Not really, Siren's Call isn't connected to the plot of this RP, the only connection is that some of the characters were in Siren's Call. I doubt anything from Siren's Call will play a part in the story of the RP.

I would suppose it might come up as an aside when we talk to the guy in charge of this salvage operation, but nothing beyond that for sure.

Probably should have posted this sooner, but yes - Hammers and Nails takes place after the events of the Sirens Call.
I can already hear the screaming of crewmen who didn't double check their food and drink after leaving it unattended for but a moment.

Its a minor thing, but I'll parrot it as many times as I must. Yes, this thread does take place after the events of Sirens Call, but thats ultimately a tertiary matter.

Full Name: Forte Luxe
Gender: Female
Race: Corpus
Age: 29
Apparent Age: 19
Actual Age: 29

Appearance:
Features: Standing at a clean five feet tall, Forte is on the smaller side, but has the leaner, lower-body focused physique of a runner or climber. Her hair is short, straight and black, pulled back behind her china face. With powdery cheeks, nervous brown eyes, severe eyebrows, and rebellious pout for a mouth - her features do little to mask her youth on the occasion they are not hidden behind her helmet.
Attire: Forte dresses simply in long-sleeved, nondescript slacks of grey and brown. In the field, these are worth underneath her outfit’s characteristic dark blue jumpsuit, which is in turn under a set of hazmat-grade, greyish bunker gear. On her head, she wears a sturdy helmet not unlike those of any other Corpus crewman, except featuring bright red highlights, likely to signal her as specialized personnel. It offers vital head protection, oxygen supply and filtration while providing the standard voice modulators, personal communications and also limited thermal imagery that one might come to expect of Corpus technology.

Personality:
Forte hasn’t quite outgrown the rash and rebellious phase of a young and active adulthood. She does her absolute best to keep a level head during operations, but still retains quite a bit of puppylike enthusiasm. Following recent events, she is a little more glum and jittery, prone to bouts of moodiness and emotional vulnerability and lower stress tolerance.
Affiliation:
Intelligent Civillian Defenses - A Corpus private contractor, specializing in salvage, disaster control, rescue and contraband recovery. Her father is the founder of said organization.
Corpus - The family still stems from the Corpus body. Her parent's interests ultimately align with the concepts of profit, despite the problem-solving work that they do.

History:
Forte is one of two children between Serre Cade and Darryn Luxe. Her mother was a prominent geneticist and researcher in Dr Intehb’s Kubrow incubation facility on Jupiter, while her father commanded a Corpus outfit of elite salvage and rescue agents. Inspired by the retrievers and sniffer canines of an ancient era, her mother resigned and sought to continue her research into Kubrow genetics on her own, and dealt with Tenno to procure the material and specimens she needed to complete it. The family managed to secure their own Incubator segments and equipment, and with it began to raise and train Kubrows for use in their outfit’s operations. Darryn Luxe had high hopes for his daughter, and taught her personally from the tender(by Corpus standards) age of seventeen to be his successor in the field one day. Plucked from the gruelling education and conditioning of business inheritance that most Corpus youths her age generally face, she eagerly immersed herself in her new surroundings and expectations. By the age of twenty-nine, she had nineteen accomplished missions under her belt, most of them with her Kubrow by her side.

The outfit’s success in small-scale, private operations began to draw unwanted attention over the past few years. A sponsor of Dr Intehb’s Kubrow genetic research set Darryn up with an ill-fated contract - to board and save a cargo vessel suffering from a supposed oxygen leak, on autopilot to Venus while the crew were placed in stasis. The operation was a disaster, with their gas tanker mysteriously exploding upon boarding. All of their outfit’s on-board crew perished except Darryn, whose Kubrow had already led him into the cargo vessel’s gas cycling plant after sniffing out an apparent fire. With his tanker ship obliterated and oxygen supplies rapidly depleting, he forced the vessel into an atmospheric dive, crashing it into a far-flung Venusian irrigated trench and rendering it irrecoverable. Darryn survived by low-altitude escape pod, but was quickly arrested and imprisoned, pending numerous lawsuits that would send him beyond bankruptcy. His spouse fared little better in his absence - being sued for damages to her former employer’s biological research, and thrown into a different prison far away from him.

That was three weeks ago. Left without her parents, every friend she had ever known except her loyal Kubrow and with only her older brother as a legal custodian, the all-too-young Forte faced an insurmountable amount of debt, and the hostile world she owed it to. After days of tears, whitened knuckles, hammering on walls and heated arguments with the only family she had left, she decided that she had wallowed in despair for about long enough. Her brother was right - the first step was to bail their father out and conduct their own investigations into the tragedy that had befallen their livelihood. To do that, they needed credits. A lot of it.

