    Lord Synobazz - Hailing from a world that practices a form of neo-feudalism, Antonin Rohan-Moffat, 13th Baron of Synobazz reigns over a bayou colony plagued by a history of ships mysteriously disappearing on their way to or from the regional spaceport. This has led to long-standing accusations against his otherwise proud family & their vassals of being reivers who profit at the expense of the worlds' other colonies. Given the family is known for collecting historic sports vehicles and memorabilia, it is little surprise Synobazz took an interest in F-Zero, but it was his family's cavalier disregard for others' perceptions that led to his decision to become a pilot himself instead of doing the respectable thing and merely sponsoring a team. He spent an exorbitant amount of money commissioning a centuries-old British automotive company to design the body of the Wild Card, so named because of its color scheme (black and white with red & gold details), which come from his family's shield.

    Basically, this character is expanding on Lord Cyber and the Synobazz courses from F-Zero: Maximum Velocity, which is set 25 years after the main games. MV has a handful of characters who are in one way or another successors to racers from the main games, so I figured why not go in the other direction and make a predecessor for an MV pilot? Antonin would look like Cyber (that is to say, one mask away from being a Gundam antagonist), with a short haircut and palette-swapping the dark green of his outfit to red. His shield would be a combination of the two noble families' I used for his name; a French family for Cajun flavor and a Lowland Scots Clan historically involved with the border reivers. With the added bonus that their colors evoke a typical playing card deck, since Cyber's car was named the Sly Joker, so the Wild Card name kind of brings it all full circle. The vehicle would look like a hovercar made by Morgan Motor Company (in MV's time its supposed to be kind of a fad to make the vehicles look more like cars, with the Joker's fluff text specifically mentioning being based on photos of old race cars).

    I think your racer name and stuff could be important info in a limited info game?

    @38thDoe the OP says it's going to treat that info as public knowledge, so...

    Of course, I'm not publicly sharing my pilot ability nor vehicle stats.

    Publicly usable isn’t public. I won’t know your racer name unless you tell me. Or you die somehow.

    @MrBlarney Will our pilot and machine names be publicly available to all or should we keep a closer wrap on those things?

  • InfidelInfidel Heretic Registered User regular
    Please post all the things, I don't mind.

    As mentioned in the opening post, pilots, machines, and the players associated with them will be public information. Machine stats and player abilities will not be public. This usage will be in the same format as was used in the first F-Zero PX game.

    I say this about any reboot/continuation show, just don't compare it to the original when you first watch; otherwise you won't be able to give yourself a chance to try and enjoy it.

    One hour until preseason is over!

    Get your final pilot and machine builds to me before the preseason closes, or I'll need to make a pilot and machine for you!

    Preseason has concluded!

    Since narrations will usually take one hour to resolve and write, I'll take that time today to make sure I've got my resolution systems are working as expected. Race 1 (Day 1) will open up in an hour!

    Hello, F-Zero fans! Mr. Zero here, ready to give you all of the news from the F-Zero PX championship. Twenty-six pilots have stepped up to the challenge for this year's competition. There's a lot of hopeful pilots in this year's preliminary league, and in six races' time, one of them will be crowned champion. We once again start the season here in Mute City, at the Dream's Gateway circuit. It's a track with a little bit of everything, and a great introduction to the world of F-Zero. But the pilots can't relax and treat this like some simple warm up. Get off to the wrong foot here, and you'll have a long ways to catch back up!

    Race Conditions: Mute City - Dream's Gateway is a balanced track that modifies no resolution features.
    4 Laps x {Balanced, Technical, Balanced, High Speed}

    Make sure you send me your orders for acceleration/max speed tuning {Max Acceleration, High Acceleration, Acceleration, Balanced, Speed, High Speed, Max Speed} and whether or not you will take on a rival for the race!

    Looks like Boost has a slight speed edge here.
    Pretty close to the 3 lap, 8 sector, 2 tech sector track I had supposed though.
    2.25 extra places passed per Boost upgrade, to 2 extra places passed per Grip upgrade.

    I believe in you! Woah, woah. Not that much. Yeah a bit more, there, like 19th place. That’s how much I believe in you.

    Best be mindful of the walls though, I seen some right powerful little mutant kids go straight through.

    I'm now realizing my missed opportunity of not fully leaning into Ricky Bobby for a character. I have regrets.

    But don't you all worry, I can still drive just as well without a cougar in the car.
