BlueNinja Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Ok folks - there's at least three of you out there who want to see the very start of the continuum. You can get my Adventure! Excel character sheet right here, work it just like my Aberrant one - basic stats and bonus points in black, Inspiration in blue. You may spend a total of 15 experience points, which you should mark in red. You may use any of the Merits and Flaws that I posted in my very recent thread.I just noticed that I have on there Concept instead of Origen; please make sure you count the free background dot you receive for your Origen as per the A! rules. Please include a fairly comprehensive background on your characters, why they have the backgrounds/abilities that they do, how they gained Inspiration, etc. The more details you give me, the better I can focus the adventures you're going to have. Now, I will allow characters who became Inspired as a direct result of being present at the Hammersmith Event, but that requires one of the following: 1) Influence of at least 3 dots, 2) Engineering or Science Mastery, 3) Allies or Mentor of at least four dots.All of you must put at least one background dot into Backing (Aeon Society), but you are not allowed to spend more than four dots this way. Whoever puts the most into this particular Backing will be the PC 'in charge' of the group. Purchasing an Ability Mastery will let you re-roll 10s on the Ability dice for a roll (much in the same way Qualities do for Attributes), on top of giving you that extra 6th dot.Please, please, please discuss your characters amongst yourselves. I'd prefer to have little to no overlap in primary abilities for characters. (IE, I don't want a whole party of Engineering Masters, or Brawl/Martial Arts masters, etc. One person with Mastery, and other people with lower levels of the same skill is fine.)Take it away folks; you'll know when it's time to show up in the IC thread.

phoenix Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Okay! This will be my first Adventure! game and I have yet to even procure the book, but I have a good general idea of what I would like to play.I am writing a prologue at the moment that I will either submit to the fiction section or post in the forums in due time, and that will explain nearly all of my character's background. As far as position goes, I would like her to be either a police detective or ex-detective (depending on what Aeon society membership will demand of her and which is better for her background).High skill levels: Investigation, Awareness, Intrusion, Interrogation, cop stuffModerate skill levels: Firearms, Martial Arts, ShadowingNovice skill levels: Command, Streetwise, DisguiseI am 95% sure I want her to be a Daredevil, and I am not entirely sure how to work the whole powers section of Inspiration. But I will figure it out! Chances are it will mostly be expanding and enhancing the "cop" aspect of her, since that's related to the circumstances that made her do the Inspired equivalent of "erupt". Again, if I'm totally misconstruing what it means to be Inspired, this will be remedied as soon as my bank and PayPal work out their differences and I can order the E-Book. ::happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezekiel Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Okay, I'm thinking of playing the character I didn't have a chance to really play in Madcat's short lived game, Lethal Experiments. The idea was to play Arsène Lupin II...what's cool is that it still fits:Jean (Arsène 2nd) Lupin (1899 - present) is the son of Raoul (Arsène 1st) Lupin (1874 - present). Kidnapped as a toddler by Joséphine Balsamo, she had him trained and eventually tried to use him against his father. After learning the truth about his heritage (early twenties, moment of inspiration) he trained under his father and after a few successful capers unders his father’s tutelage, took up the name “Arsène” Lupin and carried on the legend of the “Gentleman-Robber”. The notoriety of Lupin is known throughout Europe and he never steals something without warning his victim first, thoroughly embarrassing the invariably rich and often of noble descent victim in the process.Here's a website on the actual Lupin literary character: http://www.coolfrenchcomics.com/arsenelupintimeline.htm I don't have the character sheet anymore but I'm sure I can scrounge something up on a fairly short notice...whaddaya think?P.S.

SkyLion Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Hello Inspired comrades! On into a bright new age for humanity! ::idea ::coolSince this is my first Adventure game as well I would like to play what has been my longstanding first choice. Mechanically it started as an exercise to see how I could make the most potent telekinetic mesmerist one could as a starting character. Ideally this might actually be true in the game world since so far (and this is at the begining!) the people with 6+ inspiration are few (primoris mercer et al.)The idea then evolved into a faustian world traveling stage magician, who famously made Houdini eat humble pie and has a notorious (and well hyped) reputaion for dark magics and summoning demons. This comes in part from showmanship, sfx and pyrotechnics but also because his constant companion is a gigantic inspired (uniquley recessive) black tiger. (There have been rumors of black tigers and lions in the real world but so far as we know its a genetic trait found only in jaguars and leopards. ) Despite this diabolical stage persona hes actually quite a well mannered chap, though he also has a penchant for "moonlighting" given his abilities. Of course his stage show is just a lucrative ruse and while the show is spectacular and he does make it inspired he does so subtly such that his true power is understated and underestimated until he really needs it. His father is a prominent memebr of the East Indian trading company, married a local woman(a dancer, a creative influence on his up bringing) and settled in a plantation. Details and char sheet to forthcoming...To the team...Is this concept cool with y'all or was anyone else itching for a more physically oriented mesmerist?