And not so far away from their tiny little civillian craft, from some salvage yards in a certain Venus sector, that was exactly what a new client was offering.

Personal Equipment:
Forte carries several gear items from her line of work. Heavy-duty rope coils, various hooks, anchors and carabiners, a zipline ascender, fireman’s knife and ciphers are held securely in a tool belt around her waist.
Weaponry: 
Not a combatant by nature, some of her equipment do function as weaponry, and have seen use as such in isolated incidents against hostile forces. 
Spectra - Primarily used for cutting open entry points and parting wreckage, Forte has used it to destroy Infested Hives and the hordes of Infested from which they spawned - to great efficacy.
Lecta - With its strong, versatile cord that can even be used as wiring for equipment in a pinch, Forte uses this tool to signal her companion Grendel, and also as a self-defense weapon.

 

Companion:
Name: Grendel
Gender: Male
Breed: Sahasa Kubrow
Age: 4

A birthday gift to Forte, from the success of her parents’ Kubrow incubation and training program. Grendel is a large Kubrow of Sahasa lineage, with golden medium-length fur and charcoal-tipped paws and ears. Grendel is highly intelligent and well-trained in sniffing out fires, casualties and even hazardous and contraband material, and a loyal attack hound when anything threatens his master.

Like most Kubrow in active service with the Tenno, Grendel is also equipped with standard personal shield generators, vital health rigging and subdermal amour implants, bestowing him with increased durability in combat. He also has a collar with a tracking device, on-board camera and rope anchor point.

Well, its about time I list all the OC's that made it in, or have yet to make it in to Hammers & Nails, so without further ado, lets begin.
 

On ‎1‎/‎14‎/‎2018 at 12:05 PM, Agent_Maine said:

Alright, here's my OC:

  Reveal hidden contents

Name: Bane

Apparent Age: 41

Actual Age: 10

Appearance: Bane is a Grineer and often wears a chest plate, with an ammunition bandolier slung over his shoulder, and he wears a long red fighting skirt decorated with Grineer symbols. He usually wears a Brunt shield on his head, akin to a hat. He usually wears a breathing mask over his mouth so he can breathe in space.

Personality: Bane was a quiet, stoic and disciplined individual, speaking only in the Grineer language, which made it difficult for others to understand him. He was also totally ruthless, dispatching foe after foe without mercy or remorse, and using his unorthodox weapons to lethal effect. Bane respects successful mercenaries in the system, such as the Tenno.

Affiliation: Bane works as a mercenary, often fulfilling missions by himself. However, he has previously affiliated himself with a small syndicate of mercenaries known as ‘Fortuity’.

Modus Operandi: Bane, being a Grineer born with the defection defect, has no interest in the plans of the Grineer Empire and works as a mercenary across the system. He will agree to being employed if he gets properly paid.

Personal Equipment: Bane's primary weapons were an Attica automatic crossbow and his Brunt ‘hat’, which doubled as a shield and as a throwing weapon. He also carries an ammunition bandolier for his Attica. To compensate for his usage of the Grineer language, Bane utilized a special communication system in his breathing mask which allowed those around him to understand what he was saying without actually hearing him speak English.

Weaponry: Bane’s main weapon is an Attica automatic crossbow, alongside his Brunt. He utilized these two pieces of equipment in combat to their fullest effect.

Companions: Bane has a pet Drahk named Marrok.

To sum him up, he's Grineer Captain America who'll do any job if it means he gets paid. I usually write serious OCs, so for once I though 'eh, why not' and wrote this guy. He's inspired by another fictional character, and if you can figure out who he was inspired by, I'll give you a virtual cookie. And no, he was not inspired by the Dark Knight Rises Bane, I just realized their similarities while posting this now.

Well, A solid Grineer OC - Considering his professionalism, I imagine he'll work just fine with the company and other players. Bane makes the cut, and makes it into the RP.

This is a character I've used several times, but he hasn't reallly been front and center yet. Sorry for lack of spoiler tabs, but I wrote this on mobile.

 

Name: Clogori

Race: Tenno (Prefers Limbo because why not)

Apparent age: 18 years

Actual age: 1000+

Appearance: Dark-ish blue Limbo Warframe with a good ol' Magrite helmet. As an Operator, wears a similarly-colored Zariman suit, with the hood often obscuring his face.

Personality: Clogori is enigmatic at best. He rarely does things himself, often hiring mercs to achieve his mysterious goals. He is generally skilled in persuasion, and uses this to his advantage. Clogori may seem nice and reasonable to business partners, but he's ruthless toward anyone he opposes, regardless of their threat.

