Sign Up Metroid: Helix [M - LV]

[size=2]"Display transmission," the man instructed.

"Affirmative," the computer said. "Displaying transmission now."

The transmission appeared on the screen in front of him, and he read it:


[i]Origin: Coordinate set 3.h2 x, 3.901w y, 4zx.cv z. Location identified as Planet Zebes.[/i]

[i]Destination: Unknown. Wide-beam transmission suggests that destination is mobile, and that its precise location could not be determined.[/i]

[i]Maximum-encryption text-only message. Full decoding of intercepted transmission not complete, and probably unable to be completed. Displaying decrypted section, fully translated:[/i]

[i][u]Status update: Reconstruction of Zebes facilities complete. New defenses in place. Optimized weaponry for combat of the Hunter has been distributed to all personnel.[/i][/u]

[u][i]Project Helix Delta proceeding ahead of schedule. What follows is a report of the project?s progress and projected timetable:[/u][/i]

[i]End decrypted section.[/i]

The man sighed. "That?s it?"

"Affirmative," the computer replied.

"Query database. Search for identity of ?the Hunter?."

"Searching? the Hunter refers to bounty hunter Samus Aran."

"****." He knew who Samus was. "That makes things more difficult. Anything that works on her will work on me. Recommendations?"

"I suggest that you notify Federation HQ."

"Do that. Also, inform them that Jaht Azurfona Kalrosoth is currently en route to Zebes."

The computer objected. "You said it yourself. Whatever works on Samus will work on you. It?s too dangerous."

"I don?t care," Jaht replied. "I?m going. Set course for Zebes, maximum speed."

"Affirmative." Jaht?s ship, the [i]Hunter[/i]-class gunship [i]Anzunden[/i], went to maximum speed. Destination: Planet Zebes.



All right, here?s the basic idea: An encrypted transmission from Planet Zebes had been intercepted my several different people, all with one thing in common: like bounty hunter Samus Aran, they were infused with Chozo blood, and possess Power Suits.

I?ll allow people to play as Space Pirates. If you?re a space pirate, choose one of the types from Metroid Prime (basic Space Pirate, Shadow Pirate, Wave Trooper, etc.) No Elite, Phazon Elite, or Omega Pirates are allowed, however.

For Space Pirates, capabilities depend on what type you are (Shadow Pirates can cloak, but have no guns, ice Troopers are immune to all but the Ice Beam, but can be frozen by a charged shot and shattered by a missile, Flying Pirates have jetpacks, etc.). For humans, it?s a bit more complicated (not much, though). A human?s abilities come from the Power Suit, and not all Power Suits are the same. They all share some weapons and abilities, but some differ from suit to suit.

The following list is the weapons and upgrades that all Power Suits have, and a brief description of them:


Varia Suit: Immunity to temperature extremes. Does not prevent lava damage.

Gravity Suit: Allows normal movement underwater.

Power Beam: Basic weapon. Weak, but fires fast.

Wave beam: Electrical weapon. Stronger and slower than Power Beam.

Ice Beam: Ice-based weapon that freezes some enemies. Powerful, but slow-firing.

Plasma Beam: Powerful energy weapon. Shorter range that increases when charged. Very quick-firing.

Charge Beam: Allows any beam weapon to be charged up for greater damage.

Missile: Projectile weapon. Powerful but slow-firing, and penetrates most kinds of armor.

Space Jump: Allows a second jump in mid-air.

High Jump: Higher jump.

Morph Ball: Allows transformation into a small sphere.

Bomb: Weapon while in Morph Ball mode. Can also be used to blow up some kinds of material to make paths.

Scan Visor: Scans almost anything to collect information.

Thermal Visor: Heat-vision.

X-ray Visor: Allows seeing of cloaked objects that do not give off heat. Also allows detection of holograms.

Power Grip: Allows grabbing and hanging from ledges.

Grapple Beam: Attaches to certain areas to allow swinging. Useful for reaching otherwise inaccessible areas.


When you sign up, you will be asked to choose 4 upgrades from the B list (you?ll have the opportunity to get the others later on in the RPG). This is the B list:


Super Missiles: Uses five missiles to fire a missile five times as powerful.

Wavebuster: Uses missiles to fuel a continuous beam of electricity.

Ice Spreader: Uses ten missiles to create a powerful area-effect ice shot that freezes some enemies.

Flamethrower: Uses missiles to fuel a flamethrower.

Power Bomb: More powerful Bomb.

Spider Ball: Allows movement along magnetized surfaces in Morph Ball form.

Diffusion Missiles: Upgraded Missiles that have an area-effect freezing effect on some enemies.

Jumpball: Allows jumping in Morph Ball form.


If there?s an upgrade I?ve left out, feel free to include it as one of your B list choices (no Speed Booster or Screw Attack, though. And no making up upgrades).



Sign-up time. My character is listed as an example:


Name: Jaht Azurfona Kalrosoth

Age (20-40 for either race): 29

Gender (For humans only): Male

Race (Human or Space Pirate): Human

Type (for Space Pirates only):

4 B list upgrades(For humans only): Super Missile, Power Bomb, Spider Ball, Jumpball

Bio and Personality are optional, because having them set limits character development potential. If a human has a bio, it must include how that character became infused with Chozo blood and got his or her Power Suit. Appearance is also optional, and is allowed for humans only. Doesn?t need to be detailed. Most of the time, your character will be in his or her Power Suit.


A note: nobody is allowed to play as Samus Aran. And no, you can?t be related to her. She has no surviving relatives.

Another note: all human characters own Hunter-class gunships (the Hunter-class is what Samus has).



I will be checking previous RPGs you?ve been in, and if I don?t like what I see, I won?t let you participate in this one (don?t worry, I?m not too strict).



I think that?s it. PM me if you have any questions.[/size]
