[Neither of these is concealed for secrecy reasons, they're just textdumps I don't want taking up screenspace they don't need to. I intend to write an update tonight, after dinner.]

Spoiler: Some questions before you get into the game proper (click to show/hide)

Are you arriving on your own, or with the Relief Caravan?

Are you a local with initiative or, like the other players, are you a soul from halfway across the Multiverse dropped into the body of a local?

Are you sure you only want a few low-level skills and no technical interests? You aren't starting as a level one fighter with a wooden sword, you're either an active part of the world with the gumption and expertise to head for a hazardous borderland outpost in the middle of a war, or someone with skills nobody local to the world has, dropped here by powers you don't understand.

Spoiler: Basic settingdump to get you a basic OOC understanding of current events (click to show/hide)

The players are a random selection of people from everywhere in the Multiverse, currently the de-facto government of a borderlands mining-shaft-turned-research-base as a war between the great powers of the world begins. Being in possession of knowledge from far more advanced worlds, they already have everything from a magitek artificially sentient automaton to crude submachine guns and a hydroelectric dam. The fortress is currently partially cut off from the surface, with surface approaches hazardous as a result of the radioactive contamination caused by the nearby death of a demigod. The world's magic is being drained severely by an unknown force to the East of the fortress, the same direction in which the initial battles of the growing war are being fought.

(Mutiverse, and I wanted a character kinda basic because I wasn't sure how this'l all play out, I kinda want to have specialization in A.I if possible, I.E Microchips, computers, so forth.
How am I suppose to enter the fortress if radiation is around it? is there a entrance that isn't covered in it, I was thinking that I'd come from outside the fort, but if there are dwarves who aren't possessed per say then I guess I can take control of them, seeing the current situation would make it kinda hard to enter without a nice dosage of radiation, not that I don't want mutations XD) (Oh and another thing, I imagine if the A.I thing is acceptable, it'd be more like coding, My character might not have enough experience to make proper A.I till later on.)

[Amperzand]

[Oh, you get radiation either way, it's just not a terribly immediate concern unless you start using the ash as seasoning. It's been a week since the blast, even with a nuke the radiation would be down to pretty survivable levels, and whatever the contaminant is in this case, it's present in reasonably small quantities and has a long half-life, so you wouldn't be in any immediate danger as long as you took ingestion precautions. If you want a dwarf in the fort itself that's perfectly doable, there's about five hundred of em'.]

<<Coding and computers and things are fairly far off, however. You could attempt to help with that if you want.>>

[Codyrex123]

(So... I can have coding knowledge, and I can also know how to make a computer, maybe? I dunno how OP that would be, I was thinking that at some point I can make sorting and such more efficient, and if possible, creating robotic creatures.
I think the limiting factor for this idea setup is the resources at hand, Also, I'd love to help advance the fortress's technology.
As for the radiation, hmm... Is a relief caravan suppose to arrive any time soon?)

[Amperzand]

[It arrives next update, or in other words at the end of the week the players' currently posted actions are taking place in.]

[Amperzand]

[Sorry about the double-post, I'm about 60% done with the update writing, but it's taking longer than usual, I've had a tiring day, and it's getting late. Should be properly up some time tomorrow.]

[Cody, I'm currently assuming you arrive as a civilian worker with the Relief Caravan, if you want that to be otherwise, let me know.]

[chaotic skies]

<<It's fine, amp. Just take care of yourself and real life, we can wait. I'd rather wait a few days than have you up for 3 days straight GMing and then disappear for a looong time or something.>>

[Amperzand]

[I only do that when there's nothing else going on and am feeling especially free of writer's block. :V As-is, I don't have the leeway to spend too much time on this, but do have enough interest and free time to spend some. Don't worry, if there's something more important going on, it gets prioritized, you may notice how it has affected my update "Schedule".]

[chaotic skies]

<<That's a funny joke. Heh, "Schedule". This mess? Being planned? Are you insane?>>

[Amperzand]

[Y'all keep talking about these "plan" things, what would one a' them be?]

[chaotic skies]

<<I heard they're one of those things that is ah good thing, but we're just fine without one!>>

[Amperzand]

[Heh. In all seriousness, I do have at least an outline idea of what's going on in the world at large, but the finer details of the "plot" and actual update events are produced by improvisation.]

[chaotic skies]

<<I figured you had a "THIS IS THE BAD GUY, HE DOES STUFF" paper or something somewhere, but there's too much insanity to try and plan out the updates >>

[Amperzand]

[Pretty much, without anything so stable as actual notes. I have the things that are definitely happening, whether the players are involved or not, and then a bunch of random ideas that will get implemented depending on what seems appropriate and when people start dying in earnest.]

[chaotic skies]

<<I'm morbidly curious about who dies first>>
