<slaps forehead> Sorry Plan B I'll cancel that contract right now if i can get my deposit back. I never knew ninja's were so expensive. I tried to hire pirates but they stole all my porn and drank all my beer

Aye, another concept coming along the bend.

Noticed no dedicated hacker or technomancer, so I am bringing the techie back.

Name:
Rashel "Sonar" Strohm

Profession/ Archetype:
Blogger, Data Sleuth, Hack-Meister Extraordinaire (Technomancer)

Background Summary:
Rashel was always immensely interested in the Matrix, the world created simply by data and the minds and imaginations of those who controlled it. She loved the idea of being able to look like anything, control anything, and if you were good enough, go anywhere with just your skills and technology. During the Crash of '65 she was in the 'Trix, connected via a trode net and Sim pack she modified herself, surfing the 'Trix as per usual when it all came down. She survived the dump and aftershocks, but ever since then she has had the ability to connect to the Matrix without a plug, a deck, a commlink. She is always connected and she couldn't be happier.

Reason for Recruitment:
Rashel is one of the few 'out' technomancers on the Matrix, her handle Sonar known all around as a verbal proponent for Technomancer rights as well as a strong voice in the hacker communities. She has started doing outreach to Technomancer communities, former Otaku gangs, and this has made her a valuable connection for the DIMR, as they too want a chance to study Technomancers and what has brought on their abilities.

Backround Quality:
Friendly Face. Rashel makes friends wherever she goes and she can fit in with almost anybody.

Random Quality:
Allergic to Low Quality Metals. When she was a child she had her ears pierced that they swelled badly because of the tin and aluminum used in the earring. Even steel wouldn't work in her ears, only high quality silver, gold and platinum would suffice. Needless to say, she very rarely bought new earrings.

Whew, I dropped back in to see if we had a verdict yet to know whether or not I needed to finish my contacts and gear or if I could continue with my physics homework. I saw "Reason For Recruitment" and the Name wasn't Dr. Thomas L Wilson, and I started cursing bloody murder in my head till I realized it was a character submission.

Also, I don't send ninjas, B, that is just disgraceful. I would at least give you the honor of dying by my own hands. Well, honestly, probably bomb or CO poisoning, also probably your whole neighborhood just to throw people off, but that's just the swell kind of guy I am. I add that personal touch that handing cash to a faceless killer just doesn't have.



Chris

Tweak tweak!

N worries Fisty. Soon as my pirates are done with the sherry and and used up my payforview i'll sic them on DTFarstar

Huh, hadn't noticed the locations before, so no I didn't know that. However, I still fail to see the problem, I'm assuming if I get the whole neighborhood you are there too right?

And if you two are apart because of jobs or whatever.... then well crap, I guess I'm foiled huh?

(also, would like to re-iterate that I am not a gibbering psycho and am in fact just making a joke)



Chris

Thanks D minor, but I've got legions of loyal Drop bears just itching for something to do.

DT - I'm not sure that's entirely true. We are all trying to get into this game where you shoot people in the face for money, after all.

@Chris: *laughs* Not a psycho, noted. ... and we're like maybe three feet apart, so yeah, the wiping out the neighborhood thing would work.
(If we hadn't built that elaborate tunnel system under the house. HA! Sucka!)

Eh, not really, I talk with all the other mods pretty regularly. I'm pretty sure killing a moderator and wiping out his neighborhoood is a ban-able offense. Or at least a suspension.

I never said I wasn't a psycho, I said I wasn't a gibbering psycho. I'll fully admit that I have several diagnosable mental disorders. I'm actually a lot more of a sociopath really, though the difference got tossed to the wayside in the DSM - IV - TR, I prefer to keep to the psychopath = unable to function in society/does not understand right and wrong and doesn't bloody well care sociopath = Has own set of morals that are followed religiously but they differ very significantly from societal standards of acceptability.

Anyway, I am a rational sociopath so I know I have nothing to gain from bombing/CO-ing your neighborhood and I definitely do not gain enough to justify the risk of being caught so.... you are safe.




.....For NOW!





Chris

Also, I've got a horrendous migraine right now, so I would like to thank both of you for this amusing little side trip we have taken together, it has kept my mind off of things a lot more than anything is usually able to.



Chris

EDIT: Also would like to point out you were cheering my self motivation and can do attitude when I was talking about taking over hell on earth, but when it comes to killing your wife you are all like "Oh no, we must ban this overzealous evildoer." Where is the praise for my self-motivation now?

I JUST WANT TO BE LOVED!

I bake him cookies. *nods* It's job security.

NP, we actually get taht a lot. Usually from Fortune or Doc or Grinder on occassion. We'd totally go on tour, but then , well, we wouldn't be able to post!

If you came to my place I would let you post on my computer and maybe bake you cookies and we could all watch the Dresden Files

Also, I would like to interject my jealousy that you both found someone who appreciates this hobby. My girlfriend and I have been in a relationship for over 7 years now, but she just does not understand and has no desire to my interest in RPGs. Alas, I love her dearly and she me so it is just something that will have to develop or just be my "me" time in the relationship.



Chris

Watch the Dresden Files? Why would you do that to them, Trigger? Why?! Also, I have been told I bake a mean cookie. Also steak......mmmmmm.... cookie steaks.




Chris

Don't let Fist hear you bashing the Dresden Files.....I got him into the series and we are both huge fans of it......also, you should try bacon brownies sometime, sounds horrible, is actually highly delicious.

