[Shit People on Discord Says]

Wonder why that happened?

[IPC upgrade system]

I don’t understand why any of those upgrades would be needed. They don’t need a speed buff and the cost of said speed buff is extra battery charge? Which can be countered with another upgrade, the battery upgrade? Seems like you just suggest buffs to IPCs with cost that the other buffs can just shut down which makes it really only buffs and no one wants to deal with that. More ions ions ions

[Character Bio: Keziah Braun]

First Name: Keziah

Last Name: Braun

Gender: Female

Orientation: Straight

Nicknames/Alias: Kez, Kezzy, Braun, Liz

Picture(If Available)

Age/D.O.B: January 26, 2541

Place Of Birth: Upper-class district, Luna

Species: Human

Blood Type: O+

Alignment: Lawful Neutral

Affiliation: Solar Federation

Religious Beliefs: Atheist

 

Childhood: Keziah grew up with her two parents, Arthur and Anne Reed, Solar Federation Generals, who spoiled her with as much love and materials as they could. Being born to two very influential people gave her an odd childhood, surrounded by people who were much older than her, and performing in activities you wouldn't find a 13-year-old in. She grew up with a very blunt perception of the world. Not being shielded by anything such as death or even the "birds and the bees", something that might've been a bad thing to her as a child, but helpful for her as she grew older. Relations with friends or romantic partners weren't a thing for her. Attending training, military academies, and many events left her with little to no free time. Due to all of her "support" from her parents, she grew up to be very experienced, which once again left her behind children her age. Sadly, all of this caused her to develop extreme anxiety. Only wants to be the best for her peers and parents. If she couldn't set a standard for herself. then would she be enough for them?

Adulthood: Rushing out of college quickly, Keziah decided to leave her home and venture out to other parts of the galaxy. Ending up in another system named Epsilon Erdani. Joining the crew as a librarian seemed like a good idea to her, but a more active job was more fitting such as being a roboticist. Her pursuit in science earned her the job of Research Director which she loved, the power of controlling an entire department felt empowering to her and only motivated her to climb on the ranks even more. Soon becoming a Captain due to her leadership skills, but she found more pleasure in Representing the corporation that is Nanotrasen better than controlling a backwater station. She is still serving her contract as a Representative until she comes back to Luna for further assignment. 

 

Detailed Information

Appearance: Keziah is a woman with a beige-colored skin, fairly average in size. She has signs of doing a lot of exercise, but she lacks muscles or toned calves and such. She loves to dress herself in clothing that compliments her body like turtlenecks or dresses Her hair falls to her knees in a curly pattern, and you would think to yourself...why isn't this obstructing her movement or vision? Sometimes her hair could be seen pulled back into a rather tight bun to help her seem more professional in her job though. She has a celestial nose with freckles blanketing them alongside her entire nose/cheek area. Glasses covering her hazel eyes may be replaced with clear contacts at some times. She stands at 5'8 with an annoyed look of disgust on her face, clenching her fist at times when she feels rather violent. Overall, she's very confident in herself at least at first glance, and tries to hold that visage carefully.

 

Character Voice: Keziah has the voice of an intern that isn't paid enough to work, and has to deal with dimwits every day. Her voice is euphonious, but that disappears when she starts to yell. Raising her voice to a more brisk and direct tone would be really condescending, but she doesn't mean it, honestly. She sounds sarcastic to anyone that she doesn't hold in regard to or just has annoyed her to a certain extent. Her laugh is often short and sweet stopping with a small chuckle if it is an amusing thing to hear or see.

 

Personality: Keziah's personality is a mix of professionalism, annoyance, and chaos. Always starting professionally slowly devolving into an annoyed state then giving up all hope and falling into a mindset of chaos. Anything and everything seems to annoy her, but to different levels that aren't harmful or "bad". She does enjoy being with her co-workers and peers, but she would never admit it. But as tough as she may look or act a simple compliment melts her like butter. 

 

Medical Record: Starting simple Keziah is 5'8, weighs 150.5lbs, has a blood type of O+, and is lactose intolerant. Diving a bit deeper though her genetic code is off. Due to a botanical experiment, her DNA does have a few floral elements to it. Not making a plant but having those odd elements to her like a green tint, causing an allergic reaction from pollen, or having a rose scent to her. Fairly normal though and Doctors found nothing wrong with it. Her hair is "technically" a purple-ish pink color from that incident but only comes back in small patches that she dyes back fairly quickly. Keziah also denies all types of mechanical augments to her limbs, disliking the feeling of not being natural and organic.

