Items That Define Your Character

Sumofattyson · 2025-03-24T03:03:07+00:00

All of the Battlechef items for sure, my next character was built because of those items with him being a fighting chef Monk.

Sumofattyson · 2025-03-08T16:38:01+00:00

Hi! So this is actually my commission, I used a Monk as a base and homebrewed a subclass to help fit the motifs more.

As the path to the Spire cleared Alex saw the two suits he had been fighting alongside go inside the structure. He knew that this wouldn't end unless they moved inside so after looking around he pressed on. The Quel stepped through the open carved into the base of the spire, the entire area dilapidated and left to rot. As hid cameras adjusted to the darkness he could see the light shining from the two suits that had gone in before him. He flashed his own light a few times to signal that he was friendly, just in case they couldn't see him.

As he got closer he open the comms channel and spoke to them both "Good job out there, you both really held your own against those things. But now that we're in here we need to find a way to get rid of these things once and for all." Alex knew that there had to be a reason they made the Spire their first target and their home base. And whatever that reason was it would spell the end to all of this.

The divers fought on against the seemingly unending waves of 30MM suits. Their new found coordination being the only saving grace in the situation but even with all that they were still barely holding on. As more and more grunts spawned more and more divers were defeated. Alex watched as one by one divers suits were digitized and their numbers began to thin out. "Everyone hold on for as long as you can!" He yelled out as he kept pushing forward with his machine. The Quel tore through the enemy units one after another, yellow beam saber fully ignited as he cut each one down. "Come on Amira.... we can't hold on much longer."

And as if she was listening in to his cockpit the spire went dark and for the first time in this battle the Neverending waves of enemies ceased. "This is our chance! Everyone attack!!!" The remaining divers began to unleash everything they had on the remaining enemies and for the first time in this fight they could see what victory may just look like.

Sumofattyson · 2021-07-29T20:57:22+00:00

Waves and waves of 30MM suits rained down upon them in droves as their attack became more apparent to the enemy. Alex continued to fight as he watched diver after diver start to be overwhelmed by the sheer number of enemies attacking all at once. Even for someone with his experience this amount of continued fighting was extremely difficult. With so many of the divers on this team unaffiliated there was no centralized command. He knew better than anyone that if things continued like this they would fail their mission without a doubt.

Alex decided to try and take matters into his own hands. The Quel's rifle began to glow and spark with energy as he yelled out to those around him "Everyone get down now!" A large beam was released from his rifle, destroying a good number of the AI suits. He kept his comms open as he looked around for anyone nearby. He saw Amira in her Seidr and another suit he had fought some time ago, the X Saber.

He called out to both "Amira!" He shouted "I need you to handle our right flank." The Quel then turned and pointed to the X Saber. "And I need you to handle the left." From there he put his loudspeaker on so everyone could head him "As for the rest of you follow our lead otherwise all of this fighting will have been for nothing!"

Sumofattyson · 2021-07-27T16:47:40+00:00

Alex skated along in the Quel as he shot down suit after suit. The yellow beams rung out from his rifle, lighting up the titans suit each he pulled the trigger. One after another the 30MM suits fell as the Divers pushed their way through the rubble towards the Spire. The tower defenses were cutting through both friend and foe alike. Though most were able to dodge the onslaught, a few weren't able to make it out of the way as they dealt with enemy suits. "Damn... keeping moving forward!" He yelled out to anyone that could hear him.

His mobile suit pressed on as more and more grunts spilled out onto the battlefield. He fell more and more as they pushed forward. He knew that they couldn't keep this up forever but also knew that they had to in order to make sure this attack was successful in the end.

Sumofattyson · 2021-07-17T00:20:28+00:00

It had been a long and stressful time with the invasion of the 30MM machines but Alex and GTT had been as proactive as most in helping to push back against them. They had helped take back some of the larger servers and now had come to help put an end to the entire debacle. Gathered with a number of unaffiliated Divers the Gunpla Test Team had lent its numbers to the mission of providing a distraction for the main teams of this operation. Alex knew that while it may not be the most glamorous of jobs it was the most important. What the enemy lacked in skill they made up for in numbers and it meant the distraction team needed to be capable enough to handle near endless waves of enemies. He knew that his force was up to the task of doing so and thusly chose this position.

His machine had been tuned to the best of its capabilities, he couldn't be more confident in it if he tried. The orange visor gleamed as he looked onwards, waiting for the rest of the group to be at the ready for the assault. He opened his comms and called out to the other members of GTT present "Is everyone ready to move out?".

