OOC: Virus, The OOC thread for the Virus game. Options

[TinkerGnome]

Here's the OOC thread.

The IC thread can be found here.

There will be a background post or two made in the IC thread before the game officially starts. Feel free to hang out here and discuss characters in the meantime. The characters I'm fully expecting to play are:

Azaezel, male human assassin-type physad
Kyle, male human 12 year old genius
Skooter, male ork shaman
Daemon, male changeling ork ex-ganger carthief/street racer
Mr. Fix-It, male human techie
Rage, human mundane

In addition, the following may join us:

Elizabeth Mödel, female ork physad
Other PCs created after now

Anyone who comes up with a non-overlaping PC between now and game start MAY be eligible to join. Because of the rapid pace I'd like to keep and the relative party size independance of the first few posts, I may allow another character or two. Other than that, I will reactivate the recruiting thread when more players are needed.

Evening, all. I'm playing Kyle, and will probably end up posting about twice as much as anyone else here save the GM. Really a pity, given how rarely I actually manage to say anything worth saying ;)
Just warning everyone that from next Tuesday to next Saturday my usual manic posting rate will be somewhat slowed; I ought to be able to keep to about a post/day without missing more than a day, maybe two, but that's a busy time. Other than that, though, I'll be golden as far as keeping the pace goes.
I look forward to working with you all.

What's poppin everyone. I'll be playing Rage, and the name should be all I need to say. A kid born on the streets, and will most likely die on the streets. Sort of your average joe I guess you'd say. We'll see how he fairs.

[Glyph]

Hey all. I'll be playing Skooter, a hustling street sorcerer (shamanic), a hyper kid who knows how to survive on the streets - whether he'll survive this run is another story. ;)

[Little Tim]

I'm playing Mr. Fix-it, an orc who is good with his hands and mean with his fists.

[Digital Heroin]

I'll be playing Daemon, a changeling orc that looks like something out of an anime, who happens to be a car theif and streetracer. Who knows, maybe he'll live to be a rigger one day... well... if anyone survives...

[Kagetenshi]

Kyle will probably survive, if only because someone paid enough to have him scraped off the pavement and put in a jar for their use.
Or at least that's what he assumes :)

~J

[Kurb]

Well I hope most of us survive. But if not, hey its all good!

[TinkerGnome]

Game on.

[TinkerGnome]

Oh, yeah. For those with backgrounds, the bounty was 10 karma. Record and spend as needed (email the new character sheets to me). Also, there's a 5 karma bounty for the first person to figure out the basis for the game.

Azaezel, male human assassin-type physad
Kyle, male human 12 year old genius
Skooter, male ork trickster shaman
Daemon, male changeling ork ex-ganger carthief/street racer
Mr. Fix-It, male human techie
Rage, male human mundane
Fink, male changeling dwarf rat shaman

Well there is an old Star Trek episode where a disease wipes out everyone over the age of 15, it was called "Miri". It was a really good episode.

[Shockwave_IIc]

OH oh. i know, i know!! do i get the karma??

[TinkerGnome]

Heh, if you're right you can. Though only in the eastern religious fashion.

[Shockwave_IIc]

I've sent you a Pm with my answer.

It would be unfair if i posted it here.

[TinkerGnome]

Shockwave had it ;)

Oh, and everyone is free to post in the IC now.

[Shadow]

Everyone, say hi to Azaezel. Azaezel, everyone :D

[Kagetenshi]

Shadow, that should be Balaclava. Baklava is a dessert :)

~J

[Shadow]

I write this really cool post, and you are upset cause I am wearing a dessert on my face? Sheesh, some people :grinbig:

I'll take your word for it though as reflected in the changes. When I was in the army we called the Baklava's. A quick search on the web reveals no credible source to back me up... so it is changed!

[Kagetenshi]

Baklava is good stuff. Honey, nuts, and pastry.
A recipe

[Kagetenshi]

Tinkergnome, are you going to be doing all the rolls or should we append all relevant rolls to the end of our IC posts?

~J

[Digital Heroin]

All ten Karma spent to do one thing... upped Daemon's Quickness to 5, which tosses his reaction up to 5 as well. I figure being a proto-Rigger, he might need it.

[TinkerGnome]

Place all relevant rolls on the OOC board. It'll work better that way overall, I think.

[Kagetenshi]

Stealth Roll: 3,4,2,1 (dammit... I stealth like a brick)
Perception roll: 1,3,3,4,5,5,5,8,8

Driving Tests for:

Drift Turn - 3,3,4,5,7
Sidewalk Drive - 3,3,4,4,9
Jumping the Curb - 2,3,3,3,3
NOS Run - 3,4,4,4,5
Parking Complex - 1,1,2,2,5

Stealth (To Avoid the Military Tail) - 3,4,5,11

Target numbers for driving are reduced since he's jacked in, to a 3. Seems like he hit that gate a bit rough, but he was successful. As for the Stealth role; stealth is as much knowing how to keep out of the line of sight as anything. It's visual stealth I'm going for here. That's just his end of things. Sensors of course are another matter.

[Little Tim]

Stealth brick, meet stealth rock.
Stealth 2,3,4
Perception roll: 1,2,4,4,5
