				Welcome to the OOC Thread for Bug Hunt! Please keep a close watch on this thread, as it will be used for important game-related news and announcements in addition to player chatter. Also watch this first post, as it will include updates to the game's character list, bug index, NPC files and in-game locations!<br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Character List</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Sanai</div><div class="spoiler_body">Name: Nydia Ellessa<br>Age: 19<br>Sex: Female<br>Orientation: Bisexual<br><br>Appearance: (http://digital-art-gallery.com/oid/9/640x898_3021_Jane_2d_illustration_soldier_girl_sci_fi_picture_image_digital_art.jpg)<br>(Ignore the slightly robotic looking skin, think of it as just normal human skin, with a few cyberneticy bits, sockets, etc here and there.)<br><br>Personality: Outside of danger, Nydia is endlessly curious and philosophical, but somewhat strange. Something about her just seems strange to other people. She is an unusual person, lacking a full understanding of social boundaries and nuances. When in combat, she is cold, efficient and seemingly fearless.<br><br>Bio: Nydia was not born to a normal family, neither did she have a normal upbringing. Nydia was born in a laboratory, with various cybernetic implants and genetic modifications given to her throughout her life, starting when she was an embryo. The aim of the project was simple- to push the boundaries of cybernetics and genetic engineering, to try and create a new generation of enhanced soldier, to replace the huge lack in such research in the time of peace. Nydia never had a real family, the scientists largely uninterested in her feelings or emotional development apart from maintaining psychological stability and stimulating her mind to enable it to think tactically and work as a soldier. She is used to being treated as property, to being tested and modified constantly.<br><br>Weapons/Equipment: <br><em>LC-19 Advanced Combat Rifle</em> (as Pictured above)<br><em>Adaptive Combat Armour</em> Lightweight armour that plugs in cybernetically into Nydia's body. It provides limited adaptive camoflauge (which can hide her visually, but this might not deceive bugs for long, and only hides her when stationary). It also has a limited ability to self repair, though this process usually takes an entire day to refill your average gouge. The materials to self repair are provided cybernetically from Nydia's own bodies energy an nutrient reserves.<br><em>Dual Pistols</em><br>(http://media.moddb.com/images/games/1/10/9998/Weapon-Pistol.jpg)<br><em>Cybernetics</em>- Most Internal organs are cybernetic or part cybernetic. Also has subdermal armour, enhanced innume system/self repair via nanobots/genetically engineered cells, enhanced optics, etc.<br>Likes/Dislikes: I prefer girls but bugs/guys are okay too :p<br>Limits: Im great with pretty much anything except scat and watersports.<br></div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">rachelongaku</div><div class="spoiler_body">Name: Zia Melody Laurn<br>Age: 21<br>Sex: Female<br>Orientation: Bi-sexual<br><br>(http://i808.photobucket.com/albums/zz6/raeraymusic/9814e26fc5b7dca2f47ca6b947269601.jpg)<br><br>Personality: Zia is a very sweet girl. She cares deeply for others and is very loyal to those whom she trusts. She believes herself to have great morals and will point out when someone else does something that she considers highly immoral. Zia is a complete romantic and is very flirtatious.<br><br>Bio: Zia was born into a rather well-off family. She was never meant to fight, or do anything of the sort. She was well-educated from a young age learning from her grandparents, and parents. All of whom were alive and well even today. All six of them were highly educated themselves, having nine PhDs in total. Zia spent the most of her&nbsp; time learning from her grandmother, who was a doctor back in the day. One day, just out of the blue, Zia decided that she didn't want to just stay at home and be a book worm. So she decided to put the medical skills she'd learned from her grandmother to use. Zia began working at a hospital when she was seventeen years old and gained much pretige for her medical knowledge. She is working some place other than the hospital for the first time now. Zia just obtained the position as a medic at a NestBreaker agency. She's terrified of dying and is honestly horrible at combat. She carries a stun gun as a last resort, depending on other members of her group to protect her. The only advantage Zia has out there other than her medical skills is her fast running.<br><br>Weapons/Equipment: Medical Equipment and a small stun gun.<br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://www.safetyprotectiontechnology.com/files/2096173/uploaded/ZAPBK950.jpg)</div></div><br>My Character's Likes: Both Boys and Girls, Romance<br>My Character's Dislikes: NC<br>Limits: http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=127144.msg5609480 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=127144.msg5609480)<br></div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">TKtheExiled</div><div class="spoiler_body">Name: Kyle Seine <br>Age: 27<br>Sex: Male<br>Orientation: Heterosexual<br><br>Appearance: <br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header"> Urban Ghillie</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://blog.nstoyanov.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/sniper2.JPG)<br></div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header"> Out of Ghillie</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://digital-art-gallery.com/oid/20/640x1220_5268_InFAMOUS2_Cole_concepts_2d_character_male_portrait_picture_image_digital_art.jpg)</div></div><br>Personality: A bit of a perfectionist in some things, and a bit of a slacker in others. When he's in "work mode," he seems to speak and even think in bullet points- ordered, structured, and authoritative. But when he's "casual," he is much more relaxed... and has a slight tendency to ramble and get lost in his own thoughts. <br><br>Bio: He doesn't talk about it much, but Kyle started out military. Not because he's ashamed of it, per se- after all, he still displays his marksman ribbons proudly on his "partner's" straps- but because it just... doesn't fit. A person whose whole purpose is to kill other people doesn't really fit in to the new renaissance well... so he'd just let it fade into the background. He'd kept up with his P.T., and kept his old hand-me-down rifle cleaned and upgraded as best he could... and when the Nestbreakers started popping up, he was glad he did. After all, a soldier doesn't do much good in a world full of civilians... but he's certainly useful when you need to hunt down an enemy like the bugs. <br><br>Weapons/Equipment: A hand-me-down rifle, that has been re-outfitted and upgraded to better suit the needs of a "modern" marksman. <br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header"> The Gun</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f7/WaltherWA2000.jpg/300px-WaltherWA2000.jpg)</div></div>The Gear:<br>==High powered laser sight<br>==4/8/12x variable zoom scope<br>==Improved flash suppressor<br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">The Sidearm</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://www.wired.com/images_blogs/dangerroom/2009/11/800px-five-seven_usg.jpg)</div></div><br>PC Likes: Flirting, banter, body shots.<br>PC Dislikes: Snobby partners, being talked down to. <br>Limits: My only major limits are gratuitous blood &amp; torture. </div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">bubby</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Name:</strong> Kate Shin<br><strong>Age:</strong> 27<br><strong>Sex:</strong> Female<br><strong>Orientation:</strong> Heterosexual<br><br><strong>Appearance:</strong> (http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/f/f7/45124.jpg)<br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> Bitch. Bitch with a gun. Crass and bold. She'll tell you how it is and not care who she offends. She'll drink and cuss right along with the boys, but never mistake it, she's 100% woman. Maybe, just maybe she'll meet a guy willing to get past the wall she's built around her to survive, and find the true woman beneath.<br><br><strong>Bio:</strong> She had been the only daughter in a family with 4 brothers. Modest upbringing, mom and dad owning a little asian restaurant, expecting their children to help with the business. Kate and her brothers however liked much more to hang out on the streets, with friends, and in the small gang they were involved with, pretending to be the likes of the Yakuza. Oh they thought they were soooo tough...then the bugs came. Then the pretend became reality. Her parents died first, then one by one her brothers. During that time Kate became harder, tougher, and by the time she was all alone she was battle hardened and ready to join the Nestbreakers, as long as she got to kill bugs. <br><br><strong>Weapons/Equipment:</strong> Twin Browning Hi-Power pistols that go in a double shoulder holster, and a Firestar 9mm she keeps at the base of her spine. Old school weapons for sure, but she prefers them.