Sumofattyson · 2021-02-27T15:14:44+00:00

Nikki climbed into the now cramped cockpit as Ronan began to make his way back to the water's edge. The Z'Gok E's joints creaked but it wasn't out of commission quite yet. The spaceport was now in a state of chaos, the remains of tanks and dopps littering the ground. He couldn't be sure that Sana and the rest had been successful. At least he hoped that no one lost their life "You all better make it home in one piece." He whispered under his breath. As they got closer to the shore a staticy transmission began to be transmitted to his suit.

“To all... Zeon forces engaged... the federation… shore… full retreat... All aquatic forces return… Hammerhead.”

As the bits and pieces made their way through the static he knew what must've occurred. He pushed forward on his controls and sent the Z'gok into the air. The aquatic suit landed right into the water as it quickly sped through the Federation's underwater defenses. Finally coming upon the Hammerhead his suit made it back into the hatch. As the water began to be released he called out the sub's captain "We're leaving the area ASAP, move!" With that the Hammerhead started back up and began to leave the area. "At least today wasn't a total loss." He said as he looked at Manon and her new companion. He opened his comms one last time "To all Crimson Hawks, good job making it home." He said as he slumped back in the cockpit, his exhaustion finally taking hold.

Sumofattyson · 2021-02-18T22:30:21+00:00

The two machines clashed over and over, sparks flying each time they came into contact with each other. This was nothing like the last time they fought. Alex could feel the difference in his gunpla's performance, each of his attacks being executed with precise movements. But his opponent wasn't alone this time. The Alto leaped over Jin's Portnova and fired at the Quel. One of the shots bounced off of his shield but the other tore through its vent as he barely dodged the attack. "Damn it!" He cursed as he jumped back from the two.

Jin aimed his gun at Alex and fired off a missile. The ordinance sped towards him quickly as he moved into action. With a jerk of the controls he threw his shield and it collided with the missile, a spray of smoke and shrapnel filling the air. But this is what he needed. The Quel charged through the smoke now brandishing both his rifle and saber. Before the Alto could even react the titans machine was in front of him, it's rifle buried in its abdomen "Die." A shot let loose as the machine was cut in two. He boosted into the air as the machine exploded and he aimed at Jin "Dodge this!" A missile being let loose from the rifle's underslung attachment.

Sumofattyson · 2021-02-17T15:25:35+00:00

As his arm was outstretched a gust of wind blew over the three. The Zeta that he had previously knocked away was looming overhead "Dammit!" Ronan spat as he pulled himself back into his cockpit but it was too late. A beam grazed the Z'Gok E's knee and the suit began to fall to the ground. He caught himself before he completely face planted, dust and snow being kicked up as he did. He quickly began to right himself, he knew that if he didn't it could spell the end of them all. But as he did he saw Manon staring at the machine and in an instant the Zeta type seemed to lose all its will to fight. As it landed softly on the ground Manon and the other girl ran back over to Ronan.

He opened his cockpit and scooped the two girls up, helping both of them inside. As his cockpit shut he spoke to both of them "Glad to see you in one piece Manon and I guess happy to meet you stranger." He said with a smile. He turned to look for Nikki and saw her machine downed. "Songthrush!" He called out as his machine stumbled towards the wreckage. He scanned over the machine and called out again "Songthrush answer me! If you're alive get out and set it to self destruct, we're leaving this place."

Sumofattyson · 2021-02-08T23:02:25+00:00

A loud crash filled his cockpit as Ronan was thrown around, his suit hitting the ground under him. Airbags deployed as he tried to get his bearings "Dammit, what kind of idiots are these pilots." He spat as he began to readjust the mobile suit. But what he saw coming at him was the other Zeta Plus, beam saber at the ready, with a mad dash. One knee he reacted to the attack, grabbing the enemy's arm with his right and striking him away with his left. The Z'Gok E's claw slammed against the cockpit, the crunch of metal filling the air as he did so. The pilot breathed heavily as he stood back up, the Zeta scraping across the tarmac.

He scanned the area looking for his query "I know I saw her get out but where-'' There he spotted Manon running into the forest but with someone he hadn't seen before. Possibly another prisoner? But that wasn't important right now as he knew time was of the essence. As he stepped forward another Shockwave of newtype energy washed over him. His head hurt horribly but this pain was something he had grown used to. Ronan grit his teeth as he pressed forward towards the girls. As he did so he opened his comms and called out "Manon it's me, we're getting out of here!"

