Sold!
Actually now is as good a time as any to re-introduce the cast of characters and the one new face in the group. Closer to Game Day I'll give a brief synopsis of the events that bring us up to the start of the game. Anyhoo the PC's are...
Elizabeth "Lizzie" Jameson - Daughter of the British Provisional Governor of Mars, this girl has seen more fighting and adventure than most soldiers in the Royal Army, much to the consternation of her father. Her quick wits and quicker rapier have gotten her out of almost every scrape she's gotten herself into.
Sir Budrajah Gurung, KCIE, D.C.M. - Gurkha bodyguard of Lizzie, Budrajah once served in the Royal Army under her father. He has come along on her many adventures doing his best to keep her alive. This is usually occasioned by him killing large piles of evil-doers with his cutlass and kukri.
Captain Sir Carson Umbridge, KCMG, D.S.O. - The good Captain had the misfortune to have his first command blown from the sky on her maiden voyage (through no fault of his own and thankfully while nobody was aboard). But he has soldiered on anyway and always led his friends to victory, most recently on a rescue mission to the wild jungles of Venus. Now he is about to have his dreams come true when he takes command of his new ship: The Indomitable.
Dexter "Tex" Croft - This big game hunter from Texas came to Mars to escape his creditors and found himself thrust hip deep into one adventure after another. His continued association with the British Crown Colony has garnered him a clientelle of rich aristocrats who call upon his skills as a guide and a close band of friends who rely upon his Sharps "Big Fifty" rifle to bring death to their enemies from afar.
Carlotta Morales Sanchez - "De-Frocked Spanish Nun Turned Pirate" sums it up nicely. Originally assigned to the wildlands of Mars by the Church in order to bring God to the heathen Martians, Carlotta found herself going native. Ever since her arrest/rescue by Captain Umbridge, she has placed her skills as a Sky Galleon pilot in the service of the Crown. At least until something better comes along.
And introducing...
Professor Angus MacTaggart - Once an engineer in the British Royal Navy as well as the holder of the Navy Heavyweight Pugilism title, Professor MacTaggart now spends his time using his skills as a mechanic and chemist to develop new weapons and ordinance for the British Sky Galleon fleet on Mars. He's learned that his innate toughness is always an asset when one of his experiments in the field of demolitions goes awry.
For Game Day, as it stands, I've got Cthulhu's Librarian signed up for Budrajah and (I think) Toras reprising his role as Lizzie. That leaves Old One, Nakia, Kylekatern and Old One's pal (I don't recall if he's got an ENWorld or Game Day handle, Old One) to pick their PC's.
For those playing in the "Preview Game" at All Fun & Games, let me know who you want to play but I'll be giving first dibs to players who've played certain PC's in the past. IIRC, this means that:
Jon Potter = Captain Umbridge
Belen Umeria = Budrajah
AdamantineAngel = Tex
If Lola is still following this thread then she's welcome to come play Carlotta again if she so desires.
