Narinder Kapoor Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Narinder here, making it official, developing him as kind of a detective or FBI Agent character, maybe a little hot-headed, not sure there, but I have definitely settled on that concept (as long as that's okay w/the ST!).

Gabe OOC Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 Alright, fair enough. Narinder = Jas, right? Basic concept sounds fine. And Daphne = Dawn? I won't mind you two if so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heritage Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 is there still room for Tarik if he gets a sheet to you, Gabe, or all we all filled up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabe OOC Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 Well, Hellhound/Tarik, Carver/Daphne, Jas/Narinder, Heritage, Kami, Rubio, Mala/Shae, right? I can fit everyone in... Which brings me to this note that as a GM, it's been a very long time since I've seriously tried to run anything, thus, please be understanding of any mistakes or errors... and understand that when there are pauses - I will usually be taking time to prep and write prologues and/or episodes for you guys.

Rebecca Baines Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Perfectly fine, Jer. I'm actually not at all too welll today, but Wednesday I should be more active. I need sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubio OOC Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Sounds fine. Just happy to take part in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narinder Kapoor Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 You can count on my patience. STing is something I'm not naturally talented at, so I'm more than willing to be patient for someone else. I'll try to get Narinder written up fully in the next day or two. Or, actually - starting stats, normal character sheets, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarik The Turban Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Tarik Here! So far, I'm thinking that the Modern version of the character is going to come across as reminiscent of Dr. Orpheous from Venture Bros. Anyone have any objections to something like that?

Rebecca Baines Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 As long as he's not over the top. Remember... Subtle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z017 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Yeah, my main concern looking the character over is that he seems made for a high adventure, high pulp kind of game. This game, from every description I've gotten from Jeremy, is far more real people rediscovering the mystical/magical parts of the world - not starting there in what feels like a very four-color themed way. I intensely dislike Venture Brothers, so that will color any comparison to a character in the show, but the tone of that show and the tone of this game seem rather at odds with each other.

Heritage Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Speaking as a huge fan of the Venture Brothers, I also think that using Dr. Orpheus as your model may be too broad; if you could reel him back in a bit tone-wise, he could probably still work. You'll also probably need to adjust his background a bit. Lastly, I'm not sure how Jeremy feels about 'mystical artifacts' such as 'the Stone of Zanzibar' ("Doo-dee-doo-dee-doo!"), but he may be flexible.

Gabe OOC Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 The fact is that I'm rejecting this submission. If you have one far more appropriate, I'd love to see it, but this one simply doesn't fit at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarik The Turban Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Hmm... Okay, I really didn't have my heart set on Dr. O. So it's no skin off my back to dream up something else. Frankly, Shae, you're a fan of the show, so I'd just as soon throw that idea out if it made you feel better As long as he's not over the top. Remember... Subtle. Subtle, huh? Hmm... Okay, I've got something else I can run with. I'm thinking of something that's not quite a stage magician, but has a taste of theatricality. He's not quite a polititian, but is certainly willing to tell people what they want to hear. But here's the kicker. Are the words he's saying to you actually formed by his vocal chords projected from his mouth? Or is it all in your head? You know what you heard, but did the person standing next to you hear the same thing? What if this mysterious man is using his mind to manipulate everyone he meets to further his goals? The goals of the Aeon Society? And, Heritage, any 'Artifact' he ends up having isn't meant to be showy. It's not supposed to be some sort of Rod of Wonder, or even a diamond topped cane, or a shiny neckless. Instead, maybe it's a pocket watch, or the power is drawn from his cufflinks, or something. Really, It could be anything, I'm not picky on that subject. Thoughts? Opinions? Things I can work on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z017 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Quote....I think you've missed the point in the proposal. This isn't a setting where this: "Okay, I've got something else I can run with. I'm thinking of something that's not quite a stage magician, but has a taste of theatricality. He's not quite a polititian, but is certainly willing to tell people what they want to hear.

If you have, you should be a little more on this side of normal than that show. Right now you still seem to be in a much more Aberrant/Superhero World, more comic-book, mindset than Jer is going for. Try making a person with no powers whatsoever first. Just a normal, modern person. Then talk with Jer about how their Inspiration came about, as from what I've seen and heard, that's pretty much what the prologues will be about. Also, you might take a look, or ask the other players about, the characters that have already been approved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarik The Turban Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Actually, I love Warehouse 13. And yea, it seems I missed the point somewhere along the way. As you may or may not know, I'm almost never on the chat for this site. Something to do with the amount of time I already spend staring at a computer monitor and chat rooms being a slippery slope toward me losing what's left of my social life But I digress. I would love to give this suggestion a try. I'll admit I'm not exactly sure where to start. The character I'd come up with for that last Adventure! game took me about a week to make. That was months ago, back when I still had a pdf for this game. The hard drive that lived on has since been reformatted, so I no longer actually have a copy of the character creation rules. If someone is willing to help me out here, and tell me where to start with making a normal person with no powers, I'm game. This is a neat system that I've never played and I would love to give it a try. If not, and you're just looking for someone who's ready to play off the starting blocks, then you should probably start looking somewhere else. I'd love to play, and I've got some interesting ideas tucked away in my head for a character, but I'm gonna need some help on this one. Up to you guys.

z017 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I'm willing to help you out, but you'll probably need to jump into chat for a little bit for this to go quickly/smoothly. Dots on the sheet are pretty easy to figure out once you have a strong character concept. Think about the profession you want the character to currently have and the kind of childhood they had. If those two ideas are strong, the dots will pretty much fill themselves out. Then we can talk about the kind of powers and sparkly you want the character to gain during their inspiration. I'll try to be in chat most of today (it's 10 AM CST right now, I should be able to be around for most of the rest of the day). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quotemyname Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Yea, that's the idea. He might not be all that much to look at... Which is probably why he spends so much of his time in front of a computer. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca Baines Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 I wonder how Rebecca will take to the people here... I guess we'll see.