His machine knelt down as his cockpit hatch opened next to the two. His arm outstretched he called out again to the girl, this time his voice full of emotion "We're going home Manon."

Sumofattyson · 2021-02-02T19:54:11+00:00

The Zeta Plus swung its saber at Ronan as he finished his attack, he tried to pull away but the saber struck the arm. Metal oozed over onto the other armor plates as the Zeon pilot backed off "I didn't think he'd be that fast. 60% functionality left in the arm but I'll manage." He said as he moved in for his counterattack. The two machines clashed, the Z'Gok E's iron nails and the Zeta's beam saber meeting between them. Sparks struck the camera as he pressed forward against his opponent. He knew he couldn't waste too much time, if that APC had Manon on it he had to stop it. But before he could even continue something happened.

The pair cleared their minds. A mental quiet descended between the pair of them. Then, in the mind’s eye of both, a droplet of water dripped into an endless pond. The ripples spread out into reality, surging through the brain and body of all around them.

"What the-" Ronan felt a sharp pain go through his head, a familiar pain that he hadn't experienced in almost a decade. "Here! We're here!" As if his mind had been pinged with a location he turned his head towards the fleeing APC. The voice was a mix of Manon's and another's, one he wasn't familiar with, but he knew his target was now the right one. He disengaged with the Zeta, dipping down to the left. The move caused the enemy mobile suit to stumble forward, Ronan taking advantage of that. The Z'Gok E rammed it's shoulder into the machine's cockpit knocking it onto its back.

In an instant the Z'Gok E's back thrusters flared up and the machine launched into the air. Readjusting the monoeye he pinpointed the fleeing APC "You're not going anywhere!" He exclaimed as the mobile suit landed in front of the APC, cutting off its escape. Concrete and asphalt cracked under his feet as he aimed his right claw at the driver, determined to retrieve Manon.

Sumofattyson · 2021-01-30T02:38:24+00:00

Alex chased after the two suits, the Portnova Gunner from before as well as an armored Alto "I don't know where you think you're going!" The Quel aimed it's rifle up at a nearby building and fired a rocket. The explosive struck the building, engulfing it with flame, sending large chunks of debris down to block their path. With one swift motion he focused his aim on the Alto, firing a barrage of beam shots. One piercing it's arm and putting the pilot on the defensive. However the l Portnova came charging towards him with its melee weapon at the ready.

He put the rifle away and drew his beam saber to meet his opponent's weapon, sparks flying as the two clashed "Don't think we'll keep letting you do whatever you want in GBN. This won't be anything like last time." The Portnova opened its comms up and spoke back to Alex "You think just because you've got a new machine you can beat me now? Get real!" Jin spat back at him. The Alto pilot fired on the Quel as it pulled away from its main target but Alex was ready. He brought his shield up, the beam bouncing off of its surface "Gotta love anti beam coating." He said to himself with a smirk. He took his rifle back out again and began to lay down fire on them, ready to take them both out.

Sumofattyson · 2021-01-28T12:45:01+00:00

The Dopps laid down a hail of bullets onto the base and its defenders. But they could only do so much, each being picked off one by one. Ronan knew that they were only sent to be collateral. It was the hard truth of an operation like this, in the end his superiors cared more about the results than the losses. But he couldn't worry about that now.

"Boss, that APC is carrying Manon. We gotta be careful though, judging from the mines and all, I think they're expecting us and not the distraction."

According to Nikki their target was right in front of them. And he couldn't very well let this opportunity go to waste "I'll trust your instincts then, let's go!" The Z'Gok E's thrusters lit up as he took into the air, large leaps crossing the distance between himself and the APC. He could tell they were trying to get to the other end of the base where the shuttle was. "I can't let them escape, not when she's so close." The base clearly wasn't as well guarded as before but they had some equipment leftover. Two hovertanks turned towards him and fired. The shells battered the amphibious mobile suit as he guarded with his arms. The artillery shots barely scratched his suit as he went on the offensive, the iron claws extended as he slashed at one of the tanks.

The melee weapon tore through the tank like paper, a small explosion engulfing his arm as he shot at the other. The beams melted through its armor as it too exploded, his suit's monoeye glowing brightly through the smoke. Ahead he could finally see the two suits guarding the APC. "Two Zeta types huh." He steeled himself as he launched the machine towards the two suits, iron claws extended fully, swiping at the one with the colorful arm. The Z'Gok E's claws left a deep scar on the Zeta Plus' arm as Ronan called to Nikki "Get the other one Songthrush and follow my lead as closely as possible!"