 

Character Biography

Background: Growing up on Luna in the upper-class district gave Keziah many opportunities that other Selenian children did not have. While she did grow up physically and intelligentially superior to other kids, she did lack the social skills of a normal child. After her parents noticed the lack of social interaction with other children they did enroll her in a debate club. Why a debate club is a question she still doesn't know, but it did improve her social skills, and help her to become the SUPREME NanoTrasen Representative she is now. Her degree in communications is also a major factor in her having the jobs she is permitted to work now too. Having two Solar Federation Generals are your parents also helps in making sure you are well-versed in law and at least some type of procedure regarding it.

 

Family:  Keziah has a mother and father named Arthur and Anne Reed, and an older sister named Kinessia Briars.

Her mother was always supportive of Keziah and anything she wanted to pursue. Never questioning her decision or actions, but only giving her advice on them. She wasn't too harsh or too gentle on her and always wanted the best for her. Without her mother, Keziah would've been a lazy good for nothing stuck-up adult if she wasn't pushed to strive for the best.

Her Father was very overbearing to Keziah. He would wake her up at 6:00 AM sharp to start on her daily exercises, which no kid would enjoy, because..why? He was the cause of her childhood anxiety from the high expectations that he made clear. He's just as loving as her mother, but she does sigh as his attention gazes at her.

Keziah's older sister, Kinessa Briars, is 13 years older than Keziah throwing her far ahead of her. She is currently a Solar Federation Representative which Keziah doesn't know much about due to her busy life and general distant connection to her. She's adopted and looks very different from the Reed family. She hasn't seen her for about a year or two now.

Other Information: Even though Keziah grew up on Luna, she now lives on Mars in her 2br/1bh apartment which is fairly comfortable. Why she doesn't get a bigger house which she can obviously afford is beyond her mind, but she has her dog Marley to keep her company in her times of loneliness. If she's not staying over at her partner's house that is. 

She also doesn't believe in gods and all, but that won't stop her from saying, "Oh my god" or "Oh my lord" She doesn't say thank god though, defaulting to "Thank the Stars" instead.

She always covers her mouth when eating, laughing, coughing, sneezing, or yawning. Whenever she sits her legs are always crossed, but on couches, she curls her legs up and leans back onto them.

Well uhh, that's it for this Character Bio for Keziah. I made this because I didn't like this one. It felt insulting a bit and just not like Keziah. I do plan to expand more on Keziah using this club thingy and hope this all was pretty fine seeing as I suck at writing and stuff. Peace from the Middle East though(I'm not in the Middle East)

 

 

[Choice between different armor for ERT]

16 minutes ago, SpringSkipper said:

I'm going to second that -something- needs to be done about ERT slowness.

You're always going to have some first-time ERT, and the slowdown only exacerbates the issue. New ERT that don't know red potion meta or exactly where to go to control chokepoints/surround an antag in maints are going to squander their precious slow movement wandering around being lost, automatically separated from more experienced ERT that do either have redpotions or know exactly where they're going at all times. They become the lone loot pinatas that everyone likes to joke about ERT being. At least, that was my exact experience as a first-time ERT.

While I don't play a lot of sec or ERT, it's hardly fair to say that I'm inexperienced at the game in general either.

Speed is too important in ss13 combat, and too often the sorts of antags that require an ERT are the sorts of antags that know how to leverage a speed advantage and how to ignore armor by stunning/disarming people. It shouldn't be a better choice to take off your hardsuit than to wear it. Let alone rely on xenobio for a near-mandatory fix to the issue.

Well I do believe the ERT has a slow to counter their pretty good gear. And imo if you’re a new player you shouldn’t be going ERT. Even a first-time ERT should know about red slimes and such(I hope). But yes the slowdown is the trade for getting very good gear.

[The Saga of Crazyhair]

Ok, I won't post on this topic until something else of upmost importance comes up but something of upmost importance has came up! I have reached 1000(1002) hours on Paradise. Does this mean I've now became super saiyan? like Goku and the green people from dragon ball Z? Bye

[The Saga of Crazyhair]

Yeah, that was a bit strange to me, but I did after say I was Cybersun and how we financed the Syndicate. Yet that wasn’t the reason the HoS wanted me arrested. Priorities aren’t a thing to some people.

[The Saga of Crazyhair]

Here again for my antag ways....