Affiliation: As far as most know, Clogori works alone. There are rumors he has many Perrin Sequence members in his pocket, and he has quite a few scientists and mercenaries under his employment. There's no verifiable proof, and Clogori dismisses these as conspiracy theorists with too much time on their hands.

Modus operandi (How fancy): Clogori wants/needs money. Lots of it. His true reasons are unknown. Some would argue that this all comes back to the theories that he's employed an entire science team and mercenaries to work under him, but he still adamantly calls these claims false. Who knows? Maybe he owes a space mob boss some money.

Personal equipment: Besides his weapons (I'll get to those) He carries a couple of odd syringes on his Warframe at all times, sometimes obscured by his syandana.

Weapons: He always carries two Kronen and his two Magnus pistols. He often switches his primary weapon relative to the situation, but at the moment the RP starts he carries an Argonak, owing to its precision and versatility.

Companions: Pets tend to get gibbed easily when shot, and Clogori would rather not clean up what amounts to chunky salsa every time a kubrow gets hit with a shotgun.

I have a few concerns with Clogori, you see.
First - The rumors that he's apparently rich enough to have members of the Perrin Sequence in his pockets? That's outlandishly rich. A Tenno of that caliber would have virtually no need to assist in the the task required of him, and he certainly doesn't seem like the philanthropist.

Additionally, I know you're trying to get a mysterious vibe going, but there's an awful lot of "Who knows, Tee-hee-hee" going on here - A lot more than I'd like personally. Those syringes, for one example.

By all means this isn't wrong, but I am a tad concerned that he won't mesh well with the folks that Hystruc is hiring, considering that a majority of the people sit on the neutral-good axis of alignment, if we use that.
So if you will, take a look at the Tenno section and reconsider a thing or two - Or go & explain in more detail for me. Preferably both.
Acceptance into the RP is pending until the above situation is resolved.

BEHOLD! THE RESULT OF AT LEAST AN HOUR OF ARGUING OVER LORE JUST TO JUSTIFY THE EXISTENCE OF ONE CHARACTER!

LYSANDRA! ELIRAM! CHAUCET! (Pronounced 'shaw-say' by the way)

 

Name: Lysandra Eliram Chaucet

Apparent Age: 21
Actual Age: Precursor Tenno*, age unkown

Appearance: 6"0, black hair, tanned skin, green eyes. Toned muscles.

Personality: Happy-go-lucky, flirty, headstrong and bullish. A human(ish) battering ram on business, a party girl on break.

Affiliation: Self-employed mercenary.

Modus Operandi: Pick up a job, complete an objective, get out alive. Have fun along the way.

Personal Equipment:
Zephyr Warframe. Prisma Edo arm and leg armour with Prisma Daedalus chestplace. Because how else can you advertise both opulence and effectiveness besides glowing armour?

Weaponry:
Tenora Assault Rifle, loaded with hollow-point rounds (read: critical hit machine)
Brakk Handcannon, loaded with 'Corpus Killer' munitions (Toxic shells mixed with EMP shells)
Cyath-Strike Staff Zaw

Companions:
A Helios drone, affectionally nicknamed 'Snaps.' Deconstructor attack prescept disabled - sole purpose is to provide recon and take photos of everything.

*^{This little detail is why I said 'The result of at least an hour arguing over lore.' Jesus christ, is this what a Malkavian feels like? Causing a riot by asking one little question? Jesus christ, I mean, it was a fun playthrough of Bloodlines to be the batty little bastard, but holy crimminy on a cracker, I JUST WANTED A QUESTION ANSWERED, NOT A THESIS. *retreats to cry in the corner*}

Nothing wrong here, We went over this in Spacey's discord channel - Lysandra makes it into the RP.

Name: Takar Lathra

Race: Tenno

Gender: Female

Apparent Age: 18

Biological Age: 28 out of stasis, unknown number in stasis

Appearance:

  Reveal hidden contents

^{Sorry for the low quality.}

Personality: Takar is normally very serious about what she is doing. She tends to be very studious, and likes calm and order. Even in the middle of a heated battle, she can find a way to have peace and quiet. Normally by making everything else shut up. She does not like anyone who is chaotic or impulsive, preferring to think out her actions with logic.
She also has a strong sense of Morality, and an equally strong desire to protect the human settlements and the allies of the Tenno.

Affiliations: Has very close ties to the Perrin Sequence, due to their similar ideological goals. Also maintains a connection with Steel Meridian, though she rarely does any jobs for them.

