#ask the rpg 3

[mel-loly]

does axel have any specific weapons he normally carries or does he just focus on hand-to-hand combat?

Hey Crim!!! Hry?? Also-

YES! Well, RPG!Axel really likes to use daggers, for example the ones on his belt (I know they don't look like them, but they are daggers 😅), and one in particular that he keeps hidden:

If you got the reference about the name and description, tell me in the comments! (hint: it is inspired by a horror story about Edgar Allan Poe that I simply love passionately!!!)

Oh, and this is the only dagger whose power, in addition to being able to function normally, works stronger, the blows are very strong, agile and assertive, it doesn't miss a single blow :]

He sometimes uses and carries axes and sickles, but he really focuses on daggers and other small weapons. His melee style still wins in strength but daggers also help sometimes ^^

Thank you so much for the ask!!!!!💕

So Rose weapons are made of wood how does that work? What would a Rose think of metal and metal weapons, also it would be interesting for Blue Rose to have a metal knife.

yea! Roses can create weapons made of magical wood! The strength and stability of the wood HEAVILY depends on the type of color you are (or the individual's magic skills) and it's normal for weapons to break in the middle of combat. The Roses have complicated feelings about metal, but it can be summed up as "too heavy to wear and too valuable to be wasted on weapons". Some Roses might wear a metal chestplate to protect their heartwood (like Mort and Morgan) but it's very rare to do anything more than that. Hehehehe Lapis is one of the few with a metal sword! And she's the only one with full-metal armor. The Roses think she's insane for weighing herself down so much, but since she's the only one with a weapon capable of cutting through a Black Rose's wood, they also think it's hella impressive

HOT DAMN

Girl, you're a fine seamstress if that's your first time!

But you look even better without it ; )

Thank you, stranger? I am indeed a novice when it comes to textiles, and I haven't had much time to learn; My main hobby is garden-

Wait.

FUCK MY NEST

[Sigh.omf]

Well, I'll have much more time now that I no longer have any blackberries... if I look better without my clothes then I still need to practice, the intent is to look good after all...

Oh. I see. Thank you for the compliment, alas, I had no hand in my chassi's design. The flirting is... appreciated? I'm not certain my beloved 〔 @no-future-mudwasps 〕 would approve, though. I'll ask her at some point?

[cali-kabi]

[wildlocks]

oh im just emo about how much i love games and ocs and how happy i am to have been exposed to this hobby bc i really would have completely missed it if things had gone just a little differently. and it was a late discovery for me but also feels like the missing puzzle piece in so many ways, the culmination of all the things i always loved. ttrpgs especially. and sometimes it just makes my heart squeeze how exciting it is to have all this time ahead of me to keep exploring.

BIG thank YOU ALL!!!

Do you guys have any info about what exactly Future-Tec is? I remember seeing some stuff in the 76 Atomic shop about it, but I can't really find any good info on what it is and what role it plays in the lore.

Heyo, thanks for the ask! I'm happy to answer anything I can!

So first, let's establish every game or publication Future-Tec is mentioned in (to my knowledge). Future-Tec is mentioned in the Vault Dweller's Survival Guide (Fallout's manual), Fallout 76 and lastly, Fallout: The Roleplaying Game!

In the Vault Dweller's Survival Guide, Future-Tec is stated to be a division of Vault-Tec, and presents an advertisement for the Garden of Eden Creation Kit (mind you, this is before the GECK was in a game too).

In Fallout 76, several Future-Tec Atomic Shop C.A.M.P. items appear, all with unique descriptions. The description for the Future-Tec Week Flag states the following:

Future-Tec was once a secret branch of Vault-tec tasked with investigating top-secret and alien technologies. Fly their flag in your C.A.M.P. with the Future-Tec Week Flag.

Additionally, the terminal entries for Vault 51 show that ZAX 1.3c copied Dr. Stanislaus Braun's writing and speaking style, in order to obtain a Hellfire Prototype Power Armor unit. The entry reveals that Braun was the department head of Future-Tec!

