STANDARD BIO-CRYSTALLINE MODIFICATION:

-Enhanced Youth: unbeknownst to Lont, the crystal bottle given by Princess Cadence as thanks for distracting her from marely annoying meetings, multiple not-entirely-secret rendezvous, and keeping her company among other helpful nights, contained traces of a highly experimarental elixir from a bygone era designed to slow, halt, and partially reverse some of the physical effects of natural aging.

Replacing the simple bottle with a decorative Empire crystal flask later on, the carefully metered dosage was increased numerous times to compensate for human physiology.

While whomever had created the original did not leave the full instructions on the exact composition and materials, Cadence was able to recreate it with some success, now greatly preferring Lont's roughly 25-year old appearance when compared to his true age, although it hasn't changed anything else.

 

*****

SPECIALIZED BIO-CRYSTALLINE MODIFICATION:

*Customized Crystal Wings: originating from extensive studies on Changelings and their eventual self-modifying hybrid genetics throughout the past 23,000+ years, the first Crystalline Shell, developed by Cadence in the late 19,000's, would use a carefully tuned variant of similar psychoreactive properties adapted to crystalline resonances and materials.

Basing modifications on the prior, numerous attempts by Cadence, later aided by Crystal Engineers and Runemares, to enhance a Shell's form were met with varied successes. The most common improvemarents increased physical flexibility, speed, durability, resistance to physical damage, and (minor) usage of Crystal Runes were consolidated into a standard 'reform' package. Due to limitations, an individual Shell was only able to select the majority of three and a minor improvemarent to two.

Additions in the 20,000's primarily focused on increasing resistance to esoteric harm from Eldritch, Otherworldly, and Planar combatants which had become wide spread throughout the lands the Crystal Conclaves inhabited.

Later in the 20,500's, selective capabilities to focus on increasing damage against one or two of the same were added.

Responding to significant increases of Construct probing actions, incursions, and limited scale invasions, the early 21,000's era Shells underwent far more extensive reforms under Princess Cadence's alliance with the Ethereal Plane.

Using knowledge gained from studying Ethereal Golems and other defense-focused unit designs, Rebirth was able to greatly expand protection against Elemarents and Construct weaponry. Most notably: Laser, Maser, Grazer, Plasma, Particle Whips, and other esoteric energy classes were thoroughly studied, allowing comprehensive upgrade 'reforms' to take place, both physical and philosophical.

Sometime during the Early Dynasty Era, Cadenza's exploration of ever more delicate or finicky crystalline materials, alloys, and composites finally achieved a level of mastery that most in the Ethereal Plane considered little more than 'experimental wastes of time'. Of course, the average Crystal pony despised the fact that their sovereign was slighted, sparking the beginnings of a (rarely seen outside the Kingdoms, later the Empire) feud that would last well over 3,500 years.

After fully retuning how each Shell functioned as a fully crystalline-organic being composed of material, held together by an individual's will, reinforced by the efforts of those in one's vicinity, and able to be easily refined through addition of select Runes, Cadence was then approached by a number of Archaic Golems and Acolytes, sharing their information and concerns. Determined to protect all equines against increased hostilities from other Planes, she (quietly) secured most of the Lorekeeper Orders, then in the Dynasty city-states, to eagerly study how her overall advances could be adapted to Crystal ponies as a whole.

Despite (moderate, non-physical) resistance from the countless Ethereal Councils and Courts, a small number of willing Crystalline Shells (and a tiny few mares, usually elders) underwent carefully selected and highly controlled experimarents. Under strict protocols and supervision by Elder Acolytes, Rune Knights, and the (then) extremely few Killknights that shared their knowledge of Rime, nearly all experimarents would fail. While able to reverse the processes and effects with remarkable clarity, Cadenza would shelve these efforts until the later 23,100's era.

Unable to fully protect Crystal ponies from increasing threats, both those within the Empire and outside, then coming under pressure due to Middle Dynasty expansion efforts, another idea would surface, that being a complete restructuring of 'what' a Crystalline Shell is, or potentially could be. Instead of growing and harmonizing a full copy of the original's body to be inhabited by the individual, three common variations would be proto-grown:

First was a winged lancer based on pegasi ambushers featuring exceptional speed augmarented with limited stealth capabilities, second a heavily armored Siege Shell based on Ethereal Golems for destroying large Constructs and fortifications. Third, a (near) full Crystal Engineering/Rune capable Shell was developed based on needing unicorn-like support staff for both campaigns and combat duties.

In addition to massive revolutions in alchemy and Crystal Runes, those three variants would be virtually incompatible with later advances, with most choosing to be reformed into the standard, fully functional Crystal pony variant as the Middle Dynasty Era began. Most books detailing those advances remain intact from that turbulent era, the Crystal City-State's numerous museums featuring thousands of examples, though all critical information remains solely with Lorekeepers and Princess Cadence herself, at least until the beginnings of new troubles.

While still stuck in Canterlot at the time, Princess Cadence returned to her earlier studies in the early 29,890's as the Tyrant started to resurface once more, and several Planes began opening hostilities across Tallus (notably the Dominion Disaffected, a number of jaded Vortex Warclans that were unable to compromise, along with outcast inhabitants of several minor and lesser Planes among others).

Firmly believing there was a desperate need of significant improvemarents to those Crystalline Shells still outside the Crystal Empire's incredibly protective shield, Cadenza's research efforts were, mostly, successful, despite having extremely limited materials and access to few Shells, all of whom were willing subjects. Sending them off to the largest Conclaves in order to 'install' the varied bio-crystalline 'packages', her final order before the Confrontation was that each Crystalline Shell was fully allowed to undertake any 'improvemarents' they desired, so long as the net results were positive.

 

This, her latest effort, is both a severely taboo subject and a resounding success.. although her most trusted advisors are still a bit disturbed at the moral quandaries of modifying an Otherworlder biped.

Using her own wings as a schematic, downsized of course to fit a specific human body, then imprinting the best samples of Lont's genetic material into an older, near-perfectly understood bio-crystalline substrate that would cell-divide in a slow, carefully controlled marener, Cadence would harvest only the most stable amounts from the growing mass.

Infusing the material into a likewise specific youthful appearance elixir would, over the course of several years, produce a highly functional (and fashionable) result, one that with careful monitoring and application would be proof of Cadenza's unique mastery and aid to Razorback.

...of course none of that happened in ANY way, shape, time frame, or form she would have preferred!

The physical stresses Lont experienced on Septimber 38th, 29,998, after inhaling a toxic aerosolized dosage of Ambrosia while treating a certain earth pony would kickstart the process at least one year in advance of calculations, causing a rapid, yet fully controlled, restructuring of the musculature across his entire back and shoulders.

As the bio-crystalline muscles grew and adjusted to compensate for additional weight and strength of his new appendages, Lont's shoulder blades would be fully replaced by a set of five highly flexible bio-crystalline cord-like structures, directly bonded to his most of his upper torso skeleton and musculature.

Due to being sedated far beyond Nova Flicker's abilities to wake him, Lont experienced little of the excruciating agony that occurred during the (estimated) hour long process.

Now, Lont features a pair of 8' long, 4.5’ wide, fully extendable bio-crystalline wings in a pre-mature stage. The endo-crystalline flight muscles are reasonably strong enough to allow for limited, albeit painful flight.

The most commonly seen colorations across both crystallize feathers and flesh alike are wavy mixtures of blue, pink, green, and red.

*During the turn Warp Translocate is activated, Lont himself is incapable of utilizing offensive abilities IF deploying an Ally instead of himself

*As long as a minimum total result of 10 is achieved, Lont or the translocated Ally are capable of immediately utilizing these skills: Assault, Parry, Intimidation, Block, and one Ranged Weapon-type roll

*****

UNIQUE SKILLS:

Lont's time spent learning from the fading Sharonel's scattered, highly random memories, and experiencing the harshness of Tallus has given him a deepened sense of respect for those whom prove true to their principles, while learning that those whom cannot respect the equality of power, honor, compassion, or gentleness have little understanding of Tallus world as a whole.

Thusly, Aligned Valor proves Lont's commitment to ending battles as quickly as possible, also using as little harm as possible, instead of living to merely fuck and fight, in order to return to discovering his new life.

And fuck.

*Roll [1d6] and [1d6+2], the first result being the number of turns this ability lasts, the second adding +X, where X is the result, to all Assault, Parry, and Riposte rolls

*Also adds +1 to ONE of the following skills: Block, Evasion, Reaction Speed, and Sprint

 

*Considered a severe degradation of various Tallus-borne species capabilities

 

Now that he has come to understand Sharonel's teachings, Lont has been guided to greater understandings of efficiency and selflessness, along with a helpful dose of caution. This has irrevocably inspired all of his actions, as a whole, to be more precise and fluid with the environments and situations he finds himself in.

*Adds +2 to all Medical rolls, and to ONE of the following skills each turn: Assault, Parry, or Riposte

TRAIT: Expert Mark of Sharonel. UNKNOWN. Only some of the original Razorback 100 understand the consequences and ramifications.

The scar left on Lont's chest by the soulbonded lance of Magnus, the First (Old Canterlot) Marquis, carried by Sharonel during their unfortunate battle in Old Canterlot left traces of Sharonel's knowledge and thoughts embedded in his psyche. As a result he was slowly taught the paths of power, honor, compassion, and gentleness, the fourmost guiding principles of the Solar Guardians. No, that reads as FOURMOST, not the foremost! There is a difference! THIS IS THE DIFFERENCE! LOOK AT THIS TEXT! IT IS CORRECT AND YOU KNOW IT! DO NOT ARGUE! YOU ARE WRONG! THAT PONY IS NOT STEALING YOUR THOUGHTS!

Having completed a basic initiation task to visit the Spirethorn, where Sharonel's full teachings were set in place to guide those that would come generations after her, and completing the challenges set within, the scar has sealed over after learning the aspects of being a philosophical warrior, the same as the now-extinct Solar Guardians were long before him.

*Whenever above 50% HP, Lont may roll a [1d6+1], the result being the number of turns this ability lasts while adding +2 to and granting two additional rolls from one of the following: Assault, Parry or Riposte rolls

*Mark of Sharonel becomes automatically disabled should he fall under 5HP, and he must be recovered to 50% HP or above in order to use again

*As an addition to learning from Sharonel's memories and gaining a greater appreciation for her kind, eloquent nature, Lont is granted Expert Negotiation as a passive skill

*Solar Guard/Guardians and various deeply related Solar-faction adherents know more than they tell, and share more than they speak.

BIOGRAPHY:

Lont was born on Ferrundus, a planet of endless plains home to large beasts and massive exposed ore veins. Like the average Ferrundii, born far away from the pristine, walled shore cities of skyscrapers, Lont had only a basic education to get him by before joining the military at 17. Through interacting with many people in all walks of life, he became quite knowledgeable, even if most of what he has learned does not serve a practical purpose. During his time of service in the Outriders, he experienced hundreds of skirmishes, eventually leading to a war against enemies in all shapes and sizes, from backdoor paid mercenaries with scrapped together exoskeletons to 30 metre tall mechanized robotics atop walking weapon platforms.

