Oiktirmon, an Empathic Osteon who Rejuvenates the Infirm, at your service.  :)

I am playing catch up, but I hope to have my character sheet completed quickly.

Looking forward to playing with you all, and to healing you after you have been chewed on by dinosaurs for awhile...  ;)

I’m still working on background and sescription, but should we start talking connections?  I will just list mine... don’t really have one that I would prefer over the others so if anyone wants in let me know.  Maybe not the first because his adaptations are pretty obvious.

1. Pick one other PC. You saved them from a bad situation, but in doing so, you exposed your adaptations, and you think you might have freaked them out.
2. Pick one other PC. You knew each other before you began altering yourself, but you're not sure how they feel about what you've done.
3. Pick one other PC. That person has asked you a lot of questions about your abilities. Are they nefarious or just curious? You're not sure yet.
4. Pick one other PC. You recently discovered a secret about them. You're not sure if they know that you know.

So here are my connections. We'll has things out. Jesikah is a Graceful Pteryx who Roars at the Sun. This is similar to Howls at the Moon, only takes place during the bright, hot Mesozoic daytime, and she turns into a dinosaur.

The story is that Jesikah, who is an explorer and field scientist par excellence (a paleontologist by our standards, or rather, someone who studies both the living dinosaurs and other prehistoric beasts and the extinct ones). The mysteries and secrets of the Cretaceous world are, after all, endlessly fascinating, and this entire world is one worth exploring. Unfortunately, she was caught in a time terror, the massive temporal warp-storms that sometimes rage across Grevakc. The storm shifted her temporal position with that of some ancient raptor-like creature, and indeed bound them together.

Now at certain times, that temporal energy will surge about her and "transform" her into this creature. However, it seems to be more than just that. Each of them, Jes and the creature, can affect the other, and she can learn to control it, both its mind and the times she switches. Perhaps it was something far stranger, like being regressed back to a very, very ancient past life, or some might even come up with a more animistic and spiritual explanation for it. Either way, this is both her burden and a power now, the power to run free and live as part of Grevakc at times in ways no human could fully understand.

1) Pick one other PC. That character is able to soothe you when you're in beast form. You'll never attack her while transformed, and she can spend 3 consecutive turns to calm you down, allowing you to revert back to normal form without making a roll. - Rain

2) Pick one other PC. You believe that he intends to convince you (or capture you) to join the circus or some other entertainment venue. The other player chooses whether or not this is true.

3) Pick 2 other PCs. They know it's beneficial for you to kill and eat a creature while you're in beast form, and they often work together to make sure that happens. - Loric

4) Pick one other PC. Since she saw you in beast form, she has clearly been terrified of you. You are determined to show her that you're not as dangerous as she thinks.

Aright, let me toss mine in there:

1 Pick one other PC. You are fairly certain this character doesn't believe that your abilities are real.
2 Pick one other PC. You see a gathering of energy and colors on this character that seem to imply that she, too, can see beyond. Whether you ask her about it is up to you.
3 Pick one other PC. Whever this character is near, your abilities seem to take longer and become more difficult
4 Pick one other PC. Wherever this character goes, you are aware of the general distance and direction of his location.

This looks like a decent match, if you are game...  :)

I will toss my connections out there as well:

1. Pick one other PC.  You failed to heal that character once, and she nearly lost her life.
2. Pick one other PC.  When you rebuild that character's tissue, he gains 1 additional point.
3. Pick two other PCs.  To fully regenerate one, you had to use your autodoc to remove an extra organ from the other.
4. Pick one other PC.  Your attempt to heal that character's deathly ill relative ended in the patient's sudden demise.

I suspect that door #2 would be most popular...  :)

Actually, this could also be a decent match.  Oiktirmon uses his powers to figure out where he will be needed most, and uses his companion to get there quickly.  Perhaps one or both of those, or his empathic senses, make him more noticeable to your senses?

Oiktirmon...  how do you feel about cybernetic and nanotechnic augmentation?

Yeah, I rather like that. My character is going to be pretty young, and may end up calling Oiktirmon 'Grandpa' from time to time, if that works for ya. :D

Hmmm!  He is actually OK with that, but you would not necessarily know that.  That could be a decent match.   :)

That works for me.   :)

Hi there will try to post later have a crisis here at the moment....turns out the builder who did my extension 4 years ago didn't know what thermal pipe lagging was....due to all the snow and cold weather in the UK all the pipes under the extension are frozen and I've had to take up my suspended floor to get to them to unfreeze and lag.....

Ouch.  What is today's high and low temperature where you are living?  :o

Ouch, Loric!  I hope the builders can get you warm and re-plumbed again soon!

Yikes! Hopefully that'll get fixed quick-time!

Oh! Might we start talking about companions as well? I'm shooting for Esuml to have a puppy-like-in-affection ankylosaurus. What're folks shooting for?

Oiktirmon has a Sociable Anzu named Peteinos ("Pet") who can get him around quickly to make urgent house calls.  She is a real snuggle bunny.  They sleep curled up together.  She thrives on affectionate physical contact, and droops without enough hugs.  :)

She can actually give fairly decent back rubs with her forehead and her feet.  :D

I'm thinking Blue, a Curious Tyrannosaur who is a bit small for her age, but is more clever to make up for it. She has a genetic rarity: deep blue eyes. She's also Jesikah's hunting companion when she Roars at the Sun, as it were.

yes I have hot water and heating again

now for my connections

1. pick one player: who isn't fromthe wiilderness, you cant help but feel a little contempt for that character and her "civilised" ways, which shows distain for all things natural and true.

2. Pick one player: he is one of the few people that you feel completely comfortable bing around, and you are often surprised at how easily you let down your guard near him.

3. pick a player: she once saved you from an uncomfortable social situation, and you still feel grateful.

4. pick a player: this person seems to understand civilization in the same way you understand the wilderness, you could choose to help each other or despise each other for this different way of seeing the world.

Oiktirmon could be a decent match, if that works for you...  :)

I thought of your character when I read that happy to have a conncetion with your character

The Starshine family is a traveling entertaining carnival troupe. Possible you feel you might be on the recruit list. (Though, to be fair, they've never recruited outside the family)

Woo hoo!  :)

Loric has a opossum like early mammal called click

So what do we want to do as far as my connection goes? And I'm looking over what's available to see what could be good. Someone who can help me calm down would be useful, but I am also hoping we'll get to advance in this game and so I can gain control over (and greater power) with the transformation.

So I’m going to decline having Oiktirmon take a connection from me...  you seem to have the ability to connect with a lot of people so I think it would be best for you to take one of the more difficult connections.  That said I’d be interesting into connecting to you via:



I can tell you more if you’re interested though probably it’s best in pm.

As for animal companion,  Arlo is a Curious Anchiceratops.  His description is with mine.  As for personality he’s friendly and tends to get into things especially food.  Imagine a smart, friendly dog that weighs about 2 tonnes.  He has some background so anyone interested can pm me for more.
