[Meta] Mercenary Suggestion Form

(Mr-Penguin) #1

I’m pretty sure that most of the regulars here in this sub-section of the forums know what a proper merc suggestion should look like, but for the newer ones, I’m just going to leave the standard format I use below.

I didn’t include Appearance, Sample Quotes, or anything else that would signify personality in my format, but you can add those if you want.

Copy the yellow section into your own thread, delete and replace everything in parentheses. Anything between the brackets are BBcode thingies that make the text look snazzy (italicized/bolded). Have fun (and try to be creative)!


[b](Merc Name)[/b]
Class- (Recon, Engineer, Assault, Fire Support, or Medic. Depending on the merc's abilities, this should be fairly straightforward.)
HP- (Anywhere from 80 to 200. Normally they all end in a zero (100, 150, etc.), but I've seen a few merc ideas where the HP ends in a five (105, 155).)
Speed- (This depends on the merc's HP. Higher HP mercs are slower, low HP mercs are faster. Refer to the Dirty Bomb wiki (http://dirtybomb.gamepedia.com/Mercs) for proper Speed numbers based on HP. If you don't know, leave this blank. 

[i]Profile-[/i]
(Backstory of the merc goes here if you want, but keep it short, no more than a paragraph. You can leave this blank. Alternatively, you can briefly summarize the merc's abilities and their role on the battlefield here. Or do both.)

[i](Ability #1)[/i]
Cooldown- (Make it appropriate for the ability.)
Duration- (Self-explanatory, can be left blank if a duration is inapplicable.)
(Describe what the ability does down here.)

(Repeat the above for secondary and tertiary abilities. Make sure to leave a space between each one.)

[i]Weapons-[/i]
Primary- (You get the idea. List of all weapons here: http://dirtybomb.gamepedia.com/Weapons ) If you're brave enough, you can create your own weapon, being sure to give us an idea of its stats.
Secondary- 
Melee- 

Notes
(Add any clarifying material or whatevs here. This entire section can be removed if necessary.)

If you can’t copy (or see, for that matter) what’s in the giant blob of code up above, here’s a non-weirdified version in the spoiler.

lol i wondered what was with the giant whitish blob in the center of your post at first. thumbs up for trying to unscrub the scrubs!

(Dysfnal) #4

Lol, I’m one of the people you’d probably consider a regular, and I’m not this professional

(Mr-Penguin) #5

What can I say? I like to be neat and organized when it comes to posts on the internet.

(SweetGenocide) #6

I never seen such organization in my lief, mostly in other forums some people made no sense for ideas or general chat <-<

(Brycko) #7

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU STANDARDS ARE BEAUTIFUL

(Mr-Penguin) #8

You’re welcome!

(Mr-Penguin) #9

Ok, I added some self advertising of this thread on the bottom of the template.

Assuming somebody asides from me actually uses this, that is.

(Naonna) #10

Doin’ good work.

(Mr-Penguin) #11

Yay!

(Dysfnal) #12

Wait, this should be an announcement, no? Always at the top of the list for newbies to see

(Mr-Penguin) #13

I dunno. It doesn’t seem that people use it that much. ;_;

I could always ask one of the mods though.

(Dysfnal) #14

@Eox @Amerika @Ardez
your thoughts?

(Ardez1) #15

@derpypenguinz19 @Dysfnal

Done. Good work :slight_smile:

(Dysfnal) #16

Yay!

(Mr-Penguin) #17

Yay! Thanks @Ardez !

I wasn’t expecting this to happen, but now I can get a bit more usage out of this old format!

(NuclearCats) #18

I have a full developed backstory for my merc idea, and summarizing it would leave a lot out of what would make his personality

(Ardez1) #19

A guide isn’t a requirement. Just helpful tips to try and keep a format. You can still do whatever you would like and as long as it doesn’t break any forum rules you are good to go.

Pretty much this. Feel free to add what needs to be added to get the idea across.
