USH'S MATRIX GAME 2006 - Residual Self Image

Hello! I'm not Ush, obviously, but it's relevant to his Matrix RPG.

For those of you that don't know me, I play Ares, Hacker/Gunner, and have been playing most of Ush's RPGs on KMC since 2001.

Now, the purpose of this thread is simple: Residual Self Image (RSI).

"The plugs in your arms and head are gone. Your hair has changed. Your appearance now is what we call residual self image."

If you don't know what RSI is, it is an image of yourself projected into the Matrix. You're obviously not going to want to prance around the Matrix in your tattered Zion uniforms. Not at all stylish!

The average Matrix vibe is sleek shades and long trench coats, but you don't have to. Take into account that Neo, when wearing the trench coat in The Matrix, was packing a fair bit of "metal items," enough to blow away a full SWAT team and then some. However, Trinity, who normally goes without a trench coat, can easily pull at least one or two guns out of somewhere.

So, that being said, what is everyone wearing? Be as descriptive as possible. For example...

Ares is a Gunner, and so needs to hide all that hardware. Over a pair of camo army pants and a white sleeveless top, he wears a floor-length camo trench coat. He is unshaved and has short wavy hair, wearing a pair of large sunglasses (not Aviators, though). He wears combat boots as well. Underneath the trench coat he has numerous holsters for his machine pistols.

Also, if you were in the previous Matrix RPG 2003/2004, then detail out your outfit from then, if there's been any changes from then to now.

Balder has a full beard, mustache included. His real defining mark is a slash across his neck from an incident he tells no one about. He wears a dark grey sweatshirt and a short leather jacket. When armed, he wears a brown trenchcoat to hide his shotgun and a pistol holster reminiscent of old detectives movies, with a .44 Magnum in the holster sitting under his right arm.

Mors is completely cleanshaven, including his head. Unlike his player, he's African American, just for the Morpheus-like vibe. His outfit is a long black trench coat, leather, like Morpheus' coat but smooth. Underneath, he wears a black dress shirt and black dress pants, with a red-and-gold silk vest. At his belt is the sheath to his katana, a replica of the one he has in the Real World. His shades are round.

Klez is actually a clone replica of Sean Connery as James Bond in his white tuxedo. Though, might have to change the tux jacket to a white trench coat, for the purpose of hiding guns, unless I do as Trinity does and pull those things out of nowhere.

Burn I have decided, is Johnny Depp.
With longer dark hair, Not quite shoulder length though.
He wears a long Trenchcoat because he likes the way it swooshes. He also wears black jeans and an old Rock t-shirt, Some times AC\DC or Powerman 5000
He also is continually wearing an ipod with black earbuds in the matrix, and wears mirrored Aviator style Sunglasses.
His guns are strapped inside his trenchcoat, unless its a shotgun or an assault rifle, which he wears on his back.
He also has a constant, half crooked slightly insane smile...

I'm going with the fact that its how he's allways been.

As an add-on to my description of Ares, he now wears a golf cap, which is black.

(please log in to view the image)

Similar, but not the right color.

He is also played by Tom Cruise.

Falcon is going in wearing an average white T-Shirt, but over it he's wearing a black nylon vest that he conceals his Uzi's in. For his bottom half he's wearing a pair of faded black denim painters jeans (The ones with The loopholes in them to carry tools) Which he has his SMG's attached to, along with a pair of black and whote Air Forces. He also wears a a pair of dark shades.

Falcon haircut is that of a fade, with a Falcon shaved into The back. He is 6'2, and has a slightly ripped look, though nothing in The Arnold category. He resembles Blade, I guess.

San is Japanese, and she's pretty short (she's about 5'1", so really short). She has black hair that's about an inch or two shorter than shoulder-length, and is slightly wavy, and dark brown eyes. Inside the Matrix she wears a dark red sleeveless cheongsam-style shirt, black pants, and black boots that have low heels (about an inch). Since she doesn't really need to worry about hiding weapons, not to mention that the way she fights, it would simply get in the way, she doesn't bother with a trenchcoat. She wears a pair of small, thin oval-shaped sunglasses that have black frames and very dark red lenses. She looks the most like Utada Hikaru. Her weapons are twin tanto-style knives; the handles are stained a dark cherry color and are carved to look like there is a dragon wrapping around the handle.

(yeah...huge costume change for San here stick out tongue I decided her old one was boring, and considering that I was pretty much re-designing her in term of powers, figured I may as well in terms of her outfit as well)

Melis looks like Angelina Jolie, for starters. The shades are gunmetal gray, her hair is pulled back into a pony tail. Her outfit consists of a vivid green leather outfit that seems to consist of scales, like its alligator skin. Though not often, she will wear a green tweed trench coat that is the same color.

Her bo staff is intricately-carved with random designs, with gold metal tips.

Her twins butterfly knives are silver with bronze filligree that forms the shapes of cherry blossoms.

(Why is everyone making their characters look like movie stars, only Depp would suit the matrix, not Connery and surely not Cruise... stick out tongue Where's your originality?)

Firewall, as you may or may not already know stands at 6'11", he is built like a muscular brick wall and appears to be around in his mid-thirties. In the Real World he wears a sleevless version of the standard Zion military shirt that has seen more than it's share of cuts and abrasions... Atop his head is usually either a Bandana or a ripped beanie, mainly because he tries to look more intimidating as he's such a nice guy that he's a magnet to being picked on, he can sometimes be seen practicing mean faces in the mirror when he shaves...

In the the Matrix, he's a completely different person; like when the nice guys get behind the wheel of a car. He is calm, precise and methodical, never leaves himself open and fights barehanded to conquer his foes in combat.

He wears a zoot-suit style black trench-coat with a crimson dress-shirt and matching tie, a black suit-vest overlays them both. Underneath that can be seen black suspenders that support his black dress-pants, combined with a pair of contrasting safety boots well over a foot long a piece tipped with white toes. Upon his short haired-head sits a small Fedora-Style Hat, overall giving him the look of a 1920's gangster save for his Dark Tanned-skin.

Cloud is 6'4" he has blonde hair, blue eyes, and a small scar on his left temple as a memento from the last adventure. He wears black trousers, and black toe-capped shoes. He wears a Blue shirt, with a black trenchcoat (not a leather one anymore, but one like Mulder wears) Below this his two swords are cleverly consealled. The sunglasses are normal black sunglasses.

Here's something I whipped up quickly in Heromaker, I'm working on a sketch of him too.

Heh!

The movie stars thing is just a tradition that evolved in my games, Aliies.

Zomg, well...Guess what Allies? Larewnce Fishbourne, and Keanu Reeves would probably look excellent in the matrix.

Actually, I have a question about RSI's. If you've never been out of the Matrix, and thus never looked in a mirror, to allow your mind to envision what you look like, how come it looks the same as your real world body?

It doesn't- it looks the same as how you looked in The Matrix.

Yes, but how come the real world bodies are the same as the ones in the Matrix, theoretically you could look like someone completely different in the Matrix than you would in the real world.

Because your mind seems to map itself onto your real world physiology- presumably that is to do with nerves.
