Andressa De'Liano Aka Triplight's page

Guh I have a decent idea for transformed... not really much for the villain yet. My biggest worry is that like trip I have alot of drive going into it and then the fancy leaves me x.x

I do enjoy Andressa, but I've also got a few other ideas kicking around in my head. Due to the circumstance of the story revolving in halcyon a bit more than I thought we didn't really get to explore the other universe's nor get a chance to go to Andressa's 'home' to visit with the krol'kraza. But I think her just sort of sticking around and being weird at the school and generally causing minor mischief is probably a viable story for her to continue down. Eventually she would have most likely ventured back out into the stars driven away by some greater need to keep going to new places, seeing as this Earth is pretty well under control. She'd certainly pop back in to check up on her new friends and would likely call on them in turn whenever they called.

I was kind of thinking about maybe a nova who's very wizard/magey, book smarts for magic sort of thing. Or maybe a transformed, though in not sure exactly what yet(there are so many ideas here it's hard to settle on one lmao), or maybe a power stealy delinquent(this one was an idea before siphon believe it or not). Gonna wait to hear some other ideas on playboys before settling though.

Trip thought on that for a while, "This place does seem to have a higher than usual propensity for strangeness. Maybe it's just something in this verse that makes it... appealing to strive for something better? I think we could go with you, if just for a bit to ask about a few things myself. I really would like to get to the bottom of any possible invasions before they happen, and maybe see if there's been any signal from the princess about that whole bounty on our heads situation."

Cleared my cookies and cache earlier today and paizo is still being a butt on desktop. Also been kind of swamped with work/house work and trying desperately to catch up on sleep lmao. Homeownership!

Hope ya'll have been doing well

I'm still here on mobile but yeah desktop wouldn't let me in, I'll try that when I get a chance. Next two weeks are going to be awful for my free time.

Hux was the first to notice Isaiah pop around the corner and gave a greeting chirp in his direction, with that same sing-song melodical tone, prompting Andressa to turn. "Ah Isaiah, yes i'm looking into a being I heard about at one of the club functions at the school." She points to the monitor showing The Alien.

"No doubt you remember this species from your time connecting with me in the verse? Nuovan, this one is called V'Kovens and it seems in his time here he was quite a hero fighting against something called Axis-Germany and the Nazi people? I wanted to do a further dive into his presence to make sure that there wasn't some secret plot to invade and consume Terra into the Nuovan empire here, but the information here does not even say where V'Kovens subsists now."

Andressa inclined her head trying to think of how long Nuovan's lived but coming to the realization that she didn't know that much about their biology. She turned with a bit of concern reading on her face to the outsider, "Do you think I should talk with the Alliance and see if I can secure a meeting with him?"

Base
Andressa and Hux sat humming to themselves in their own sort of chit-chatty way waiting for an answer to their questions. Eventually they got a bit antsy and spoke however, "Oh I should check the computer to see if it found anything regarding The Alien be a good idea to make sure there isn't some Nuovan invasion force on it's way and all that."

With that she and Hux, now securely curled around her body traveled to the main hub for Blockbuster to see if the search spat anything out.

And back to base

Andressa arrived at the base looking drained she quickly scoured the compound for her not-so little friend La'Hux'Ti and wrapped her arms around the dracanoid seeming to immediately brighten. "Oh I missed you so much friend I'll tell you all about my day, and you yours." The two eventually made their way to Siphon to whom's question the pair cocked their heads. "What is Whiskey Snowglobe? Blackout like the electrical phenomena? The significance of age at this event?"

Andressa grinned at the challenge and played as she would have, but knowing she found several instances where she was overconfident in her abilities and messed up. Determined she would push herself up and go at it all again, she'd never been good at working with a team not more than her and Hux and it showed in her style despite her best efforts.

At the end of the practices she nodded to the coach hearing but not really listening. "Yeah that sounds good. I should get going though." She moved to catch up with Shin "See you tomorrow terrifying coach person."

She caught up with Shin "Well that was good, you did really well maybe you can help get the boys team going? I'd hate to have been the only one to gain anything from this practice." Andressa didn't seem to notice when Shin pulled out his phone and texted Grace. "Can't wait to get back to Hux he'll be so excited... also I miss him. It's weird all of this school stuff."

