[Blight!] Tominic Through the Pipes [OOC]

Yeah, this is one of the busy seasons for me at my current job, so I can sympathize.


No worries Ebon, you aren't too behind anybody else. Looking back over your sheet, I had a momentary disconnect between your character art and the Subcutaneous Armor over the overt, but all those bits could easily be other charms.
 
Not to nitpick, but I noticed Ebon purchased his MA Charms using the Charm background, when MA Charms cost 12 xp each or something like that as opposed to 6xp for standard Alchemical Charms that need a Slot to go with. While I admire the efficient use of background points (and I do) to squeeze the most out of your starting chargen, is this valid? Admittedly the Charm background doesn't say you CANT do this :)


EDIT: How did you make dots appear instead of numbers? whats the BB code?
 
yeah, I needed to go over that. Good catch. MA charms aren't covered under the Charms pseudo background. Sorry.


But you do get an extra 3bp for background and picture.


Also, it is just a character in the text, no code. You can copy paste it, or remember its numeric value, which I can never seem to do.


edit: Looked it up- • = 0149 on the numpad. So just hold alt, press 0149, then release. •


double edit: no his appear to be larger. I will investigate further.... or just wait for him to say something.


jesus christ too many edits: found â— using the character map. It does not have a keystroke attributed to it, that I can tell.
 
Yeah, I'm double-posting after an edit-fest. Wanna fight about it?


So, I was doing some brainstorming on how to start and the current climate.


MrS, I'm seeing your Sovan team as being a favored group of refugees, preferred integration, possibly even being moved into a permanent housing. Does that work with your vision? Or would you rather them, and possibly by extension yourself, somewhat be held at arms length? If embraced, what kind of work would you see them doing? Would they be manning the factories and or quarries? Would they be joining the Conductors on their trips out of the city for resources? Something else I haven't enumerated? Also, how long ago would you say you arrived in Bastion, if the given time is a few months away from the anniversary of the Great Void Quake?


Xarvh, were the events described in your drama fairly recent, or is it a wound you have been licking for awhile? Given the timeline just mentioned. Also, I assume that Bastion is his home metropolis given his fervent devotion?


Ebon, is Mercurial Blade of Justice a native to Bastion or a recent transfer from elsewhere in Claslat? If he is a native, what is his relationship with Chrome-Forged Star and the events described in his backstory? The relationship isn't necessarily a direct question, more food for thought.

Can't you just buy the MA charms within your starting 8 charms and buy the OTHERS with charms BG? oO

Bastion is his home metropolis, but whatever *tropolis fits best with your plans would actually go.


I'd rather have the wounds fresh, let's say one year tops.
 
Your 8 alotted charmslots from chargen must be filled according to the character creation summary. I'm in bed on my phone, so I'll double check in the morning if there are some shenannigans that can happen.


The drama events can be as recent as you like, last week, at least some time post void quake. About a month or so seems like a sweerspot, do you agree? Also, I like that he's native.


Sorry if my questions are getting old, I try and use this as a truncated prelude. Since those can be a little unweildy sometimes, I prefer to talk it out.

Two months seems perfect. ^^

I would say that Custodian of Unity only recently made it from the Deep Reaches to the haven of Bastion after suffering through the Great Void Quake. As such he and his Sovan team are still refugees in the outskirts/lower part of the city and have been, after some internal debate at Bastion, assigned to the Conductors temporarily on resources gathering and exploration as it is the closest fit to their previous positions' on Sovan mining barges.


Would you say the personal connection he has formed with the small band of refugees might be somewhat concerning to Bastion society (It is stated in the MoEP that it's considered unusual for Alchemicals to posess Command or Followers? And he has dots in both.)


Can you please review and OK my Artifact 4 armor, which is a souped up Yaori Rapid Response Armor from Wonders of the Lost Age. You can find it in my character thread in the Artifact post. I increased the soak by +4L/+4B, Hardness by +2L/+2B, +1 Fatigue and a boost to the muscle fibres.
 
This is Custodian of Unity wearing his artifact armor, sans the wrist mounted cannons (optional upgrades! :D ) and the wings on his back.

Away from my books on my phone, on my lunch break.


If I recall correctly, if you use the charm background to purchase enough charms to fill your slots, then you could use the eight charms to get your MA on.


MrS, sorry, I forgot about your armor. I'll check the guidelines in Oadenal's when I get home and get back to you.
 
MrS, Armor is GO!


I've sadly had no appreciable time around a computer/internet since Wednesday, which was a minor setback. Should be getting a first post up in the next couple days.


I just double checked the wording on Charms, and as long as you buy some charms to fill your 8 slots with Alchie charms at chargen, you can use your 8 for MA. Which seems like the optimal option for an MA user because you essentially get 8 MA charms at a discounted cost. It might be a bit of chicanery, but I'll allow it.
 
I'm posting to express my apologies to our ST and the group. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I'll have to be away from home for at least 2 weeks and during this period my internet access and general availability will be sporadic at best. In addition to that, my father has recently lost his job and things are somewhat strange and need serious reworking among the family. Combined with my continuing obligation to write my thesis for my post graduate degree in university, all those issues leave me with no choice but to withdraw from the game, before it begins, to avoid causing any kind of problem or delay after its start. I am sorry that I cannot participate as I'd like, but I can see that due to the circumstances I'll be more of a burden to the group and the game's wellbeing. I'm sure that you'll do just fine and help Autochthonia prevail against the multitude of challenges and dangers that threaten its people and stability.


Thank you in advance for your understanding.
 
No worries. Good luck to you and yours. When things even out, I will still be running this game come hell or high water, or some iteration of such, just hit me up then.


Well, I've been nutty too, and everyone's characters are almost complete, so expect a first post Friday if not sooner.
 
OR I can spend all day dealing with automotive issues. This weekend still looks promising even though I work, no major social obligations.


Stay tuned true believers.

Thank you very much for your sympathy and understanding. As soon as things lighten up a bit here, I'll let you know. :D
 
I was gonna show you all what's what with a first post, but my electricity is out, and has been since this afternoon. I'm on my phone currently.


Sorry that RL has been keeping me from getting the ball rolling, but I have tomorrow off, so as long as the power comes back up we'll get goin.
 
Don't worry, we aren't going anywhere. ^_^


But I'm waiting for a flood in your area or a locust swarm or something... :mrgreen:
 
I have been talking to Happery in PMs about character development, but it has been a week or so since they said anything.


In other news, post is up. I've laid out a couple places in Bastion where things are, or are about to be, going on. If you are interested in something else, please let me know.
 
I take it that the last line means you're heading to the Tripartite Meeting? Not trying to be simple, just trying to pick up what you're putting down, as they say.


edit: To be clear, you don't have to go somewhere I've laid out. You can go anywhere. You can stay in your apartment. I can work with whatever.
 
Yes yes, CFS is heading at the Tripartite, even if just to be seen.


He sees that as a duty.
