this information has been marked for an update! As part of an on-going mission to improve our lore and make the site the best it can possibly be, we are in the process of re-writing some of our oldest pages to incorporate new ideas and improve quality! You are seeing this message because this is a page that is marked for improvements, but has not been completed yet. You may see a repost of this information in the coming days with improvements added.



As always, we appreciate your understanding while we grow our site. We hope that you enjoy your time with us.


When you’re filling out these templates, please make sure to fill out every field that’s relevant to the tech you’re submitting. If you leave a field blank, leave a note on why you left it that way. If you don’t, we may not accept your tech profile or we may ask you to fill out missing fields.

Also, please don’t deviate too much from the templates listed here. While we want to encourage creativity, we need to be able to quickly read and understand your technology. If you use especially complex formatting or you disperse your tech’s facts in a way that’s hard to understand, we may ask you to use the default template.

Please read the Tech Rules & Guidelines for rules regarding each template.​



WEAPON TEMPLATE

Model:
(What is the weapon's name or designation?)​

Size:
(What is the physical size of the technology? Is it big, small? Can it be concealed easily?)​

Legality:
(Is your weapon legal to the open public? Is it sold freely, or are there restrictions to certain factions? Or is it outright illegal even by the MegaCorp standards?)​

Faction:
(Are there any particular factions that favors this weapon? Are the patents owned directly by the faction? If so, how would the parent faction react to the use of their technology in the hands of other factions.)​

Manufacturer:
(Which megacorp designed this weapon? Different manufacturers generally favor certain productions of weapons or qualities. Ultimately it is the writer's decision whether to follow this trope or not.)​

Intent:
(This is the area where you, as a writer, must justify the creation of the weapons profile. Asides from the power balancing of the technology, its purpose will play a critical role in determining its approval. A piece of technology is more likely to be accepted if it fulfills a greater part of a story.)​

Description:
(Give a general overview of your technology here. Talk about what it looks like, how it feels, sounds, and behaves. What functionality does it have? Go into details and don't be afraid to have a little fun with it. List out what makes your weapon/armor/vehicle special from others; you may do so in point form.)​



ARMOR TEMPLATE

Model:
(What is the armor's name or designation?)​

Legality:
(Is your technology legal to the open public? Is it sold freely, or are there restrictions to certain factions? Or is it outright illegal even by the MegaCorp standards?)​

Faction:
(Are there any particular factions that favors this technology? Are the patents owned directly by the faction? If so, how would the parent faction react to the use of their technology in the hands of other factions.)​

Manufacturer:
(Which megacorp designed this armor? Different manufacturers generally favor certain productions of armor or qualities. Ultimately it is the writer's decision whether to follow this trope or not.)​

Intent:
(This is the area where you, as a writer, must justify the creation of the profile. Asides from the power balancing of the technology, its purpose will play a critical role in determining its approval. A piece of technology is more likely to be accepted if it fulfills a greater part of a story.)​

Description:
(Give a general overview of your technology here. Talk about what it looks like, how it feels, sounds, and behaves. What functionality does it have? Go into details and don't be afraid to have a little fun with it. List out what makes your weapon/armor/vehicle special from others; you may do so in point form.)​



VEHICLES

Model:
(What is the name of the vehicle, or its designation?)​

Vehicle Type:
(Is this vehicle a motorcycle, a car or a VTOL shuttle? Is it a military or civilian vehicle?)​

Passenger Capacity:
(How many crews are required to control the vehicle? How many passengers can come along for the ride?)​

Accessibility:
(Is your vehicle available to the open public? Is it sold freely, or are there restrictions to certain factions? Is it solely for the use of Corpo personnel?)​

Mobility:
(What's the maximum speed of the vehicle, and how fast can it accelerate in a short period of time? How does its handling fare on cruising speeds, can it take sharp turns easily?)​

Weapon Systems?:
(List the weapons the vehicle possesses. If this is not applicable, simply put N/A)​

Manufacturer:
(Which megacorp designed this vehicle? Different manufacturers generally favor certain productions of vehicles or qualities. Ultimately it is the writer's decision whether to follow this trope or not.)​