Good with the scene myself, Andressa and Shin can back and forth banter in previously tags

Sorry been meaning to post, but having brain block as my mind has been consumed with fleshing out my Warhammer Wrath and Glory character

Andressa finds bumping the ball between them quite easy though she has several occasions where she hits the ball far too hard sending it way into the air or uncontrollably in one direction or another. Soon enough she's got bumping and setting down however. "This doesn't seem too bad, especially if this is everything to it. Set me up so I can try hitting it over the goal Shin." She bumped the ball towards the net but not far enough that it'd go over, with enough hang time that Shin would be able to get under it for a proper set.

If he got a good set for her she'd run and crouch down careful not to jump too high, but launching herself skyward back arched and arm outstretched she would spike the ball into the corner near the net just within the lines demonstrating great control of the ball for spikes.

Landing she'd look to Shin and Grace with a played up huff, "Was that acceptable?"

Controlled spikes are fairly difficult iirc from my limited time playing volleyball irl also you gotta have pretty mad HOPS, not sure if it's enough to secure a spot on the team but in a non-game scenario she can't show off much hustle

Andressa nodded in agreeable with Shin, "I'll send them a message real quick." pulling out the communicator delicately disguised as one of those cellular phones, a goofy name considering they were definitely not organic nor nano-scopic. She sent a message to the team channel.

"I was talking with Shin about our club days when we first joined the school. Does anyone know more about a hero known as The Alien? The Nuovan in question came up when I was at the space club, but noone seemed to realize it was a Nuovan. It would be wise to check and make sure this planet isn't set in the sights of their Empire."

Watching Shin and his strange shyness towards Grace she started forming ideas in her own mind, but had the tact to keep them to herself for now. Standing and removing the hoodie that Kayla had bought her so that she only wore a tank-top, she was ready to join. "Should Shin and I try this together? Since we are both new to this sport it might do well for us both to practice."

Andressa managed to get by without answering thanks to Shin talking about his falsified past which she was pretty thankful for. She also followed the general group in returning their trays after some cleanup of the area. On the way to class she decides to chatter with Jaden, "So volleyball must be a fairly prodigious sport here if everyone is trying to get another team together? Think I could make the team?"

After classes

Andressa will head to the gymnasium alongside Shin just to see what kind of glorious combat sport volleyball is. She takes a seat near him and talks for a bit about the club day the other week. "I never got back with you or anyone really about the clubs, I think I may have slipped up at the astronomancy club when they were talking about alien heros of this world. One of the first to interact was a Nuovan who had adopted the colloquial name of The Alien. But noone seems to know that they were a Nuovan, which I can only surmise means that the individual was either a very good forward scout seeing if this territory was ripe to overtake for the empire, or some sort of renegade against the others."

Happy holidays all hope ya have a good new year. Been moving into the new house so haven't had a whole lot of time to post, but I think I'll try to get one out tonight to help keep things moving.

The excitement seems to bleed from Andressa after Shin joins in the joyous moment. "Yeah volleyballierans or whatever let's do it."

At Shin's whisper she nods, and climbs down from the table to look at the others. "May have gotten a bit too excited there, but I think I'd like to join or at least give it a try if you don't mind. The game I mean."

And with that Andressa will clear insecure due to feeling pumped and invincible.

Tried to sit down and write a post out last night, ended up rewatching Arcane instead whoops

Turning in her seat and pushing from the table a bit to get a better view of Sophie raising an eyebrow at the phrase 'we went to state' aren't we already in a state? she thought and then everyone got a sudden jolt of school spirit juice.

Not immune to the effects of the phenomenal jolt of jubilation and egged on at everyone's sudden spree of 'school spirit' fueled outbursts and thinking this is a normal thing to get this excited about joins in. Pushing completely out of her seat, standing, performing a 'hop' with her arms thrown up she cheers. "YEAH LET'S BEAT THOSE WOLVES AND SHOW THEM THAT OURS IS THE BEST LARGE CARNIVORE!"

