The Obligatory Interest Thread
The Obligatory Interest Thread
I be making a thread \o/ Well, considering it anyway. It would be set in the near future, approx 2030. Technology would be just entering futuristic; you'd have a choice between regular guns and Lasers; lasers would be more powerful, but also more susceptible to failing.
The thread would be semi-stat based. Your character would have to pick skills from certain categories. The skills I have atm are...
Strength - Melee damage, carry limit (All weapons and equipment will have a weight) and other stength-based actions
Dexterity - Unarmed combat skill, jumping, and other dexterity-based actions
Infiltration - Disguise skills, language skills etc (you're gonna be in enemy territory)
Stealth - Hiding, silent movement etc
Combat Skills - Firefight skills, weapon control
Technical Knowledge - Ability to use computer terminals, vehicles etc (might possibly become two, with a separate driving skill)
Demolitions - Explosives, including plastic explosives, mines, rocket/grenade launchers etc
Characters would have 3 skill specialisations; One elite, one expert and one skilled. Your elite skill will be your main ability; with expert and skilled progressively worse. All other skills are considered average. Your skills will affect your success, which can be accomplished many different ways. An agent with elite infiltration might disguise himself as an enemy agent to bypass a checkpoint, whereas another agent might use his elite combat skills to take down the sentries in a firefight, or an agent with elite technical knowledge may steal a jeep and attempt to crash through the checkpoint before he can be stopped.
I've got a skeleton history planned, and a (very) basic storyline. Wanted to check if anyone'd be interested before I waste any more valuable drinking time on it...

Re: The Obligatory Interest Thread
inside the micorwave mrmao notices the micorwave has been turned on and starts to scream but of course no one can hear him.
"no i dont have any holes to allow moister to escape ahhh..."
his screams are cut short by his explosin inside the micorwave.
