The Metroid RP Thread

[Deleted User - 819397]

Enough people that posted on the Roleplay discussion thread that this would be a good idea made it too good to pass up...and since I'm a massive Nintendo fan, who better to start it?

Ok, here's the deal. The Galactic Federation has been taken out by various monsters, alongside the Space Pirates. The new order of the Pirates is cruel and extremely unjust. If you are not a Space Pirate, you are scum. You can lose your food, belongings, and life to a Pirate if they so choose. The galaxy is in chaos...

Ok, rules...
No one is Samus or copies of Samus (this eliminates competition to be her)
You can not be a Space Pirate (so we all suffer under them)
no godmodding (you can have major weapons, but you cannot be invincible)
No being bosses from the games (unless that boss is a bounty hunter)
you are allowed to be a bounty hunter from the games, just not Samus
you can be other people in the galaxy if you wish...you can make up new bounty hunters as well.
posts must be more than 1 sentence
Phazon corruption is allowed...just remember the costs of using it too frequently... (NOTE: I hold the authority to remove phazon corruption if it is abused.)

Here is the standard sign up:

Me first

Name: Ghor
Age: ?
Race: ?
Occupation: Bounty Hunter
weapons: His ship (doubles as an armor suit). Weapons of his ship include lasers, plasma cannon, bombs, scythes, etc. Also carries a hand plasma cannon
Ship: his armor suit (doubles as a ship)
bio: Ghor is a veteran of the liberation war of Wotan VII. During the war, Ghor was heavily injured, and was forced to modify much of his body with state-of-the-art cybernetic replacements. As a result, only 6% of his original body remains. However, Ghor still has personality, and is known for his empathy, compassion, and sense of humor. He is also gentle and intelligent, though a GF lore scan indicates that he's not "most skilled of fighters." He helps the weak, poor, and troubled by working as a Bounty Hunter for free or giving bounty money he earned to the victims of his targets.
Ghor also has a large armorsuit which doubles as a gunship and provides him with strong armaments, making him formidable in combat. Merging with his suit causes his personality to dramatically change, making him aggressive and violent. Ghor works very well with anything mechanical, causing him to be often hired for missions requiring computer infiltration or manipulation.
Homeworld: Wotan VII

I'm not sure I want to participate in this one. There's no good guys to fight for.
I'll still create a character or two, though. Bending the rules quite a bit.

(Never mind the one in the spoiler, I can't use that one.)
[spoil]Name: SA-C, also known as Second Aran.
Race: Human with chozo/metroid DNA, male.
Occupation: Once elite GF agent, now performs freelance terrorist actions against space pirates.
Weapons: Star Beam (upgraded power beam), Gravity Missiles (incredible payload).
Ship: Twin Hunter, a copy of Samus Aran's gunship, enlarged to carry an arsenal of weapons.

Bio: SA-C is the product of the limits of Galactic Federation technology, weeks before the rule of the space pirates became absolute.
Originally a marine named Isaac Houston, he volunteered for a secret program to replicate Samus's power suit and her abilities,
and was altered with chozo and metroid DNA (like Samus) before being outfitted for a Varia Suit (again, made to replicate Samus).
While his beam weapon and missiles are possibly the strongest in the galaxy, he lacks the morph ball and screw attack.
After the fall of the Galactic Federation, Second Aran retreated to Aether, where he prepares assaults against space pirate installations.[/spoil]

Name: Zinder
Age: MXVII
Race: Zchrin
Occupation: Weapon specialist
Weapons: Varied
Ship: Custom Armed Merchant ship
Bio: Zinder is very experienced for his age--ever since he was a youngling he had been taking guns apart to figure out what makes them tick. He now creates his own custom weaponry and sells it for a "nice" price (for him) to anybody willing to come by his shop. He has aided many bounty bounty hunters throughout his commission, and also gives them a discount (which is extremely helpful, given the price that he demands). Lately, however, Space Pirates have been causing trouble for him: inspecting his stock and trying to "commandeer" a few weapons. An extremely rowdy group of pirates had to be taken out. They were eventually sucked into space with "no fault of Zinder's" <cough, cough>. The Pirates have been unreasonable, though, so now Zinder is on the run from the law.
Homeworld: Zchinalaki V

(Celxius, really? No copies of Samus please...or people with samus' abilities...)

Ghor saw Zinder's ship floating near Norion. Smiling, he guided his small ship into the docking bay. Lowering his frontal shields, he had the ship release him and stepped out. "Zinder, you around?" he called. Without waiting for a reply, he went to the shop part of the ship and rang the bell.

(For those of you who don't know what Ghor looks like...I'll attach a pic of him without his suit/ship)

then, a pic of him in his suit...

Name: J
Age: ?
Race: None
Occupation: Bounty Hunter
weapons: Plasma Cannons, hyper missiles, napalm grenades, and other form of weaponry
ship: Himself
bio: J knows nothing about himself. He is a shell. An android. He knows emotion, he knows pain, and he knows of revenge. All he remembers is that he was once something. But now, he is a killing machine. He uses a suit to support the remaining human frame that he has. He keeps 70% of his human parts, which is all of his lower body and parts of his chest, heart, brain, face, and his right arm. Everything else has been replaced by robotic parts and fake organs. He occasionally works with Ghor on missions.
Homeworld: ?

Name: R-Lir
Age: Dunno, about young adult.
Race: Luminoth
Homeworld: Aether.
Occupation: Lesser Sentinel, Sanctuary Fortress.
Weapons: Everything.
Ship: An upgraded Quadraxis, suited for space travel.

