Forum Team Up

[Darth Abaddon]

ThreadJack. He's not far off from me so I can get to him quicker and get to the fight. Plus he is a penguin and can teach me to survive the arctic once the counter attack commences.... Alright the second part was a joke but...

[Veldryne]

Id partner with this guy

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Kyle

heya borgie, have some .50 cal at 2000m


otherwise, kane or solinus, both have military service and were ground pounders, they know how to move, they know how to shoot, id be comfortable with them at my back

If we get our hands on any long range ordinance, id stencil Aurek Mern Forn on every round

[Manroon]

Oh, I'm loving this. Forum Team would be my plan, but for specific partner...... primary would be TJ. Secondary would be Daniel Anteron. Third up would probably be Jammo. Reasoning being that TJ is my wingmate, and despite our weaknesses we get along well, and both know which end of the gun to point at the Borg. Plus I know he's got a little bit of Trek experience, which would be helpful. Danny because I know of his incredible skill in STO, and his grasp of Trek is very good. If the Borg showed up, he would know how to react, he would know the weak points to aim for, and we'd understand the same strategies. Jammo.... Jammo is Jammo. I feel no need to explain that choice. Good sense of humor, good combat skills, ready to rumble.

So given that TJ has already been called, unless he wishes to override that call by picking me, I'd either go with Ben since he mentioned me and knows more than enough Trek to understand the situation, or Daniel Anteron as he's highest uncalled man on my list.

Well, since it's a little unfair to call SOTJ (and more than a little boring, seeing as she's inactive)... I call Tas, my sidekick. I think we would get along well and kick at least a bit of ass.

[Tasardur]

Oh, you have no idea. We would kick so much Borg ass it would make your head spin. We'd rip out there spines with our bears hooves.

Yeah, I'd have to go with Luna as my first choice, only because I know we'd get along very well and be able to coordinate mid battle. My second choice would be Manny because Star Trek and he be a Trekkie. Oh, and he be awesome, and we be gettin' along 'n stuff. My third choice would be Ben. I have an immense amount of respect for this guy (whom I've never even met) and would really appreciate his wisdom and foresight in a situation like this.

All three of these guys (I certainly hope) know which direction to point a gun. That's what really matters. Oh and I hope they all have winter clothing. Antarctica can be chilly this time of year.
If I could, I'd take all three of 'em.

How about a thread hijack?!

The original Borg threat is gone but there is a virus left behind, this virus affects technology to the point of creating a hive mind...but the invasion is slow, insidious...once it reaches the internet all hell breaks loose.

Those who are signed on become linked to the computers...the only way to break the link is to destroy the virus core...as it happens the bulk of the Ultra Sabers forum membership are online at the time...we are all trapped, ghosts in the machine.

The world we are trapped in is a massive jungle like city of interweaving circuits and data streams, lights, flashes, energy, etc. (Tron-ish but less orderly, lots of chaos)

When ever too many forum members meet up on the grid it draws attention from the bugs, squids, and wisps...but if only two are together they can usually avoid direct alarms.

So consider your personal experiences, talents, and skills...these become one aspect on the grid, one power...what would it be?  (this is more about how you see yourself or how you would like to see yourself)


*****


I will take the lead for examples sake...


21yrs military, good with weapons of most types, advanced martial arts, proven leadership, and lifetime artist...

So I am thinking the stoic artistic samurai angle...using the artistic approach to energy manipulation...a street level version of Green Lantern (no where near his level)...producing temporary energy effects (flashes, heat, force push/pull)...yeah that sounds more like it, Jedi level force push pull with a few light/energy changes...power comes from the grid, drawing it in to use for effects.

Energy effects would be within a blue to blue-green hue range


*****


Another member might see themselves having super senses and can smell/hear/taste energy, another might sink or consume energy, one might teleport, another might fly, one may be invisible, another might get stronger or grow, one might use a light saber, etc...try to keep it focused to a type or form  (if considering TK, then please not the "I can do anything with TK" angle...define your aspects   )

Play with it.

If Ben wants the hijack to end I will make another thread lol



Fight the good fight and play on players!

[BenPass]

This hijack seems perfectly fine to me!

Now, how do I see myself in that situation? I tend to be the quiet thinker for the most part, but when the time comes, I came actually be quite the stirring and inspirational leader. That, along with the fact that I like helping and supporting people, and the fact that I have long been a hunter, stalking through the woods, I'd probably be a sniper similar to Zero in Borderlands 2 (ability to cloak for a short time, and also view sensitive areas on our enemies).

Of course, if y'all disagree, go ahead and tell me different

[Manroon]

In said hijack instance, I would pair with Ben. My abilities would relate to manipulation of energy in the environment / program. By this, I refer to maneuverability. When it comes to the physical or mental side of things, that's been a thing I enjoy and a tactic I go for. Maneuvering around, through, over, under, etc to get to my goal. The easiest way to block a hit is to step out of the way. To this end my powers would be similar to Rel's GL example. I would be able to manifest a weapon out of energy, ride a current of it through the environment, or redirect said current. The strongest of these abilities would be riding and controlling current, but redirecting it would not be something that could be used often without setting off alarms in the program. Manifesting weapons or objects would be easier to get away with undetected, but they would be weaker. IE my weapons could hurt the baddies, but the baddies could come up with stronger weapons without too much effort, and my objects would easily be destroyed by their weapons. These abilities would pair well with Ben's sniping both in spotter and covering fire capacities.

That, along with the fact that I like helping and supporting people, and the fact that I have long been a hunter, stalking through the woods......I would see myself as a young Prof X, with long range energy sensing, stunning, and illusionary abilities...could pick a target even out of sight...draw out or plant information, create centers of stunning energy that can be lethal to energy types, and force illusions that even affects constructs and energy types.

There I fixed it for you!

Lol

If you don't like it I will remove...(sulks and hangs head)

Hey hey hey...how about the opposite of mine...you draw power from the voids or shadows between the energy and light?  This would promote the idea of cloaking, invisibility in some degree, and a way to disrupt the energy types with a grounding effect, like a circuit breaker.

Dark to my light...yin and yang...

I like, but if Manny and I are teaming up, I need to be able to do more than find the target and trick it; I need to be able to bring some boom

[Master Rel]

Better with edit?

 

PS
Trick it could mean "see your ally as an enemy" "to walk onto a bridge that is not there" "that there is a tunnel just ahead but it is a wall" etc.

Oh yeah, definitely. Like I said, I liked the first edition you did. I just like having an option for a weaponized power especially since they're Borg related viruses.

[Master Rel]

Play it more Legion of Superheroes (except for Superboy and Supergirl etc.) where each had a specialty but were much stronger as a team.

Not so much a "I can do it all" type.

This provides a reason to team up...super sensory guy needs backup...energy draining guy needs some place to put the energy...etc.

More Tron than Borg lol.

Ben wanting to kill stuff...that is not very neighborly