So whenever I'm traitor I like to go disguises and all that like SolFed Representative, Cybersun Representative, and one I haven't done yet but planning to is a Syndicate Intern. I don't know the real point of posting this besides like I guess telling you all and I kind of want tips on making better disguises and making them seem authentic. I read faction wiki a bit so I can kind of generalize what I want to do and how I want to do it. So for SolFed I had someone else become my bodyguard and we had NTR level access, mindshields, plastic surgery for actually becoming them. Tip for me playing Solfed is talking shit while not being directly aggressive.

Cybersun Rep was really fun. I got to talk about how I am kind of Syndicate but also arresting me would mean that the Syndicate would maybe come to get me back, so it's kind of a weird one but it still works. That loadout was combat turtleneck, officer beret, labcoat(blank works the best imo), medihud glasses, with a Syndicate headset with CMO headset and science key. That round was kind of  iffy because the HoS thought I wasn't real and was trying to arrest me and a SM sliver core with Cybersun label was found so I'd give it a 7/10. Also Malf AI.

Solar Federation Representative was done with the help of Charlie Charson or something but they play Flow now, so thanks Shadowradar. Solfed rep was my first time being an offical while being a traitor and it was really fun. We even got caught coming out of a false wall but an officer just excused it and left us. We had sec comms, mindshields, all of the real stuff. A few people knew it was Keziah and Charlie because the hair and how we were hidden.....(Moi), but it went really smooth and wasn't many hitches to it besides NTR faxing CC about how we weren't real but CC said something like they're probably real and just unexpected. I'd say thats a 9/10 for me. Also shoutout to Matt for letting me getting captain comms for 6 tc so I could talk to command and all! <3

I haven't done Syndi Intern yet so not much to talk about but I have the loadout ready and all but I'm waiting for the perfect round. Kinda wanna see if admins aid me a bit . Peace I guess. Also, would making Keziah for like one round a slimeperson be odd? I see people changing the species of their characters and I think it's cool I guess.

Last thing before I post this! I'm gonna revamp this one post thing to be my updates I guess? It's a ss13 blog page I guess lol

Edit: I did another offical thing like some russian military leader with Ryder Hill but I kinda forgot the details but I know we killed the fake diplomat!

[The Saga of Crazyhair]

So it's like 2:50 in the morning and I have way more energy than needed so why not post something on the forum?

So, I was just searching up a friend up the discord and then I searched Keziah up to see how many times Keziah has been said. AND BOY ALL MIGHTY.....My early days of playing paradise and ss13 in general I was a massive shitter or just horrible player in general. Like lots of the conversations were about me breaking various rules or being a shitter player in general and I must say. I am so fucking thankful that doesn't happen as much as it used to because honestly I don't think I would've survived. If I didn't get banned for blowing up those borgs as a non-antag roboticist or get command banned for going SSD as NTR any many things. I would most likely still be a shitter in hiding. I do thank you all for helping me improve my ways of and hope that if you still do see an issue with the way I play to please DM me about it or something. I don't want to be known as a shitter player and I definitely don't enjoy being treated like one. That's all really......

Time to bookmark this

[Rookie Wizards Midround]

I'd say it sounds cool but it's still a wizard though. People will still use it as a murderbone fest regardless of objective and some of the builds help it. I'd think just giving an apprentice a few extra spells like jaunt and repulse with the normal fireball and magic missile  is enough to cause chaos but to not fully disrupt a round. But I'm also extremely dumb, so take everything I say with a grain of salt.

[Halloween Alterations For Your Characters]

Seeing as it's Halloween week I must make a forum post about it.....

 

What are you all doing for your characters to make them spooky? I'm renaming Keziah to Keziah Banshee and ahelp for ear breaking abilities to really try and become a banshee. How about you all? I know GamblerZ make Jacklyn a Jack-O-Lantern.

So what about you? Show that spooky ss13......I'm trying to rhyme but you understand what I'm asking right? Spooky alterations to characters and antags.

[Cult Help for Players]

Many times have I rolled cultist(which used to be my favorite antag), and gotten all very new members and had to take over as the leader/hard carry. I've done so much cultist leader and used some interesting spells and runes to help the cult and defeat sec. 

I want this post to be a guide I guess and post for me to tell people that if they ping me via discord or just use this forum post I'll try my best to help them understand cultist using mentor station.

No reason to have all of this knowledge and not be able to share it.

