I just worry I am going to be able to bring magical support or if I am just going to keep falling flat on my face like I have two times before.

[kv]

Don't worry about 'falling on your face.' This is a game, and the main goal here is to have fun- I don't have any special attachment to Kinsey, so if you want to try something new go for it.

Start a new thread for this new character, (and pick a new name, so we don't have to distinguish between Kinsey III and Kinsey IV) and we'll get going.

Kinsey 3 should be good to go but as I said if I crash and burn another Kinsey I am just going to admit defeat with straight up magic character.  Not planning on sabotaging myself or anything like that.  I will probably go back to a straight up technically aware and capable character since I am able to wrap my head around this.

Okay I lied I got an adept built up and ready to go if this one goes splat.  He actually a decent build if I do say so myself with a focus on his job being an on the move courier.  He can hold his own in a combat situation but isn't like super focused.  Since everybody really good at shooting and making things go boom I figured somebody who could play bait and defend himself as needed might be good.  I am going to go ahead and post him up for critique and laughter to ensue. 

[kv]

Actually, he looks like a pretty solid build to me, although I had to figure out where you got some of the adept powers (it's cool, I would prefer source in the future for anything that's outside the SR4A). A lot of movement, good skills, pretty decent with a machine pistol. Can you maybe give your characters a first name or a last name, though? I keep picturing one-name celebrities, and that's not helping anyone.

John Kinsey and Steve Hastiget, if you will. They don't have to be those names exactly, but it helps me when it comes to characterizing a new concept.

In other news, still waiting on Ruski and Ingo to post.

Hastighet is swedish for speed and it just an alias.  As for a character name it is Joe Turner is the one I have on his SIN.  I will go ahead and write more background. I also went ahead and marked some things with indications of sources.

[kv]

...but your character has a real name too, right? I'd like it if he did, so I had something to call him, rather than Hastighet- which I am having a very hard time not hearing in a Swedish accent now.

And by Swedish accent, I mean the Swedish Chef. Just FYI.

He answers to Joe, Turner, and Turn and his real name is Johnathan Wright but he actually doesn't know that.  He was always just boy to the hotel manager.  As far as he knows he was left like luggage in a hotel room.  He doesn't know that the hotel manager sold out his parents when they extracted themselves from Aztechnology and were returned to the corp as traitor. 

I will be honest this character interests me more than Kinsey does so if you want me to last minute run with new instructions to someone I can do that.  Sorry KV I just feel so cramped by trying to fill the magic niche.

[kv]

Okay, so we have a backup character for Bull, and I heard from Bulletsponge that he was working on his troll gun nut, so I'll put up individual threads for them as well. I know Ruski is super-busy with work and family stuff, and Ingo mentioned he was slammed as well, so I think we'll proceed with the individual threads at a nice leisurely pace, until everyone is ready to get back up on the horse again.

HORSE? Wait I didn't take any points into riding?  I don't think anybody did.  OH GOD I THINK WE ARE ALL SCREWED!!!

[kv]

That's why I recommend one point in the Athletics skill group.

Okay, sorry about not putting up the other two solo threads; things have been busy here, but no baby yet, so I'm good to continue.

My wife is due in five days, by the way. Fun times.

Anywya, I owe Bull and Bulletsponge solo threads, I've been working on them in my head but I've had surprisingly little time to get on the computer (which is weird, because I have access to a bunch of computers).

  I'll try and get on tonight to put something up, and hopefully keep things moving. I know everyone is busy, I'm just trying to make sure there's something to respond to here when you do eventually have the time to check the board.

Hmmm based on KV's silence I wonder if there is a new wonder of the world in his life.... or mad rush to put the crib and other essentials together before the big day?

[kv]

Sadly, that is not the case. No baby yet, but I let my other forum (mythweavers) know that I was expecting and probably would be on a baby-related hiatus here in the very near future, and everyone was cool with it, so I was able to sit back and just relax.

It's been a lot of fun. I've watched tv with my wife, read, played video game, and all of that stuff that I would normally skip out on because I had forum games that needed attention. Since these were pretty slow, they also got lumped in, although I plan on continuing with this forum even as I take a hiatus from the other one.

For those who haven't yet heard KV's little one has now been loosed upon an unsuspecting populace. If you have any innocent young males or people with gooey hearts that you don't want to become willing slaves to her mighty powers keep them out of Arizona.  Well, MAYBE that will help, anyways..... You've been warned.

Baby Violence (working Alias) has indeed been unleashed, and I'll be turning my work volume up to 11 to deal with the fact that Mom is staying home with the new daughter. It might mean that I have more time to deal with stuff (I've been trying to get up with Mom to provide an extra set of hands overnight), but it will probably mean significantly less.

I'd like to propose that the main combat thread go writing-exercise-style, where everyone can post and update the story, moving things ahead. Feel free to blow things up, kill characters, and interact with great dragons. Only rule is this: what is written is gospel-- you can't alter the past (although you can subvert it by saying that someone who was reported to have died merely faked their own death). Since several of us have the ability to edit all posts, we'll just go by the honor system, but I'm looking forward to see what comes of this.

I have time today, I may even start us off.