That would be the best to describe Odessa. Although she tends to be kinda shy towards strangers.<br><strong>Bio:</strong> Odessa grew up as a street girl. She saw much shit in her childhood, and even more when she got older. Odessa learned how to survive early. She stole food, picked pockets, and so on. Her life was hard already, but with the bugs appearing, it grew even harder. If it wasn't for her basic instincts, she would never had a chance to survive. She salvaged everything she could lay her hands on, be it ammo, weapons or even some simple stuff like books and perfume. Over time, she became a Strider. One of the few that roamed the deserted cities, always looking out for valuable goods to trade. While most of those who went out to scavange never returned, the Striders were a different kind of breed. Every one of them had some decent gear, body armour, weapons, equipment. Each Strider was a formidable fighter, both in melee and ranged, having learned thier lessons by a trial of fire. But what made them so unique was their ability to survive. And this very special ability was a valuable thing, even to those who thought they lived in a safe place...<br><br>Odessa is one of the Striders. Careing more about survival than anything else, she is still a virgin, who never had any sexual encounters before. Of course, some people she met did approach her on that, but she managed to keep them away from herself, either by leaving their place, or by the muzzle of her gun. She has her dreams and thoughts about a partner, but given her inexperience, she does not really know what she is looking for.<br><br>Weapons/Equipment: Combat Armour (as by the pic above)<br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Kensington Arms H/AR/45</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/5797/33159888.jpg)Her main weapon.