Her hop however was enough to nearly clear the table they had been eating at and she nearly catches the edge with her sneakers as she lands again. The surge of 'spirit' leaving her for just a moment like a temporarily ebbing wave. Before the last shimmering flakes of psy-juice fade she looks to Shin, "Go on and get those volleyballs show em who's boss!"

Comfort/Support(Shin with pure energy!): 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (3, 6) + 1 = 10

If Shin accepts(it may also be a provoke depending on Stalwart's interpretation) but if C/S: Mark a potential, clear a condition, or shift labels if you open up(accept the challenge in this case?) and i'll clear my insecure via Psychic induced ego boost. If Provoke though, Get out there and play some darn volleyball Shin and add a team!! Also the basic moves pdf link broke again

That could widely swing some interactions, I imagine it's a blanket psy-wave. But maybe the gang's interaction with psionics gives them some more resistance? Curious if it's gonna affect the team myself though.

Siphon pushing me to the top of superior *sweats lightly* gotta be careful with that one now lol
Trip laughed at Siphons question. "Yeah I picked it up from a Hallaxian trader a while back. Thankfully Terrans are pretty resilient to rapid changes in gravity benefits of a decently high evolution. Squarks, little helium based lifeforms would pop under this kind of gravity well without protective gear. Also depends pretty much on who, but they can get pretty chaotic. Odd fighting people who aren't firing pulse rifles or galvanization beams. You did really good too taking out the strong guy early and using their strength against em."

Luncheon
Andressa looked a bit shocked, "That sounds like quite the injury." She sips at the orange citrus juice that she had gotten with her food turning at the laughing girl group. "I'm sure you'd do well in basketball Shin, wouldn't hurt to try right? Could I try for the basketball team as well or maybe volleyball? I'm not exactly well-versed in sports since I was taught from home." There is a pretty good indication she didn't make the connection that high school teams are often separated into Men's and Women's teams. But she did give Shin a reassuring smile and tentative thumbs up. Though Andressa wasn't exactly tall herself she knew her own physical abilities were likely higher than most unaugmented humans.

After the showdown in the garage(Before the airfield upset)
Trip exhaled sharply after they finally made it to a safe location giving Steel's smaller form a look up and down and thoughts about the suit with a shrug.
"Okay maybe we keep the violence to the skulls down a bit. But with those powers or augments whatever, we're gonna need to take them down one at a time and quick."
Trip moves over to Siphon and gives her a friendly elbow bump "So like what ya saw in there? I was like pew-bang-zaap ka-krak!" Psyche would, likely feel the wave of fear hiding just below the façade of pride in her work in the garage while she attempted to chum up with Siphon.

Might not count enough towards celebrating with Siphon but if it counts Stalwart gets to alter my labels as per. -When you share a triumphant celebration with someone, ask them what they admire about you(like what you saw) The GM will shift one of your labels up and one down based on what they say

Halcyon High
Andressa left Hux back at Blockbuster to rest and get his own lay of the place while she reluctantly went to the school, she hated leaving his side especially after the whacky things that happened with the scrappers the other day. In truth though a part of her was glad for a change of pace even for a moment, it was good to always have change it was all she ever knew it was the normal. Going from one laser battery filled jaunt across a sector to the calm rolling coronal waves of a star-field and back.
But this school thing that the Terrans had was something else. Mental gymnastics and the favored students always trying to outperform one another in their preferred field of study was like a battlefield of it's own. Then there was the chatter between students in the halls between classes it was like a weird espionage class was in session at all times friendships and ties between the 'factions' in the school all vying for supremacy and membership. She enjoyed the chaotic flow of it all even if she didn't understand it, sometimes she knew that was for the best.

During one of the mathmatics classes, she thinks they called it Calculus was horribly boring, terribly inefficient, and in many accounts just incorrect. When she raised her hand, a practice she had learned was required to speak openly, to ask the teacher why the equation only equated to a singular answer she was reminded they were still a non-space faring, three dimension species here. 'Seriously who doesn't know Glorphax's equation of hyper-interpolaton?'

The chemistry classes were very simple, like a child's game really, but it was always a little interesting to see how thermodynamics worked on different planets, half of the stuff they were talking about would be impossible on many of the methane planets she had been too.

