(no subject)

Wooaaoaoaoah you're getting a lot of newbies this round, Sing. Me included.

Anywho I'm Cube! I'll be your host this evening as we introduce Rex here to the wonderful world of Singularity. He's sort of a brat of a teenager and speaks almost entirely in quips so good luck getting a Deep And Serious conversation out of him! But, you know, he's a good kid at heart.

And he can also make big metal structures come out of his body! And he likes to punch monsters with them! So that's pretty cool too!

Details on him, his world, personality, and hella spoilers can be found on his app over here and I can be found on AIM at cubivorian!

So yes I am happy to be here. :D HELLO PEOPLE HOW ARE YOU.

Edit: OH I'M A RIDICULOUS PERSON I forgot to mention, I have a Plurk if anyone wants to add me? Not doing so is fine too. It's just another of the many ways I may be contacted. :Db

TL;DR away because I read.

So how does Rex use them / are they part of him? Does he scream out "nanite attack" or anything before, I dunno, blasting an aerosol can of them in someone's face?

What i'm asking is: how can Sonny tell tiny robots are afoot?

Actually, unlike many other shounen-style-cartoon heroes, Rex does not shout his attacks! He just transforms and goes.

But yes, nanites are wholly a a part of Rex. He doesn't attack with the nanites themselves, but with the machine constructs they allow him to build. So while the nanites are behind the giant metal fist he creates, the damage inflicted would be blunt force trauma as opposed to insidious nanite infection.

If Sonny has any kind of radar, he might pick up unusually mechanical readings from Rex. Rex's nanites are quite active and he can, on occasion, interact with them. Other machines can affect his nanites - in one episode, a computer programs them to not allow Rex to harm them. Then, in reverse, Rex's nanites allow him to affect machines. He can muck around in computers, or change a TV channel, or make soda machines give out free drinks. He doesn't abuse his powers, though.

And lastly, when Rex's powers malfunction, he'll sometimes say aloud something to the effect of "what's wrong with my nanites?" He casually refers to them, being quite comfortable with the idea of them.

With the limitations I've enforced on Rex in Singularity, twenty minutes of continuous use will cause his machines to break off. This could be him flying with his metal-engine wings, or him running with his boots, but any of those things would spur a "what's wrong with my nanites?" question.

And if Sonny happened to be around when he was musing to himself, or if they were already speaking and Rex tried to make machines but found himself unable, then he could definitely drop the word in particular.

It's a little ham-fisted, but it's certainly in-character for Rex!

I don't think Sonny has any special radar, but maybe he does. Probably not a microscopic one though.

But man, if Rex came off as aggressive or a threat [though right now all people shaped things are a threat to Sonny] and then dropped the N-bomb while Sonny was around.

My goodness. Sonny would hit him with a chair or throw a truck at him.

What I'm saying is we should do this.

And you know what makes this all even better?

Despite having high technology nanites running around, Rex's only encounters with AI and humanoid robots in the past was with a villain. So Rex's first instinct on seeing Sonny is probably going to be ATTACK. Punch first, questions later, that sort of thing.

But I could time it just right so that his machines fall apart before he can actually hit Sonny. And then, the N-bomb. :D

THIS IS GOING TO BE BEAUTIFUL

OH GOOD. THIS IS SHAPING UP SO NICELY.

I love Rex's punch first mentality.

Do you have a violence tolerance / what is Sonny NOT allowed to do to your character?

Also, did you want to tangle with Sonny while he's brokenish and not so strong? Or when he's at full power?
The broken fight would happen sooner since that's his current state and what my Open Log will be. But in that post I plan to have Sonny end up running away.

You down with that?

Oh, god. I honestly really enjoy beating up my characters, but I don't want to start Rex off with an entire body-breaking. That's just... yeah, not yet. But bruising, scrapes, throwing him around a bit, maybe break something? Collarbones break easily... those are all fine with me! Depends on how you want to take it, too.

I'd be okay with either of those! How strong is he at full power? If we're not going to be mashing Rex into pulp, just banging him around, then brokenish!Sonny would be better. And also, when would the log be going up? I'll be busy on Friday, but before then or after would work well for me.

Haha absolutely likewise. Kind of enjoy laying the smack down too. S'why I brought in a crazy face lion. But I got you. The worst Sonny would do is break an arm or a leg. He still doesn't like the idea of hurting humans.

And haaa, I was thinking of putting the log up Friday night, but I might go with Saturday morning. Friday is kind of my party night, so I'm usually out of commission anyway. Let's go with broken-y Sonny then!

Laying the smackdown is also enjoyable. 8) I just like combat, whether my dude's winning or not.

Well! If you do end up putting it up Friday night, I can tag it Saturday morning if you're cool with backtagging? I should tell you now, I'll backtag 'til the sun don't shine. By which I mean until the sun's gone supernova on us.

YAY I'M EXCITED FOR THIS :D

Baby, we're kings and queens of Backtagging where I'm from (Canada. And only because of all the snow. ~~shut up it makes sense~~)

Me too! See you there.

Most excellent. AYE AYE, CAPITAN. o7
