I was thinking of making a retired US military medi-vac pilot who is now flying supply runs for the scientists working at the various Antarctic research stations. At level 3, he would be a Dedicated 2/Tough 1, with the Military occupation. Not sure about skills yet, but definitely Pilot and Medicine and maybe some Survival.

I have a tentative character ready to roll, depending on what it is you need from us at this time.

Ok, Nac, you're in.

That's everybody, eh? Sounds good...

Level 3, 25-point point-buy, average (as in '4 every odd level, 5 every even level for d8' hp), and the only equipment you have that works is your clothes, and any small water-proof objects that you could have taken on a plane with you in a pocket.

Military characters are discouraged, but former non-front-line-soldiers (like medi-vac pilots or MPs) are fine. Social characters won't get much use out of their best skills and abilities, but that's not to say that you'd be useless.

Post your characters here in any format you like, and I'll try to check over them, then post to a thread in the RG.

Current list of active players:
1.) Insight
2.) nopantsyet (great name, by the way)
3.) Zaarin
4.) Nac Mac Feegle
5.)*My friend, who will probably go by Ooga-Booga on the forums

I think I'll go straight tough 3.

Basic character concept: An ex-member of the Russian mafia in the U.S.S.R., he emigrated to the U.S. when it became apparent that the communist regime (and much of the corruption inherent in it that had made his position so profitable) would collapse. Upon arriving in America, he started up a small weapons store, which he owns and runs. He is now technically legal, but still sells weapons to "shady" people.

Nac: What would your character be doing on his way north from south armerica on a fairly standard airliner?

Insight: Looks good.

Everybody else: you know what to do.

Nac: Vacation sounds best, but a sale sounds like it might be good.

Insight: I have an idea for your trip north; visiting the family after several months of working in Antarctica...I guess it would be early summer (in the northern hemisphere), so the 4th of july might be a good reason for a reunion.

Everybody else: I've started work on getting the idea turned into an adventure, and ought to be ready on sunday or monday (I would be ready tomorrow, but I'll be busy all day).
