The Plot Ages- The First Kinich AC

[Patchy]

Awesome! Entirely your call. I'm getting better about the ~100 damage dealt to friendly characters by accident thing anyway.

Mind you that was 100 damage in one action. Not one turn, one action. Heaven forbid you ever roll 1s on both of your bombing runs especially with FRACKING POISON ROCKETS.

 

[Arrow Gamer]

I changed from poison to flames. Post edited accordingly.

Whee? X-41B is possibly the most threatening thing in our fights. For everyone. Just imagine what she can do to five opponents standing by each other! Surely that incredible firepower is worth a few kinks and false starts?

 

[SamSniped]

I'll risk it. I like explosions.

 

[KaiserElectric]

I can always fly overhead and swoop down after you unleash a barrage. :3

I definitely did not just edit my original post with a new character. And this spoiler below definitely does not contain a copy-paste of the material I did not just edit in.

Spoiler Don't look in the Spoiler! :

Ha, told you!

Spoiler Curses, Foiled Again! :

Name: Reki Ryoko
Species: Human
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Appearance: A young girl with grey eyes, she has relatively short blue hair. Although she tends to wear appropriate camouflage when expecting combat, usually Reki wears relatively mundane grey clothing. She almost always wears a large bulky pair of headphones that completely cover her ears.
Bio: Well you see... maybe later?

Spoiler Just Kidding :

Reki was born in the anime district country of Wartornistan, a country perpetually wracked by civil wars and invading foreign powers. Her parents lost in the fighting before she could form proper memories of them, Reki wandered the battlefields struggling desperately to survive, only to be ultimately taken in by a group of guerillas and used to carry messages. However, this couldn't last long and within a year she had been pressed into actual fighting, where she displayed an unnatural talent for warfare. As Reki fought on, her group of companions slowly formed from a ragtag band of survivors into an effective military force, and she began to undertake ever more daring operations. However, when it appeared that the fighting was finally coming to an end, a new force appeared upon the battlefield: Men in black battle armour, wielding lasers and other advanced weaponry. After one disastrous encounter, Reki found herself face to face with one of their humongous mecha, and was captured with little effort.

Upon capture, Reki was taken from Wartornistan, her captors and their mecha taking her up to their Space Station. Here, they subjected her to numerous scans and experiments, before finally revealing their true intentions: to create a force of genetically modified super-soldiers, of whom Reki would be the first. But the experiments encountered problems, and rather than endowing Reki with the ability to produce a showy but useless battle aura in combat, instead created a pocket dimension into which she could place small items and recover them later. When investigating the cause of the problems, Rekis captors were able to determine that Reki was in fact suffering from two terrible diseases. Copicatitus, a disease in which a character suffers from being a blatant copy of another character, and Audio-Sympythethic Cancet, an unexplained disease which makes a character appeal more to the audience whilst only inconveniencing them when the plot dictates. As the captors attempted to find a way around the disrupting effect of these diseases, their space station came under attack, by a group of Space Police attempting to close down their illegal experiments. In a rather dissappointing display, the police were able to easily overwhelm the group, imprisoning most of them and freeing Reki.

Impressed by the police and their 'Leg-Bridge' mecha, Reki sought to join their ranks. Her skills allowed her to quickly pass through their training, and she was assigned her own mecha as a low-ranking space police member. At first she was temporarily assigned to a force assigned to track down a shape-shifting alien assassin codenamed 'Samantha', but even as the police made their move to set up a dramatic final battle, she was re-assigned to the temporal distortion unit to deal with the after effects of an unscheduled FTL trip involving a ship of shady origin. However, before she could do much her Audio-Sympythethic Cancet kicked in for one of the few times in her life and she was placed on sick leave.

Finding little to do now that her life was no longer in danger, Reki was forced to seek a less-strenuous way of passing the time. The result was being sucked into a new card game popular in the anime district: Magic the Bri-Gi-Mon. Despite initially struggling with it, Reki found herself playing against one of the pre-eminent champions due to his highly-contrived hospital visit, and found he rubbed her the wrong way. Determined to beat him at his own game, she began entering low level tournaments and quickly moved upwards towards the higher levels of play. However, even as she prepared for a showdown in the form of her acceptance to the world championship, she found herself distracted when she saw a bystander being attacked by a vampire. Rushing to assist them, she drew the monster away, but was forced into a long battle herself. Despite barely surviving, Reki caught the eye of a passing adventurer, a fairy named Owain Lésiane, who was so impressed by her abilities that he offered to take her under his wing as an apprentice.

Reki decided to take him up on this, hoping to see more of the distant fantasy region, which she had heard so much of. She found that her new mentor was a master of magic, but he struggled to teach her due to her lack of magical affinity. Instead their training turned to the arts of stealth and hand-to-hand combat, skills he had picked up over his long life, and which Reki found much easier to learn. Together they toured the realms, doing what they could to help the people they encountered despite never being able to conclude any of their adventures in a satisfactory way. However, eventually Owain heard rumours that dragons, the ancient enemy of his people had been seen in the lands, and the two of them took off to investigate.

