Corinthian Posted July 3, 2007 Author Share Posted July 3, 2007 Wait. The only way you can really kill someone quickly and quietly with a Kukri is slitting their throat. That's why your character uses it? He selected the Kukri for the express purpose of slitting throats. Oookay... Let's be honest here, Archon. You're just trying to pick unique, special weapons to make your character look cooler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reclaimer Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 @ Rogue: I believe the Vault has a firing range (I believe I saw mention of it in an earlier post) so he could have trained for years down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master_Archon Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 No, seriously, curved blades kill easier because they cut better due to there curve, it's why the Greeks switched to curved swords after realising this after fighting the persians. A curved blade will always get a cleaner, deeper cut in one swing rather than a straight blade (thus creating less chance of the opponent screaming bloody murder after he's been hit, that's what I meant by a quiet kill). And yes, he did bring it to kill people/things, why else would you bring weapons if you didn't expect somthing to happen? Yes, he's going to slit throuts, what else can you do with a knife that size other than skin animals, chop wood, cut foliage, and get into head-on fights with it? Everyone want's there character to look cool every now and then, but really, I could care less, I could have given him a dull spoon to start off with instead. What do you have against a kukri? Even KA-BAR makes Kukri Machetes, they're not as 'outlandish' as you may think, is it because it's curved? If that's it...then...I got nothing to say.

Corinthian Posted July 3, 2007 Author Share Posted July 3, 2007 Forget it. You want to have the Kukri and the crossbow? Fine. But just remember that you're going to be very ineffectual with those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue Nine Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Okay kiddies, let's all calm down now. The fun hasn't even started yet and we're already bickering. M_A, Corinthian said that you can have the kukris, so that's that. Corinthian, he explained his reason, so I don't think there's any more need to debate. At this rate, I don't know if we'll make it to next week in one piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForceFightWMe12 Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Alrighty all. Let me say that you are all very lucky that I've been away for these past few days >.> Master Archon, this whole thing with you and overpowered characters has got to stop. Every single RPG that I see you join in has a character that has completely outlandish armor, weapons, and is - in essence - a very, very unoriginal character. You might think that the awesome skills and crazy cool weapons and the silent, stoic type characters are unique and, thus, cool. But I'm here to tell you now that I am at least a moderator - if not an Admin - on several RP sites and there are very many characters that resemble yours. This is what I call a noob-character, simply for the fact that he is overpowered and very superficial. There's no depth to these characters. You may want to prove me wrong, but as you can see as to what happened to Xan in Obake Blade, these characters are not well liked and do not become as important to you as you'd think they would be. As for the others. As Niner pointed out, a sniper can not truly be accomplished unless he or she has taken out several human targets in a wartime situation of some sort. Due to the fact that there's only one thousand people living in the vault - the vault that has never been opened before - there is not going to be a war time situation. You can practice on the target range, sure, you can become experienced, sure, but you can't be 'accomplished' unless you've accomplished something. And the pilot. It's true that you can pilot cars and ships and other vehicles, but you need to be careful and identify that type of thing in the character sheet. Keep in mind that the chances of him being an expert pilot in every type of vehicle is very slim. That would take an entire life's training, and perhaps more, given the complexity of any of the vehicles. I will post my character sheets when I return from vacation. Until then, play nice boys.

