Sutoratosu Posted June 14, 2014 Author Share Posted June 14, 2014 (edited) How good is the medical knowledge for cadets? Because I'm thinking about giving Logan a more supportive role / infield medic on missions.. you all have basic knowledge of battlefield medicine. but If you want for Logan to serve as the main Medic on the team, then sure go right ahead... We can just say that was what he was specifically trained for during those six monthes and @ K_H I'm afraid we need to talk about that little thing you did in Post #57 in the Chapter 2 thread...and in post #59... Go back to the OP of this thread and read the rules before responding. (and there's no possible way for Eve to be able to burrow her way up into the atrium... it's on the top level of Command central... but seeing as how I'm too late to intervene for that specific bit in this situation... oh well, just gotta go with it I guess...)

Chevaleresse Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Since you guys have blazed ahead of me, how about we say Nathan was wounded and knocked unconscious for a while? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutoratosu Posted June 15, 2014 Author Share Posted June 15, 2014 (edited) ^allright, Murdoc lets go with that... again, sorry about fucking up like that though... I'll wait for Nathan to wake up and join in before I have the General or any one else go any further. (IE, right now, no one is to post next until Murdoc has) anyways, it's yalls first mission... a bit of debriefing is in order... Mission: Operation Frozen Storm Objective: Kill Ditto-Articuno Mission Party: (Formerly Cadet) Squadron Fox1 Staff Sergeant Matthew D. Surge General of the Army Arnold D. McCarthy Dr. Urban James Ray Professor Samuel Oak Professor Rodrik Rowan Lieutenant Donovan Caraway, Military Police Officer Mission Location: Fort Bexly, USA Time of Mission: 09:03 AM Current Load-out/ Equipment: 1 X-19 Assault rifle 5 standard issue rifles 1 MK-93 Heavy Anti-Infantry Machine gun 2 Beretta M11s GAOs Success Conditions: Ditto-Articuno is killed Failure Conditions: The Sqaudron is wiped out, Ditto- Articuno escapes, or Command Central is destroyed Reward: your next mission... and the honor of being able to call yourselves GAOWs... and the ability to capture GAOs directly. ((I still don't know what the hell's going on with Flux's and Maddies characters, but after Murdoc gets Nathan caught up, I'm just gonna cut the losses with them....so we're just gonna have it so that Lars and Enyo helped in the defense of the secondary entry ports but where defeated in combat and are now lying buried in the snow out cold... whether or not they embark on the mission depends on whether or not either of the two show up any time soon.))

We can just say that was what he was specifically trained for during those six monthes Alright, I think I'll go with that idea. It suits him better than being on the front wiping out enemies. I'll get it into one of my next posts when Nathan receives treatment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ojama Yellow Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Ok so, Lionel went officially mad now, do we have an asylum in the base? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutoratosu Posted June 15, 2014 Author Share Posted June 15, 2014 I don't see anything evident of Mental Insanity in him right now, so let's just go with Yes, there is actually an asylum in the deepest parts of the Bases subterranean levels, though it's completely empty of any occupants...

Ojama Yellow Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Happily walked towards a creature that killed tens of other soldiers isn't madness at all. Anyhow, I guess the move you mean with Beldum's wave is Thunder Wave? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ojama Yellow Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Hold on for a moment. I just realised and went back to check for it. Apparently I was right. Didn't Erick have a Piplup instead of a Beldum? Did I miss something or am I the only one that noticed? If I missed something, please link me.

Sutoratosu Posted June 15, 2014 Author Share Posted June 15, 2014 (edited) You seemed surprised that I did that... It was intended to show that these aren't the little games we all play in pokemon... they don't just faint. it was meant to portray how this is the Near future, Real World version of pokemon... where the laws of nature dictate that all things must eventually die, including those Pokemon that are pushed too far or are too severely injured in battle Edited June 15, 2014 by Stratos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supernovae Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Just how big is this Articuno? According to serebii, Onix is 28'10" tall, and 463 lbs. Articuno is 5'07" tall and 122 lbs. Even if we quadruple Articuno's size it's still no as tall and only slightly heavier than an Onix. I totally get Articuno being able to mess up my Onix, but my Onix should at least be close in size.

K_H Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 The Bulbapedia Sizes are the same as the Serebii Sizes. However, may I remind you that not all Pokemon of one species are the same size? For example, Ash's Charizard is a small one, and there was also the Giant Onix in the Kanto Arc of the Anime. The Pokedex probably lists the Average Species Size instead of the Actual Size.