//SEARCHING: Hellfire Prototype Power Armor //SEARCHING: Future-Tec //SEARCHING: Department head //SEARCHING: Dr. Stanislaus Braun //ANALYZING: Dr. Stanislaus Braun published research and speaking history //COPYING: Dr. Stanislaus Braun writing & speaking style ........ Success; Probability of direct match 99.6% //SENDING: Hellfire Prototype Power Armor Requisition Request ........ Success; message delivered.

In Fallout 3, we also learn that Braun is the creator of the GECK!

Lastly, in Fallout: The Roleplaying Game, we get this short blurb about the GECK:

Devised by Vault-Tec’s Future-Tec division, this terraforming device uses matter recombination technology to transform irradiated or otherwise polluted earth into fertile soil. It also included force-field schematics and 3D printing arrays to make everything from buildings to clothing from the raw materials of the earth.

Now that we have our sources put together, let's piece together all that we know about Future-Tec, as a division of Vault-Tec.

Future-Tec was a division of Vault-Tec, headed by Dr. Stanislaus Braun. Described as a secret branch of the company, the division was responsible for investigating "top-secret and alien technologies." The Garden of Eden Creation Kit was devised by the department, with Dr. Braun being responsible for developing the device itself.

Hope this helps! Of course, sometimes I do miss a source or two, but I'm confident that that is all the info we have on Future-Tec. This was a nice little writing exercise, so I'd love to answer any more asks people have! :D

With this post, all info I've stated has been added to our Future-Tec page, which you can check out here:

The only thing I know about Of Stars And Time is what I learned from glancing at your posts while reading Spider-Man in Gotham City fanfiction, and all I have gleaned from that is Loop is a scrumbly little fellow and Eating Sea Slugs Is Probably Not Okay But It’s Fine and now I am invested in wtf is going on over here

Loop canonically 1. IS a scrumbly little fellow and 2. ATE that sea slug

I know I study psychology and all that stuff about vicious cycles but I still don't get it how can someone put themselves in a toxic relationship, with evidence of how toxic it is, with people saying how bad it seems, and it's all for a shitty boyfriend? That treats you bad?

[gorgonfuckerdotnet]

How's the wife? /gen

// Sierra? Oh, she's an angel. // Had a little hiccup when she got unrestricted access to the omninet for a few hours. // That itself wasn't the hiccup, I put her on there // Testing her resilience in the face of extremely addictive stimuli // The hiccup came when I had to tear her away from such a limitless source of... "knowledge" // If she wasn't an Enlightenment-Class, I have no doubt she would have cascaded and become a very big problem for the planet we've spent the last few months on // Other than that little bout of trouble in paradise, it's been perfect.

// Not my wife, but my Gorgon, however, is a different story. // I forgot the subjective 9-month anniversary of me acquiring her, and now SCYLLA refuses to speak to me // And refuses to let me back into the Gorgon itself // Not exactly ideal for a Lancer

Hi Mel! How are you doing today?

I wanted to ask about RPG!Axel, it seems like he has some pretty big scars on his stomach, and those scars aren't on the main universe's Axel. What caused them?

Also, sorry to put two questions under one ask, but what are some differences between the main universe's Axel and RPG!Axel that you like? Mainly about their designs, though if you want to talk about other stuff feel free to :]

Oh! HIII PULIM!!!! SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU HERE!!! And I'm doing well, not so much, but at least I'm moving forward! Also, I missed so much you buddy! :3

SO..... About the scars he has on his stomach, well, I don't know if I can consider that "canon" in his RPG version (because I always change my mind) but.... There was a time when RPG!Axel and his clan were having a war against the angels, and... Well.. To explain better (and also for you to draw your own conclusions), I'll tell you a bit about how it happened! [↓]

“It’s too much for me, but I don’t want to admit it”

Axel staggered.

The golden wings had torn through the sides of his stomach once again, right where an old wound already throbbed.

The pain was unbearable. But more than that… it was disrespectful.. A slap in the face, a pure insult from the seraphim...

And Axel wasn’t going to let it slide..

—You son of a bitch… –he muttered, breath short and voice trembling, pain blooming like fire in his gut.– They say we're ungrateful, rude, the worst of the worst... But you, calling yourselves “angels,” “seraphim,” “gods”, you’re so much less fair than us when it comes to battle!

