Whoops

EDIT: sheet is done.

[Lenglon]

1) Attempting to import Tanya from P&P 1/2:
Starhammer faction, but considering she's being imported from the old games, I don't care if Haemic Corp people check her character sheet.

Spoiler: Design notes for Tanya (click to show/hide)

Name: Tanya Xelcarostia
Appearance: Green eyes, tan skin, brown hair bound in a ponytail,  with moderately angular facial features. Short but strong, with splotchy brown leather clothing.
Personality: Quiet, shy, cautious, sneaky, alert, cunning. She doesn't talk a whole lot to people she doesn't know, but will open up after she's had a chance to get to know you.
XP: 12
Health: Okay.
Traits:
   Nopain ((Takes no negative effects from pain. Ever.))
   Flaming Blood ((Your blood catches fire when it leaves your body, and burns hot. You take no damage from this fire.))
   Lifeline ((Advantage to selfshape fox-like features. However, you cannot go more than 30 meters from you familiar, and if she dies, you die))
   Otherworldly
Inventory:

Mana: 3/3
Push: 4/2
Tether: Familiar (Swift Fox)
Powers:
   Selfshifting
   Lightshifting
   Pockets
   Breakbolt (Rolls against Push when cast, but does not increase Push. Otherwise acts like Elebolt. Breaks things.)

So, what do my new breakbolts look like, and how did I discover the changes to my abilities?

[spoiler]Dark and oily. Something between a shadow and an oil spill, with the slightest hint of a colorful rainbow. Upon contact with any object, it will perform the smallest possible kinetic action to "break" that object. Meaning that it will fairly peacefully rip a sheet of paper in half, but deliver a much stronger impact against a steel plate, as more force is needed to break steel than paper. Contact with machines will likewise be less-energetic affairs, simply slipping cogs out of alignment and such.

Spoiler: Tanya Xelcarostia (click to show/hide)

Advancement Points: (You start with 2 AP when you make your first character, and gain 1 whenever you die or kill an enemy. You keep AP between lives.)
Favor Points: (You start with 0, and may gain some at mission end depending on performance. You keep FP between lives.)

Name: Tanya Xelcarostia
Physical Description: Green eyes, tan skin, brown hair bound in a ponytail,  with moderately angular facial features. Short but strong, with splotchy brown leather clothing.
Backstory: A mage that was part of the very first contact team between the Starhammer and Haemic Corp, she's had a bit of a rough time of it. After a convoy she was with got ambushed, she Blinked her entire team out of there. Problem is, she herself got a bit... stuck... during the trip. She did eventually make it back, but she came back... changed. She's now quite literally an otherworldly being, and she's bound to her familiar, a swift fox named Rose, in a much more extreme way than most mages. Even her abilities seemed to have been changed by the incident.

Faction: Starhammer
Class: Mage (Shifter)
Traits: Nopain ((Takes no negative effects from pain. Ever.))
   Flaming Blood ((Your blood catches fire when it leaves your body, and burns hot. You take no damage from this fire.))
   Lifeline ((Advantage to selfshape fox-like features. However, you cannot go more than 30 meters from you familiar, and if she dies, you die))
   Otherworldly ((I don't actually know the full effects of this, ask the GM.))
Health: Fine.
Mana: 3/3
Push: 4/0
Tether: Familiar (Swift Fox)
Powers:
   Selfshifting
   Lightshifting
   Pockets
   Breakbolt (Rolls against Push when cast, but does not increase Push. Otherwise acts like Elebolt. Breaks things.)
Equipment:
   Silenced Marksman's Rifle
   First aid kit
   Travel pack with food/water/survival gear
   3 harmless smoke grenades
   1 white phosphorus incendiary smoke grenade
   Demolition charges, Rocket Launchers, loaded mortar tubes, etc (in Pockets)

2) And making a generic grunt because it's unreasonable to expect to always play a fancy character.
Starhammer Faction

Spoiler: Erin (click to show/hide)

Advancement Points: 2
Favor Points: 0

Name: Erin
Physical Description: A small-ish woman with long-ish dark hair in a ponytail and purple eyes, she is very direct in conversation, going from objective to objective with very little smalltalk. She has some old scars on her left arm that seem indicative of regular injections in that area, but they've mostly faded, with no recent exposure. She wears gloves the vast majority of the time, and walks slightly hunched over anytime she isn't paying attention to her posture. She actually enjoys the feel of wind, goes running for fun routinely, and would go skydiving if she could afford to do so.

Faction: Starhammer
Class: Gun Warrior
Traits:
     Deadly
     Athlete
     Frail
Health: Fine
Equipment:
     Bulletproof Vest
     Assault Rifle
     Molotovs

Push no longer builds up and so doesn't need to be tracked. It was kinda an eh mechanic and the exact way it worked was unintuitive. So now you just get potentially badder stuff from critfails and overshoots.

Since Tethers would now just be regular powers, I suppose that Tanya costs 1 AP to play, having a total of 5 powers.

Um, that doesn't sound right. she's a mage character, shouldn't that cost more?

[Egan_BW]

Only one hero character per mission, but base level heroes cost 0 just like base level grunts.

[King Zultan]

Hope I've done this right.

Haemic Corp

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Advancement Points: 2 AP
Favor Points: 0

Name: Billy Bob
Physical Description: Looks and smells like a homeless man
Personality: Probably not sane.
Backstory: Nobody wants a hobo around especially one that stabs or murders people that get close to him, so into the army he went.

Faction: Haemic Corp
Class: Penal Conscript
Traits:
 Positive: Aware, Tough
 Negative: Bastard
Health: Fine

Equipment:
 Flak Vest
 Remote Shock Collar
 Double-Barrel Shotgun

[Egan_BW]

Wellllll, I'd prefer if we didn't have Dull Rose / Haemic Corp giving people the death penalty just for being homeless, they're villainous enough as it is don't you think? I mean they all live on a space ship, they'd probably just pressgang someone who really doesn't have any place to be.

[King Zultan]

Then I shall change it should probably do that anyway as I forgot to mention all the stabbing.

[syvarris]

Oh, more P&P!  Awesome!

I see the docs aren't done yet, so I won't make a char yet, but definitely joining Haemic Corp.  Maybe Narcissus will return once more.

Also, I like the idea of the winning faction getting to choose the next mission type/environment.  You can still balance whatever they choose to do so both sides have advantages, but it just gives a nice incentive to do well.  I want to play a sniper, as always, so getting to choose a sniper-suitable area would be a good incentive for me.

[Dustan Hache]

Nope. Also, I just realized that neither of you followed the 14pt text saying to put your faction outside the spoiler. Shall I make the text larger?

Question: can I play grunt on the other side?

[Egan_BW]

Not sure what you mean, but since signups aren't open yet you can still choose whatever you like.

[Dustan Hache]

Not sure what you mean, but since signups aren't open yet you can still choose whatever you like.

Can I have my "Hero" on one side of the fight, and play disposable grunts on the other?

[Egan_BW]

Switching between missions is fine by me.

[MidnightJaguar]

I'm definitely interested, probably gonna play a combat medic of some kind if that archetype isn't already taken.

[BlackPaladin99]

It is not!  Psychotic anti mage is, however, taken
