    Author update!

    I'm editing stuff! But also incredibly dried out of writing power atm. I'll get going again soon, but just bear with me for a bit. I'm publishing a chapter of XCOM today, then start on the daily writing (not publishing) again tomorrow morning. In the meantime, always remember:

    Remembering Koji Wada

    Like every year, I like to remember the man/legend responsible for the theme songs of one of my favorite shows of all time on the anniversary of his death.

    So if you were wondering about the timing for the latest Isekai chapters? There you go.

    Welp, here's a life update

    These last couple of weeks have been a bit of a rollercoaster. Good things have happened, and also bad ones. No wonder I could relate to both Furina and Navia in the latest Isekai chapter. Sometimes pretending things are fine is really exhausting, even if they do get better.

    Update to the Isekai coming tonight! And some additional details and change of plans.

    First, to everyone waiting patiently for the next Isekai chapter, I apologize for the delay. I know there are a lot of people that want to see another visit to Hell happen soon, and it will, I promise. However, due to some circumstances, I decided for a different pair of visitors to visit the bar this week.

Build-a-squad for Sunset! · 8:47pm Dec 2nd, 2015

Hello, everyone! If you're following "Gunsmoke" then you know that Desert Mirage's Squad is entering the competition to have a final showdown with the elected squad from the Japanese server!

And this is where everyone else goes:

You know you should be reading the story.

But, if you are indeed following the story, I need some help to build two more squads to face off against hers. Any gun and build from GGO is allowed, but no Mane 6 characters are.

So, I need a total of 14 characters, if you want to help. Please include: Name, Main gun, secondary weapon, armor and if you have an idea of their tactics, add them as well!

And me too, I guess!

Do the guns have to be from GGO?

3587491 Nope. But if it's really unusual, let me know a few more details.

3587494 Can the characters be my OCs? Also, how many characters per person; can we create a whole squad (in which case, how many in a squad)?

3587503 OCs are fine. I'd rather them be OCs, tbh. And there's 7 members to a squad. If you want to create it, that's cool, but I might pick and match from others if it comes to it.:twilightsheepish:

3587507 Okay. It may take me a while, but I actually have 7 OCs.:rainbowlaugh: I can have a squad for you within the hour (if Internet connection is kind). Just for the record, the guns they'll be using will be from Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 (because they're too freaking awesome!!!). That okay?

3587516 sure thing

Wait, by armor, do we describe it, or is there a website that has classes or something? And how old is Sunset?

Wanderer D
Moderator

3587611 You can describe it.

And it's their in-game name we use, right?

You know now I really want to try and come up with at least one OC. I will have to think about this.

Edit: Also any idea where the OC's will need to be from?

3587680 American server. So anywhere in the continent

Age: 17
Hair: Amber with lighter highlight
Eyes: Blue
Main: Weevil
Secondary: Dual RK5 (Dusk and Dawn)
Armor: Light armor; brown top with only a left sleeve, black khakis, brown boots; black fingerless gloves, goggles, headphones (for comm and knockout sound from concussion grenades)
Strategy: Blitzkrieg, run-and-gun style; prefers speed to power and likes to maintain movement, both in open areas and places with cover, usually letting his opponents run out their mags and/or move in to take them on with a gun-ken fighting style with his pistols.

Name: Roxy Cane
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Hair: Blonde with purple highlight
Eyes: Purple
Main: Dingo
Secondary: MR6
Armor: Thick; purple top with long sleeves, black khakis, black boots; gloves, blue-tinted shades
Strategy: Hard and fast; charges in with heavy armor and barrels through opposition faster than they can react.

