((Okay, let's go through the few things I need to address. First of all skills should be very specific. You can't just say 'Gives a bonus to [WHATEVER]'. You have to say what the bonus would be. If your entrant has a penchant for unarmed combat, give him a +1 to it. If they're a master of magic, give them a +2 to magical attack/defense. If you're a sentient wave...well, give them an immunity to fire and physical attacks, and a severe weakness to electric attacks.

Which brings me to my next point.

Monkeyhead. A large wave would be a bit...hard to use as a character. How about we treat you as a sentient, rather large cube of water? As long as you're in that cube form, you can hold it, and move around through...lack of logic, I dunno.

And finally, I want to point out how SSG, GWG, and Toaster are some of the best examples for character range in a game like this I could possibly ask for. We have A (Sentient) Toaster, a Super-ish human guy, and a fucking dragon. Oh, and then there's Derm, but whatever.))

The artwork relates to the encasing of the HMRC in metal by Pancaek during the Mission of Many People.))

((BTW, so far for entrants, we have Artemis, the Toaster, -.-, Derm, GWG, A Cube of water/Tsunami, and The Question/Vic Sage. Now that's what I call a roster. I'll probably take one more person to bump it to an even 8, or three to make it 10. Probably the one more for 8, though.

And as I type that, we have our eighth entrant! Everyone's good, unless Kansa posts an entrant, and as long as Monkeyhead decides how he wants his character to play out.

SO, I'll start writing the opening turn thingy.))

(Heh, fair enough. I'll make the changes real quick. Just wasn't fully sure of what would be exactly appropriate stat-wise, but I suppose I'll just wing it and hope that they aren't too unreasonable/underpowered.)

Well, I just said teleportation, but his skill is time manipulation. Which means, if I wanted to, I could bust out my freaking complications.

Hmm, I haven't picked an avatar for this forum yet, and/or have yet to move my regular one here...
And said regular one is between super weight 5 and 6.

I'll just have to post to watch, I guess. With derm in it will be an interesting read.

I left mine without a number so as to be open to GM balancing.  If you're looking for me to add one, I'd say +2 or +3, since it's a fairly specific resistance.