The literature caught her by surprise she delved into the fiction section of their library, with actual honest to Thrak paper books, with an almost reckless abandon finding the various tales of fantasy inspiring. It was almost cute how many people crafted stories about fake entities and beings on this planet they'd probably lose their minds if they were ever taken to places where these things were real. Or maybe if they knew that many of the dreams where these stories were born from could be explained, at least partially, by the entanglement of their endless versions simply living their lives, being projected across the metaversal gauntlet. She made a mental note to talk to Isaiah later discussing the possibility of sharing the historical information about the tragedy that was the Galvarian ascendancy with the Terrans, maybe that would help them prepare for their inevitable introduction to the stars with less volatile results.

It felt like an eternity but finally the bell rang and Andressa started to pack up only to realize that the school day was half over, but on the bright side Jaden invited her to sit with 'the gang' at lunch. She enjoyed the conversation, and was maybe a little weird about the school food. It was a strange texture and taste, though one could say that about Kaltamari from LX388 but noone could deny those little fried suckers were tasty. She tried to distract anyone from her weirdness by asking questions of the team, since she didn't actually know anything about basketball.
"So, basketball? I've never played what's it like could i come watch a match? Do people get hurt alot?"

Spotting Shin during lunch she flagged him down to the table with the kind of loud obnoxiousness born of time spent in packed station hubs, "Hey come sit with Jaden and the others we're talking about games!"

Ok I think it's super late to say this but I think Trip may have grown into herself a bit. I say this because while her and Isaiah have been having their own bonding experience the rest of the team hasn't been in a position to make any bonds with her, especially with Kayla leaving, and the focus shifting to getting Siphon on board with the team. She's also slowly trying to acclimate to Earth culture a bit more and trying very hard to explore these weird terran emotions she has been feeling since she's been with the group. I would say she hasn't grown away from the group though because noone has actively pushed her away, not even Kayla after the incident(not anymore beyond separating herself from the team).

I also have to say, sorry for the huge chunk of radio silence, still trying to figure out the house stuff while also already having to start my new job(before I actually move to where it's not a 2 hour drive one direction x.x). Between that and the usual brainslump, post convention depression, and general just trying to do life stuff. I haven't had a whole lot of free braincells to dedicate to writing anything here. However I hope to get back to it a bit more once everything calms down and i get all this reality under my feet again.

oh btw danger down superior up(-1 and 2 respectively)

Between, working on my current house for reappraisal, and sorting things out with work and the place i'm moving too i've been pretty drained x.x I think we need a moment to gnash out some of the conditions that everyone has built up and then tackle the next action bit. We've been riding the dramallama for a while now which is all good and part of the game, but it's been a pretty non-stop slap fest of emotion with only a spattering of tiny tiny wins for the team. Even the bigger wins have been sort of torn down by the adult(looks at Silver) doing a "Are you sure about that?" and Prae leaving the group, which we haven't had a good moment to actually address I guess?

Andressa also tried to comfort you Isaiah, so if you accept in some way you can clear a condition.

Huzzah... in similar news i'm also going to be maybe moving soon x.x not super duper far but it'll be interruptive as most moves are lol. As well as a new job schedule, so i've been hunkering down for that, hence my absence.

Hmm hard to say how Trip has grown. She feels a bit weird by how Kayla left, but that's not exactly new for her people come and go including herself in the multiverse. But she was rather attached to hanging out with her Hero's daughter. Isaiah and Trip have had a bit of bonding in their own weirdness, but I don't think the team overall has been super on board to get to know her more. Kinda all been dealing with their own thing including the new arrival and recent departure.

Glad that everyone is giving Siphon a chance but not sure if that's exactly growing into the team, seems more growing into herself as someone who can offer reasonable change to the places she interacts with.
Could make an argument for all three, gonna go back over things one more time later today assuming this headcold slows it's roll. And see if I can't decide which makes the most sense.

Everyone doing good?

