IC HOT OR NOT
(get in here newbies you're invited too)
Through some miraculous meme happening, characters in the game will have 1-5 photos of themselves uploaded onto some imageboard type gallery. Even you, serious characters who wouldn't usually involve themselves with these kinds of shenanigans. Especially you.

1. Post your character, give a pic or two! Don't post anything too spicy (a.k.a. don't be nsfw, guys, that's for the game proper)
2. Character rate each other from 1 (not) to 10 (hot). Feel free to add additional commentary, this is a texting app, after all!
3. React ICly! Flirt, tease, or shit talk. It's all good.
4. If you're uncomfortable with "hot or not", you can substitute it to "cute or not". Nice or not? Maybe???
5. Have mercy on people with slow connections and make your photo embeds a reasonable size! Use the code below to link photos, and change the width number accordingly if your pic is a bit small (or still too big) at that size. There's also codes for uniform image sets here!

That's interesting. Any practical reason behind it, besides design? How'd the wings win out over a jetpack or boots or something?

[the wings are damn good, he's not knocking them. he's just used to rocket jumping long distances and praying you don't die on landing.]

We found they maneuver better in tight spaces and the hard light blades can change in size to accommodate various loads. My own weight is one thing, but I'm often in warzones evacuating buildings and trying to get people out of the line of fire as quickly as possible.

( It's fine to knock them too she won't be mad!! She can't rocket jump with injured people in her arms tho Dell come on. )

[look, Soldier came to him with a lot of broken legs.]

That's smart. How's hard light function?

Or is that a whole other topic?

[dell this is technically a dating app]

( Yes she would like to avoid that if at all possible. )

Ahh, it's a bit complicated without the proper diagrams... Essentially it's just applying the proper frequences to encourage the light particles to behave a particular way together and they solidify, to keep it simple.

It is a very handy source for ammunition and other applications such as engineering previews and very temporary structures. Its true potential is still being discovered every day.

[Soldier loses limbs all the time anyway, he's fine.]

Well knock me down and steal my teeth. You're saying it actually solidifies light?

I gotta get in on this. Goddamn.

[if this were in person you'd practically see the gears spinning in his head, because this is fucking amazing to him.]

It does! It was quite the breakthrough some decades back, but it wasn't able to be used until about 20, 30 years back? And applied successfully on a large enough scale to be worth experimenting with.

I hope you like messing with quantum forces. ♥

( She can perfectly picture it! She loves the chance to talk shop with someone for a change. )

SOME decades, huh? Reckon you're pretty far ahead of 1972 too. I'm gonna start feeling out of touch.

[He's kidding don't ever tell him he's out of touch but he's definitely realized he's not in the seventies anymore.]

Wouldn't be the first time. My next project's teleporters. I've done it easy enough from home, but wrangling the science behind it here compared to Earth takes a minute.

Don't hurt to make upgrades, either.