 

After an honorable discharge at Sergeant-Major, he spent a decade doing any and all jobs that came by, declining very few, leaving him with much experience and stories, some of which he is reluctant to share. When the fires of his Outrider spirit sparked his new career as a freelancer, he brought his motorbike out of retirement. Although refitted and downgraded into a civil vehicle, it served him well for the next four enjoyable years of his life, until his sudden fiery end upon meeting a strategic missile face first. Now, he lives as a vagabond warrior in an alien world he contently, and possibly prematurely, calls home.

 

Before the renovation of Razorback Fortress, Lont gave Krinza his blade and armor to refurbish, and when done he thanked kindly, since then taking up practicing in the Arena again, even hoping to try out his mettle against some summoned Constructs in the future.

 

During the 5 months of giving a helping hand with the rest of his comrades in refurbishing the Fortress, Lont realized his reactions in the past few operations were quite petulant for his age, after which a fit of laughter left him nearly pissing his pants on Khahlani Island's forest floor.

In his attempts to uphold Sharonel's teachings he realized he had blinded himself, thinking anything but perfect success was what he needed to achieve to honor his departed friend. Embarrassed with himself, he sought out Tipper, wanting to repair any damage he may have caused to their relationship.

 

With Spiral leaving the Fortress for an unknown amount of time, this left the aged man in a right disgruntled mood, increasing Lont's workload. During Razorback's several weeks of inactively Lont has: gone and visited retired Operator Bullsworth for friendly and personal medical visits, reading up on the Empire some more, practicing Alchemy, and crawling around the Everfree.

 

One night when he went into his room he found a package from Anon, and (of course) curious, he opened it. The squee of joy he produced from prying his prized Spiker from it's container could be heard everywhere. After taking a few gratifying test rounds with the altered weapon Lont was struck with an itch that only his Outrider could relieve, so he took to a drive around the dunes of Imeron, the frigid lands outside the Empire city-state, and even the grassy plains surrounding Canterlot.

The last location he popped into was Canterlot's College of Magic, giving them his bizarre alchemy vial to see what its properties were. (“Okay, I have no idea what the hay that hu`um TRIED to make, but it looked and smelled like a war crime. The taste was pretty good, but what it did.. aside from a few weird minutes like something was scratching my horn on one side, there was nothing wrong with it.” -unnamed researcher)

After this he spent a considerable time trying to find Ash Kicker, sadly to no avail.

 

To Lont's chagrin, he is STILL waiting for the last rune bowl, but will continue to remain patient. Although he is not one to talk being well aware of the nagging feeling of not getting fully involved with the Empire yet. And with every month that passes by, he feels his chance to do something is slowly slipping away, even when in mental contact with his cherished Cadence. However, every cloud has a silver lining, and hearing her talk of how she wears his Outrider badge out in public averts any knots in his stomach.

PSIONICISM:

-Indirect Offensive: Illusionary. This function allows Hollow to form an illusion with 3x [1d6+1] rolls that can be nothing more than an outline to nearly solid looking, depending on the total results rolled.

While the illusions may act and seem to 'function' normally, telepathy is utilized to allow the illusion to 'speak', thus making it difficult to convince other psions, unicorns using Arcane Awareness, or others with exceptional senses that it is not an illusion. This ability will not work on Spectral or Undead beings, while some Otherworldly and Planar beings can be fooled.

-Direct Utility (Mental/Expert): mind reading, grants 3x [1d6] rolls. While Hollow IS capable of reading minds, there are a number of mental and psychological dangers that can occur regardless of Roust's Shared ability. The target must be fully calm and otherwise non-confrontational, or both parties may suffer instant temporary damage, shared psychosis, or worse effects.

Hollow and the target can further decrease the chances of negative effects using Iron Will.

*Or getting stoned, that works well too.

 

The majority of this skill is single target and considered virtually instant when utilized (with an inherent speed of 40), granting a large number of offensive capabilities with 4x [1d6+2] rolls.

Evolution of Humanity is a primary action, thus he cannot use melee or ranged weaponry as doing such takes the entirety of his focus. Hollow is capable of utilizing Evolution of Humanity three times per Operation at current, four with Fury of the Hive, with no limitations out of an Operation otherwise.

-Direct Defensive (Physical): Shield. Much the same as shields created by unicorns, Crystal ponies, and other psions, Hollow's continued use of Psionicism has unlocked this previously damaged ability, allowing him to create them with considerable ease once more.

-Direct Offensive (Physical): covers both psychokinesis, the ability to create binding kinetic holds or harming an opponent in visual range with projected kinetic force, and Psionic blasts or shrapnel, which are concentrated mental energies given damaging physical forms.

These can be disrupted by Blocking, Evading, or attacking to break free from the hold or projected forces, and possibly using weapons to destroy the blasts, IF one can overcome their incredible speed.

*This ability may not work on some incorporeal beings, though it will function normally on physical beings sunken into the Underdark or Overdark if Hollow is aware of them.

-Direct Offensive (Mental): Mind Rape. This function allows Hollow to overwhelm a target with horrifying and disturbing images, sounds, and sensations to a single target, either close up or at range. This only works on living beings, and can be prevented with Iron Will, self-Negotiation, or the target being knocked out.

Using this ability against other Psions is extremely difficult, and will not work on Spectral or Undead beings. May be difficult to effectively use against Otherworldly and Planar beings, depending on their level of mental command.

-Offensive Direct Utility: Psionic Interference. This function allows Hollow to directly interrupt or interdict the abilities of other Psions, creating a chaotic static field focused on the target which reduces the effectiveness of their capabilities, and in some cases may prevent Psionicism from functioning entirely.

*Can be used against Casting and slower arcane processes with good effects

 

*All Warp Shift abilities are single target, excepting Void Tear

-Direct Offensive: Void Tear: allows Hollow to open a tear in reality between the physical spectrums and Void realms with 3x [1d6+2] rolls, either causing damage from the proximity of the Void itself, drawing the attention of Void creatures with the intent of savaging the target utilizing their own abilities, or other strange effects.

-Indirect Utility: Teleportation: originally an Evolution of Humanity function, Empress Silver was able to teach Hollow to use it properly, without the numerous negative side effects and potential harm to others or himself, as a result of straining his ability to open passage into the Void realms.

This allows Hollow to teleport himself or others in combat to avoid harm.

*Roll 4x [1d6+2], results-2 from each roll indicate the total amount of damage reduced

*Can also be used to teleport himself or others distance wise IN ADDITION to utilizing Block/Evasion/Reaction Speed/Sprint

*Outside of combat the maximum range is 1/2 mile and must be in line of sight, or 1/4 mile with having been in that location before

COMBAT SHARED ABILITY: Basic Vanguard's Fury of the Hive. The great amount of time spent exchanging information, sharing moods or mindsets, teaching, learning from, and simply being in the fairly chaotic presences of each other, has culminated in Hollow and Roust attuning themselves as a pair of Changelings would.

With Roust providing the split-second capability to ‘see through each all eyes and minds at once’, Hollow is able to tap into the Vanguard’s finely honed marental processing abilities and her chaotically charged, highly active and enormous reserves of Psionic energies.

With Hollow providing the exceptionally awkward, relativistic, and unhinged combat knowledge, Roust is (slightly) better able to deal with opponents which Changelings have had no historic contact with, or minimal planning against.

As such they are able to combine their skills, senses, and minds freely, allowing them more effective time in planning assaults against difficult or hardened enemies, fortifications, and (possibly) temporal oddities.

*When activated this ability adds +5 to ALL Changeling Psionicism & Evolution of Humanity rolls for the NEXT two turns

*This ability allows Hollow to utilize Evolution of Humanity up to four times per Operation instead of the standard three, though can only be activated TWICE per Operation, though cannot be used consecutively

*This ability may be activated by Roust or Hollow whether alone, separate, whenever Roust is asleep or unconscious, and has no range limitations

*However, this ability cannot be activated if Roust is in Shock or Critical status

*Adds a passive +1 to all Creativity and Warp Shift rolls, except for Mind Read

PHYSICAL MODIFICATIONS:

-Diamondine Reinforcements: due to the number of incidents over the course of her time with Razorback, all of them specifically involving Clemency suffering routine fractures, Tipper essentially gave up on threatening Twisted Wing to cease severely injuring him.

However, Tipper's unusually (for a pony) proactive methodologies of how best to prevent further Clinic stays involved, in rather ambiguous means, Razorback's unicorn collective coming together to pose a question, that being "What can we do to make this situation stop?"

The plan that came was.. rather simple.

On an opportune night, two pounds of diamondine went missing from the workshop, the Pegasi Tower was subjected to multiple doses of Ambrosia, Clemency was taken to the Clinic, and then unconsciously subjected to a rather extreme, highly invasive procedure: elemarentally infusing diamondine throughout Clemency's entire skeleton.

With more than enough competence at covering up their hoofprints, the unicorns of Razorback returned him to the Tower and settled for a round at the minibar with Allys, congratulating themselves on a job well done.

However, the only real change in the Fortress so far is that one less Clinic bed is taken up as often, and everypony, as well as some humans, have taken to sleeping with earmuffs on.

Flying with the 8 Ribbons required massive synergy between all individuals, not only to merely finish a mission, but to function as a cohesive unit. Those whom were incapable of doing so would not have the will to succeed.

During his life on Strangereal, Clemency was best known for his ability to open a path for elimination, and on Tallus, that capacity has been enhanced and somewhat magnififed.

The Wing activates whenever Clemency performs a max critical Assault on an enemy which automagically MARKS the target through local Airstreams, causing nearby Operators to gain +1 to ALL Ranged attacks against that specific target.

*Once active, Clemency's low profile and erratic, evasive movements eliminate the risk of him being injured by friendly fire

*This skill may only last for a maximum of 3 turns, though can be be used consecutively.

 

*TWICE per Operation, Clemency may attempt to Execute an enemy below 30% MaxHP

*WHEN attempting to performing an Execution, all of Clemency's Assault rolls are upgraded to <Execute and he MUST add +X, where X is the combined number of Trophies both Clemency & Twisted Wing have, in addition to ALL other relevant modifiers!

*Cumulative

*Current Trophies: 6

 

*****

COMBAT SHARED ABILITY: Expert Airstream. Twisted Wing has become much closer to Clemency upon giving him the opportunity to prove his aviator status and aiding her in sorting through her past, allowing him to see and utilize the Airstreams of Tallus.

*Due to sharing her intensive training and giving extensive instructions, Clemency is granted an <Airstream Assault ability that functions as an additional Assault roll

*Clemency must ALWAYS add +1 to ALL Evasion OR Sprint rolls

*Clemency must ALWAYS add +2 to ALL Assault rolls

*Clemency is furthermore granted 2x <Airstream rolls that function as either Evasion OR Sprint

TRAITS:

Death’s Peace (Lunar Moorite)

“What am I supposed to say to Clemency? It is impossible to comprehend.

I do not mean that I cannot, my dear, only these words may suffice.

