Current Bounties / Storyteller PSA

[Omni]

When you do something bounty-worthy, which is - use your common sense, did you assault a stormtrooper and let him run to tell his friends? Did you do something that would probably get you arrested in real-life? - you need to self-report in this thread. See the rules for full details.

If someone has pissed you off, you can put a bounty out for their head (separate prices for Death or Banishment if you like) on the Dataverse. Just make sure you pay up, or most likely you'll be on the board next ...

Bear in mind that you may make your own NPC bounties if you like, for the purposes of your own storylines. No need to get them added here, just write and roleplay the OM you get from posting as reward.

You can view the bounties from anywhere if you have a Dataverse terminal. However you are unable to immediately respond unless you are in the current verse. You can track down bounties in other verses with a Vita Compass.

You could use standard investigation skills, or tracking, to find individuals. Additionally, if you perform "jobs" for regional powers, or for information brokers, you might get somewhere there as well. Of course, this was will take much longer than having a Vita Compass.  For more detailed and nuanced guidelines, read - http://omniverse-rpg.com/fights.php#Initiating_Fights

If someone has more than one bounty, you may claim them all for one kill/capture/banishment, but you will only get the 250 banishment bonus once. Banishment should be an IC choice and we don't want to reward people for it.

Current bounties

(prices are based on 100 OM per level at the time of bounty placement, plus 250 for banishment)

While we have not heard from our intrepid scholars since, scouts report the android has obtained the star piece. Our attempts at arranging the safe return of the artefact have been refused by the vigilante. Its powers are largely unknown, but seem magical and transmutative in nature. Handle with extreme caution.

Handsome Jack: 300 OM dead/captured, 550 banished.
Murder of Civilians
Wanted, for crimes against his majesty King Aragorn in this the thirteenth year of Omni’s domain. The masked murderer known only as “handsome jack” has shot down in cold blood a family of farmers enroute from Harnburg. Last seen fleeing his majesty’s troops near the fountain of infinity, this prime seems to take pleasure in inflicting pain and suffering on others, and shows copius signs of mental instability. Approach with due caution.

Demetri Malius: 600 OM dead/captured, 850 banished.
Theft of Dalaran property (star piece)
Wanted, for crimes against his eminence, Professor Dumbledore in this, the thirteenth year of Omni’s domain. This thief has robbed Dalaran’s vaults and escaped with an item of grave importance.

Last seen falling into the Forest of Ferns. Keep your wits about you, he’s a slippery one!



MINOR FACTION BOUNTIES

N/A

[Storyteller]

PSA for the Storyteller Account

The aim of the Storyteller account is to bring the world of the Omniverse to life. This account is not used as a punishment, it's not used as a method of saying you did poorly or that we as the staff don't want you to do the things you are doing. There is going to be an inherent amount on conflict in these stories, and that's what makes them good.

So, you ask, why are characters dying? Well, the short answer to that question is because it's the situation they put themselves in. In the most obvious cases of this, primarily in Coruscant, the reason they are being killed is because they angered an almost omniscient governmental force that has perpetual surveillance on almost every aspect of every person's life. Fighting, law-breaking and otherwise making a scene on the top Tier, the pride of the Emperor, is probably a bad idea for most Primes because an OVER-EQUIPPED force of SERIOUS BADASSES will shortly come after you, mostly likely with the intent to kill you.

Is it impossible to fight these individuals? The short answer: No, it is NOT impossible to fight and win against these individuals. The long answer is that it will take a long time of intentional planning to overcome these individuals and their particular skillsets and abilities. You usually can't just roll up on one of these very powerful NPCs alone and expect to walk away (however, it IS possible that a powerful enough Prime could do so). Obviously there are NPCs of different strengths, and those strengths will be considered when altercations occur, but for the most part the Storyteller account will be in charge of the more powerful individuals in the Omniverse.

With that said, there are certain aspects of the Omniverse which are directly linked to measurable benchmarks, mainly being your STATS. If you do not have an ATK over 5, you cannot easily break through thick steel plates with a standard move. Your breath weapons cannot melt steel. If your TEC is not over 5, I would assume that you aren't going to dodge every hit fired by an elite marksman. If your DEF is under 4, when you get hit with standard bullets or blaster fire, it will do more than kind of sting. We set these benchmarks to avoid BUNNYING/GOD MODING. You cannot simply say that you walked up and killed one of the Omniverse's most powerful warriors, or the mod teams will be forced to alter or delete your posts and ask you to re-write them.

