Ol' Scratch

Dashifen
Excellent.

I'm out for a week. Sorry to bail when you are starting.... I'll try to get a post in durring the week sometime so I don't hold you back, but can't promise anything.
Shadow
I am going to postpone the opening of the IC thread another day or so. Sorry for the delay, theres a few details I need to lock down.
Shadow
Ok IC is up. Feel free to set up your character or just wait for the fixer to call you.

Please use "" for talking, Italics for thinking and yellow for transducers or sub vocal mikes.

Please read Shadows Guide to PbP and try to abide buy it.


The day starts at June 3rd, 2064 3:00 pm. Please mark it with a time date stamp in orange (as in my first post).
Dashifen
Hope you don't mind first person. For things like this where I was just introducing the character a bit, I figured I'd go that route. When we're doing combat or other stuff, I'll probably switch to third. But, I'll always keep it the same throughout a post.

do you have a preference?
Shadow
I am happy with either.

I also liked that you put your character name next to the time date stamp. Everyone do that smile.gif
Method
Shadow: I am struggling to find the time to polish of my character, but I am dying to play in this game still. I will try to get it to you ASAP, and keep up with posting as the plot develops, but if you would prefer me to drop out this one and wait for the next game I wouldn't mind. Let me know. There would be no hard feelings on my end, and I don't want to hold things up excessively. I need another day maybe, tops....
Shadow
Games always start of slowly, feel free to polish away. I usually escept changes until the first die is rolled. Feel free to post regardless.
Shadow
Oh yeah, one more thing,

No sigs in the IC please. If you forget you can go back and edit them out. No swearing or harsh language (SR slang is fine) either.
Bearclaw
Is mine too harsh? She is mad, you know smile.gif
Shadow
Your fine, just keep it light.

The meeting is on June 3rd, 4pm PST, at "The Airfield Bar and Grill" a converted hangar at Boeing Field.

Feel free to have your fixers call you and impart the info.
Whizbang
Well, I'm heading off to Dragon*Con soon...see you guys Monday evening/Tuesday afternoon.
Method
Shadow: character sheet is off (finally). Thanks for you patients...
Shadow
No problem, I liked your intro.

Everyone has till Monday morning to post your intro, after that I assume you just arrive at the meeting.
Shadow
Meetings up. Please refrain from being super sneaky, its a professional meet with a legitimate setup. No need to go in guns blazing invisibly with a ruthieum cloak smile.gif
Dashifen
Do we get a sense from the get go whether weapons would be frowned upon?
Shadow
Theres no doorman, and no obvious scanners. With the heavy KE pressence I would refrain from visible weaponry, but personal protection would be ok.
Slipshade
I'll post an update tomorrow, if I can. First week at a new job is keeping me very busy.

Slip
Shadow
You have till Friday to ask questions and say yes or no. Anyone who hasn't posted or hasn't said yes or know, will have been considered to pass on the job.
Dashifen
Don't forget that Eccy said he'd be on vacation (IIRC) it's above in this thread. Not sure if he'll be back by the friday deadline.
Shadow
Yeah havent forgotten him. No matter how hard I try wink.gif

I'm putting on my Astral Perception cap. I'll just look around at everyone to get a sense of who's a mage on the team, but that's not really important to me. Is there any form of spirit or is the johson awakened? If necessary here's an Assensing roll: 09 04 02 02 #D:4 TN:4 H#:9 S:2.
Shadow
Johnson is not awakened, about half the team is.
Gyro the Greek Sandwich Pirate
Can we get a description of what the team looks like?
I mean, we've got the Menehune dwarf, etc., but what about the rest of us 'normals' in with the others? And any colorful aspects of the stranger ones?
Shadow
Feel free to post a description of your characters smile.gif
Gyro the Greek Sandwich Pirate
Tiptoes:
A slightly taller than average Japanese male. Lithe, and tends to conserve his movements. Typically wearing an unemotional expression. Wears a dull black security jacket and dark trousers. Eyes tend to track longer than normal. When he walks, you usually can't hear his footfalls.
Whizbang
Wethrandir: You will see further into the game. wink.gif
Ninja Please
Spartan:

