Dark*Matter: Discovery

[iwatt]

Yup, I still need players, so go ahead.

I'm interested as well. If I understand you correctly you want some run-of-the mill characters who are going to get exposed to some weirdness?

 

[Falkus]

That's right (though run of the mill is pushing it for 32 point buy PCs in a heroic class. More hasn't actually been exposed to real UFOs/Magic/etc.)

Larry is a Confidence Artist. He lies and cheats and scams. He doesn't have much listed in his rap sheet, although he did spend some time behind bars as a juvenile. He aquired some minor unsavory skills there. Larry is very lucky. Whenever he really needs a distraction, something happens to fall down and break. This luck has gotten him out of many a tight jam in the past.

Excellent, you're in. Put him up in the Rogue's gallery, and we'll be starting once everyone else has their character sheets in.

Cool. Larry is you're run of he mill con artist. He still is a small fish. Reason to be at the library: He's dating one of the librarians (not exclusively ) and he was supposed to pick her up.

Eek.. I guess I better get a move on. I'll have to recreate Nick Wells, since I misplaced what I had written down. Should have it done pretty quick now that things are moving along here.

Hey, this is still going! Cool!

I have an idea for a journalism student interning at a local paper who's wanting to become an investigative reporter. Smart or Dedicated, most likely, possibly MC'ing Charismatic later.

I'll do up some stats, if that sounds like a workable concept. One question, is the Wild Talent feat allowable? Perhaps as a latent ability that hasn't expressed itself before game start?

 

[industrygothica]

I've got the appearance and background at home on a file. I'll get it up when I get off work in the morning... Let me know if I forgot anything.

Appearance: At 42 years old, Nick still manages to keep in decent shape, despite his reclusive tendencies. His reddish-brown hair looks as if is always in need of a trim, and his full mustache almost completely hides his mouth. He prefers his classic horn-rimmed eyeglasses over contact lenses.

Background: Once a well known archaeologist, Nicholas Wells has since retired from the field. An expert researcher, he can be found most days in his dimly lit office under a desk lamp pouring over some obscure tome concerning the occult. His fascination for the subject was born in Egypt several years ago when his company turned up some compelling artifacts that have since disappeared, along with his long time partner Cliff Kenzington. While officials believe his partner's disappearance was voluntary, and that the artifacts in question have since been sold on the black market, Nick desperately wants to believe that something more sinister is afoot. He simply can't imagine that his old friend would betray him. As the years pass, however, Nick is slowly coming to the realization that the officials are probably correct.
Divorced for the last five years, Nick still counts his ex-wife as one of his close friends. Together they have a 13 year old daughter, Rebecca, who desperately wants to know her reclusive father better.

Sounds good.

One question, is the Wild Talent feat allowable? Perhaps as a latent ability that hasn't expressed itself before game start?

The Wild Talent feat is allowed, under the condition that it's not actively understood thing by the character at present (IE, He doesn't know that he's a psionic).

Industry, your stats look good, doesn't look liek yhou missed anythig.

Great. I just got home and went ahead and edited the sheet with his appearance and background.

Do you have a deadline for choosing what characters are in or not?