Intent:
(Justify the creation of the vehicle: is it to move a story line, add depth and lore to a faction or part of the city?​

Description:
(Provide a general description on the vehicle, how it looks or how it works. What makes it special, or is it an upgraded model of a generic vehicle? What functionality does it have? Is it still in production?)​



ANDROID TEMPLATE

Model:
(What is the name or designation of this unit?​

Class:
(Is it a combat droid? A protocol droid? Is it a laborer, or a medical droid? What is its role?)​

Ownership:
(Which of your PC's owns this droid? Otherwise, list the Faction which produces these androids.)​

Intent:
(Tell us why you made this! Is it intended for personal use? Are you going to sell it through one of your characters or a faction? Are you making it just to share it? Your intentions will influence how we rule on your technology, but please don’t stress about that. Just give us a quick sentence or two explaining your intent!)​

Locomotion:
(How does your droid move about? Does it walk on two legs, or on four? Does it scurry about on six buglike limbs, or does it roll around on tank treads or drive around on wheels?)​

Power Supply:
(What kind of power source does your droid have? How long does it last before requiring recharging, replacement, or refueling? Generic power cells and fuel cells are examples of simple power supplies.)​

Sensors:
(What kind of sensors does your droid have? How does it perceive the world around it? You only need to list exotic or unusual sensors – simple photoreceptors, short-ranged audio pickups, and basic touch sensors don't need to be mentioned, but things like thermal sensors and ultra long-range laser microphones do need to be written down. )​

Size:
(How tall is it? If does not walk upright, then how long or wide is it? Give us a feel for how big your droid is. Please use the metric system for your measurements.)​

Composition:
(What kind of metals, polymers, or other materials is your droid made out of? Please not that the same restrictions on armor apply here – you may not have a droid that is invulnerable!)​

Weapon Systems:
What kind of weapons, if any, does your droid have? Please describe them in some detail. Note that 'Heavy pistol' or 'Type X Rifle' does not provide detail – specify what manner of weapon your android has, how much ammunition or power it has for that weapon, and what kind of range and fire rate that weapon has, along with any other features worth noting. If the android utilizes any weapons approved on the board, please link it as well.)​

Tools:
(Anything non-combative goes here. Things like welders, datajacks, and other utilitarian things need to be mentioned!)​

Description:
(Describe your android in good detail here. Explain its function, the layout of its components, what tools and weapons it has, and anything else that comes to mind. You can only use features you've written down, so include everything you intend to use. You can make a simple list if a description gives you trouble.)​



MISCELLANEOUS TEMPLATE

Model:
(What is your device's name?)​

Ownership:
(Which of your PC's owns this device? Otherwise list the Faction which produces this device.)​

Intent:
(Tell us why you made this! Is it intended for personal use? Are you going to sell it through one of your characters or a faction? Are you making it just to share it? Your intentions will influence how we rule on your technology, but please don’t stress about that. Just give us a quick sentence or two explaining your intent!)​

Type:
(Is it a Computer? A welding tool? A cyberdecking keyboard? Tell us what kind of device it is.)​

Power Supply:
(What kind of power source does your device have? How long does it last before requiring recharging, replacement, or refueling? Generic batteries or electrical/fuel-based engines are examples of simple power supplies. Omit this part if it is not necessary for your device – ie, a crowbar doesn't have to have a battery.)​

Sensors:
(What kind of sensors does your device have? How does it perceive the world around it? Can it be used to gather data about the world around you? If so, then what sensors does it have to gather information with? If it has no sensors of any kind, omit this part.)​

Size:
(How big is it? Use the metric system if possible. Guesstimates like 'Palm-sized' or 'Head-sized’ are acceptable, but hard numbers are preferred.)​

Description:
(Describe your device in good detail here. What is its function? What can it do? What can't it do? Who makes it? Put in as much detail as you can. You can only use features you've written down, so include everything you intend to use. You can make a simple list if a description gives you trouble.)​