Ork standing roughly 6'6", but he looks human. Thick, dense musclar build, the type that develops on those who use strength professionally, like dock workers or firefighters. Despite it being the middle of summer, he wears jeans, a dark, long sleeved shirt, and lightweight gloves. His wrists, when they peak out between the shirt and gloves, have a metalic shean. A careful observation reveals a thin secure-grade vest under the shirt and a concealed manhunter.
Dashifen
I'll post more on Gin in the IC forum at some point ... if I can't work it in, I'll post more here. For now, she's an Ork woman, well dressed in business casual attire.
Bearclaw
Wishbone is an exceptionally good looking Orc. He has Orcish features, but they're so subdued that he can pass for a very tall (6'8") and fairly bulky (301#) human Amerind at first glance. A second look will notice the beginning of tusks, and the slightly flattened out nose.
His hair is very long and Amerind Black, kept in one braid that goes almost to his waist. His eyes are also black.
He's wearing Levi's and an undecorated tribal buckskin pullover, dark brown with lots of fringe around the neck, sleaves and bottom. Brown Nike hiker's, a Cowichan knit cap and a large turqouise and silver necklace with a stylized eagle complete the outfit.
A detailed inspection will notice a bulky vest underneath, forearm guards that aren't fully hidden by the fringe and no weapons.
Ecclesiastes
Ok. I've given this a lot of thought. This is being posted in each of the games I'm involved in, so sorry if you're seeing it more than once...

I've going to be pulling back from the forum games for a while. I'll still be involved, but mostly only in games that have been running for a long time. However, this does mean that I'll be dropping out of a lot of games that are either in startup or haven't been running long. Things in my life have just been too chaotic and frankly I'm just going through too much right now to keep up with the pace of the boards.

I'll be dropping the following games...

Tequila Blues (GM) - Sorry guys, hopefully Shadow or Grendel can take up the role of GM and keep things going. I'll be happy to feed them the ideas I had.
Daddy's Girl (GM) - I really hate doing this, cause its been going for a while, but being a GM is just beyond me right now.
Living in the Shadows - Grendel can decide what happens with Todd.
Into the Abyss - I haven't even started this one, so you'll be ok without me.
Balance Due - Even though I haven't posted yet, I know that Bishop was a main character. Perhaps he was killed by the Templars and that just gives his friends more reason to go after them.

Games I'll be staying in...
Extassis, Hunting Shadows Within, and Savior.
Shadow
I am glad I invited 9 people... cause thats number 3 to drop. Anyone who is planning on playing and hasn't posted yet please do so soon so I know if we have enough players to procede.
Gyro the Greek Sandwich Pirate
Lotsa orks in the house smile.gif
Gyro the Greek Sandwich Pirate
Hey Shadow, would it be considered general knowledge to ask if we're operating at ambient pressure or not?
Shadow
Sure.
Method
I'm still in... Just need time to compose my post.

Besides, this team would be looking pretty beefy if my little stealth adept dropped out... eek.gif
Bearclaw
Hey, do we have a decker/tech specialist?
Dashifen
Gin has computer skills but not decking and only in tortise mode so she can handle the copying and retrieval of data if necessary, but probably couldn't surmount any real decking problems.
Gyro the Greek Sandwich Pirate
Among other things, Tiptoes can handle electronics.
Raiko
This is just a cut and paste of the description I've used for Mirage in other games, sorry for being lazy, I'm pretty busy at the moment (as usual).

............................................................................

Mirage is human and from Marseilles in France. She speaks fluent English with a French accent.

She is 28 years old, 5'3" tall, has a gymnasts build, and is very good looking (good looking & knows it edge). She has lightly tanned skin, black hair cut in a bob and brown eyes.

She has very little noticeable cyberware, her two small datajacks behind her left ear are normally hidden by her hair, she has an induction pad in her right palm, and her natural looking eyes are actually cosmetically modified cybereyes.

She always dresses in smart casual clothes from top Parisian fashion-houses. She normally wears a top, plus trousers and low heeled boots, she rarely wears skirts or dresses, except when the occasion demands it. She also almost always wears a light grey ankle length, hooded, "cloak like" long coat, also from Paris.
Shadow
No sigs in the IC please.
