Hoplite Shield - [50 Essence]
Protection 1 - 100 Essence
Removable - -50 Essence

A round, thirty pound, metal disc with a leather strap on the back of it for deflecting sword blows and arrow strikes. The back is concave to allow arrow heads to be caught harmlessly, minimizing risk to the users forearm.

Ancient Short Sword - [50 Essence]
Damage 1 - 100 Essence
Removable - -50 Essence

A one handed dual edged weapon about two feet long. Meant to be used in extreme close quarters combat coupled with a proper functioning shield wall. The blade looks as though as it has seen endless battles, the cutting edge being pitted places yet still razor sharp to the touch. Dried blood coats the tip of this weapon. It looks as though it hasn't seen combat in a very long time.

Cytokine Storm Energy Bow Mk. VI - [500 Essence]
Damage 5 - 250 Essence
Removable - -50 Essence
Ranged - +50 Essence

Using a special energy tether bow string, this recreation of an ancient and powerful weapon brings archery into the future. Developed by Cytokine Industries this recon bow was designed for piercing wild Zoid armor. With the rise in Zoid attacks a need arose for a silent weapon that could be given to recon teams so they could defend themselves in the event of an attack outside of the cities immediate range. This weapon fires powerful proprietary arrows at near super sonic speeds allowing it to pierce the heavy armor of most wild Zoids and aid in the defeat of them as well.

Cytokine Recon Armor Mk. XI - [800 Essence]
Protection 5 - 250 Essence
Sense 1 - 100 Essence
Healing - 200 Essence
Ongoing - 100 Essence
Removable - -50 Essence
Side Effect - -50 Essence

Originally developed as power armor that Aria would hope enhance the prowess of her own troops in combat, the platform became re-purposed when a need for recon teams arose. Soldiers and mercenaries alike flatout refused to leave the safety of the walls of Markov without some sort of protection they could count on to bring them home. Already having the basic layout in her foundry, Aria instructed her scientists to begin the Recon Armor line and Cytokine Industries has been providing every scouting party with a suit of this army since that day. Every decade a new version came out, but those with an intact version of their old armor could swap up.

How much Essence did you spend? 1300

How much Essence do you have left? 200

Heyo. Just a couple things.

-Can you make the numbers on her bow Damage 5 (500), Removable (-250) and Ranged (+250)? Your price is right but it’s a bit hard to read.

-You’re also going to have to explain what the side effect on her armor is, if it makes her a lot slower, drains her health, etc.

Armor Description --

Originally developed as power armor that Aria would hope enhance the prowess of her own troops in combat, the platform became re-purposed when a need for recon teams arose. Soldiers and mercenaries alike flat out refused to leave the safety of Markov without some sort of protection they could count on to bring them home. Already having the basic layout in her foundry, Aria instructed her scientists to begin the Recon Armor line and Cytokine Industries has been providing every scouting party with a suit of this army since that day. Every decade a new version came out, but those with an intact version of their old armor could swap up. The helmet provides the user with enhanced visual modes for every situation. When an injury is detected, nano machines begin patching the broken segments and creating pressure on the area to suppress blood loss. Part of wearing this armor and why it's been so successful is the neural link creating in the spinal column when wearing it. A series of needles inject an proprietary non-addictive drug that keeps the user going and provides sensory enhancements. The one and only major side effect is, that after prolonged use, the user experiences a neural crash and needs several days of rest before they can safely be at a heightened state again.

-Can you make the numbers on her bow Damage 5 (500), Removable (-250) and Ranged (+250)? Your price is right but it’s a bit hard to read.

With regards to this: you've now displayed the numbers here in your join app, and have displayed your Abilities in a clear format... but for some reason, in your actual character profile, you've gone back to using a different format and bave completely omitted the Essence costs of your Abilities entirely.

Could you please include the costs there as well?
(And, ideally, use the recommend format.)

 

[Broly]

Edit: Yep

 

[Ahana Varma]

If you post links in your purchase logs, as I do, then those are very helpful if anyone needs to check that the Abilities on your profile are as they should be, but it's time-consuming to do, so it would be convenient to be able to go through a profile and easily tell that someone's spent Essence is accurate at a glance.