AHEM.

I. WILL. NOT.

I. SHALL. NOT.

I. REFUSE.

Do you understand these words?

He gave them precisely what they needed, demarended, desired, and, perhaps above all, WANTED.

How could I compare myself to such a choice?

All I desire is that he leads them well, should he ever do so again. After all, they favor him in a marener that only Jeff may be able to withstand acknowledging.

He is no fool, especially not for the Ribbon which he represents so profoundly well.

He has honored them beyond any possible reproach. What must be proven in the skies, WILL be decided by his hands, words, or actions.

Let this be a lesson to you, then: none compare.

And that is terrifying to consider.” -Discord

*Adds +2 to EVERY roll regarding Batpony Discordites

 

Expert Aviator. Sharing the bizarrely near-opposite yet similar experiences of their worlds, combat training, and some life choices over the course of their time together on Tallus, Clemency has learned how to tap into the natural Airstreams as a native pegasus, batpony, or Gryphon would.

Heavily recorded throughout the past three thousand years, the Airstreams of Tallus are comprised of numerous physical, energetic, pseudo-physical, pseudo-energetic, and numerous wholly incorporeal ‘shifts’ that combine Gravity (often called the ‘Force Elemarental’ by ponies) and natural grand scale ecosystem functions which merge together in starkly near-organic, utilitarian measures.

*It is correctly presumed the Airstreams are partially attributed to the Elemarental Plane of Air’s influences bleeding through reality onto Tallus.

When compared to the jet streams of most human words, Airstreams are a conceptual reality: experienced fliers are capable of gliding on them through touch, sense, or instinct alone, while masterful fliers are able to ‘convince’ small portions of a complete Airstreams to change direction in order to aid their flight.

Unlike most pegasi, Twisted Wing does not cajole, commarend, demarend, or order Airstreams to ‘change’. Instead, she is simply able to locate the best ‘threads’ to find a path through, and has taught Clemency to do the same through mere tactile and existential feel alone.

*Grants 3x [1d6] <Inspire rolls which are used to improve Twisted Wing's normally (HEAVILY) reserved combat potential; on a 6 Clemency must grant HIS choice of either an additional Inspired Assault, Parry, or Riposte roll (up to a maximum of two rolls each), OR must add +5 to all of Twisted Wing’s Grandmaster Executioner rolls, up to a maximum of +15

*Clemency MUST always add +1 to all Assault/Parry/Riposte, Block/Evasion/Reaction Speed/Sprint, and Ranged rolls

*As an addition to learning from (and being the nightly target of) the fearless General, Clemency is granted Expert Iron Will as a passive skill

 

****

SPECIAL ABILITIES:

 

 

 

Whether surviving dips into the deepest sections of the Void, mile high or long shocks from Twisted Wing’s intense combat mareneuvers, and learning how to implement all of her freewheeling, full assault oriented Ferron combat tactics, Clemency simply does not give. a. shit.

*Clemency CANNOT suffer from the effects of concussions or shock, and will ALWAYS take 1/2 less damage from ALL Air/Force/Gravity/Earth Elemarentals, REGARDLESS of source!

*Psions of, at minimum, Master rank will ALWAYS refer to Clemency by this title, as they consider him a true EQUAL in this marener.

Punning like, living with, behaving like, and probably being a secret batpony, has driven Jeff's interests directly onto one sole object: the humble, gracious mango. Having observed it's tremendous under-utilization as 99.99% of batponies just eat them on sight, Jeff has come to realize their raw, untapped potential.

*Functions as Master Cooking with 4x [1d6+3] rolls, but becomes 4x [1d6+6] when Mangoes are involved

*It's time to cook... with mangoes!

 

Adds +3 to and grants 3 additional Assault rolls, OR adds +3 to and grants 3 additional Reaction Speed rolls.

UNIQUE SKILLS:

When in visual contact with earth ponies, Dante is always perceived at a -3 Threat level.

*The earth pony with the highest possible Leadership rolls is automatically considered to be the de-facto leader of current forces in range

*ALL earth ponies MUST utilize an additional Assault/Flurry/Frenzy roll of their choice

*ALL earth ponies must add +1 to all rolls, and all earth ponies take 1/2 less Morale damage

*ALL humans within visual range of Dante must add +1 to all non-combat rolls against earth ponies

 

Three times per Operation, Dante may select and MARK a target (examples include living or nonliving beings, destructible features of an Operation such as buildings, walls, etc. etc), increasing all offensive enchantmarents, Archery, Assault, Casting, Druidry, Mysticism, Psionic, Sorcery, Ranged, and ALL other offensive skills & abilities by +4 against the MARKED target(s) until the Operation ends.

 

Continually tapping into the fury of combat, Dante's focus and fighting capabilities sharpen in measured responses to the threats facing him.

*If any Assault or Ranged roll lands on a 10 or higher, Dante gains +3 to ALL Assault and Ranged rolls

*Furthermore, Dante may also grant himself and one Ally an ADDITIONAL ROLL of his choice, though this may only be done once per Operation and CANNOT be changed afterwards

*If Dante does not score a 10 or higher, he loses the +3 bonus until rolling above 8 once more

 

Once per Operation, Dante may tap into his courage and skill in battle, bolstering the willpower, exceptionalism, and efficiency of ALL allies nearby when activated, allowing the entire team to act more effectively for a short period of time

*When activated, Dante must roll [1d6+3], the result being the number of turns Lead By Example lasts while ALL nearby Operators, Allies, and Friendlies must add +3 to all skills, though this does not apply to any form of enchantmarents or items

NON-COMBAT SHARED ABILITY: Basic Smooth Talker. Dante has spent enough time with Pella and picked up some of her easy-going nature, as well as understanding how she deals with stressful situations and pain-in-the-ass ponies.

*Whenever speaking to any of the pony species, Dante gains +1 to all Negotiation rolls, or +2 if attempting to calm a pony down

 

*****

TRAIT: Basic Sanguine Guard. When the Empress found that she had fallen flat on her promise to remember those that would eventually be killed defending her, Dante's burial of the so-called deserters, in reality the heroes and heroines of Stalliongrad, greatly rekindled her appreciation for life in all it's forms.

Dante's former esteem with Esera, and his current companionships with Pella and Mist Dancer, combined with his reverent actions towards those Watch and Tower Guard members fallen in the battles against Councilierge forces assaulting Razorback Fortress, have given Silver pause upon finding another being that would treat others in the same marener she once did.

Inviting Dante to the Temple of Calm Waters, one the pre-Empress Silver purposefilly built for those requiring rest and recovery from war, she allowed him unrestricted entrance to the city, its existence explained to him through volumes and echoes of her past.

Finally meeting Dante him in the lowest section, the Crypt, in reality a transdimarensional location containing the grave of her closest friends, she allowed him to understand the true circumstances and reasons behind her self-imposed exile, free from propaganda, bias, and loss of historical knowledge.

It is NOT known whether she is capable of sharing this knowledge again in her lifetime.

*This Trait allows Dante to, ONCE per Operation, shield another from a killing blow with his own mind and body, magnified by Silver's unnatural resilience and Psionic strength being lent to protect him temporarily

*In order to perform the sacred duty of a Sanguine Guard, Dante must physically place himself in the path of an Operator or Ally whom will assuredly die and roll [1d6], the result being the amount of HP that Dante retains after absorbing the deathblow

*This act will most likely leave Dante in Critical status

*Note that this can be used to save those that are being targeted for Execution, under attack by Eldritch or Monstrous creatures/beings, or other typically obscene enemies

*Grants UNRESTRICTED access to the Temple of Calm Water, along with ONE other living being, at ANY time.

BIOGRAPHY: Pareidolia's past affiliations are unknown, but he clearly seems linked to whatever standards of discipline they had enforced despite being separated from them for nearly a year. Remaining socially silent, he only speaks when necessary and is often blunt in his choice of words.

 

He usually avoids conversation with other operators and most other ponies unless for operations, but has been seen asking Krinza and Tipper highly technical questions about the current state of technological and biological advancement in Tallus, subsequently being kicked out of the Clinic and Workshop more times than anyone, or anypony, cares to count or comment/commarent upon.

 

He has a personal impromptu study area set aside in the Library with numerous texts always arrayed across a number of tables, much to Dancing Eyes' (reluctant) displeasure.

 

Some ponies have referred to him as a human Construct due to his goal oriented, direct methods of communication and operating.

Seeing him was once a rare occurrence though, as he still remains reclusive to most Operators and usually remains in his room, either practicing on the Equestrian equivalent of the guzheng, spending time in the Library to expand his knowledge upon this new world, or in the Mess Hall at night, especially when there is a tea party.

 

Until recently, upon finding the normal staff of Razorback far too busy and mounting requests from other parties piling up, Zhun decided to file in and help the Fortress in a more direct way.

 

Has learned ‘Common Equestrian’ due to the language barrier quite early on from one of Spiral’s early Razorback teaching volumes, but the accent is still there.

EVOLVING ABILITY: Burst Shell. Granted by Empress Silver, ONCE per Operation, Bubba is capable of summoning a 4' long, bright orange, shoulder-mounted Construct cannon capable of firing a 4" anti-biological shell that utilizes 3x [1d6+2] rolls, dealing an additional [1d6] Bleed damage and causing Shock up to a maximum range of 1,000M, with a blast radius of 5M.

*The warhead, a Shredder-Type shell, is calculated to only injure living beings, though causes double damage against Fragile targets and Undead beings due to kinetic impact; however, it may not function correctly against certain Eldritch, Otherworldly, and Planar beings

*Shell does not function against Spectrals or other full incorporeals

*During the turn that the Construct cannon is summoned, Bubba is only capable of using one of the following skills to defend himself or attack an enemy in close combat: Assault, Parry, Riposte, Block, or Evasion

*Four Walls: 800 lockers, storage bays, depots, ammunition storage compartments, and other small rooms spread equinedistantly throughout the interior ground level. Once intended for all human and pony defenders to restock supplies in the event of an attempted siege or breach, few supplies were placed by the time Spiral's multiple psychoses overcame his logic and rationale.

 

*Internal Access: in the center of each Wall is an 8' tall glyph, viewable only by sorcerors and and now Bubba, which are partially stabilized to allow travel. This allows for rapid travel through a single connecting wormhole-like tunnel through the entire Wall around the Fortress.

 

*Tech-Forge Vault: a small, well hidden room accessed immediately to the right of Spiral's downstairs Lab door. Inquisitor Flash and Spiral spent a great deal of time jointly working on projects, specifically intended to prototype Tallus-made weapons, armor, and equipment, for eventual production.

Spiral made use of Flash's knowledge to improve enchantmarents and his own abilities here as well. A Tallus-made data server and Minoris Artificial Intelligence interface is accessible in the northwest Temporal Stasis Unit, prevented from decaying or being sabotaged by presumably near-Eldritch means.

