The Xenos Factbook

The Xenos

OOC: This is Nikolaos The Great's puppet nation. I am going to use it for future tech RPs. And yes this nation is based of the Predators in the Alien movies and Alien VS Predator movie as you will find out below.

IC:
The Xenos Factbook

Information:
OOC2: Got this info on Predators off this site http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Zone/2352/alipred.html So all credit goes to him.

IC:
Appearance: Predators are tall, apparently mammalian humanoids with short tusks and multi-toothed mandibles. They often wear combat masks and little or no armor, but what they do wear will always be in subdued, natural tones to decrease visibility. They commonly wear their sparse hair in neck-length dreadlocks. Their large hands do have short claws, but these are largely useless in combat. For more on appearance, see the Predator movies.

OOC2: I didnt draw this picture.

Biology: The Predators' home planet is unknown, but it is known that they can breathe in human-friendly atmospheres and appear to be omnivorous.

Technology Level: The Predators posess technology far beyond Imperial levels, but they combine it with relativly primitive melee weapons for a disturbingly effective arsenal.

Personality Notes: Predators are opportunistic hunters. If they are out hunting aliens and run into a Human party, the Humans are considered potential prey. This does not mean that the Predators will attack on sight; they may also see the Humans as potential allies, or at least as a bit more than they can handle at present. In certain, very rare instances, a non-Predator may be invited to join a hunt-in-progress, or even to permanently join a hunting party. This only happens when the non-Predator demonstrates extraordinary skill and courage.

Weapons and Equipment Common to Predators

Telumnite: Telumnite is an incredibly hard but surprisingly light metal used by the Predators to make armor and edged weapons. Even the most sophisticated scanning equipment cannot break down it's chemical structure. It does not mean it cannot be destroyed.

Retractable Wrist Blades:
These are sharp telumnite blades which protrude from a small unit strapped to the Predator's wrist. When a stud in the palm is activated, the blades will snap out, ready for combat.

Telescopic Spear:
This heavy, telumnite-headed spear is only three feet long for carrying and storage, but can extend to a full seven feet for combat use.

Razor Disc:
This "smart weapon" is a largish, telumnite-edged disc that is gripped through finger holes in the center. It may be wielded as a melee weapon or thrown. A simple squeezing of the apropriate finger grips activates the "smart" feature; if an attack misses, the disc will automatically return to the thrower.

Wrist-Bolt Gun:
A small wrist-mounted device which uses compressed gasses to propell four-inch telumnite darts with with incredible force.

Plasma Cannon:
A shoulder-mounted energy weapon. It can turn completely around to fire on targets behind the Predator. The cannon is aimed through the hunting mask; The cannon can be set to autofire on any specific target or type of target. The autofire computer has the blaster skill at 3D.

The Clans
OOC3: From here and on I made it up.

IC:

The Xenos or known as the predators are splited in 4 allied clans. The tribes are the Xenos, Xangius, Xangians and then Xanglors. The strongest and smartest predator can lead a clan. The clans are some sort of a democratic government but its different. If another predator wants to lead the clan he haves to challenge the current clan leader. The leader haves 2 choices. It can accept his challenge our backdown and the challenger wins. To win a fight one of them must surrender or get killed by the other one. But most predators prefer getting killed then face the shame that they lost.

The predators aren't interested in money or land. They travel in there hunt ships and search for livingh things to hunt. It might take part in a war since its a very good hunting spot for them. They will also take part of colonization of planets because others will do the same wich will give the predators something to hunt.

Clans:

Xenos
Current Leader: Harshar
Population: 1.5 million

Xangius
Current Leader: Dashar
Population: 1.5 million

Xangians
Current Leader: Xan'Xan
Population: 1 million

Xanglors
Current Leader: Shelan
Population: 1 million

OOC4: This is my first attempt at future tech RPs. So are there any future tech RPs going on right now?

Wow, if there is even an RO with the Xeno's in, I'll be sure to join. Excluding Yuuzhan Vong and Xenomorphs, Predators are my favourite aliens.

I'd love to do 1v1 RP's, so Xeno, if you're interested in those, perhaps we could do one. Anyway, this puppet nation I'll be watching much more closely.
Adios, and good luck for the future!

OOC-I have a chaos undivided army I collect but usually its just blood angels, and recently grey knights, Chaos vs Predator vs Imperium? That would be crazy and totally awesome

[OOC: I may just have to make a nation lossely based on I Robot because of all this future nonsense. Ah, the dream of robotic civilization. Maybe add a little The Matrix in, a dash of Blade Runner, top it off with some Starship Troopers and Stargate and we have a blockbuster!]

