				Ok, here is where the new OOC chatter for the Revamp thread will take place. In this section you will find info on the Alien invaders as well as general chatter/questions.<br><br>First up for the Alien Horde is *drumroll pleease*<br><br>The Grumbler: <br><br>(http://i689.photobucket.com/albums/vv251/nightsketcher1/Final%20Fantasy/urdnot_grunt_by_altiuso83-d2nha29.jpg) (http://i689.photobucket.com/albums/vv251/nightsketcher1/Final%20Fantasy/ME__aliens_by_Spiritius-1.jpg)<br><br>(imagine the head on the body with a reactor of some type coming out of the stomach and you have it) <br>The basic grunt infantry, they look like scrawny human-sized bipedal monkeys. Cyborg implants and metal tubes all over their bodies, some leading from an power generator grown together with their stomach to an energy blaster fused into one arm. If it's ruptured, the reactor overloads and explodes, disgusting but harmless to anyone who's not hugging it at the time. They're cheap, disposable, and really stupid. The name comes from the noises that their stomach/reactor makes, since it's constantly hungry.<br>(If anyone is a Halo fan, they're kind of like the Grunts on there)<br><br>Bruisers: <br><br>(http://i689.photobucket.com/albums/vv251/nightsketcher1/Final%20Fantasy/Brute_sketch_by_eWKn-1.jpg)<br><br>The next step up, Bruisers are big and powerful, though only a little bit smarter than Grumblers. They're taller, like hairless gorillas with armor, and instead of having a built-in generator, they 'wear' what's basically an armless, legless, eyeless Grumbler surgically sewn onto their back. Their hands are detachable prosthetics, so a Bruiser can have blasters, electroclaws, energy whips, or power hammers attached to the stumps of its wrists. They tend to be squad commanders, directing groups of Grumblers in ground combat. <br><br>Raider:<br><br>(http://i689.photobucket.com/albums/vv251/nightsketcher1/Final%20Fantasy/Lizard_Man_by_sansyu-Copy-1.jpg) (http://i689.photobucket.com/albums/vv251/nightsketcher1/Final%20Fantasy/REPTILE_MECH_by_dasAdam-1.jpg)<br><br><br>Raiders stand at 6 feet tall to 8 feet tall, their scales come in multiple colors and markings, making identification to a particular clan easy. They fight like the Fuedal Samurai of old, and many of their traits and actions reflect the Samurai as well. They carry three weapons on them at all times. A gunblade, a pistol and a serrated shield with which they use to both block incoming fire and to bash and cut down opponents. They travel in groups, usually in the number of 2 or 3 and are often used for raids because of their skill in combat. They are weaker physically than Bruisers but, their agility and speed make up for this weakness. They are intelligent, methodical and not to be underestimated. Their armor style depends on their physique, though most of them go for lighter armors, thus allowing more movement, some of the taller ones go for the heavier armors, these are often times used as demolitionists, guards and crowd controllers.<br><br>Their gunblade closed looks like a thicker version of the human longblade, a cunning ability of the weapon is that it hides the muzzle of the gun within the blade. To fire the weapon the blades must seperate as shown below.<br><br>(http://i689.photobucket.com/albums/vv251/nightsketcher1/Final%20Fantasy/QualtaBladeandPulsePistols-1.jpg) (http://i689.photobucket.com/albums/vv251/nightsketcher1/Final%20Fantasy/QualtaBlade-1.jpg)<br><br>Stalker:<br><br>(http://i689.photobucket.com/albums/vv251/nightsketcher1/Final%20Fantasy/Alien_Soldier_sketch_by_steve_burg-d2xtp4f-Copy-1.jpg)<br><br>Elite alien warriors, armed with energy beam sniper rifles and explosive minigrenades. They have armor with a built-in stealth field to hide them from normal senses, and a short-range personal teleporter for escaping from dangerous situations.<br><br>Demolisher:<br><br>(http://i689.photobucket.com/albums/vv251/nightsketcher1/Final%20Fantasy/Hunter.jpg)<br><br>The shock troops of the alien army. Ten feet tall, with spiked armor plates surgically grafted into their skin and armor-reinforced bones. No ranged weapons, only two massive clawed fists, but the ability to vomit a spray of super-corrosive acid onto things at close range. Cybernetic speed augments let them charge forward really fast, but only in a straight line - their armored shell makes it so they can't see to their sides or behind them, and they turn slowly, so a coordinated group could keep one distracted while everyone else beats on it from behind. Unfortunately, they hunt in packs.