There might be fear in him somewhere, but it has yet to surface. He prefers simple, forward plans, preferably with a lot of metal flung in the direction of the enemy over ones with finesse. Generally, he doesn't talk much, especially not about himself, and when he says something it is usually brief and to the point, which is partially due to his loose grasp of the english language.<br><br><strong>Bio:</strong> What do you get when your parents, along with some other individuals, decide that now, at the verge of Armageddon, it might be best to sell everything they have and entrench themselves in the vast of Siberia, determined to ward off the hordes of the Anti-christ with a veritable truckload of weapons and ammunition ?<br>Right, an effed up childhood.<br>'Course, after some time the leader of this society of 'chosen' ones realized that the hordes took there damn bloody time, but, instead of blowing the whole thing off and revealing his selfproclaimed saviour -status to be hogwash, he proclaimed the dirt they were standing on to be the last refuge of humanity and it to be their duty to withstand the devil's temptations of these postapocalyptic times. For they be sinners not raptured, but they will stem against the floods in.. bla bla bla. Read: Reject all conveniences and live like a savage, 'cept for the guns.<br><br>Enter, Pjotr. One of twelve children coming along on the mad ride. It would have been nice if,at least here, a line was drawn. Alas no. Heavily indoctrinated and taught how to assemble and disassemble, to maintain and rightly use a variety of arms, among other things deemed fitting for a stand-off between good and evil, his psyche was damaged enough to still show, now, about ten years after the commune fell apart. Then again, having an abnormal amount of confidence has its merits, say, when confronted with superior numbers of invertebrates.<br><br>While circumstances why it collapsed are not quite clear, Pjotr was one of the few who survived its probably gruesome end. He just showed up one day, being eighteen years of age at the time and looking rather scruffy, on the doorsteps of a forwarding agency in the outskirts of Magadan. The owner was so kind as to give him a home and a job as one of his drivers. For a few years, while Pjotr slowly adapted to this world that was rather alien to him, he got by. <br>Then the bugs appeared. The lessons forced into his head all but forgotten, he saw this as a sign that finally, he could fulfill his destiny. He used the money he had saved up to buy passage on a ship to California, and after a few months of straying around, wound up in Neo-Atlanta.<br>Because of his inclination toward keeping a cool head but his lack of leadership qualities, he acquired a position as a driver for NestBreakers. His task usually consists of hauling the most recently acquired mercenaries to their designated target, defending the vehicle against those pesky mutant bugs and, if the operation is a success, to bring most of the mercenaries back to HQ.<br><br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Weapons/Equipment: </strong></span><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Main weapon: Mk 48 Mod 1 Machine gun</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/68/Mk_48_PEO_Soldier.jpg/800px-Mk_48_PEO_Soldier.jpg)<br>Hey, it's no <em>Pecheneg</em> but NATO standard ammunition is easier to come by... hang on, the Geneva conventions do not apply to bugs, right?