Corinthian Posted July 4, 2007 Author Share Posted July 4, 2007 Okay, everybody just sit back, relax, and wait for Forcefight to get back from vacation. No need to reopen the argument. If he wants Kukris and Crossbows, he can have a kukri and a crossbow. It's his prerogative. EDIT: Alright, I've decided to give everyone some basic, obvious equipment. Everyone, without fail, will start with these items: A Gas Mask, a supply of food and water sufficient for ten days, three flares, and $1000 in $20s, $5s, $1s, and quarters. You can break that however you like. Thanks to Master Archon for probably inadvertently reminding me of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master_Archon Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Um....wow, okay, your welcome....I think? Revised character, approved by the TM. Name: Johan "Svelt" Dagda Age: 28 Appearance: 6'8" tall 200 lbs [mostly tendon and muscle], slender - [he prefers the word svelt, thus his nickname] - but still quite sinewy and lithe, Svelt has white hair and vivid amber eyes. He's got the strong handsome features of his Russian lineage. He wears, a simple gray T-shirt, a charcoal cloak, urban camo military pants, tactical gloves, and tactical boots. History: He's a simple man who is a bit odd, but once he deems someone he meets worthy of his trust, he's loyal to the end. He's prideful, and a bit stubborn, but doesn't challenge orders. He grew up as any other person in the Vault, only he was a dreamer, and exceptionally tall for a child his age, and was often teased for this. As a teenager he spent most of his time practicing with knives, and other blades, considering there was little else to do in the confined spaces of the Vault. After going out and living on his own he decided to start learning about something, anything, and that's when he started collecting survival books, trying to live up to one of his many childhood dreams, even though he knew learning what he collected and read would get him no where in a place like the Vault. He eventually became a security personel for a short while, gaining some skill in gun handling. After that he became just another inhabitant, until recently. Weapon: Beretta 87 Target; Spectre Submachine Gun; Survival Knife Other Gear: Pack; Gas Mask; $1000 - [Three $20's, Two $10's, Three $5's, and $5 in Quarters]; Rope; Messkit; Magnesium Firestarter on Keychain; Canteen/Water; Compass; Decent Supply of MRE's; Old Survival Books, Nature Books, Ect.; Binoculars; Extra Ammo; Whetting Stone on Keychain; Four Flares; Humvee Military Flashlight; Spare Pocket Knife. Skills: He has gun handling capabilities between mediocre and proficient. Knife handling abilities at proficient, and technical knowledge of tracking and camoflage, but no extensive experience. He's a good/decent scout basically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForceFightWMe12 Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Prepare for trouble - and make it double! Name: Travis Gershwin Age: 25 Appearance: http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a240/BastilaRevanforever/Random%20Stuff/Fario.jpg History: Ever since he was a boy, Travis has been completely and utterly fascinated by the life around him. Every time he came across a new type of plant or a new species of animal, he would always want to stop and look at it, examining the different parts and and limbs. He received several bites and rashes because of his curiosity - curiosity killed the cat, as they say - but nothing too serious. That curiosity and thirst for knowledge carried with him straight through to his adult years. He ended up needing glasses after a particular incident when a peculiar flower popped and spat nectar into his eyes, causing light retina damage at the age of fourteen. Even so, he continued his learning and studying, taking excruciating notes. He's now one of the vault's most knowledgeable living biologists. Weapon: ancient Sig Sauer P220 Compact, a .45 millimeter weapon handed down from his ancestors. It's still usable due to the fine care that it has received from generation to generation. Other Gear: Whatever textbook he happens to be reading at the time, a notebook for his observations, two pens and six pencils (for notes and sketching respectively), a magnifying glass, and a Swiss Army Knife. Skills: As intelligent as he is, Travis is always on the lookout for something new, something that he's never come across before. He's in the expedition for more than just service to his community - he wants to find what interesting things are on the surface after the years of radiation. With his knowledge, he is a great asset to the team because he is able to identify all kinds of different organisms at a glance, allowing the team a better chance of surviving off the land if they need to. -=-=-=-=-=-=- Name: Katherine "Kat" Gershwin Age: 25 Appearance: http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a240/BastilaRevanforever/Random%20Stuff/Jewels.jpg History: Like her brother, Kat found her 'calling' at an early age. When she was five, she saw the first explosion of a bottle rocket, thanks to her next door neighbor, and she was fascinated by it. From then on, she played with all sorts of fire and explosives. Her brother - both jokingly and literally - called her a pyromaniac. There's been a few close calls when she was younger, generally when she was in the invincibility stage of her teenage years, but so far she's escaped with only minor burns. She's since then learned to channel her interests to something that's actually constructive. She heads the Vault's demolition section of the construction team. Weapon: hunting knife she generally uses to cut wire and such. Other Gear: Pliers, wire, matches, lighter fluid, items that can be used to create IEDs. Skills: Kat specializes in IEDs, explosives, etc. She likes things that go boom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