<br><br>Specter:<br><br>(http://i689.photobucket.com/albums/vv251/nightsketcher1/Final%20Fantasy/Maralyn_Combat_Armor_by_ZaetaK-Copy.jpg)<br><br>These are the Special Operations soldiers of the armada, they use agility, speed and stealth to complete their missions rather than numbers and brute strength. They typically wear light armor that refracts light to render them invisible, the only weakness to this is that they can be spotted easily with infrored technology. Though usually this is not a problem because of the speed at which they have been known to infilitrate their enemies ranks or bases. They are by far the hardiest of the soldiers, able to go without food or any kind of liquid sustenance for sometimes months at a time because of the ability to store such sustenance in an extra pouch along their stomach wall. They most commonly use computer viruses to sow confusion, before starting the actual attack with conventional weapons such as blasters or swords.<br><br>(If your a Gamer like me, think of the Space Pirates from the Metroid series with all the ruthlessness and cunning but, with superior tech and stealth skills.)<br><br>Bull Dozer:<br><br>(http://i689.photobucket.com/albums/vv251/nightsketcher1/Final%20Fantasy/LA_Armour_Profiles__Magician_by_Gideon020-Copy.jpg)<br><br>These guys are basically Demolishers that have been compacted in size for the sole purpose of knocking buildings down, to either make way for their army or to kill as many Human or Mutants as possible. They're heavily armored and their speeds are greater than those of their brethren. They are able to turn with their bull rush but, they need a wide area to do so because of the momentum that they build up. Due to their power, these do not travel in packs but, are sent with a scouting party in two's.<br><br>will add more later, getting tired...

				Two villainous Overlords for your perusal and judgment:<br><br><div class="floatright">(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v296/rcburner/BehemothAlien.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong> [<em>Indecipherable</em>] <br><strong>Title:</strong> The Swarmlord<br><strong>Gender:</strong> Indeterminate; Male Pronouns<br><strong>Age:</strong> Centuries<br><strong>Size Category:</strong> Huge [Twice the size of a Tank]<br><strong>Affiliation:</strong> Alien Horde<br><strong>Rank:</strong> Warlord<br><strong>Abilities:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li><em>Parasitic Host:</em>&nbsp; The Swarmlord's massive frame is a veritable ecosystem unto itself, fostering the growth of thousands of diminutive parasitic organisms. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v296/rcburner/LittleParasites.jpg)&nbsp; These parasites are capable of leaving his body for short periods of time, flowing and squirming out of open pores in perfectly coordinated waves of flickering bioluminescence.&nbsp; Though lacking wings, they are capable of sustained flight thanks to gas-filled bladders that allow them to propel themselves silently through the air.&nbsp; Each individual parasite is no larger than a human index finger, but in such large numbers they are a formidable force unto themselves.<br><br>Parasites attack by attempting to burrow into their victim's flesh, infecting them with alien toxins that induce temporary paralysis.&nbsp; Prolonged exposure to this toxin will cause severe genetic mutations to manifest, especially if the parasite is allowed to inhabit its new host for extended periods of time.&nbsp; The vermin will generally seek to situate itself near vulnerable areas and vital organs to make extraction more difficult.&nbsp; On the unfortunate chance that a parasite is given access to a human beings brain stem, it will seek to control the host manually. </li><li><em>Blindsense:</em>&nbsp; Lacking eyes, this titanic abomination sees the world in a very different way.&nbsp; Extreme sensitivity to vibrations allow him to navigate in just about any environment, and specialized organs allow it to pinpoint the location of energy signatures.&nbsp; This makes hiding from the Swarmlord--and his parasitic horde--a difficult feat.&nbsp; It may also be a weakness waiting to be exploited by a sufficiently clever opponent...