So I may or may not actually read through the IC. I will skim through it just to get an idea of what's happening but could someone give me a rundown on the story so far?
I'd read all of it.
If you're a quick one, you'll be done with in in a little less than an hour.
It's a very good read!

EDIT: -cut this out, as it didn't have a reason to exist now-

I hope everyone is okay with me incorporating some links into the IC-Post for illustration, since describing poses and techniques of which I know they are found on the internet in a well-documented fashion will make the posts tedious to write and read, confusing for most people with different knowledge of martial arts than me, and in most cases everyone still ends up with different imaginations. I know it's not the best thing to do as an author, but I value clear communication higher than literary perfection in this (and similar) cases.
It's fine, at least to me. I know exactly what you mean, so don't worry.
But on the bright side, Souna's got more things to scold Aegia for c:
-
Aegia was just about to segue into a new topic with the bedridden bomb tosser, when suddenly, the minuscule hairs on the back of her neck began to stand up, and the distinct smell of ozone entered her nose. Her heart skipped a beat for just a moment as her eyes widened slightly. She could hear the distinct hum and crackle of electricity, it sounded so familiar. Almost as if it hadn't even been a years since she'd heard it in particular, like it was yesterday. She knew that there were always so many... But this one seemed to resonate with her in some way, the same smell, the feeling, the same hum in the air. It was this in particular that made her reluctant to turn her head, but she did so, albeit slowly.
'It couldn't really be... Not after so long...'
She didn't even notice she had been holding her breath as she turned to see a battered looking Volt destroy a whole squad's weapons with a wave of his hand. She stood straight, mouth hanging open ever so slightly as her mind raced through a million different possibilities at once, and none of them seemed to click with her. She raised up her hand, almost as if reaching out for him, when suddenly the piercing sound of a Bolto firing broke her from the near-trance like state she was in, all sound seeming to rush back in and flood her ears with an all-encompassing white noise. When the static finally receded, she looked around, only to find herself in a sturdy, combat-ready pose rooted firmly to the floor, a thick layer of Iron Skin covering her frame, having outstretched an arm and placed her body in between the offending Bolto and the Volt, shielding him with her body. She held her Pyrana in her other hand and her targeting switching between both the head doctor and Souna, respectively, finger on the trigger as she gripped the hand-shotgun with a terrifying strength. She had activated her helmet it had seemed, if her HUD being visible was any indication. Her faculties now returned to her, she could only look around frantically, then at her gun in hand and quickly remove her finger from the trigger, holstering it just as fast. Though, she didn't exactly know what to do with the Volt standing next to her.
Just what had she done? One step forward. Her hand raised up and then... Nothing. All she could recall were the sounds of electricity and static.
Electricity and static...
The smell of ozone...
That familiar hum...
All gone now.
She was finally able to find her words however, and she cleared her throat, speaking in a tone of voice not at all befitting her usual demeanor.
"I... I don't..." She turned her head to Souna, knowing full well she'd have something to say about her actions. Looking to the doctor next, she muttered out an apology. "...My apologies, s-sir. I'm not quite... S-Sure what happened." Which wasn't a lie, of course. She had no clue. She looked at the Volt she held, then to the inevitable eyes belonging to all of the people no doubt watching her. Aegia would look at her hands for a moment, simply staring at the layer of Ferrite Armor now covering them, before making her way outside the medbay doors, to a relatively unoccupied spot on the wall just outside the doors and leaning her back against it, slowly sliding down the wall until she was sitting on the floor, her fingers of one hand against her helmet as she looked down at the ground in front of her.
She was just glad that her helmet could hide her wide-eyed, pale-faced expression.
-
I saw! Don't you worry about that, she's not exactly one to be put off by a bit of a lightshow c:And it all goes downhill when Aegia sees just how volatile this guy will be. Trust me, his waking in the med-bay wasn't exactly calm.
Expect a heavy sedative in the form of Aegia when I can manage to pull myself outta bed.
-
Ho?
New recruits into this madhouse we call a Roleplay? I look forward to interacting with them in the future.
Ooooooh, I nearly forgot that Volun was a Volt!
Ahaaaaa this'll be fun. Aegia has a little bit of history with that particular frame~
-
Sebastian looked deadpan at Aegia. Reflexively he put the Scotch up to his lips at took about five large gulps. "Don't think I can't handle my Scotch." He said. After that, his deadpan face was replaced with a large grin. "So I'm guessing you're the one who brought me here, thanks." Sebastian moved his hand towards Aegia, offering a handshake. "Name's Sebastian. Yours?" He then brought up his other hand and offered her the Scotch as well. "Also, as thanks. Courtesy of Gaius." He said with a grin.
Aegia took the Vauban's hand, shaking it firmly, though allowing her obvious femininity to show through it before pulling her hand away and taking the bottle of Scotch, putting it to her lips and tilting it back. She took a few drinks before handing it back to the Tenno on the bed-table. Her own cheeky grin spread across her features as she nodded. "Yep, but don't mention it. You'd have done the same for me, y'know if you could lift me that was." She let out a giggle as she crossed her arms across her chest. "My name's Aegia, Like Aegis, but with an 'a' at the end. It's a pleasure to meet you proper, Sebastian, this is a much better first impression than passing out in the hangar."