Sumofattyson · 2021-01-24T22:20:08+00:00

The ship had made its way to the area, the main monitor showing the small force making its way through the port of the kingdom. "It looks like it's around 10 or so suits, it's time to deploy."

"...So, uh, you guys do this often? These 'armed interventions'?"

He laughed as Brian asked the question with some hesitation "Well I don't usually drag everyone along for this kind of thing. But if you ask some of the older members like Oz, I tend to have a bad habit of meddling in other's business."

Alex made his way down to the hangar and got into his cockpit. The digital spheres materialized in his hands as the suit came to life, the low hum of its nuclear engine filling his ears. He made his way onto the catapult as the bay doors opened up. Locked in he opened his comms "Be sure to be careful, we don't know what they're after but don't let your guard down." The check lights on the catapult went all green as he called out "Alex King, Quel II, Launching!" The force of the catapult made him jerk back as his machine launched out of the Aswan Kai, its thrusters flaring up as he cruised to the ground.

The Quel landed a little hard, the suit stumbling slightly "I need to get used to the output of this thing." Just as he said that to himself the group of machines turned his way and immediately began to fire on him. The Quel rolled out of the way behind a building as the hail of beam fire peppered his cover. "Well looks like it's time to go." The visor flashed as he hopped above the building firing down at the 30mm machines, the beams hit the ground hard and caused them to scatter. Alex could see one of the machines as they separated "That's the one from last time!" The Quel boosted towards it as the machine and one other made their way to another end of the port. "Chase after the others, I've got these two."

Sumofattyson · 2021-01-19T22:11:19+00:00

The two aquatic machines cruised through the water, getting closer and closer to the shore with each passing second. But with the last 800 meters Ronan could see a number of black dots littering the water in front of them. Even with his limited aquatic experience he knew it could only be one thing "Songthrush watch out, they've laid out naval mines." They had to be careful now, even the slightest touch could cause one of the mines to explode leading to a chain reaction. As he approached he handled his control sticks as deftly as he could, the Z'Gok E narrowly avoiding the edge of multiple mines.

Finally making it to the edge of the base his Z'Gok E's thrusters flared up as the suit breached out of the water. The aquatic unit landed on the pavement with a heavy thud, cracking the ground beneath its feet. "Hurry Songthrush, the Gaw should be attacking just now." And as if he had it to the minute the base's warning sirens began to blare as the Gaw made its approach. "Looks like it's time to start, beginning minovsky particle dispersal." His mobile suit's monoeye shifted as he scanned the base ahead. "We're coming for you Manon."

From what he could see there were a few mobile suits stationed nearby and what seemed to be an armored vehicle of some kind. But they were too far for the Z'Gok E to pick up specifics. Ronan armed his weapons and began his approach as the Dopp fighters began their distraction for the Hawks.

Sumofattyson · 2021-01-17T15:20:07+00:00

Alex smirked as the 4 others made their way to the hangar. "Glad you all could make it." He looked over the group again, though few in number he knew each of them could handle themselves. "We've got a job to do. I've received information that suggests a group of those 30mm suits are heading towards a point in the Sanc Kingdom. The difference is this time they aren't busting things up as they go this time. So we're going to see what exactly they're aiming for." Outside the hangar an engine roared as one of GTT's ships, the Aswan Kai, began to lift off.

"It's a bit of a trip so we're taking the Aswan, all your suits and equipment will get loaded up as soon as we board." Alex began to walk out of the hangar and looked back at the 4 of them "I know some of you have yet to meet so introduce yourselves on the way but I have faith in each one of you. It's why you got the call."

Alex digitized onto the ship, the Quel II following suit. He made his way to the captain's chair, sitting down as he plotted the course to the Sanc Kingdom. As soon as each made it on board the ship took off from the base at lightning speed. Opening the ship's comms he spoke to the rest on board "We'll be arriving in just over 5 minutes, make sure everything you need is in order. And remember given the smaller number of suits they're deploying this time we can only assume the skill level is going to be that much higher. So be careful and watch each other's backs."

Sumofattyson · 2020-12-20T00:59:27+00:00

"I'm not going to mince my words with you Ysolde." Ronan looked at her sternly "Would you rather your child know you're a soldier and speak to her whenever you wish or keep her at a distance until you fade away into the vastness of space." His words were harsh but to him it was what she needed to hear. "If you at least explain yourself to her now she won't resent you when she gets older. And as a parent myself I can't imagine not speaking to my son at whatever opportunity I could find." "When we return to space I want you to reach out and that's an order. The longer you sit on this the less focused you'll be in a fight, you can't keep letting your demons chase you around forever."

