Fanog,

Really didn't know anything about Merits or Flaws so I didn't take any. Suggestions, comments, advice are welcome as I'm building the character with only an understanding of the underlying system (having played Aberrant and Trinity).

Looking for an Athlete / superathlete, wondering why he is so good and beginning to explore those boundaries.

OOOOOOO

*"Compelling" would be my specialization; my idea of it is that Arctor has an uncanny ability to hold people's attention. Even if a person forgets about him, they still remember a story he's told or a song he's sung.

Background details to come tomorrow, for now feel free to look over the character and see if there's anything missing/fubared that needs a correction.

Edit: Fixed the freebie points, planning on posting background info soon.

Keia,

the sheet looks good so far. I don't think you missed anything vital. Mickerus reminded me to explain the Linguistics Knowledge: for every dot in here, you can speak and read/write one addititional language. Don't know if you would want to, but that's up to you.

Mickerus,

looks fine as well. Only problem is that you used 15 Freebies. For this game, I only gave each of you 10, because you don't have to worry about Arete, Spheres and Quintessence.

Kuroshidaku,

I think you have two more dots to spend on skills. Since it's your 'Good' category, you have 9 dots to spend. Also, what kind of Expression and Performance have you learned? Maybe you could add that somewhere.

Looks good everyone. Nice that you all have dots in Dream. That should give me something to work with.

I opened a thread in the Rogue's Gallery for everyone to post their sheet and background. It's located here:

Keia,

you don't really miss out on much by not having any merits and flaws. The fact that not everyone has access to them is one of the reasons why I'm not really in favor of including them. Just some examples to show you what they could do:

Merit examples: Ambidexterity (never suffer off-hand penalties), Iron will (better resistance to mind-influencing effects), etc.

Flaw examples: Hard of Hearing (penalties to check to hear something), Phobia, Nemesis (someone wants to see you hurt), etc.

Basically, merits are a way to circumvent the rough nature of dots, while flaws give you something in return for accepting certain impairments. I think they add a level of detail that's not really necessary, which is the other reason I didn't include them as a whole.

Fanog

 

[kuroshidaku]

Thanks for spotting the typo Fanog. What sort of expression are you after (examples)?

Ta,
Kuro

Board down-time has gotten this game off to a slow start, but I'm hoping to make good progress this weekend.

Expect an e-mail from me today or tomorrow with some additional questions and info regarding your characters. I'll set up an IC thread and introduce characters as soon as they're complete and OK'ed by me. Let's get this one going.

Loxmyth is the only one who hasn't replied since I announced the players, but that might be the fault of the board being down. I'll send him an e-mail to tell him he's in.

Fanog

 

[Mickerus]

Cripes! Heh, I thing using fifteen freebie points is something of a reflex, really. I'll go back and edit my character, it should be finished soon enough.

Hi Fanog, I didn't realize the site was back up, sorry for the delay. I will have my character up by tomorrow, if that is fine. Incidentally, I didn't receive your emails (if you've sent any, of course). My email is loxmyth@hotmail.com.