After much debate on my part, and checking to see just how active this particular RP in general was, I've decided to step up to the plate and submit a character to this in hopes that I can get them into this RP. From what I've read so far, it seems like something I'd be interested in. But for now, I'll stop running my fingers along this keyboard and submit this here character.
Name:
Null
Warframe:
Limbo
Preferred Loadout:
Tiberon, Gammacor, Ether Reaper
Appearance:
Null stands at around 6'3" not counting the "top hat" which he so graciously wears atop his frame. When frameless, his full height is around 6'0" even. Short brown hair is cropped back and usually slicked naturally by his helmet. His face is comprised of sharp features befitting a tinkerer-Tenno of his caliber. His eyes are a bright green color, the same as the energy comprising his frame. And speaking of his frame, he has dyed his Warframe with a bright gray primary, a dark orange secondary, and using flashy golden accents to complete the color scheme. (Here's a visual representation for those of you that'd like one.)
Personality:
Null really really likes to build things. Especially experimental things that may or may not disintegrate or explode upon use. Successfully. When he's not building items that intentionally explode for her fellow Tenno to use, he's busy making modifications to already existing equipment, or taking apart stolen equipment just to see how it works, before seeing how exactly he can make it into something new and deadly.
He's a tinkerer at heart, and loves putting new prototypes into use in the field to see what crumbles first, his creation, or whatever he's firing/slicing/throwing it at. Why wait for it to be tested if it works just fine the first time? However, the happy-go-lucky engineer isn't always at home wherever he goes. Being trapped in a cryopod a thousand leagues below the seas of the planet Uranus left him with a near crippling case of claustrophobia.
His most prized possession -other than the "top hat" that he wears- is a device of his own creation that he is constantly working on during his free time: A Grineer-Corpus hybrid device designed to amplify his Rift powers. It's intent was to allow his greater control and mastery over the Rift Plane, but unfortunately, such technology involving the Void and the Rift is fickle, and prone to being esoteric and difficult to understand. As such, he's never gotten it to work successfully so far.
Bio and History:
Awakening from Cryosleep was a momentous occasion for Null, however, waking up deep underwater on the planet Uranus, was not. Being trapped inside a cryopod in the ocean deep however, left him with many a solar cycle to think and experiment in the small confined space of his cryopod (it also left him with a nigh crippling case of claustrophobia). It was this experimentation that led to a violent explosion of Rift energy that propelled his cryopod out of the waters and forcefully broke it open, leaving him stranded on one of the many Grineer bases that dotted the planet's surface. After days of hiding away from the Grineer, stealthily taking their resources with clever application of his Rift powers, he was able to commandeer one of their smaller spacefaring vessels and take to orbit with his ill-gotten gains. It was there that he was finally out of the signal jamming range of the Grineer controlled planet and was contacted by the Lotus, and told of how the situation in the system was going. Needless to say, being a Tenno, he was inclined to accept. He quickly grew to love the Corpus, or at least, their technology, which he would continue to steal and bring back to his stolen Grineer vessel, now having been repainted in a manner more fitting for a Tenno of his stature. His crowning (or near-crowning) device is his Planar Ability Enhancement Device (PAED for short, pronounced "paid") which if successful, would allow banished objects and individuals to vanish from the physical plane and exist solely on the Rift Plane, becoming effectively invisible to any not in the Rift. Unfortunately, this device has proven to be a monumental undertaking for Null, seeing as how both factions of the Origin System would love to get their hands on such technology, and the fact that he can't even figure out how to make the damn thing work whatsoever.
Hmm... I think that about covers him. Please let me know if anything needs clearing up or changing or whatnot, that's what I'm here for.