Modus Operandi: Her first objective is always to complete the mission. Her second objective is to find and catalogue anything and everything she can. She is very careful to not let this get in the way of her first objective. She also would like to see some level of system-wide peace, but has no idea how such a concept could be implemented.

Important Traits:
Mostly Blind. She uses the Void to see, along with excellent hearing and sense of vibration.
Dataficier: Has a limitless Eidetic Memory. Can recall information very quickly. Knows a lot about Old War events, not so much about current ones, outside of her personal experiences.
'Nerd?'(still not sure what to call it): Has little combat experience (both in and out of a warframe). Relies on her warframe for survival and combat prowess (aiming, movement, etc.) when not in a transference chair.
Focus Schools: Completely proficient in Zenurik, due to time spent studying. Minor proficiencies in Vazarin (can heal/revive, not much more) and Naramon (void walking can be sustained longer, can see a battle through the party's shared experience).

Personal Equipment: Takar always carries a Zaw dagger and a Schwaak Amp on her ever since a little 'incident' that left her completely weaponless aside from her Void powers. She also tends to carry an Arca Scisco, though not all the time.

Mission Equipment: As a Tenno, she has access to a fair number of weapons and frames she has collected since her Awakening, most of them simply studied and forgotten, but with a few that she specializes in or just plain enjoys.
For this first mission, she is taking a Trinity Prime, a Vectis, her Arca Scisco, and her personalized Plauge Kripath Zaw rapier named 'Lips of an Adder'.

  Reveal hidden contents

Companion: She normally brings her trusty Carrier Prime, with enemy/loot highlighting, vacuum, ammo conversion, and no weapons. It can also rebuild itself a few times if critically damaged.
If the mission calls for it, or she just feels like it, she will bring her playful Smeeta Kavat instead. She has gene-masked it to look like a feral kavat, and trained it to take out entire enemy squadrons. Assuming, of course, that it actually listens to her instead of playing with its tail.

  Reveal hidden contents

 

Left in some things that I feel are important to her character, even if they weren't stated on the character sheet template.

If I'm missing anything, let me know.

A person whom also returns from the Fortuna! Presuming the survivors who ran amok on the derelict all met up at some point, I'd image J'kotal will be glad to see a familiar face. Takar makes it into the RP.

LET THE COPY-PASTING COMMENCE!!!

Name: Lucas Edwards
Race: Human
Gender: Male

Apparent Age: 40
Biological Age: 35

Appearance: 5’10”, with a medium build and light skin, topped off with a brown crew-cut. Brown eyes, with a scar running down his left cheek (from the left ear-lobe to the corner of his mouth). Also has a 5 o’clock shadow, because razors are hard to come by behind enemy lines…

Personality: Level headed, professional and straight-forward, however can be a sarcastic little sh1t when people or events get on his nerves. When relaxing, he tends to loosen up a bit - more laid back and actually has a sense of humour - but alcohol may be required to get him going.

Affiliation: Officially a freelance solo contractor but has been known to affiliate mostly with Steel Meridian

Modus Oporandi: Was notified of a transmission through the steel meridian, and decided to check it out.

Personal Equipment: Grey/black Combat fatigues with an optional pressurised undersuit for space-borne operations (stored in ship at this stage - will equip if necessary along with helmet.) Does have some level of small-arms fire protection (due to ballistic fiber being laced into the fabric weave) and a shield generator for personal protection.

Weaponry
Primary: Modified Argonak Assault rifle. Basically the same as the grineer version, but with upgrades to the optics and the barrel. The upgraded optics system is a dual mode hybrid system created to maximise the effectiveness of the weapon in different situations. The first mode is the standard laser sight – highlights enemies within the field of view to make acquisition easier. However, the second mode is a telescopic thermal scope – 2-8x zoom and able to distinguish targets through thick smoke. Range is a little longer than the laser sight when the target is unobstructed (smoke does not count), but wall penetration is limited to obscure smudges in the next room. The barrel has a magnetic coil attached to it, adding a decent amount of armour or enemy penetration. A well-aimed shot can take out 2 un-armoured enemies, and armour damage reduction is reduced by half.

Secondary: Lex pistol - modified to the point where it's basically a lex prime with no gold trim (shiny stuff is easy to see, y'know). Has a flashlight (oh-so-ceremonially hose-clamped to the side of the barrel) and a red-dot sight attached, and also has a slight damage boost due to a beefed up barrel (magnetic stuffins making the bullet go faster and what-not - basically add a half ranked hornet strike and some crit damage/chance bods on there and you got Lucas' Pistol, ok?)

