"Suppose we should go towards the city, eh?" Jet says. "Sure, only way is forward from here..." Klish replies as they set off into the city and head towards the base. A few minutes into their walk, Jet's UNADA buzzes, informing him that his listed Plasma Torch Sword just sold for a whopping 550 UC, a pretty penny for a modified industrial tool. Soon, he and Klish find themselves outside of the massive ISC outpost. Night has fallen and luminous spotlights mounted on top of the looming basalt walls illuminate the ground for a mile in front of the base. Jet and Klish move up the central path towards a pair of hulking gates flanked by two huge guard towers. The towers are armed to the teeth with defensive weaponry ranging from 30mm autocannons to anti-material lasers to plasma casters. "Geez, you'd have to be insane to attack a place like this from the ground. I bet those two towers could wipe out an entire battalion without even denting their ammo storage." The two walk up to the gates and a voice over an intercom states, "Halt. State your purpose." ============================================= Appearance: 6'1", short-cut dark blue hair, brown eyes, medium build. ===Weapons=== Primary Weapon: K12 "Ripper" Carbine [30|140] // Underslung Shotgun [1|10] ---A state of the art carbine, designed to fire normal, armor-piercing, or hollowpoint rounds as the situation demands.

Amazigh | Aicaya (Roll: 7)
"Hey, would you guys happen to sell ammo for my weapons? This cannon uses 70mm shells and the pile bunker is powered by these microfusion cells," Aicaya says as she holds one out for inspection. "Oh, yes, we have some 70mm high-explosive shells, and that microfusion cell looks like the same kind used by most man-portable combat lasers.

The light-amplification, thermal, x-ray, and zoom vision modes work as expected. "They appear to be fully functional, thank you." "Excellent, glad to hear that you're satisfied. We've deducted the full cost from your account.

alphagamer774 | Michael "Mike" Rocksford (Roll: 4)
"I wanna attach some blades and spikes to my rifle," Mike says, pulling out the Pulsar. "Whoa kid, that looks like one of those fancy etherweapons. You wanna be careful tinkering with those- sometimes they're designed in a way that any modification can mess up their functionality. You need to take that to an expert. Anything else I can help you with?" ============================================= Appearance: 5'9" ===Weapons=== Primary Weapon:Pulsar ---A marksman electrolaser etherweapon operating on the principle of using a laser to ionize air molecules and create a plasma channel to transfer a massive jolt of electricity.

Secondary Weapon: I-2 Custom [20|10] ---An older variant of the current standard issue ISC sidearm, it fires the same low velocity ammunition of the new handguns. Fitted with a lighter polymer slide and a shaved down grip, it sacrifices balance and accuracy to make it one of the lightest weapons produced. Secondary Weapon: Utataku Experimental Recoilless Automatic Pistol (UXRAP) [20|50] ---A .45 caliber pistol using an experimental design, coupling a shock-absorbing frame, enlarged muzzle brake, ported barrel, and heavy grip to dramatically reduce recoil, leading to high accuracy even when using fully automatic fire.

TheKebbit | Jotun (Roll: 4)
"YOU WANT SOMETHING DONE RIGHT, YOU GOTTA DO IT YOURSELF." Welding a short-use Faraday cage for some of his more valuable components, Jotun sets off towards the top floor with his MVOP out and ready.

Uses randomized and synthesized voices for verbal communication. ===Weapons=== Primary Weapon: Mass Vector Ordinance Projector (MVOP) [3|12] ---A high-accuracy handheld cannon which fires 80mm iron slugs embedded with depleted uranium.

Tertiary Weapon: "Fang" Blade ---A 13-inch long combat knife, the Fang is made of highly reinforced self-sharpening titanium carbide and is practically unbreakable.

caekdaemon | Bob Jones (Roll: 6)
With his ship cruising on autopilot, Bob looks up prices for bigger, better ships on his UNADA. "I should probably get one with a warp drive next, speed can be important for certain deliveries and it allows me to make more deliveries overall. Seems like proper freighters capable of warping start at around 15,000 UC. A standard transport vessel capable of warping is about 10,000 UC. Not exactly cheap." ============================================= Appearance:Carson Beckett. ===Weapons=== Primary Weapon:Terracon Industries - SMG - 165b [60|180] Secondary Weapon:Terracon Industries - PL - 24A [7|35] Tertiary Weapon: Combat Knife ---Standard titanium combat knife with an 8-inch blade. ===Inventory=== Personal -1,900 Universal Credits -UNADA PDA Property -Old Single-Seater Freighter ---Fuel [100% of max capacity] ===Ether=== Passive Abilities -Anatomy (+1 to targeting specific points on humans) -Medical Shield (+1 to evasion when giving medical assistance) -Medic (+1 to medical assistance) Techniques -Healing Touch ---Life, Single: Heal another person at the cost of ether; extended healing will cause tiredness.

Game Events ~Somewhere within the Ethersphere~ "Absalom was way stronger than I thought he'd be. I had to plow through that corrupted seraph he left in my path, so I was already a little weakened by the time I got to him. Sorry." The Agent is standing in a large chamber and speaking to an array of figures seated before him. The geometrically impossible architecture of the room makes it look more like an eldritch Escher drawing than anything conceivable by a human mind. "It's not your fault," one of the figures says. Like the Agent, the speaker has a very humanoid appearance, resembling a tall man with long auburn hair and strikingly scarlet eyes, with black slits for pupils. He is clothed in a glowing white robe. "Our intelligence was obviously insufficient- there's no way Absalom could have turned that seraph, and I doubt it was working with him of its own accord. Something's against us, here. We still haven't had any luck tracking Absalom down; somehow, none of his teleportations have left a traceable amount of ethereal residue. It is as if he is generating ether instead of drawing it from the ethersphere..."
"If that's true, I don't think I need to tell anyone here what kind of a danger that poses," a second figure says. The speaker appears to be more like a condensed mass of dark smoke than any sort of identifiable shape, purple-blue in color with two glowing yellow "eyes" near the top of its mass, and speaks with a rather feminine voice. "An inexperienced and small-scale fighter like Absalom wouldn't be able to use such a thing to its full potential. In the hands of an experienced fighter like, heaven forbid, Sin... we wouldn't fare well, to say the least."
"Stopping Absalom and finding out what he's done is our top concern, then." The third speaker is humanoid but muscular and huge, with a green-scaled hide and the intimidating face of some primordial beast. "Generating ether... it's a direct violation of the conservation of energy! There's no way something like that could be pulled off without having a negative effect somewhere."
"I'll get back to the search effort, then."
"No, hang on, Agent." The last speaker stands up and moves forward- a man of about six feet with dark hair and eyes. His face appears young, yet it is clear that time has made its mark on it. "I'll go. Something big's happening, and we have to eliminate this threat as soon as possible. You still haven't even fully recovered from your last fight- stay here and rest up."
"You're one to talk. You were pretty roughed up a week ago after your fight with that Wrath bastard."
"True, but I'm still stronger than any single individual here. We can't all go, so..." The eyes of the second figure narrow at the man before closing in resignation.
"Fine. Don't get yourself killed in one of your acts of silly valiance, though. If this is half as serious as we fear, there's plenty of fighting ahead." The man smiles in response.
"I'm touched by your concern, but don't worry..." With a burst of light, the man is enveloped in a golden aura that covers his entire body, obscuring his face and radiating a glowing energy. A pair of large glowing wings materialize, attached to his shoulder blades. He flicks his wrist and his hand closes around the hilt of a summoned greatsword, its gold-and-silver blade glinting as the man slashes the air with it and creates a portal.
"I'm not going to hold back."