Trip gave a short sigh at the discourse between everyone and their reluctance to move forward, "Alright how's this, Isaiah you send some probes forward, meanwhile we all take a few moments to meditate and recenter ourselves. I know some Kroll hymns that might help everyone relax a bit. And if you need some more processing power to sort through data we can link up again." Though it may not be apparent to those more human and out of the know there was little emotion behind Trips suggestion to 'link-up' with Isaiah beyond actually wanting to aid her ally. Were there any other implication of the phrase she seemed blissfully unaware.
comfort support(Isaiah): 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (5, 2) + 1 = 8

Welp no time like the present to try and work on them there conditions instead of bickering about needing to fix them I suppose.

About halfway to home... aka another 14 hours of driving. See ya'll soon

Hey folks, gonna be pretty spotty for the upcoming week as I'm going on vacation. Hope ya'll have a fun and safe time and I'll see ya at the end of it.

Trip shrugs, "I'm afraid I don't know what spill the beans means, but I assume it correlates fine since you did indeed let loose the information." They turn to Frostbite and move a bit closer, "We can go after the androidians now if you think that's the right thing to do... after what just happened, and with what Siphon just said i'm not sure we're quite up for it, unless i'm allowed to bring out the big blasters. Which um... well correct me if i'm wrong, Heroes aren't supposed to make baddies bone-less right?"

Trip stifled a laugh, "Beck and call? I don't know if you know me, but I follow my own way. It just so happens that it often gets tangled up with those I call team, which isn't bad for me but- Oh hey R-err-Frostbite! There was some interference and you probably got lost in the action."

She motioned over to Siphon, "Oh oh Siphon did say she found something out about the Androidians though so that's a good thing right? Go on, quash the tillbix lady."

Trip gave a shrug she had little to no interaction with the Alliance so she really couldn't say beyond her first interactions with those here on Terra.

"Don't know honestly... that'd be for the others to explain."

Trip looks to Siphon, "I uh.. don't know what those are, but I assume tales of caution involving Artificial Intelligence. So long as an A.I. is brought up with a good background they can become great members of society. I've seen a few civilizations who have made leaps and bounds in all manner of progress and accepted them into their society. Do not stifle it, but keep it safe, do not harm it."

Trip turns the housing unit over in her hands before looking up at Steel, "Take care of it, but don't trap it. Never ends well."

She then turned to Siphon "You get any info from the baddies?

might hand it back with no qualms depending on what she gets back from that scan

Grats everyone for 3 years and almost 7k posts, between gameplay and discussion at least. Here's a cheer for a bright future going forward!

Trip slowly lowers her phase blasters and then sends them back to her somewhere storage of armaments before taking the codex housing in both arms. Feeling the thing slowly absorbing the faintest trickles of energy from Hux she decides to run a quick scan over the artifact using her suit's advanced scanner. This process does take her concentration away from the scenario around her for a time however.

extend senses: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (5, 4) + 2 = 11

hot diggity

Gonna take insecure she legit just said they'd be able to get out of anything and then lost him to a freak accident, so a little insecure in her ability to keep hux safe atm

Having retrieved her best friend from the dastardly machine she utters some comforting words to the being before hopping back into action quickly swapping out to the 'big guns' she offers the scrappers exactly what they've been dishing out in the form of hot dangerous stun bolts from a pair of blasters. Dashing and diving from her position atop the powerloader towards the codex housing and trying to snatch it while there was still time to salvage the situation.

Directly Engage: 2d6 + 0 ⇒ (5, 5) + 0 = 10
Resist/avoid and take something from them(The codex housing unit)

"We are DONE playing nice! You want to shoot us so bad i'll shoot! Eat phaser bolts Kragblaths!"

Think trip got skipped on the last dm post x.x also sorry for the general inactivity

provoke: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (6, 1) + 1 = 8
I suppose if you don't mark a condition for not helping this poor lass get her dragon friend back like the meanie you are.

righto, i figured since they were helping it might count, if not then i'll choose psyche. gonna make the roll real quick.

Sorry all meant to get a post out yesterday and then had basically all the momentum of my day stripped from a single phone call, but we're back in business

TaPB: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 5) = 7
directly engage: 2d6 + 0 ⇒ (4, 5) + 0 = 9

Andressa feels Hux being ripped from her suit the pain and fear seeming to effect her viscerally with a scream. "Hux NO!" She whips around to the others despite the behemoth of metal firing at them all including the now steely colored Triplight. "Don't hurt him he's in there now! You get the pilot out however you have to! She pleaded to the jockey of the large 'friendly' metal armor. She doesn't sit idle however and rushes through the fire attempting to clamber onto the back of the loader to see if she can reverse the polarization again to shunt Hux back out of the machine.

gonna try to provoke hmmm Steel Guardian to take out the pilot, and if possible see if i can Take something from them(the enemy) that something being hux.

