Full Version: OOC: Vengeance of the Heavens
Okay, so, meeting with people you don't know is always good times. I don't think Nakir has enough of a physical link to divine anything so we fall back on good old knowledge skills. Hopefully some if not all of these apply. I want to make sure my character knows that the Yakuza wouldn't hire out of house to avenge that sob's death for one. Munkir has one man armied into Yak territory before, it didn't go to well........

Oh yes, absolutely. Certain Spirit Powers and Illusion/Manipulation Spells practically lend themselves to creative abuse.
| QUOTE (Dirtz) |
| Munkir and Nakir are angels of death, in the Islam tradition they question a persons spirit and determine if their wait for rebirth is enjoyable or horrific. |
Interesting. But it immediately provokes the question of what kind of mudang he is, exactly?
Being male and having a Mentor Spirit already makes him a pretty rare breed of mudang, according to Street Magic. But which self-respecting korean shaman would shape his massive (judging by Force and Karma investment, he must've put a lot of work and effort in him, including a life-threatening binding ritual) Ally Spirit and own shadow identity according to islamic lore?
@Sponge
| QUOTE (Sponge) |
| Judging by the other posts it looks like this play-by-post style will be more of a creative writing exercise than I had expected |
We'll have to see about that.
From my experience, most PbP-games start that way because everyone wants to give their char a cool/mysterious/fun/special introduction before the game really starts, at which point the GM and the other players necessarily restrict the characters freedom (at least if he wants to play with them, not just next to them) and he can't just regularly pull off The Awesome™, because it would disrupt the game (apart from the minor problem that his survival rate of pulling 'It' off significantly drops when a GM and a bunch of dice have to be consulted as well). Accordingly ingame time will slow down after the introduction phase and most posts will then be shorter and more goal-oriented (be that a conversation or declaring combat actions), with the 'creative writing' parts becoming rarer.
I've only seen very few games where the 'epic' style of writing lasted long.

| QUOTE (Fenris) |
Eze - You are correct in your assumptions of irony. Got called that so many times when he was being trained by the Yaks that it stuck  |
Glad to hear that - although I'm not Ezeckial...
And thanks for the naming info - must've been some heavy bastardizing, my dictionaries can't come up with anything familiar sounding for 'wisdom'.
I originally guessed 'Rikutakau' had something to do with '戮' ("riku") =kill/murder, given the nature of our campaign (and the impression from your spirit)...
Him being a rare breed of Mundang begins from his awakening. A near death experience at the hands of the Yakuza. This also left him with no friends, family, or job. Only the intervention of his mentor spirit saved his life. Most Mundang are female, and most appease tensions, he eradicates. A vital and yet unorthodox piece of the puzzle. (Most mundangs are magicians, he's a mystic adept, he walks a slightly different path).
His mentor spirit is the Dark Goddess, a spirit who thrives on conflict, but is also deeply involved in Rebirth through destruction. She would probably be about the darkest thing you could call a Cheonsa (good spirit). But she does hate ak-ma (bad spirit) so she's tolerated. Not very conventional though, thus picking Munkir.
I also liked the description of Mundangs using technology and working it into their rituals etc. Works quite well for my character and his background of being a bodyguard/enforcer who would have had ware prior to his awakening.
His naming is more of a player thing, I tend to name characters after angels (fallen or not), unless the character is a mundane techy type. I was doing a search, and saw the names as being the angels of judgment, and I thought that would fit nicely. A little more research told me more (the fact that it was islamic etc.). However, who's going to expect the Korean guy of being the guy with the Islamic name? However, Munkir does have a World Religions Knowsoft and an Arabic Linguasoft.
So if I (as a player) had more knowledge of Korean Folklore and could have come up with a better naming convention I probably would have done so.
You could literally say Munkir is a man possessed, he feels like his life was spared for one reason, and he'd go through anything to accomplish that goal. In his background that ally binding was really rough on him, but now it's almost like Nakir is his brother.
Hmmm, I think that's probably enough blabbing about Munkir for now.

If Marleen takes the call I want to check out the meet sight (local knowledge stuff)and see if the video gives us any clues on the woman's identity(LS database, interpol etc). I'll warn her to stay frosty and watch her hoop, don't take any unnecessary risks.

Ok anyone else want to throw down dice rolls for info about the meet location> Throw them up and I will be posting probably on Monday with the info gathered.
Dirtz I'll be throwing all the info up in one post but I did see your questions. Feel free to backdate the italian job, fine with me. I am always for knowledge skills so if you have one relevant feel free to post the rolls. I don't normally do time stamps on the smaller posts but I will throw out a larger bumping forward post that will indicate a time in it to give a time reference or frame. For example I will be jumping to the meet post next and that will be time stamped. I don't need much need way in posting format, I will always ask for clarification if I'm confused but if the group stays this large I will consider something more formalized. As for being a noob, questions are always welcomed.
Sponge I replied to your PM and I just need the info on the person/contact your character would use for getting intel on jobs etc. Either PM or post here and I will throw up an IC post for your character.
Just a quick reminder I need a final version of your character emailed to me at Wayfarer72@gmail.com by Monday morning. That means not PMed or emailed in chunks please. I like to keep complete copies on my desktop and laptop computers so I can post when I get the time without having to scrabble to assemble someone's character sheet. Include history as well with the final version and include a line in the email saying final so I know which one is the finished product. Sorry if it seems I'm harping on this but my last game I had a player (who was a good friend) who never really got me a complete sheet for their character and it was vexing to say the least. Thanks all!

