Kameron the alien
IMG_7364.jpg

Obviously still not done but eh


Edit: okay, I think I got this down. So the Obsidai (alien race) could be the assassin type. They're pretty sneaky, good at hiding, and they have a higher chance at criticals and first-hit kills. However, they can't last in a melee fight, and aren't heavily armed or defensive. Their weapons are mostly light, used from a distance and easy to conceal- pistols, throwing knives- and are really made for mid-range combat. They rely on whatever gear they have- take their weapon and they're basically screwed.

Thoughts?
Ja. That works.
Sounds good
Sounds very similar to how jack described Chimera, which makes me think this design could be worked into being a Lizard/Chameleon/Snake Chimera man-thing. But aye if he good with it. It still differs heavily that they rely on gear so that'll set them apart.

Where'd ja get the name? Obsidai Technology sounds cool and alien.
Got it from the word obsidian :)
Coo yo.
So we all good?

WHAT IF ALIENS HAD THOSE ABILITIES THAT THEY DO ON MASS EFFECT?!

Of course they'd have to build into them OBVIOUSLY but what if they have a special racial skill try SPECIFCALLY for that. Kinda like how humans and androids have augmentation trees. (even though they require an outside source).
Mass Effect has a lot of aliens yo, and as a not-fan I must say explain yourself when using capslock!

Also robinno and friends are definitely shaking their head at the roleplay having not begun. I want to discuss so much more though... I guess we should focus on getting it going. Let me ask this though: Are we going to recuit new people? I think someone mentioned that earlier. I don't think we need to, but Sp8s should get the interest check going if we are, eh?

Next is when and where exactly are we choosing to start? The convention? In the same now ruined city exactly a year later for the next Mayhem Week? Perhaps a different event involving the Obsidai, their playable race and backstory in a big free expansion?

We could also just wing it again.
Ooh I like the expansion pack idea, they introduce new races all the time with new expansion packs on regular mmo games.

It was just a suggestion.

Anyways, well I can see the town of Oasis being destroyed and then rebuilt as the city PARADISO with the new update HEAVEN'S STAR, adding a more complex and unique environment, leaving the ruins of Oasis as both a reminder of the W.O.M and as well as a new P.V.P battleground type arena. (or something along those lines I guess.) But Paradiso is, different then oasis. See, Oasis is a city that was landed specifically for the human race, but Paradiso is a more advance version of it, having it's own Governmental Guild Union (basically high ranking guilds run the place) along with multiple areas for different.... Not species per say? But living types. It's become it's own city. The other cities still remain, the out lands, highlands, etc. But Paradiso, is a land of Power and Opportunity. It's also home to the Obsidai.

The city was said to be built by aliens that had crash landed on Eris. Their remnant species still lingers in the higher classes of Paradiso.

Yes, no, maybe so?

Edit: This will also give take to more real situations, politcal assassinations, voting, economic situations, etc.
I guess Silent would move out cause I get a feeling that the new "government" would put a pressure on him to make more stuff to counter any potential rebellions?

Heavy restrictions on weapon creating, probably even make a separate guild for "SECURITY REASONS" to create some sort of military.

At least Cheshire will have work.
I guess whatever stuff he placed on sale will become legendary status. And himself probably a legendary player that was never saw again after the fight? (Of course that didn't happen. He just moved out.)

Is he still Cheshire's personal gunsmith? (Not like she has a lack of cash.)
Aww I wanted to know what aliens from mass effect you were talking about, all I know of are the Reapers.

It's unclear whether Oasis was rebuilt into this PARADISO, or that it was built by the Obsidai. I'd add in a clarification that this previously unknown city was deep below Oasis, protected by an unique shield generator (which I'm sure some here would love to get their hands on) which was unearthed by the destruction of Oasis. PARADISO rises from the ashes with Oldtown Oasis / Mirage at its outskirts as the pvp arena right next door. I'm sure a few players will be a bit peeved that it was planned all along for Oasis to fall in order for this expansion to be released, but hey, go post about it on reddit.
This opens up a lot of new sci fi ideas to work with.
Yes Spider.

Ugh, sorry I misworded that. It's almost 2 AM here and I had a long day.

Let us reword this in a more understanding way.

Oasis was a built city from humanity that crumbled to it's own greed. Simple yeah?

Well due to the Heaven's Star update a new location has been unlocked north of oasis called Paradiso, people flock and instead of allowing another oasis that was runned by the people on the streets and some A.I this is based of a guild based democracy. Only way into the high council is to become a very powerful guild. But guilds can send representatives to appease the high council.

And since humans, chimeras, and androids are walking on their soil. The Obsidai, make a reappearance to that of Eris. Possibly caused a series of aggression over the year that ended in a civil peace treaty of "Rightful Power" going to Obsidai, they're treated like royals, duchess and dukes, high class. Untouched in their high end towers. People wanted to try and abuse this and SUPRISE Obsidai is an exclusive race to a certain amount of people. There are..... Other ways to become an Obsidai but they remain unknown (Which of course our dear friend and resident newly born alien will find out.)

There's also a military guild that serves THE HIGH COUNCIL. They are "suppose" to get the exclusive legendary weapons, armors, and upgrades. Leaving those of the, lower tiers of life to work on either the regular marketplace with mundane stuff or the Black Market that runs majorly through the Outlands.

Cheshire is now also a highly wanted target from the Council, but nobody is brave enough to take on one of the Heroes of Oasis. Especially the elusive and dangerous sharpshooter Cheshire.

Better?
Better. This is the type of discussion I love... and it's 1AM here so I feel ya. Go to bed.

We have an idea of antagonists now, what with this sort-of-playable Obsidai race being pompous elitists who want us (the players of Bullet Fuse) out of Paradiso. We also could have this wonderful democracy sprouting up to turn a bit controlling as does many dystopia in cyberpunk fiction. There could be a subplot of perhaps players taking this game too seriously as it gets more popular.

Couple things though for when you wake up or reply because you're up all night thinking on this:

"People wanted to try and abuse this and SUPRISE Obsidai is an exclusive race to a certain amount of people"

What'd you mean by this? I actually cant even guess. I got the rest tho fam. Obsidai are almost ALL NPCs correct? That's why Kameron becoming one is special.

(I'll cut this long post short by saying G30 is probably also wanted by a guild or two for the Obsidai Technology he won during WOM. Details later. But that could be an underlying thread to get us back together and fighting authorities.)
Keep in mind as well that Wicked was considered a thief as well over a year ago. He has likely moved on to stealing larger and more important items by this time, may have also started a thieves guild as well.

I could theorize that not long after paradiso was built, people cared less about racial divides with chimera and focused solely on the Obsidi. However seeing as they have an affinity for distant and broken places, I can only theorize that a few have managed to set up shop in the ruins of oasis.
