What weapon(s) are acceptable?

"Unfortunately, yes." Lex confirmed with a nod. He looked Tempo over while Unit continued with his reboot and repair of his weapons. "I'm glad you want to join us then. I'll have Nora take care of the details of your employment. If you need or want anything though, don't hesitate to ask." he offered his hand to Tempo.   "Glad to be aboard." Tempo responded as he shook Lex's hand.   "As for your comment regarding the size of the crew versus the ship size, it's nothing to worry about. A majority of the systems on this ship are automated, so it takes little crew to run." Lex glanced around the bay, noting a faint glow from the hallway that signified Nora's holo form approaching their location. "Looks like we have another guest." he said as the both of them turned when Nora and a nervous looking female entered the bay.   "We have a lovely woman here who is interested in joining us." Nora said as he gestured to the woman. "Unit you're up!" she said with excitement when she saw the MWP repairing his weapons. Her form disappeared and reappeared atop his shoulder with her leaning towards his head. "have you come up with a different name yet, or should we keep calling Unit?" she asked as she wrapped her arms around his head.   "And who might you be, Miss?" Lex asked, completely ignoring Nora and Unit.

Lex looked up from the documents regarding the upgrades just preformed on Unit.   "Thanks Nora. And who might you be?" he set the report down and stood up to get a good look at the guy that followed behind her.   "He goes my 'Tempo'" Nora said as she lounged on top of Unit's body.   "Don't mind her, she's just interested in one of your crew mates... seems to have taken a liking to him. Nice to meet you Tempo. I'm assuming that you're here for the crew position?" he started walking towards Tempo and came to a stop within arms reach of him.   "Oh! You're a mean one Lex. You'll get yours soon enough though." she said with a mischievous chuckle.   "Never mind that, demonessa. Please delete that recording I had you take earlier and bring any guest that we have here?"   "Sure. Buh-bye hunk, all your parts are here, so sleep well." she said to the MWP on the table before she disappeared.   "Now, what are your qualifications Tempo? Why do you want to join the Corinthian?" he asked turning to look at his guest again.

Sign ups are always open. Glad to have you on board the Corinthian. Feel free to post your entrance to the ship. just keep mind that I'm in the repair bay, so Nora will be the first one to meet you.

Invisible quickly made his way through what he considered a mashed up pile of refuse that they called a Capital City. he much preferred to go it alone in the wilds, with maybe a companion for the nights. as he neared the designated point, he stopped and looked at the clock. 6:29. ~I'm early, so where's this puppet master that I'm supposed to meet, or is it going to be another puppet?~ he silently asked himself as he got closer to one of the buildings that made up one side of an alley. "I'm here, so where are you?" he called aloud. There was only silence that answered him. a few moments later the clock chimed the half hour mark, nearly drowning out the sound of running footsteps coming from down the alley. "What the...?" he asked as he went to investigate. he made out a cloaked man, who was making a beeline right for him. "Do you need... help?" he asked as he stopped dead in his tracks when he made out the face under the hood. His.   "You better run if you don't want to be executed" the copy said with an amused smile as he dashed past Invisible. almost as if it were a cue, City Knights came pouring out of the alley to surround Invisible.   "Give us back the stolen items, and we may go easy on you." said the Knight that was obviously in charge.   "I haven't stolen anything. but if you insist on harassing me, I'll steal your life away." he said calmly. ~well, now we went from the frying pan and into the depths of the underworld. Smooth~ he thought as he stared blankly at the head knight.   "Now you're threatening me? You really have no brains. You're going down thief." the Knight said, his tone overflowing with confidence.   "Sir, I recognize this man. This is Invisible, an assassin with a 30K bounty for his arrest." said another one of the Knights.   "And I'm getting out of here" Invisible said as he made a quick dash towards the alley, slaying the two knights that stood in his way. on his mad dash down the apparently long alley he spotted a young girl.   "Come play with me, Invisible." the girl said in a sing-songish way. Invisible barely stopped when he picked her up as he felt an arrow fly past his head.   "Not right now, little one." he said as he carried her in front of him to shield her from the arrows. he paused when the alley split. He looked at the little girl when she tugged on his shoulder.   "Let's play over there!" she said with a smile as she pointed to his right.   "It's better than standing around like a sitting duck." he said as he started running down the alley, only to stop before he ran them both into a dead end. he set the girl down and stood in front of her.   "Stay behind me, it'll be safer for you there" he said as he prepared himself for the inevitable fight and loss that was coming. ~If I'm going down, I'm taking as many with me as I can!~ he thought angrily.   "Caught you like the cornered rat you always were." said the head knight when they finally caught up with him. "This is going to be fun."   "Invisible, I want to play!" the little girl said as she touched the wall behind him. "Come, I want to play." invisible quickly took in his situation. he then grabbed the girl and jumped through the portal. as the portal closed, he checked around him to see where he had landed. He was shocked to see that the little girl had vanished.   "Little one, where are you?" he called out. as he searched for her, he found tracks in the snow that led up the hill to a wood cabin that had smoke pouring from its chimney. ~Maybe that's where she went.~ he thought as he used his mana to warm up his armor. "Can't have my servos freezing on me, now can we?" he asked himself aloud as he  started on his way to the cabin. He arrived at the cabin's wood shed near dusk. "Where is she?" he asked himself quietly as he stopped moving when his mana had depleted itself. "Better get inside quick." he muttered as he urgently made his way towards the back of the cabin, and towards the warmth that he needed.

