Hey survivors,
I wanted to give you guys a quick update on stuff.
I unfortunately don’t have much time left to write stuff for the book for the moment.
Between the day job burning most of my time (schools are out for the summer so most of my colleagues are taking their vacation in the next few weeks), staying alive (eating, sleeping, etc.), keeping the small amount of social contact I have and trying to make progress in my other projects (if you are following me on Twitter, you might have noticed my Game Dev streams since I use that media for both Inkshares and the stream), I am unfortunately at my mind’s limit.
That said, I still have a little something for you guys, to get a better feel for the book.
So, as is already revealed by everything on the project’s page, the world in which REB1RTH is based, Stratos, comes from a video game. That simple thought, at first, lead to me thinking of everything in the world as elements of a video game. Including the characters of the story. Thus, I give to you, a quick rundown of the class archetypes of all the members of Steel Tempest, as of the first chapters.
Shimeon : Commando
Equipped with many weapons and a quick mind, Shimeon controls the battlefield through cunning and gunpowder.
Elder : Bastion
Wielding a shield and a combination of revolvers and pistols, Elder excels at holding tactical positions or slowly creep forward on the battlefield.
Ivy : Drone Technician
From simple quad copters to sacrificial planes bearing explosive payloads, Ivy uses the air to her advantage to control the situation from afar.
Jackie : Connected Mind
While physically and mentally fit to act as a frontline soldier, Jackie excels at electronical interactions, from simple rewiring of security systems to actual network hijacking.
Chimera : Marksman
Wielding high caliber rifles, Chimera excels at long range target removal and pressure.
Makar : Tracker
Quick on feet, slippery and subtil, Makar excels at covert missions and quick assaults, using his bow and close range weapons to his advantage.
Jackal : Jack of all trades
While not excelling at any role, Jackals trade that for being relatively good at every role, whether it’s long range target acquisition and removal, frontal assault or demolition.