Sutoratosu Posted June 15, 2014 Author Share Posted June 15, 2014 (edited) Like I once said, Certain species will be getting substantial increases in power and proportion in this thing... Now then, I'm not the best in math...and I'm no biologist, so this may be a bit offish sounding... But in this RP, Articuno's size has been increased to a standing height of twenty five feet, and a wing span of approximately twenty feet... and a weight of... I don't know the weight... anyways,I pretty much took the proportions from this image right here: I don't know... just seem that it's supposed to be big... though maybe my size interpretation of the image is wrong... not like we can really find out, as there's no object in there for scale... any who, just go ahead and disregard what Erick said if you want, it's pretty much just filler dialog that I felt someone would probably interject with in that situation. (the main point of which being that your onix probably would not be able to physically consume Articuno) But hey, you all have to hand it to me... At least I'm doing better than GameFreak's logic though, if someone who's excellent in math and biology wants to go and calculate out an appropriate size for this beast, go right ahead and bring us back your conclusion. (It should be big enough so that it's a reasonable thing for an entire Army base to deem a "Major Threat") Edited June 15, 2014 by Stratos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K_H Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 50 feet tall with a wingspan of 40 feet sounds reasonably dangerous to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supernovae Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 50 feet would put it at about 1/6 of the length of a football field. That sounds pretty fair to me, though I think I'll still have Clint think his Onix can rip it to shreads, even though it totally can't. It would also be pretty close to 10 people high (average person is more than 5 feet, but I'm just doing some rough rounding here.) So that sounds pretty good to me and I hope that helps in determining how big the thing is supposed to be. If we're ramping up it's scale by 10, then it's weight would likewise have to be multiplied by 10 which would put it at about 1,220 lbs. So yeah, it's about twice as big as an Onix at that scale.

Chim Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Is it just me or is everyone confident about taking on a 50 feet Ditto-Articuno who massacred a military base on its own? I would **** my pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flux Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 So yeah... Kinda missed the whole thing... >.> Sorry, I've just been really busy these past few days and haven't had time to catch up and make a post. I guess I'll have Lars run in late? Let me know if you want me to change it, but I'll quick type something up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ojama Yellow Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Chimchain, I don't think you would have passed the severe test in the beginning when you would run away screaming for a mission like that, and certainly not after 6 months of severe training. But again, that's just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chim Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 You're right about the test and I understand about some of the characters. But there is a big difference in training and actual combat. Just saying: "Oh let's throw some rocks at it since it's that type and that type and we should be fine" while it just rampaged through an entire base by itself, is taking it too easy.

Flux Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I kind of have to agree with Chimchain here. Take a look at Ray when Niles and Remus (I think those were the names) were killed. He practically went insane. Now, all characters don't necessarily need to go to that extreme, but I felt that it helped keep the realism a bit... (Just my two cents) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ojama Yellow Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 That's just how some characters are... I would expect Clint or Kenny more to be like people who would go and kill it with raw power than to be afraid of it. And well, Lionel just went gusta. Something snapped inside of him... I don't know for sure yet what I will do with him after the battle (if we survive that is) but oh well. Again, my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragnar Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Sid was raised in the street and seen alot of killings as he grows up being raised by thugs ofcourse.(except for a giant icy bird freezing everything in its path) so yeah, he's kinda stable.not saying he isn't afraid but he keeps his fear in check when the going gets tough.

Sutoratosu Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share Posted June 17, 2014 (edited) that confidence displayed by some can be chalked up to the Cadet's over confidence seeing as how they've never been in a true combat situation before (Ex. This has happened to a lot of young soldiers throughout every war in the modern era... in almost every country involved...they go in thinking they're gonna kick a bunch of ass and take countless names, then they're faced with the reality of what war is...and things start to look a lot different...) also, just as a reference note, the casualties at the front gate actually were nothing compared to the battles to hold the side entry ports... (in fact, most of the soldiers defending the front, with the exception of surge and you all, were either just knocked unconscious or broke a few bones from the force of impact from being thrown by Gust) in fact, as you all are walking by the scene of those battles, I'm going to go to the point of pointing out many stiff, frozen solid bodies littering the snow. and that confidence?, it can also be chalked up to past personal experiences and personality of the character... like for Erick for example... he's a bit prudent right now, thinking they should have a plan and going along with others when they started to formulate one... he wasn't shitting his pants about going to face a monster like Articuno because... well, once you see a man get his throat torn out by a large animal, and then electrocuted as he got his throat torn out... a bit of seeing grown men and women tossed around by a gust of wind really isn't anything...
