>DISCLAIMER: This quest will contain turn-based strategy battles and nudity.

This is a story of many strange events, and many characters. But one warrior stands out above the rest as the 'main' character.

What did this character fight for?

>note: I will probably leave this first post up for a while to give more time for potential players to vote for the protagonist

Hinzes, of the Atuhalla Clan, is an Engsami who has dedicated her life to a mission.

Her younger brother was kidnapped by raiders months ago, and she has taken on the role of a bounty hunter in order to take her revenge on them. Ultimately, she hopes to find and recover her brother. Either way, she has already chosen her path and made her peace with it.

There's no sneaking up on the raider encampment in the desert, the terrain is far too sparse. Hinzes doesn't care, though. Even knowing she's coming won't spare them.

They appear to be a small band, and are doing something with their supplies. There is no surprise though, before she is even in range to open fire they sound an alarm and gather their arms.
>>
No. 548129 ID: fc937d

Right. So outnumbered, no element of surprise, and no cover from incoming fire.

What are our advantages? You must have something going for you to be so sure you're going to destroy them.

>CHARACTER ATTRIBUTES PRIMER

>In the left section of the character sheet, a character's name, class, and attributes are listed.
>Below the character's level and experience, the listed attributes and their respective icons are:
>Health - Influences a character's maximum stamina
>Striking - Influences a character's damage with melee weapons
>Shooting - Influences a character's damage with ranged weapons
>Defense - Reduces damage a character receives when hit
>Speed - Influences the frequency with which a character receives turns during a battle. A character with higher speed will act earlier and more often.
>Luck - Influences accuracy, evasion, ability activation, and other mysterious events
>Recovery - Influences the rate at which a character recovers Stamina

>The second section shows a character's equipment and abilities
>A character may equip a one-handed item in each hand, or one two-handed item.
>A character may have one back-up item, which may only be a single one-handed item.

>Weapon Stats: A weapon will list its Type (melee or ranged) as an icon, followed by its name. A weapon with an (H) tag in its name is a heavy weapon, and may not be fired after moving.
>The number immediately following a weapon's name is its power. Higher-power weapons will do more damage.
>The next number is a weapon's range. It will either be a single number (like 1) or a range of numbers (like 3-5). A weapon may be used to attack any enemy within the range specified by the weapon.
>The final section of a weapon listing is its usage limits. An 'A' means that the weapon carries a limited stock of ammunition, and an 'S' means a weapon consumes stamina when used to attack. The number after the letter indicates either the amount of remaining ammunition or the amount of stamina required to attack.
>Usually, melee weapons require stamina while ranged weapons require ammunition.

>The 6 sections below the weapon section show the character's equipped items in their Hat, Arms, Chest, Waist, Legs, and Feet categories

>The bottom of the center section shows the special abilities of a character. Hinzes knows the ability 'stubborn' at Rank 1. This cause her to increase her attack, defense, and luck when the total remaining value of her stamina and AP is reduced.

>The final section shows a character's stamina, the remaining AP of all pieces of equipment, and their movement type and distance. On a character's turn, they may move a number of squares equal to the distance listed.
>A character who loses all AP and stamina is defeated. A character with 0 stamina is stunned, and can take no action other than to recover stamina.

>On a character's turn, they may take one of several types of action:
>A character may move and make an attack with a single non-heavy weapon of choice.
>A character may make an attack with a heavy weapon of choice.
>A character may move and use an item.
>A character may move and 'Take a Breather,' allowing them to recover stamina equal to their Recovery attribute.

>A character may choose to do only ONE of move, attack with a non-heavy weapon, or take a breather. A character who takes only a single action will receive their next turn sooner.

>A character may pass their turn, receiving their next turn even sooner.

Hinzes seizes the initiative, acting first!

>acting first gives an immediate bonus turn to the team that receives the benefit. In this case, as Hinzes is also faster than her opponents, she will get two turns at the beginning of combat!

>Ganging up on opponents is an effective strategy, for allies OR enemies!
>Consecutive attacks against a target who does not get a turn between them will receive increased accuracy and damage!

Hinzes takes advantage of her speed to swiftly reload and fire again, dealing an additional 6 damage!

The Engsami falls to the ground stunned, and cannot act on this turn!