Bio: R-Lir is a direct descendent of O-Lir, and has inherited the former Sentinel's incredible skill with mechanics.
One of the first things R-Lir did with his skills was weaponize the entire Sanctuary Fortress.
The fortress now orbits Aether and has stopped every space pirate attack so far with ease,
meaning that Aether is a safe refuge for near every race in the galaxy.

Nowadays, R-Lir is amassing a gigantic horde of high tech, using some of it to upgrade the Fortress,
more to build starships for the rest of Aether's population, and keeping the rest for reasons unknown.
To that end, he often sets out from Aether aboard a Quadraxis, to steal what he can from the space pirates,
and give them a good kicking in the process.

Ghor saw Zinder's ship floating near Norion. Smiling, he guided his small ship into the docking bay. Lowering his frontal shields, he had the ship release him and stepped out. "Zinder, you around?" he called. Without waiting for a reply, he went to the shop part of the ship and rang the bell.

"Hey, Ghor," Zinder walked out of his workshop and stepped behind his counter. "Planning to buy illegal firearms, or do you just want to chat?"

 

[DeletedUser]

A giant white light appeared to flash across the sky. Suddenly, it had crashed straight into the ship, next to Ghor and Zinder. It stood up, with smoke coming off of it. It moved it's neck, which was covered in synth skin. "Hello Ghor, Zinder," J said. He took off his helmet, which kept his face protected. It was a light skin color. He had a crop topped hair style, and his eyes were red, which were replaced with robotic eyes. His left cheek was replaced with robotics, and the rest of his face was still covered in flesh and bone. "And for me, before you ask, it will be weaponry. And to fix my suit here. It's had a kink here in the right arm. Won't let the plasma cannon fire anymore, and thats my main line of defense right now my friend," he said.

"Okay, J. The suit'll cost about 100 credits, and I'll have to keep it till tomorrow. For the weaponry, I just created a new batch of sonic grenades. If you're looking for firearms, though, you've got your choice of plasma blasters, electro-cannons, and seismic rifles. If you want something really special, I just created my new masterpiece: a blaster that fires a solution filled with nanobots that chew through electrical wiring - perfect for any robot that's getting on your nerves. So, what'll it be?" Zinder, through with his monologue, grinned at J with his 3-inch diameter eyes.

 

[Deleted User - 819397]

Ghor laughed. "You sure believe in dramatic entrances, don't you?" he asked. Anyway, I'm here for both business and pleasure. The space pirate ship's armor has improved greatly...my suit's missiles hardly dent them nowadays. I was wondering if you had improved missiles for my ship? I'll pay in full, plus I'll fix that problem in the circuit board over there." Ghor gestured to a sparking scratch in a large circuit board. "That's a five second fix with my plasma beam on repair mode. What do you say?"

 

[DeletedUser13682]

A dark shape, coming out of the dark emptiness of space, its only indication is the breif blotting out of stars. This black mass was suddenly illuminated from the sun of this system, briefly showing the black on black paintjob, not seen for years on any vehicle. The ship, nearing its destination, got blotted out again, passing behind the destination. The ship smoothly and silently lands in the docking bay, the inhabitant getting out, just as smoothly and silently. The armor of the person is in the same paint scheme as the ship. The person walked slowly, calmly, and quietly to the shop area. Upon arriving, the person greeted all gathered. "Hello! I am Rolf Jannson, of the Dark Space corporation. Who is the shop owner here?"

 

[DeletedUser14280]

"That would be Zinder." a familiar voice said.
Everyone looked around sharply as R-Lir was suddenly there.
He looked over the relaxing crowd and spoke again:
"Why would so many bounty hunters be gathered in one place, aboard a ship selling illegal weaponry, in orbit above Norion?"

(R-Lir is just stopping in to talk before going to interrupt repairs on Norion's planetery defence system for the 6th month running. It belongs to the space pirates, of course.)

 

[Deleted User - 819397]

"R-Lir...am I right?" Ghor asked. "I heard you've rebuilt the Sanctuary Fortress...almost ridiculously strong..." he stood straight, nearing 8 feet thanks to his mechanical limbs. "I also hear you're protecting a ton of people from a ton of different planets...quite admirable, if you are to be trusted. I'm withholding judgement for now." He walked over to the torn circuit board, activated his plasma beam, and fixed the tear. He then walked over to his ship, pulled an odd mechanism out, and walked back. "this is what makes my missiles, so I never run out." he told Zinder. "You think you can modify it to enhance the missiles? Don't worry, I'm working against the space pirates...as I think we all are here..."

 

[DeletedUser]

J smiled and said,"If I wasn't a robot, I'd go with that nanobot rifle. But for now, I just want a plasma beam rifle upgrade and to fix the armor. Also, the jetpack could use some modification. It's already going light speed. I need it faster." He smiled with a huge grin and then said,"And also, some missile upgrades to the rifle. And that seismic upgrade, put that into the palm. And throw in a surprise." He gave him 1,000 credits for it all and said,"The extra is for the surprise. I need something big."

 

[DeletedUser14280]

As J spoke, his eye drifted over to R-Lir, who had a strange disk shaped object in his hand.
As soon as he focused on it, R-Lir noticed and told him what it was:
"Oh, this? It's a missile upgrade I've been working on for some time. It may be the surprise you're looking for."
"Really? And it does what, precisely?" J asked.
"Well, if I have it working properly now, it should let you fire up to...25 missiles? All at once. All homing, all high payload."
"Not...bad." J said, before turning back to Zinder.

 

[DeletedUser]

"Not....bad," he said as he turned his face. "My missile payload can fire off 50," he said with a smirk on his face.

 

[DeletedUser14280]

R-Lir raised an eye, "Amazing. I left mine at 25 because I thought any more would be inefficient. I can't think of any situation where you'd need more than 2 dozen missiles."
