Chapter 3: INFO FOR GEN 2'S AND 3'S

[url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/213418003/0/0]Link to overview[/url] 2222 sat down in a chair and read the tablet she had been given. [b][u]Introduction[/b][/u] Okay, so if you're reading this that means you’re not real.  You are a computer program.  A really complicated special one, but still a computer program.  You may look, feel, and think you're human, but you aren’t.  However, that isn’t very important.  This is your life now, so you’ll just have to deal with it.  Following are the questions asked most often. Q: Where am I? A: Somewhere in Russia, in this game that is.  Outside the wall the levels of the fallen are too high, no one has ventured out very far and made it back. Q: Fallen? A: Real nice folk.  4 arms(usually), wants to kill you, and…  That’s about all we know! And all we need to know. Q: Game? A: Yeah, a game. We're NPCs in a game. The players come from a world where the Alien apocalypse didn’t happen.  Or hasn’t happened. Q: Gen 2/3? A: So, us NPCs come in large waves.  Gen 1’s were the first 500, Gen 2’s were the next 1000, and Gen 3’s will probably be about 2000.  There's a year between each Generation, and the spawning happens in the month of September.  Players started showing up at the same time as Gen 2’s, but there weren't that many, maybe 100 or so.  They say the game isn't very popular, and the platform it's on is difficult to obtain. [b][u]Core Mechanics[/b][/u] There are three main stats and three classes.  Remember, this is a game.  There is Armor, Recovery, and Agility, Titan, Hunter, and Warlock.  I’ll explain each. [u]Armor:[/u] Armor determines your HP.  Everyone has a base 100 HP, but as that 100 goes down, you are dying.  It hurts.  This last 100, you will feel the pain of being shot, stabbed, gutted, or whatever you had did to you.  [b]Armor Increases your HP by 50 per point.[/b] [u]Recovery:[/u] Recovery determines how quickly your HP replenishes.  Here’s an equation on how it works. [b]X = amount of HP gained per second Y = Time without damage needed to wait(seconds) Z = Whatever your recovery stat is(1,2 3, etc.) X = 15 * Z Y = 13 - Z[/b] [u]Agility:[/u] Agility determines how quickly you move.  [b]One Agility is the base.  You are moving at one agility right now.  Two agility is twice as fast as one.  Three agility is three times as fast as one. Four agility is four times as fast, and so on.[/b] [u]Titan:[/u] Titans start out with 4 armor, 1 recovery and 1 agility.  So they’re really beefy.  Tons of HP. [u]Hunter:[/u] Hunters start with 1 armor, 1 recovery, and 4 agility.  So in the beginning, they are 4 times faster than Titans and Warlocks. [u]Warlock:[/u] Warlock’s start with 1 armor, 4 recovery, and 1 agility.  They heal faster than the others. [b][u]Levels, EXP, and Abilities:[/u][/b] Your level is determined by your gear.  All the stuff you will find will have a level. The average level of all your gear is your level.  Experiance will not raise your level, but can e used to buy upgrades a d abilities. You need to spend a lot experience points to get abilities, because they aren't cheap.  You'll figure it out as you go. [b] [/b] So, that's the basics.  You can ask people around you to figure where to go from here. ~END~

  • The thing about the Fallen gave me a few chuckles. This wasn't too big of an info dump, considering your other chapters are actually very short and this was technically a piece writing within the story itself that the MC began to read. But if possibly, like you saw with the chapters I made years ago, these kinds of dumps are things you generally want to steer clear of (can get confusing to read or throw too much at you at once). I realize something like this was probably a bit awkward to put into dialogue, but it definitely would've allowed the reader to connect more with the MC and understand her by gauging the way she talked and acted, as well as gave more personality to other minor characters. I'm still a fan, though, of how your approaching this story. A few grammatical/structural errors that are easy fixes, but it's definitely piquing my interest in a good way this time haha But I gotta hit the hay tonight to wake up for work tomorrow, so I'll read some more later that night.