New IC post up detailing the prep Munkir, Nakir, and "she" are doing the night before.
Nakir is going to consult the Cheonsa Oracles for information pertaining to the meet the next day. Specifically he wants to know if it's a set-up or ambush by the Yakuza. He's using Munkir as his link, so any information he gets would be to Munkir's future.
The rest is just IC for the knowledge rolls I made earlier.
Divination Spirit Power (different roll then if it was divination metamagic)
Intuition 5 + Magic 5
[1,4,5,6,4,1,3,2,2,5] = (3)
3 hits should give "specific" information according to the divination chart in SM.
Haven't quite finished cleaning up Munkir's character background, will make sure it's done by monday.

Maybe the expanded martial arts rules would be useful for Spider...

A few custom gear modifications are much more likely, on my part, if allowed.

I'm fine with using the new materials in Arsenal, I will extend the deadline to Tuesday morning to give people time to rework if they want. Will be throwing up IC posts tomorrow and thanks for the info Sponge. Now I need to get reading the book.
I've been waiting for 2 weapon fighting rules for melee combat for a while, so it looks like I'm going to be taking Martial Arts 1 - Sangrey Acero, with two weapon style and offhand training.
So many new toys and fun stuff as well. Milspec armor such.

Happy Monday all! Sorry for the dropped week but whatever this bug is/was sucks. Fever (102+), coughs, aches the works and now out of the 4 people in the house the other 3 have it so I'm playing nurse today but I have to work tomorrow and it's going to be dreadfully slow so I'll be posting then. I'll also throw up the list of final character sheets I have received as well.

I can send in a revised sheet by tomorrow evening though for sure; I've been busy lately and tinkering around a lot with Arsenal, plus I didn't even think my character made it in as a bench player. The nice thing is with the drug prices from Arsenal I can actually finally write a nice cache of Psyche and Long Haul into the list.

Okay, so I was a bit optimistic about 24 hours, but I'm bashing this into a spreadsheet as we speak so it should be soon
Heh. If/when I get to come in and play I'm going to be totally envious of your Tradition, which is pretty silly considering the circumstances. 
Really though, splitting the difference between Celtic & Wild Druid philosophy just fit the character background I was going for too well to consider anything else. The Jungian approach to Universal Magic Theory is just waaaay too hermetic and logical in flavor to make much sense for the kind of street mage I was going for, despite the mysticism; it's perfect for technophiles and people who think a lot of other traditions are backward and that magic is just another thing that needs to be "figured out," but this character isn't any of those things.

Spider is going to do a drive-by of the location on his motorcycle and scope out the building.
He's also going to see if the name Kenichi Yamamoto from the video clip rings a bell, with his Seattle Yakuza knowledge skill:
[5,5,6,2,4,1,1,1,3] = (3)

Ok all don't forget your weekly drip of karma for the week. I have the following final character sheets in my inbox:
Krossfire
Rayne
Bakatare
Munkir
Spider
Dvalinn Runar
Godzilla
I am still missing a final character sheet for:
Hads played by Karaden
Haze played by Whipstitch
The deadline is this Friday, any characters I don't have sheets for will be dropped from the thread. I think 2 weeks is plenty of time to get sheets into me.
Some people have asked about the rules introduced in Arsenal such as the armor modification limits and if they are being used, and the answer is yes. Since we're using the book I plan on using the rules introduced in the book. For those of you without the new book each piece of armor or clothing can only accept a total number of modifications rating points equal to 6 or the highest number of its armor ratings (Ballistic or Impact) x 1.5 (round up), whichever is higher. So make sure you read over the book and make any adjustments needed, just send me a PM with the changes and I'll modify the sheets I have.
Cthulhudreams I was looking over your character sheet and I noticed your armor mods have no rating attached to them. Keep in mind the armor modification rules found in Arsenal on page 44 or just look above a few lines.
Look for an IC post in the next 30 minutes or so. Thanks all!

Ok IC post is up, feel free to post reactions and rolls here so i can bump the intelligence gathering forward.
@Buddha: Can we assume that the purchase of any legal gear, availability 12 or less, at book prices can simply be fluffed through in an IC post?
That's a safe assumption.

Blast. I *didn't* think we were using it, so I just maxed out all the mods from the basic book on that chameleon suit. I haven't even read the arsenal rules for armour mods yet.
I'll fix it when I get home tonight.