Aegia had found a nice little spot on the wall to lean against as she watched the scene between Gaius and the Vauban unfold. She couldn't help but snicker a bit as the Tenno in the medbay bed-table-thing joked around despite the condition he looked to be in. She was definitely glad she'd decided to be in the docking bay when he'd collapsed in there, as she was always glad to have another Tenno around that wasn't drop dead serious all the time. Aegia however, wasn't as accommodating of the two friends' shared moment as Souna was, and as soon as there was a lull in their conversation, she came forward, placing a single hand on the foot of the bed-table-thing the Vauban rested upon, leaned forward a bit as she rested some of her weight upon it, her other hand in its usual place upon her hip. And she grinned.
"Glad to see you're feeling better... More or less. Just don't overdo it on the alcohol, I don't want to have to haul you out of the medbay too." Ever the social Tenno, Aegia was, as she addressed the Vauban laying there. "But if you could, maybe try and keep your blood inside you, instead of on my frame next time." She had already seen him capable of joking around about the condition he was in, it was only fitting for her to join in.

Alrighty, here we go. *cracks knuckles painfully*
For Hexer~
And his final moments when he somehow manages to die
Und Sab
Fjinal mjoments would be...
Souna's took me a bit.
Final moments are as follows
Belrev c:
You know what comes next~
Last one here I've thought of is Sebastian.
GOODBYE, VAUBAN

I choose for everyone various themes from Civ V and its expansions/DLC.
I will not list any, because doing so would be tedious and I am lazy at this point in time.
*falls unconscious due to lack of sleep*
TERRA
NOVAAAAAAAAA
-
Hm, let me try one of these things.
CHARACTER QUESTION TIME IV: ARCADE EDITION
This time with a slight twist, you aren't gonna be doing this for your character, instead, you choose someone else's!
Basically, pick two (or three!) themes for someone's OC: Their theme in battle, another for their last moments (be they going down fighting or whatever), and optionally, one for peacetime, like right now.

-snibbidy sneb-
Gaius turned back to Aegia, standing straight and tall. "Aegia, if you could please lead the way to the Vauban."
"Hm?" Aegia glanced over to Gaius, that's right, she'd suggested something. Aegia's brain moved a million miles a minute, and after she'd suggested going to the medbay, her thoughts had immediately moved to something else. Usually, it was the same thing every time, memories from before her second sleep in the cryopod. It was a bittersweet things for her to remember however. But that was neither here, nor there. She turned to make her way towards the medbay, walking towards the door connecting the waystation sections, her footsteps making heavy thuds against the metal flooring.
"Oh, of course. Just follow me." She remarked, even as she was already walking away. Easily remembering the route towards the medbay. After all, when there's someone bleeding on you the whole way there, it's hard to forget.
-
Huh... I'm not sure. I think Aegia would end up in the Dark Souls universe, honestly.
She'd never go hollow because she's got a driving purpose behind her whole journey there.
Though that journey may ultimately be fruitless in many regards.
Hell, it may even be more apt to put her in the Fallout Universe, but only in Dead Money from New Vegas. Points for you if you can figure out why exactly she'd be in Dead Money.
EDIT:
Hey Space, you said there's a limit to two OCs you can have in at once, would it be okay if I added one in at some point? After posting the sheet here of course. I figured I'd ask first, seeing as how there are a lot of characters currently.

Orion, overhearing her question, jumped off the Mining Vessel and came up behind Aegia, suddenly replying to her question. "Everyone went on a mission which turned out to be a trap, and lots of people died or got wounded." He put his hand on his hip. "More or less, that's what happened."
"...Oh." Aegia rubbed the back of her neck, glancing away when she learned just why exactly there were so many wounded on the station. It probably explained why it was on lockdown as well. She stayed silent on the matter, mulling it over in her head. She wasn't really too keen on the idea of any of her friends getting hurt. Hell, they weren't even her friends... Yet. The fact that she wasn't able to at least mitigate some of the damage still got to her, but what could she have done? She only had just now found out about it.
Gaius was glad to see that the two women had made amends so quickly. It was always warming to see a new bond form between others, and seeing what could have been a brutal conflict turn around into friendly amiability was a large relief. However, Gaius's relief was replaced with intense concern. "A Vauban?" Gaius would have pressed on with the question until Orion spoke up. His answer only served to intensify Gaius's concern.
"Where did you drop the Vauban off at?" he tried to keep a clam composure, but he was having trouble trying to conceal his worry. Sebastian was a good friend, and a good fighter. If he was to end up in such a state, who knows how bad off the others are?
Aegia however was broken from her mental reverie by a question from Gaius, to whom she turned her head to look at. "The Vauban? I dropped him and the other Tenno off in the medbay, if they haven't gotten treatment already, I assume they are right now." She tilted her head curiously. "He a friend of yours? He looked like he was in bad shape, but the doctors here are good, so he should be fine." She glanced to the door to the hallway leading into the Waystation. "We can go to the medbay and check on them if you'd like." It wasn't like Aegia was doing much else, and if that Vauban really was Gaius's friend, it'd be nice to get them reunited again.