SkyLion Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 My idea has some dark overtones emerging as well Phoenix.

Mm, alright...my word of caution is that the "Dark Knight" vigilante character rarely works well in games unless the players have a really compelling reason to work together. It tends to create separate games instead (one for the loner character, one for the rest). You've got to ask yourself, would this character fit in "The Mummy" or "Sky Captain"?That's why being a good chap was appealing...The hero in the mummy wouldn't be the same if he was an angst ridden character searching for vengeance...Anyway, on a different note, I just gave my conference at the BestWestern on music file-sharing so I'm officially done now!

Think more like a less anti social (and all around less %^&*% in the head) shadow and you get the picture. He wont be in "performance mode" all the time. To the other PC's he will be more or less himself and a fully supporting member of the Aeon society. In other words hes not (once the game starts) on a personal vendetta, nor is he the lone gunman. However he does have cipher and separate influence and reputation so in game I want him to be shrouded in mystery, with a bit of an exotic edge...nothing disruptive, just to give the other PC's (and NPCs) that sense of menace lurking beneath the surface.

BlueNinja Posted April 29, 2006 Author Share Posted April 29, 2006 Another rule thing that most of you will want to keep in mind:The rules are obviously written with tabletop, not forum, games in mind. So your Facets each give you a bonus that can be used once per session. That doesn't exactly work online, so instead, for each story, I will give each player a set amount of uses (ie, 3, 5, whatever) for each Facet. This means that at any point during the story, you can use those bonus dice/damage from your facet, as long as you don't go over that amount. No, they do not 'roll over' into the next story. ::tongue Skylion, I'll try to get to your sheet tomorrow after Rifts; I got up at 7am, went to Aberrant, came back for ten minutes, went and saw 16 Blocks, went bowling (three game, raised my average), and just got home at 11pm. I'm beat. And since I have to be up at 7am tomorrow ... well, sorry for the delay at looking everything over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyLion Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 Umm...wait...do you mean you get [x] number of free uses instead of paying inspiration? On a related note do you plan on keeping the rule that says when you use Inspiration heroically (or dramaticly or fun) that instead of losing 1 point you gain 1? I like this because it reminds me (almost exactly in some ways) of Force Points in Star Wars (original, not D20) and it keeps the juice flowing by keeping the story flowing...

Since we aren't having 'sessions', you'd get to use that Destructive add a fixed number of times per storyline. The Intuitive and Reflective bonus dice, you'd pay Inspiration for as normal, and use them as often as you have the points to spend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, it's true, I'm REALLY done! For a week... I'll get on the character sheet ASAP but you have the background already. What's certain is that Lupin is a 'Master of Dissimulation' and of legerdemain; he'll bluff his way towards his objectives and leave his calling card to let his targets know he's coming. He's also very forgettable...Lupin once claimed after meeting Sherlock Holmes that Holmes would recognize him were they to meet again, the implication is that most people wouldn't (and explains how he can just waltz in and claim he's a detective on the case). Which means that either Lupin will introduce himself many times to the characters until they finally manage to recognize him or they'll need to have a good history together..or your characters have excellent Intelligence + Awareness...(Or even play Holmes himself? Holmes or Watson's son/daughter like I am playing Lupin's son? That'd be funny! Foes joining together for a greater cause and all that...)Anyway, working on it...

I got around to reading the page on Lupin and I found it very interesting! A couple of thoughts come to mind. From the era its actaully more victorian mystery/adventure but it fits well with pulp. That you would be playing his son in the next era is cool. Which brings up my next question (also for BN)...Are we playing in the "real world" where sherlock holmes is a fictional character written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle? (Who has ties to Harry Houdinin, one of my characters rivals.) or more like in LXG wher the fiction is reality?The other thing we should iron out Zeke is the mastery of legerdemain. Being the master magician and escape artist I took ability mastery for it. Were you planning on the same? I know this was something BN wanted us to work out. If you wanted to have that also, it could still work as my character is more of a vigilante/mystery man than a gentleman thief. Li-long Shen also has the high intelligence + awareness you mentioned so we could work out that he would somehow recognize your guy or they have some connection (?) but Li-long also has cipher and is meant to be mysterious and exotic, having only recently stepped onto the world-stage from out of nowhere...Let me know what you think. ::happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no Sherlock Holmes ... but Sir Arthur Conan Doyles' books were based on a real life figure. There was no Captain Nemo, but there was a rich Indian man with a submarine. There are probably dozens of Jonathan Harkers, but obviously none of them ever encountered Dracula, because vampires aren't real ... right? ::unsure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
