This, is your truncheon. You will eat it, you will sleep on it...

Do I need any other kind of gear?

Well at a minimum, bullets would be pretty helpful :) For the Berettas you need 9mm ammo, the Glock takes 10mm, and the Skorpion uses .32 cal, all of which are DC 5 for a box of 50 rounds. (Since your starting wealth is higher than 5 you essentially get all these for free. They just aren't on your sheet yet.)

Beyond that there's nothing that you necessarily need, but if you want to carry all 4 guns at once you will need some way to hold them (holster, bag, gun case, shoebox, etc.) and extra magazines (DC 4) are helpful for reloading.

Then there's the random "I may never need it but it's practically free" stuff like duct tape, flashlight, Tic-Tacs and what have you.

Okay, I'll edit the character sheet now. His holsters are pretty visible, he doesn't hide his guns. How would he carry his ammo, though?

If he wants to go the military route he could get a fatigue jacket or photojournalist's vest (DC 7 and 9, respectively). Or if he's the grunge type he could just go for cargo pants (no cost). Or depending on how much ammo he has, he might just carry one extra mag, which could fit in any normal pocket. I'm not a real stickler about it, as long as it makes sense.

You also have a home base (likely an apartment or rent house, unless you pay to upgrade) so you don't have to worry about keeping all 200 rounds (or whatever the number is) at your person at one time.

Heh, didn't think about cargos, I'm going with that. Editing my first post.

What?

Hey, I'm not picky.

Hi, everyone, I'll be playing your...something or other...depending on what slots are around.

Hey Silvia, er, Sophie, er... Ril. There we go.

I'll come up with a name for this game...once I have a character nailed down. I'm awful with names.

Hi.

About time I introduced myself. Hi all, I came over here on Toby's recommendation. Toby, you know me as Captain Hawkins. Looking forward to the game.

Ah! Dashing as ever, I see.

May I introduce you to Ril, one of the players in one of my games. Ril, the Cursed One, Cursed One, Ril...

Heh, cursed one... it does seem to be that way. Ril, nice to meet you.

So what's the next stage, do I work up my character and then bring the results to this thread, or what?

You can do it however you want. Since Tobias already has his character finished it would probably be easiest if he tells you what gaps need filled (his skill list is probably in this thread somewhere already). Or if you've got the time and inclination you can create your character completely then tweak it later.

Also, we now have 3 full-time players. I think I've given up on our sniper, as I haven't heard from him in well over two weeks now. I have one other guy I'll invite, but don't wait for him; create your characters and if he wants to join we can find a spot for him.

Well I'll start working on the character a bit tonight, and should have it pretty much finished for Thursday, I expect.

I'm thinking a cross-class between Fast Hero and Charismatic Hero with a few levels in Negotiator. He's got Law Enforcement as a background, and will be proficient with personal firearms, as well as possible automatic weapons. That's all I've got so far.

For reference. I've got the intelligence to be the skill monkey, if I have to. ;)

Might be better if you take on the skill monkey role. I'm going to be concentrating on social skills predominantly, but I might have some points spare to pick up some of the ones that don't fit your character.

Works for me. Next level, I'll diversify out.

I'm on track to finish character creation tomorrow. I've got decent ranks in all the social skills, as well as some ranks in a few knowledges. Also a few languages (Spanish and Russian). Frank's feats should make him pretty handy with a firearm, too.

I'll post my sheet here when I'm done and then we can discuss any changes, suggestions, etc.

Ril, how's your character coming?

Ok people, let's plan on the big "reboot" sometime tomorrow. If you don't have your characters finished by then you can still play, but you will auto-fail any rolls, if any are made.

I will find a way to insert you into the current story (and sorry if it's cheasy!), so if you haven't already, read over the current game thread.

Ok, here's my finished character sheet (well almost). I just need to pick equipment, and I've got a little more background stuff to finish off (I've given Frank a family, unlike a lot of my previous characters).

Feedback, suggestions, tweaks - all welcome.

Looking forward to kicking things off soon.
