dweller's Depths - Torus Reloaded (Rys, Katar)

[MorningKnight]

Once more, your magic users stun me and rock me like few others' builds. Throw in that gorgeous picture of Isabel, and Cyrus' awesome Sacra Lion form, and I'm on the floor.

I am SO stealing your power suites.

Saapren Fleet Ships - Combat Floaters (#44 Dragon)
Saapren Combat Floaters are tugged between planets by teams of Masaskons. They are otherwise fully system-capable, simply lacking the faster-than-light speed of the Masaskons. Each ship is usually heavily equipped for support. These two types (Left: The Lancer; and Right: The Bombardier) are both heavily used in planetary defense missions, especially against revilers.

Saapren Bombardier
Colossal Vehicle (Spaceship)
Strength: 85
Toughness: 14 (6 impervious)
Defense: 2
Speed: 7 (Flight)/14 (Flight: Space Only)
Weapons: Bombard Launchers (Blast +16 (Homing 3, Area: Burst, Progression 9 (Area: x1000))
Features: Search Lights, Living Space 2 (For 5), Navigation 2 (+10 INS)
Powers: Immunity 7 (Space Worthy), Super Senses 18 (Radius 2 Radar 8, Accurate 3, Radio Sense 1 Extended 4), Communication 10 (Laser Radio 10)
Cost: 135ep (Equipment: 27 Ranks)
Vitals
Crew: 5 (1 Captain, 2 Pilots, 1 Gunner, 1 Engineer)
Passengers: 10
Description: The Bombardier is used for long range defensive combat, primarily for clashing with Reviler ships around planets. Its Bombard Launchers cover a sphere of 80,000 feet, fully capable of tearing enemy ships to pieces with that. Very fragile, these ships are easily destroyed by equivalent enemy vessels when unsupported.

Saapren Lancer
Colossal Vehicle (Spaceship)
Strength: 85
Toughness: 14 (6 impervious)
Defense: 2
Speed: 8 (Flight)/16 (Flight: Space Only)
Weapons: Beam Lance (Blast +15, Area: Line, Progression 8 (Area: x500) (2500 Wide; 187,500 Long)
Features: Search Lights, Living Space 2 (For 5), Navigation 2 (+10 INS)
Powers: Immunity 7 (Space Worthy), Super Senses 18 (Radius 2 Radar 8, Accurate 3, Radio Sense 1 Extended 4), Communication 10 (Laser Radio 10)
Cost: 130ep (Equipment: 26 Ranks)
Vitals
Crew: 5 (1 Captain, 2 Pilots, 1 Gunner, 1 Engineer)
Passengers: 5
Description: A sniper ship for space battles, the Lancer is a somewhat faster gunship useful for striking opponents at a great distance. Like all floaters, the Lancer is not too durable for the weapons used in ship-to-ship combat, but it packs a punch.

General Notes
Cosolkons are the meaner, slower cousins of the Masaskons. Usually they operate close to a planet’s surface to make the best use of their powerful Geo-Drivers and to cover themselves from attack. Because of the easy way in which they burrow they are also popular for use in assaulting strong points on planets. A Cosolkon Generally carries one pilot and one engineer, lacking a navigator because of its lack of ability to high-speed travel along entrolines.

Background
Cosolkons were discovered along with the original Masaskons on the planet that would become Choyin-Earth, or so the theory goes. Records do not describe first contact with either creature. Some scholars theorize that the Cosolkons are the defensive element of the Masaskons, having far more strength than the space-farers.

Description
Cosolkons look much like their Masaskon kindred, but lack the great eye that allows them to see entrolines, and the double helical tail that allows the Masaskon to grip the entrolines. Proportionately they tend to be about the same size, though Cosolkons tend to be more solidly built.

Personality Notes
Aem is a peaceable man with a lot of stress on his table, as he has to protect his friends and family with all the powers he has to simply keep his head above water when Revilers are involved. It’s all this responsibility that he accepts that kills him in the end.

General Notes
Aem is a good example of a senior officer with a lot of techniques, who is nonetheless not powerful enough to be much more than human. Despite all the Bio-Arcana he possesses to boost his body and the heart-driver that allows him to partially transform his own body, he relies most on the Soul-Eye and Coil-Inducer grafts to get him through battles. That said, he is a medium, and thus is not a front-line fighter, or wouldn’t be if his crew was on his level also.