 

Quick tip: If you get cult as miner set up base in the bathroom, bolt airlock, twisted construction it, then conceal presence. It will hide all runes and make airlock look normal.

Another tip: Best cultist loadout for starting is one stun, shadow shackle, teleport and blood rites. It allows for quick get away, stun, cuff, and building up of blood rite early on.

 

@Crazyhair8#8795 is my discord ping if you want to ping or DM me for help.

 

Before I finish this one would ask, "Why not do it on your own" and for that I answer with testing out something with a real player and getting real help is way easily and helps you learner quicker. Or one would ask why not use the wiki, but being honestly wiki won't get you to have a fun time. It takes experience and time to actually become decent at most antags. I have around 900 hours and still suck hard at changeling.

 

Anyways, Crazyhair out!

[In Memorium: Mechanic Paperwork]

Melinda making paperwork formats as always. Keep up the good work.

You should probably make paperwork for vox or whatever. Then you can post something similar to this when they get removed.

[Clarification Needed]

Admin(s) Key:

@Meow19

Your ckey (Byond username): Crazyhair
Your Discord name (if applicable): Crazyhair8

Date(s) of incident (GMT preferred): October 3, 2021 around 5:30-ish?

Nature of complaint: Clarification Needed,  misapplication of rules(possibly but I don't want to say that)

Brief description (tl;dr here. Just the critical elements): Playing contractor, people stop contracts, RD chases into maints with baton to stop officer being kidnapped.

Full description of events: While playing a contract I was trying to do a pretty easy contract of scientist in RnD with my science access. I got the contract, co-workers disarmed, sec came, I ran, normal contractor things. After an officer came who got me to reveal my cover I proceeded to baton him and attack to kill him/incapacitate him to prevent him from arresting me again. This started on delta station in the research division in which is between experimentor and toxins. While this was happening I was already being chased by a civilian that didn't attack me or prevent the kidnapping but just chasing me.

I ran into experimentor maints with the RD following me trying to throw them off by closing airlocks, going into different plays of maints, and trying to baton them. None of this dissuaded them and they kept following me trying to baton me. Normally I would find this ok and not ahelp it or whatever but the RD chased me from science(research division) all the way to toxins maints which is a far way to go. At some point they baton'd me which I took their baton and hit them back and tried to get the officer again which failed and got caught some time later because I was too tired with the whole situation.

I did ahelp this which I was told, 

Quote

Meow19: all looks good to me since rd was present at the time the kidnapping started, thanks for the report though!

Crazyhair: he literally chased me through maints trying to baton me while seeing I was batoning the other people chasing me

Crazyhair: it's fair that he was there so he could've tried to save me but he literally chased me through maints

Crazyhair: save the officer*

Meow19: people can chase you as long as their intentions are to save the person being kidnapped, and they were present at the time the kidnapping started.

Crazyhair: I know that much but going into maints full on chasing an antag to save someone while you know they armed and such doesn't seem to fit that

Crazyhair: the kidnapping started in science and ended in departures after the RD baton'd me

Crazyhair: I had to loop around many times and the RD was still chasing me

Meow19: where does it say "if you chase an antag for too long it becomes valid hunting" ?

Meow19: i don't have anything else i can tell you, they didnt red text you, they saved the officer

Meow19: their intentions were good, they witnessed the kidnapping (you did it in blatantly public place) and thats it.

I totally get that you can save someone from being kidnapped and all but I feel as the RD shouldn't have chased me through batons as non-sec and command at that. Meow19 told me that it was ok to save the officer being they witnessed the kidnapping and all but after checking the advanced rules I can say that this might've not been the case.

Quote

A good rule of thumb is that you can defend yourself and co-workers, but if the antag runs away, you shouldn’t be chasing them down - once they run you've succeeded in defending them. If you're not security, you should be more concerned with the victim than the antag - don't give chase to them after they've been saved. If someone is kidnapped, chasing them should be with a goal of rescue. Once you've rescued the person, security can apprehend the criminal, not a vigilante.

I have nothing wrong with the admin Meow19 or anything but I just feel that the RD went well out of his way to stop that kidnapping and I ahelp'd feeling as the RD was wrong in that situation. I'm perfectly fine with whatever resolution is given to this admin "complaint" but I just want clarification. I'm not making this with intent to shit-talk Meow or get them in trouble either. I just want another opinion on it.

 

Thanks for reading this or attempting this despite my grammar, spelling and writing skills in general.