-laser cut-
However, she can not ponder more on this, as Aegia's return takes her mind of things and back into the present. If the Rhino had worn her helmet, Souna would have prepared to be retaliated at for her insulting demeanor earlier. Somehow, she thinks such an impulsive action would fit Aegia just well.But, the woman is bigger than that, and comes up with an apology. Souna neither needs nor is capable of hiding her surprise about that. After a moment has passed, Souna had adjusted to the unforeseen turn of things, and answered the handshake in the same fashion: One hand behind her back, gripping the Rhino's massive forearm. For Aegia to complete the gesture, she turn her own arm to the outside a little so the wing is stretched to the side, and will not obstruct Aegia's grip."Many are no longer used to standing their ground when it is their right, resorting to obscure ways instead. I often get get mistaken because of that." Oh the hypocrisy in these words, Souna is well aware of it. A scheming, tricking Tenno, who has abused honor as well as intrigue for her goals, she knows that she is such a person. But she thinks it righteous, as her own benefit will extend to all Tennos that she lectures, all those that fight alongside her. You can not walk into the skies without stepping onto something."I had not thought the moment when you prove yourself would come so soon. You have astonished me, and honored yourself. I acknowledge that I am still true to the outstandingly harsh lectures of my former mentors." Yes, she does acknowledge this, as she told Gaius a short while ago. But she is not ashamed of it. They made her into the formidable Tenno that she is now. It is an explanation, but no excuse. "But I do not refuse a joke now and then - of which you surely know many, many more than me - when the situation is less ... rushed. I will not talk you into gloominess unless there are more important things to be said." At last, Souna gives in at least a little. To defuse this woman's residual grudges against her, she feels that some degree of courtesy is necessary, and this way, she at least did not need to lie.Aegia made sure to complete the handshake, rather enthusiastically, one might add. When all was done, Aegia would return her hands to their usual resting position: One on her hip, and the other at her side, hovering over her Pyrana's handle. "Heh, I do like to surprise, of course. It's certainly one of my stronger suits. I'm just glad to not have any hostility between us. It'd be a shame to lose a potential friend over something silly like that." Aegia let out an audible sigh of relief, any tension visible in her shoulders seeming to melt away, her posture becoming much more relaxed now as she stood with Gaius and Souna.
Not one to let silence fall over a room for long, she immediately launches into another question, regarding her gesturing towards some of the ships in disrepair docked at the hangar. "Any idea what happened, or are you two as lost as I am? I mean, have you seen some of the wounds on those other Tenno coming in? Just a little while ago I had to haul a Vauban and an Excalibur to the medbay, they were out cold... Mostly from the blood loss." She inspected her frame once more, making sure that she indeed had all the blood off that Sebastian had bled on her. "I was comign back here to haul back some more wounded, but it looks like everything's fine, so to speak."
-
Aegia would just end up asking a whole bunch of questions to Omni. I mean, hell if they know all, may as well get some answers!
-
Man, Aegia's gonna need a big ol' glass of Greedy Milk to wash down all that pride she swallowed.
-
Aegia didn't actually have anywhere else to go in the Waystation. In fact, that was exactly the reason she turned on her heel and started making her way back to the two other Tenno. Hell, they were the only source of lively conversation that she had around here, she didn't quite like arguing with the bird-Tenno, but what could she do? She stopped in the sliding doorway, closing her eyes and sighing softly. She muttered under her breath as she approached once more.
"Alright, alright. Just swallow your damn pride and make a better impression this time. Friends. Friends. No enemies." She inhaled sharply as she neared the two Tenno, her attention focused on Souna once more. Her heavy footsteps subsided once she was with the two once more. SHe opened her mouth to speak, before closing it after thinking about her response. She extended her hand to the Tenno of Wind, her left behind her back, in the traditional fashion she'd seen.
"I... Apologize for my rather... Rash behavior, just moments ago. Today certainly hasn't been the best, and that should not have bled over into my actions. As well as the.... ill-use of my abilities." Her eyes wavered only a moment, giving a sly, barely noticeable wink at Gaius, before returning her amber gaze to the gold-trimmed bird warrior.
"It's certainly not befitting of a Tenno to behave as such, however I can't say that my personality will ever change. I can say with one hundred and ten percent certainty that, while my cheerful attitude may never subside, on the battlefield I do indeed befit the traditional ways of the Tenno, in action alone at least."