These metabugs usually grow from about two to four feet in length, have powerful jaws capable of crushing concrete, and wings that can carry them long distances at speeds up to 70mph. The glowing bulb on their backside provides their nests with expansive illumination, but it's not just for decoration. Unique biochemical reactions within the bulbs allow Lightning Bugs to discharge small but powerful bolts of electricity, which they use to stun their prey into submission. Typically these creatures&nbsp; display intelligence on par with chimps, and have been seen utilizing simple tools.<br><br>Going Rate: 35 Creds<br><br>Ditch Ripper<br>(http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/ccmmii/ankheg.jpg)<br><br>At upwards of twelve to fifteen feet in length, these heavily armored bugs are veritable tanks, and they can do about as much damage. Ditch Rippers travel by burrowing through loose, alluvial soil, and explode upward from beneath the surface to attack by slamming themselves against their targets whenever their keen hearing detects possible prey. Their legs are not very powerful, but are extremely quick and dexterous and thus surprisingly useful for manipulating objects within their environment; many BugBuster units have reported encountering specimens capable of recognizing various firearms and attempting to remove them from their agents' possession. Ditch Rippers use their sensitive antennae and long tongues to feel and taste their prey, while their massive pincers render their victims immobile.<br><br>Going Rate: 250 Creds<br><br>Reaper Mantis<br>(http://gamebot.info/images/articles/lineagemonster/monster_img07.jpg)<br><br>Reaper Mantids are metabug shock troops, fierce, voracious bugs with sharp, powerful forelimbs that can smash or slice clean through solid stone. Considerably intelligent, Mantids often hunt in packs and have demonstrated complex tactics in running down prey. In spite of (or perhaps because of) their nine to twelve foot height, Reapers have great speed, and their long, strong legs can eat up distance over virtually any kind of terrain. Small bristles on their hind legs produce a powerful paralytic agent that causes first mild dizziness, then drowsiness, and eventually full immobilization, the state of which can last up to eighteen hours. According to many filed BugBuster reports, one side effect of this venom is deep, insatiable physical arousal.<br><br>Going Rate: 175 Creds<br><br>Hatchback<br>(http://www.oddee.com/_media/imgs/articles/a421_waterbug.jpg)<br><br>Hatchbacks are small, insidious little bastards that are far more dangerous than their one to two foot length might suggest. While these bugs may pose little threat on their own, the small nurseries on their backs are a far bigger problem. Hatchbacks are hermaphroditic, capable of both laying and fertilizing their own eggs without partners. During the laying cycle, fertilized eggs are produced continuously from pores on the bug's back. When the eggs hatch, the larvae swarm over everything in sight in a mindless hunger frenzy. Like almost all of life's problems, the best solution is the extremely liberal application of fire.<br><br>Going Rate: 50-300 Creds (Dependent on hatching time)<br><br>Mitey-mites<br>(http://images.wikia.com/godzilla/images/b/bb/Mutant_Termite.jpg)<br><br>Mites are industrious, territorial, highly social bugs that come in a variety of sizes; the smallest specimens on recorded have been reported at a little less than eight inches, while the largest have approached six feet. Usually, any mites over two feet are sterile, capable of laying eggs but not fertilizing them. Their numbers are propagated through methods similar to their more mundane cousins, but it is unclear what mechanism (if any) dictates specimen size. Mites make impressive construction crews, and are capable of remarkable feats Yof architecture; many NestBreaker teams have returned from the field with photos and footage of expansive, intricately designed nests that rival even some human-built dwellings. Well, before they're leveled during extermination clean-up, anyway.<br><br>Going Rate: 15-150 Creds<br></div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Locations</div><div class="spoiler_body">Specimen Lab<br>(http://robin-chyo.com/art/temp/post/lab_crop%20copy.jpg)<br><br>Med Bay<br>(http://cghub.com/files/Image/164001-165000/164296/077_realsize.jpg)<br><br>Armory / Garage<br>(http://www.visitahc.org/files/images/Armory-Interior-NoRoof.jpg)<br><br>Briefing Room<br>(http://www.exhibitoronline.com/exhibitormagazine/images/dec09/largeviews/port4.jpg)<br><br>Potts Point Village<br>(http://www.johnbrito.net/Portals/0/images/pics/post_apocalypse_concept_design_town.jpg)<br><br>Desolation Zone/Metabug Nest<br>(http://creationsafaris.com/photos/UT01-174-CoyoteButtes.jpg)<br></div></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">NPCs</div><div class="spoiler_body">Director Norman Petticox<br>(http://www.wearysloth.com/Gallery/ActorsB/1276-3268.jpg)<br><br>Sheila<br>(http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_R5WS6_kmmTI/SLXdlbE_10I/AAAAAAAAIDw/MPdqxyn4ysI/s400/tina-fey1.jpg)<br><br>Percival C.

I hope to post by Thursday, I'm currently battling a cold and I got stuff to do before work tomorrow night. But maybe, as i'm quite excited for this game, my muse will muddle through my sickness and I can at least get a basic intro tomorrow.

