History Roleplay / EinsteinianRoulette

-->--'''piecewise''', the GM, referring to the amount of deaths and the need for more disposable convicts.

Einsteinian Roulette is a Roll To Dodge game on the Bay12 Forum that centers around the short lives and violent deaths of a group of inmates in the Hazardous Materials Requisition Corps or H.M.R.C. These inmates wake from stasis aboard the battleship "Paracelsus' Sword" and are immediately tasked by the omnipresent on-board computer Steve to complete ten incredibly dangerous missions to win their unconditional freedom. The missions usually take the form of retrieving various artifacts, investigating peculiar phenomena, or otherwise performing actions where traumatic amputation would be considered a favorable outcome.

* RollToDodge: Do I need to say it?

-->--'''piecewise''', the GM, referring to the recent deaths and the need for more disposable humans.

* {{Robosexual}}: One of the female characters (Feyri, a mercenary), is (supposedly) attracted to an inmate who had his brain thrown into a robot body.

* Transhuman: The large variety of cybernetics, genetic tweaks, and other... "Enhancements" (By special order of the Doctor) available... for a small sum of Tokens.

* CombatTencacles: Nekarios gets those after volunteering for experiments with Doc. They are quickly replaced by normal arms after he is very vocal about how he does not like the outcome.

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: During the first mission Feyri killed a giant alien automaton by power-sliding under it atop the corpse of one of her teammates, screaming "We mean you no harm!" as she did so, almost cutting it in half with her laser rifle sweep while the rest of her teammates scrambled. She also had a broken leg while doing that.
* Cyborg: Convicts that are too injured to continue become this as they are often have parts - occasionally their whole body, replaced with various robotic appendages and transplants.

->''"Claim I was joking. Try again, only less molestery. A lot less molestery."''
-->--'''Faith's player''', after a bad series of intelligence rolls made the character act like a molester.

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: During the first mission Feyri killed a giant alien automaton by power-sliding under it atop the corpse of one of her teammates, screaming "We mean you no harm!" as she did so. Did we mention she had a broken leg while doing that?

* DungeonBypass: It happened due to an accident during the fourth mission [[spoiler:which obliterated the dam Team B landed on along with Team A's building and both laser batteries, making the inmates' job considerably easier]].

* TooDumbToLive: A good number of the HMRC live by this trope. And die/get maimed accordingly.

* PoweredArmor: The Mark III and Battlesuit qualify, since they have both armor and a energy-powered exoskeleton.

* OhCrap: During Mission 4, Nekarios accidentally created a miniature star in his hand while standing on the vertical face of a hydroelectric dam, which then proceeded to destroy the dam, after atomizing the unfortunate Nekarios, who fell into it while running back up the dam.

* Multi-ArmedAndDangerous: Erik the Fanatical Cyborg in the Second Mission.

->"Welcome aboard, we're gonna need some more bodies. And by that I mean men. And by that I mean bodies."

* AnimalMotifs: Milno has the honey badger as his symbol.

* BerserkButton: Faith has a literal one of these.

* Cyborg: Convicts that are too injured to continue become this as they are often have parts, occasionally their whole body, replaced with various robotic parts.
* EpicFail: Rolling a "1" can and has resulted in everything from a medic trying to fix a dislocated shoulder via kicking the patient repeatedly to an attempted handshake devolving into one of the inmates laying on the floor sandwiched between two women, one of whom was naked (and a series of bad rolls from the people involved in the sandwich wound up with the man without his pants).
* ExplosiveLeash: Each inmate has a shock module implanted on their brain stem and spinal cord, allowing Steve to electrocute them to death at any time. More often used as a method of invoking painful spasms then anything else.

* ExtremeOmnisexual: Elizas wrestled a Jim (who by that point had a fully cybernetic body) for the sake of groping him, going as far as licking his faceplate and trying to reach suspicious areas with his hands. Even though Jim had nothing there but metal.

* Robosexual: One of the female characters (Feyri, a mercenary), is attracted to an inmate who had his brain thrown into a robot body.
* SnarkyInanimateObject: Steve, the WetwareCPU, is a snarky piece of processing power.

* TheMenInBlack: Men in Black Hazmat suits tend to show up and abduct characters who have had a bit too close of contact with xenobiological lifeforms.
* WetwareCPU: Steve, the omnipresent computer that acts as combination warden and drillmaster, is made of the brains of former inmates.

->-Faith

* ButYouScrewOneGoat:Elizas, among the many crimes that landed him in the HMRC, got it on with a tiger.

* AlmightyJanitor: The Armory Master. A woman who, over the course of the game, is revealed to have survived 27 missions without injury and is capable of literally shrugging off nuclear weapons, spends her time sitting in the armory kiosk reading magazines and occasionally causing grievous bodily harm to those who annoy her.
* Cyborg: Convicts that are too injured to continue as they are often have parts, occasionally their whole body, replaced with various robotic parts.

* TheMenInBlack: Men in Black Hazmat suits tend to show up and abduct characters who have had a bit too close of contact with xenobiological lifeforms.
* StopHelpingMe: Exceedingly common when it comes to medics. Mesk gained the nickname "The Kickboxing doctor" after trying to cure a drug overdose by kicking a teammate's ribcage in and Faith tried to fix a dislocated shoulder by simply yanking the other arm out of it's socket so they're even.

* QuestForSex: Elizas spent nearly every free minute going after one lady or another, a trend that eventually lead to is demise.

It can be found on the Bay 12 Forums [[http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=106279.0 here]], as well as the on-ship thread [[http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=108083.0 here]], which follows [[SarcasmMode our heroes']] exploits when they're not on a mission.

* HilarityEnsues: A given.
* GoneHorriblyWrong / GoneHorriblyRight: Too many examples to count. Most notably, a small star is accidentally created, permanently killing three characters.
* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: Feyri powerslides underneath a sentry bot riding Jim's corpse as she screams "[[BlatantLies We mean no harm!]]" and opens fire on its underside.
* ItMakesSenseInContext: Many of the descriptions given on the cast page.
* CrowningMomentOfFunny: Plenty!
* DeathIsCheap: As long as the brain is intact and recovered within a few hours, a character can be flash-frozen to near absolute zero, drained of blood, and decapitated for use as a football, with few side-effects. This trope is averted ''hard'' if the brain is destroyed, though, and even if a character is revived, depending on how much trauma their body received they will likely become a cyborg to some extent.

->-GM

->"HELLO CHILDREN! I'M A STRANGER AND I'M HUNTING FOR YOU RIGHT NOW! PLEASE COME OUT AND TALK TO ME! I PROMISE I WON'T MOLEST AND OR KILL AND EAT YOU, NO MATTER HOW DELICIOUS YOUR THIGHS LOOK IN THOSE SHORT PANTS! LETS ALL JUST GO AND HAVE A NICE TALK IN THIS CAVE OVER HERE WHERE I PARKED MY SPACE VAN! ALSO I HAVE CANDY!"
->-Faith AKA "The Worst Medic" Valentine.

->"Funny story. So, you got blown in half and kinda floated like a hilarious ragdoll superman over to the door. We all made it in by commando crawling like a pack of mildly brain damaged snakes and then Feyri thought it would be super cool to drag your corpse around for some reason. At first she said it was because she wanted a meat shield, and then she used you as a corpsey skateboard to, stay with me here, to powerslide under a giant homicidal metal diamond. Crazy huh?

->But after a while she dropped the whole pretense and started carrying you around like some sort of love struck Valkyrie. I tell ya, when Ivan put a gauss rifle round straight through your sternum, she was pretty freaked out."
