PL: The EPIC OOC - closed thread

[Germanic Templars]

yeah, yeah, yeah. I know, piss poor phrasing on my part = original message misinterpreted. Next time, so we are no crowding OOC with side chat, take to TG, please.

I only use TG when addressing a person's egregious behavior. This spares the person from any sense of public humiliation. I will not use TG to express an opinion on someone's public opinion.


And back to the OOC!
For those who don't know, October 1st is the start of the first quarter of the fiscal year for our corporate offices. It means we scramble the week before to get all the shit done, despite having a suspense date weeks prior. And then we scramble to get shit launched the first week of October. This is when the government and other agencies loooove to hand out grants and other money. So Cer has been busy, and he's called in full staff... which means me and two other people on leave. It leaves all of us exhausted.

The fiscal year also affects my squadron. Our end of year reports are all due, and we have a bunch of reqs to book out for the month. As aircrew and as an officer holding a position within the squadron itself, I'm kept hopping. On top of this, we're on short notice for immediate activation should Matthew hit the area.

Aaaannnnd I'm still on medical leave and recovering from surgery, so you can bet I'm too exhausted to do NS in the evening. I do check in though I'm not really uber active right now. Expect post delays.

Just saying that it would be best to not clot the ooc with side chatter. If need be I would be happy to continue further debates in a thread of choice about it. Maybe RWDT, LWDT, or LDT.

Not for Huachuca. They ass rape us especially pharmacy, those ass. Plus begins the wait for JCo (joint commission) to come by and tell us how we fucked up. Not happening but expecting it. Aside from that Columbus day gives me a four day weekend (thank God for Italians). With that time I will spend trying to do some tasks (one related to PL).

[CAT XIII]

Sorry to be annoying by bringing this up again but TG me if you want to join my side story (details on previous page). If you can't TG right now then just post here.

And with that I shall take my leave before somebody virtually batters me over the head with a sledgehammer...

...please don't hurt me...

I hope the storm doesn't come that far inland.

I hope the storm doesn't come that far inland.

Me, too, but we cover the entire state and region, so we might be called into Maryland or D.C. if it's bad enough. It's only fair, though. When we had massive flooding this summer, squadrons from all over our region responded to the call.


Agy and Cer... sorry for a lame IC reply. I just can't work my head into a creative mode today.

Oh, almost forget. https://youtu.be/goOxkxKgvdI?t=15s. Waaaaaaaaaaaaay back in the day, when I had my original nation, my characters' sounds were based upon two pets... a Savannah monitor and a sugar glider. There is no sound quite as annoying as a sugar glider's crabbing. Mep's horrendous vile angry growl is based on the sugar glider's, if the creature were the size of a toddler.

[Highfort]

All good, reply moves stuff forward! Will reply after classes and whatnot.

Well, then stop by. You know where I'll be.

The current doomcast has Matt looping around to kick the Bahamas while they're down, though...

*virtually bops you with a soft foam mallet*

I have some Burrows locations you'd be welcome to check out*, as do others. You and Tori could playtest our shiny new stuff!

*as schedule and time allow

@Swith: Fleas would be a great addition. If nothing else, they'd certainly bug our warm fuzzy chars!
Also, hang in there like a mutant sugar glider on a ceiling. *nodnod*

So do i, though I'm thinking of having Sterling come along rather than mag or sakarias. Guy needs to get out more

Also, I'll be posting later today. Class, and having friends over should prevent it until 10 pm central us time!

Sounds awesome! I'll put the first post in at some point, maybe tomorrow or Sunday as this weekend's gonna be another busy one, and if anyone else wants to tag along they can join us.

[Primordial Luxa]

@Raiders players: I moved the group with my latest plost. We're now in the holodeck. There's a lot of information in the plost about the fire-lizards.

@Min and Agy: If I've made a mistake describing either the holodeck or the lizard, let me know.

@Prim: sorry if I mangled your writing style for Primordial. I did my best.

It looks really good. Thanks for going the extra step.
I'll get a response out soon. Thanks for the help this week, it's been appreciated.