The remaining Engsami move closer, with the leader taking cover behind a barrel

It is tempting to keep pouring shots into the advancing targets, but Hinzes decides to plan ahead and think tactically in this case. She gives a slight bit of ground, stepping away.

Hinzel follows the enemy's approach, using her extra speed to attack an enemy twice!

>TRADING BLOWS
>Characters respond to attacks. By default, characters will attempt to counter any attack leveled at them. If the character is attacked by an enemy who is currently within range of their equipped weapon, they may strike back and damage the opponent out of turn!
>A character may also choose to defend against all attacks that would be leveled at them over the course of a turn, reducing the damage that they would take by half. However, a character who chooses to act defensively may not counter against any attacker!

The Engsami lashes back with his axe (whoops not a spear at all, my bad), But cannot strike true against Hinzes! He tears at her coat and the shirt beneath it, but no lasting damage is dealt.

Hinzes uses her next turn to continue her assault, Downing her opponent with a savage blow!

The remaining Engsami continue their unwavering approach.

Hinzes Finishes off the opponent near her, pausing to catch her breath. The other axe-weilding engsami dashes up, and lands a solid blow! Hinzes manages to avoid any lasting physical damage, but the remaining tatters of her coat are ripped aside by the attacker's axe!

Hinzes weathers the loss of her coat well, striking down the opponent who so cruelly ripped it from her.

>>548465
Tell him that he really shouldn't take this so personally. My reaction is very normal. Please be a professional raider and admit when he's lost and at his opponent's mercy. He owes nothing to your fellow raiders away from this encampment Before you make it clear how personal and unproffesional you can get. If he don't know where your brother's at, then where does slave traffic head? When was the last time you've sold product.

You're allowing a chance for him to get away from this with his life in tact. He shouldn't squander it on petty anger or his supposed "honor between raiders" because lets face facts here, you'd just as soon slave your allies if it was practical to make money or if it was between you or them. And it looks like the latter is the case. If we can't get anything from him, then all he dies with is his fake sense of dignity, because we will track all of the raiders down, and we WILL kill them all until you have your brother.

You're sure he'd do the same in your place.

So please
Lets be reasonable.

You know if he gets particular resistent, we can threaten live with a few of his fingers or toes missing. Ensigami don't have limb regen, right? Maybe threaten sell him into slavery too. So we just take a few, leave the important ones so he's actually valuable to sell.

Yeah, yeah, I think we got the perfect threat here.
Many find it worse to be a crippled slave than a dead man, especially people who put their lives on the line every day for their living. First, we make it so he can never handle a weapon again or run far distances so we can take him hostage and travel to ensure accurate information.

>Hinzes has more important matters on her mind

Hinzes keeps her calm, describing her brother to the man as she casually loads her rifle.

'I never seen anyone like that! Now fuck off!'

Hinzes decides she has had enough of his backtalk, and levels her rifle at him. She makes it clear that she will happily fire if he fails to cooperate. She asks him where they normally send their slaves.

'L-look! Look. Okay, I don't know! You'd have to talk to the boss, but you really don't want to talk to the boss.'

Hinzes demands to know where the boss is, squeezing lightly on her trigger

'HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY! CUT THAT OUT! HE'S --'

The prisoner's eyes roll back into his head, and he passes out.

Hinzes levels her gun at 'the boss,' and demands to know where her brother is.

Oh. It is you. This is ... Unexpected.

Hinzes is shocked to find that 'the boss' apparently knows who she is. She says that if he knows who she is, he knows why she is here.

Feel over yourself to make sure all your parts are present and accounted for and the same as you remember. How you feeling otherwise? Stiff or sore at all? Then wonder how the fuck you're not dead. 'Cause by all rights you ought to be extremely dead right now.

Take a deep sniff of the air and note if anything smells odd.

Keep quiet, just in case somebody is listening, and start feeling over the boxes for any way to easily open them. Don't immediately open them if you do find a way. Instead continue on to the floor and walls to feel around for any doorways, vents, switches, or anything else of note first. Then return to the boxes and quietly open them one at a time, carefully feeling through their contents.

Nevertheless, there is still some small bit of light leaking in through the door, and Hinzes' eyes accustom to the darkness over time.