*Tallus itself will respond the next turn, creating a moderate sized wave of flame with an inherent Speed of 8 that weakens armor; on the NEXT turn Tallus will disperse a number of large ice projectiles with inherent Speeds of 12 from the sky to damage, shatter, and freeze the target/targets

UNIQUE SKILLS:

Grants the Pseudo-Arcane spells known as ‘Deep Sight’, ‘Diminish’, and ‘Hush’.

*Deep Sight: reaching into his preprogrammed mnemonic recall, Stifle is able to enact a pseudotypical form of Arcane Awareness, allowing him to sense magical energies and beings, both non-physical and that which is entirely immaterial, within a 50M radius.

This does NOT, however, allow him to sense the presence of hybrids, resonances from Crystal ponies, Druidic, Psionicism, Mystic, Sorcerous beings, let alone any of their former or present energies.

*Diminish: by focusing on the doctrines of quiet, stealthy movement and noise reduction, Stifle is able to reduce his overall signature by (highest roll result-2), thereby blending into difficult environments with some ease.

*Hush: due to the years of study, controlled setting teaching, and raw capabilities, Stifle is capable of interdicting human magic, mostly from the Sorcerous standpoint, but can reasonably dampen Druidic and purely Mystic spells as well.

**DUE to the overpowering essences of Eldritch and Planar beings, or their effects, rolling a base 1 against either WILL cause severe feedback, automagically incurring [1d6] aggravated harm, which is difficult to recover from

BIOGRAPHY: Stifle was a rather quiet child on his own variant of earth, one where humans were not only capable of magic, but excelled at it to the point where science and magic were virtually interchangeable.

He would have gone through life being completely passed over, only thought of as an odd child, were it not for him intervening in an altercation between students.

Having ripped a spell to shreds and traumatizing the instigator by choking their 'source', it wasn't long before he was noticed by an organization that didn't exist, taken away from his home at the young age of ten.

Seven years of schooling followed where he was turned into a tool, given a designation rather than a name, and placed into a squad as the support element.

 

However, as abundant as magic was, technology wasn't abandoned. Not everyone had the ability to cast, and thus did industry thrive to supplement the magicks, and vice versa. After all, a gun was a gun at the end of the day, and would still do its job just the same.

Stifle represents the combination of those two to the penultimate; firearms and training to make even the most seasoned instructor jealous, magical abilities which ran counter to the natural order, and medical technology to push his body that much further.

Though, with all the resources he had available, there were no biomodifications done to him, making Stifle both the pinnacle of humanity, and, yet, shunned for his almost blasphemous capabilities.

 

His organization's purpose was simple: keep the balance in all things. Today's ally might be the next's enemy; the friend is the foe alike.

No one is above justice, not even (You). His directives are ironclad, and derived off of the tenets that his organization holds, which is one of the few remaining things from his earth that he still holds on to.

UNIQUE SKILLS:

This Empathic Link effectively soulbinds the item to herself and renders it a more distinct presence to Mallia, which can be felt even at ranges that shouldn't be possible for her current equipment to the point that the emotions of the Machine Spirit resonate with her own to uncanny degrees.

Other Operators and threats will have some trouble asking, demarending, or forcing a Bonded item to function without permission from Mallia herself, and becomes highly resistant to aggressive hacking/splicing attempts when in Mallia's presence. This version of Machine Bond improves Mallia's already strong connection, allowing Machine Spirits to interact with her in return just as strongly.

*Empathic Bond functions passively at this stage, allowing her to sense or feel the presence of Machine Spirits and Artificial Intelligences within the range of her MIU without having to estabilish visual contact, particularly if said Machine Spirits or Artificial Intelligences are experiencing particularly strong emotions

*Each Bonded Machine adds +1 to all Iron Will rolls

*Bonded Machines are easier to repair and maintain due to the instinctive communication of emotions and data-logic between woman and machine; as such Mallia must add +2 to all Tech-Use rolls when repairing or maintain Bondeding Machines

*Bonded Machines may, rarely, directly communicate with Mallia and will otherwise passively attempt to aid her; in addition Mallia can directly interact with Bonded Machines up to 200M away

*Doubles the Data Protection Engrams of each Bonded Machine

*Bonds Formed: 0/1

 

This applies to all Items/Vehicles/Weapons with a Machine Spirit or Intelligence that can form a rapport with the operator. Machines that can become Bonded must be utterly loyal, helpful (and affectionate) to Mallia before she is able to initiate the Ritual of Bonding.

*Machine Bonds are permarenent; as such this Bond cannot be undone, requiring complete destruction or corruption to remove it. Losing a Bond in this marener is highly traumatizing to the user and dependent Machine Spirits, and may cause Insanity if experienced enough times

*Additional functions might become unlocked once a bond is formed, mostly dependent on quirks and depending on the item; Bonded Machines may even develop new functions depending on the situation to aid Mallia. These "secret" functions may or may not be dangerous for the item and the user, however

*For a Machine Bond to be remade a period of mourning and rituals must be undergone to fully honor the Machine Spirit, until Mallia is once again marentally prepared to even think of a replacemarent

*Adds +1 to any 3 of a Bonded Machine's abilities or skills each turn

*Adds +2 to all Tech-Use and Engineering rolls for 2 turns, but on the third turn may only add this bonus to ONE skill before restarting the cycle

APPEARANCE: slender and short at a glance; standing at exactly 5'6" tall, Mallia looks ‘petite’ at first glance, not showing too much muscle or broadness on her body, paired with as much as rosy plump cheeks, wide, bright blue eyes, and particularly wriggly soft eyebrows.

 

Her hair is brown, short and wild; looking somewhat tomboyish, tufts reaching down her forehead at most. Most certainly not looking /too/ robust in her current state.

 

AGE: 24

 

*****

BIOGRAPHY:

 

Mallia spent most of her childhood at public hearings in the Hive city she lived in, listening to the heroic stories of Astartes purging chaos, the gargantuan deeds of the Ultramarines, the latest conquest of the Imperial Guard, the latest benedictions of battleships before they are sent off into the warp with their own battle-groups.

 

Both of her parents were Tech-Priests of a certain renown for their specialization in defensive fortifications and armor, though only one was ever present for her. Her mother, Tanith Castella. The father was called to participate in an Explorator endeavor at her early age; she never saw him, only heard of him. "I want to find him sometime! I'll go fight alongside him, for the Omnissiah!" She always said, much to her mother's chagrin as she was reluctant to let her go into danger, Mallia being her only bloodline prodigy.

 

Her childhood revolved around learning the way of the Mechanicum and generally being a menace to her patient mother until she hit adulthood, a time when she began the rites of study to become a Tech-Adept, and subsequently, an Enginseer.

 

Mallia was gifted with the charm of being very enthusiastic about her work, and she occasionally could be spurred into fits of creativity when inspired that would sometimes improve her mother's work. The Machine Spirits she worked on always seemed to be happier due to her constantly hard-working disposition, and she was a team-player; adept at working in a team without ruining the work of others with a blunder. She was as zealous and careful with what she did as she was boisterous.

 

Though most would curb her chatty demeanor until she fell quiet, she never truly lost the habit of smiling and being optimistic in spite of everything around her, constantly absorbed in her dreams.

 

During her time in training, her mother too was called to service in the Imperial Navy. This was around the time that she was officially consecrated as an Enginseer, and began to make haste in following her mother's footsteps. The Omnissiah would be with her, yes, but she could not bear the thought of loneliness one bit. She really, really didn't want to be alone; unfortunately, it is rare to find one's old parents, even if they are Tech Priests, in the vast armies of the Imperium. Though this never deterred Mallia, who fearlessly thrust herself among those ranks in the name of self-betterment, purpose, knowledge, duty, and hope. One day, perhaps. One day, she too would become like the legends that she heard so much about!

 

Mallia was a voluntary enlistee from the Forge-World of Mars within the Imperial Guard, as an eager but still very new Enginseer. She was a woman with a tendency for flight of fancy and boisterous behavior, so much so that she often received nicknames describing her chipper behavior. 'Chipper-Bot' being one that she remembers the most. A dauntless, brave Enginseer ever eager to do her duty even if it was as little as soothing the machine spirit of a door. Often seen cradling her Lasgun like a baby snuggles a plushie when she isn't METICULOUSLY maintaining it to the finest detail.

 

She had been sent on her way to be assigned to the Kalderian 37th infantry division, a light infantry regiment with their mission to re-take the distant Imperial world of Darrius Secundus from an Ork WAAGH!!!, and the remnants of disloyal PDF. She spent a lot of time in the warp because of that, her dreams troubled by its nonsensical visions. Nonsense such as talking colorful quadrupeds with wings and horns, or nightmares about the amount of time she'd spent trapped in a corner or storage room, unable to find a way out for days on end.

 

The initial entry into the planet's orbit had almost ended badly when the Ork fleet 'defending' the planet's orbit had almost taken down the Voidship she was on. Luckily for her, it was in that moment that she was assigned to her squad. Bravo Squad was a team of specialists, with a Stormtrooper as their lead, a sniper, and a heavy gunner backed up by herself, now a full Enginseer.

 

When their Voidship was boarded, their squad was the only one close enough to stop the boarding party and preventing the Orks from destroying the ship's stabilizers, threatening the ship to be prey of the planet's gravitational pull without control. This would have been their first, and successful start, as one of the regiment's most renowned team of specialists. With the boarding party destroyed, she completely repaired the stabilizer by herself and helped save the ship from an anti-climatic end.

 

With the Ork fleet routed, and the space around the planet under imperial control, troop deployment became quickly underway. They deployed via Valkyrie drop ship with their mission to be vanguards and scouts for the division's landing zone after. They were assigned a Commissar to lead them in this effort, Commissar Merrik. The drop ship was shot down by Ork fighters, though their Ratling sniper took out the last with their own sniper-rifle, killing the enemy pilot, sending them all on their way down with a Taurox and their grav-chutes. It was sad that their Servitor didn't survive the fall with the APC. Another mission complete with stellar results. Inflicting complete casualty rates on the intercepting Ork forces, destroying all vehicles coming their way rather effortlessly.

 

The squad received several additions and replacemarent during their time on Darrius Secundus, steadily growing, and replacing casualties. For a moment, the spark of hope of returning to Mars to boast her great achievement had began to grow. She was always confident, always the first to volunteer, and she was competent, always bettering her skills.

 

During one patrol mission in particular, Bravo squad met a band of Kroot mercenaries who had been stranded on the planet. They asked for aid in exchange for help, as they wanted to leave the planet but could not as the Sergeant did not have the authority for that decision. Later, after they'd left, they were ambushed by Ork Kommandos and she was grievously wounded by an Ork Slugga bolt hitting her directly on the hip, shattering bones and causing her to fall, nearly dying on the spot. While in pain, she lived long enough to return fire and kill the attacker with her Lasgun. With the help of the squad, they managed to wipe out the ambushers without a single casualty and only one wounded: herself. They, however, had to be recovered by another squad as Bravo Squad, while specialized, had no corpsman, and she nearly bled out during that time.

 

After they had returned to base she was interrogated by Commissar Merrik, asking for a report. Her truthfulness caused the Sergeant to be executed for lying. She wouldn't know she was the cause, as the sergeant had neglected to mention their encounter with Kroot.

