Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

Ressie and Gregory are ruin divers, though Ressie is just an assistant. They use a collection of weaponry and gear that results from their years of diving (In Gregory's case, Ressie's on her first dive and is mostly using hand-me downs.)

Ressie's Gear:
MK-Vitech Combat Drone (Humanoid) - The first drone that was managed to be salvaged from Ressie's first dig. It has currently been equipped with a crudely modified mining laser, the digging tool firing a laser that takes a few seconds before it can start to damage anything, but once it starts there are few materials on their planet that can stop it, and an energy-stealing-unleashing set of claws. The Drone's control's are somewhat fried, at the moment Ressie can only directly control it for 5 minutes. The autopilot function has a set list of command sequences that is picks from randomly. It does not pick what is best for the situation.

Mogler Repair Drone (Humanoid-ish) - Non-Combat drone that is able to repair both organic and inorganic material, as long as it has blueprints to work off of. Resembles a human, with the exception of four legs and six arms.

The Sweet Lady - Hand-me-down shotgun from Gregory. Functions like a normal shotgun, but is able to condense the shot to increase the damage, but shorten the range.

Contracter - Allows her to form a contract with one of -currently- four spirits, depending on what sort of blessing she desires. "Hearts" for a blessing that allows her to avoid death once, "Spades" for a temporary increase of all her gears functionality, "Diamonds" for an increase in her own abilities, and "Clubs" for one time slow time ability. Ressie's contractor is currently defaulted to Hearts, with the default offering being 2 hours of playing a musical instrument. Default means that she does not have to actually negotiate for this blessing, it can kick in when needed.



Gregory's Gear:

While Ressie uses weapons and other gear, Gregory's main forms of combat come from his modified body, and his own form of contracts.

Datatech Knife - The one piece of equipment that Gregory has. The Datatech knife can change its length to a certain degree, though as it gets longer it gets duller. In its normal state it can sever through most materials. With the zero point function he can cut through the fabric of the plane to create a temporary 'null zone' that simply erases everything that connects with it. This can only happen once every day, and the knife loses its special functions, becoming a normal knife, until it has recharged.

Gregory's Contracts - Gregory's contracts differ slightly from Ressie's. While Ressie has to form a contract with an individual sprite or godling each time, Gregory can switch freely between his, as he paid single, hefty price up front, while Ressie makes small payments each time she forges the contract. Gregory's contracts are not with godlings or such. They were forged with other people/creatures. Moisim and Doppel were fellow ruin divers, Pheasant is Gregory's name for phoenixes, Biyter was a construct found in a ruin.

Regenerative Cells - This modification was taken from Ressie's Mogler Repair Drone, allowing for regeneration of both Gregory's organic and inorganic parts. While the regeneration is fairly obvious, it is in no way instant, nor can it simply grow new limbs, the severed parts must be touching the body at least a little bit. This is the one modification that sticks with Gregory no matter the blessing.

Heatwave - This modification allows Gregory to use his own body heat as a weapon, either lances of fire or -slow- rolling firestorms. This isn't spammable in his basic state, and is not available in Biyter contract.

Heart of the Leech - Few organs remain in Gregory's body, and the heart is not one of them. This modification allows him to draw in electricity from organics and inorganics, as long as he has penetrated their outer shell/flesh. Organics will go brain-dead if they stay in his grasp too long. This is the ability of his contract-less state. This modification is replaced when he changes.

Contract: Moisim - This contract increases the potency of Heatwave, though not the usability. This contract heightens Gregory's senses, and provides a modest increase in his mobility.

Contract: Doppel - This modification creates a second Gregory, though they are both contract-less and neither can use Heart of the Leech. (Heatwave and Regenerative Cells are the only modifications in play)

Contract: Pheasant - This contract increases the effectiveness of Regenerative Cells, allowing for complete regrowth of severed limbs (though takes a while), and very quick repairing of torn tissue. Gregory is cloaked in flames while under this contract. Heatwave is still available, and has little cost.

Contract: Biyter - Gregory's skin hardens while under this contract, allowing him to repel light physical attacks, reflect minor destructive magics, and reduce heavier magics to a small degree. The Biyter contract allows Gregory to shatter inorganic material (armor and machines is common targets) , but the attacks to organics themselves are incredibly weak, light punches can be an overstatement at times

Contract: (Empty) - This contract 'slot' has yet to be filled.
