Ellen is the face. A lying, charming, manipulative sex goddess that can make you think driving a knife into your cortical stack is a great decision. You and the other PCs are pretty much going to be her loyal servants. She also has some skill in unarmed combat, and a little bit in kinetic and beam weapons. Also, a catgirl. And a Psi.

She wants two things: power, and control over a Pandora Gate.

Nothing bad can come of this.

EDIT: Hey guys, I hear there's a Pandora Gate on EARTH that the hypercorps don't control!

Dracorion · 05-23-2010, 08:40 PM

Yep. The Earth Gate is the one she wants, actually.

Her plans aren't that bad, really. Not worse than anything else going on the in solar system, anyway. She pretty much only wants a Gate so that if everyone starts killing each other/the TITANs come back/she gets bored she can have a way out.

Also, for money.

Krogo--NotSure--Swordy guy
Overcast--Daniel--Gunny guy
Rapter--Damien--Uh... Octopus thing with lots of random knowledge and I guess poison claws.
Dracorian--Ellen--People person
Henric--Aerozord--Astroboy.

Krylo · 05-23-2010, 08:43 PM

Arhra--Tyrfing--Tech Guy/unfinished
Me--Lind--Ridiculous Hacker

Double posted 'cause of limit on uploads.

Everyone but Arhra and Gem seems to be good/done now.

Aero--you might notice I took away sense. It is because you can't use it (need psi) and you needed to drop the points. Also your language skill went up because it's 70+INT for free.

Why, I notice a conspicous similarity between your character and a certain Slayer! What was his name, now? I.... Im.... Oh, I don't know. You know whom I'm talking about. Anyway, a fascinating coincedence, that. And I'm sure that said Slayer didn't inspire Ellen AT ALL, when you saw how effective a manipulator could be.

Still, advice, from one manipulative bastard to another: Pick you battles. Don't go all-out, because you'll fail, eventually, and then you'd be rather screwed, I imagine. Hell, the only thing you character seems to be good at is screwing over her own team, so don't count on people holding back on the whole "slaughtering the manipulative bitch" thing, should you mis-step.

Now, excuse me while I max out my Will aptitude.

JUST NOTICED THIS, ALSO FORGOT THAT YOU HADN'T REDONE YOURS YET!

Welp.

Interface-35 CP (You put me at 55 but it is 35 because I added one of the +10 to any skills due to me faction)

I subtracted 20 from the end result of my count for your used CP in skills to account for the two +10s.

Quote:

Networking-I 40 CP (You gave me a 60 CP here because I put it at 70, but it is 40 because my faction allows me a +20 to a networking field skill.)

Musta forgot the networking, but this should actually be 50. Your background additions go at the beginning.

So, you have 10 SAV + 20 = 30 skill, 30 points to get to 60, 20 more to get to seventy = 50.

Quote:

Perception - 50 CP (You got me down for 80 CP, it is 50 CP to get me to 60 then a +10 because of background, and a +10 because of faction which gets me to 80 in the skill)

As above:

You had 10 INT, +10 skill, so you start at 20. then it takes you 40 to get to sixty, and then 40 more to increase the last 20 points to 80.

The rest of the arguments come down to the same.

Either you were confused about how background/faction skills are added or you didn't notice that increasing skills past 60 costs twice as much.

Daniel wouldn't kill her. Not unless she screwed him(in a bad way). At any rate he is one difficult creep to manipulate so good luck making him your servant.

He is the gunny guy though. Able to hit you in the pupil from 2300 units away, mentally and physically tough to an unreasonable degree, fairly skilled at berating someone into going his way, and a gentle artist on the inside who only really wants immortality and some classic Earth music.

Oh yeah and the luckiest guy in the universe...but bidirectionally.

No, Ellen was not at all inspired by Impact. Manipulative bitch was a concept that was bouncing around in my head since way before Pokemon. Sorry to burst your bubble.

To differentiate her from Impact, know that she's extremely self-centered (Megalomania as a mental disorder, after all) and she's more direct about getting what she wants.