 

On their last recorded mission, they were stationed near the front lines on a FOB located inside the local prison, a prebuilt fortress of rockcrete, towers and high walls. They were bombarded in the middle of the night, as a sandstorm had appeared without previous signs. This would be Mallia's first encounter with the heretical cultists plaguing the planet, and they had brought Psykers. What ensued was an pyrrhic victory for the Imperium.

 

Under heavy fire, Mallia advanced whilst the bravo squad gunner and sniper took position on a vantage point; on the roof of the prison. She was determined to be at the forefront of the fight, and so she did, advancing through enemy fire alongside her leader, Stormtrooper Vidoq. But after grenades were exchanged and a couple close calls, whilst looking like a stalemate, suddenly the Pyskers appeared. Summoning forth the ruinous powers to Possess everyone with Daemons, most of the defenders in a wide radius were turned against each other, Mallia included. She could still see and process what was happening, but could not control herself.

 

Only the commanding officer, their sniper, and their Commissar had resisted the possession out of the almost 100 defending Guardsmen while large, avian-like creatures began to screech towards them with white chainswords in their hands, and murder in their eyes alongside the cultists. All seemed lost until the band of Kroot previously met during the patrol mission joined the fight to aid them with their pulse rifles, killing all of the Psykers. With them dead, the possession was lifted, the battle quickly won now that all of the heretics had jumped to them, and had become prey to the recovered, 84 perfectly loyal Guardsman surrounding them with Lasguns and the gang of Kroot mercenaries.

 

Thus ends the Company's official records. An Inquisitor appeared in their dropship shortly afterwards, and several executions later, they were given a chance to continue serving the Emperor among their ranks. Their heavy gunner was also executed for his corruption, Mallia doubting this internally though she could not act or prevent the incident. On top of that, the Inquisitor and his retinue barred her from recovering the wargear, but most importantly the Machine Spirits; Mallia had been working on: a somewhat functional carapace armor and a pair of heavy bolters. This bittered the Enginseer to no end, but the constant threat of execution kept her in line.

 

Soon after they were shipped off into the subways of a now abandoned hive city to find the planet's governor, alongside the surviving platoons of their regiment, and Inquisitorial Stormtroopers, finding skeletons the whole way in. All was smooth for a while. Most of the Hive city they ran through was deserted, covered in corpses, and along the way they ran into sane IOmperial citizens who were taking shelter in the subways; and were willing to give them directions to their objective. It was at this point everything went straight into the Warp as a chaos beast appeared from a particularly dark puddle.

 

It all happened too quickly: her best friend thus far, Trooper Faye, a trooper whom she trusted the most in every way and had been there since the start, was ripped in two by the chaos beast when she took it head on with chainblade and shock maul in both hands. But due to their sacrifice, that of Trooper Emil's whom drew his grenades and tossed himself at the chaos beast in a desperate attempt to slow it down, they managed to gun the beast down and send it to the Warp once more, sustaining only two casualties.

 

At that point, Mallia knew she would die in that subway but she didn't admit it. The rear squad whom came to their aid was too late to witness the fight, and all they could do was bring back Faye's remaining Machine Spirits along with the Cognomen tags. There was too little left of Emil and their equipmarent to be recovered. Despite this, they were ordered to continue.

They ran into cultists every single step of the way, fighting tooth and nail as they became more and more worn down, losing squad members until they were ambushed by almost an entire subway station worth of heretics.

 

She saw her squad die around her while she remained to live as the last one standing. Stormtrooper Vidoq died taking shots for her, but even the Stormtrooper carapace could only handle so much as they were overwhelmed. They would not be able to retreat, and the spare squad could not arrive in time. Mallia wasn't intending to run away.

 

Her Incendio-class gun servitor was still standing, albeit damaged. Alongside it, she made her stand amongst the corpses of her squad and the pillars as cover. Heretics would burn, explode to frag grenades, and be turned to gore by lasfire.

Before the wounds would pile up, and her servitor would be destroyed, she came heartbreakingly close to actually surviving the encounter and living until reinforcements came, but an errant shot to the head would penetrate her lightly armored carapace helmet and finally put her down.

 

Neither the Omnissiah nor the Warp would claim Mallia's soul that day. Instead she would be delivered to a world that she could barely remember her own dreams of. Her passage was silently granted by a tall, haunting bright white winged and long horned equine.

*****

APPEARANCE: a physically fit, long legged (and somewhat rangy) young Saltic unicorn mare, thirteen years old and standing at 3'5" tall. Like most Saltics, her physiology is well built with the typical highly attractive features of: uniform neck, wither, saddle, and leg curves.

 

The high eyebrows, slightly thinner ears, a wider yet more rounded mareish snout, longer fetlocks, and unusually larger teats provide even more distinctions. Most ponies find Saltics quite fascinating, if not specially alluring.

 

Finely tuned muscles and slightly heavier bone mass grant some physical advantages over most Equestrian and some Germaneighan unicorns.

 

Her coat features several streaked patterns of multiple dark reds, browns, and grays, which easily blend into most forests, though the mane is a peculiar light gray interspersed with dark blue and yellow ripples, both of which are useful when hiding in bushes or among small trees.

 

Unlike either Equestrian or Germaneighan unicorns, her horn has a trio of deep spiraling grooves which provide nearly the same benefits for magical attuning or casting, but provides unique adaptations when performing certain schools of Casting, particularly Conjuration, Druidry, Elemarentalism, Necromarecy, and others, though completely excludes Sorcery as a whole.

 

As her eyes are a peculiar shade of bright blue-gray with wide, nocturnally developed pupils, some care must be taken to avoid direct sunlight.

SPECIAL ABILITIES:

-Basic Flurry: while rather common for Gryphons, Minotaurs, and other physically powerful, fast, (or both) sapient Tallus natives, it is rare that ponies ever learn capabilities outside of their own species. Feral and pre-modern Saltics, however, once enjoyed making use of their far greater physical superiority over most unicorns.

In specific terms, a pony whom has learned to Flurry is either strong or quick enough (or both) to deliver an additional strike, whether with a weapon, their hooves, a headbutt, or a reflexive bite depending on circumstances. (DISABLED)

*This grants Doctor Supernova an additional roll that functions as Assault, with all relevant modifiers or penalties

 

*Supernova is immune to the effects of Reviviscence Trauma and may only 'expire' upon reaching -20HP or less

*In addition, Supernova suffers 1/4 less harm from enchantmarents, Casting, Druidry, and Sorcery while under 50% MaxHP

STATUS: considered deceased during a purge of Everfree Efirates, his Ka (Soul) was split apart by Old Horn to give sapience to a herd of Pred-Elks, then his body was placed in Zoo's cave for safekeeping.

 

Over a year later, the Guide of the Planes, known as Vesali, forcibly 'convinced' Old Horn to restore Novus's Ka as it had begun affecting dimensions, Planes, and spectrums connected to Tallus in difficult to repair manners.

In her (later) words: "either help clean up the dragon shit everywhere, or piece this human back together!" Old Horn did so, restoring his body from the few pieces left in Zoo's cavern, and finally coalescing his mind together from the Pred-Elk.

 

The long term effects as a result of spending over a year acting as the cognitive-instinctual intelligence basis for the newly sapient Pred-Elk have resulted in calming the Doctor's formerly erratic breakdowns, allowing him to think and rationalize more clearly, though he is still subject to several awkward thoughts, emotions, and actions that may not be (entirely) his own.

 

Choosing to undertake an Operation with Kraut, Natilda, Snakebite, and Caliya to (hopefully) retrieve Vanilla String Cloud, a barely mature pegasus Scout hired by Razorback whom was downed by unknown means, during the latter stages of this Operation, the team inadvertently entered an Eldritch Scar of the Moors caused by one failing their map reading duties.

During the ensuing conflict of wills inside the Scar, Kraut's station wagon, once affectionately termed 'The Wild Ride', was reshaped into a 20 meter tall, Eldritch Android-Abomination bipedal transport using the limited resources available.

 

Using 20% of Novus' memories, thoughts, and physicality, along with the other four, as a template to allow Wild Ride a proper existence, the team was gracefully allowed to continue their trek, though the Great One's clarity, reason, and illogical in setting Wild Ride 'free' from her previous 'body' was (and will probably forever be) highly problematic considering her lack of space towards mortals.

 

The team eventually located a downed Construct Assault Vessel where Vanil's last signal came from, and it is here that Doctor Novus met his physical end. Suffering minor burns after being launched into the Vessel, experiencing the reality twisting presences of two Overdark Primal Titans, confined within a hostile Planar Vessel, then being subjected to the sight of imminent death caused by a wave of ash, boulders, and lava from the winning primal Titan, Novus finally lost his composure.

Executing Kraut at point blank range with his personal Kriss Vector Super-V in .45ACP, and subsequently destroying the engineer's spine, resulted in Kraut performing the Last Stand Protocol, an inherent ability of all human-descended species to perform one last desperate action against all odds.

 

Temporarily overcoming the fatal injuries, Kraut succeeded in brute-force salvaging the Vessel's four remaining stasis pods, Caliya, by then little more than a charred and unconscious body, a severely flash burned and half-blind Snakebite, and Doctor Novus, the four were translocated into the potential safety of Anon's White Room.

Not wanting a repeat of previous actions, Anon decided to send the team, minus Natilda whom did not take part in the retrieval, interred in stasis fields to Razorback Fortress for recovery.

 

Housed in the Clinic for a time, Doctor Novus, physically unconscious yet fully aware of being in stasis, was visited by Nightblade Hodch whom offered a barely remembered chance: the option to transfer into an equine body should the chance occur.

Agreeing, Novus allowed his ka (an equine word equivalent to soul) to be severed by Hodch, using an assortmarent of unknown artifacts, from his mostly destroyed body and set into a modified Changeling skull plate.

 

Translocating to an unknown blacksite, the pair meandered through the vast collection of stored equine bodies, ones which had their Ka removed, severed, or destroyed, specifically searching for a unicorn.

Eventually finding one, a young Saltic mare, that offered the minimum requiremarents Novus sought, Hodch once more used the artifacts in his possession to transfer Novus within the stasis-held shell.

Though the (INSANELY BANNED) arcane process was not without several faults and flaws, it was enough for Novus to permarenently enter a new life..

With ALL of the drawbacks, complications, positives, and appeal that could exist.

*****

KNOWN LANGUAGES:

 

*****

PHYSICAL MODIFICATIONS:

Effect #1: grants a natural (skeletal) 1DR

Effect #2: increases Snakebite's resistance to skeletal fractures by +200%

 

*****

PHYSICAL MUTATIONS:

As unintentional (and legally ambiguous) mutations such as these are impossible to control, the exact nature of each is random, though the power of an infusion, when amplified by an alchemist's expertise, ultimately determines the potential strength of all side effects or benefits provided.

