Author Topic: Vanguard  (Read 3240 times)

Vanguard is the hot new FORUM SPACE ADVENTURE on the block that I'll be working with.


As for a brief Background:
The Ulster Force, a military alliance from several planets made with the purpose of securing interplanetary interests that are sought out by unworthy factions. You are a soldier partaking in a strike against the enemy fleet over a barren wasteland system, which will later be terra-formed into a habitable mining planets. A large amount of money has been spent towards the secure of these mines. The extra incentive would be that the planets carry minerals and ores used for high-grade weaponry which would be dangerous in the wrong hands.

The Combat consists of you forumers picking a number between 1 and 6, and me rolling a die. The roll will determine the outcome of every action related to combat, from dodging a grenade to not getting your face mangled. It's possible I will ask for multiple numbers to expedite combat scenes.

Characters can be submitted, but do not have to follow a strict form. Races can also be suggested to add to the depth of the character creativity. It's fine to submit either a character or race individually. The general template for races is as follows:
Again, this is a general template but not a forced one. Work around with it so that it suits your taste or don't use it at all if you prefer.

Disclaimer: I'm not obligated to add in your character or race if I don't like it. I don't know how you could forget up so bad as to make me hate it but hey. I'm also free to alter the races (no big changes, simply colot changes to fit the style)

For character submissions, your character must have a name, race, and profession. Age, backstory, and additional things you want to add for fun are fine also.
For race submissions, I'll need the name of the race, planet, backstory, and any special racial abilities (within reason)


And now the actual adventure

You awake in an orbital drop pod.


The shielding slides open and gives you enough room to stretch as you walk out. You can see that the hole your pod made after its drop in the cave has been covered.

Ahead of you is what looks like a supply box, likely sent down to the planet along with you.

If you have an questions or if I've made any errors just let me know so i can add it to the OP. A banner would be appreciated also *nudge nudge*

You appear to be wearing some sort of armored exoskeleton suit.  If this is the case, run a hardware check to make sure all of the servomotors and support systems are functioning.

After that check the supply box for weapons or anything useful.

Empty box, then punt it offscreen

It's a regular suit of armor. Your vitals and armor is intact.
After that check the supply box for weapons or anything useful.
Empty box, then punt it offscreen

You open the crate and find a pistol and a red blade. The box is too sturdy to punt across the cave.
You inevitably get the idea to walk outside yourself, seeing as the walls could cave in at any point.
After traveling for a length, you come across some interesting constructs. One would be a fighter from the Ulster Force. Ahead you see some peculiar green ship planted perpendicular to the ground. Aslama must be your enemy this time around. You also hear gunshots in your immediate vicinity (to the right of you)

pass the controller to luther
Investigate the gun shots.



You approach the direction that the shots came from and see two Aslama betwixt several supply crates. You duck behind the largest one (conviniently, everything is the same color)

You hear the smaller one talking Asul and turn your translator on:
"With this last round we'll be done with the looting."
"We're always left last on the scavenge. You'd think that they would've gave us a break, the battle is just recently finished."
"No point in complaining when you get these high-grade Ulster weapons."
"Spoils of victory, huh?"

What will you do?

Wait for the nearest Aslama sucker to wander by, take him hostage, blast his friend when he considers headshotting you like in the movies, execute the hostage, loot the bodies.

EDIT: Heres a character, I guess.



Race: Either a human or a yellow robot.

try resizing it to 20%, or 27x34 first

Yeah.

That and follow the submission guides.

Also I need one more action suggestion and we'll begin our rolls with that. 1-6

shoot the one with the raised pistol in his center mass and incapacitate him.  then choot the other guy.

Attempt to Mozambique Drill the second guy(Two in the chest, one in the head) and then attempt to do the same for the survivor.