CHARACTER PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS
Character Name: Bethany Shaw

Character Gender: Female

Species: Human Cyborg.

Character Occupation: Robotics and cyber-ware repair woman


OBJECTIVES
Primary Objectives are your character's main goals. This should be the thing that drives their part of the plot.

Examples include: acquiring weapons and becoming proficient with each one; improving sundered relations with a companion; improving their reading comprehension; mastering news spells; researching a cure for a plague; etc.

Objectives such as "making friends" or "finding love" are NOT acceptable. Please put much though into your character's objectives - they are what flesh out your character and one of the most important aspects necessary to portray the character as 3D.

BACKGROUND
Be detailed please. You must explain how your character aquired their skills, talents, abilities, and special items. Wrap your primary and secondary objectives into it.

Education or Training: Masters in math, robotics and cybernetics through Harvard University and was in high-school Orchestra and band. Along with constant exercise and lost her arm in an accident.

Character Background/Biography:

Bethany's best friend is easily her father. Their love of mechanics is what bonded them together and it wasn't unheard of for Bethany to be tucked under a car watching her dad work (much to her mom's disapproval). Her father identified her natural ability to take apart and understand the inner workings of engineering, reassemble and often questioned the mechanics right down to its efficiency.
At 16, her family moved to the U.S., as her dad had a promising career that couldn't be denied and that meant a better life (they were by no means rich). Bethany, however, withdrew from such a culture shock and often found herself with her siblings and her dad. Despite being even quieter and not taking school seriously because of it, her father - while not a very strict man - insisted that she get through school & college. Bethany did as much and worked full time to pay her way through. In time, she earned herself a Masters at the age of 26.
She had siblings and was the middle child to her two brothers, few friends, and often was the more reserved among her age group. It's not to say she wasn't friendly, supportive, or social, simply circumspect even at a young age. She opens up to those close to her, showing her reliability, care, and loyalty to those she holds dear.

Bethany and her mom don't always see eye-to-eye. Her mom prides herself in being a dutiful wife and mother, serious in her personal commitments and wholly dependent on her husband, whereas Bethany - holding a more independent outlook - rebels against such outdated characteristics and purposely sets herself apart by doing the opposite by staying independent and (quietly) headstrong. Heated debates/arguments between Bethany, her mom, and her siblings are not unheard of.
Her first (and last) job was at prestigious institute heading advancements in robotics, cybernetics and mechanical engineering. Sadly due to the institute's ever decreasing funds a power outage happened at the worst possible moment, she was demonstrating a new prosthetic to a few of her students when it ripped her arm off during malfunctioning. The incident made Bethany withdraw into herself, feeling a loss in confidence and even purpose as the prosthetic arm - while strong, capable and augmented her mental and physically abilities - was never truly accepted by her. It's an extension to her usefulness, not an attachment to her being, and therefore she somewhat hates it and indubitably reliant on it.

In the spoiler at the very first page, "intro to first mission", the bottom paragraphs says

"The later was hideous beyond all reason, though Minerva guessed Insidious might have found it attractive. Its body shifted, never assuming any fully recognizable form, as it kept watch over Gate and door. It never slept. It required no food nor did it need water. It simply Was, and what it was could not be defined. Demens had warned the cultists when they first arrived. He had extended that warning to all the Residents once he had unveiled his plan: Do Not Fuck With. Minerva had lived long enough under his employ to take his words to heart."

Shouldn't "later" be "latter"?

Anyway, I'm thinking of applying for Personofication Life.

Education or Training: Masters in math, robotics and cybernetics through Harvard University and was in high-school Orchestra and band. Along with constant exercise and lost her arm in an accident.

Character Background/Biography: Miss Bethany Shaw was born in Russia in the year 2045 on October 4th, she lived with her family of two brothers and sisters along with their two moms in Blagoveshchensk Russia. Soon after growing up to age 7 she entered the Russian school system where she learned the basics of math and history of the surrounding world, this was soon built upon during middle-school where she started going into the advance classes and entered her school's Orchestra and Band. Sadly at the age of 13 she lost her second mom to a mental illness that runs in the family. Two years latter her family moved to the US trying to escape the grief of their mom's death. That worked somewhat since while they still remember their dead mother they accepted it and moved on.