*Due to these factors, Snakebite's physiology is now partially classified as Dracosine, an old Tallus word which encompasses all SPECIFICALLY magical or Mystical reptiles, whether sapient or not, gaining a portion of their resistance to the Elemarents

*Grants an AUTOMATIC [1d6+6] <Elemental Resistance defensive ability, the result-2 reducing that amount of damage from ONLY Elemarental effects, whether from items, Casting, Druidry, Mysticism, and other esoteric means

*Does not protect against solely Eldritch, Planar, Psionic, or Spectral forms of Elemarental harm

 

*Grants a natural 1DR

*Grants an automatic [1d6+3] <Resist Weapons defensive ability, reducing harm caused by purely physical attacks

*This includes enchanted weapons, though does nothing to protect against ranged weaponry

*The overpowering infusion still causes Snakebite's skin to look normal, for the most part, though even a cursory examination will determine it is definitely thicker and more resilient

 

*****

INJURIES:

*Due to the necessity of staying under heavy sedation, mostly rendering him incapable of movement to prevent further harm, Snakebite's immune system only operates at 50% of normal effectiveness

*As such he will require a heavy protein, vitamin, mineral, and essential fatty acid diet to ensure a minimal amount of permarenent scarring, as well as constant examinations for subdermal infections, even a hint of which will require thorough, rigorous antibiotic maintenance

 

*As a result, Snakebite suffers a -3 penalty to ALL rolls involving the usage of both hands and arms

*Snakebite will require extensive physical therapy with Nova Flicker's aid to fully recover from this

 

*****

PERMANENT INJURIES:

-Right Eye: Blinded. Snakebite has permarenently lost the use of this eye, losing 1/2 of all Perception/Scouting/Wilderness Survival rolls.

*Incurs a -1 penalty to all Ranged rolls due to losing some depth perception

 

*****

EVOLVING ABILITY: Phased Assault. Granted by Empress Silver, ONCE per Operation, Snakebite is capable of temporarily phasing into the Overdark for 1 turn, allowing him to choose from one of the following:

-Attack an enemy through the Overdark and remain at his original position;

-Propel himself using physical motion while out of phase;

-Be transported by the Overdark's influence to a designated location within 20M of another Operator, an Ally, or an enemy within his direct visual radius.

*Visual radius in this instance means either direct line of sight or having the confirmed knowledge of where his target is, whether by mystical or technological means

*Snakebite must roll 2x [1d6] to initiate a Phased Assault, and so long as he does not critically fail BOTH rolls, all attacks will occur normally, but if both critically fail then he will suffer a backlash, automatically losing 1/4 of his HP

*During the turn that Phased Assault is activated, Snakebite MUST use all of his Ambush, Assault, and Small Arms rolls without fail

*If not in direct combat he may also utilize Perception or Scouting

*May NOT be used outside of an Operation

*****

APPEARANCE: a white coated pegasus mare with serene emerald eyes and a short, flowing mane of simple brown, kept loose and free. Her right eye is kept covered by a simple eye patch due to a self proclaimed birth defect.

 

She is rarely seen by others without her eye patch and bandana, which she uses to keep stray bits of mane out of her eyes, and is in remarkably good condition despite the obvious dangers of her line of work.

 

*****

BIOGRAPHY: records on Sunny date back as far as two years ago, prior to that little exists, and she tends to be guarded about any questions about her life before that. What she has expounded on was solely for the purposes of assuaging concerns about her marental and physical fitness, which is in good order barring her defective eye.

 

Aside from the obvious impairmarent, the lack of depth perception led her to experience marely crashes during her attempts to fly as a filly. Sadly, the underdeveloped avian bones in her wings were unable to withstand the sustained punishmarent and have become all but unusable due to multiple hairline fractures in both wings, which impede use and cause her discomfort when attempting flight.

She makes up for this impairmarent through exceptional climbing skills, often times being seen sitting in places that would have been difficult to reach without wings, where she tends to stay if not needed or busy.

 

Psychologically, Sunny remains aloof from the ponies and other occupants of Tallus, especially the solar alicorn for whom she has a great deal of distrust and resentmarent. Oddly enough, Sunny displays a higher affinity for human company.

When asked about her social habits, she has only ever replied with uncertainty and a proclamation that she is unaware of what her questioner is talking about.

 

Otherwise, she is physically and marentally fit, more than willing to lend a hoof where needed, wanted or desired, and does so to the best of her ability. In cases of duress, she fares much better than the average pony, but still not as much as expected of hardened veterans.

 

She holds an aversion to taking the life of another, regardless of their crimes, perceived and otherwise, thinking and otherwise, however, she is capable of such when required, or ordered to. Sunny has no compunction dealing with Elemarentals and other incorporeal beings that don't fall under her definition of 'living', which she seems to determine on a case by case basis.

 

*****

FETISHES: "Bit personal, don't you think?"

 

*****

PSYCHOSES: Sunny clearly does not enjoy being in the presence of most ponies, though she will not say why. She is more than capable of working with them on a professional level, but personal interactions are beyond her ability to deal with comfortably without great effort.

Furthermore, she shows a great deal of resentmarent and distrust for Princess Celestia, absolutely refusing to be in her presence for any period of time unless forced, at which point she will become highly agitated and then hostile, but will not outright attack at the very least.

 

*Distrust, Minor: Ponies. Sunny is uncomfortable dealing with ponies of any sort on a personal level, remaining tense and flighty in any situation where she is forced to.

 

*Distrust, Major: Princess Celestia. Sunny holds a marked aversion to the solar Alicorn, becoming more and more agitated the more time she is forced to spend in her presence, though she will not say why this is.

EXALTED RIFT PLANE EXPOSURE:

*ARGUS BEHEMOTH-DESTROYER CONNECTION: on Septimber 38th of 29,998, approximately 5AM, Standard Tallus Date, Sunny and Mercy were dispatched to reach Basin Village’s claimed Arena, an original Pegasi-Batpony League Era version built during the 28,000’s. Their goal to shut down one of Marquis du Spiral’s first three Magitek-created relays was delayed by the initial presence of an Argus-Behemoth Destroyer pair, designated the ‘Planetary Invasion’ type by most Equestrian militaries, and an unknown XXL (40M in height) Repair model.

Shortly after their arrival, the unknown Repair model’s gateway under production was immediately assaulted by Mercy as the most critical target, though the Argus Behemoth-Destroyer pair were entirely preoccupied by their emulation, barely noticing either pegasus. This allowed Sunny an opportunity to safely reach the Arena’s roof, though she did encounter a great deal of simulated Construct wreckage and Melari bodies, which were discovered to be entirely intangible overlays.

Shutting down the Arena’s relay, its geodesically-designed gravimetric wavelength arrays instantly detected as offline by the pair, they immediately respond by powering, spooling up, and direct loading all of their weapons. Unlike single or dual purpose models, the Argus Behemoth-Destroyer pair carry a variety of improved versions intended to function as flexible, multirole generalist systems.

Primarily existing in turrets, the pair host a vast complemarent of medium range plasma cannons, long range green-wavelength lasers, extreme range unstable brown-red plasma missiles with a mixture of other warhead types, a variety of mine or canister deploying systems, and an older, highly reliable anti-air weapon relying on volume to fire.

*Most notably, the pair were seen producing recently copied, or possibly recovered, fractal anti-matter disruption weapons, a tightly restricted and almost never produced system, the last use of such occurring in the Kenfield Pass Incident. Only the Tower Guard and Starborn are capable of producing these weapons; neither will deploy these weapons unless specifically demarended to deal with confirmed continent-destroying threats.

Transmitting aloud at Mercy savaging the Riftseeker gateway, the Argus Behemoth-Destroyers’ request confounded both Sunny and the Spirit Walker, both of whom knowing Constructs were unable to speak, yet did understand certain direct phrases in Minotaur. With the pair seemingly unwilling to fire, Mercy demarended their surrender, which was, uniquely, refused. Politely, at that.

Lacking the ability to destroy either of the pair without loss, Sunny and Mercy would spend the next ten minutes extracting information, leading to them being shown the original near-realspace recording.

Directly put together from decades old recordings of a short, brutal conflict between 2,000 Constructs and 2 Heavy Assault Landers against approximately 10,000 of the inhabiting Melari (Moor cats), it ended with the deaths of most Melari and all Constructs destroyed.

Included was a dark blue leader figure, closely resembling an individual known Rakingbay, often called ‘Nibbles, the Moor Cat Heroine’ by the Lunar military’s officers, specialists, and elites.

The battlefield emulation was an attempt to reconsider the Arena’s recently restored conditions, calculating the effects of how its repaired state would have aided, or hindered, the Melari’s efforts against the vastly outnumbered, small to medium sized Scout and Repair models. Likewise, the tactical study was accounting for the general lack of cover, spread out battlefield conditions, and current environmarental factors exist around the Arena.

Explaining their situation, though quite poorly as the pair barely understand the vagaries of Common Equestrian, the pair’s sole task, program, and function were to destroy a Riftseeker inhabiting a sub-Planar space on Tallus, either within Basin Arena or nearby, which Mercy was able to, roughly, confirm. However, the pair did seem to take a great interest in archaeology.

Eventually reaching an agreemarent of neutrality, or at minimum an accord of non-interference, the Argus Behemoth-Destroyer pair accepted a request-demarend-offer to trade the Riftseeker’s total (estimated) weight to free a vast number of sapients, all specifically dating back to the Lunar-Solar War Era, from across Tallus, save for a recently recovered-restored-reinitialized young black pegasus.

Now in possession of knowledge from the Rift Plane that must be utilized with utmost care, Sunny’s overwhelming exposure to the raw nature of two specific Constructs is precariously balanced on involvemarent versus necessity.

*There are NO exclusions to this requiremarent!

 

*****

SPECIAL ABILITIES:

*While this ability is activated, Sunny will take on the aspect of a Ceranul, one of the numerous strange, yet friendly, creatures encountered by the Dusk Striders within the Void tunnels of Tallus

*This ability may ONLY be utilized twice per Operation

*For 2 turns, whether contiguous or not, Sunny is capable of phasing through up to 5M of solid material

 

*Gains an additional Assault roll for each length of rope or wire used, up to a maximum of 2 rolls.

*This restraint action lasts for one turn OR until the target is able to break free, after which time the friend/foe then gains Retaliation and must add +8 to all rolls for 2 turns taken against Sunny

*Until used, this Retaliation bonus is PERMARENENT

*Sunny may not use this ability on a target that is still able to Retaliate!

Due to this, her ‘body’, such as it is, can NOT be classed as fully mechanical, nor fully Eldritch biological.

*Grants a [1d6+4] <Resistance roll when in combat against Eldritch forces

 

*Forward Observational Heavy Lights: grants a [1d6+5] roll; RIGHT unit destroyed

*Forward Observational Lights: grants a [1d6+4] roll, RIGHT unit destroyed

*Forward Fog Lights: grants a [1d6+6] roll, RIGHT unit destroyed

*Rear Observational Heavy Lights: grants a [1d6+4] roll, LEFT unit destroyed

*Rear Observational Lights: grants a [1d6+3] roll, both units intact

*Rear Fog Lights: grants a [1d6+5] roll, RIGHT unit destroyed

 

An anomalous [REDACTED] system translates both electricity and Lightning into mechanical power, a result of knowledge gained from Novus and Kraut.