Nyxix let out a sigh as he made his way from the market area to the designated place. ~It's a good thing I memorized that map, otherwise I'd be lost by now~ he was happy with the items he found in the market, finding that many of his arrows in one place was definitely good luck. he looked up from the pack he was poking around in to see that he was nearing his destination. Something about the alley he was headed for didn't feel right to him, so he took out his bow and loosely knocked an arrow in case he needed it. As he made his way slowly down the alley, the sound of pursuit reached his ears. he quickly drew his arrow and released it when he caught a glimpse of the hooded figure that was headed towards him. He wasn't sure what made him pause on his next arrow, the fact that the figure dodged it faster than normal or the fact that the figure's face looked EXACTLY like his, something that the game would never allow.   "Better luck next time" he said before he ran past the stunned Nyxix. Nyxix barely recovered his senses by the time he realized that he was surrounded by a bunch of knights. he didn't even listen to what hey were saying, something about stolen jewels. He darted towards the only exit he saw, the alley. After he had quickly taken down the three knights who were blocking his path, he ran like his life depended on it. ~which it just might~ he thought grimly as he raced ahead of the pursuing knights. He paused when he came to a fork in the road as the alley split in two different direction that led away from the knights.   "Come play with me Nyxix! Come, play" a child's voice said from his right. he looked to find the image of a child standing down the alley, but he couldn't make out any details, save for the fact that it appeared to be a boy. ~What the heck, I might as well, it'll give me someplace to hide~ he thought as his feet carried him towards the child, who ran on ahead of him. He wasn't sure where the child had gone but he was still being led by the child's calls to play with him. he stopped when he saw that the child had led him to a dead end.   "Great! now what?" he asked himself aloud. he turned sharply when he heard the footsteps of a group of heavily armed people heading his way. he quickly glanced at the child and then back towards the alley where knights could be seen drawing their blades. he suddenly felt a blast of cold air on his back, and upon turning to see what had caused it, saw that the child had opened a portal to, well somewhere.   "Come play with me!" the child said before he disappeared into the portal. Nyxix quickly followed suit and found himself lying on snow where his wild dive had left him.   "Well, that was unexpected." he muttered as he took in his surroundings. there was a cabin up on a hill above him with smoke coming out of the chimney. "Maybe that's where the kid went" he thought aloud as he started on his way towards the cabin, not bothering to use any magic to keep him warm until the cold would be too much for him to handle. He made it to the front door just as the sun was starting to set. "Well, here goes nothing" he muttered as he knocked on the door.

Welcome aboard Tempo! You made it time to catch the ship before we left off planet. Go ahead and post your arrival in the rpg thread that's up: The Corinthian Endeavor: Genesis.

