Firstly Sphynx and Fortune

Yes go ahead and prepare, Whizband and Panzergiest are already submitted histories. SO, get that under the belt and we can move forward.

Aes

Any other questions, please post them. Just incase someone has the same question

[Panzergeist]

Is cultured bioware allowed?

[Whizbang]

Fortune, you ever use those messengers listed in your profile?

[Fortune]

Very rarely. I just noticed that my character concept seems to be a carbon copy of yours ... or at least what you have written about yours. I think I'm going to have to rethink somewhat. :(

[Fortune]

D-d-d-double post!

[Whizbang]

Great minds think alike :)

[Fortune]

Yeah, but as much as I like the character's concept, I don't wanna be stepping on any toes.

[Fortune]

:eek:

Mine looks almost identical in the skills department. He differs in that mine is a cybered dude, who is in no way whatsoever a conservationist, but other than that ...

[Panzergeist]

Where exactly is this going to be located? I need to know where my contacts should be.

[Johnson]

Panzergiest

Bioware. if it is in any of the books and meets the requirements of character creation. Why not.

This is a tough one but did I fail to mention it. :D Central to Southern Africa.

Whizbang

Please could you email the document as requested. Please, histories straight to me, no posting in spoilers. Just mail me.

Fortune

If your blue print is like Whizbangs see on how you can make it different.
I am not going to slam anyone one for Carbon copies of character sheet.

Note to all

Whizbang and Sphynx I have you characters. History, Whizbang still waiting for your refined. Panzergiest I am waiting for you character.

Aes

Just let us know what is happening.

[Whizbang]

For some reason I thought I had already sent it to you...

[Johnson]

Thanks Whizbang.

Its just Panzergiest I am waiting for now.

[Johnson]

OOC:Not all that glitters is gold is now up now running.

[Panzergeist]

I'll have it in by tonight.

[Johnson]

Closing date for the character sheets is friday. But no later than Sunday.

[Johnson]

IC: Not all that Glitters is Gold is now up and ready to go.

[Aes]

Took to hugging trees at terminal velocity and got home a little early. :dead: I'll see if I can cook something up before limping back to my painkillers. Heck, most of my good ideas seem to crop up while heavily medicated anyhow :P

[Edit]

Or not.... Bleh. All I seem to come up with is rehashes of the same char over and over again. I'll give it a crack after some rest and have it sent your way saturday evening at the latest.

[Aes]

Sent a profile your way now. Tried to balance out the hunter and mage, so I mixed up a face with a few bits of rigger and covert ops specialist in her to fill in the remaining bases. Probably won't be bringing her own aircraft or chopper though, what with anything that flies being that expensive and high-availability.

Sent! Waiting for word on wether stuff needs changing

[McEdit]

Still waiting on a go/no-go from mr. Johnson on the character. But just in case, here's an abbrevated version of the bio and character sheet I sent him. (No need to list every single gadget bought, nor things she wouldn't have told everyone else). Still subject to change of course if there's something Johnson would like me to change - or the pc is a no-go. And I added a few changes and omissions not in the actual character sheet/bio. Reasoning behind it being that nothing not in the two spoiler tags below would be something the character would have freely told in less than a year.

Bio:

[ Spoiler ]

Basics:
Current name: Kelly McLoughlin

Appearance:
Height: 195cm
Weight: 72kg
Hair: Red, short cropped
Eyes: Green
Gender: Female
Race: Elf
Obvious cyberware: Datajack on left side if the neck

Kelly has a tall, lithe build with obvious elven features -- Fully conforming to the stereotypical elf, with slanting green eyes, high cheekbones, generous lips and fair, pale skin. She keeps her hair shoulder-length and in a perpetual mess unless the occasion is formal - sometimes using hairspray to maintain the hairs volume.

She typically dresses in whatever's practical and comfortable; baggy streetwear with enough pockets to carry whatever knickknacks she thinks she'll end up needing. More often than not she wears something sleveless, showing off the barcode tattoo on her left shoulder.

To put a single word to Kelly: She's a daredevil.
According to herself, she's been an adrenaline junkie since she were 14, she spent much of her youth at the airbase, watching her father flying T-birds and jetplanes. She hasn't spoken much of why she left her family for Africa - or indeed who or where her family is, though she has dropped hints on occasion that she's looking for somoene. She's slightly cocky, but seldom excessively so. So far, she hasn't claimed she could do something she didn't pull off eventually. She's willing to try most anything once and cheerfully sets about whatever tasks are tossed at her if she thinks they'll lead to the next adrenaline rush.

The cheerfulness carries over into her people interactions. She beleives most anything can be accomplished with the right word at the right time. She's loath to have others suffering by her hand - to the point she refuses to carry live
ammunition in her sidearm. She looks with distaste upon live ammunition and edged melee weapons, but hasn't been shy in the past for sending a handful of neuro-stun bullets or gel rounds in the direction of trouble.

She were introduced to you about 12 months ago as a pilot for places hard to get to, which has been a mixed blessing. She has a knack for getting people just about everywhere when given a vehicle, but it's usually best not to eat before setting foot in anything she's piloting, lest you risk tasting it again coming back up. According to her, anything that flies was meant to soar less than 10 meters above ground level, and never at less than full throttle.

Bioware:
Kelly has only mentioned muscle replacements when asked, but hasn't denied having more. She claims the muscle replacements were added to get her up and running again in a hurry after a crash a few years back. When pressed for details, she always dodges the questions.

Cyberware:
In the past 12 months, Kelly has used or admitted to carrying the following cyberware:

Dermal Sheath [1]
Vehicle Control Rig [2]
Smartlink II
Cybernetic eyes w. built-in camera, image link and low-light vision
Datajack
Headware memory
Router

Gear:
Savalette guardian sidearm, stock model
Plenty of gel and capsule rounds.
Jungle camouflage clothing
Pocket Secretary
Transceiver w. encryption/decryption module, modified to connect to her datajack
A full suite of camping and climbing gear
Well-stocked medikit with about a dozsen extra slap-patches

Vehicles:
"Muddy", her modified Toyota Gopher. Comes with 2 seats in the front, a bench seat in the back and the remaining space filled with electronics and concealed armor. She picked the car up about 6 months ago as a means to get about whenever the Johnson didn't make aerial transportation available.

Location:
She keeps a pleasant apartment in the outskirts of Johannesburg. She's given the keycodes for the door to anyone who asked in exchange for a promise not to bring strangers over, raid the fridge and leaving their dirty underwear on the couch. IT's a pretty ritzy place, with a well-stocked freezer, air condition and plenty of room. The spare bedroom has been converted into storeage, usually holding her spare gear. She hasn't been home much lately, staying at a cabin some distance out of town climbing with some guy she met last month.

[Johnson]

Aes Sound good I have just got your mail I will look it through.. Looks good already , just rad through it in detail during the coarse of this monday morning.

[Aes]

If it's ok, I'd like to do some minor gear shuffling. Cut a few slap patches or field rations out and replace it with DSMO for the capsule rounds to go with the neuro-stun. Just realized its a gas, not a liquid. I R STOOPID. :(

[Johnson]

Do the changes and resubmit I have not read it as yet.

[Aes]

Done and done.

[Mumbles]

Got room for another character?

[Johnson]

We are sitting at four strong. I will ask the other how they would feel about and extra hand... Just watch this space. Will advise.

What dow you have in mind ?