Melee: Old-a$$ combat knife he found somewhere as a kid. Don't ask where, just know that it's about the same damage as a single fang dagger. (As stated in siren's call - it's a KA-BAR 1217. I couldn't be a$$ed to find the picture again)

Other equipment: Breaching charges, grenades, wrist-mounted interface for hacking/coms/what-not, and a mini-fabricator he "relenquished" off of a corpus science officer to make ammo on the fly (just don't expect it to pop out instantly, takes about 15 seconds per clip of ammunition)

A solid character, There isn't really anything for me to pick out, save for the KA-BAR 1217 - I can write it off as a cheap, common combat knife, but other than that, an actual KA-BAR would almost be a fossilized relic by this time period.
Other than that tiny nitpick, Lucas makes it to the RP.

Another day, another fully fleshed out character, Forte makes it into this RP, but you may want to clarify one thing:
Her means of learning about the job offer - You'd need to know about basic Tenno encryption to even learn of the offer. Perhaps someone in the Perrin Sequence or Steel Meridian gave her a bit of a heads up as to the offer? Other than that, another solid entry.

Now we're just waiting on Supershadic & IceDragonofAmber, who have both expressed interest in joining this RP as well.

Or something. Also I kinda just finished work, gonna leave this here and probably re-read it when I wake up later X____X See you all in a few...

Spoiler

 

Full Name: Forte Luxe
Gender: Female
Race: Corpus
Age: 29
Apparent Age: 19

Appearance:
Features: Standing at a clean five feet tall, Forte is on the smaller side, but has the leaner, lower-body focused physique of a runner or climber. Her hair is short, straight and black, pulled back behind her china face. With powdery cheeks, nervous brown eyes, severe eyebrows, and rebellious pout for a mouth - her features do little to mask her youth on the occasion they are not hidden behind her helmet.
Attire: Forte dresses simply in long-sleeved, nondescript slacks of grey and brown. In the field, these are worth underneath her outfit’s characteristic dark blue jumpsuit, which is in turn under a set of hazmat-grade, greyish bunker gear. On her head, she wears a sturdy helmet not unlike those of any other Corpus crewman, except featuring bright red highlights, likely to signal her as specialized personnel. It offers vital head protection, oxygen supply and filtration while providing the standard voice modulators, personal communications and also limited thermal imagery that one might come to expect of Corpus technology.

Personality:
Forte hasn’t quite outgrown the rash and rebellious phase of a young and active adulthood. She does her absolute best to keep a level head during operations, but still retains quite a bit of puppylike enthusiasm. Following recent events, she is a little more glum and jittery, prone to bouts of moodiness and emotional vulnerability and lower stress tolerance.
Affiliation:
Intelligent Civillian Defenses - A Corpus private contractor, specializing in salvage, disaster control, rescue and contraband recovery. Her father is the founder of said organization.
Corpus - The family still stems from the Corpus body. Her parent's interests ultimately align with the concepts of profit, despite the problem-solving work that they do.

History:
Forte is one of two children between Serre Cade and Darryn Luxe. Her mother was a prominent geneticist and researcher in Dr Intehb’s Kubrow incubation facility on Jupiter, while her father commanded a Corpus outfit of elite salvage and rescue agents. Inspired by the retrievers and sniffer canines of an ancient era, her mother resigned and sought to continue her research into Kubrow genetics on her own, and dealt with Tenno to procure the material and specimens she needed to complete it. The family managed to secure their own Incubator segments and equipment, and with it began to raise and train Kubrows for use in their outfit’s operations. Darryn Luxe had high hopes for his daughter, and taught her personally from the tender(by Corpus standards) age of seventeen to be his successor in the field one day. Plucked from the gruelling education and conditioning of business inheritance that most Corpus youths her age generally face, she eagerly immersed herself in her new surroundings and expectations. By the age of twenty-nine, she had nineteen accomplished missions under her belt, most of them with her Kubrow by her side.

The outfit’s success in small-scale, private operations began to draw unwanted attention over the past few years. A sponsor of Dr Intehb’s Kubrow genetic research set Darryn up with an ill-fated contract - to board and save a cargo vessel suffering from a supposed oxygen leak, on autopilot to Venus while the crew were placed in stasis. The operation was a disaster, with their gas tanker mysteriously exploding upon boarding. All of their outfit’s on-board crew perished except Darryn, whose Kubrow had already led him into the cargo vessel’s gas cycling plant after sniffing out an apparent fire. With his tanker ship obliterated and oxygen supplies rapidly depleting, he forced the vessel into an atmospheric dive, crashing it into a far-flung Venusian irrigated trench and rendering it irrecoverable. Darryn survived by low-altitude escape pod, but was quickly arrested and imprisoned, pending numerous lawsuits that would send him beyond bankruptcy. His spouse fared little better in his absence - being sued for damages to her former employer’s biological research, and thrown into a different prison far away from him.

