The only downside I can see is that if Lamia's in the frozen north, it'll be harder for her to wear skimpy outfits. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Though I'm curious what the Northern character roster is like... Will she (as a former corporate mage with mostly combat-leaning spells) step on anyone else's niche? |

The character I had made(not actually implemented yet) is a hedonistic hermetic spellcaster that was remarkably similar to yours actually. Mine is pretty much strictly a spellcaster, however, with few actual combat spells. Lots of mind control and plain ol' vanity spells (Makeover, Healthy Glow). With that extra 50bp I might be able to make him fit, come to think of it. Just give him some more face-like abilities and he could mesh pretty well. We'll see. |

In Northern Gateway, there are a lot of big guns and cargo pants. Lamia is .... different. I had designed this campaign to allow for runs and life in the wilds, as I had not seen much of that in the past and wanted to explore the rest of the world outside the cities.
I hope to continue that exploration, but perhaps intermingling it with some 'Tinsel Town' encounters to put the unshaven woodsy types at unease on occasion. I have only the vaguest idea how to get Lamia from Seattle to Attawapiskat, but I'm sure I'll have fun doing it. |

The details might be vague, but the basic reason is easy... she's in a magical group with the Fraternity stricture! "Sister Lamia, we need you to go up north and take care of this important run for Brother Joe-Bob, who broke his leg skiing and can't help in time. I hope you have cargo pants." "I don't own any pants at all." |

Cool idea for getting you north, KS, but I have my own plan. Love the joke.

Sounds like her life will get interested in the Chinese sense then!
I suppose Lamia could pick up one of those skintight speed skier suits as her cold weather outfit. "It's like wearing nothing at all... nothing at all... nothing at all... " "Stupid sexy Flanders!" |

OK, so at the mining office are Longshot and Chase, with JD being played by me for now. I'm going to have JD, Vixen and Old Wolf be off somewhere else for now. Maybe finding accommodations. If they don't show up (ie. their players don't show up) by the time I get the two partial teams and new people united, I will quietly retire them, without trying to retcon the story line.

Lamia has no social skills at all, so there'd definitely be distinct areas for the two to shine in. Picking up a mentor spirit from one of the party or seductive types would give you a good bonus to Con. A shaman or Cha-based tradition works out even better as a face, of course, but any mage can benefit a decent Charisma (And bump it up with an increase attribute spell). |

Lemme dig around and find Chase's sheet and add the BP/karma. It'll let me make him a little more well-rounded a character, and a little bit less a pseudo-NPC driver only type of guy.
I'm still around, still interested, etc, etc...just finding a lot of stuff on my plate lately between grad school and freelancing projects. |

No problem. All my notes for this run, except for those I've already posted for you, drifted away with the operating system crash. So I'm writing this part again post by post.

Is someone waiting for a response or something from me?

Well, if we are left with Longshot in this game and Lamia in the Trans-global Ghost Cartels game, then when I bring you together, there will be the sex-kitten mage and the .... kitten with a gun.
Speaking of which, a young Longshot is depicted on the Internet HERE. |

I'm still around, just been ridiculously busy lately, sorry guys. Spy Games deadlines matched up eerily with some major projects at school, and I'm just kind of swamped at the moment. I don't want to hold anything up, but my ability to remember this game seems to be pretty low -- just go ahead and NPC him or whatever, I guess. I don't want to slow anyone down, so I'll just bow out.

It'd be a 2 die default if she tried it, so she does use her brains instead of her looks to actually get things done. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Sorry to hear you are out for now, Critias. I'll NPC Chase and surrender him to you whenever you want to return.

I'm bringing this thread and Trans-global Ghost Cartels together. Over there, Lamia (anybody else still alive there?) is up to 17 September. Here everybody (anybody besides Longshot actually still a PC??) is up to 1 October, so I will try to get Lamia ahead in time to link up with Longshot.
