or have severe aspergers syndrome so you have 20% more neurons in your prefrontal cortex and the same amount of memory space as every other human on the planet, it’s completely necessary if you live long enough that eventually you run out of space and start suffering from short term memory loss. So, since Acirian's would easily run into that problem they were created with extra memory space so they only suffer the effects of short term memory loss if they live for more than 3 thousand years. So, yes, Acirians do tend to limit what they learn after a certain point or start saving memories to an external system like a hard drive.

Weaknesses/limitations/drawbacks: High potential for memory loss, can be killed with an overdose of kamikaze proteins and several other toxic substances that attack the nervous system. It’s just going to take a lot more of that then it would for other creatures. Exo can also be 'out dumbed' as Maxx put it on one of his character sheets, but you're going to have to try pretty hard and it will probably be a kamikaze move on your part.

I need to make an empire sheet... On it.

Alright, sounds good

Hey did you know atlas is one of the robots from portal 2? So every time you say atlas I think:

General information:


Name/alias: Agatha

Race: Plurvite

Gender: female

Age: 23

Appearance:  ( http://thephantomdoodle.deviantart.com/art/Agatha-416952609 )

Personality: I’ll do this IC side. Expect a good deal of philosophical wit.

Alignment: Good

Affiliation: Being a political leader, pretty much everyone.

Bio/history: I’ll explain this in the IC as it ties into some of Zalphar and Mark’s past business transactions.


Tactical information:


Skills: Well, she knows of more poisons than there are listed publically anywhere and how they work, can proficiently use pretty much every weapon you throw at her, is notoriously good at manipulating people, has access to troves of classified information thanks to her political standing and could probably get you executed in more than one government without any evidence if you ticked her off badly enough as she has enough pull in the activists groups to be capable of threatening complete and utter civil chaos on an impressively large number of civilized planets.

Equipment: Literally everything on her body is a weapon of some kind. From the two hair pins to the metallic arm bands serves as some form of covert weapon disguised as fashion. Specifically, in the outfit currently shown, there are two Urumi swords, an EMP, two poisoned metal pegs, 18 poison blow darts, a 4 foot length of carbon nanotubes that are thin and strong enough they could be used to keep doors closed or slice through flesh if enough force is applied, a bag of finely powdered boomslang fangs (EG shards of inhalable venom coated calcium particles that deliver the venom to the targets blood stream causing their blood to lose all its coagulative properties meaning the target will essentially drown in their own blood) and at least 5 superconductive electromagnets that can be used for anything from opening locks, destroying computers or weaponry that utilize flux pending and SQUID conductor calculating systems. That’s just what you can see in the picture. Outside of that she generally has a small purse that unfolds into a shield, taser gloves, a credit card switch blade, a gun and a large number of throwing knives and a variety of lock picking mechanisms hidden throughout her outfit which changes from day to day along with her arsenal.

Transportation: ( http://freefever.com/stock/unique--spaceship-d-sci-fi-desert-spaceship-picture-image.jpg )

Power: Influential Political standing

Weaknesses/limitations/drawbacks: Her home planet (the one she’s entirely in charge of) Azulu is one of Zalphar’s major drug manufacturers due to its exotic plant life.


I’ll do the Fruillian Empire sheet sometime tomorrow when I don't have a headache.

Hey Maxx, we should have Saro be doing a mission, where he's supposed to get into the black market and try to acquire a Singularity gun? It would be a great way to get some interaction between Wolfe and him.

I'll have the Minotaurs get some interaction in. They're mainly 'shepherded' by Centaurs, so you'll probably be doing communication from one of them.

Sounds good.

The links work. also if anyone would like to do an empire sheet for the Tiaithers I would be very appreciative. (I know that that's cheating but my mind has drawn to a blank)

Mate, we cant MAKE your empire for you. That's your job and your job alone.


Hey Maxx, mind giving me a planet name to have Saro visit for his mission? Like, which one is Wolfe and stuff on?

I'm about to post detailing it all, but Wolfe is on Sardonne, a large round asteroid entirely made out of diamond.

Better wear shades, diamond is a very good prism....

The planet is surrounded in a metal shell, on which the Enigma live. Staring directly at the diamond would blind you and quite possibly kill you.

Working on a post now.

I see. The blinding part is what I was getting at.

yay finally another post

Ick... I dont HAVE to have an empire do I?

No

I don't have an empire. I am doing fine.

Ok, Well I just want you to know that, you can't just say: OH HE DOES NOT HAVE AN EMPIRE SHEET!!! I SHOULD SEND A BATTLE CRUISER TO BLOW UP THEIR HOME PLANET!!! No there is a series of planetary shields, leftover plasma and laser cannons, And most bestest of all and everything: A teleportation based offencive defence, You get Hostile, and you suddenly have a nuclear time bomb in your engine room. (the system used to teleport the bombs are pretty much EMP proof, and I am not telling where they are)

Just remember for things like that, you better have an idea of how they do things like that. As stated before, there are ways around everything.

This isn't tactical like that anyway so I wouldn't worry about that. This RP is more character based. (I wouldn't mind the tactical part though).

Ok I just didn't want to have my empire annihilated first thing. And I am glad this is character based.

Yes, so how about someone post on the IC?
