I liked the ending as it showed some sort of vulnerability on the part of Bernard. Things definitely did not go according to plan and as such was rather sloppy in his methods. For a short little blip it definitely added character!
Oooooh, not only did this add character development, but a whoole lot of future story too. You gave me a lot to work with here! ;D
When I get some time I'll update the skill list and add the evasive driving skill. I may also add more detail to clear up any confusing bits with how to use certain skills.
And I think Tamiko is going to be an awesome super hero. I can't remember though if you said she was going to be a NPC or an actual full time character? I'm pretty sure you said a NPC, but I have a bad memory.

I didn't see blunt strike on the current skill list but I'm not sure if it is suppose to be or not Also Subdue was originally unable to be performed until the victim was under40hp. Currently it reads as under 60hp. Is that correct ??s
Considering all the work that went into Tamiko I might play her as a minor PC instead. It might be a nice change to do some good withing the confines of Osiris. I think she will be an interesting addition to play. I kind of see her as a goodie goodie without fault. Speaking of Tamiko....care to design a taser for her to wield??

14. Wooden Baseball bats/Baton: A basic, sturdy, wooden blunt "weapon" used mostly for practice sessions. Some of the gang members in the area carry these around as weapons. They do a fair amount of damage to the poor victim on the other end of the object Stats: +2 ATK, +2 DEF Adds +5 to subdue skill (blunt strike). Price: $60
The blunt strike comes from using the blunt weapon that can be bought in the megomart general store, you can't get the bonus unless the weapon is equipped. And I updated the Subdue skill so instead of 40 HP I bumped it up to 60. Taking HP down to 40 was too close to death, so now it is a bit easier to subdue. I was trying to cut down on deaths... But you know, if you want to still take the time to do extra damage and kill people, help yourself. The update can be found in the news/updates page... I don't know which day I did it though...
As for the taser, I was considering changing the Plasma pistol a bit so that it has a stun function, but the idea never really clicked. I'll add some type of stun taser thing in the general store.
I'll think things over on the weekend.

I think I will skip over the remainder of the journey home. The plan is to pick up Bernard's story several hours later when he awakes in his apartment trying to piece together the events that brought him to this point.There is also the contents of the stolen briefcase and the two Hydra agents from exxel. Part of his exploration may involve a news cast of the massacre which will trigger the missed meeting with Bianca. Speaking of Bianca I am toying with the idea of the Black Flame paying her an impromptu meeting (depending on the information exposed in the briefcase)with a partnership agreement. Bernard is going to need resources if he is to continue and Bianca could provide them in exchange for bringing her closer to the truth. Perhaps they could even work out a more appropriate moniker for this infamous troublemaker.
Yeah, he can skip ahead to the apartment. I don't feel like posting today, I'm really tired, so I'll start tomorrow.
I'll make a news report about the crime in the alley, and now the strange man that was seen there. Also I'll have to talk about the Carson meeting in the same news report. I have something really good planned for the news. ;D
I sent a PM with the OPD gear, the list is a bit long. I actually had a color scheme and a specific image in mind for how both Hydra and the OPD looked in the city, but I didn't include it in the RP due to laziness.
I now can't wait for Day 7, there is going to be a lot to write about!

I find it oddthat boots and gloves (even though advanced) provide more protective value than a vest which guards most vital organs in the torso.
The Advanced and Elite vests give more defense, but I like the way the basic vest looks so I gave it to the OPD.
The OPD colors were suppose to be white and black. Both Hydra and the OPD colors were suppose to be white and black, and almost all the main weapons in the Hydra armory are white and black, like the SAR-15 and the SMG, and the HAA pistol.
This is the closest I could find to it... Here is how I kind of envisioned it to look:
So imagine the pics from the Hydra armory, but make the outfit similar to the above pic. Except make the basic vest white and their stomach would be exposed in a basic black long sleeve shirt. Their lower half would also be white pants with a large black OPD logo on their thigh (words in white). With black knee pads, black boots, and for special occasions a white helmet with a black visor. Since the year is 2055 I wanted them to have a more futuristic look to them.
Based on the pics in the Hydra Armory, the OPD seem more like a Gothic police force...
I didn't add all these minor details though because I kind of treat the RP as an alternate universe to my alternate universe.

Once again I am finding it hard to find some quality time among my workday this week. While Bernard likely will not be active again until morning after sleeping off the effects of his fatigue. I had planned to introduce Nomiko (or at least view herself as a potential hero as she looked in the mirror listening to the newscast of recent crime) but I think I will explore the character using a different account if that is alright by you. Let me know what you will need from my end to make it happen.
BTW I took a look at the additions. I think subduing may play an important roll in combat. Travelling alone isn't as viable an option as before. Safety in numbers now looks more promising.
That is what I had planned from the start. You'll see later on. I have really big plans!
If you make a new account I'll go ahead and approve it. You pretty much already made her bio, so you just need to paste that into the "Hydra database" topic, and then give her an item storage post. Er... I think that is about it.
When signing up the most difficult part is reading over the site, but actually making the character only consists of a bio and item storage.
And don't worry about not being able to post and being busy. I was suppose to do a few more updates and some posts over the weekend and never got around to it...