</li><li><em>Tainted Chemicals:</em>&nbsp; &nbsp;With blood more potent than any poisonous cocktail devised by man, the Swarmlord possesses the ability to infect others with a wide range of debilitating effects.&nbsp; Upon breaking the skin with one of his three crimson tendrils and injecting a small dose of contaminants, he is able to control and alter the symptoms that the victim suffers through psionic means.&nbsp; From complex nerve toxins to flesh-eating viruses, this dangerous foe is a walking biohazard.</li><li><em>Genetic Mastery:</em>&nbsp; The Swarmlord possesses complete control over his own body, allowing him to temporarily induce rapid but limited mutations in his own physical makeup.&nbsp; This can be anything from developing an extraneous epidermal layer to provide enhanced protection against various attacks, to enhancing his overall muscle mass or bone density.&nbsp; This strange power allows him to adapt to just about any situation, though the strain of constantly reshaping his own body chemistry prevents him from doing so indefinitely.</li><li><em>Autonomous Collective:</em>&nbsp; When surrounded by three or more Grumblers, Bruisers, or Raiders, the Swarmlord's innate propensity towards overwhelming numbers begins to manifest.&nbsp; The pain threshold of all nearby soldiers of the Alien Horde find their pain threshold increased, their senses more focused, and their overall combat ability and morale enhanced twofold.&nbsp; If the number of soldiers increases to ten or more, the Swarmlord is capable of activating a limited Hive Mentality that allows for near-perfect coordination amongst the alien forces.</li></ul><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><div class="floatright">(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v296/rcburner/PuppeteerGolem.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong> Kaeriss<br><strong>Title:</strong> The Artificier<br><strong>Gender:</strong> Indeterminate; Female Pronouns<br><strong>Age:</strong> Unfathomable<br><strong>Size Category:</strong> Gargantuan [Size of a small house]<br><strong>Affiliation:</strong> Alien Horde<br><strong>Rank:</strong> Strategist<br><strong>Abilities:</strong><br><ul class="bbc_list"><li><em>Angel's Feathers:</em> A baleful chorus strikes the air like a chisel to a chunk of granite, shattering the very atmosphere with its somber pitch.&nbsp; Key fragments of Kaeriss' wings jettison from the central mass and act as mobile relays for a devastating assault.&nbsp; Precise beams of energy are emitted from the Artificier's core and absorbed by these relays.&nbsp; Once sufficiently saturated, the fragments will autonomously fire upon any and all hostile threats.&nbsp; The attack is so-named because the resulting missiles resemble brilliant tufts of down raining from on high, before impacting with their targets like a wave of shattered glass.</li><li><em>TD-Field:</em>&nbsp; The Total-Denial Field is Kaeriss' ultimate defensive technique, and the one leading to reports of her supposed invincibility.&nbsp; This force field is passively generated, but its boundaries can be actively manipulated by her if she so chooses.&nbsp; It serves to reject all foreign matter from entering this predefined personal space, protecting against energy-based and kinetic attacks in equal measure, reflecting more powerful blows and entities and outright annihilating weaker ones.&nbsp; Though the Angel's Feathers attack can be charged from within the confines of this barrier, the TD-Field must be lowered in order to fire it.</li><li><em>Extraterrestrial Alchemy:</em> With her two largest manipulators, Kaeriss is capable of taking any form of inorganic material and reshaping it according to her needs.&nbsp; This ability is primarily used to transform the buildings of indigenous sentients into heavily fortified structures with a horrifyingly alien appearance better suited to the Horde's needs and aesthetic sensibilities.</li><li><em>Portal Weaving:</em>&nbsp; The Artificier acts as a massive Transport Hub for the Invasion Force, automatically synchronizing with all other translocators within range.&nbsp; This allows her to call in reinforcements with alarming speed and regularity, either from military facilities or vessels stationed in the upper atmosphere.</li></ul>

