Here is the OOC listing for IWTF. It explains Common Sense Points.

As for the SR comp, what you're allowed to use out of there is the edges/flaws and the metavariant races and ghouls types.

[Fastball]

Thanks, and good idea.

[fistandantilus4....]

Thanks for saying so. :)

First ideas to Sunny.

[ Spoiler ]

Born in Miami, 2040, and lived there ever since. Parents are a human couple. Father cook who runs his own small restaurant, mother working as a nurse in a local hospital. Both are still alive and not completly aware how Sunny makes his living. Sunny has two sisters, both elven, who are married and have kids. (yeah, many plot hooks).

Sunny served in the Miami Police Deparment - first as beat cops, after a while he qualified for a SWAT team (that's when he got his bioware installed). In his free time he worked as a cook for his father, 'cause simply likes to do so (sort a family tradition).
Duing a firefight with scavengers in the wake of Crash 2.0 he was hit hard and lost his right arm.

The black spot on his vest is his gambling "problem": he enjoys rolling the dices or playing poker a little bit too much and quickly got indebted by the Mafia in his younger years. La Famila forced him to do them some favors, what was investigated by IA during 2065 -he was kicked out of the police and worked as muscle for the Mafia, did some runs and helped old buddies with their smuggling works from the Caribbian League into CAS.

Real Name: Evan Solson - nicknamed Sunny since childhood
Father: Jake T. Solson, elf. Owner of "Solson's", a restaurant in Southeastern Miami
Mother: Betty Sue Solson, born [give me a good ol' Southern name], elf.

Sister #1: Eve Jackson, elf. Married with Brian Jackson, human. Kids: Cynthia and Joanne. The couple runs his own restaurant, "Miami Sunrise", which is a hotspot for tourists nightlife.
Sister #2: Mary-Ann Suleison, elf. Married with Jamal Suleison, elf. Kid: Jamal jr. Mary-Ann works as teacher on a private school, Jamal is trainer of the school basketball team.

Cool, now we've got a cook, two ex-cops, and two compulsice gamblers. Not to mention an emergency medic. I love the restaurant idea. How old is the char?

Neit Background

[ Spoiler ]

Mario was born and raised in Rio de Janeiro. At the age of 13 his family moved to Miami. Mario hated school, he never really fitted in, often the target of jokes and bullies his obvious mixed heritage often showed. Many afternoons were spent in the school cafeteria avoiding people and stewing over all the things he would do to them if he got the chance.

At age 16 he got his shot at retribution, after hobbling away from being hustled outside the school a sedan with heavily tinted windows pulled up. The door swung open and a well dressed man in a suit offered a ride. Grateful he climbed in. The man offered him 200 nu-yen there and then for as much information on Claude Marlini the biggest bully in school. He would have given him that information for free. He also offered 100 more for any additional information that might help them.

Mario began to tail Claude in the following week picking up tons of information which he handed over, the following week Claude vanished; no-one heard anything from him again.

Mario began to take more interest and notice in things around him, learning to sit quietly in a corner, making himself mostly unnoticed or simply part of the furniture. Taking notes of the various people he began to stalk some of the bullies who had picked on him over the years, leaving notes with private unwanted information. The thrill of watching the people who had beaten and teased him become uncomfortable and edgy thrilled him and pushed him further.

It was around this time he started to notice that cafeteria cats which used to avoid him wander over for scratch. Often when he was plotting or stalking someone he would see a cat or the image of one in his peripheral vision. When setting up false meetings with various people offering them the chance to meet their tormentor he found with a little focus he could spook them even more.

As the year passed he moved on to bigger and better things, at least in his mind, after completing school he decided to skip out on going to college. From contacts he had made over the previous few years he began to work for various groups both legal and illegal, trailing various people for starters before moving on to collecting bounties.

Mario has started to develop a reputation as a reliable tracker, good at both bringing in live bounties and putting fear into those needing to be kept in line via cat and mouse games.

Mario’s parents still live in the Miami area, he keeps contact with them but his running around often leaves him away a lot of the time. They know little of what he does. They think he works for a private security company doing investigative work.

Mario has a number of contacts both legal and underworld, from KE to the Mob.

Nice background, Tash. 5 CSP. I especially like how you describe the way that you "find" Cat.. or more apropos... how Cat finds you. :)

[Meriss]

So are you full then Plan B?

[fistandantilus4....]

Meriss : Relaying from Plan B

We're at 6, you would make seven, so it's pretty full up. She wasn't expecting htis much response so fast. She's said that she's working on a second game already though, in Cape Town, and magic heavy. So I'm thinking that means you get first billing there if you're interested.

[Meriss]

Hmm That might be nice. I would be interested, but I'll have to redo some of my char concepts. I stink on ice at making convincing African characters. (although Rave could work in almost any ethnicity) I don't want to make her lose sleep over it though. I'm quite happy in my current game, so tell her that if she wants to ease into it, I'm willing to wait.

[Lady Door]

LOL.. remember that Cape Town is a port city. You could be from anywhere. Thanks for being so cool with it. The Cape Town game is something I've wanted to do for awhile... with it's exotic location, constant civil unrest, awesome dragon-ness. I'm so on it. :D

[fistandantilus4....]

At least write up the back ground. We have a high mortality rate going on in IWTF. maybe we could squeeze you in there. The concept sounded interesting for the character.

[Meriss]

Cool fist, where do you want me to post Rave's background? I don't want to clutter up this thread.

Plan B: Sounds like fun, count me in when you're ready to roll.

[Lady Door]

Sorry.. I have the Camp Town races song stuck in my head now and it's distracting me from posting...

.. go ahead and post it here. I can copy and paste it to the other thread once I start it.

[Meriss]

Alright Plan B you're the boss lady. Later today ok? My char notes are still in my skull and I don't want to be interupted typing them on this public comp.

....do dah, do dah, Camptown races five miles long, OH de do dah day!
(I couldn't resist! :))

[Lady Door]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

*runs screaming away*

;) Sounds good. Yes, you must keep your precious character away from public, prying eyes. You never know who may be watching...

the dragons are everywhere...

[Tashio]

Yea and she has me to bug about Cape Town and South Africa in general :)

[fistandantilus4....]

[Lady Door]

Okay... so just to summarize... the game will start as soon as I get everyone's characters either posted or PM'd to me. Let's all shoot for sometime today or tomorrow, soka?