Name: Aegis Cross
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Hair: Blue
Eyes: Green
Main: Gorgon
Secondary: Combat Knife
Armor: Heavy; black top, blue khakis, black boots

Eyes: Blue
Main: SVG-100
Secondary: Razorback
Armor: Light; green top, black khakis, grey boots
Strategy: Trapper; prefers to set traps for enemies (mines, C4, snares/stun grenades, etc) and takes enemies from a distance; watches field and alerts teammates of enemy locations; always keeps traps to cover her rear, in case someone finds her; changes spots randomly

Name: Blitz Charge
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Hair: Red with white streak
Eyes: Pink
Main: Dual Pharo
Secondary: Micro-Missile Launcher (Rumble)
Armor: Light; pink sleeveless crop top, blue camouflage khakis, black boots; fingerless gloves, headphones (comm, muffle loud explosions near her)
Strategy: Explosive expert: when not running and gunning enemies with fast-firing weapons, she can hold many grenades and isn't afraid to use them (usually cooks them to give enemies less time to throw back); loves her C4 and rocket launcher as well. Think of Jinx from League of Legends.

Name: Midnight
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Hair: Black
Eyes: Blue
Main: Drakon
Secondary: Silenced MR6 with katana
Armor: Light; black top, black khakis, black boots; wears mask that covers from the nose-down
Strategy: Silent assassin; sticks to the shadows and cover and takes enemies from either up close or extremely far, then puts distance between himself and that area. Is excellent with his sword, being able to deflect enemy bullets with it while advancing and foreign at them.

Gender: Female
Age: 17
Hair: Light brown
Eyes: Brown
Main: Man-O-War
Secondary: Argus
Armor: Medium; green top with 3/4 length sleeves, grey khakis, black boots

Note: all weapons are from COD: BO3. You can check here for pictures. Are they okay?

I would love to help, but my knowledge of guns, within GGO or otherwise, is precisely 0. Well, that's not quite true; on a hundred point scale, I'd guess I rank about a 5, but my point stands.

3587763 Pretty cool! It's a very similar Squad to Mirage's, tbh. :rainbowdetermined2:

Wanderer D
Moderator

3587845 If you think up a character and their strategy, I can assign them the guns.

3587893 I'm thinking up a pair of people who mainly work together right now, and the one has an M2-HB should be interesting.

3587888 Note: I've made some changes/additions.

Wanderer D

3587945 Not everything will translate exactly into the GGO system tho... and the katana thing for the sniper might be pushing it since the only way Kirito managed that (besides extremely high level) was with a dedicated build.

Do you have a name for the squad?

3587956 Well, Midnight obviously isn't on the same level as Kirito. He just blocks those stray ones he can't dodge. More of a speed guy.

Team name is Daybreak Blaze. Symbol (if applicable) looks like a grinning blue flame with fangs.

3587975 It's really similar to Mirages' group, down to a player by player. Depending on whether other people submit ideas, I might mix and match from other OCs to give it a bit of variety. Then again, I could just have a really close match. :trixieshiftleft:

3587993 Cool. Most of these are actually alternate names for my OCs. I can't wait to see how you manage them.:twilightsmile:

3587893 Ok, I think I've got something

Name: Storm King
Gender: Male
Main: dual pistols or something, maybe? (???)
Secondary: Green photon sword
Description: Short black hair that sticks out at all angles, as though he's been electrically shocked. Bright green eyes. Wears a patchwork of light armor decorated with lightning bolt motifs under a snazzy trenchcoat (no, seriously, the item's name is "Snazzy Trenchcoat." It offers no bonuses other than looking snazzy af)
Tactics: High-speed hit-and-run with lots of zipping around to disorient enemies and leave them open for teammates to finish. After Kirito's phenomenal performance in the BoB, Storm King tried to emulate his fighting style with a surprising amount of success (i.e., a positive nonzero amount--how large, I'll leave to your discretion ;P), but generally keeps that under wraps so he can (try to) pull off a surprise victory if necessary.
Other notes: High AGI-DEX build. Usually the largest ham in any given room, but will try to tone it down if asked nicely

You know I've really haven't made many characters but I guess it won't hurt to try,

Name: Rock
Gender: Male
Age: 22
Hair: Red
Eyes: Blue
Height: 6 Feet 8 Inches
Primary: Riot Shield
Secondary: G18 Machine Pistol (I assume their'd be a version of it in GGO)
Strategy: Protection, he is basically mobile cover ether protecting allies on the front lines or watching the back of a sniper. As far as combat goes his primary mode of attack wil be bashing with his shield or shooting with his G18 in close range. Knowing this he's rather weak at mid to long range.
Armor: A grey ballistic body suit with helmet. Offers high protection against both explosive and bullet based damage but leaves him unable to run due to weight of the armor (plus the shield) (think of the Minigun Guy's speed from the show).

