Then I say by electric current, but it takes a little while.

[sjm9876]

Name: Mayo Kingsley
(Auto)Biography: Do you know how hard it is for a Physicist to get funding? Too damn hard, that's how much. Especially when the world seems out to get you. I mean, come on - I lost my wife to cancer and my research grant in the same week. And do you have any idea how hard it is to raise rent and raise a daughter at the same goddamn time?
 Then I got to thinking. You know how basically everyhting's conserved? Mass and energy? Momentum? Why not luck? And if it was, then the world owed me a whole goddamn lot.
 So I was lying there, desperate, when this plan comes to me. I'm not saying it was a good plan, but hell, it was a good plan. I've always been good with computers. And you know what's my favourite part about them? They make sense. At least more sense than a grants council. All it takes is a one here, a nought there, and suddenly that door slides open, the till pops out, and by the time the cops hear about it the traffic lights have jammed the roads up thicker than a neutron star. A nice sack of cash, and if you're careful how you use it, no one ever knows.
 And for everything that goes wrong, something goers right. Maybe my wife's watching over me. Maybe I'm just damn flukey. But it works, and I sure ain't complaining.
Description: Mayo is the kind of man who blends into the background. Put him in a janitor's uniform and he may as well be invisible. He is half cast, standing avergae height, with an average build and average looks. Just average really.

Name: Jakob Haynes
Biography: The guy is about five foot nine, with dark, combed hair, hazel eyes, and a muffler or bandana perpetually covering his lower head. His nose is broken, and a chunk is missing of his ear. Haynes has always been about life in the fast lane. He has been a successful getaway driver on a number of occasions, and is kinda shaky and nervous that the police are 'gonna be after me any day, now!'.
Three months ago, he was driving for the biggest job yet - a four-man stealth heist of a major bank. They got in undetected, got a grand total of 9 million in large bills and gold bar, but tripped the building alarm by accident on the way out. Jakob managed to get them out of the area just in time to avoid the police cars' investigation, but the effort was for nought - one of their contacts filched a few duffel bags of money and went for the police. Luckily, he hadn't given his name, so when the police raid hit the gang hideout, his comrades in crime couldn't give him away. Somehow, he caused a diversionslipped away from the raid without being spotted, and down the road before the police realised they were one perp short. He's been tracking the guy who ratted them out and got his coworkers life sentences across four cities now, eking a living as a taxi driver, trying to work out how sometimes he just does the strange things that got him his freedom.
Class: Driver
Power/Feat: Spell.
Job:Taxi driver
Needs: To get revenge: on the rat who turned the gang in, then skipped town with 2.1 million from the big job.

Do want.

Spoiler: Derya (click to show/hide)

Name: Derya Nithra
Class: Hacker, Long Range
Biography:
Derya was abandoned at a very young age, and drifted from orphanage to orphanage. Eventually, at the age of 16, she managed to land a small time job and pay rent and for an internet connection. Smart but lacking money, Derya used the internet to learn after high school, and began to learn... new sources of income. She eventually managed to use illicit activity to upgrade her internet to an unlimited plan, and took online schooling. Able to get just enough schooling for specialized jobs, she quit her old job at a local fast food joint and picked up working at a small computer repair store. While she often works the counter, she's quite valuable at fixing software issues as well.

Power/Feat: Ritual:
Ouroboros Medusae: Derya is able to induce death in someone with a glare. She cannot do this more than once, and must recharge this ability to use it again- only, however, if it works. The target must make eye contact with her and the effect is not instant, however, the person will suffer from sudden heart failure mere moments after receiving her glare. Her signature is that rigor mortis sets in very quickly in those she's killed in this way.

To recharge her ability, she must bleed into a silver basin while chanting a semi-latin incantation. The only parts she's managed to translate involve snakes and the phrase "To the business at hand. As I am, you will be." (Age quot agis. Tu fui, ego eris.)

The incantation takes time, and must be done in darkness. It does not need to be complete darkness, but it should be hard to see at the least.

She dislikes having this ability, but is thankful it can be controlled. She generally tries to keep it at the ready, just in case. She found out about it when she was being mugged and was able to kill him- somehow, her subconscious took over, and guided her through the ritual afterwards. From there, she was able to control her ability.

Job: Computer Repair Store, clerk. Business is fairly rare.

Burden: Derya desperately wants to know why she has such a supernatural ability, and has done large amounts of research on the idea. She's very sure she's somehow connected to Medusa/gorgons as well as snakes in general, but knows nothing else.

She has a very good friend which is addicted to drugs, although nothing hard enough to cause him to no longer function in society. Sometimes, Derya's friend will need to stay for a while in Derya's crappy apartment, most of the time because he ran out of rent or got kicked out of his apartment.

Cool. Remember, you'll be able to do other things as well with the ritual set-up, but it's otherwise good.

[Coolrune206]

So we got lotsa people ready, may we get a starting date/time?

[Fniff]

Well, there are still people who haven't written their sheets, and I have to decide which are the best.

[Xantalos]

Well, there are still people who haven't written their sheets, and I have to decide which are the best.

If you mean me, feel free to start without. I just want to eventually get in.

[Fniff]

Nope, there is still plenty of people in reserve. Anyway, as I said, this isn't first come first serve.

[Dorsidwarf]

What's your player limit on this?

Char sheet up.

[Fniff]

Seven people, though I could go with 8 or 6.

[Flying Dice]

Seven seems magically appropriate.

[Fniff]

As does 8, if you're a fan of discworld.

[Flying Dice]

As does 8, if you're a fan of discworld.

True enough. Eight also happens to be my favorite number.
