Chao Lingshen Battle intro: I Burn Victory: "Got some good data today." Defeat: "Ugh, I can't let it end like this..." Assist: "Didn't figure you'd ever need help from the likes of me, Captain!" Taunt: "Your tech is good, Captain, but I've made it better!" Reacting to Taunt: "You're right, it's not. And I owe you nothing less than everything I've got!" Flee: "Now I'll demonstrate to you the reverse shundo! It's like the one I hit you with before, but now it's in the other direction! -Gone-" Reacting to Flee: "...Eh? Why... Hmm..." Tie: "Heh... Good show, Captain. Let's do it again, sometime." Perfect Victory: "Technology, magic, and skill. I got it all. You might say I'm on fire." EDIT: Ah hell, didn't notice somebody beat me to Erik. D=

Welcome, welcome, it's always nice to see more Raptor folks, even if they're not from La Noscea.

Silliness at USH.

As much as I wish there were, there aren't any dedicated, true, Tier One-level special units in the game. There's a couple FCs that play with the concept, but overall not a known in-game thing.

Not really any moreso than it does (read: doesn't) in the real world.

I think the lore primal was just defeated.

...ouch. What? I've interacted with Erik and Kale, so they spring immediately to mind.

Dog tags aren't for common people. They're used by the military (who had better damn well be literate) to identify bodies after-action.

I haven't seen it mentioned either, but I would strongly ascribe to it. -Dumps a boatload of crystals in an effort to summon not the lore primal Sounsyy, but Erik and/or Kale, who are the only two big name Flames RPers that I know of-

It's not lore-supported, but I have a character who is part of a school of swordsmanship dedicated to slaying voidsent and exorcising them (violently).

The Red Wings are a high-tech military force and they seem to be doing alright. A lot of people like to do stuff with them, but typically they downplay a lot of their über-tech with people outside their group (except Chao, who Erik gleefully showed off all their stuff to, but that was OOC). I would actually love to find a high-tech, well-organized military force to get involved with on Ganale. (Aww, Imo, I just realized it was you, lulz)

Please do. Bear in mind though that I spend the majority of my time on Chao (not really doing anything) so if you want to interact with one of the others, just ask. /ok I crave RP like a man dying of thirst in the desert wants water.

I haven't fully hammered out the look of Garon's powered armor yet, so for right now I'm using the wootz (crafted) tank chest and feet with a steel barbut (will eventually use poetics tank helmet for glow effects) and either cobalt or mythril hands dyed to match the rest (pants are irrelevant because most feet will cover them anyway). Chao's is much more subtle. Her power armor is being developed in phases. Right now she's in the Mk.I prototype, which I use the aetherial cotton tabard, Flame Elite vambraces (hunt DoW hands), infantry thighboots, and the Gold Saucer Sharlayan goggles for. But the Mk.I doesn't look very power armor-y because it's not supposed to. The stuff is officially designated "Powered Infiltrator Armor" for a reason. Her eventual Mk.II combat version looks much more power armor-y, and is literally the entire Ironworks MNK set but with the Allagan visor of striking instead of the silly Ironworks hat. Mind, that works out for Chao because she's a character from a manga, in which she wore powered armor, and the Ironworks MNK set looks practically spot-on for what she wore in her home setting.

There's lots of groups out there that have/use magiteck while not being affiliated to Garlemald. Offhand, I can think of the Reclaimers, Unsung Heroes, and the Order of the Raven's Eye, all who have fairly extensive magiteck on their hands. For the Reclaimers and the Ravens, it's because they pillage Garlean shipping and castrums willy-nilly. Unsung Heroes happen to have two quite-intelligent (if I do say so myself) magitek researchers under their roof, at least one of whom was once conscripted by Garlemald and thus knows most of their technology inside and out. Incidentally, living in a place that was conquered by Garlemald, being conscripted, and then fleeing to Eorzea is exactly Chao's backstory. Honestly, in some circles it's a mark of accomplishment to have pillaged something from Garlemald. Garon knicked an entire suit of (I forget what rank I used but enough for it to be powered) armor off a guy who died at Carteneau, then upgraded it. Yuuna's main firearms are a pair of Garlean pistols she killed a guy for. Or scavenged. I haven't written her backstory yet to have determined which.

I sure hope so. I'd be annoyed to have gotten all four early access days off from work for nothing. Only to have my one PS4 buddy in Ishgard ahead of us. >.>

Okay, Chao will be there. I have found a technology I can showcase that is not a weapon, violently self-destructive forbidden magic, or classified to a ludicrous degree because she trusts no one with it. I need to see a man about a macro, but she'll show off her flat-space dimensional compression technology (name pending but probably final due to laziness). EDIT: Literally moments after I hit submit, I remembered pactio. So can I do both? I'd like to do both. But if I can only do one, I'll do pactio. Mental reminder: Share this nefarious scheme brilliant, dare I say genius idea with Satomi.

\o/ That may be double the work but idgaf. I usually wind up capped on Chao by the weekend with how much t2 I farm anyway. Now I can get a new item every week!

What's sad is that the closest I have to this obvious gag character is Chao...

Well yes, but if the impression was that it's normal to see tan Seekers, I'd have gotten to preen a bit about having two pale Seekers.

Non-RP'd battles probably don't count, I wager. Looks at that -/-/- scorecard...

Not sure if implying tanned Seekers is the norm or the unusual.

It took my group....two? Three? On day one. It was partially-preformed, myself, both healers, one tank, and another dps were all from my FC. The rest were pugs but not idiots. After the first wipe where we spent the time going "what the hell are we doing" we got it together and didn't push fast enough the second time, but then nailed him on round three. This after unknowingly gimping ourselves by having me and my fellow DRG--of which we were the premier DPS of the group because of our ilevels--spend the fight on cannons. But we were magnificent cannoneers, let me tell you now. I still wish I got to do cannons all the time whenever we do Steps now, but I'll settle for stabbing the shit out of the dragon and then pushing the Big Buttons.

Nah, I'm just messing around.

I'm pretty sure I'm the only person who catches the joke/coincidence shown in this image.
