Fish I am having a struggle to figure out what group to be in.

You're in the Stronghammer Company of the Mercenary Guild.

As for making your character...

First, decide what she does combat wise. Start with what type of fighter she is - have you decided to make her a mage, a rogue, or a warrior? Then think about what sort of life must have lived in order to have learned that skillset. Now consider why she might have left that life behind to join a mercenary company.

Once you've got her fighting style and backstory figured out, give her a name and an appearance, and you're pretty much done. Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.

I was thinking they would be a regular swordfighter most of the time, and they would pool their potion-making resources into the more expensive magical effect granting ones, so when a particularly difficult skirmish comes up, they can apply a fire effect or whatever to their sword that lasts around 30 seconds or something. They would only have a few of these for the duration of the RP, unless they somehow come across the ingredients to make more, and that would probably take several hours' worth of preparation as well, not to mention it depends on how good a mood the thread-master is in ;)

If that were the case, what number seems about right? I was thinking around 3?

Well, no, I mean chemical attacks, vehicles, multiple opponents with conventional firearms, explosives, and basically any kind of damage are typically things that most characters are vulnerable to.

... and if you seem strong, wouldn't it stand to reason people might be more likely to actually employ these tactics against you?
Yes, and most were: against Rodisus, Gary and Kestyr, Cerberus have employed Assault Troopers, Centurions, and about a dozen or so Atlas mechs against Rodisus and Kestyr. There are also sentry turrets. I will be employing other types of Warriors against the users as the thread progresses, but I want the difficulty to be gradually harder.


Annie already has many disadvantages, irregardless of her additional abilities. For example, she has no armour, is dependant on her lightsaber, and is probably too weak to effectively hold a gun larger than a pistol. After all, she didn't jump in a star fighter for the first time, and then blew up an entire battleship on her first go. But, as we role-play, I do try to keep in mind the franchises and how they are shown, and try to implement them. So, I want the Star Wars character to actually feel like they're part of a Star Wars film or game, and the Warhammer characters to actually feel like they're part of a Warhammer game, the Halo characters to actually feel like they're part of a Halo game, Cerberus actually feeling like Cerberus from Mass Effect, the Combine to actually feel like they're from Half-Life 2, and so on. Hopefully, I'm doing at least an OK job with it, I try to spend time for everyone in whatever they want to do, but sometimes, the length of my posts per character are imbalanced.

Hey azi, i was just thinking that we should have A mad scientist that captures who are Force sensitive people and one tests on them.

i.e. captures Annie just like you want in every other thread. Done in by the dubious doings of destiny.