Hinzes checks over herself, and while she has the occasional cut or bruise from her tussle with the raiders, the strange blast appears not to have harmed her in any way she can determine. She doesn't feel any more sore than she normally does after a hunt.

The air definitely does smell weird, but Hinzes can't really explain how. It almost smells ... cleaner, maybe? It is definitely different.

Hinzes doesn't find anything of note on the walls or door, and can't make anything out through the dark translucent glass on it.

Opening the boxes, Hinzes finds most of them completely empty. But she does find a few small bits of simple clothing, and chooses to put them on.

Hinzes finds some strange clothes in the box. They don't seem like they were designed for an Engsami at all, but she manages to make some 'minor' adjustments with her claws to get her various parts to fit.

Pulling them out of the box she also sees some kind of strange metal bar and what looks like some sort of odd handgun.

She sets about putting the adjusted clothes on, but is interrupted by a loud crash as somebody kicks in the door!

'Dammit! They set an ambush!'

The figure in the door starts to level a crossbow at her, but a smaller figure pushes it down.

'Nah, that's not one of 'em. Just look at it's ass. Come on, we gotta go.

Hinzes, loot and scoot. Get moving with as much stealth as you can. There's a battle going on, and unless one of the two (you hope) sides is The Boss and his minions, you have no part in it. One or the other side could be a useful ally, but they're most irrelevant in your quest for vengeance. You should try to gather as much information as you can on the way out of here, so you'll know which side--if either--is safe to ally with. Remember that you weren't restrained when you came to, suggesting that the side that owns this place may not regard you as a slave. You may even have been rescued!

Hinzes hurriedly finishes getting dressed, including some hasty modifications to the boots and pants so that she is physically capable of wearing them.

Grabbing the bar and the gun, Hinzes hurries out the door after the people she saw. The halls all seem worked and solid, she's not in some sort of tent or hastily constructed. There's also quite a bit of dust in the area, so it probably isn't a place that is often used.

Rushing down the corridors, Hinzes comes up behind the two. One of them is tall and lean, but has strange features that Hinzes is completely familiar with. The other is far shorter, and looks more like an animal than any sort of person she has ever met. Both are carrying crossbows, and it looks like the short one has some sort of sidearm.

Hinzes calls out to them as she runs up, and the taller one spins around quickly as he draws his knife.

'Dammit Surt, it's coming after us!'

'Didn't think it was one of 'em. I'm gonna keep going, Coyote. You handle this.'

Hinzes tells them to hold on, she's not even sure where she is and what's going on.

Tell them you were fighting some big thing and now you're here, and you two don't look like you work for that big thing so she's got no reason not to trust you. Unless you think SHE works for that big thing. You don't want no trabble but you're gonna follow them either way.

Hinzes says that she doesn't really care if they trust her, she just wants to know what the hell is going on. She was fighting some sort of crazy big guy looking for her brother, and ...

Coyote cuts her off.

'Look, I don't care about your life story. None of it makes any sense anyway. We need to keep moving and if you're not going to stay out of our ...' he trails off as the sounds of footsteps and some sort of strange whirring echo from back down the hall.

'Shit. HEY SURT, THEY CAUGHT UP!'

Surt heads back from around a corner.

'Dammit, I need more time to get it open. We're gonna have to run her off.'

A small figure in some sort of strange armor bounds around the corner, with a group of strange things with her that appear to be some sort of moving statue.

The small figure says, to noone in particular that Hinzes can see, 'Looks like it's three of them, not two. Must have met up with an accomplice!'

'Well,' Coyote begins,'You want to show me we can trust you?' He turns to face the strange newcomers, keeping an eye on Hinzes as he readies his weapons, 'I hope you know how to fight.'

Alright so our "gun" has shit range and we don't really have an clue to what the guy with a fish bowl on his head can do so I'm kinda worred about grouping up in fear of that guy having some kind of area attack. Take cover behind the boxes for now and we'll let them come closer to us so we can use the groups teamwork/director skills to tear these bots apart.

Hinzes moves for cover, wanting to observe the situation.

The small figure at the end of the hall speaks again:

'IT APPEARS THAT YOUR LITTLE UNDERLINGS ARE UNWILLING TO DEFEND YOU, SURT! TELL YOU WHAT, I'LL LEAVE MINE TO TAKE CARE OF YOU AS WELL! SUCH AN ASSIGNMENT IS BENEATH ME ANYWAY!'