Name: Surial
Gender:Male
Age: 22
Guns; Dual mac 10s and a shotgun as backup
Fighting style: Up close and personal, is known to employ explosives as a distraction to get closer
Appearance in game: Wears a marine combat helmet at all times and is rarely seen without sunglasses. He prefers to wear a brown duster to hide his weaponry over a plain shirt and jeans.
Misc: Likes to be called Sgt, Surial but didn't want to put it as his official name.

Name: Panda_King

Gender: Female

Hair: Black

Age: 27

Size: 6'1" Stocky Build

Eyes: Black

Primary: XM214 Microgun (4 barrel configuration.)

Ammunition type: Phosphorus Tipped

Secondary: Stun Claw

Tech: Flash Grenades and Magnesium Flares

Armor: Heavy armor consisting of interlocking plates for the upper body and an Iron Curtain configuration for the legs. (Basically an armored skirt for greater range of movement in exchange for a weakness to mines and explosions from below.) Colored with a panda pattern. Helmet is equipped with noise and light dampening equipment but leaves the wearer unable to turn their head due to the attached neck armor.

Strategy: Heavy Gun Support. Main role is to assist other players by creating temporary positioning advantages such as using flares behind the team to obscure the opponents sight. XM214 Microgun is not optimized for damaging armored opponents since the phosphorous rounds have low penetration ability. They instead are used to mark targets so they can't run and deal a long lasting damage over time debuff. Secondary role is to use high sprint speed to charge and lock down single targets in melee range using stun claw (Is unable to turn much during charge).

Do i have to read gunsmoke to submit XD

Name Longshot
Gender Female
Main : MRL (multi rocket loauncher)
Secondary : Auto Shotgun
Light Armor

i dunno clothing but i guess shes of a smaller body type sorry this is unhelpful.

Tactics Artilery since she mainly gets by by working for hire before each match she explains her tactics to the group she likes to find a high area and let loose a barrage of rockets over the battlefield pinning down targets and scaring them out of cover the huge spread of the rockets adds randomness and unpredictability to her plan which she thinks makes it harder to counter if they sit in cover too long they risk being exploded and she has seen other players leave cover out of fear of a perceived rocket strike raining down on them.

if it comes to close combat she pushes in close with the auto shoty and light armor to stay mobile dropping the MRL though she has on occasion found cause to fire it point blank

Never watched GGO past three or four episodes so i dunno the weapon classes or anything


Enjoy !

Name: Ripp3r
Gender: Female
Age: 19
Main Weapon: M2-HB .50 Machine Gun
Secondary: Kriss Vector
Armor: Olive Green Plate Carrier(Heavy armor), Black Heavy Duty Combat Gloves, and Multicam Combat shirt and pants
Tactics: She is a team player, and mainly works with her IRL friend "Striker". She uses her M2 to control choke points and to create ambushes with the rest of her team. The way that she works is through staying hidden than when most of the enemy team shows up rips through them with the 50 cal. The M2 she has Ripp3r received from a high-level raid boss as a rare drop. If the enemy is too close in on her she switches to her Kriss to get them in CQB.

Name: Striker
Gender: male
Age: 20
Main Weapon: Mossberg 590A1Tactical
Secondary: Sig Sauer P226 MK-26
Armor: Black Chest Rig (light armor), Black T-shirt, Black Khakis, with black combat boots
Tactics: Striker works best as a team like with his friend Ripp3r, thus they generally work together. As his name implies he is a striker with his shotgun and pistol. If Ripp3r and he are held up within a building it will be Striker that covers Ripp3r so he doesn't get flanked and killed. He is also good for clearing buildings within an urban environment.

All weapons have links to their manufacture pages of their weapons. Any questions just ask.