Aegia's gaze is nothing if not sincere, and one of her tellatale smiles would work its way across her face. "I hope that we may instead use this as the basis for our first encounter, rather than our verbal spat earlier. And that we can become friends."
-
I have a feeling Gaius is gonna be caught between Souna and Aegis in the next mission. He will probably be worse off than Sebastian by the end of it.
Unlike Souna, Aegia is most definitely not professional. Though she does care a lot.
Poor Gaius~
-
Don't worry, I'll always be around to correct grammar.
-
Rather well, I'd say. Aegia's a bit different during missions.
-
I think Aegia and Souna are gonna be great friends.
-
Fortune this time smiley on Gaius, as Souna is just focused on ensuring that her Udyat Syandana is not entangled and thus missed Gaius' playful answer on the floor. After he got up, she is ready to tell him a bold lie."I was just about to call out to you. Had she not been charging like that, you might have dodged." Who knows, had the Rhino not been in charge, Souna had more time to react. Maybe she would really have tried to shout. Due to her posture being just the same as always, it's hard to tell.Souna is not at all surprised that the Rhino is so very different of her as she speaks. It is not new to her that the rigid, old mentality of a 'Tenno as a weapon' is not very common anymore, as is the resulting grim discipline. None of her condisciples would have used their warframe's abilities for such a trivial manner in this situation, and the Rhino does not let her down on her expectations.On the other hand, her words do have a somewhat true core. As a Rhino might be one of the heavies warframes, her words give Souna little flashbacks of her first experiences with reduces weight - all of which ended with her down on the floor."Are you telling me you are still that unaccustomed to your frame? Then you should be training in a non-public area - focused and determined." the Zephyr asked, unbelieving and bend towards the Rhino a tiniest bit. Surprisingly, this has somehwat alleviated Souna's grudge. A grown-up Tenno who acts careless deserves punishment. A newborn who does not know better and stretches her limits - she has some sympathy for that. Ironically, her wrong image of the Rhino gets even more supported by the woman's next words, critisizing her noble demeanor."Maybe in a few years or decades, you will come to the conclusion that status is not a burden, but a gift. My back feels just fine, strengthend by what I am able to carry." Now she definitely sounds like a teacher to a pupil, and with an indistinct wave towards 'that time', she also looks like it. For a moment she thinks to append a question about the Rhino's back after the impact - but after all, Rhinos are built to withstand exactly those attacks. And, contrary to the Tenno inside, the warframe looks just fine, so she does not question the obvious."Indeed, now that you've come to a halt, it is safe. I advise you to stick to walking or unaccelerated running when people are around."-swooce-
Aegia raised an eyebrow as she stopped in front of the noble Tenno. "Unaccustomed? I've been in this thing for as long as I can remember. Yeah, sure I've been away on an icy vacation in a cryopod for a year but it's not like I've forgotten how to use it. I don't need training." She closed her eyes for a moment. "Name's Aegia, by the way, in case you wanted to address whom you're insulting by name."
She placed her hands on her hips, shifting her weight back and forth between her feet, listening to Souna speak. It was like cement laced with gold was being forced through her ears, and it was entirely as unpleasant as it sounded. "Look, no matter how much fancy gold trim you slap onto my frame, and no matter how many years I'm around the system, it's not gonna change how I am, miss." She groaned and pinched the bridge of her nose, clearly not getting through to the other Tenno, looking over to the Ash she had run into.
"She always this fun to be around?" Aegia asked, sarcasm practically dripping from her tongue as she spoke the word "fun." The Rhino shook her head and sighed, turning her back on the Zephyr and walking past the Ash, clapping a hand on his shoulder. "Please, if by some chance I ever become as dull as she is, put me out of my misery quick?"
WIth that, she let her hand slide off his shoulder and along the back of his neck as she began to walk back towards the hallway connecting the docking back with the rest of the waystation proper. She held her hand up above her head, arm bent at a forty-five degree angle and she clasped her hand into a fist in a sort of lazy wave farewell. "Not here to make enemies, I'm here to make friends, Miss Souna."

So DK, you want me to change my post, since Volun isn't actually knocked out and my post sorta hinged on the whole him being unconscious thing?
I'm sure Aegia can have a mental lapse some other time if it's too much trouble to get things cleared up
EDIT: Alright, guess I'm gonna snip out Aegia's episode since it's easier than having both you AND batman change your posts since then.