				@ PumpkinSeeds: Yes, please re-post your character in here so it'll be easier for everyone to find.<br><br>@ Muse: great looking charater so far, might need to add a little more detail to his military career though. <br><br>Such as explaining why he went from the Airforce to a space program (I'm assuming NASA), then walked on mars before participating in a warp experiment (which is a neat highlight to his life), and finally join the Ranger program all in a 8 year jump, with about a year's experience in each program. <br><br>Kind of a fast launched career but, you still have work in progress at the top of you bio, so I look forward to reading the finished product. Great job thus far :D

				<strong>Name</strong>: Raelyn Tadakashi <br><strong>Race</strong>: Human Mutant<br><strong>Sex</strong>: Male<br><strong>Abilities</strong>: Control over Fire and Metal<br><strong>Appearance</strong>:<br><br>(http://i689.photobucket.com/albums/vv251/nightsketcher1/Final%20Fantasy/DarkCloud.jpg)<br><br><strong>Personality</strong>: <br>Raelyn is sensitive, calm, and a little cocky. He's a nice guy that doesn't allow anyone to push him around. <br><br>He knows his place and he sticks to it most of the time. Though once in awhile he does tend to do some rather risky and dangerous things.<br><br>He's also very protective of his friends, willing to lay his life down for them at a moments notice.<br><br><strong>Character History</strong>:<br><br>Raelyn was born into a family of contruction workers and swordsmithes who worked for fairs and carnivals with reneissance themes. They'd made enough money from being employed at a construction firm, that they were able to make their own busness and branch out to bunsesses both large and small.<br><br>Most of Raelyn's young life was quite normal, he played with the youngsters of the neighborhood, played video games and went to the fairs and carnivals that hired his family to make swords and sell them, as an additional attraction. As he grew up he had the fortunate experience of fighting off bullies in school, which made him a pretty good street brawler by the time he graduated. In addition to street fighting he took training under martial artists after school and swordplay when he got home. His family, which included two older brothers and a younger sister, had always been a little weird. The making of battle ready blades and fighting with them was just a hobby however, but, it was a hobby Raelyn enjoyed immensly.<br><br>Raelyn worked his way through college like most students, the lessons of being independant and a provider being driven into him his whole life as he grew. He bought his first motorcycle at the age of 18, with the money he'd earned while working for his family.<br>It was during this time that he came into his abilities of controlling fire and steel. He trained daily in his abilities, going out into the country so no one would see him, and practicing to control his abilities.<br><br>(http://i689.photobucket.com/albums/vv251/nightsketcher1/Final%20Fantasy/CloudsMotorcycle.jpg)<br><br>Raelyn worked his way through college like most students, the lessons of being independant and a provider being driven into him his whole life as he grew. When he reached the age of 21 he joined the Marines as a Private, and took basic in boot camp a week later.<br>The next year the alien's invaded, and Raelyn was drafted into the Ranger program. They equipped him with an Assault Rifle, which was able to equip a sniper and demolitions attachments, a large battle rifle for ground assault and a plasma sword for close combat, training him in their use. He flew through the close combat training with the plasma sword, thanks to his background in swordplay.<br><br>(http://i689.photobucket.com/albums/vv251/nightsketcher1/Final%20Fantasy/Contact___Anti_Material_Rifle_by_Shimmering_Sword-1.jpg)<br><br>(http://i689.photobucket.com/albums/vv251/nightsketcher1/Star%20Wars/clonetrooperrifleDC-15.jpg) <br><br>(http://i689.photobucket.com/albums/vv251/nightsketcher1/Final%20Fantasy/Fantasy_sword_by_mesanger-1.jpg) (http://i689.photobucket.com/albums/vv251/nightsketcher1/Final%20Fantasy/Enjina_Ref_by_Exxylo-1.jpg)<br><br>They also gave him a form fitting power suit, which enhanced his abilities and increased his running speed and strength by half. <br>3 Years went into training him with the power suit and his abilities, while he went on missions with other teams.<br>Now, he waits for his team to be assembled at the rank of Captain.<br><br>(http://i689.photobucket.com/albums/vv251/nightsketcher1/Star%20Wars/Cyber_Warior_by_PE_Travers-1.jpg) (http://i689.photobucket.com/albums/vv251/nightsketcher1/Final%20Fantasy/Cyborg_Ninja_by_ichitakaseto.jpg)<br><br>(Mesh it between these two armors and you're pretty close to what I've imagined, lol)

