You know what will really throw us off. Another gate team, from another company, with tech that we don't have, and arcane powers. In a castle. That they were just trying to invade.

Edit.
Or being asked to fight in a war for the expiation of the company. A corporate takedown. But of a country.

[Twinwolf]

We kind of got that.

Except they were immediately murdered by a Denizen.

[LordPorkins]

*Sigh*

Ruin has come to our family.

((Ok lets stop now))

[Twinwolf]

Looking at the character list, I just noticed that there's only one character with any appearance description at all. So question to fellow players (Except LordPorkins, as Frazz was recently described because dragon):

What do your characters look like?

[Insanegame27]

Zachary Miller, 26 years old, is a systems analyst for the corporation. He works in a lovely air-conditioned office and is on an okeyish payroll. Or rather, he was all that. It all changed when he was caught hacking into a higher-up's computer while the higher-up was watching [REDACTED] and playing video games on the other. When the higher-up in question found out about this he rapidly transferred Zachary to the next team heading through a gate. The affair he had been having with the higher-up's girlfriend didn't help much either.
He has little to no firearms training, the little pistol strapped to his waist more of a formality than anything else. However, growing up Zachary had always loved knives and had been employed at the circus for three weeks throwing them. When he was assigned to the prestigious 'Foxhounds' team the first thing he did was invest in a good quality set of throwing knives and stores them strapped to his back. He also has a Melot honor knife in a sheathe on his belt. His only ballistic weapon is the 92FS Beretta.
Being a systems analyst, his Rosetta Tablet PDA has all the tools he needs to infiltrate nearly any system.
He knows how to fly a helicopter. Be warned though, landing will be bumpy.


Zachary Miller is more dexterous and strong than he looks, and he doesn't look too good. He is of average height, rather thin and looks like he hasn't shaved for a week. His hair may have been nice and neat once, but now it looks as though he has gotten out of bed. He is in no way a soldier, and unless piloting a gunship, will run away at the slightest provocation if he has not got someone with him at all times.


Officially, Zachary has never fired a gun before, as system analysts were expected to never need to use guns, so no systems analyst has got any actual shooting experience. His first time shooting an actual gun was in the very short time before his first (and maybe last) mission with the Foxhounds when one member took him to a firing range. He has ten loose [currency name here]s on him when he has finished renting out his equipment. The money could come in handy with a bribe.

[LordPorkins]

So... Uh, what exactly should i spend skillpoints on? My stats are on a level to the point where they are incalculable/unreasonably high with the current system, i cant do most of the skills, and i lack the manipulation to fire a non-specificied gun.

[~Neri]

A given hard skill costs 3 points per level up. A given very hard is 4 per level up. Easy is 1 per. Average is 2 per.

[LordPorkins]

...... That answers nothing. I want suggestions on what skills i should take

[~Neri]

I said that and promptly passed out. Apologies for the unhelpfulness induced by sleep deprivation.

I think the general policy for if ya need skills that don't exist has been "Come up with one and the GM'll assign a difficulty to it"

So just come up with any skill you think would be fun for dragon!Frazz to have.

[LordPorkins]

......Frazz would like to spend his points...... Making himself look badass?

[~Neri]

I don't think that's a skill. Think of it from the following perspective: You are making a skill check for an action. What would be the logical skill to roll for?