If the other members of staff don't think it's necessary to include costs on profiles then I guess you don't need to.

 

[Broly]

I'll fix it.

 

[Broly]

Imogen Gallant, Duchess of Fjord Island, First of Her Name. She was born in the Second Era to an abusive father. Her mother had died in childbirth. Something she believes her father never forgave her for. From an early age, she was conditioned and trained for her eventual induction into the Gallant Army like every citizen. Despite his hatred of his daughter, Gallant Senior was proud that she could withstand the brutal physical training that their army went through years before she was eligible to enlist.

Upon reaching the age of 16, she was conscripted and, on the orders of her father, marched into battle against House Glendale forces. Aiding House Zulenka the Gallant Legion arrived just in time, turning the tide of the battle. The horrors of war were eye-opening to the teenager. Even as she carved her way through Glendale troops, she could barely contain the urge to vomit. The first day was the worst. Once they had set up camp, the young girl broke down behind a supply tent and succumbed to overwhelming fear. She didn’t want to die. It was here that she met Lillian Skleros, the woman who would eventually go on to help save House Skleros from Glendale treachery.

She helped the young Imogen overcome her fear for battle throughout the war and eventually they became good friends. After six years in the field defending House Zulenka, word reached the encamped army that Gallant Senior had passed and that Imogen had become Duchess. At this time, she had excelled through the ranks and had become a Legate of the Legion. She was sworn in on the battlefield among her troops and next to Lillian. Imogen returned home victorious; the Zulenkan General dismissed their army. For the next twenty years, Imogen spent her time trying to balance going to war to assist her allies and keeping her home prosperous and stable. She was a beloved Duchess. During her reign, the Legion saw pay increases as the cost of recruiting her House to war went up in the arrangement made with House Zulenka centuries prior. She secured farmland on the mainland and increased food production and the overall state of affairs in her domain.

Everything came to a screeching halt with Elizabeth Glendale came to power and slaughtered everyone in her way to obtain it. She married into the Skleros Family which threw the region into chaos. Imogen knew this was going to mean war, so she began readying her Legions. Without missing a beat House, Zulenka called for aid as both House Glendale, and House Skleros was now attacking them. Now in her mid-40’s Imogen found herself wondering what had become of Lillian. Begrudgingly Duchess Gallant marched with her armies towards the Zulenkan territory to assist in border control. However much to her surprise, she found herself face to face with Glendale forces who were burning everything in sight.

House Zulenka was being eradicated, and it wasn’t right; even if she did detest being called into war every god damn second. Gallant forces clashed with the lesser Glendale and Skleros forces and like a wave they broke the ranks of the men and women they faced. Eventually, Imogen found herself face to face with Elizabeth herself. The woman was full of bravado and certain she could win the war. The two women dueled for two days. In the end, Imogen received a fatal blow which caused her Royal Guard to rush the field. Elizabeth herself had been wounded badly, but she would live. As was a tradition the Royal Guard led a charge and began slaughtering Skleros and Gallant troops in honor of their fallen Duchess. It was a tradition that was supposed to send a message and take a toll on the enemy. It did just that. In less than a week, morale had been shattered, and the House Glendale army had to retreat. Within that same time frame, Lillian married a Zulenkan General and took her House back, ordering the army to defend the remaining Zulenkan and Gallant forces.

Imogen was interred in her family crypt on the island of Fjord with her sword and shield. It was at this time that she found herself inside of a cryogenic tank inside of a Cytokine Industries facility. When brain activity had been detected the thawing procedure began automatically. Imogen was thrust onto the cold linoleum floor in a pool of whatever liquid she had been submerged in. As her vision and cognitive functions came back, she realized she was staring at a blue woman. Aria took Imogen into the Cytokine family and put her through a series of tests. Ultimately Imogen was made a recon team lead for missions outside the walls.

Not knowing what world, she now inhabited the woman had no choice to accept. She had somehow gotten her youth and her life back.
