Never played ER, but seeing as it's an RTD, if there is not already too many peeplez, I shall make a sheet shortly

[Dutrius]

Well, this gave me an excuse to use a random name generator I made.

Spoiler: Character! (click to show/hide)

Name: Durmokh Dumrhysson (You can shorten it to Durmokh)
Race: Dwarf

Stats
Str: 0
Con: +1
Speed: 0
Dex: +1
Int: -1
Mem: 0
Will: -1
Cha: 0

Skills:
Unarmed: 0
Blunt: 0
Sharp: 0
Ranged: +1
Magic: -2
Medicine: +1
Gen Knowledge: 0
Skill Mastery/Specialization: 0 : Crossbows, Cheese making, Field Triage (slapping on a bandage/plaster cast and telling the wounded to walk it off).

Description: He is average in size. His long, auburn beard is split into two braids. His medium length auburn hair is straight. His eyebrows are bushy. His eyes are a steely grey. When possible, he prefers to consume cheese, bacon and rhubarb wine. He absolutely detests slugs.
How did you become part of the Omega Legion?: Murder, vandalism of a tavern and assaulting a noble with a cat.

Background: Durmokh was a once proficient cheese maker in a large Dwarven colony. Sadly, this colony had no milkable animals, so he got drafted into the militia as a marksdwarf. One day while drunk and off duty in the colony's tavern, Durmokh got into a heated argument with a lye maker (there was nothing to make lye from either) over how important their professions were. The argument got so heated, the lye maker hit the mug of ale out of Durmokh's hand. This is probably the worst insult someone can give to a dwarf, even worse than calling one an elf. Durmokh flipped out, flipped a couple of andesite tables, beat the lye maker to death with his microcline mug, and while still tantruming, threw a cat at a passing broker. Then once he'd calmed down, the sheriff came, arrested him and sent him here.

"Ack, where's the damned alcohol in this damned place?"

[Pancaek]

Sorry I didn't post this yesterday, I went to see the new star wars movie. It was pretty good. Anyway, how's this for my character?

-Innate magic: calculations (farseeing for robutts)
-Alchemy
-Medic

Description: A 6 foot tall clockwork automaton, given life by some unknown magical process that fuels its core. It is a rather pleasant dull brass on the outside, with the clockwork and magical core safely on the inside.
How did you become part of the Omega Legion?: This one was originally made by a rather arrogant magister who used it as a portable alchemy device and give it its horribly embarrasing name. After one too many times of being made to calculate the possibility of being able to turn lead to gold, this one snapped and clubbed the magister to death with the magister's ornate ivory throne. This one tried to find the user manual to reset this one's name, but the magister had been using it to scribble silly faces when bored. It was later seized and giving to the Omega legion.
Background: This one gets angry when it needs to do things many times over. Does this one need to remind the meatbag of this?

[TheBiggerFish]

@TBF, "sapient".  Unless you mean your character is incapable of abstract thought, in which case, good luck!

Yes, sapient.  Ish.  Y.  Perhaps.  Who knows how good the AI is.

Is there a separate IC?

Because if not then there should be.

[Harry Baldman]

Is there a separate IC?

Because if not then there should be.

The OOC chatter will dry up when the game begins. No need for a separate thread until the game grows sufficiently to invite speculation the way ER does.

[TheBiggerFish]

((Still think there should be an IC, every game with this many players that I've been in has one.))

[Harry Baldman]

((Still think there should be an IC, every game with this many players that I've been in has one.))

"The cool kids are doing it" is not a very compelling argument. Function over form, good sir, function over form. Besides, Perplexicon didn't have one, and ER only obtained one when the on-ship thread started buckling under the mountains of OOC.

Not to get on your case, of course. It's just that most OOC threads I've observed have been entirely useless and only complicated oversight of a particular game, and have been put up by GMs who vastly overestimate a game's longevity and amount of chatter. So I have a vested interest in reducing the proliferation of such threads - add them as needed, not for their own sake.

[Ozarck]

Ah . ahem .-cough-. Eleven character sheets, and we're still missing a couple of the reserved players. (Lenglon and twinwolf, specifically, with NAV and Xan bot hexpressing interest in teh ER ooc and building characters there)

Okay, so here's where we stand with everyone's sheets:

Template: needs three specializations and a race
U_P: Good
Egan: Good. Fantastic. perfect. you are now recruited to spot check sheets for errors.
tryrar: needs stats and skills adjusted and needs skill specializations
TheBiggerFish: Good
syvarris: you can change your specializations. as for magic, might I recommend druidic? nature magic. a perk is that high skill gives you transformations. Since, you know, Kitty's master was a druid and all. otherwise, good.
Harry: Good as usual always a pleasure watching your character creation and development
Dutrius: Beautiful. Bayut12ul
Maegil: you need three specializations and you are good. Drinking, dimensional step, and acrobatics might fit your character theme, based on what you put in the ER OOC
Pancaek: you're selling yourself short, Bruh. you need 2 negative levels for your positive stats, and 4 negative for your positive skills. also, "Specialization"  is treated as a skill, so you currently have a 0 in specialization. Otherwise looks good.

-2 spec gives 0 slots
-1 gives 2 slots
0 gives 3 slots                   <- you have three specializations listed
+1 gives 4 slots
+2 gives 5
+3 gives 6
+4 gives 7

Moonlit: you also have too many negatives. You only need 4 negative for each stats and skills with the positives you have.
Unfortunately, sorcery is off limits for a construct, as sorcery relies on certain organic ...stuff.  I'll think of a better way to describe that later maybe. Think about what the creators put in her, and go from there. Maybe something like Mechanical Magic: Improved Function, since her creators wanted a metal creature to fly and move fast and all. Essentially that would give her the ability to increase a stat or skill roll for a price, and maybe influence other machinery or constructs.

All clear on how stats skills and races work? No? Good.

((Still think there should be an IC, every game with this many players that I've been in has one.))

I'm leaning toward Harry's recommendation. I haven't managed a game large enough to need one yet, so maybe we wait a bit and see where it goes. I'm open to the idea though.

[TheBiggerFish]

Look, this thread is already accumulating pages of stuff we don't want nor need in an IC thread.

And we have like 15 people.

[Pancaek]

argh, I forgot about the special rule concerning the second +1. I redid it, it should be alright now. I think.

Look, this thread is already accumulating pages of stuff we don't want nor need in an IC thread.

And we have like 15 people.

Yes, but the game hasn't started yet. Once everyone has got their characters in order most of this OOC stuff will die down.

[Maegil]

Maegil: you need three specializations and you are good. Drinking, dimensional step, and acrobatics might fit your character theme, based on what you put in the ER OOC

Nae, sonny, ye're wrong. What we're good at is drinkin', fightin' an' stealin', and donna be mistakenin' it for some woossie acrobatics caperin' or Imma gonna kick yer nog off.
As fer Dimmen... dimet... tha' step thing, well, imma nae so verra good at it, ye ken...

((What does acrobatics do? Depending, I could choose it instead of stealing, or on a level up.))

[Nunzillor]

PTW

[Ozarck]

Maegil, I'm listing your fighting skill as unarmed: brawling, unlessyou'd like to edit that. Acrobatics would help with the falls from heights and leaeping about and stuff, but stealing seems more in line with your character so it's up to you.

Twinwolf: looks good. except the rifles skill. No rifles exist in this realm. Also ... that pic plus a -2 charisma ... She must be a total #$@!* or something. Ah well, most of the characters in the game so far wouldn't likely look twice at her anyway, so there's that.

Pan, looks good.