Lex stood in the shower, letting the heat seep into his bones. ~This is a lot harder than I thought... then again it's easier than dealing with the Hunters.~ he thought as he stared at the water running down the drain. he let out a deep sigh as he turned off the water and stepped out of the shower.   "Lex, we have a slight issue with Unit. one that merits your attention." came Nora's voice over the comm line as he was drying off. Lex slowly made his way towards his room while wrapping the towel around himself. He grabbed his comm unit as he lay down on his bed.   "What seems to be the issue" he said, his tone betraying how tired he was.   "Unit's weapons are scrap. He gave me a list of items needed to repair or replace them. As well as a list of contacts his previous owner used to get cheap parts."   "then take care of it. I think that you should be able to handle the purchase and inspection of the parts so I get the best value. what's the status on the repairs?"   "He's shut down at the moment with a reboot scheduled with the mods in place in about six hours. his suit is being upgraded with the armor your friend developed as we speak."   "Good. I want you to get those parts and then we get the hell outta dodge, I don't to stay here too long lest the Hunters come and destroy yet another town that I'm in."   "Understood. I'll be back soon."   "Good luck" with that taken care of, Lex tossed the unit to his side and quickly fell asleep. he woke up when he heard Nora arrive with the parts that were needed. After he got dressed, he headed towards the repair bay to see how things were coming along with Unit. ~we really need to give a new name~ he thought as he entered the bay. "What's his status?" he asked, taking a seat near the powered down Unit.   "He should be waking up soon." Nora informed him as she directed the drones where to put things. "Shall I prepare the ship for take off?" she asked with a glance at Lex.   "Not quite yet, I want him to wake up first."

"Honey, I'm ho-ome! and I brought us a guest." he called out as he entered the main halls of the ship.   "Welcome home boys!" came a woman's voice over the intercom followed by a realistic holograph of a young girl coming around the corner. she came over and looked the MWP over. "I can't wait to sink my claws into him! Oh this going to be so much fun!" she said as she jumped up and landed lightly in a sitting position on his shoulder.   "Why don't you take him to the repair bay and see what you can do about bringing him up to date with your systems? I'm going to take a shower. Could you please send a message to Solomon saying that if he finds anybody he deems qualified to join us to give me a call?" he said as he wearily made his way towards his chambers. "And before you say it, I'm ready to deal with any and all hell he's bound to give me. Oh, I almost forgot. Unit, you will follow my AIs orders until you are finished with repairs. you will then meet me in the control room. also, Nora will give a new name by the time that you are finished with repairs, this will be your new call sign. Confirm orders."   "Orders confirmed Lex." It said scanning a security panel on the far wall. "This ship's configuration does not match any standard ship layouts."   "Nor will it ever. It has the firepower of an elite battle ship yet the size of a mid sized cruiser. The armor is comparable to that of the Imperial Fleet's and the handling and speed rating match that of a racers'. This ship is experimental and nobody else has anything like it." Nora said from atop 2142's shoulder.

*Yawns loudly in the middle of the market district* "Thanks for the ride into town, guys, and keep up the practice!" he said to the group of gypsies that he had hitched a ride with in exchange for some battle training. He then made his way towards where they had built the hotels. ~God I hate planned communities, they lack originality and the creative flair that happens when people build where they want~ he thought as he kept a watchful eye on the crowd and a near-invisible guard on his coin pouch. "At least I can save the travel cost to use on room and board. it really was a miracle running across those guys when I did." he stopped to glance around and found a hotel near where he was standing. "well, That's convenient" he muttered as he made his way to book a room and wait for further contact from the mysterious letter sender.   Invisible sat on his horse overlooking the city while giving his horse a rest from the almost non-stop gallop he had made it do to arrive here as soon as he could. "So this is what they consider the highest standard of living?" he said with a scoff. ~better not keep this 'friend' waiting~ he gave the horse a gentle kick and started on his way down the hill and towards town to get this crazy  with. About twenty boring and long minutes later, he was tying up his horse in front of a hotel near the market district, since it would be easier to sleep and stock up on supplies if they were close together. ~now to wait and play puppet for some unknown master~ he thought with a hint of cynicism.

Lex stood with his back against the wall of the main hangar of his ship, The Corinthian. "Think they'll show?" he asked Nora, slightly nervous. He was glad that he spent little money while he was aboard his friends ship as a crew member. His friend scoffed at him when he said that he would build a division of his own, asking why waste so much money when you could just join another division's crew.   "They'll show," Nora said with more confidence than he felt. "But first, let me do my job as a secretary and remind you of your meeting with a seller of a MWP that you were interested in getting. I'm still trying to understand why you chose Cole as the planet to start recruiting from." Nora said with a sigh.   "Because my dear Nora, the planet is nice, the people are well trained, and it's the largest planet within 600 light years of where the Eclipse abandoned me. So it was the logical choice. besides, where else can you steal an experimental ship and get away with it for two years. I mean, we did steal this ship in 3485." he said with a smile. "Record this and play it for the guests until I get back please. Welcome, glad to have you on board! I am currently dealing with a new acquisition, so please make yourselves at home and we'll talk when I get back." he said as he headed out to meet with the nutjob that wanted to sell a MWP.

