Transformers: Dawn of a New Age Signups and Discussion Topic (Sign-Ups Open)

Nice! Alright, i have an idea already but I do have one question that will make things easier, is it possible for a cybertronian to have a “human” alt-mode? Not like, actual flesh and blood, but a close enough facsimile that they could pass for human unless someone was looking closely. (I.e. Odd eyes or strange skin pallor)

Yes, that’s definitely possible.

Interesting indeed! I think Ivory’s good to go. Would you like a rundown of everything that’s happened in the game so far?

Alright. Well, the other night (in-game), there was a big holiday in Iacon in which the PCs got to introduce themselves and interact some. It’s daytime now (again, in-game), and right now the Hall of Records (basically a giant library in Iacon) is under attack by some heavily-armed thieves. I recommend starting your character around that area if you want to get in on that action.

Anything else you’d like to know?

Are the PCs inside the building, and is there any way for him to get inside with minimal detection?

The fight is happening outside the library’s main entrance- that’s where most of the PCs and the hostiles are. If Ivory wants to sneak up on them, he could do it by entering the building from one of its side or rear entrances. Two of the PCs did that, also.

Got it, post in a bit!

Also, I lost Zip

He’ll turn up.

One last question, are the terrorists human or cybertronian?

Here’s a quick rundown of who the enemies in this fight are, for you and anyone else who might have lost track (myself included):

-The terrorist leader is a big guy with four hovering drones under his command. He also has a plasma cannon in his right arm and a sword in his left. He’s currently fighting Axis Prime and Kitai.

-Another big guy named Loader is fighting Conjoint and Snowblind. He’s armed with at least one chainsaw in his right arm and a chest-mounted shotgun, and he has rotating shields on his back and triceps.

-There’s a grey predacon (dragon transformer) who’s currently fighting Roaster and Niko. His armaments include a mortar cannon and a micro-missile launcher. One of his beast mode’s eyes just got gouged out.

-A green-armored cybertronian has recently been vibe-checked by Stonefist, and is now unconscious. He’s stolen a mysterious black case from the Hall of Records, which Stonefist has taken from him.

-A transformer with a helicopter alt-mode was shot down and had his leg set on fire. He’s pretty much out of the fight.

-A red transformer named Turnpike was shot up by Tokamak, and it looks like he’s gonna be taken prisoner by Firestorm.

-A human woman in powered armor was recently knocked unconscious when Cargo threw a cybertronian-sized flash grenade at her.

-A gunship has recently shown up and is hovering over the main entrance to the Hall of Records. It has at least two more terrorists aboard: its pilot, and a little yellow dude that’s jumped out to harass Stonefist and steal the black case from him. He’s about to get vibe-checked by XM-333.

And that should be everybody. Hope this helps those who need it.

Oh and also Aralysa managed to destroy one of the drones, so now there’s only three.

And also Maximus showed up cause he wandered off a while ago and never really went anywhere. So I decided to bring him in here. It didn’t feel right having the lad completely uninvolved from the action.

Would it be alright if ivory was the one to secure the woman for questioning? It’s very much his sort of deal.