				I got permission from Pumpkin Seeds to reference Dedika in the background.<br><br><strong>Name: </strong> Zmey<br><strong>Race:</strong> NuGene<br><strong>Sex:</strong> Male<br><strong>Abilities:</strong> Gene/Nano-Augmented Strength, Gene/Nano-Augmented Durability<br><strong>Appearance:</strong><br><br>(http://img580.imageshack.us/img580/5469/silvereyes.jpg)<br><br>Wearing Model OMAC-01 Tactical Suit:<br>(http://img714.imageshack.us/img714/8281/halocharacterspartanren.jpg)<br><br>Height: 7'<br>Weight:&nbsp; &nbsp;397 lbs.<br>Skin: White&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<br>Hair: Black&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<br>Eyes: Blue&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<br><br><strong>Personality:</strong><br><br>Zmey is a creature utterly unrestrained by conventional ethical concerns. He has been conditioned through advanced psychological methods to feel no fear when entering a combat zone, and to feel no remorse upon terminating a target. Collateral damage will not cause him to experience guilt or remorse, however, it is an operational concern and he is conditioned to regard excessive collateral damage as undesirable. As a being fabricated, typical motivational factors such as nationalism or reproductive impulse are replaced by the existential certainty of having a purposed existence: Zmey exists to safeguard humanity, even though he is not and cannot ever be a part of it. This has proven to be sufficient to control him.<br><br>He's not without a sense of humour - his name, for instance, amuses him to no end. Amongst the others Rangers, Zmey's liable to be easy-going, prone to loafing, and generally lackadaisical.<br><br><strong>Character History:</strong><br><br>The rise of mutants was, for some, a mathematical certainty. The only uncertainty would be the <em>manner</em> of expression that the eventual mutation would take. And when mutants did arise, for some, it was a wonderful, bold new era for science. For an even smaller subset of this ecstatic group, it meant a type of science that would not be shackled by such petty ethical concerns. <br><br>While the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation was content to kidnap and brainwash mutants into being their operatives, there were other elements in the Putin regime that could never really trust a weapon not wholly of their manufacture. They sought then to leverage the existence of mutants and the brilliance of free science to create soldiers that would be loyal to Russia and Russia alone. Initial genetic experiments were not promising, but science carries on in the face of adversity. Maturing technologies enabled second run test subjects to show more promise. Advances in transgenics enabled hormonally controlled advanced growth that resulted in subjects whose maturation could be dramatically quickened and then halted, so the typical difficulties associated with rushed growth (i.e. extremely shortened lifespans) could be avoided. Additionally, the fast-tracked maturation enabled a wider variety of test subjects, given the shortening of trial turnovers.<br><br>Zmey was part of a group of physical augments. The principles of mutation and transgenic alterations led to a clutch of creatures not entirely human, mutant, or otherwise. They were truly a breed unto themselves. And their progress was above expected parameters, although 50% of subjects perished from unforeseen complications in development - excess hypertrophy, insufficient skeletal reinforcement, terminal hormone imbalances, and so forth. But Zmey survived.<br><br>His childhood, as such, consisted of a strictly regimented course of exercizes, tactical training, scientific observation, and chemical therapies. After six years he was fully matured, and a regimen of chemical and hormonal therapies brought his metabolism into check - he would age at a rate estimated to be roughly analogous to that of a standard human, but unforeseen complications did not bear this out. Zmey has not outwardly aged since his maturation, and although the evidence of age is present, he may be functionally immortal because his cells resist conventional degeneration of the aging process due to their remarkable durability.