Name: Recoil
Age: 20
Main Weapon: Barrett M107A1 (10 round magazines, variable zoom scope, bi-pod on the front, effective range of up to 2 miles, leaves dust cloud when fired due to the amount of energy put behind the rounds,
Secondary: AK-47 with reflex sights and extended magazines. A combat knife strapped to his thigh for CQC.
Armor: Military grade chest with ceramic and steel blend plates (Medium Armor), Tan t-shirt, grey pants, black combat boots, and a Black Cloak that allows him to turn invisible while completely still.
Tactics: Takes targets of opportunity with his anti-material rifle from long distance. Will switch to his assault rifle and abandon his anti-material rifle when the enemy gets into mid-range or close range. Finally, wielding his combat knife when the enemy is too close for firearms to be effective.

Please ask me if you have any questions

Avatar Name: Sukiru

Hair: Pale Seafoam Green

Age: 17

Eyes: Magenta

Height: 6’1

Primary: Sig 50 Anti-Material Rifle (Attachments are your choice, I think base form is best though)

Secondary: Coonan Cadet Pistol / CQC (Only enough to disable an enemy and escape)

Armor: A pale forest green light Kevlar inlayed open trench coat that flairs out towards the bottom of it, cutting just above his boots. Underneath is a Carbon Fiber Nano Suit in Navy Blue with a smooth yet bumpy texture. A pair of black Cargo relax fit pants covered his lower half with Black Military Grade Combat stealth boots.

Around his waist are several pouches for ammunition and a hook for a blade. Strapped around his right leg is a small sheathe for a simple combat blade and several other pockets and pouches for various items.

Strategy: Always hiding, always moving; preferring stealth and constant movements to keep opponents off his tail. Picking off the opposition one by one. Prefers places with lots of cover, but has little to no issue in moving in open areas trusting his speed and stealth skills to keep him alive and unseen.

Personality: Calm and Sarcastic.

I came up with this in about 10 minutes. If you need anymore specifics feel free to ask. (I posted this for fun)

Looks like fun, I'll definitely submit a couple : D

Name: Valentine
Gender: Female
Main Gun: Mini-gun (real bullets)
Secondary Weapon: Steel Sword.
Amour: Full body black heavy armour.
Strategy: Prefers to remain hidden near the team sniper until enemies get close enough to become a threat. Once they get close enough, she comes out of hiding and unloads on the charging enemies. If they get close enough to make the mini-gun a hindrance, she drops it and starts swinging. She prefer
Other: is fairly amused that since she specced so much in Str, she can wield guns much heavier than the big guys who specced in speed.


Name: Razzle-Dazzle
Gender:Male
Main Weapon: Sniper Rifle (Real bullets)
Secondary Weapon: Machine Pistol or some other light firearm.
Armour: light armour with a helmet and extra protection around the chest. Predominantly soft colours and camouflage patterns.
Preferred Tactics: Likes to keep switching things up so as not to be predictable, but some of his favourites include:
Pairing up with a team member to watch his back so he can fire without much worry.
Starting off in one position, firing enough to give himself away, then trapping the spot and moving to an area where he has a clear shot at his old one.
Picking a location that is technically not a great spot for a sniper to be (I.e few clear shots possible, few escape routes, etc) and surprising the enemy from there.
Shooting the limbs to make enemies easier for his team to dispatch.



Have fun, hope they're of some use to you : )

By popular request...

Name: Butcher
Gender: Male
Age: 27
Hair: Brown, close-cut
Eyes: Brown
Main: X-9 (Red Dot Sight/Extended Mags)
Secondary: Beretta M9
Armor: Carapace Body Armor
Strategy: Works in conjunction with Wallflower. Provides covering fire and suppression for her advance, allowing her to flank and flush her targets. Nickname earned from the dozens of kills he gets against players fleeing his partner. Primary weapon and armor given for being one of the first to successfully beating the 'Ethereal Invasion' PvE event with the now defunct guild 'XCOM'.

Name: Wallflower
Gender: Female
Age: 24
Hair: Black
Eyes: Blue
Main: Alloy Cannon
Secondary: Beretta M9
Armor: Banshee Armor
Strategy: Works in conjunction with Butcher. Advances under covering fire to engage at close range. Numerous accusations of hacking due to her tendency to appear suddenly and without warning, though no hard evidence has surfaced to support the rumors. Primary weapon and armor given for being one of the first to successfully beating the 'Ethereal Invasion' PvE event with the now defunct guild 'XCOM'.

