God damnit Gem, I swear to god if there is one mistake on that sheet.

EVERYONE IS DONE AND CORRECT EXCEPT FOR YOU NOW BECAUSE YOU HAD TO DICK AROUND WITH YOUR CHARACTER AGAIN!

I WAS JUST ABOUT TO MAKE THE NEW ALL CHARSHEETS POST GIVING EVERYONE THE GO AHEAD!

AND IT WASN'T EVEN TO CHANGE YOUR PRIMARY WEAPON WHICH WOULD BE UNDERSTANDABLE!

OH YEAH WELL WE'LL SEE WHO'S MORE AWESOME WHEN I SAVE LIND'S PASTY ASS WITH MY HOMING HOLLOW-POINT AMMO.
IT'LL BE ME.

AND BESIDES, THAT'S ONLY LIKE THE THIRD TIME I'VE MADE CHANGES. AND THEY WEREN'T EVEN MAJOR THIS TIME, I'M JUST BUYING SOME AMMO WITH MY STARTING CREDITS. JUST LET IT GO, MAN.
LET IT GO.

You are now a VERY SLIGHTLY worse writer.

Ok, but I'm done now. I'll never edit the sheet again, ever.
Unless I really, really want to.

So, what've we got now?
We've got a pilot, sorta.
We've got an infiltrator.
We've got 3 combat specialists. (Two of which are snipers, but still, that's effective)
We've got 2 hackers.
We've got an engineer.
We've got a ~~prostitute~~ negotiator.
We've got an academic.
We have a demoman.
We've got... 2? psi users.

The only things I'm worried about is that
a) OC doesn't have many points in piloting, meaning that's a last-resort option, rather than something we can rely on
b) We don't have much in terms of indirect fire, nor do we have anyone who can provide automatic/suppressive fire
c) Scrounging might've been useful, but I think nobody got that, did they? Still we can do without it, probably

We should be allright, though.

HEY GEM DON'T DOUBLE POST!

Also, good news, I apparently over charged you one point of perception, and you had 1600 credits left when I said that, so by knocking you down to 600 credits and charging you properly for perception everything is fixed.

Woulda still taken your writing out of spite but it would have put you at 298 knowledge skills and we can't do that.

ALSO, OC, you were SLIGHTLY over, and had 399 points in active skills. I randomly chose an active skill, which was unarmed, because I was lazy and it was where I was looking and put one point into it. I then took the overage out of Interest: Old Earth Music, as it seemed to be a thing you just grabbed to expunge points. If that is ok, cool. If not, uh, I GUESS you can do stuff. Though I might cry if I have to edit it again.

EVERYONE ELSE IT IS GOOD.

Krylo · 05-27-2010, 08:28 AM

ALSO, we have, for characters:

Octopus scholar person thing I dunno: No idea.
Heavily Armored Gun/Sniper Person: Graffiti artist. Can't remember the backstory off the top of my head.
Whore: Daddy owned a hypercorp. She doesn't. Also apparently something to do with the juntas and some octomorph or something. Kind of a manipulative bitch.
Astroboy: Saves the day when evil robots attack in his underoos.
Super psychic hacker: Born on earth, parents died, got Watts MacLeod, fled hypercorp space to live on a scum barge. Good natured kid. Maybe doesn't take things as seriously as he should.
Swordsman pilot guy with lasers: DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A NAME MUCH LESS A PERSONALITY.
Some dick with a sniper rifle: Kidnapped by AGIs and forced to do their TERRIBLE BIDDING. Wants his body back. Kinda inhuman. Doesn't like sex.
And a ridiculous utility guy whom can make anything with a nanofabricator: No backstory yet.

Edit: Krogo has scrounging at 50ish, and piloting at 80 after morph bonus.

Allright, excellent. So we have a getaway driver.
And, I just realized, with Homing rounds, we can totally provide indirect fire as well. We have an excessive amount of hackers, but that's fine. I'm guessing we can use a lot of hackers.

So, all that I have to worry about are our lack of automatic fire, and, I just realized, our lack of anyone with gunnery. I mean, sure, I don't think it's likely that we'll come across a situation where we get artillery/missile launchers, but goddammit, can you imagine how awesome that'd be?
Other than that, I'm done bitching. For today.

Back to discussing our first mission, did we come up with any super-awesome idea? I liked the suggestion (was it Arha?) that we could start with something in the outer ring, and work our way in through the solar system.

Arhra · 05-27-2010, 08:57 AM

Getaway pilot?

That's... that's not how it works.

Since we're getting all the character sheets in one spot, why don't we get everyone's character summaries? You know, quick background and just an overview of what they're like and what they do.

Afraid I have to check a few details with PF before I can finalise the backstory I have in mind though.

Krylo · 05-27-2010, 09:01 AM

Tyrfing (Arhra) has Gunnery. Not a LOT of gunnery. Only 33 points.

But, still, gunnery.

And that is the last you will hear from me today because it is 9 am and I haven't slept.

EDIT GOD FINE ARHRA

EDIT 2 What I can remember of the backstories is now summarized in the collection posts as well.

A while back, during a rare Jovian diplomatic trip to Mars, there was a minor scandal involving Ellen in an octomorph and three high-ranking members of the Junta, earning her a permanent black mark with that faction. Oh well.

You know the rest of her background (control over Earth Gate).

Ellen is the face. Personally, I like to think that she can convince anyone to do anything, but I haven't checked the validity of that claim.

PhoenixFlame · 05-27-2010, 09:28 AM

Did anyone take seekers?

Oh well. Only the most versatile weapon type in the universe.

Okay, so if everyone's done, I'll take one last tally on "Where do you want to start", and then we can get started.
