Is it wrong that after that last post, I'm imagining some of the characters running into Kol serving food at a noodle restaurant at random times of the day due to her progressively later sleep schedule?

Though Kol's in luck. At this stage in her hospital trip, the doctors would probably let her sleep as much as she wants because doing so would promote a quick recovery.

I don't recall giving her the power to teleport...

I had wondered if I'd misread where Shaska arrived, near to CORP...

Posted: **Mon Dec 21, 2020 9:47 pm**

Yeah, I know, I know...

I'm going to go back and make the necessary changes.

Posted: **Mon Dec 21, 2020 10:03 pm**

Fixed.

Planning on writing tomorrow. If you haven't posted, try to do so soon!

A little tip of the hat to the wonderful webcomic 'Tamberlane' there.

Trissol is their version of Sign Language.

Having just let go of this site and undoing that not seven minutes later, it’s time for me to try to build a new sheet that exists.

Character Name: Numberbard
~~Code name:~~
Speech color: #576711
Type: Main
Species: TI1184 Supercalculator.
Age: 33 years
Neighborhood: Bacon of hope (you can’t stop me from calling it bacon of hope okay.)
Powers: Can manipulate any gel within 50 feet.
Weakness: division of 4+ digit numbers by negative zero leaves him stuck calculating for a bit, somewhere around 5 minutes, it’s an odd flaw of the processor.
Appearance: Similar shell to the TI84 of the 21st century, but with two extra rows of buttons, a thumbstick tacked onto the side (a modification, not part of the official 1184s), and a 32:25 LCD display, however, he usually uses his power to encase himself into a humanoid shape
Personality: Numberbard is always trying to modify himself to obtain something close to the full human mind, to obtain humor, or happiness, or even the ability to feel physical things, as he was only given one thing: empathy.
Other Notes: His home planet is called Fryloia, located in one of the Milky Way’s arms, and had a lot of trading with Earth. Having been accidentally made self aware by a college student’s attempt at making a Quake source port for the TI1184, he was returned to the college where, somehow, he obtained his power. Luckily, the college had added empathy subroutines in case of sudden self-awareness as Fryloia’s safety code of electronics requires it.

S.P.E.C.I.A.L. Stats:
Strength: 3 (come on he uses gelatin, what did you expect)
Perception: 6
Endurance: 7
Charisma: 3
Intelligence: 10 (it’s a supercalculator.)
Agility: 6
Luck: 6
Power: 5

you're... a calculator so advanced it became self aware and developed hydrokenesis? what the heck?

Well, it's an interesting concept. Adds something unusual, subtracts the clichés, multiplies the mystery and divides opinion?

It is certainly a unique concept...

And it isn't entirely out of place in the setting. We've had plenty weirder characters.

As I said, it is certainly a unique concept. My only concern is the ability to manipulate gelatin is a fairly niche power... He'd find he'd only have his own gel to manipulate most of the time.

Otherwise, the character seems fine.

Strictly speaking Gelatin is present in the body as part of our Collagen. It's also find in foodstuffs.

Posted: **Mon Feb 15, 2021 11:34 pm**

Btw, I'm sorry it's taking me so long to post...

I don't think I have the energy to finish writing tonight. I will have it done tomorrow, though.

I’m surprised you didn’t subtract points for it being due to a quake source port instead of, say, a source port of the hypothetical big hit of the 2990s, which would’ve been similar to how DooM was ported to the TI84 last decade. Not to mention a video game from the 2990’s would also likely have the advances to accidentally have it create artificial intelligence.

In case you're wondering, Corp's thoughts are a reference to Red Dwarf.

Kryten:
Whatever it is, they clearly have a technology way in advance of our own!

Lister:
So do the Albanian State Washing Machine Company.

And it's followed by one of the most iconic gags Red Dwarf ever did...

Just to let you guys know, I got a new job!

It's a full time software development position, Monday through Friday.

This means my schedule for writing is going to be changing. Instead of Monday and Tuesday off, I'm going to have Saturday and Sunday off where I can write.

So that means it's best to get your own posts in by Fridays or Saturdays if you can.

I suppose I should elaborate on what the Amber technology is like.

Amber is very firm and resists a lot of force. However, it is highly ductile, meaning it will deform before it breaks. This actually helps in keeping targets restrained, especially when the glob of amber is large enough. As the target pushes or pulls against the Amber and it reaches it's ultimate strength point, the material flexes. Cracks that form don't typically expand.

Hivemind removes the amber by dissolving it. acidic substances can disrupt the molecular bonds in the Amber. Submerging an Amber coated limb in lemon juice for an hour or so can soften it enough to peel the substance off.

Figures i spend several posts setting up an opportunity to demonstrate what shaska can do, and get interupted at the last second >.<

for anyone questioning my logic here; someone carrying around a pair of energy weapons would have power cells for them. lithium is an excellent power storage medium, it makes sense for it to be inside a glorified battery. it's also one of the more potent bases out there. this things blood is currently an acid so strong it's caustic. acids and bases react violently to each other. heat usually accelerates chemical reactions.

So, while the heat and acid are what's keeping amber and ice from containing it, they also make it EXTREMELY vulnerable to a base being introduced into it's system being destructive. hopefully destructive enough to make it reverse that adaptation in order to protect itself.

Impressive.

That is exactly the correct solution to this problem. I was wondering if anyone would think of it. A powerful basic solution will cause an incredibly violent reaction, and the creature can't be adapted for acid and for a base at the same time. It either will refuse to adapt because it necessitates removing a previous adaptation, or it will adapt and thus lose the adaptations that prevent it's capture.

Forgot to mention this yesterday, but the "Reverse/Re:birth" shirt is my take on one of those weird pop culture crossover shirts you see all over the place now, like the ones that do famous duos in the style of Calvin and Hobbes, or having every character whose name ends with "ick" as a pickle. It's based on how both the insert song for Kamen Rider Birth and Riku's campaign in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories are called Reverse/Rebirth.

So, when Lewis meets Kolt, the first thing he'll do is geek out?

Posted: **Sun Apr 04, 2021 5:46 pm**

He's not going to do that in public unless it's something REALLY COOL, but he'll definitely ask where Kolt got that shirt if he sees him wear it.

Posted: **Tue Apr 06, 2021 11:38 pm**

I got some expressions done of Kolt, and I can't stop smiling, especially at the bottom one. Look at this handsome doofus.

Just a reminder that tomorrow is Saturday. I typically like to post on Saturday and Sunday, so best get your posts in before then if you can!

Posted: **Fri Apr 23, 2021 2:10 pm**

I'll be posting tonight!

Posted: **Sun May 16, 2021 9:00 pm**

Apologies to all of the people waiting on my posts. I got my second covid shot Friday which took me out of commission Saturday, and due to personal problems I wasn't able to get motivated to write today.

I will try to catch up some tomorrow.

Posted: **Mon May 31, 2021 2:26 am**

ever noticed you misread a post and go. "you know what? no. this is funnier f I have it wrong, im going to find a way to keep that in."

Posted: **Sun Jun 06, 2021 3:14 am**

I apologize for the delay.

I've been visiting family in California the past week and, while I've had loads of time, I've been struggling with getting the motivation to write.

I likely will be too busy to write for much of Tomorrow, but don't worry. I'm not going to make you guys wait another week.

I will work on my rps in what time I have tomorrow, then finish up on Monday if I can't finish it tomorrow.

Posted: **Sun Jun 13, 2021 3:50 pm**

I'm having trouble figuring out how to respond in BoH today. I'll think on it, work on it, and will have it done either today or tomorrow.