Separated from her mentor travelling through an ancient mountain tunnel, Reki stumbled into the lair of a Black Dragon known as Doux. Desperate to avoid being killed out of hand, Reki recalled that Owain had told her of dragons pride, and calmly informed him that she was there to challenge him. If she could beat him in a sporting event, which she felt should be possible due to his vast size and lack of normal limbs, she would be granted a trinket from his horde. The Dragon accepted her challenge on the conditions that he could name the sport, and that if she failed she would serve in his plots to bring down Faeshire. It was then that Reki learned of Dragonball, the sport of dragons, which is to normal football what full contact rugby is to a friendly badminton match. Now unable to back out, Reki agreed to the match, but requested that consideration be made for her inability to fly by allowing her to use her Leg-Bridge. Arrogantly, Doux accepted the terms, and the two headed to the outside. If any had been around to take note, it would have been a contest of legendary proportions, but Reki was able to eke out a victory through creative use of her Mecha's weaponry. Despite his rage, Doux' pride forced him to accept the victory, and he granted Reki a ring from his horde, which despite its magical properties and general worth was almost inconsequential compared to the remainder of the treasure.

Upon her return to the Anime District Reki found herself once more attempting to follow her mentors lead by assisting the local populace. However, whilst chasing a thief, she ran headlong into a young man with no redeeming qualities other than that fate had slated him to lead a harem of improbably trigger-happy young women. Finding the boy faintly remembered hearing about her rise to Bri-Gi-Mon prominence, Reki was inexplicably absorbed into the harem, assisting them in, among other things, evading a rather confused-seeming tentacle monster. As it seemed that the relationship was moving towards a conclusion, the Vampire returned, catching the boy off-guard, killing him, and moving on before the various harem members could initiate a revenge.

Wracked with grief, Reki was consumed by another formerly-undetected illness. This time it was Malign Hyper-Cognition Disorder, more commonly known as 'mad science disease', and its onset drove her to seek an elaborately over-the-top revenge on the world at large for her love's death. Constructing a hidden lair in an abandoned bio-dome in Russotania, Reki began setting into motion an elaborate plan to destroy the Superhero district. With the help of an eldritch abomination named Azanoth, Reki began assembling a giant mirror in outer space, off which she planned to bounce a death ray fired through the ancient hole in in her facilities outer shell, thus destroying the region without ever having to approach it. However, her plan was foiled when some C-list hero coated the mirror in toxic spores that corroded its surface and caused the death ray to rebound into a passing asteroid.

With her plans foiled dramatically, Reki was released from the grip of her illness insanity, and decided to return home. Catching the bus from an improbably convenient bus stop outside her lair, Reki found herself back in Wartornistan, catching up on her favourite music even as gun battles raged around her. Reflecting as she did on the oddness of life, Reki heard a group of improbably well-dressed refugees complaining that their quest to find the sword of plot advancement was getting nowhere. Even as they were hacked down by a passing alien spy, the words resonated with her; 'plot advancement'. In her short time in Plotlandia, Reki had seen numerous plots, but none of them had boasted any kind of fulfilment, moving along without proper closure ever being given. Perhaps then it was time for change. Maybe life would stop throwing her curve-balls at every turn if she could ensure the proper protocols were established. As such, Reki began heading away from Wartornistan in the exact opposite direction, knowing that the either second group of misfits or first group of professionals she encountered would inevitably be on a similar journey to hers.

Hey look, now I can take flight one and actually have a flight-capable robot! It'll be a shame to have that skill without an entire paragraph in my bio outlining it though.... Just Kidding, have a bio paragraph outlining how I got it!

Spoiler Additional Bio Paragraph :

The first group of misfits Reki encountered were a team of cute kitten-aliens desperately trying to survive on Plotlandia as they were hunted by another group of un-cute crocodile aliens for reasons entirely related to an epic struggle between good and evil and in no way as sole justification for another plot to start and go unfinished. Reki, as a member of the space police, offered assistance to the kitten-aliens, who granted her mystic powers to assist her in collecting the plot coupons necessary to prevent the destruction of space-time by crocodile-aliens. Using the catchphrase 'by the power of overused clichés!', Reki became able to undergo a dramatic transformation sequence that grants her pink hair, a fancy white-and-blue costume, and the ability to fly. She quickly gathered several plot coupons for the kitten-aliens, removing their immediate pursuers in the process, and returned to her quest for the sword of plot advancement as the kitten-aliens took the plot-coupons into hiding.

[Daird]

Kinich and Red, I would ask that you both meet me in chat at 8pm Tuesday so that we can settle our issues well in advance of the mission.

 

[Nukeknockout]

Taking Machismo I, Main Character I, Player's Saving Throw I. About time I take passive improvements and if I'm going to lead a revolution I better get a bit better at persuasion.

If this is what I think this is, can I join in? Because I feel like I have vested interest in the outcome of this discussion myself, as red can attest.

You guys are not discussing the eventual fate of RNG without me. At the least, I would like to know what was said and I may be able to contribute something.

I also feel like I should be involved in this considering Jiro is probably the only party who will try to keep RNG alive.

 

[Daird]

Fine. Everyone can come along.

 

[Nukeknockout]

I also feel like I should be involved in this considering Jiro is probably the only party who will try to keep RNG alive.

Not true. OOC, I like the concept of RNG as a character. Also: FRIENDLY FIRE FOREVER!

IC, well...

IC: TARGET RNG ACTS AS EFFECTIVE SUPPORT UNIT, PRIMARY ARTILLERY USEFUL AGAINST HOSTILE UNITS. FURTHERMORE, TARGET RNG REASONABLY USEFUL AT ABOSRBING PROJECTILES.

IC: This is the only person who's supported me in bringing freedom to the people of Faeshire. It would be poor repayment and completely out of line with Communist principles to randomly shoot her.