Nyxix let out a sigh as he lay down on the grass by his tent. He had just completed a rather long training session with an estimated twelve newbs. "Going to need to hunt for food" he said with another sigh as he stood up and equipped his recurve bow and some arrows. "Looks like I'll need some new dark energy arrows soon" he commented to nobody in particular as he looked over his equipment to see their damage levels were. He set out from his campsite into the nearby woods in search of prey. He paused to take a closer look at a set of tracks in the mud. ~looks like it's wolf stew tonight~ he thought as he followed the tracks to their source. Within a mile of his encounter with the tracks, he spotted his prey, who was doing some hunting of their own. ~a solitary wolf, now that's a rare sight indeed. I wonder if they'll ever create a patch to allow you to tame wild animals soon~ he wondered as he quickly knocked and drew an arrow, aiming for the wolf. As he released, a hawk dove from the sky and swooped towards him. It realized too late that it was on an intercept course with the arrow as it flew towards the wolf, striking the hawks heart and continued on it's path to strike the wolf in it's left breast as it turned to see what the commotion was about. Nyxix took all this in quickly as he quick fired another arrow at the now oncoming wolf, this time taking it down. He then set about cleaning his kills before he made his way back to camp. He decided to read the letter the hawk had for him as he let the wolf stew simmer. ~looks like I'll have to postpone training for the time being~ he thought with some sadness while he laid down and logged off for the night.   Invisible sat on a park bench and accessed his memory banks to see what he was doing wrong. He usually didn't have this much trouble with getting somebody, even an NPC, into his bed for the night. Today it seemed as if his luck had finally run out on him. ~might as well head into the suburbs~ he thought as he returned his vision to its normal settings and headed down the road that led to the lower class end of town. ~there's always a boy or two that's willing to sell himself, or so i'm told~ he thought as he started down the maze of alleys and roads that made up the slums as the town called it. just as he spotted his intended prey, a hawk landed on his shoulder and started to nag him about some stupid letter that it had for him. he quickly took the letter, and after he gave the hawk a stale piece of jerky, threw it forcibly into the sky. he quickly scanned the letter, put it in his pack, and looked up to see that his intended partner for the night was standing in front of him. he smiled and put his arm around the boys shoulders and followed him into the hotel he had stood in front of. ~Looks like my luck just changed~ he thought with a triumphant smile.

Ok. Thanks for the info. Can't wait to start posting!

Quick question of clarification: can our chars eat if we wish them to?

I wonder if I should post here. Most remaining members tell me forget about threads that are over six months old, but I still have hope that this site still draws breath. I'm new to this site as of December 2013, blah, blah. I came to this site over a Google search, so it's by random that I even found it... or it's fate, either way I'm here! I'm a 19 yo man whose sole purpose in life is to RP, sleep, and play Minecraft. I currently have one thread that I've started and am holding out hope that ppl join it. It goes by the name of The Corinthian Endeavor. Hope you all enjoy my presence as I am working to revive this site anyway I can.

