That is a shame Thanee, I would have loved to run a game with you again. You rocked in TST. Hopefully we can game again sometime.

In the books, it talks a lot about how hundreds of Species are present in the Burbs. I want to capture that, with a large diversity of races.
Oh...groovy. I had thought when you were talking about just using the Basic book and Japan you were talking about D-Bee races as well. But cool I will look and see what I can do. Anything in particular you want to stay away from (MDC creatures and the like)?

Those yes. If it's one of those Uber-Demons from a forbidden Rift zone, I'd have to be a bit worried on that. But anything else is pretty much in reason.
DralonXitz said:
Yeah I normally restricted my players to SDC creatures. (But then they can be pretty kick butt all by themselves.
) The MDC races caused a rise in threats needed to challenge them. Actually I was thinking maybe a Achilles Neo-Human from South America 2, but would want your okay first. They are SDC but have the ability to 'juice' themselves to MDC with Psychic energy. They are also eugenic super-psychics. And I figure their abilities might put them in the range you didn't want us to go. But I mainly like them for their backstory.
As a #2 choice I thought maybe a True Atlantean, if that is okay?
(Good stats and a little something hidden but nothing outrageous.)

Graylock, Techno-Wizard Bounty Hunter
Background:
Graylock, or David Grier was never a big man. He was always short, even by normal standards. Born to a family of near humans that Rifted in from another dimension generations ago, he grew up being ridiculed for his size by his peers. That was until he discovered technology. David Grier had suddenly developed the ability to 'talk' to machines that had been used to build the village where he grew up. He was able to diagnose them and help repair them. His family was grateful for his ability, but those jealous of him were angered. They started to whisper about him being a demon, a witch or any manner of other horrible monikers that marked him as different. What didn't help this was his parents, who were secretly Techno- Wizards, had been teaching him to develop his ability. This ridicule didn't help his frustration level.
See, David was a complainer, a perfectionist complainer. If something wasn't exactly right, he would complain. A lot. His two older brothers tried to help him with this, but it wasn't enough. Finally, David had had it. Deciding that the reason people were angry was that he wasn't perfect, David, calling himself Graylock, decided to go out and learn whatever it was that would make him perfect. Unfortunately, his searches cost money, which he didn't have much of. When trying to earn money and knowledge, one of his benefactors asked him to do a 'cleaning'. Finding this to his liking, Graylock started his path on his way to bounty hunting. However his passion remains finding that perfection.
Personality:
Graylock, likes to complain. Or rather, he is easily frustrated, and complains because of it. If something is not right, he will let you know about it. Otherwise, he is generally a nice guy. Very business like when working though, especially when working on a vehicle. He can not stand being interrupted then. Though he has lived under the foundation of frontier towns, his experience in CS owned territory has taught him that the CS is in a sad state. They want to push down the very thing that keeps them in business, so to speak. Not that Graylock himself doesn't have his problems with D-Bees, but since he technically is one, he is much more tolerant than any average CS citizen.
Physical Description:
Graylock has very short brown hair and blue eyes. He is very short and thin however, belying his age of 24 years. It is difficult for his employers to take him seriously, but his results speak for themselves. His clothes are practical and even when dressing nice for a business meeting, he carries some sort of tool in his pockets. Especially his Laser Distancer. He feels safe with it, somehow.

Okay I have the basics down for what I am thinking. So it is still rough. And the background is still being worked on, but should be done soon.

I'm starting to wonder that myself... Hopefully we can get this one running soon. I'd like to see if Dralon runs a Rifts game as good as I've seen others by him.