Sorry, but I love the Dreseden files. The shoe more than the books, although I think the books give you a better appreciation for the show.

I like sugar cookies best BTW.

Damm suck ups Trigger Do you have any Rum at home. Ive got some friends that want to come visit :

Where are you at minor?

Oh, and Trig, I wouldn't give him any booze. He's a minor.

*laughs at own bad pun*

I have rum and cookies and brownies and TV, all the necessities for life (that and a computer and a girlfriend who enjoys these things too)

Honestly, the series really isn't that bad and I'm sad it got canceled, but compared to the books.... the books are so good! Also, I will admit I did not initially give it a fair try. I tried to watch it in the original order not the aired order, so the Storm Front episode was first so there was no introduction of the changes made- they all just jumped up and mugged my cerebral cortex. The hockey stick blasting rod still irritates the hell out of me though and the human seeming toad demon. The actual first aired episode really isn't bad and still shows Bob as a skull. He just projects as a butler for some reason instead of being glowing orange lights in the head.


Ok, I'm going to stop before I list all the changes that bothered me. Suffice it to say I'm a book fanboy so the show wasn't bad, but it couldn't live up to the books which I shouldn't expect it to, but still made me like it less. I need to try watching the second episode and see how it goes.

Oh, swapping the looks on Susan and Murphy was a bad idea in my opinion too.


Chris

Sweet! *packs bags for Trigger's house* .. Ummm.. where do you live again?

Bah, bite me all you lucky "I've got a girlfriend who likes the things I do" bastards.

Anyway, how do you make bacon brownies?



Chris

With all this huge activity on this thread, I wonder if Doc will be able to find anything remotely game related when he gets back?


Chris

Agreed on the hockey stick. I never saw the Storm Front Episode sadly, but the books, well, I still havne't gotten past book 2. I dont' like how it's basically book 1 with were wolves instead of a dark mage. Will eventually buy book 3.

Plan B, just go South on the on the 5 and then get on the 405 then the 118 into Simi Valley, also called Slimy Valley, which is next to Moorpark, which is also called Kraproom.

I say we make it a game... hide all the game related info in between the random nothing posts. See how crazy ya'll can drive him.

Oh, and I'd never heard of this whole "RPG" thing before I met Ben. (Well, there was that one time someone tried to get to me to go to a LARP'ed version of Vampire: The Masquerade) so it was either learn to deal with him ignoring me for hours at a time or learn to play. I stand by my decision.

Huh ... maybe you should visit us instead.

(bring the rum)

Fool Moon is the only book I didn't really like very much. I agree it was very book one-ish. It kind of felt like they were the same book. Partly because of the Murphy distrust thing, and partly because nothing big happened character wise in book 2. Summer Knight is better and then they really take off. It takes me like 1-2 hours to read the books so I've got them all.

A roommate has all the episodes Tivo'd for me so I need to watch the rest of them so I can say I gave it a chance. Storm Front is episode.... 8 I think. Yeah, it's episode 8.




Chris

Ooh... do Dresden and Murphy ever hook up? (Yes, it's girly and no I don't care.)

I'm watching episode 1 of Burn Notice right now.... this is actually quite a good show. Anyway, yeah, those brownies are not something that should be eaten, ever.



Chris

I thought the same thing when I watched Psych. I actually really liked it.

Okay, for the love of god... does anyone have MSN, Yahoo, IM-ness?

Chris

...

Check out my awesome ability to just ignore everything that occured over the last 2371 posts: All right! After reading through the submissions of everyone who was still interested in playing, I made my final decision. Again, I feel bad about not being able to accept everyone but saying "no" is part of a GM's job. That said, the player that'll be joining you goombahs is... <drum roll>

DTFarstar playing Dr. Thomas L. Wilson the Jewish M.D. Oy!

Thanks, yet again, for all the interest you've guys shown! If anyone else has to step out or anything like that, I'll be sure to let everyone know about the opening.

DAMN!!!!

Haha! I WIN I WIN!


....... I mean, sorry to all my worthy adversaries. Maybe I'll die, I've got a chronic illness that stresses my heart on a regular basis so you still have a chance!


Also, you can reach me at DTFarstar on AIM, MSN, or Yahoo.


Chris

Sorry Trigger.

And Chris, in case I didn't mention it yet the good doctor is considered to be a Dedicated Magician in my guidelines, and I like your first random flaw over the second one. If you could take another look at what you've done so far and then send me the first bunch of stats I requested (qualities, attributes, and skills) so I can make sure they're kosher, we'll be all caught up with everyone else.

Ok, I'll finish my contacts, gear, and last minute tweaks and get the finalized version to you as soon as possible, depending on migraine strength I may go to sleep soon, but it's looking like not so good for you.


Chris

Oh, I just need Qualities Atts and skills? Ok, no problem gimme like 5 minutes.


Chris

Vancouver island. B.C. Canada home of the dreaded couch surfing pirates


<edited for cursing> Damm you DTF and congrats

Thanks, Minor



Chris

I like how I'm the only one willing to post my screen names and such. Cowards =-P

Also, Plan B, sorry about losing you just then, I tried to add you and Pidgin crashed on me. You aren't showing up on my list anymore so you may want to message me again.


Chris

I posted mine earlier, thank you very much. And be happy you lost Plan B. She's the debil. THE DEBIL!
