Class: Euclidean Specialist (eh, close enough)
Strength= +2
Toughness= -4
Fine Coordination= -1
Gross Agility= +2
Endurance= -2
Intellect= +2
Willpower= +4
Charisma= -4

Mining +2 (a certain tone makes the rock weaken and crumble)
Engineer +5 (within its eerie glow one might spot geometric shapes of all kinds...)
Striker +2
Grapple +1

(Lets see if I can make it all clear.)
Abilities and Intrinsics:
A coalescence of glowing lines almost standing on the floor, the apperance of which is often up to opinion.
 Incorporeal - May interact with physical world on an instantaneous/momentary basis, but may not interact inside solid objects...yet.
 From Somewhere Else - Magical interactions dealt with as physical interactions, and normally physical requirements dealt with as magical requirements. Above momentary physical interaction capability viewed as spells.
 Body and Soul - Can only exist within range of the linking sound emitted by its octahedron. If sound link is blocked, (completely) phases out and takes ~falling damage equivalent to the distance to the nearest linked square, then phases back in from octahedron. Not feasible to do on purpose.
 Waves - Can vibrate things; mostly low-interference fillings such as air.
   Reverberating Shreik - A piercing, resonating noise ability; can shatter fragile objects, everyone in range must roll concentration (including self), and can shatter metal and bones on sufficient critical roll. Carries effective force 12 squares strait-distance through air, 1/2 this through water, 1/4 this through solid rock.
   (Senses - Instead of classifying them into "sight, hearing, feeling, smelling, tasting" it would list off "amplitude/frequency, distance, ~taste/shock, temper, and spin".)

An [acronym=A pattern like marble or clouds covers its blue and green surface.]oddly[/acronym] metallic octahedron rotates slowly in the air. It is surrounded by a cyclic buzzing sound.
 Link - The sound emmited by this object to connect it to the rest of its self; it carries 16 squares strait-line through open air but 1/2 through water, and 1/4 through solid rock.
 Symmetry - Its normal speed is equivalent to a sedate walk and normal healing rate even slower than the gargoyle, but in areas containing symmetry, exact angles, or smooth surfaces both rates increase at an exponenial rate. When a hall is smoothed out, with right angles, and at first glance strait, the gain is only 1kmh and an extra health point every three or four days, but when every single atom is arranged perfectly in repeating geometric patterns matching the octahedron, it is capable of moving just slow enough to glimpse and healing visibly in seconds. At the realistic point before such extreme (where all is perfect to the naked eye), it can move at a sprint and heal 1hp/day faster than a human. This property also defines the ideal place for it to sleep, with greater importance on "matching the octahedron".
 Soul and Body - If damaged, the eldritchian is knocked unconscious, possibly along with other behavioral effects, and the octahedron is frozen in space relative to the nearest 26 tonnes of matter. If destroyed, death is instantaneous, and the eldritchian leaves a ~corpse of heavily mana-charged vapours. (Resurrection [i]might[/i] be possible if the hedron was destroyed by shattering, since the pieces could be collected, carefully reassembled, then the last piece added within a cloud of correctly empowered vapour.)[/spoiler]

Hastur, should said penalties be left in to balance out all the other strangness or can they be taken it down to -9 or -8? ... Regardless, I think I'm going to move two points from Charisma to intelligence, just for the sake of getting the maximum negative charisma I thought I had.

[Hastur]

You wont fit on my notecard! *shakes fist* at least you dont have an inventory. 

Edit: ok everyone who wants in post a character sheet right here and im going to dump everbody in at once.

Nivm you mentioned somethign about stats. They are actually on a scale that is 10=human average, the +/-'s to the stats are relative to a human, they could go all the way to 0's for say, a brain in a jar. who would have only some of the mental stats. i dont know if that helps because i forgot what you said.

PS: slimed? huh? theres only one person i remember sliming. Sly got puked on once...

(How?) My character's stats penalties and bonuses add up to -1 ([10 points distributed]-[11 in racial stat penalties); eariler you had commended this with "[...]SO im glad you didnt overbuff your attributes", but it seems kinda steep, relative to the normal net 10, or 7 for Micelus. I wanted to get your estimate as to how much net-penalty is needed to balance out the net-gain of my strange ability set, and possibly add a few points accordingly.
 Also, I expected you'd grab the "third post" I'd typed up since it saves you work updating, but now I'm wondering what I did wrong...Update it again for everyone who is getting in right now?

PS: slimed? huh? theres only one person i remember sliming. Sly got puked on once...

Yep, then got bedrest and came down with some affliction. I guess the affliction is to explain why he hasn't made any actions, but in-universe it seems likely we'll discover a mass of acidic green slime oozing from Sly's bed fairly soon.

[Nivim]

I apologize for the double-post, but what am I doing that kills so many games? The same thing that Armok does?

[micelus]

Doubt its your fault; this game's been alive and dead on and off.

[IronyOwl]

Yeah. Hopefully it'll thaw out and start shambling along again sometime.

[adwarf]

If not we can always hunt down Hastur, and stab him with a rusty spear.

[Hastur]

Hey so remember last time i didnt post? well related to that time i now have inherited a business.but I have a loose grip on it now and i have spare time to GM again. mostly on saturdays. Anybody wanna play still? i'll go with like 3 people.

anybody still around?

[Firelordsky]

I'm still around. And I'm pretty sure the other guys wanted to continue with this. I can go PM the other guys to see if they want to play again.

[adwarf]

I am in

[Hastur]

nifty. Forgive any errors i make while i get back into the groove of things. I am just going to automate anybody who does not show up. Dont PM anybody till i get a post up to date-ing everything. i dont want the first turn back to be a hurdle for me.

[Riversand]

Welcome back Hastur! glad to see you around again.
