Hmm... I know that Athletics (Sprinting) should be fine; I copied that directly from the book. Computers (Information Security) is supposed to encompass everything from anti-virus/spyware programs to setting up firewalls to hacking (since I've always thought that the people who set up the security are best equipped to bypassing it), but if that's too broad for you it can easily be limited to just setting up the security, or maybe just hacking into a system that doesn't have a sysadmin on duty or something. As for Firearms (Handguns), I think that Handguns is specific enough. Right?

As for my backstory, well, in all honesty I thought most of it up yesterday in about ten minutes and filled in the details on the fly today. I have no idea myself what could be going on, so it's gonna be quite the ride to see what you make of it.

World of Darkness? Count me in.

Ok, got around to the numbers now. As usual, I'm assuming you can do basic math. Everything else checks out.
Your specialties are a little too vague. Academics (History) works, though it won't help in obtaining in depth knowledge and instead in more general and broader things. Occult (Superstitions) is far too vague, you should specify what sort of superstitions (regional, regarding certain types of superstitions, old wives tales, religious?), Sales Pitches sounds fine.
Having Hailfire as a third employee is fine, if you want.

I'm not sure that's enough backstory and if i calculated everything correctly ( i never played wod before) so let me know if something's wrong.

Blahblah assumptions blah basic math blah.
Your dots check out. 5 in drive seems a tad cheesy, but that's fine whatever. Your specialties are mostly ok, but I have no clue what Crafts (Jury-Rigging) could possibly mean or do. Please specify that.

Your specialties are fine. Though Information Security will only help with certain kinds of hacking (developing a trojan or key-logger, for example, is probably a different purview, but cracking a firewall, jailbreaking an ipod, or remotely installing aforementioned trojan would fit). As I said to Simple, starting with 5 dots in something seems a bit odd, since that's effectively saying that you are the best of the best and making headway into new and amazing variations of that skill (and if that's the case, why are you not famous?), but I'll let it slide because it's not that horrific and it comes at the cost of dots in other skills.

E: In any case, I'm adding all three of you to the player list since you're basically good to go. First post on my part will be sometime tonight.

Oh, good. That's a relief. As for starting off with 5 dots, I actually thought of that, and that's why I decided to make her Vice Sloth. Essentially, she's incredibly good at things related to Computers, but she's too lazy to really make anything of the talent beyond what she needs in order to live comfortably. It's a bit of a convenient explanation, but it satisfied me.

Ninja'd Edit: Plus, I also hinted at that in her backstory, when I mentioned her "breezing by college" and stuff. I may ask to have negative modifiers on some of my less "important" checks in order to reflect her laziness, as well, if that's okay. I don't mind if I don't get the bonus for being all sloth-y.

Haha that works for me, gods know I know enough people just like that in real life

[HailFire]

Welp, that certainly took long enough.

[Deep Waters]

Welp, that certainly took long enough.

Oh wow. I just skimmed through this a bit, but I can already tell that Liz will probably hate Charlie; they're almost the exact opposite of each other.

And I know what you mean by taking a long time. For me, it was mostly my indecisiveness. I kept wanting to give her different skills or merits, but the sheet doesn't let you remove the dot once you put it in. I finally figured out a workaround using Chrome's unique script-editing capabilities, but by then I was almost finished anyway. --'

I mostly got hung up on the backstory, and getting pulled away from the keyboard constantly. And maybe not hate, but she's certainly got plenty to be envious of. 

Well, except for the whole evil-voice-mindfuckery thing.

Also, you can double-click dots to remove them.

You can double-click the dot, actually, and it will go away about 25% of the times you try it.

Anywho: First IC post is up. The newspaper only changes every Sunday, so that post will mostly remain the same. I tried to give you all something to do to start, even if it's hilariously mundane.

I had the same problem...you're not alone.

In all seriousness, though, that made my day. I only figured it out via experimentation after I messed up myself.

Having Hailfire as a third employee is fine, if you want.

For specialities I just used the default ones but since you want specifics:
The history speciality is from a two year community college course so I don't mind that it can't help with the in-depth stuff.
For superstitions, I guess I'll go with protection; stuff like using salt to stop demons, iron knives under doors to stop witches, that kind of stuff.

Sounds good to me

First buzzing, then voices.

Actually, it's supposed to be just the one voice. But multiple voices is fine too.

Ah, my bad.

One voice is fine, if you'd rather have it that way. It can go either way, with what I have in mind.