That was three weeks ago. Left without her parents, every friend she had ever known except her loyal Kubrow and with only her older brother as a legal custodian, the all-too-young Forte faced an insurmountable amount of debt, and the hostile world she owed it to. After days of tears, whitened knuckles, hammering on walls and heated arguments with the only family she had left, she decided that she had wallowed in despair for about long enough. Her brother was right - the first step was to bail their father out and conduct their own investigations into the tragedy that had befallen their livelihood. To do that, they needed credits. A lot of it.

And not so far away from their tiny little civillian craft, from some salvage yards in a certain Venus sector, that was exactly what a new client was offering.

Personal Equipment:
Forte carries several gear items from her line of work. Heavy-duty rope coils, various hooks, anchors and carabiners, a zipline ascender, fireman’s knife and ciphers are held securely in a tool belt around her waist.
Weaponry: 
Not a combatant by nature, some of her equipment do function as weaponry, and have seen use as such in isolated incidents against hostile forces. 
Spectra - Primarily used for cutting open entry points and parting wreckage, Forte has used it to destroy Infested Hives and the hordes of Infested from which they spawned - to great efficacy.
Lecta - With its strong, versatile cord that can even be used as wiring for equipment in a pinch, Forte uses this tool to signal her companion Grendel, and also as a self-defense weapon.

 

Companion:
Name: Grendel
Gender: Male
Breed: Sahasa Kubrow
Age: 4

A birthday gift to Forte, from the success of her parents’ Kubrow incubation and training program. Grendel is a large Kubrow of Sahasa lineage, with golden medium-length fur and charcoal-tipped paws and ears. Grendel is highly intelligent and well-trained in sniffing out fires, casualties and even hazardous and contraband material, and a loyal attack hound when anything threatens his master.
 

 

 

 

 

I think Takar will get along just fine with her. And having a kubrow along for the ride is always good.

A person whom also returns from the Fortuna! Presuming the survivors who ran amok on the derelict all met up at some point, I'd image J'kotal will be glad to see a familiar face. Takar makes it into the RP.

And now you know why I talked about loadout pics in our PM.

I find that they help me visualize what's what during the RP, and figured I'd let everyone else see them this time.

[Cryptix123]

Name: Damien Wayls

Apparent Age: 16

Actual Age: 1536 verging on 1537 soon.

Appearance: Waiting until I can hop in game but a dark skinned Tenno with ear implants. He prefers wearing a Steel Meridian skinsuit if he even bothers showing up in his true form at all, but will wear a Zariman suit when appropriate.

Personality: Damien is callous and bitter after having left the Lotus but he still retains some of his pre-Awakening personality, mainly his compassion for people being oppressed and his love for animals big and small.

Affiliation: Steel Meridian higher-up with contacts in the Red Veil and Arbiters of Hexis.

Modus Operandi: Damian is searching for a holy grail - a supposed Orokin artefact that can erase the mental trauma he suffers from the ambush. The Lotus says that his agoraphobia is incurable, but the Steel Meridian supports his quest. Still, artefact hunting is a dangerous and expensive work, and Damien holds no grudges against the Corpus.

Personal Equipment: Wherever Damien is, you can guarantee his Warframes Crime (Nidus) and Punishment (Harrow) will be following. In addition, he has a custom-made Amp from the quills and a Kraken on his person at all times. Just in case.

Weaponry: Damien's warframes are most commonly sighted with Tenno and Grineer Weaponry, including the Soma Prime, Zarr, Jat Kittag, Scourge, Twin Grakatas, and Soma Prime. He also dabbles in infested weaponry, from a tangent in his research long ago into the Technocyte virus.

Companions: Damien is accompanied either by his Carrier Prime or by his huge Helminth Charger Vay Hek, named so due to its unique color scheme and squashed face.

 

History:

Damien was your normal Tenno prior to the Awakening, having fallen in with the Steel Meridian due to his strong sense of justice. As his career as a Tenno continued however, Damien's journey was punctuated by increasing distrust in the Lotus and her guidance. It began with the revelation of Natah's origins by Hunhow - Damien had suspected since the Stolen Dreams that the Lotus was keeping something from them, and this only proved his point. When he was Awakened, he was attacked in transit by the Shadow Stalker. Though he was largely unharmed, it left him with a perilous fear of going outside in his Operator form. The attack was the last straw for Damien - knowing that this could have been prevented by simply telling the Tenno their true nature before they were in danger, he cut off ties with the Lotus and threw himself into his duties with the Steel Meridian. Rapidly rising through the ranks, Damien showed great determination in the face of incredible odds and became a general, despite his young apparent age. The revelations of Rell have both confirmed Damien's beliefs in leaving the Lotus to be the right choice, and pushed him to begin coordinating with the Red Veil on researching the phenomena known as the Man in the Wall.

