[d20 Modern / 4CtF] Windy City Mutants OOC

[Krizzel]

A quick look over the characters shows some minor quibbles, but I'll get to those tomorrow. At the moment I'm concerned about things that are missing:

Lorenzo needs to pick a feat.

Linh needs at least a paragraph of bio/history so I have some idea of her. She can work at Houseton Street Station, but needs a place to live.

Jonathan needs an occupation - I'd suggest either Criminal or Athlete. You could get Brawl that way and take that feat chain, which is more classical 'streetfighting.' Take martial arts if he's really more of a...martial artist You could also develop both, though remember you can't use them together (I am trying that route in Gangs of Texas).

I'm thinking Oak Grove/Lincoln high.

Just be warned that Oak Grove (and Lyonsdale) are wealthy areas - they have a lot of police, who are well armed and tend to harrass anybody who looks like a troublemaker.

1st : It's Jonathon, not Johnathon
I want to make Jonathon into a martial artist eventually, A "RYU/Ken" kidna guy (Remember the old streetfighter game?).

Yes, Kit, hanging with the twins I suppose you could say.

And I know it's a wealthy area, that's the REAL reason I picked it (Kit goes 'yeah right'. ), b/c his parents are wealthy and fairly well known. Besides, the cop'll pick on him anyway cuz he's a 'suspicious-looking' black guy who fits the description of basically every male black criminal in the city (According to those damn racist cops in this city.. Grumble Grumble).

And I'm still deciding between criminal and Athlete. I dont really want Brawl, b/c it doesn't work together with combat martial arts very well, but the only reason to go Criminal is rebelling against his parents/pissed off at the world in general.
Neither the bonus feats or skills from the occupations does much for me, so I'm just going to pick for RP sake. I highly doubt he'ld be an athlete, cuz it was the jocks who were always picking on him in the first place.

Well athlete doesn't mean he has to be a jock. He could be an underground athlete....underground fighter kind of thing if he wanted to be. It could just mean that he has the basic skills to be an athlete. Also if you pick a class skill that you already have, then you get a plus 1 bonus to it.

Hey you mixing up the worlds here? =) Its Gangs of Texas thats got the racial/ethnic tension going on dere hehe...

So his parents are wealthy but he's going to dress like he's a part of a gang? Or is he going to be a snazzy upperclass dresser? It will make a big difference on the "profiling".

As far as money and all that. Ah, what are our wealth scores?

Okay, I picked my additional feat (forgot that I was still thinking about that - thanks!) and added a few of the locations into my background. Anything else, just let me know

I need to hear from people in this thread about where you live and where you work/go to school before I start you off.

Macario lives in Calumet Park and goes to school at Kaufmann. He works part-time at a small supermarket in South side. He spends most of his time in the biggest public park in the area, or in the library as I stated above.

Am I missing anything?

Exactly. We're all about the classism here

Anyway, I was thinking of Athlete as the 'underground' athlete for you. But whichever. You don't have to actually use the skills/feats if you don't want to. Or if there's an occupation you can think of that isn't in the book, I'll take a look and stat it up (martial artist would pretty much be an athlete, though perhaps giving one of the MA feats instead of brawl).

 

[Krizzel]

TBD once everyone has their occupations and bios. I'm basically going to fudge the 2d4 roll towards whatever end I think is appropriate for the character.

Also, wealth as I'm going to use it represents your personal wealth - the money and buying power that you actually have and is yours. Stacy and Lana probably won't have high Wealth bonuses - they're in school after all. But what they can get their parents to buy for them, get allowance, etc. is a different story. Really it will only become important if you want to get something without your parents knowing.

So how was my first post? I was going for sweet, but I fear she may have come off as cutsie.
