Nerrone's Rangers -OOC and Planning- [Thread 1]

@Bor: The dart.
@Drago: I know, but as said when Viridian appeared, he liked playing with his food before he ate it. I plan to put him in eventual melee combat with Bor.

Thanks for clearing that up. Now, back to the IC!

Off we go then!

What is wrong with using the same weapon over and over? Feren has three weapons right now, but has not got the time to change - besides, I'm not sure his Sniper Rifle will come in very handy right now lol

Also, a note on Ergonian sensory perception.

Sight: They have a mirrored retina, like a cat does, but because their eyes are slightly bigger and they have fewer mirror cells, their ability to see in the dark is only slightly better than a human. They can also see into the Ultra-Violet range of light.

Hearing: They have an acute sense of hearing, but like sight, it is only slightly better than a human. They can, however, determine direction by hearing far better than any human ever will.

Smell: Their sense of smell is appalling, in order to smell anything the source has to be about about 10cm away, obviously the larger the source the further away it is sensed. Dogs can sense smell at 100 million times less concentration than a human. Ergonian's can smell stuff at concentrations at 100 times more concentration than humans can.

Taste: Same as Humans.

Touch: Have ten times as many pain receptors as humans do, and a larger section of the brain devoted the sense of touch. This has a double whammy in that they can sense minute changes of temperature and the like by touch, however, it does mean that they feel pain much more than humans.

There's nothing directly wrong, it just gets a bit boring after a while. But it's fine, tala switched weapons now.

In any case, Viridian will probably die because he likes playing with his food, but I don't want to murder Bor either.

And that is why you would never qualify to be a Silent One. From what I know, they are merciless, always going for the kill, and the instant death. Still, you've done a good job so far of controlling him.

Well, I need Delta to post before I can continue.

Oh, and I truly made three gods for the Ergonians a couple years ago.

Vermillion = Lands, Trees, Plants and Agriculture
Vastog = Seas, Lakes and Rivers
Verdaga = Heavens and Sky

Feren is a follower of Vermillion.

So, one thing I need cleared up just for knowledge Delta, are the silent ones hired killers(Assassins, mercenaries, hitman, etc) or do they work on there own? And just to be totally sure, though I think the fights are in the cafeteria and the evidence room, no one is fighting in the room we came in through, right?

Vermillion (named after the colour rather than a God from the Ergonian Mythos) is fighting Feren in the entrance foyer, which is roughly where the front desk is.

Also, if you want extra information on the Silent Ones, that might be something to ask a character IC.

Viridian - #40826D
Vermillion - #E34234
Azure - #007FFF

Just looked up the Hex codes for the colours, just in case you wanted to use them ;)

Talvox says he'll be away till Monday, so could somebody take control of Veridian until then? I'm sort of locked in a dramatic battle with him, and it'll be kinda hard to continue the fight without him.

Lemme read over the fight for a second, and I'll see about controlling him. Though, I might not be as active as you would need me to be.

I think I'll do the same as Vek, and post about the natural abilities of my character Kaaran:

Stature: sturdy yet of small height, reliant on pure bulk and strength in most situations with an incredible muscle:weight ratio. Quite slow, but able to fit in cramped spaces.

Sight: Excellent, detect visible light and near Infra-red light, very keen eyesight, able to see almost perfectly in pitch black, without technological aid. Vulnerable to very intense and focussed light, such as that from focussed lens etc, making glasses unheard of in Leopods culture.

Smell: poor, Leopods never needed a brilliant sense of smell, and only have the ability to identify root vegetables, and fungi, and able to tell when a predator is in their tunnel (within 3m on average, dependent on strenggth of smell.

Hearing: Poor, Leopods evelved away from use of sound due to the strange acoustics of the cave systems they once lived in

Taste: Poor, just as smell. Leopods can digest most organic matter, and therefore never needed to be able to taste test foods for toxicity, due to the scarcity of food on their natural home planet, they can eat most things, tasting the vast majority as very bland.

Touch: Average to good, They have tails to be able to tell the height of caves, and can tell very very small changes in pressure, in most places on the skin, so they could "profile/map" their burrows, just by crawling through them.

Other: Firm and strong bone, sometimes protruding bone on elbows, which they sharpen on rocks, to attack small animals and open eggs. Now use intricate sheaths on their forearms to cover these, which also double as ornaments, and atmospheric sensing apparatus.

All these are general to Leopods but all apply to Kaaran.

With the exception of poor smell, Ergonians and Leopods would compliment each other well in a combat situation. I just wouldn't go to a restaurant with a Leopod.

EDIT: Lonji, I noticed you were scanning for stuff with a GPS... you'll find that Feren carries a lot of stuff with a GPS signal right now, however, it may be that your scanner cannot translate Ergonian technology.

He has 3 Weapons, 4 devices in his bag he has yet to fully identify, a helmet, 2 devices he knows (1 of which is his RDA, which translates electrical signals just like your device does, among other things) and an implant which have such details in them.

Delta, permission to take over Veridian for Tala? (Mitch requested it above.)

EDIT: I got indirect confirmation from Delta, and I'll be controlling Viridian until Tala comes back. Mitch, I'll post soon.

Wow, this battle has basically destroyed the police station foyer... lol

That Vermillion kill was pure luck by the way.

I hope the Lacuna has so,me pain meds... and when Feren gets on-board he can fly it if needs be.

I want to bring this guy into the story, not sure how, yet.

Okay, after this incident with the police station is over, it's high time for a real job! I want a heist or something with a solid goal at the end of it. Perhaps an assassination?

I'm back everyone!

Hi Talvox, welcome back. We sort of mortally wounded Viridian while you were gone.

Yeah, it's fine. In any case, I'm having Talvox attack mister Viridian. Doesn't matter, that's supposed to happen.

I agree with dragon, we definitely should do a good, proper, paid job next, after all where else are the rangers going to get money from?

Maybe we could try and transport someone to some planet where they are needed/wanted?

Just an idea

I have plans.

Heck yes.

Ooh, plans. Me likey. Mitch, also when is your character going to regain consciousness?