TaPB: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 4) = 7
gonna go with Give ground

Expecting her suit and hux to handle the surge Trip doesn't notice her suit reacting poorly to the tachyon theta-waves that surged from the powerlifter causing her current weaponry, the gravity gun to fire on overcharge.

Wanna leave it up to Stalwart on exactly what happens this is more or less just an idea, weather it fires on anti-grav or intensify who's to say. Or if it's something entirely different, don't think i've seen many give grounds

Taking a moment to shake off the nerves from exiting the nullification field Trip swapped out their weaponry once again but pauses as they hear the big mecha-dude say they need to find the codex before it gets connected. She rushes to Isaiah and puts her power armored self between him and the mech before it can harm him, "Hey let's find this thing quick sounds kinda bad. You pinpoint and i'll take us there, quick!"

defend(Isaiah): 2d6 + 0 ⇒ (3, 4) + 0 = 7

Gonna immediately clear Afraid and expose myself to danger.

Triplight pressed her hands against the spherical null-field feeling the oddly numbing sensation permeating from it. Even from under her suit, a small pit grew in her stomach as both her and Hux had a mild panic attack the edge of which was quickly trimmed by combat stims. She exhaled sharply and slung the gravity gun over her shoulder where it clamped into place.

"OK class-4 nullification field can't be too hard to break right just need to overload it with the right power fluctuation." Trip's hands pressed into the sphere her suit's fingers starting to glow as energy built at a specific point trying to destabilize the field.

unleash: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (3, 2) + 2 = 7

gonna mark afraid here to prevent unstable/temp yay backstory trauma actually fitting the moment.

Uh good thing trip's in the safety of the null field I guess... right?

Totes fair lol, wasn't expecting that to work tbh

not sure how Trip could help Psyche here, maybe something is distracting her focus?

Trip smiles and hefts the emp cannon over her shoulder leaning over the edge to see Horizon charge in and Psyche's message going out 'Don't forget to let Siphon know, oh wait' She tips off the edge and drops towards the floor her weapon dropping through a separate portal as she bellows in glee from the split moment of weightlessness, like someone going off the dive of a rollercoaster. She lands hard on her knee and spins firing a familiar device towards the group Shin went after which warped the local gravity well.

Unleash Powers(Anti-grav Mode): 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (6, 5) + 2 = 13

She stood turning and resting the familiar rifle-like weapon over her shoulder while casually looking at Psyche, "Focus on calming the Sentient down we'll handle this, if you can find it let's hurry. No doubt your planet has fast security response times."

Use the low gravity cheatcode gun, and uhh.. Inspire psyche by showing her we can handle ourselves as the team point? TBH i think i could equally go with a defend(Shin) but since he isn't in a direct threat quite yet i felt this may be more fitting.

ISAIAH LIVES!!!! *clang clang*

Trip waits for the others to move forward and open the door honestly she had hoped for a less direct infiltration but she also hadn't spoken up so that was her fault. Upon seeing the blast she stepped through to the building and assessed the situation. Seeing the high tech cannon on the roof she flicked open another portal and reached in to acquire a high end electronic pulse emitter. Pointing it at the device she called down to Siphon, "Sorta like that but even hotter." She then pulled the trigger causing the device to charge and unleash an near invisible wave outward towards the turret.

engage: 2d6 + 0 ⇒ (6, 4) + 0 = 10

resist and take away their defense grid/turret?

Keep strong Isaiah, hopefully you find a good job after you move and settle in.

After transporting everyone Trip takes a moment to stretch, "Okay so first, what kind of security should we be expecting? Might be able to just warp us in. I don't think any of us are just going to walk through the street without attracting some kind of attention. I don't know about Terra, but this kind of area seems perfect for someone with a plasma lance to sit in wait."
