Your plan sounds fine to me.

In reply to Kalista (msg # 22):

Hope people have gone and looked at my character description in the Cast. :-)

The dragon could curl up around the crane on top while we walk around in the Behemoth.

That would be fine by me.

A nice perch.

Bad cat! I mean dragon. Damn it man. I mean lizard! Arrgggghhhhh!

What kind of dragon is the great and scaly Polkitain?

I think this pic is similar enough without being identical, shows the differences in our paths through life.

Polkitain is a Forrest Runner Dragon. I discussed his size with a couple of Palladium Fantasy players, and we estimate he could be as long as fifteen feet (4.5 meters) including a five foot long tail. Being less than six months old since his hatching, he is likely smaller, perhaps half that size.

Mostly done, just need to choose gear.

I was able to add a bit of history to Polkitains parents.

Yes he is a forest runner I think the smallest breed but they run like juicers.

In reply to Polkitain (msg # 30):

We have a Juicer Dragon guys keep an eye on him. If he falls over we administer the dragon shock prods as a defibulator.

*Runs and hides behind the behemoth*

Sits on top of the Behemoth looking through the windows at the prerifts Godzilla movie and cheers the big guy on.

Where is everyone ?

here. weekends are hectic at times with the kiddos. But I think my sheet is all done.

Im here! I'm just not part of the Elven and Dragon crew. ^_^

you can be our human sidekick :D

I was thinking Ethan will be the group's Bosley

Everybody
It seems that everyone (or enough of everyone) is far enough along in character creation that we can start. Does anyone have any last minute questions for me?

I usually begin these games with one of my favorite scenes. The purpose of the this scene is to draw the party together, but that doesn't seem necessary this time around. You guys have already done that with your backgrounds. Hey, that's less work for me.

For the Elves
I have a quick question for the players of the three elven characters. Were your characters born on Rifts Earth, immigrated there from Palladium Fantasy, or do you hail from somewhere else?

Well guys what do you think?

I have been debating, but without talking to you guys I won't make that call myself. However my opinion. Since we all have uniquely RIFTs OCCs as opposed to anything from PFRPG. If we came over maybe at a young age say the equal of around 10. Say the kingdom we all lived in was attacked and we ran into the woods with someone we all knew.

I think it would be great if the Elves were all Rifts Earth natives. My character isn't yet he is human. The juxtaposition is to good to resist. ^_^

I think all my questions have been answered. I am looking forward to the game start.

To be clear, the three elves and the dragon are starting together?

The Sea Titan, Operator and Medic are starting together?

Do I understand that correctly?

Sir Arulas, I'm ok with that... Nyx?

Works for me, close enough to native and clearly from a very tiny community of elves (and therefore likely grew up as part of a larger non-elf community)

In reply to Ethan (msg # 42):

Yes, but it was also suggested at one point that the two cyber-knights are connected also. Everybody is a friend of a friend.

Unless one is the Shining One it is very unlikely that they don't at least know of the other.
