The Thrill of the Chase RP OOC (closed)

[Tezkat]

EDIT:

Actually, now that I think about it, exoskeleton upgrades would be a pretty silly thing for him to start with, even if he could afford them. He never does any heavy lifting, so he wouldn't have had a practical reason to buy it. Besides, it'd be a lot more fun to save it for later character development. Being the 98-pound weakling in a relatively testosterone-rich environment might drive him to blow all his earnings on pointlessly macho gear upgrades...

On the other hand, he does get shot at in his line of work. Lately, he gets shot at a lot. For now, I've stuck him in a level 2 suit, which I know is affordable with just starting cash. Not so sure about the next level up. The only PC with level 3 shielding so far paid for it in Hello Kitty stickers.

Hello Kitty FTW...

[Azlan]

I've known Hello Kitty to stop many things dead, so that might be fitting in some way.


On an unrelated note, I think I use larger caliber weaponry then you do here Pal.  It could be a tech difference thing.  What's the most common weapon caliber in use? 

[Paladin Sheppard]

Yeash! I don't read the thread for a couple of days and it explodes on me

TezKat: Good Sheet but I have a small niggle with the catchall thievery skill...Many cause it can contain any number of subskills.  PM me or contact me though one of my IMs if ya want to discuss this some more.



Azzy: Hello Kitty is the doom of all things and nothing can stop it    as for ammo commonality its a bit hard as it ranges from 4.6mm all the way up to 20mm....so I guess the average could be somewhere around the 10mm mark.

[ShadesFox]

In the grim future of hello kitty there is only war...

Though I can't help but wonder about the luck stat of 2 on Tez's sheet.  If I remember classic Fallout right, the way you played a jinxed character was with the trait jinxed, and a really high luck score to make sure everything explodes...

And between Azlan posting an armor guide in his RP and asking about weapons in this RP, I can't help but imagine some of us in LitS hopping dimensions... which would be hillarious... Aaron versus Kevin in mortal combat with mighty broad swords.

[Tezkat]

Ooooh, that sounds like a fun trait!


Anyways. I made the requested stat adjustments and changed the name of Jinx's Thievery skill to something that better encompasses what we discussed. Sorry, I couldn't resist the pun.

[Paladin Sheppard]

Right seeing as the Boog has posted I shall doo the same......In the morning


Tez ya in, I'll place you somewhere in my next post and you can intro from there!

[Paladin Sheppard]

Tezkat: You may want to review your post, Yes Jinx has a high agility and has EVA suit proficiency....But flipping while wearing  a 60kg suit while not in Zero-G is a bit much. Yes the suit holds itself up and does not slow the wearer down due to it being powered but just the act of jumping with that much mass and performing acrobatics is a bit much.

[Tezkat]

The suit weighs more than he does?

Sorry. That's sorta what I was asking over IM. Given the specs of having little armour with maximum mobility and your indication that people regularly wander around with it on even in the station, I got the impression that it was something like the new BSG flight suits. Ya know... lightly reinforced jumpsuit with pressure seals and optional armour for the marines.

So... it's really more like full power armour? Wasn't expecting that...

I'll fix it up when I get the chance.

EDIT: Post fixed.

Pal:

... You want Johnny to have to carry everyone, don't you? :-/

[Paladin Sheppard]

Yes Yes I do

[Sprocketsdance]

Umm.. ok.. so after a really long delay and an immense amount of patience for Pal ( btw) I've come up with something.

Yeah... and you might want to double check my math for the stats.. XD


Name: Tax Iahara
Age: 23
Species/race/Birth Planet: Human/Terran/Earth
Sex: Female
S:4
P:6
E:4
C:6
I:8
A:7
L :5
Trait: None

Appearance: At 160cm and 64kg she is 'curvy' in the sense that she is somewhat muscular and not exactly thin, but not exactly 'pudgy' either. Though she would consider herself to be so. She has bright red hair that reaches the bottom of her chin in the front, but slopes upwards to the bottom of her skull at the back of her head. Her skin is really pale but she has freckles on her face and arms.

Clothing: Her usual clothes consist of comfortable (somewhat baggy) cargo pants, t-shirt, boots, and a hooded sweatshirt. She does carry a change of scrubs in her bag along with various other medical trinkets she's picked up along her schooling; mainly first aide supplies (bio-foam and quickseal bandages and scanners), stethoscope, sphygmomometer, and a gait belt. Also carries a PDA with plug-ins.

History: Tax was always pretty shy, but challenges herself by doing things she thinks she is too scared to do. Slowly she's made it from always having her head lowered to looking people in the eye and not flinching if they begin to yell. She came from a poor family and grew up without a dad.. and somehow became quite the tomboy. Promising herself a life that was better she worked through nursing school and earned her degree. She mainly worked with trauma patients in her 1 year of degreed work history and made a few friends, strangely enough, along the way. One of those friends disappeared, Carla, and no one heard where she went until one day Tax received some intel that she was on Delphi Sation. So on a whim, Tax asked for a short vacation and headed out to the space station. For three days she searched for her friend but could not find any sign of her – and her funds were running out.

weapons: two tonfas which she carries in her bag.. basic self defense.

Trivia: She loves bacon, hugs, chocolate milk, and sneezes (like, if someone sneezes, she giggles). She hates heights

Skills: Major: Nursing (General)
         Major: Nursing (Trauma Specialist)
          Minor: Animal handling
          Minor: Expert driver training

Credits: 750

Wuff welcome aboard!

When I catch you online we need to talk about some equipment.

Now you can either see Celine and Theo down and offer to help them or I can do that in an intro post....

[Paladin Sheppard]

Righto folks who's still in? We seem to have gone very quiet all of a sudden.

[Lisky]

i'm still around

[Lisky]

sorry for the double post... but is there still interest here?  especially from the GM?

[Paladin Sheppard]

Indeed there is I was Just waiting for most of the participants to return from AC

[Sprocketsdance]

I'm sorry I haven't been swift in replies.. but don't wait on me as IRL has lifted up its ugly head.

[Paladin Sheppard]

Alrighty folks, in the interest of keeping this RP afloat I will be posting a new GM post in the next 12-18 hours. If you HAVEN'T responded to the last GM post or want to add more please do so before then.

[Sunblink]

I'm still in. I'm finally going to see if I can post more around the CMF now that my life is back on track. <3

[ShadesFox]

I'm still good for the game.  My IC character is just sort of stuck X3

[Lisky]

Hey, Shades... i'm attempting to fix that

[Paladin Sheppard]

So Basi, Lucien is totally unconcerned about the short, violent, no warning  fight that just occurred? 

[Lisky]

i'm pretty sure nova told them it was all clear... he'll deal with that, after he's gotten his gear X3

[Paladin Sheppard]

FYI: I plan on making a GM post at or slightly after 10:00am GMT+8 tomorrow (for me at least ) If anyone has any last minute posts feel free to add them.

[Paladin Sheppard]

Due to an apparent lack of interest I'm going to close TotC down

Thank you all very much for playing, it has been a fantastic run for my first RP as a GM