Background
Aem Tokao has a long history of forcing himself into things for the greater good. He joined the junior ghost-gazers at a young age to commune with his dead grandfather, but kept at it for life, eventually assuming the role of a Masaskon’s navigator-medium. In addition, he worked to cultivate his Saapres, reintroducing his particular strain of rabbit to the living world successfully before his death.

[MorningKnight]

I love your living spaceships and the way you have the "science" of their hyperspace jumps.

I also want to pilot a Cosolkon to a planet with a super heavily defended fortress, drill under its walls and ring of guns, then burst up in the middle and yell "TIME FOR PIE!"

(If you're a Hectic Planet fan, you'll get the reference.)

[MorningKnight]

Aem will be missed. What a great character.

[dwellerofthedeep]

And then you blow the place up right? Yeah, never read any Hectic Planet, but a quick google has gotten me interested already.

BTW - I felt silly making a character that was recently dead at the beginning of the main timeline, but Aem shows how far some of the younger characters could go if they survive the younger days.

[MorningKnight]

And then you blow the place up right? Yeah, never read any Hectic Planet, but a quick google has gotten me interested already.

The captain of the main characters' ship was re-enlisted back into the Jersey Devil's hockey team for some kind of reunion game. Of course, he had a rival on the other team who was quite insane, and huge.

Long story short, things got weird, and as the captain is sitting in the locker room, exhausted and thanking his lobster-people gods that he survived, said crazy hockey monster bursts through the wall, lockers flying everywhere and he bellows "TIME FOR PIE!"

It became my official favorite comic book entrance before Thor uttered "Ultron, I wouldst have words with thee."

Then it became a tie.

As for Aem, we won't know where we're going if we don't know where we've been. Plus, I could file off the serial numbers, keep the attitude and characterization, and make him a kick-booty urban hero.

[Woodclaw]

BTW - I felt silly making a character that was recently dead at the beginning of the main timeline, but Aem shows how far some of the younger characters could go if they survive the younger days.

Why? I once stated a group of characters, including their mecha (it was for a Mekton Z campaign) that I knew I'll blow-up at the end of their first appearence. I don't think that statting a character is ever a waste as long as it has a significant role in the plot.

By the way I love you spaceships.

[dwellerofthedeep]

"TIME FOR PIE!"

Ha ha, cool, I like it.

[dwellerofthedeep]

Why? I once stated a group of characters, including their mecha (it was for a Mekton Z campaign) that I knew I'll blow-up at the end of their first appearence. I don't think that statting a character is ever a waste as long as it has a significant role in the plot.

Ah, shucks Woodclaw, ol' dweller really appreciates your perspective as it makes him feel less silly. To make up for the decreased level of silliness he wrote that last sentence as a sort-of pastiche of Seth from The Authority.

Designing spaceships is sort of tricky, but its always rewarding.

Personality Notes
Cosir Ko Fae likes her solitude, or rather, she dislikes living humans. She prefers to spend her time within her domain conversing with her retainers, the creatures of Agerel Forest. She is quiet and easily annoyed in conversation with other humans, but has patience like nothing else for the wood-weirds of the forest, and positively adores Hellion.

Background

Eight years later and she is still on the run, but now working with Enot Zai Boken and Malu Domru Sarem on accessing the Torus independent of Nightmount and Daybrink, using a tool known as a Sky-Ladder.

Description
Cosir Ko Fae is a yellow-haired young woman with some muscle and a pretty face usually concealed in battle by one of the puppet masks she wears.

The Hellion is a trickster, vicious but charming. He is an old being, but doesn’t show it in his manners, often seeming childish and occasionally even whiny in his simpleness.

Description
The Hellion looks like a bald human with skin white as snow, and stands about 5 and half feet tall. His hands are sharpened with an edge of wind, but otherwise he appears inconspicuous except for the loin-cloth being his only garb even on the tundra.

[Arthur Eld]

Doesn't Heroic double the cost of Minions, and thus shouldn't the cost for Fae's Devices be higher?