If this is still open, I'll submit these seven (one team?). They are OCs (with different names) I made for a scrapped story-idea a while ago.

BullFrog Society

1
Name: command33R (because 1337 is hard)
Gender: male
Appearance: green hair, bronze skin, gray eyes, Multicameo Plate Carrier with Level III+ Lightweight Body Armor, fitting trousers, fitting poncho, purple shades, gloves, boots
Primary: DSR-1, caliber .338 Lapua Magnum, silenced
Secondary: Five seveN, silenced
Tactics: Though a sniper, he often jumps directly into the fray and is generally not very far from his teammates and often decides to play distraction when the others need a breather. He's killed pretty often. His Agility and Dexterity stats are relatively high combined with a decent Strength-build. His Vitality, Luck and Sensibility are very lacking though. Has a high Hawk-Eye-skill(zooming in).

2

Appearance: half-long magenta hair, (lilac skin), turquoise eyes, black Plate Carrier with Level IV body armor, purple harem pants, armored fingerless gloves
Primary: AA-12, desert cameo, 32-round drum magazines
Secondary: Uzi .45 ACP
Tactics: She closes in with slugs and then changes to incendiary buckshot. Fire makes her smile. Her primary stats are VIT and SEN. This build is supported by a healthy dose of STR and LUK. She kinda neglected DEX and AGI. With that build she often goes in first and takes the role of tank. She also has a high Army Combative (grappling) skill.

3
Name: TheMozart
Gender: male
Appearance: long gray hair held back with a hair clip, "Caucasian" skin, tall and slender, small black goggles, brown scarf, beige trenchcoat
Primary: Explosives
Secondary: Calico M960, 50 round magazines
Tactics: He's a trapper. He'll build complex traps with several stages and can be considered the tactician of the group. After he's set the traps he'll play support and spotter for command33R. He's mainly built around STR and DEX while maintaining good SEN stats. He lacks in LUK, VIT and AGI. He has a good Weapon Creation skill.

4
Name: WolfeChild
Gender: female
Appearance: long black hair, tied back with bandana, purple eyes, black plate carrier with Level III+ Body Armor, black jeans, metal gorget, metal vambraces, gloves
Primary: FN F2000
Secondary: S&W 500
Tactics: She mostly plays "coop" with Honeymoon91 and MjölnirXOXO as the assault team. She has a STR/AGI priority-build with VIT support. SEN is also not bad. LUK and DEX are low. She's the highest level player of the group. She has a good Suggestion-skill.

5
Name: MjölnirXOXO
Gender: male
Appearance: short brunette hair, blue eyes, tuxedo(event drop)
Primary: AR-15 .50 Beowulf
Secondary: H&K MP7A1
Tactics: Goes in right behind Honeymoon91 and together with WolfeChild. He also uses his main gun to stop light vehicles. Has a similar build to WolfeChild with a little more focus on STR and DEX(instead of SEN). His priority skill is Army Combative though he uses it rather rarely.

6
Name: NutellaJunky
Gender: male
Appearance: semi-long blue hair, violet eyes, keflar vest, shirt, jeans
Primary: AAC Honey Badger PDW, subsonic ammunition
Secondary: Kagemitsu G4
Tactics: He and CredoAltair build the tertiary line of attack. They go in behind MjölnirXOXO and WolfeChild or, if the space allows it, come in behind the enemy lines to decimate them there. They have a high AGI/VIT-build with SEN support. DEX, STR and LUK are low. High Acrobatic Skill.

7
Name: CredoAltair (New in the group)
Appearance: short blonde hair, green eyes, long black coat with red hood, red trousers, mini chest armor level IIIA
Primary: Magpul PDR (created by TheMozart), silenced
Secondary: Estoc (similar to Sterben)
Tactics: see above

The overall tactics of the group can be described as "Stick together". Sometimes, though, they stay to tight together.

Well, then, that's that.

Bye!
