I feel like the Callsign of mop is becoming more apt the less I mess with trying to make her afford her stuff on her own.
Mop in the "soggy dirty and sad" way, and the "does dirty work for others"

yknow this might be the one incarnation of Ember where she actually goes by her legal name of Madeline more often

Daniel is. Not fond of Scavs
like, less fond of them than everyone else
he's seen what they do to people. they've been on his operating table. those that survived them wished they didn't.
glass violet
Ember probably saw friends and such taken by them growing up, since she basically grew up on the street in a combat zone

RK has seen scavs and is genuinely terrified of them
being like
a walking piece of valuable cyberware means he hides the second he catches wind of them

people without limbs. people cut open, still coughing up blood and tissue. XBD 'actors'.
cerulean copper
RK has probably almost been taken by scavs a few times
paper yacht
there's been some fucked up shit dropped in front of them, and many times he's just had to tell the person who brought them 'there's nothing I can do'
glass violet

yeah maybe mop might hafta keep that she's working with fuckin scavs a secret
i don't think anyone in the party would be happy to learn that

i mean. if he received a full explanation, he would understand
he wouldnt be happy, he'd be like 'we have to get you away from them NOW'

Thinking about how Ember's stay at the Zoo was probably the best month of her life

The rest is randomly generated.

Also tbh it's probably better than uh... RK's situation. His ex tore his remaining arm off
paper yacht
yeah probably
I mainly made Daniel's ex that bc i didnt want to go with the femboy stereotype of 'wholesome uwu softboy' as well as the stereotype of feminine dudes being all hypersexual
he's a stereotype in appearance not personality

She was Zigmund's "Secretary"

She was not good at doing any secretarial work btw.

Well she was also a bodyguard!
But yeah she got her pay severely cut when she was forced to get the FBC due to a terminal disease.
For reasons.

so for martial arts, how do the combos work
like, how do you hit someone with a brawling attack and a martial arts attack in one turn
or a melee attack and a martial arts attack to trigger the special moves?
worldly light
like, how do you hit someone with a brawling attack and a martial arts attack in...
Oh oh!
So!
Brawling and Martial arts are both 2 ROF
When you have a weapon with 2 ROF.
You can make one attack.
glass violet
ohhhhh oki so u can mix and match stuff that's got the same RoF, if ur technically able to wield both at the same time
worldly light
And then follow up with a different one that also has 2 ROF
Yeah!
Same with guns that have 3.
You can also use one gun that has 3 ROF, and one that has 2, but you don't get to make a third one.
glass violet
okie, so yah, aikido might be good for her since she has brawl and martial arts
or judo, for grapple breaking
worldly light
Throwing a throwing weapon counts as "half" a 2 ROF
So you cannot throw it again cause you just did.
But you can follow up with something else that also has 2ROF
glass violet
cuz without 8 will, taekwondo and karate are a lil less useful
worldly light
Ope.
worldly light
Throwing a *throwing weapon* counts as "half" a 2 ROF
Actually only the throwing stars and the smart boomerang are that
The Throwing hatchets are 1ROF
glass violet
actually making her a grappler could be neat, just agile grabbing and smacking em into walls and knees and shit
paper yacht
cant you also choose to just shoot the same gun twice if it has 2ROF?
worldly light
Yes you can.
glass violet
ya
paper yacht
not just fire off with another 2ROF gun?
glass violet
mmhm, so yeah heavy pistols get 2 3d6 damage shots
glass violet
which
like, why would you want a superheavy pistol then?
worldly light
Armour exists.
glass violet
yea tru
worldly light
Bigger punch, gets ablated by armour only once
Heavy pistol has 2x 3d6 but it gets lowered by armour both times
glass violet
fair enough
and more dice per shot means more chance of crits
cuz crit injuries are caused by having 2 or more 6's on damage rolls
paper yacht
yeah and also with two attacks, you ablate armor twice
meaning you damage it twice
so your buddies do more damage on subsequent attacks :3
glass violet
only if ur 3d6 is enough to break throuhg armor twice
paper yacht
ye, thats what i mean
glass violet
which is why martial arts are nutty, they ignore half their armor
so it's super easy to fuck up armor with it
worldly light
y'know mid int Tech is a uh... Choice
Not really.
You don't havta be smart, you just gotta know the tech.

I feel like seeing Mop from a distance she has Lich (lancer) vibes
Fucked up looking machine in rags

cerulean copper
ngl I feel like most people avoid Set
because he looks like a total crackhead to just about everyone
creature with a gang jazzler dragging a Reaper off for "testing purposes"
(that Reaper is not going to have a good time being tied up in his workshop)
I couuuld also have him be mob affiliated
totally deranged fishman working for the mob and making them weapons that have a 50/50 chance of not doing what they're supposed to do
worldly light
The one benefit Mop has over most people is that because she works with Reapers she does not give a damn if her "coworkers" die.
"oh noo... Anyways"
Starts stripping the guy of gear
cerulean copper
also yeah I didn't give him any weapons he'll just grab some poor shmuck and strangle them into dreamland
"Right behind you!" is the last thing they hear before this absolute creature of a man kidnaps them
cerulean copper
also the fact he's a largely unenhanced rando with a Brawl of 6 and Dex of 8 is hilarious to me
worldly light
Mm... Mop takes her nice jacket off before every fight.
paper yacht
(that Reaper is not going to have a good time being tied up in his workshop)
so he's a scav but not an actual member of the scavs?
cerulean copper
he won't steal their cybernetics
he will however test a new weapon on them since nobody's gonna care if the local scav population starts dwindling down
worldly light
! Idiota!
cerulean copper
honestly given how widespread they are though (and the fact other gangers exist) it's not like he isn't gonna get some field testing anyways
ngl Set without anyone limiting him is just a completely psychotic crackhead with no crack required
honestly the cybernetics aren't helping him either

Convince fans to do stuff for you.

might just have her be good at singing instead
worldly light
Starts off with stuff like "gimme free drugs or small favours"
paper yacht
at high level rockerboy you are basically a cult leader
worldly light
Ends with stuff like starting riots.
Yeah max level rockerboy can convince a single person to die for them.
cerulean copper
ngl RK has probably tried self medicating in the past and has only managed to kick every addiction he's gotten by virtue of being way too poor for even over the counter meds

But low level it is mostly "Ey, fetch me a beer, boy!"
