Gaming W/Jemal: Mutant Rising OOC (Game has started!)

Gordon becomes a living crystalline humanoid (similar to the crystal golem pic I posted), just added in the fact that the crystal pushes through his pores to envelop him. I'd imagine it would be quite painful every time it occured.

Jemal, it looks like I'm going to have to bow out of the game due to the amount of work I'm going to have at school this quarter.

Sorry.

Speaking of workload, be advised that I'll be away from my computer tuesday and wednesday next week. Travelling off into the woods to look for some casings, don't you know.

On another tack, here is Nighshift's finished background : Let me know what you think!

-------------------------------------------------------------
CHARACTER INTRO

Mitchell Rawling is a white-haired, no-nonsense night watchman. He's always been fit for his age, for which he blames a regular training routine, the love of a good woman and God in general; frankly, the daily exercise he gets doing his job at Metro University doesn't hurt either. Lately though - lately he's been feeling *extremely* fit. Healthy. Downright *eager*. His reflexes, his stamina, his presence, *everything* is on an upward curve! Oh, and he can bring objects to him, <snap> just like that. Now that can't be natural.

Found out this perticular tidbit during a break and enter : a fwoosh, a dark, streaky blur and the gun that was IN A LOCKED BOX, down the lowest drawer on the right was now IN HIS HAND, ready to use (and you just *know* the unrepentant bullets were stored in another part of the room entirely, don't you?). Hell of a reveille. Things like that, weird things, have been happening a lot more lately -- or maybe it's him that notices them more keenly now that *he* is weird? That frozen guy in the park for example, or stories of floating houses over in China, molemen in the sewers of Sumatra, that Jenny kid over by 4th... It doesn't take a Ridgway to figure out *something* is going on, and that he's a part of it, somehow.

Government is bound to do something eventually, to put up a call : got *every* confidence. In the meantime though, they'll need people like him, people willing to keep the peace and patrol the borders until they manage to pull their collective thumbs out. He's had a full life till now, what with the war, marrying the right woman, raising a daughter, keeping food on the table, and all the little things that make life a thing worth living... Well. Doesn't look like it's over, does it?

-------------------------------------------------------------
PERSONALITY
The steady, serious Rawling of old is presently being impacted by serious surges of adrenaline flowing through his system. He'd thought he'd put his charging days behind, settled into a steady rhythm... but apparently not. He's only gone on a few "patrols" yet, but he's acually *enjoying* this vigilante stuff, the hurried beat of a worried heart, the power, the risks (oh, the risks...). Steady hand stays the course, as they say... Going to need a lot of hands. (Did I mention he has a very dry sense of humor?

)

Binder Fred, happy days of chocolate to you all!

Thanks. The advisement people at my school decided to strong arm me into taking a full course load this quarter which means that I could only play in a game or gm a game, but not both.

Pfft. Wimp. One semester I worked full time and did a full course load. Of course I was sick for a month afterwards but that's probably unrelated. <_<

i'll miss ya rellique. feel free to pop back if your load lightens.

sry all about the downtime, had a bad net connection for a couple days.

Uh...Sorry, I'm confused : are you saying long range attack teleports, Only on inanimate objects, ARE acceptable?

If not, I think I'll go with the deep connection/prolonged contact to justify the long ranged and Reversible aspects of his Summoned Weapons array. And Yes, that means he's slept with/carried arounnd for several days a whole set of handcuffs, rope and C4 blocks (three guesses where he slept on those nights ). He's not presently sure exactly how long the contact has to be, but it's definitively longer than a few hours... Good?

No, I'm saying no long range attack teleports. Summoning objects is different. rest looks good.

So he could only add a "power stunt" alternate power to his array if he'd specifically described infusing that object beforehand? What, no "Thank God I thought to infuse my nail clippers : Just the thing to defeat PODOPOLIS, THE FOOT THAT WALKS LIKE A MAN <echo, echo, echo>"?

(LOL, actually, with the prolonged contact justification, nailclippers COULD work!).

You don't neccessarily have to specifically describe it, but it does have to make sense to me that it would've been something your character spent a reasonable amount of time with and/or be 'attuned' to.

Now I ask you, Mr president, was there or was there not talk of subsadized Immunity purchases in a globaly recessionary market?

Aging, Disease, and Fatigue effects would normaly cost 7 pts, but i'll give it to you as a 5 point Immunity based on being ever youthful and healthy

Well, things look to be coming along fairly well, does anybody have anymore questions? How do you guys feel about starting soon?