*As a result of her vastly low structural integrity, ALL solely mechanical repairs are 1/2 less effective

*Wild takes 1/2 less damage from ALL Lightning Elemarentals

*Wild takes an additional 1/4 more physical damage from opponents which weigh 10 tons or more

*Wild takes an additional 1/3 more damage from physical Heavy Cannon-class weaponry and higher

*Wild is rendered incapable of more than 6 turns of melee combat outside of a Scar of the Moors (including other Eldritch dimensions/spectrums) OR will suffer 15 Armor damage which cumulatively increases each turn

 

*Primary Priority: repairing Arcanum Sensors Array or external armor, internal hull, and motivator systems

*Secondary Priority: repairing internal cabin protection and climate control systems

*Tertiary Priority: repairing pseudo-eletronics and all other systems

 

 

Internally comprised solely from Tryptaran mass, a 1MM thin layer of flexible altsteel plating protects against common damage or adverse conditions. The 'head' is a variable unit which can be exchanged at will, from manipulators to a laser-welder to claws, or any form of specialized tool so long as Wild has a schematic for it.

Each one is 30M long allowing Wild to reach every section of her body, internally and externally.

*Grants a [1d6] <Repair Tendril roll for each

*As weaponry each has a maximum range of 50M, functioning as a [1d6+4] Rifle-class laser

-Armor Value: 20 Armor each

-Armor: 1DR, Minimal Protection

 

*The basic features are an integral omni-detection sensor array, a biological transmitter-receiver communications implant with a 30 mile range, sub-military grade encryption/decryption bio-software, standard recharging and access ports for most electronic devices and hardware, an unquantifiable amount of memory storage, and a code-locking system which requires certain.. "scans" to be made of an occupant.

*Grants a [1d6+4] <Arcanum Sensors Array roll

 

*May only be used TWICE per Operation or will begin causing successively increasing structural damage.

*When not in combat, Heavyweight may also be used to move objects or prevent injury to herself

 

*Grants 3x [1d6+5] <Nocturnal Composite Array rolls whenever ambient light levels are below 30%: OFFLINE

 

Able to analyze almost ANY electronic, magnetic, gravitational, mechanical, electromagnetic, electro-gravitational, electromechanical, biomechanical, magnetic-gravitational, and ANY prior combination, readings using Eldritch-assisted high performarence components

In short, Wild is capable of detecting the digital equivalent of a digital mouse fart within half a mile, or a short radio click-transmission at ten miles.

*Grants 4x [1d6+4] rolls to analyze purely non-magical events within a 10 mile radius, the effectiveness decreasing by highest roll result-1 per mile

 

Partially protected by a Voidbound kanpri sphere created by Spiral that absorbs, refines, retunes, recalculates, and renders radioactive particulates safe.

Grants an enormous amount of energy, far more than enough to propel Wild at speeds of 80 miles per hour and more, all the while communicating with every Operator in a 50 mile range, also functioning as a transmitter up to a 100 mile range, and performing deep scans on the environment.. as well as her occupants.

*Function #1: Eldritch-Android Suicide Overload that grants 4x [1d6+50] rolls, causing widespread Plasma and Radiation damage in a 100M radius

*Function #2: OFFLINE

*Function #3: OFFLINE

 

*****

#1: Piloting Module. A somewhat cramped (and sometimes cowprint patterned) semi-armored cockpit in Wild's head unit.

Resembling single-seat light jet and turboprop cockpits, the piloting module's interior is taken up by a spherical 'band' of shape shifting organo-metallic material, capable of displaying a 360 degree view of her surroundings to the pilot, as well as showing local scan information, radio contacts, and her assessment of allied health conditions.

*The completely non-standard racing seat, is a material which is neither cloth nor leather, and is probably not readily understandable. Rather comfortable, however. The multitude of strange controls, buttons, switches, levers, panels, and far more, makes sense to no one except Kraut.

 

#2: Shoulder Hatches: featured in both of Wild's shoulders is a semi-armored cabin for one occupant, whether human or pony. Housed inside both shock resistant liquid-gel compartments is a shape-shifting pilot's seat, capable of accommodating everything from the youngest of ponies to the largest of humans, and then some.

*Several storage housings for equipmarent or possessions is provided above, below, and to each side, while a flat biotech screen displays the immediate forward view of each cabin.

 

#3: Central Linked Fast Deploymarent Hatches: a pair of mirrored shock-seats housed within Wild's frontal 'chest' armor, protected by the same liquid-gel compartmarent found in her Shoulder Hatches.

*Storage is configurable by verbal request of the occupants to take the form of overhead racks, side lockers, and a lower storage compartmarent, while a pair of biotech screens project front and rear views of Wild's surroundings

*Each side of Wild's chest armor can be dropped at a second's notice, allowing the occupants the choices of being launched forwards via the shock-seat, rappel down a fiber-mesh rope, or set down with her aid

 

*****

UNIQUE ARMAMENT:

Though its design mirrors semi-futuristic weaponry, That Which Cannot Be Named had to make do with the poorly understood human technology brought into the Scar by Novus, Kraut, Natilda, and Snakebite.

Choosing to grow this small(ish) weapon design, capable of both accommodating Wild's weaker bio-Android hands and giving her enough power to surprise most (much smaller) enemies, this maximizes the short range potential but has unfortunately minimized range.

-Base Modifier: adds +3 to all Small Cannons rolls

-Ammunition Class: 30MM Short Cannon, Heavy Anti-Tank

-Armor Pierce: 6

-Magazine Capacity: 3/6 shells, no magazines in reserve

-Maximum Optimal Range: 300M with a -1 penalty per 100M beyond this range

-Maximum Effective Range: 800M

 

*****

UNIQUE ITEM:

Capable of propelling specialized packages or ammunition ranging from 1-50lbs, up to 6" in diameter and 20" long, to a maximum theoretical distance of 200M.

Obviously needs adjustment and extra refining in order to maximize its capabilities.

-Base Modifier: considered a Heavy Weapon without penalties, grants a [1d6+4] <Launcher roll which is ONLY used to determine accurate placement of the package(s), while the remaining rolls determine damage, including those of specialized ammunition

 

*Unique Ammunition: Tungsten Bolts, adds +2 to all Heavy Weapons rolls and grants Armor Pierce 4 (ignores 4DR)

UNIQUE SKILLS:

 

Given this, with the variety of opponents that a Witcher will likely face in their lifetime they must be able to rapidly and intelligently adapt to each new situation, changing tactics and weaponry as circumstances dictate, and matching speed or strength with their own.

Or, as Vessimir once bluntly put it, "Witchers are trained to interpret the flow of battle. What you do with that knowledge is up to you."

*When using the Light Stance, Adon loses 2 Assault rolls, but adds +2 to and is granted an additional roll to ONE of the following skills: Block, Evasion, or Reaction speed

 

*When using the Heavy Stance, Adon loses 2 Block/Evasion/Reaction Speed/Sprint rolls, but adds +2 to all Assault rolls and is granted an additional [1d6] <Heavy Smash roll that may be used either for breaking through defenses or to Stun.

 

*****

HUMAN SORCERY: Basic Signs. Taught to all Witchers, this extremely basic form of physical rite magic allows Witchers to utilize simple sorcery in the form of a Sign, a symbol drawn in the air that collects Elemarental or neutral energies to effect the physical world around them. Every 3rd turn, one Sign may be used.

 

*Untrained Aard: a kinetic blast that pushes back opponents. Allows a [1d6][ <Air Blast, the result equaling the number of meters the opponent is forced backwards.

 

*Untrained Axii: uses a [1d2]; on a 1 Axii fails, on a 2 the target is Pacified, becoming unable to attack, but may use all non-Offensive skills & abilities for 1 turn. However, it cannot function against those capable of Casting, psions, Eldritch, Elemarental, Planar, or Spectral beings. If seen used by ponies or other typically social beings, Adon will be regarded with an increased Threat level of +3.

 

*Untrained Igni: a basic blast of fire that damages opponents within a 10M radius, allowing a single [1d6] <Fire Blast.

 

*Untrained Quen: creates a protective shield that reduces a single enemy's attacks, whether physical, Elemarental, or magical, by 1/2 for 1 turn.

 

*Untrained Yrden: places an earth Elemarental trap with a 3M radius. Once activated, a [1d6] roll occurs when an enemy steps on the trap, automatically reducing the target's Block/Evasion/Reaction Speed/Sprint rolls by that result; if the target is capable of Casting, they also suffer a -4 reduction to all Casting rolls for 1 turn. This ability also forces Spectral beings into the physical spectrums for 1 turn.

 

*****

TRAIT: Path of Grass Initiate. Upon being accepted to walk the Trial of Grass, each prospective Witcher is given a concoction of rare alchemical substances to drink, notably Mother's Tears, Wildrye Juice, and Speargrass Sap, afterwards spending the next seven days in an alchemically induced state of mutation with further doses given.

Should a participant be one of the lucky three in ten, or less in some cases, to survive, their physiology will be permanently altered, gaining increased physical strength, speed, an unnatural resistance to poisons and toxins, the ability to accept symbiotization with little harm, and, of course, gaining the trademark golden cat eyes of a full fledged Witcher.

*Adon must add +1 to all Alchemy, Assault/Parry/Riposte, Block/Evasion/Reaction Speed/Sprint rolls

*Immune to Disease

*Adon only takes 1/2 of all Arcane Poisoning, rounded down

TRAIT: Basic Legacy of Carolus Rex. Charles the XII, A.K.A. Carolus Rex, was King of the Swedish Empire from 1697 to 1718. Well versed in the arts and principles of war, history, and oration, Carolus Rex was an impressive leader and excellent tactician.. he was, however, utterly blind to the fates of those men that lived and died under his command.

While instrumental in reforming the Empire's political system to benefit the common man, he was often blinded by undersight, favoring the kingdom as a whole instead of regarding the personal state of individuals.

He became well known for this saying: "I have resolved never to start an unjust war, but never to end a legitimate one except by defeating my enemies." This fits well with Swe himself, as he has the marked distinction in both Anfang and Gryphon Vale for being nearly the same form of leader that Carolus Rex was.

TRAIT: Traces of Undeath. Due to the unique circumstances of his demise, Fuoco's mind remains fully intact with all of his cognitive abilities, allowing him to function similarly as he did in life, with none of the pesky side effects of mortality such as hunger, dehydration, disease, hangovers, or headaches. This leaves him in a rather precarious situation despite the obvious benefits of undeath, seeing as how being a human skeleton animated by dissimilar, otherworldly arcane energies in a land full of hooves meant for crushing and antagonistic elemental alignments would be the very epitome of 'bad end' were he not already dead. Fuoco takes 1/4 less damage against piercing, Air, Fire, Lightning, and Water elemental attacks, and cannot be affected by Confusion or Poison. However, Fuoco also takes 1/4 damage more from crushing, Acid, Ice, Earth, Void, and Ethereal elemental attacks, and suffers additional detrimental effects from Silence and Pacify. After being destroyed, he may revive himself with a [1d6] <Death's Refusal roll once per Operation, the result being the amount of HP he is left with, though Fuoco's remains must be collected or otherwise close together in order for him to reassemble.