Appearance: Waiting until I can hop in game but a dark skinned Tenno with ear implants due to deafness. He prefers wearing a Steel Meridian skinsuit if he even bothers showing up in his true form at all, but will wear a Zariman suit when appropriate.

Personality: Damien is callous and bitter after losing his hearing to the Shadow Stalker but he still retains some of his pre-Awakening personality, mainly his compassion for people being oppressed and his love for animals big and small.

Affiliation: Steel Meridian higher-up (I'm a General with them in game, is that all right?) with contacts in the Red Veil and Arbiters of Hexis.

Modus Operandi: Damian is searching for a holy grail - a supposed Orokin artefact that can restore his hearing. The Lotus says that the damage the Stalker did to his brain is irreparable, but Tal supports his endeavours as best as she can. Still, artefact hunting is a dangerous and expensive work, and Damien holds no grudges against the Corpus.

Personal Equipment: Wherever Damien is, you can guarantee his Warframes Crime (Nidus) and Punishment (Harrow) will be following. In addition, he has a custom-made Amp from the quills and a Kraken on his person at all times. Just in case.

Companions: Damien is accompanied either by his Carrier Prime or by his huge Helminth Charger Vay Hek, named so due to its unique color scheme and squashed face.

Seems like a perfectly good character in this case, but as for his brain damage - Was this prior to reaching his Somatic pod? Even then, I stated in the rules-post that Zariman-type Tenno are punted into the void after taking too much damage,
But that isn't quite what I'm worried about, a quick wiki-walk revealed.

See, the problem with the idea that brain damage impacted his hearing all-round implies he received damage to the Cochlear Nucleus - A part of the brain stem. If that is so, its a miracle he's able to do anything at all with that extent of brain damage. An alternative might be having the left or right side of his face be damaged by the Stalker, but I'm not sure about what else to put out there,

Other than that, He seems like a totally fine OC - Once we get that above issue sorted out.

Name: Meyr

Race: Tenno

Apparent Age: 18

Actual Age: 1000+

Appearance: 5'10" with short brown hair and light blue eyes. He wear a dark orange Zariman suit with the hood off but still attached and has three somatic implants, small pins which are place on his forehead and both of his cheekbones.

Personality: Meyr is a very protective person to those he calls friends and those who are oppressed. He believes in the freedom of people and heavily enforces that ideal as shown towards his intense hatred with the Grineer and memories of the Orokin. While not in battle or on a mission Meyr is a rather friendly guy and is not shy to chat and mess around with others.

Affiliation: Himself, occasionally does jobs for Steel Meridian

Modus Operandi: Take a job, fufill it to his best capability, possibly learn of the intentions of this 'employer'.

Personal Equipment:

Atlas warframe, small gold chain that is wrapped around his (not his warframe's) wrist

Weaponry:

Operator:

Mote Amp

Warframe:

Primary-Tigris

Secondary-Sonicor

Melee-Tekko

Companion:

A happy little carrier sentinel Meyr calls "Cr" for convience. Cr picks up anything they Meyr may have left during the fight and helps convert ammo so he never runs dry.

Meyr seems fine, but after a quick glance at your post history - I do that in regards to every character, by-the-by, I am concerned you will not be able to follow one of the integral rules I set out in the OOC post:

"Absolutely no one-line posts."

Posts you have a history of in other RP's.
I have no problem with your narrative ability, but one-line-posts are bereft of any character, and can clutter up a thread faster than the eye can blink.
To that end,
Can I trust you to avoid posting like that?

It began with the revelation of Natah's origins by Hunhow - Damien had suspected since the Stolen Dreams that the Lotus was keeping something from them, and this only proved his point. When he was Awakened and ambushed by the Shadow Stalker on his Orbiter due to the influence of Hunhow later on, he suffered severe brain trauma from sheer force of the former Tenno's blows. He now requires implants just to be able to pilot his warframes without suffering from nausea. That was the last straw for Damien - knowing that this could have been prevented by simply telling the Tenno their true nature before they were in danger, he cut off ties with the Lotus and threw himself into his duties with the Steel Meridian. Rapidly rising through the ranks, Damien's assassination of the Elder Queen with the help of Teshin Dax caused him to become a general and advisor to Cressa Tal, despite his young apparent age. The revelations of Rell have both confirmed Damien's beliefs in leaving the Lotus to be the right choice, and pushed him to begin coordinating with the Red Veil on researching the phenomena known as the Man in the Wall. 
*Snip*

Changes, that have regrettably punted said character back into the uncertain category.