Fast forwarding past her high-school life she entered Harvard University seeking a Masters in cybernetics at the age of 19. Which in turn lead her graduating with a Masters in Robotics, Math and lastly her goal of Cybernetics at the age of 22. Soon she landed a job in the maintenance industry that payed her 2.50 and hour and gave her free dental and some light insurance. On her first two years of work she was a young prodigy solving problems left and right, but alas this came at a price. She lost her arm on the day of her birthday and she was never the same, sure she completed her jobs well enough and with efficiency but she did them with a detached indifference. She was stuck in this rut for the next two years until she was put on paid leave.

Please direct questions to the OP or the CoOPs. Thanks for applying. Bear in mind that it can take several days for applications to be approved; check back often.

Welcome! Cer makes the final approval on applications so it may take a few days before you get an update. That said, upon looking at your app you have a few things to tie in better. You've made her very smart, very strong to an extent, unstable yet not, and... well its looking all over the place. You put in some tidbits that might give insight to her personality, but it doesn't really go beyond the surface detail. My suggestion: try narrowing her personality in line to that of her abilities, she doesn't need to be a little of everything to be good at nothing.

You also have some unlisted skills/specializations. Masters at 19? Enhanced intellect at 2. Multi-lingual (English, Russian, Latin). Parkour equates to agility, dexterity and reflexes, perhaps even another physical attribute that should be a 1 or 2, though your app doesn't state where and why she developed an interest in this. Luck is not a skill, and will not be factored in or accepted.

All in all, your character skill is spread thin and I highly recommend that you try to narrow her down and make her skill set commensurate to the character you're trying to portray.

MAGICAL OR SPECIAL ITEMS
If it's not on this list, your character doesn't have it. Magical items are rare and hard to come by. Please list what they can/can't do - treat them like a supernatural thing. Items not allowed: anything that can alter time; anything that allows a character to teleport beyond a few feet.

List: Basic Cybernetic tuning and repair kit: It can tune certain cyberware and repair basic systems. Much like her arm.
Her cybernetic arm has a USB port on the wrist which allows her to scan some technology and download some data for later storage. Has a Geiger counter installed for the off chance she encounters radiation. Along with a wrist computer installed along with a AM radio receiver and built in music player.


BACKGROUND
Be detailed please. You must explain how your character aquired their skills, talents, abilities, and special items. Wrap your primary and secondary objectives into it.

Education or Training: Masters in math, robotics and cybernetics through Harvard University and was in high-school Orchestra and band. Along with constant exercise and lost her arm in an accident.

Character Background/Biography:

Bethany's best friend is easily her father. Their love of mechanics is what bonded them together and it wasn't unheard of for Bethany to be tucked under a car watching her dad work (much to her mom's disapproval). Her father identified her natural ability to take apart and understand the inner workings of engineering, reassemble and often questioned the mechanics right down to its efficiency.
At 16, her family moved to the U.S., as her dad had a promising career that couldn't be denied and that meant a better life (they were by no means rich). Bethany, however, withdrew from such a culture shock and often found herself with her siblings and her dad. Despite being even quieter and not taking school seriously because of it, her father - while not a very strict man - insisted that she get through school & college. Bethany did as much and worked full time to pay her way through. In time, she earned herself a Masters at the age of 26.
She had siblings and was the middle child to her two brothers, few friends, and often was the more reserved among her age group. It's not to say she wasn't friendly, supportive, or social, simply circumspect even at a young age. She opens up to those close to her, showing her reliability, care, and loyalty to those she holds dear.

Bethany and her mom don't always see eye-to-eye. Her mom prides herself in being a dutiful wife and mother, serious in her personal commitments and wholly dependent on her husband, whereas Bethany - holding a more independent outlook - rebels against such outdated characteristics and purposely sets herself apart by doing the opposite by staying independent and (quietly) headstrong. Heated debates/arguments between Bethany, her mom, and her siblings are not unheard of.
Her first (and last) job was at prestigious institute heading advancements in robotics, cybernetics and mechanical engineering. Sadly due to the institute's ever decreasing funds a power outage happened at the worst possible moment, she was demonstrating a new prosthetic to a few of her students when it ripped her arm off during malfunctioning. The incident made Bethany withdraw into herself, feeling a loss in confidence and even purpose as the prosthetic arm - while strong, capable and augmented her mental and physically abilities - was never truly accepted by her. It's an extension to her usefulness, not an attachment to her being, and therefore she somewhat hates it and indubitably reliant on it.