None of the ponies speak Norwegian, none of them know what a 'Norway' is, yet all of them are here at this fortress also filled with humans from other worlds dissimilar to his own. He would like nothing more than to go back and help fight the fucking commies invading his country and die again, taking as marely of those red army sons of bitches with him as he could, but it seems the gods have decided to put him in a world of magical talking horses, catbirds, and reindeer instead.

APPEARANCE: RC-1129 is outfitted with the standard Katarn-class Commando armor, including a large backpack which holds his various types of explosives and ammunition, displaying his designation on the back - "29". His helmet features two red vertical stripes, with red accents appearing on the rest of his armor. While the armor is usually white in appearance, 29's is instead a light grey, the uniform color of Raven Squad, and has a slight dusty brown tinge with flecks of dirt over almost all exposed areas of the armor, kicked up by the many, many explosions he has both encountered, and caused. He bears a large black wing on each pauldron, indicating his (former) membership of Raven Squad.

Currently, much of his armor sports large cracks, dents and other cosmetic and structural signs of heavy damage sustained from being brought to Tallus, severely hindering its effectiveness as protecting Thunder from damage. His helmet and visor are mostly intact, sustaining, at worst, a few small dents and cracks. In the armor on his right forearm is a datapad which he uses for keeping lists, records, and any other intel-based uses he can find for it.

The Katarn-class armor can be removed, a difficult but doable task, near impossible for anyone but the individual wearing the armour, with a black vacuum undersuit worn below it. Underneath the helmet, he looks young, with short black hair, brown eyes and little to nothing in terms of facial hair, looking much like a younger Jango Fett, for obvious reasons.

 

Age (Physical): 20 years

Age (Time): 11 years (9 years of training at double growth rate)

 

*****

While he knows he is a strong fighter, he almost dreads having to go solo if not absolutely necessary, as the Commandos are taught to co-operate and work together above all else. He does not have experience in a leading role, either. As such, whenever possible, he will work with, and be led by someone else. Given his deep-seated dependence on teamwork and his training to think of himself as but a single component of a greater collective (i.e his squad), his self confidence is largely drawn from the faith his allies have in him.

 

Having come from a world where technology is advanced and interplanetary travel is effortless, he believes some strange event has left him on a primitive world, and aims to return to the Republic and to his brethren. Little does he know the impossibility of such a task.

*****

KNOWN LANGUAGES:

-Gryphon: can read, speak, and write in the modern dialect fluently.

 

*****

PHYSICAL MODIFICATIONS:

-Living Runic-Steel Forearms: due to the infestation caused by Simon's sais, the flesh of both of his lower arms was replaced by the master smiths of the Vale, using the same rune-steel 'forging' process that Huntsmaster Cu'Nir underwent on her wings. Both arms have a natural 1DR, add +1 to all Melee rolls, and grant an extra Block roll.. however, they ARE composed of steel, and despite the source they're considerably more affected by various elemental effects: suffering 1/4 more damage from Fire elemental harm which burns his non-metallic parts, takes 1/4 more damage from Ice elemental harm as the runic-steel constricts, causing collateral damage to the rest of his arms, and 3/4 more damage from Ethereal harm, which may cause violent Void spillage if caused by Ethereals. Due to these factors, damage from Ice, Fire, or Ethereal sources require an extended amount of time to repair.

 

*****

EVOLVING ABILITY: Void Gate. Granted by Empress Silver, ONCE per Operation, Simon may summon a miniature gateway from the Void spectrums directly into the physical realm of Tallus above a single enemy, within direct line of sight, utilizing 3x [1d6+2] rolls that immediately deliver a series of arcane bolts onto that enemy that ignore 1/2 DR, and will dissipate afterwards. NOTE: during the turn that the Void Gate is summoned, as the focus needed to call the Void to Tallus is high, Simon may only utilize Block and Perception. If he is not in direct combat, then he may also utilize Ambush if already in Stealth, but doing so will break Stealth. May not be used outside of an Operation.

COMBAT SHARED ABILITY: Basic Dove Couple. Simon and Cu'Nirs time spent together has brought them through many intense moments, each learning valuable lessons and practices from the other. Although the pair are strong, heavily independent individuals, an immense bond has developed between them through hunting, fighting, intercourse, physical and mental pain, and intercourse, all of which have granted the two into wholly new outlooks on life. When together, both Simon and Cu'Nir must add +1 to all non-combat rolls, whether in an Operation or not.

 

*****

TRAIT: Basic S.A.S. Veteran. Simon's time in the S.A.S., 141, and dealing with the inhabitants of Tallus has imparted him with the skills to effectively concentrate on multiple targets while simultaneously engaged with another, allowing him to fight in close quarters with a wide range of weaponry. This ability adds +1 to all Melee and Ranged rolls when using Combined Arms, or Melee and Ranged on their own. When engaged with a target, Ghost is able to use his S.A.S. delegation skills on a sepaerate enemy, Marking them to others for swift elimination using 2x [1d6] rolls, wherein the the lower result determines the number of turns the mark lasts, the higher result then being added to all Melee & Ranged rolls against the targeted enemy.

*****

APPEARANCE: Simon is a Caucasian male, with lightly tanned skin. Several small scars are dotted around his face, torso and upper arms. His upper arms are both black, them being where the Void infestation is being contained. Any scars that used to be on his forearms have disappeared due to the containment process he underwent at a forge in the Vale. As a result of this procedure, his forearms are a metallic silver, not just in appearance, with several containment runes embedded in them. From his fingers stem short but not useless claws.

 

His eyes are hazel, and his hair is light brown and short. His facial hair is kept clean shaven, if not, minor stubble at most. On his chest, a large and deep scar trevels from his right shoulder to close to the center of his chest, a mark obtained in his first hunt with Cu'Nir, inflicted by the Drake the pair hunted down, a permanent reminder of how the defining chapter of his personal story began.

 

*****

AGE: 25. Age upon arriving on Tallus: 23.

 

*****

BIOGRAPHY: Having arrived in Tallus after being betrayed by General Shepherd, Ghost is an ex-SAS, ex-Task Force 141 operative. For a long time after he arrived on Tallus, he found himself with nothing to do and little to no importance, spending his time doing nothing but uselesslly patrolling the Fortress wall trying to kill time. This all began to change when he met Cu'Nir, the Huntsmaster of the Vale, who approached him and asked for help in tracking down some prey.

The night the two met, Ghost quickly took her up on the request for help, happy to have something to do. As they went to work setting a trap for the prey, Ghost began to feel a connection stronger than any he had in the past. He'd always had respect for those he fought with, but something felt just a little different this time. The hunt ended with the two taking down a Regal Maned Drake, with Ghost sustaining a large wound to the shoulder. With a taste of his blood from cleaning the wound exciting her, Cu'Nir made the remainder of the night very interesting...

 

He had a pair of void enchanted sai made from the Drake's scales, and due to the Rune-Forgers choosing the use of a unique Void capacity, it soon infested his arms, the only way to fix the problem being to undergo the grueling and almost fatal procedure of having the flesh stripped from his forearms and having it replaced with living metal. However strong he was, he has no doubt that he would have stood no chance at surviving it if Cu'Nir hadn't been there to help him through.

Afterwards, he confessed his love for her, a feeling she shared for him. He revealed his name to be Simon Riley, and later, his past, involving brainwashing, madness, three betrayals, and the slaughter of his entire family. She helped him put the past behind him and move on, ridding him of any lingering parts of the ruthless monster that he used to be. He completely abandoned the old balaclava, keeping it for the memories and sentiment.

 

While exploring the ruins found in the digsite, Simon was heavily injured and fell into a coma, in which he relived some of the things he did with Task Force 141. Before long though, the dream shattered, and he was convinced that he was dead. However, he survived, and while Cu'Nir reacted calmly, he could do no such thing, bursting into tears for the first time in decades and pulling her close, terrified at the thought that he had lost her. The following day, he proposed to Cu'Nir, set to become the first human to propose to a native of Tallus, and bring life back to the tradition of marriage, old and unpracticed in the Vale, an event of which news is likely to travel far and wide. After all he has been through, the Vale is the first place Simon has ever been happy to call his home.

While it may not seem that events on Earth, past and current, concern him, he deeply desires to know how World War Three ended, and more specifically, how Soap, Price and the rest of Task Force 141 fared after his and Roach's deaths.

 

*****

RELATIONSHIP: Cu'Nir (Engaged). Cu'Nir is the kindest person Simon could ever have hoped to meet, and he believes he owes a debt to her that he can't hope to repay for everything she's done. The two have both changed each other for the better, and spend little time apart. While he doesn't doubt that she can defend herself, the thought of losing her scares him deeply, having learned the hard way that nobody is invincible. As such, he is quick to anger when threats are made against her, and attempts to cause her harm that show signs of success effectively act as his "Berserk Button".

 

*****

STATUS: left with Cu'Nir left for the Grand Hunt. Due to recent events surrounding them it is unknown if they will return to the Vale, or Razorback, when the Hunt is over.

1: ENRAGE: the target is enraged for 1 turn, and must roll a [1d2] to determine whom it attacks. A result of 1 indicates the target attacking itself, a result of 2 indicating the target attacking the closest object, whether enemy or friendly

2: INDIFFERENT: no effect

3: ANXIETY: the target suffers a -3 penalty to all rolls

4: DOUBT: the target's last skill used is disabled for 3 turns

COMBAT SHARED ABILITY: Basic Crystalline Focus. Once per Operation, Naliyna and Thrill, whether separate or alone, may roll a [1d6] <Crystal Focus, the result being the number of turns +1 is added to ALL rolls, whether combat or non-combat related. This also grants Naliyna and Thrill a passive Basic Singing+1 skill, allowing them to Entrance or stir a crowd, though they cannot move while doing so, with the higher the result, the broader and greater the effects. This may also be used to sway a crowd, making it easier to suggest their own ideas and opinions.

 

*****

TRAIT: Basic Recruitment Drive. Thrill's experience with Big Boss's refusal to merely take prisoners led to a standard protocol of Mercenaires Sans Frontieres convincing combatants to join their ranks, and when combined with indepth knowledge of pony psychology and dealing with personal trauma, gleaned from Naliyna's history along with meeting her family, that knowledge has given him some insight into the minds of Tallus natives.

*As a side effect of his newfound knowledge, Thrill must also add +1 to all Bartering, Human/Pony Relations, or Negotiation rolls, only when dealing with ponies of course

*ONCE per Operation, Thrill may make an offer to a captured or downed Tallus native with a [1d6+1] roll, a result of 2 causing the target to act disdainful or in disbelief, with successively higher results instead trading vital information or gifts instead

*However, a result of 6 will recruit the target as a full Ally

*Between Operations this ability may only be used up to 2 times
