(OOC) Emerald City Knights

[Insight]

Have you come to a decision?

I would like to submit a construct character (with all that entails), but it's a GM preference sort of thing. If it is not allowed, then I will stick with Momentum. If constructs are allowed, I will submit the new character. That's easy enough.

Constructs are definitely allowed.

Re-reinterested, though they really need to do something about the issue.

I'm not too sure that they can, because it doesn't seem to be a very general problem. For example, the site works prefectly fine for me, currently.

I would definitely try another web browser to see if it changes anything.

Bye
Thanee

Re-reinterested, though they really need to do something about the issue. I can't always use wordpad as I am here. For example, when using the dice roller, which happened earlier today. Its already driven HM away, one of the most profillic posters here. Just so you now this post had to be resubmitted at least once.

I have sometimes problems when I use a very slow connection...

And HM (who is/was a friend of mine) was only profillic if you play much Pathfinder. BTW, I doubt he wasn't really unable to make a better leaving notice than just changing his status...

@hero4hire do you need anything else for my character submission?

 

[hero4hire]

I *think* all are squared away except a stray skill point or so? I will give Insight a chance to submit his construct. I think I will be sorting out the roster by Wednesday.

I will be off tonight taking my girls out trick or treating, and then snuggling in with my fiancée for some horror movies.

KID BIONIC
Pronounced dead as a result of a school bus crash, Kid Bionic was re-created within a super-tech exoskeleton and now uses his technological abilities to fight crime in Emerald City.

[sblock=Kid Bionic]KID BIONIC
PL 10 150/150pp

[sblock=Backstory]Joey Whitson was a fairly normal 16-year old when he was nearly killed during a bus accident traveling home from school. Joey was fooling around at the back of the bus, with the rear door open, when the driver, distracted with Joey's antics, did not see a railroad crossing and rand headlong into the train. Joey was thrown from the bus and sustained multiple fractures, including a badly fractured skull.

Joey was rushed to the nearest hospital, associated with the university, and spent several hours in the emergency room. The doctors tried their best to save Joey, but it was not meant to be. Joey spent the last few moments of life with his family and was soon pronounced dead after a short coma.

That would have been Joey's end had it not been for an enterprising robotics student who happened to be passing through the hospital. This student, Johnson Capp, was looking for cadavers he could use for an experiment. Capp passed the morgue and saw that a figure under a sheet was moving - barely. The morgue was unoccupied. Capp entered and approached the cart. Capp pulled back the sheet to reveal Joey, pronounced dead, but seemingly undergoing some sort of seizure. Capp took a chance and whisked the cart out of the morgue, out of the hospital, and off to his secret lab.

Through several methods definitely not approved by the medical or scientific faculty, Capp was able to keep Joey "alive" long enough to hook the body up to his experimental equipment. The devices were able to maintain Joey's body in a semblance of life. Joey was "dead" in the sense that he no longer breathed, ate, drank, or slept, but the boy still had brain activity, stimulated by Capp's designs. Over the next several months, Capp built an exoskeleton that would be used to reinforce Joey's ruined body. Capp had to re-design Joey's sensory functions, ambulatory functions, and even the ability to speak and understand language. In time, Capp was able to transfer Joey's body into the exoskeleton and soon, Joey was able to move around and communicate in rudimentary ways.

At this point, Capp was at the limit of his technical knowledge. He brought in his uncle, the famed cyberneticist, Dr. Myron Capp, who had invented smaller cybernetic appliances, such as hands, arms, and legs. Dr. Capp had never built an entire cybernetic body and jumped at the chance to join his nephew's project.

Within the next year, "Joey" was brought fully on-line. In fact, "Joey" was more than he ever would have been as a 16-year old kid. Joey was strong, fast, agile, and had technologically-enhanced senses beyond those of any "normal" human being.

The scientists realized that they had created something beyond an exoskeleton to sustain the spark of life; Joey was super-human. In order to use their creation, the Capps had to spend several months training "Joey" to understand his new existence and abilities.

During this training time, Dr. Capp devised a set of gauntlets that "Joey" could use to enhance his physical attacks. It was then that the Capps decided to unleash their creation on the world. "Joey" was sent to fight bad guys and performed that job well.

Unfortunately, "Joey" could not save Myron and Johnson Capp from mercenary assassins sent by corporate rivals to steal the Capp designs. After a sortie fighting criminals in Emerald City, "Joey" returned to his base to find Myron and Johnson dead.

"Joey", now calling himself Kid Bionic, seeks his creators' killers and continues their legacy in using his abilities to fight crime in Emerald City.[/sblock]

[sblock=Complications]Family Issues: Kid Bionic's family believes him to be dead. He struggles with whether to reveal to them that he is "alive".
Kid: Everyone sees him as just a kid, which can be difficult in social situations.
Obvious Exoskeleton: Kid Bionic cannot remove his exoskeleton and it is not very concealable. Thus, he has no real secret identity.[/sblock]

Which one would you suggest? I am currently using Chrome and Opera as I said.
Have tried Firefox in the past, and will not use Ie. It is targeted by hackers to much.

FWIW, when it comes to IE8 and later, that's much more myth than fact; if you can use IE9 (which is to say you're running Vista or Windows 7), it's really the most secure major browser out there.

 

[Insight]

This is getting really really OT, but...

I have used Internet Explorer exclusively for more than 10 years and never, ever had a problem with any sort of hacking or malware. Then again, I am an IT professional, have a secured home network, and keep my antivirus / anti-spyware applications up to date.

The only problem I have with EN World is that sometimes, I can't see my cursor. I like to use the arrow keys and when I do, the cursor just vanishes. I can't really use mouse clicks, either, because the cursor just won't come back. I have to use notepad for particularly long or format-intensive posts.

Not enough to ragequit EN World, though.

So...a synopsis.

List & fix defenses. Define and clean up array. List specific ranged combat skill.

Alright, seems I had my spreadsheet messed up. I had Shin with Stamina 5 and dex 6, not the other way around, but it got listed like that. Should have double checked I guess. I modified the array too, made it more clear. Defences should have been there as well, dunno why they weren't.
