I think this one speaks for itself... *smile*

OK I figured I would just open it up a little for discussion and such while I work on getting the game rolling. :)

Aww yeah!

What's the first topic?

Chargen, of course! :)

I moved your rolls over to Character Generation. :)

Looking forward to playing with you all again!

I'm finding this interesting reading... just to get me in the right mindset. :)

In reply to Supplicant 2 (msg #8):

Basically just being a wiseass really.......supplicant and applicant sound similar but since someone grabbed onto the supplicant one I stuck with it for ha-ha's. :)

Quite appropriate, I think. Are we all not praying to The Sword? Are we all not looking to Damocles for succor and favour?

I have thrown together a character concept and background; all based on real world facts and myth.
I invite you all to check out my character description.


Damocles; could you please log this character for me as 'Poco Tehuantl'.

It got rather quiet....lol. Still waiting to hear back from Supplicant 4 in which direction he is going with his character. Also interesting I haven't had any other nibbles about this game, but I can certainly give it a go with 4 once I have all in readiness.

Lets kick it off, Damocles.
I am ready.

In reply to Poco Tehuantl (msg #13):

LOL.....YOU may be ready but others are still finishing up and I have to flesh out at least a bit more background than what there is. It has been a hectic week and may be a hectic weekend for doing lots of prepwork......I also have to work on a cast of baddies. :p

I'll be unavailable from about 5 today until Sunday.  Jus FYI.

Stating everything (except *maybe* powers) now.

I think I'm ready too ...
but it ain't up to the players, is it?

Nice character description, Ozzy.   Short and sweet; says what is important without rambling (maybe I should take a leaf from your book  :-p  )

PT -- guessing 'Ozzy' is me?  Thanks.

However, don't take any pointers on being concise from me -- I'm a mega-rambler!  heh

Pretty psyched on my character.

Uh, so can we call you Liono?  :D

I think Panthra is more appropriate ... given that Poco is a jaguar/'black-panther'.

I always thought Liono was a bit of a weak dweeb, personally.  But IC, you guys feel free to give Poco whatever nickname you like.  I plan on playing him as a pretty easy going, jesterish type ... except when dealing with the scumbags.

Funny name 'Poco' for a giant slice-em up wildcat.

I think we'll likely call you whatever you like.

But you should shout "Ho!!!" when you need backup.

(my pref was Cheetarah, but for dif reasons.)

Tehuantl was the Mexican Jaguar God.  'Poco' is Mexican/Spanish for 'Little'.

Eddy, have inherited the spirit of Tehuantl is 'the little Jaguar God'.

I picked up one of those little "Remember When" booklets from Hallmark for 1963.  All kinds of fun facts.  Just thought it would be interesting and helpful. :)

My apologies to everyone for the extended silence. My DSL is all screwed up and I am trying to get it straightened out. I have not been able to work on anything over rpol.net because of that. I am posting this from my work computer. Hopefully things will be resolved soon so I can working on getting things rolling.

I do have to say I am kinda surprised only 4 people applied to play, but I can make it work. :)

Who needs more?
When you got the right four!