Hey Xenos, would you want to do a RP where say like the Imperium is on a mission to the Predator homeworld and want to claim it for their own, the predators then clash with space marines in a series of epic hunts and battles, then maybe the chaos guys show up and the Predators and the Marines have to fight them. :gundge: :mp5: :sniper: :D lots of shooty and choppy
The Xenos
07-09-2004, 22:11
The Predators dont have a homeworld. We travel with ships. We arent interested in land just hunting down living creatures.
Sanguinis
07-09-2004, 23:35
ah, i see. What about the predators landing on a Space Marine homeworld, with the intent to hunt the marines only to discover that the marines are by far the most difficult prey they have ever come across
The Xenos
07-09-2004, 23:39
That would be a good hunt. The Xeno clan will contact the rest of the clans to schedule the hunt. But from our information the Xangius are already in a hunt so they might not be able to come.

do you want me to give a detailed description of the space marines, so you know exactly what you are up against
The Xenos
07-09-2004, 23:44
Ok. Are they humans? Because if they are no matter how much advance technology they have we will break every single bone in there body.

Well I can give you a short description of what the space marines are exactly.

Physical appearance
The Adeptus Astartes or space marines as they are better known as are super human warriors of the Imperium of Man. Astartes are not human, they are a new breed, almost a superhuman if you will. Astartes stand around 7 to 8 feet tall and usually weigh around 300lbs unarmored. Marines start off as human. They are recruited from different worlds when they are 12 years of age and tests have been run that shows that the enzymes in their bodies will take the new organs that are about to be placed.

Astartes have several organs that humans do not. For example a marine has 2 hearts and a gland in his lip that allows him to make his saliva acidic, the acid is not very strong and is usually used to chew threw the bars on a cage or spit in a enemies eyes. Marines have refractive lenses in their eyes that allow them to see in total darkness. Marines have incredibly fast metabolism, and a powerful digestive system. A marine in the field can survive on eating whatever he can find, animals, dirt, bark, plants, insects, etc. Marines have a high immune system rendering them immune to most disease and poisons.

Astartes have a re-enforced bone structure allowing them to take heavy blows and keep going, a marines most dense bone structure is his rib cage and skull, these are thick to protect the vital organs. A marine can shut down parts of his brain and keep moving around, doing so allows the marine to go for a extended period without sleep.

Armory

All marines are trained in the use of a bolter, the bolter is a .75 caliber semi automatic rifle with depleted urainium rounds that detonate half a second after impact with a target. Bolters come in pistol, heavy and normal

Melta Weapons-melta weapons fire a subatomic concentrated blast of thermal energy, resulting in a high power, short range thermal blast. These weapons are usually used to split tanks open, or they can be used on infantry to good effect

Plasma-plasma is a dense liquid kept at a high temperature and high pressure. This is then propelled out of a barrel on a gun, the ensuing blast burns with the heat of a small sun, plasma weapons are rare and valuble. Though they can overheat and explode. They come in pistol, rifle and cannon

Power Weapons- these weapons are hand to hand weapons usually in the forms a sword, mace, or large gauntlet known as a power fist, that are charged with a energy field that disrupts targets at the molecular level, few things save other power weapons can block them.

Armor

Marines wear a completely sealed suit of armor made from ceramite. A non conducting, ceramic that can withstand heay solid slug weapons, and medium energy blasts. The helmets on the armor are made to block out psychic abilities and enchance their night vision. They also contain radio's they use to communicate with each other.

Some marines get what is known as Terminator armor, it is like normal armor only a heavy version of it. Speed and mobility are terrible but the wearer is nearly invulnrable to all but heavy weapons. Most terminators carry a bolter and a powerfist

Vehicles

Dreadnaught-sometimes a marine will die but his skills were to great to let go to waste so he is entomed in a coffin made of a unkown metal and it is attached to a body made of ceramite that stands around 12 feet tall and has a heavy weapon on one arm and a power claw on the other arm, these armored beheamoths are known as Dreadnaughts and are rightly feared on the battle field.

Rhino-A rhino is a square tank that is used as a troop transport, its front armor is tough but can be broken open by missile fire or melta weapons

Razorback- same a a Rhino but with a heavy bolter or a laser cannon turret

Predator-The predator uses the Rhino chassis but has a turret mounted auto cannon, it is a high caliber weapon used for assaulting light armored vehilces and infantry

Whirlwind-the whirlwind sports a pair of whirlwind missile launches that can be fired in arc to hit targets that are out of line of sight

Vindicator-the vindicator sports a devastating, but short range mortar

Land Raider- the land raider is the big one among marine tanks, its armor nearly invulnrable, it sports a pair of Godhammer Laser Cannons and a heavy bolter, it is used to transport Terminators into the midst of battle, and it truly is a potent engine of destruction.
