Interesting choice.

Interesting...

[Josh Sinsapaugh]

Yeah, it's fun.

One thing I missed: She does in fact have bio-systems eyes. When she asked, I reflexively nixed it. If she wanted high stats, she could play a True Atlantean.

But then she pitched her idea to me. The eyes aren't functional. They're there to put people at ease when she speaks to them. She reationalized that suddenly gaining a new sense would throw her off a great deal. As she put it:

"Think of it. You've gone your whole life without sight. Your body has adapted to this with a sort of sound-based radar sense -kinda like Daredevil. Then, you suddenly gain full-color sight as a normal human. All the colors, all the intensity, all the movment and chaos would be terrifying. All the new sensory input would be mind-shaking and numbing. You'd want to go back to the comfortable 'darkness' of being 'blind'."

"She gets the implants for when she deals with people. She still wears sunglasses or her polorized helmet visor, but at least poeple can see that there is something in the eye sockets. She can look in the right direction, or even look a person she's talking to in the face, and appear normal. When asked why she wears dark glasses, she'll just say shes photosensitive and completely colorblind."

After that, I let her get the implants. It was a great idea.

Yeah, she sounds like a keeper (player-wise).

[runebeo]

Sounds really cool hope she keeps her talisman of armor.

[grandmaster z0b]

Does she still have Splugorth minions looking for her, or hunting her down? Or is it only a problem if she actually meets a Slaver or something later? She may find it difficult to fight her own kind.

[rat_bastard]

sounds delightful. I fully approve... man I miss Dev....

[socom242]

That is a totally kick-a$$ character concept, and it sounds like she's more a role-player than a "roll-player". Wish I had about 10 of them around me. Not that I want 10 role-playing chicks...girls...women...AHH, hell! Sure I do

Seriously, that whole bit of having "eyes" just so she doesn't freak people out and blend it...I've never seen character developement like that in my players in a long time...a long time!

We ended up implanting functional biosystem eyes in th warrior woman in our game, andgave her hellacious penalties to save against any sort of vision based attack until she settled into them over a few levels.

[Gaius]

I definately dig this character concept. It's rife with role-playing opportunities. I don't know how developed the character is as a Cyber-Knight, but I think playing out her training as a CK is good game material. And her background as a slave of the Splugorth is always good for the occassional run in with slavers or bounty hunters or anyone else who might have a vested interest in the escaped Altaran.

The bit about the eyes is just the icing on the cake, though to be honest, I didn't know that the Altarans didn't have eyes. I just thought that they didn't work. It's been a long while since I've read up on them (long long while).

[rat_bastard]

just a thought... but altorians can reproduce by cloning themselves, and their clones have a percentage of their memories....

your cyber knight altorean might be able to seed varius areas with instant champions of justice....

just a thought.

[Jefffar]

Well it's mentioned that the AWW with Armegeddon Unlimited needed biosystem eyes in order to fit in.

[JTwig]

How do the eyes act? Are they like glass eyes and always stare straight a head, or do they move. If they move, yet she doesn't see out of them, who controls what they focus on? Do they sometimes focus on separate objects? This could be creepier to a normal person than her having no eyes at all.

Lord Coake, dont know if you are married or not, but if you are not, then PROPOSE for her!!!!

Like said in Mulan: "You dont find a girl like that in a whole dynasty".

I would never let her go

like I said, asexual breeders...

little clone cyberknight warrior women running around everywhere. Could be the end of evil after a few generations.

Congratulations! You have a true R O L E player and not a R O L L player

Nice character concept and definetly unique. I have never heard of that one before.

[rat_bastard]

Oh I get it, when I want to make an exotic cyber knight I'm ruining the class but when some cute 17 year old wants to its all right... and they wonder why I'm the redheaded stepchild for the entire megaverse...

sixteen gets you twenty

Creepily enough - not in Indiana. When I moved here and found that out, I about fainted, but sixteen's the age of consent here.

If you think 16 is bad...In Nevada the legal age of consent (with parent approval) is 15.

Last I heard it was 17 here in IL, though I could be mistaken.

Isnt it like 12 in Arkansas with parental approval?

oh come on, that was funny.

Oh alright, back on topic. What were we talking about? Oh yes, Altara Cyber-Knights.

That is pretty impressive for a younger player, or a older player to tell the truth. Did you say she was new to gaming? If so, cudos to her.

on a side note: would a species that developed to have no eyes, also undevelope the sunken area where the eyes normally would be. If so that's just freaky and I would imagine would take some serious surgery to remove the bone or ligament or whatever deposits that would take up that space.

[rat_bastard]

Her stats are a bit on the Oh My GOD side, but stats don't make a character, the player does. She's got powergamer potential out the wazoo, but never even gets close to it.

umn, thats just the cyber knight class in general, with 3 bonus physical skills and +1-4 to a dozen stats cyber knights get scary numbers.
