The Found Arcana - Eighth Interlude [OOC] Options

[Tecumseh]

We'll have the full month between this interlude and the next chapter.

I have two reports due tomorrow so I'm scrambling a bit. Should be able to get something up later this afternoon or tonight.

And, for the record, gilga has told it in the past that it's "M" but I always pronounce it "A-M" in my head when I'm reading posts.

[Tecumseh]

For Thanee's benefit, let's try to remember to give physical descriptions of ourselves and other things we might be taking for granted after playing together four years. (Game anniversary is at the end of August, a month from now.)

[Gilga]

My idea was that M is short for Amy, and also for Maka, but online she'll write it AM, for both names.

Thank you! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Jack, sorry I lost track of the Armorer question. I'll try to loop back to it.

[Tecumseh]

Yeah, RP is flowing fast and furious. I woke up in the morning to a ton of content to consume and (eventually) reply to. Our rhythms may be different now with a new (and active) poster.

[Beta]

I'm also on vacation (staycation) this week, so more opportunities to reply. Nice timing with the new interlude.

NBD, I assumed it was her personality to get lost in some other details (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

[Gilga]

@Beta, Raven is human (not elf), and the three ladies are approximately the same height. (160 for AM and Raven and 157 for Tamarind). Raven is likely a bit higher because she is wearing heels. (AM is in her slippers).

So she is technically the shortest woman,

character personality .... player personality .... one or both (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Speaking of missing some details while looking at others, yikes! I'll go edit my IC.

=================
ETA:
A couple of character sheet tweaks
- added the 10 points of professional skills mentioned earlier and some light tweaking of other knowledge skills
- realized I didn't have a contact for the 'in debt' quality, so replaced her mechanic with a low level mafia, who handles extorting money from freelance food delivery operations working in 'downtown' Seattle ('Small' Antonio)
- finally figured out why one of her Flying Eyes was 'Uncle' and the rest were 'the Aunties' -- added a rating 6 ultrasound sensor to Uncle (and knocked 600nY off her remaining nuyen)

ETA2:
Just a by-the-way, while she has knowledge Literature (pre-awakening juvenile fantasy) I don't figure she'd be familiar with Blade Runner nor Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep

[Thanee]

Right, gonna have to add those Knowledge Skills, too. Maybe I can think of something else, that would make sense... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Beta, I teed something up for Tamarind at the end of Mato's post, in case you missed it.

My last Tamarind post was written over quite some time on my phone, getting back to it whenever I had another few minutes. I hadn't seen the Mato post when I got going with it, and by the time I did I didn't want to edit all that I'd built up. I'll make sure to respond in my next one.

[Tecumseh]

Just double-checking!

[Gilga]

@BTW - It is daytime right? I mean in my mind it gets perhaps a bit too dark to read, but there is still light coming from the windows.
What do you think?

[Tecumseh]

I put the time (and date) in the first IC post. It's a Tuesday morning. The precise time isn't set, but I imagine somewhere in the 10:00 range, give or take. Early enough to be drinking tea and soykaf. The weather is grey and cloudy so there will be light coming in through the windows but not bright sunlight. A flashlight probably isn't necessary. Mato, AM, and Tamarind (with her vision mods) would not need additional light to read or see well, nor anyone who has low-light vision in their contacts or glasses.

[Beta]

It happened again -- I only saw Tecumseh's new IC after I'd posted IC and OOC, and this time his and mine directly conflicted. I have deleted both postst. I have to get off the computer now but will re-write later when I get a chance.

The one part worth still mentioning: Tamarind has minimal technical skills. In the re-write to fit starting character level I dropped essentially all of those. Engineering skill group 1 is all that is left. Granted, that should be enough to reset a circuit breaker. But just to mention that she won't be dazzling anyone with her technical skills (and she'll be leaning on Stitch (mechanic's helper drone) for drone repair)

[Tecumseh]

Yes, well aware that Tamarind only has Engineering 1, but that's one point better than the rest if us on skills that are not technically debatable.

[Beta]

Previously blanked IC now re-written.

@Tecumseh I was just making sure because multiple versions can trick memory. At least I have to keep checking back to remember what she actually ended up with.

[Tecumseh]

Well I wrote a post with Raven's Spanish being a key element only to double-check and find out that it wasn't Spanish anymore.

[Thanee]

Oh! Sorry! That was a mistake in the original sheet. Was meant to be Sperethiel all along (learned from her mother). Spanish would have been out of place.

In today's world, she probably could have picked it up on the streets, but in Shadowrun's Seattle the language does not seem to be used that much. Or am I mistaken here?

Thanee

[Tecumseh]

Oh, I think you could make the argument that you could pick up just about any language in Sixth World Seattle by tweaking your background to adjust who you're hanging out with. Japanese is probably common due to the megacorps. Earlier editions made a bigger deal out of Cityspeak bring its own language, which was a pidgin of English, Japanese, Mandarin, Spanish, etc.

In present day Seattle, Spanish is quite common. Mandarin is a distant third with Vietnamese, Tagalog, and Russian not far behind. Pacific Rim, basically, which isn't that much of a surprise.

[Thanee]

I havn't used those 10 Knowledge ranks, yet, since I couldn't think of anything fitting. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Maybe just adding some languages that are used on the streets of Redmond could make sense...

Could take some ranks in Japanese, Mandarin, Spanish (to get that back in (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) ).

Thanee

[Tecumseh]

Correction: evidently Mato also has Industrial Mechanic 1. Who knew? Not me, the player, evidently.

[Thanee]

Added those 10 ranks mostly in languages now, that Raven would have picked up in conversations with her fellow Redmond squatters and residents.

Bye