Please be aware that even though this is a writing site, it is not a site where you have carte blanche agency over what happens to other account's characters, including the Storyteller's. If you are unsure of what the appropriate reaction is to an attack or something, feel free to message the storyteller account and post a notice on the boards so we know to check our mail. Also please be sure that you have a firm understanding of how your Powers work before using them in any thread.

Well what is the appropriate response to a powerful NPC attacking me? Short answer: probably try to escape. Long answer: it depends on what you are trying to accomplish. If you want to have an awesome showdown with Judge Dredd, but know you probably aren't going to make it, let us know! If you want to break something of Dracula's before he pulls of one of your limbs and beats you to death with it, ok! Let's figure out what works for the site AND you. You CAN message the Storyteller account and try to figure out what we can do to collaborate on an ending. If you'd rather survive, you can also work with you on that! The individual contributors for each thread change a lot, so including the character you are addressing in the subject line will help us figure things out.

We're not just killing your characters for fun, we're killing them because they are making poor choices. YOU, as a writer, are not making bad choices, your CHARACTER is getting into some interesting conflicts because of the choices they have made. That's an important distinction.

The Storyteller account will NOT just be for attacks. In the future, the Storyteller account will be used to represent most, if not all, major NPCs in situations where the PC writers shouldn't have control over them. That means they can be allies, enemies, contributors or detractors. They are essentially here to make the site more alive and provide more of an "RPG" element.

Thanks, and see you in the Omniverse.

Tearen bounties removed as Tearen Wover's story has come to an IC end. For reference:

Tearen Wover: 400 OM dead or captured, 650 banished.
Mind-Assault of Empire Soldiers, Resisting Arrest
A shadow thing, that doesn't seem to be all that. It lurks, and gets inside your mind; has piercing green eyes and shambles around your thoughts, searching for information. Mind capabilities are strong. Other means of attack are unknown. Proceed with caution. Target last scene resisting arrest in the Vasty Deep.

Tearen Wover: 300 OM dead/Captured 550 banished
Assault and Murder of Camelot Soldiers
A seemingly organic shadow that moves slowly but is capable of mental feats including telepathy and telekinesis. It broke a soldier's neck by nearly twisting it right-on-off and then tossed another number of victims around like rag dolls. It did this after Scouts offered to help it. Sanity is in question. Engage with caution.

Tearen Wover: 400 OM Dead/Captured or 650 Banished. Bonus - Pending - Rapture, Vasty Deep
Murder of Big Daddy and Abduction of a Little Sister
This creature was responsible for the murder of a Big Daddy and the abduction of a Little Sister, along with causing severe damage to various offices in Rapture. Creature possesses mind-altering powers and should approached with extreme caution.

RIP everyone who was after that sweet OM including me in DA, RIP

[Oleander]

Going Down...

Not sure if bounty worthy, but while crime fighting, he accidentally had one guy blow up his two friends in an elevator with a hand cannon... Elevator prolly had a camera... dude might be traumatized for life.

[Omni]

I'd say that's up to you. You can say there was a camera if you want, but it was on tier 3 in an elevator. It's very feasible that he gets away with it.

If he wants, either way, he can turn himself in to the authorities and they'll probably be pretty lenient and get him to do the loyalty quest to work for the Empire. Primes tend to get these deals.

[Beta Ray Bill]

Going to drop this seeing as this would be very illegal Requiem of The Fallen Doom's basically burned down the entire building.

[Dane Regan]

13-Jzall, 200 OM dead or capture, 450 banished.
Assault of Imperial Soldiers
Wanted for the murder of a squad of stormtroopers on Tier 7.

I'd like to collect this bounty for killing 13-Jzall. Clownpiece and I have agreed that Dane gets the whole share (partly because he's basically dead, partly because he bet on CP in DA and CP lost).

[Handsome Jack]

Since the Orc Mafia isn't a Site NPC Faction (like The Kingdom, The Empire, The Town With No Name, etc), it's on you, the player, to supply to Bounty AND Reward. Or whoever owns the Orc Mafia. "Official" Bounties will only come from crossing one of the Site Factions.