Surt shouts back at the soldier, 'I haven't done a damned thing against the colonial fleet and you know it! Just go back and leave me be!'

He ducks for cover behind the boxes with Hinzes.

Three of the robots begin to roll down the hall, though two stay back with the soldier.

Hinzes has had enough waiting, and lunges out to strike at the robot leading the attack.

Her strike connects, dealing 5 damage! The drone Snaps its claw shut at her in retaliation, narrowly snipping her hat but doing only 1 damage.

The Drones at the back appear to survey the area, but remain immobile

Coyote steps forward and fires a bolt at the forward drone, damaging it slightly.

Surt steadies his rifle and fires another bolt at the same target, piercing its core and disabling it!

>DRONES
>Drone units can not be stunned. When their stamina is reduced to 0 they are immediately disabled.

One of the drones continues rolling forward, and attempts to grab Coyote with his claw. Coyote is too nimble, and evades the attack! Coyote can not fire his crossbow at point blank range, and cannot counterattack.

The other strikes at Hinzes, hitting her in the chest. The attack does not damage her clothing, though it does wind her slightly.

Hinzes retaliates with her Pipe, dealing 4 damage to the robot!

'IT LOOKS LIKE YOUR LITTLE HELPERS ARE WILLING TO FIGHT AFTER ALL!' The soldier gestures again, and the two other robots begin to approach as well.

>As a note: Hinzes can not move after attacking, and surt can not fire his crossbow after moving.

Hinzes continues bludgeoning the robot with her tool, striking it for 6 damage! The retaliatory pinch nips at her pants, but only does a single point. She takes the opportunity to recover her breath a bit.

Coyote lashes out with his knife, scoring a critical hit! He plunges it between the 'head' and core of the robot, dealing 10 points of damage! The robot's retaliation fails to connect once again.

Surt fires his sniper crossbow at the damaged robot, Disabling it!

The robot Coyote nearly defeated lashes out at him with its claw, Tearing at his vest for 2 damage! Coyote responds in kind, swiftly dispatching the robot with a 3 damage stab.

'I GUESS I WILL BE FORCED TO LOWER MYSELF TO DEALING WITH YOU!'

The Soldier shoulders her large blaster weapon, and begins to approach. She appears to move quickly despite her stubby legs, thanks to her hopping gait.

The first of her remaining drones approaches, and fires an electric blast that strikes Coyote despite his cover! His vest is singed, taking 3 damage, while he takes 2 directly to his stamina!

The final drone moves around to flank, firing at Hinzes! The blast strikes her, but her clothing dissipates the energy and she takes no damage!

Surt Fires on the drone, dealing 4 points of damage! The drone is unable to retaliate from such long range.

Coyote Fires at the badly damaged drone, scoring a critical hit for 5 points of damage, defeating it!

Hinzes moves behind the boiler for cover, catching her breath after her close call with the blaster rifle.

The remaining Drone moves forward and fires its shock blaster at Surt, dealing superficial damage to his sweater and beret.

Surt fires a shot at the final drone remaining, dealing it 4 damage!

Coyote rushes over to Surt's side, firing another bolt into the robot. It takes another 2 damage from the assault.

Hinzes Pauses to catch her breath one last time, and then draws her nailgun and runs toward Klip.

'IF YOU INSIST ON OBSTRUCTING ME...'

Klip turns and fires her rifle at Hinzes, but her aim is off and the shot does fairly little damage, singing her pants and boots. Hinzes responds to the shot with a burst of nails, dinging off of Klip's Helmet and doing 3 damage.

The drone fires another shot at Surt, dealing 1 damage to his sweater. Surt's retaliatory shot, however, pierces the robot's optical screen and shuts it down!

Coyote rushes up as well, lashing out with his knife. Klip attempts to hop out of the way, but his blade finds purchase in her pants as well!

Hinzes rushes up behind her and strikes a crushing blow with her tool, dealing significant damage to the Helmet! It has begun to crack!

Klip Wildly fires her rifle at Coyote, Nearly burning his pants clean off and damaging his boots significantly!