—We’re not unfair. We only give the punishment that’s necessary...

—I DON’T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT PUNISHMENT, YOUR SHIT! –Axel roared, fury rising above pain.– IF YOU WANT “PEACE” SO BADLY, GO LOOK FOR IT SOMEWHERE ELSE! THIS IS OUR LAND! NOT YOURS!

—This land doesn’t belong to you. It doesn’t belong to us either. –the seraphim answered, voice unshaken.– No clan, no group, no being rules over this place. You think you do... but you don’t.. No one does!

Axel laughed, but it came out broken.. More of a cough than a chuckle... His knees shook.

—My god... how can you all be so… so damn stupid….?

His voice cracked into a fit of coughing.. Blood... Warm and sharp in his mouth..

He stared down at his hand, stained dark red... The dizziness crept in like a fog.

—Might be a good idea to back down now. –the seraphim said quietly.– Or you’ll die here.

—Die...? — Axel whispered, his voice was quiet now.. He was too tired for rage...

He looked up and the seraphim was standing right in front of him..

So close...

Close enough for Axel to truly see him for the first time. That face... Those eyes.. The strange, quiet beauty. Something about him… pulled at Axel’s attention.

He smirked weakly, sarcastic despite everything.

—Before you try to kill me... mind answering a question?

—Let me guess –the seraphim said with a calm smile.– It’s about my blue eyes?

—....Yes..? –Axel blinked, honestly surprised.

—They’re blue because I’m not an ordinary god. –The seraphim’s wings unfolded, surrounding them like a golden veil.– I’m the Seraphim God of the Moon.

A soft light flickered through Axel’s hair. Something stirred in him, a shift, a vision. And then... he saw them...

Those eyes......

Truly saw them... Deep, bright, impossibly beautiful.....

—You’re one of the strongest... –he murmured.– Why haven’t you killed me yet..?

—I don’t kill people, Axel.. Unlike you, I think about consequences.

Axel didn't even pay attention to his name being said (without even the seraph knowing him), he just tried to laugh again, but blood came instead.. He coughed hard, barely able to stand. (He was very tired, he had already fought a lot that day and all week..)

—Shit...!

—I can heal you –the seraphim offered gently.

—NO! –Axel snapped, stepping back, panting.– I don’t trust “things” like you! So don’t you dare talk to me about healing, idiot...

—You’re barely breathing.. You’re losing too much blood... You really want to keep going like this..? –His eyes stayed calm... Steady..– I just want to heal you... Nothing more..

—I... I can take it..... –Axel gritted his teeth, coughing again.– Damn it...!

Desperate not to collapse in front of the enemy, he tried to bargain.

—Look... I won’t let myself be humiliated in front of my clan.. So just give me one more mark and......

He didn’t even finish the sentence and two more cuts slashed across the same place. The pain was unbearable.

Axel screamed.

Blood poured from his body like a waterfall.. His clothes soaked... He couldn’t breathe, couldn’t move, couldn’t even cough anymore.. His vision blurred, darkness pressed in...

But still, he didn’t fall.

The seraphim stared at him, silent... and strangely impressed..

(“This man... he’s unbelievably strong.”)

That level of willpower.. it wasn’t just rare. It was remarkable.

The seraphim let out a slow breath.

—I’m sorry.. But you... you fascinate me.. I can’t kill you...

—...What....? –Axel tried to say something.

But then arms wrapped around him. And light. A strange kind of pain began to burn in his chest, not destructive, but healing.. It felt like his insides were being rebuilt...

But even that was too much, his body gave out.. He collapsed...

Unconscious.. In the arms of the very being meant to end him... In the arms of one of the strongest seraphim that ever walked this earth..

And well, I'll stop here BUT If you want me to continue with this lore, please tell me!!! I'd would love to tell you the rest and everything!! (also, I really tried HARD to do this here😭 and with the help of a writing teacher of mine, I'm now improving in stories and writing!!! that's why I tried to do my best here, just like I try to do my best in the notebook :])

ALSO- I REALLY like this version of him precisely because he is a little bit “contrary” to canon Axel. Like his design for example, the height of canon Axel is 168 cm, while this version is 183 cm, and this is very funny because it involves a desire of mine since 2020/2021, like: I'm short (really, in this case, not so much, but I consider short), and over the years I've developed a desire to be taller. Axel is short because of me, and in this version he is (more or less) tall because it is my wish, just like Mel-Loly is my “dream self”!