Please direct questions to the OP or the CoOPs. Thanks for applying. Bear in mind that it can take several days for applications to be approved; check back often.

Nicely rounded character. Please add two freebie points to her engineering. (Makes it 4 points for that skill). Approved. I'll add your tab in a bit.

All characters enter the setting the same way. We'll send a team to the Gatehouse to retrieve her. Luckily I'm already in the process of crafting the post for Ched's sake.

Gio, would you mind a bit of sappy exposition in lieu of interaction? I can sweep both characters to the Gatehouse in a single post.

Anything's fine with me.

Character Occupation: Robotics and cyber-ware repair woman


OBJECTIVES
Primary Objectives are your character's main goals. This should be the thing that drives their part of the plot. When not engaged in stories, these are what occupy your character's thoughts or keep them busy. Examples include: acting on a desire to become a powerful and respected leader; attempting to overcome some horrible thing in the past which hinders the character on a day-to-day basis; seeking to break out their shell by overcoming profound shyness (getting involved with stories); comping to terms with a major flaw that inhibits the character from reaching full potential; etc.

Secondary Objectives are minor goals. These should be an undercurrent for your character when they are engaged in stories or on their free time. Examples include: acquiring weapons and becoming proficient with each one; improving sundered relations with a companion; improving their reading comprehension; mastering news spells; researching a cure for a plague; etc.

Objectives such as "making friends" or "finding love" are NOT acceptable. Please put much though into your character's objectives - they are what flesh out your character and one of the most important aspects necessary to portray the character as 3D.

Primary Objective: Trying to reinvent herself in a land where gods roam freely and learn that change does happen and it can be good and bad.

Secondary Objectives: Improving her cybernetic arm, teaching herself how to sketch again and re learning the Violin. Along with some exercise to trim up some body fat.


MUNDANE SKILLS
These do NOT require points. These are the average, daily things your character can do. Examples are "drive a car", "speak one Foreign Language", "play a guitar", "write poetry". Some mundane skills come from your bio and are freebie. A soldier has gone through Basic training. However, Medic, martial arts or sniper would be a Specialized Skill or Talent.

List Mundane skills here Read and write Latin, driving a car and playing the Violin. Some advanced trigonometry, algebra and speaking fluently in Russian and English. Along with basic Parkour skills, nothing special. Along with the repair and tuning of some cybernetic things.

Sonic Scream, Levitation, Spell Casting, Shape Shifting etc. Superman MUST have his kryptonite thus weaknesses are things which inhibit the ability. Restrictions are what can't they do with their power or what balances it. They can only use it when they genuinely need it? They can't use it for more then five minutes without serious side-effects? Some things are allowed without points. A pegasus has wings thus it can fly. A raptor is fast thus no points are spent in speed. These "natural" abilities should be listed here, however. What isn't allowed: teleportation beyond a few feet; the ability to alter or go back/forward in time.

TY Gio. Will wrap up the post shortly.

No posts from me tonight. Very long day.

[Cerillium]

Welcome back, Prim.

No posts from me tonight. Very long day.

I hear you. I want to crawl into bed but I'm staying awake until the fennec gets home.

@Min. I'll have something basic for our collab shortly. I scrubbed my initial draft.

@Ched and UEF. Your characters are at the Gatehouse now. They would have no memory of leaving their home dimension, nor of arriving in Gallimaufry. Technology on their person will not record the event, naturally. Also, cell phones or other communication devices are no longer able to send/receive.

UEF, some players bring their characters in moments before they're about to die in their original dimension (car crash, plane crash, explosion, etc). You're free to set up whatever history you'd like prior to Demens yanking her from her world.