<br><br>Before being seconded to the Rangers, Zmey and his clutch worked with Russian Special Forces. Their missions were typically ones engaged in abroad, although domestically they did hunt mutants. Zmey has 18 confirmed mutant kills to his tally, although as far as he is concerned they are not worth bragging about - none of them were older than 13. It was more common for Zmey's group to be deployed to kill pirates who had seized Russian oil tankers, assassinate leaders who were not willing to bow to Putin's wishes, or to eliminate enemies of regimes of Putin's political allies. Zmey recalls fondly one day when he and his group simply walked into an African village with flamethrowers and burnt it and everyone in it to ash. He is less pleased about how Dedika Tsitvia evaded his clutch three times: once in Colombia, once in Somalia, and a final time in Chechnya. Some of it was bad intelligence, but enough of it was that Dedika was just that good.<br><br><strong>Armament:</strong><br><br>Model OMAC-01 Tactical Suit (pictured above):<br>The OMAC-01 Tactical Suit is the pinnacle of Russian protective garb. It can not only withstand most small arms and melee weapons (including monomolecular edged weaponry and energy weapons), it also houses a second-generation adaptive and regeneration energy shield that can be activated to supplement the armour's physical protection. The suit's internal controls permit the field to be fully or partially generated, enabling as much or as little protection as needed. The suit contains a separate power source exclusively for use with the field, along with the standard power plant (both systems are compatible, and in case of emergency, the suit will draw upon whichever is functioning to maintain vital systems). A small nanohive and high density repair ingots enable the suit to self-repair, provided adequate time. The suit may, through recyclers, support the wearer for 1 standard week without resupply (however unpleasant that may be). The helmet integrates various visual modes, including thermal, active infrared, and an image intensifier, amongst others. The reflective coating upon the helmet's face plate helps to protect against dazzling attacks such as flash bangs.<br><br>Model AX-R9 14mm Revolver:<br>(http://img443.imageshack.us/img443/7034/203104.jpg)<br><br>The AX-R9 is intended primarily as a CQC response to heavily armoured infantry targets. It is also useful for breaching. The primary round is 14mm carbide slug, but the weapon can also accept rounds designed to propel shot with no modifications.<br><br>Model AX-A13 Assault Rifle with integrated AUX-U13 :<br>(http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/2204/assaultriflearmoforion.jpg)<br><br>The Model AX-A13 is a weapon intended to serve the dual roles of assault rifle and light machine gun. It fires a 10mm round. The integrated AUX-U13 employs advances in general ballistics technologies to create a man-portable armour-piercing discarding sabot round to provide the soldier carrying the AX-U13 anti-armour and anti-materiel capabilities. The AUX-13 may, in field conditions, be replaced with the AUX-U11, a grenade launcher capable of accepting a variety of 20mm grenades from the AP line, which offers fragmentation, gas, incindiary, and high energy options.<br><br>Model AXM-M1 Monomolecular Combat Knife:<br>(http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/4229/combatknife2.jpg)<br>The AXM-M1 is a knife crafted with a monomolecular edge, enabling it to cut through virtually any material cleanly and efficiently. A small spool of monofilament wire is located in the handle; the clip at the end can be pulled to draw it out. There is ten inches of wire to the spool. The button on the hilt activates the spool to retract the wire.<br><br>Model AXM-M2 Vibrating Combat Knife:<br>(http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/5362/combatknife.jpg)<br>This model combat knife employs a miniaturized generator in the handle to create ultrasonic vibrations along the blade, enabling it to cut through denser materials than would otherwise be possible. An alternate setting results in the friction from the produced vibrations to superheat the blade, which has been shown in some cases to be effective in defeating energy-based protections.