And not only that, his eyes are also swapped with David's, whose design I haven't shown (YET) but which has the same color as canon Axel's eyes.

His ability is also swapped, while canon Axel's is fully controllable (only when he truly transforms does he kind of lose control, but normally it works fine), the RPG!Axel is totally uncontrollable and contrary to a magic that “would help more than it would hinder”!

In addition to his personality also being a little different, canon Axel is not aggressive, just “closed off/in his own”, he doesn’t have the tone of hurting/confronting anyone with rudeness like RPG!Axel has, just with “EQUALITY”.

And yeah, several things that show RPG!Axel being the opposite of canon Axel make me find it funny and kind of like him too, even because canon Axel is ONE of my favorite characters/ocs (of mine), that's why I chose him for this version! :]

THANK YOU SO AND SO MUCH FOR THE ASK, PULIM!!!!!! You are the best, really!!!!🥺💕 Also, hope I've answered your question and, if you/anyone want to send me more questions about RPG!Axel or any of my OCs, please feel free!! :D

[Tuning in] [Flipping to A-Side] [Success] [Now Playing - "Opossum"]

<The transmission begins with several seconds of natural ambiance. Leaves are rustling, every few minutes a bird chirps, and it sounds as if there is a light rain falling onto metal. Finally a sigh is heard, and "Opossum" begins to speak.>

I don't know where to begin. I was prepared to debrief the whole "Witch Hunt" debacle to you all, but now I find myself trapped in...my mech? I guess we're starting there. At the end of my most recent transmission, my GMS Everest which was formally named "Marsupial Mayhem" suddenly powered on and began tearing up our camp. There were two oddities about this action, ignoring the fact that there was most definitely no pilot inside and it isn't equipped with any NHPs. The first was that it had seemed M.M. had shed, then melted down and reformed it's outer "shell" into a new form. The center of M.M's chassis was an old TKG mining frame, and it seems that it's new form took that to heart given it's chosen to create digging claws for itself from the remains of M.M. After running diagnostics all day, "Puppydog" said it seems to closely resemble the HORUS Kobold pattern-group. Given that fact, everyone's been extremely cautious handing it after our run-in with that Lich. The second oddity was it's behavior, when tearing up the camp it actively avoided harming anyone. Even when my squad opened fire on the thing, it didn't pay us any mind. It was searching for something. Searching for me. Ironically, I was the only one injured in the whole debacle. The frame knocked down a nearby tree when escaping our "hangar" if it can even be called that, and then it came down on my tent. I'd love to say I blacked out from pain or my wounds, but instead I was stuck simply playing Opossum. I'm told that when the Kobold placed me into the cockpit, it immediately encased itself in a mound of slag. My squadmates began digging me out right away, but they only had simple digging equipment like handheld plasma-torches and circular saws, so I was trapped in there for the better part of the day. When I finally came to they had just reached the chassis and began to work away at the entry port. The slag was much harder there, and since the mech is now deactivated, they left me in here to plan our next course of action. I encouraged them to do this of course, but I can't help but feel a little claustrophobic in here. Anyways, I think this is a perfect time for you all to ask me questions since who knows how long I'll be stuck. Honestly, I could use a pen-pal right now...

Do mack's wings work like meta knights, where they're a cape when he isnt using them?

I had an idea at the beginning but I’m not sure where I ended up with this 😅… short answer I think they would be more involved. But I love meta knight and I learned how to draw wings by drawing him!

This is [REDACTED], the god of my ocs verse

Ask them anything!! Here is some basic info on them!!

They are genderless and use any pronouns, but mainly use they/them for simplicity

They have no name, as it has been lost to time. Their followers refer to them as thing such as 'the light', 'the holy one' ect ect. In history records their name has been scratched out

>2000 years old, no one really knows for certain

Yeah so um.. ask them something pretty pleasee!!