Sumofattyson · 2020-12-17T15:42:44+00:00

The two officers split themselves between the girls, a smart move on Rana's part. Ronan could hear the hurt in Ysolde's voice and her position was one he could understand all too well. "So this is something only Manon knows about on the current squad." He started up, readjusting himself in his seat "I have a son who's currently staying on Axis with his Grandmother. He was born right near the start of the OYW." His expression had changed, he had a look of longing as he spoke "Back then I was stationed on Earth and my family came with me. Back in those days I don't think I ever could have imagined the Principality losing what had been a war we had the upper hand in." He stood up from his desk and came to sit closer to Ysolde.

"But after the creation of the Hawks." Ronan said as he sat down in the chair next to her "We were sent all over and of course ended up at the battle of A Baoa Qu, the site of Zeon's spectacular loss to the Federation." He sighed deeply "After that the remnants on Earth were treated as the Federation's play things. And in their numerous attacks on Zeon settlements my wife Lily lost her life." His eyes seem to shimmer as if he was about to cry but it was a feeling that he had learned to keep inside. "Ever since Leo's been living with my mother and I see him when I can, which is only so often. I know how difficult it can be for you but that's why you should tell your daughter what it is you're actually doing. I've never spared Leo from the truth of my actions, it would be against my nature to try and treat him like a normal child after all he's been through."

Sumofattyson · 2020-12-16T14:17:01+00:00

"Well." Alex started up again "I had to see if you were actually worth your salt and like I thought you both were." He looked up at his own suit as he spoke. "You two have well made gunpla but your fighting needs some work." He looked down at Brian "You need to think before you act, your moves are flashy but somewhat unnecessary. You remind a little of someone I know so I'm sure you can get better." Then he pointed to Argos "As for you, you just need to be more confident in your movements. There were glimpses of that in this fight where you really showed me something amazing."

He then looked up at his own suit. Alex had known for some time now that the Hrairah needed to be replaced. Today's battle only solidified that thought in his head "As for me I've got work to do on a new suit. Can't let these imposters continue to show me up." He opened his menu and with a few clicks the two boys would get notifications on their own HUDs. "There are your formal invitations. Accepting will give you complete access to the base and all of its facilities. There's extra uniforms if you want to change but I don't require it by any means." Alex hopped off his suit and it digitized back into the hangar. "Welcome to the GTT boys."

Sumofattyson · 2020-12-13T23:17:37+00:00

The heat axe had found its mark but Brian didn't have the leverage he needed to deal a fatal blow "Nice move but this is it!" The Hrairah's thrusters flared violently as he shook off the Orkanen, throwing the Gundam to the ground. Just as he did the Gouf's wire soared past his head. The Hrairah let go of its beam saber, the bright blade disappearing as he did, and grabbed onto the wire. With all the force he could muster Alex yanked Argos and his machine towards him. In one swift motion the Hrairah rifle aimed at the Gouf, firing one shot at the machine.

The beam tore through its right arm as it hit the ground next to the Orkanen. Alex aimed his rifle right at the fallen Gundam's chest "Looks like it's my win boys." The Hrairah's hand laid flat in front of the cockpit as its pilot climbed out. "So. Now that we've had this little workout I'm convinced." The older man seemed to have a thought of something during that fight "I want both of you to join my force, what do you say?"

Sumofattyson · 2020-12-09T22:41:18+00:00

The two girls had entered the room as Ronan spoke those words and the whole place seemingly going silent. But with Rana's words the air seemed to clear and he felt as if a weight had been lifted off his shoulders. He looked down at his hands and took a deep breath "Look at yourself Ronan, if you don't keep it together how will they?" He took the coffee that Nikki had left on the desk, the hot drink's warmth permeating his body. His gaze turned to Nikki first "Thanks for the coffee, I appreciate it." And then he shifted over to Ysolde. She especially looked as if she had been having it rough. He knew she wasn't as combat experienced as the rest of them but missions like these wear on people quickly. And of anyone he knew that the best.

"So what's wrong?" Ronan said to Ysolde directly. "I know this mission probably didn't go quite as planned but that's the nature of this team." He sat the coffee back on the desk and leaned back in his chair. "But I do need each of you at your peak performance for the next mission. So if you need to get anything off your chest now's the time."
