Re: Defend ULMF! (Sign-up and OOC)
Oooookay, now that I've got perma-internet again should I post up my modified character sheet now? And whats happened since the last story update?
Character sheet whenever you wish, as for a recap on events -
This is the last thing that happened at the end of the last recap, to refresh what's been happening:
They find a friendly Wraith who tells them that there’s a rebelling Wraith faction, and that they freed Siphon… but because they killed a Wraith that was feeding off of him at the time, he got pumped with some nasty chemicals that modified his body and he went berserk. The party enters the hive to extract him.
They find him, but he’s too unstable and Pale turns him to stone. Shrike and the wraith (who has been named Sparky) believe that they will be able to put his mind back together if they can get out.
Burrito splits off from the main group and goes looking for the core of the hive; he has a chemical that should destroy the ship if it’s administered properly.
The party encounters leech-men (a Resident Evil reference, I believe), one of whom rapes and impregnates Tsuki. To stop the spawn from eating her from the inside, the party get some cure from a storeroom.
My Lurkers are added. It’s advised that anyone from the forum reads the history given in my character’s backstory, but for a non-forum character that’s less important – I intend to explain a lot of it in game. (Yes, I give this importance. I never said I wasn’t biased…)
Burrito encounters one party of Lurkers as they battle the Wraith in the halls. He saves them without knowing who they are but quickly realises. They request his protection. For a long time they fail to realise a radio-blocking unit is active, so there’s no communication between Burrito and the main party.
A second group of Lurkers is killed by leech-men, and a third finds themselves fleeing from a large group of Thembrihkal. All groups of Lurkers seem to have TP form members with them. Each Lurker is in some kind of power-armour suit, designed to look like some kind of demonic reptile. (Pictures are included in the posts that first show the Lurkers, but can also be found from my ‘Random’ picture collection.)
The remaining enemy Wraith on board feel overwhelmed; they set the ship to self-destruct. Sparky, the friendly wraith, realises that the ship is on a large magma chamber, (or some such, can’t remember the specifics,) and destroying the hive here could very well destroy the world. He decides to try and fly the ship away, while the main party makes for a dart bay so they can escape in the darts. The Lurkers make for a different extraction point. Burrito and the Lurkers with him realise they’ve left the radio jammers on, Burrito gives a quick and rather unhelpful message to the main party before deciding to go with the Lurkers.
The main party escapes, the remaining Lurkers meet up at the extraction point and also escape, Sparky flies the hive away and them escapes as well. The hive explodes, Pale is effectively MIA. Burrito is MIA also, having been taken prisoner by the Lurkers (although no one from the forum knows that, they only know that he isn’t there and was supposed to be escaping with some unknown group). Sparky’s dart is shot down by an enemy dart while protecting the players, but Tsuki takes him out of the cockpit in a transport beam before the Dart crashes.
The main party makes it home, and awaits orders.
And this is the new stuff that's happened since the last recap:
The Player Characters go through 'mission revision' interviews, think Woolsey from Stargate.
They get some RnR, except for Burrito who is still captured by Lurkers, Siphon who is still stone, and Shrike and Sparky who fix Siphon's mind after a forum mage ‘un-stones’ him (then they get some rest too).
Siphon goes off in a dart to scout for the super hive, Tsuki is depressed from being raped, Sparky goes to look for something outside the forum.
Copper, Grave and Shrike get gathered together by Aika to check on the house of a researcher who hasn't reported in. The researcher was working on a weapon prototype, and something about the situation has Aika unnerved.
The trio kill illusions that they believe are the inhabitants of the house, but soon realise they’ve walked into a trap - Grave is immediately knocked unconscious, Copper is crippled with pain, and Shrike is surrounded.
Shrike submits to being knocked unconscious in a less painful manner, Copper thrashes around a bit before being captured in a stasis field.
Two hive ships materialise above the house, and then promptly leave.
Pale, who had been in orbit since the explosion of the hive ship, crashes to earth on top of a large wraith thing that was attacking Sparky. She notices the illusion being used by the Lurkers and goes to help.
Pale and the Lurkers begin to fight, but one of the hive ships from before returns and blows up a mountain with a shot before leaving again.
Siphon, still in a dart, finds that the super hive had left the position he thought it was at. He returns to the forum.
Nemesis comes out of the destroyed mountain and heads towards Pale and the Lurkers.
Siphon notices Nemesis and successfully distracts it, being shot at in the process.
Pale and the Lurkers come to something resembling an agreement, and then get attacked by Nemesis.
Nemesis blows up one of the building's rooms, but the Lurkers have long since fled from it.
*Current time:*
The Lurkers gather behind the house along with Pale, and try to kill Nemesis, while Siphon is making a bombing run at the creature with his dart.