Lex quickly made his way though the outskirts of the city's Market District, the best place to post a help wanted poster according to his sources and Nora, the groups AI that it was a marvelous idea to open the ship up to every scoundrel, murderer, thug and psychotic zealot on this planet. he didn't like it. it was a recipe for disaster. and he had told her so, and as usual she laughed at him. So he posted the damn flier all over the District. Which was why he was now fighting his way through the mass of people and animals to get to the prearranged sign up spot, meaning the Merc Guild's main conference room. "I really hate you right now Nora" he muttered into the communicator chip that was implanted in his neck. "Why, because I had to do your job for you? Again." she added with a hint of humor in her voice. she was surprisingly more human than anticipated from all the tinkering with her systems and code he had done for the past twelve years. "No. I expected that. It's because you had to choose the one local that I would prefer to avoid at all cost right now. you knew that he would be here today, and yet you booked us to be there when he was. Why?" he asked, his tone getting a little bit harder than normal, but most people wouldn't have noticed it. as if he had known he was being talked about, a man stood on the steps of the Guild Hall as if he was waiting for him. "Captain Alex! What a great surprise. What are you doing here on Cole?" he asked as he stepped in front of Lex. Lex paused, took a deep breath and bowed to the man. "Merc King Solomon, it's a great honor to meet you like this, but may I ask why?" he greeted the man. "Because I'm king. now stop answering a question with a question, my friend. I find it rather boring and a poor attempt to change the subject." Solomon said with a hint of a smile in his eyes. "to answer your question, I'm here to gather recruits for my ship. As you doubtlessly know by now, I just started my own division." Lex answered Solomon's question in his usual brisk manner, leaving his usual hints that the king wasn't the only one with a large net of informants and spies. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have a crew to form. I do hope that we can have a conversation with each other about your Section Alpha Delta Three, it seemed like a rather interesting prospect." Lex said with a smile and a pat on Solomon's shoulder before he made his way into the hall and his new crew. Crew members wanted! Come to the Merc Guild if interested!

Ok, that works for me. It would be a shame to have to end this before it began. BTW, I have a pic that might help out with the rp.   [attachment=15389:Some_enviros_xD_by_Dark_Razvan.jpg]

Thank you.

Name: Metal Smoke, commonly refered to as Metal.   Age: 19   Appearance: [attachment=15388:595994117092151.jpg]   Equipment: Nanite Cloud. Smoke followed the practice of most UFO members and crafted his own weapon, nicknamed Smoke. Which part of how he earned his name, the other being a cigarette that he is constantly seen smoking. Smoke is a cloud of nanites that keep him in top physical condition. They also allow him to complete his jobs easier, as they can do practically anything from hack a German Warbot to become tools he uses to repair the vehicles used by the teams. When not in use, they condense themselves into piercings, which are in various places all over his body.   Skills: Hacking and Vehicle Operations. He was originally trained for the operation, maintenance and upgrading of UFO's transport fleet. It was because of this that he trained in computer engineering, quickly mastering that as well, allowing g him to create Smoke.   Snippet: Metal lay on his bed, resting before he was called on a mission. He was always called on a mission, since Smoke came in handy with any quick repairs or minor healing. -wonder who's going to be the Horseman that screwed up today- he thought as he stretched and sat up slowly. After standing up and  stretching some more, he suddenly dropped to the ground and began doing pushups from where he caught himself. Completing 50 repetitions, he rolled backwards and pushed himself up into a handstand before he stood on his feet again. He then headed to the shower. He stood in the hot water, letting the heat seep into his skin as he tried and failed to remember anything of his childhood, his parents. Nothing. He lashed out in frustration, leaving a fist sized dent in the ceramic tiles that lined the bathroom wall. He barely registered the pain or the blood that ran down his fingers to drop onto the wet floor, only to be washed down the drain.-just like my memory- he thought harshly. He wished he could cry about his lost memories, but years of solitude and heavy training prevented him. He heaved a tired sigh and turned off the water. He walked back into his room, his towel still hanging where he put it when he was given this room. He glanced at the clock on the desk. 0100 it read. LTime to head to the garage then" he said as he made.his way across. the sparsely furnished room to the wardrobe, the only piece of furniture that held any ties to an attempt at showing anything besides utilitarian style decor. He pulled out the only outfit he owned: a pair of black leather pants and a black mesh tank. They were promptly thrown on the bed, followed by the black combat boots and fingerless bike gloves. Having that taken care of, he headed over to the desk ans began fitting the series of piercings sitting on the top next to a laptop, his only means of communication outside the base. His morning ritual over with, he began dressing, going his normal commando style, and headed out the door when he was finished.

Thank you for allowing the sign up. It seems.a very interesting rp to be in. I also have a friend that I'm trying to get to join too, so be on the look out for his sign up soon.

Hello everybody. Guy, I was wonder if we were allowed to use pokemon from the black/white region even though we aren't using that local for this rp. More specifically, I was wondering if Joltik was allowed?   [attachment=15387:pkmn__joltik_nomnom_by_zilleniose-d3a9agu.jpg]