I get that you want to put your Tenno character in here, but there comes a point where you have to stray from what happens exactly in the game.
For example, your entire history is, well, Warframes entire history up until this point. Not to mention, being key to so many key events blows the supposed importance of this character and into the bigshot league.

Another example, the slaying of the Elder Queen. We're talking about the literal decapitation of the Grineer empire. This is a massive event universe wise, and you wish to play as the Tenno responsible? This simply will not do.

Another example on top of that, is whilst you may be a general in-game, that doesn't put you in the direct presence of Cressa Tal. She's a syndicate leader, and your character plot-wise, no place among the other RP'ers here - They would be out elsewhere doing more mission critical things.

As far as the overall plot for this setting, allow me to set everything in stone.
All major story events within Warframes lore, are events performed by an anonymous Tenno. We are all one of many others who have felt the repercussions of such events thereof. Therefore, Do not assume you have had any hand in those.

Now, I'm fine with your character having the Syndicate rank of General, but Tenno remain ultimately remain free-agents and thusly out of the inner circle. This gives you the reason to be here, and the leeway as for why. You, along many others remain anonymous agents, and should be knowledgeable of that fact.

Additionally, your character need not have been given that amount of trauma. You ought be able to run about and do operator stuff. Just tone it way down, like having a cybernetic prosthetic, or a peg-leg. That adds a tad of character, and doesn't relegate you to the cripple chair.

As for mental trauma, May I suggest a fear of being vulnerable? All Zariman children were vulnerable at one point or another, during transit from Lua to their Orbiter. Presumably, either the Stalker or one of his acolytes tried to stop you. Even though all Zariman-Type tenno are functionally immortal, having become a permanent fixture of the Void itself, I imagine it would still be paralyzing to a degree to feel that vulnerable.

Allright that's it for now, I urge you to take the above into consideration.

Ah yes don't worry about that. I do one line posts for those threads as it seems to be the majority of those posts. I've rped on multiple sites and can easily do paragraphs for posts.

Another day, another fully fleshed out character, Forte makes it into this RP, but you may want to clarify one thing:
Her means of learning about the job offer - You'd need to know about basic Tenno encryption to even learn of the offer. Perhaps someone in the Perrin Sequence or Steel Meridian gave her a bit of a heads up as to the offer? Other than that, another solid entry.

I'll clarify that in the IC introduction post! =D

Ah my mistake. I didn't realize. So we're not the one actually doing the story quests, but we're still affected by the decisions they made?

[Almighty_Jado]

Crap, for some reason my post didn't send. Standby for hotfix

[Almighty_Jado]

Name: Holden Telum

Race: Human (Red Veil)

Gender: Male

Age/Mental Age: 76 (apparent age cannot be distinguished due to Red Veil operative  attire).

Appearance: A standard Red Veil operative. While in uniform, members of this syndicate do not stand out, which is encouraged among their ranks. Individualism leads to split ideas, while the Red Veil seeks unification through the fire that will cleanse the world.

Bio: This Son of Rell is a devout follower of the monastic cult of the Red Veil. Ever since a child he had learned of the dangers that lurk on the other side of the wall. He obeys the Veil’s council without question as he completes his assignments with brutal efficiency.

Equipment: Holden has trained for over 20 years to shoot bows. As such, he is proficient with his Rakta Cernos, as well as his sidearm, the Rakta Ballistica. He always conceals a Dark Dagger on his person just in case. Lastly, his favourite weapon to use is his Dark Split Sword. Only the most prestigious of the Red Veil May wield this unique weapon in combat. note: All of Holden’s weapons are laced with a deadly viral toxin. This is standard issue to Red Veil assassin, as it ensures their target dies, even if the initial attack doesn’t kill. The virus used, known as “Smallpox”, predates even the Orokin Empire, and majority of modern civilization no longer carries the medical knowledge to treat such a disease; the Red Veil do hold a cure in a secure, secret location. Holden himself is immunized against the disease in case of accidents.

@InfiniumV sorry if I'm too late. Slightly mad my post didn't work; the forums decided it would be funny to not actually upload this thing like 2 days ago
Also I like having my characters in one RP at a time, so if I may (if you still are willing to include Holden) he might have a delayed appearance. Up to you captain GM