				Also, just a reminder for everyone: this is intended to be a slower-paced game. I know some members, myself included, cannot make multiple posts every day, so it will be greatly appreciated if we can all remember to keep the brakes on so as not to outpace each other. I know the first few days of a game are usually the most exciting, but I really think if we can all remain patient and proceed together, we'll have a much more enjoyable and longer-running game. Thanks, everyone!

				Woot! I have a couple hours for internet on mah computer; let's get some stuff done! (By which I mean mostly me, your humble and sadly over-isolated GM&nbsp; ::) )<br><br>@Shiny: Here's what I came up with. Pjotr will be handling transport for the team to the mission site, and the Marauder will be fine for that because...well, let's just say you'll need everything you can get just to make it through the DZ and arrive at the nest. Once you all arrive, I'll have a truck similar to the one TK mentioned prepped by NPC agents waiting on standby to take the bugs back. Basically, this mission will involve you going into the nest, collecting the specimens, and getting out alive and (un)molested.&nbsp; &gt;:) What happens afterward will be handled by NPCs, because you're going to be getting your next assignment almost immediately after Mission 1 is completed.<br><br>UPDATE: It has now become painfully clear to me that I am officially too incompetent to figure out how to make nifty badges for this game. Ergo, if anyone is interested in taking on such a project or has a friend who can be plied into doing so with cookies and whiskey, please let me know! <br><br>(♪ There may even be a reward involved ♪...)

I bet there is; its probably German. Anyway, something that captures and distills all of that into a singular, eye-catching image, something that will attract new players to our ranks, something that soon-to-be veterans of the Metabug Battles can slap on their sigs and proudly proclaim, 'Yeah, I was there, and I slaughtered me some bugs!'.

				A'ight, peepz. There's still some stuff to be done on my end, a few more pics to hunt down, maybe a lil more prettyin up to do, but for the most part, Mission 1 is ready to begin. I'm going to hold off starting, though, till Saturday night, to give Rachel and Sanai a bit more time and for everyone to finish up at HQ. If that's not enough time, let me know and we'll push back to Sunday. Otherwise, THUNDERCATS ARE GO! (That was the catchphrase, right? Or wait...was that the Thunderbirds? Damn you, 80s pop culture and your confusing meteorologically explosive anthropomorphized felines and avian-themed jet pilot heroes! You've foiled me yet again!)

				Sorry for the lull in the pace, guys; yesterday was just kinda rotten...like a cherry-creme chocolate with a fat roach inside. But today feels like a spicy enchilada wrapped around a lottery ticket! I'll try to get McCleary's post up escorting the team to the nest this evening.

				And now -- time for OOC briefing!<br>Shiny, you and whoever is running the mounted gun on the Marauder can confer between yourselves any surprises we may run into on the way to the nest and how we deal with them. As for 'who takes point' upon reaching the nest, that will be McCleary to start. The weapons Chester was talking about are basically high-powered rifles modified to fire grappling bolts which can be attached to high-test steel cables hooked onto a winch on the transport truck. Bagging the bugs will be sort of like going fishing: we drag lengths of cable inside the nest with us, kill or subdue the bugs we need, hit them with the bolts, and attach the cables to let Chester drag them back out and lock them up. Any questions?

				So, will the entire crew be going in to snag the bugs, or will someone(s) need to stay with the vehicle to man the gun, I'm assuming taking out anything that tries to converge upon their position during the mission?

				Le sigh, peepz. I am deeply ashamed of how I have allowed this poor baby to languish without attention for so long. A couple of you may have gleamed from a few of my other posts some inkling of what has kept me from tending to my responsibilities as GM these last few weeks; to the rest of you, I can only say I'm sorry. Whether any or all of you have been inconvenienced or frustrated by my lack of direction and inability to propel this game forward, or whether you've already moved on and not given BH! another thought, and despite what may be appearances to the contrary, I do take GMing seriously, and I must apologize for building up hype and anticipation for something I've thus far proven unable to deliver.<br><br>Y'know. My bad.<br><br>It's been suggested that if I'm no longer feeling the story as much as I initially was, it would be wiser to table the game for a later date. After much consideration, I believe the best thing to do is put this game on hiatus, for now at least. Once I get some of my RL messes further sorted, I'll be happy to attempt running this thing again, but at present I believe continuing as BH!'s GM would only be a disservice to an excellent crew of writers. If anyone would be interested in assuming the GM role, I'll be happy to send my materials and story notes to serve as jumping off points. I look forward to writing with each of you again soon.<br><br>~Starlequin
