This is the OOC Thread...

Okay, here we go! I figured it would be fastest to just resurrect my old game that I had no takers for at the time.

So... Pick a portrait, and... I imagine you'll want me to change your name to the character name you emailed me? Yes?

O hi there!  :)

Portrait is clicked!  And sure, her character name would be Lucy Lopez.

And if you're setting Lucy up the same as in your description, her character sheet would be...

Lucy Lopez
Major Power: Telepathy
Forceful -1
Agile +0
Insightful +1
Charming +2

I have unlocked your character sheet, put this info in it, and done things to your Biography lines!

Now... where will you start? A city? Not a city as such? Any preference where?

At the end of her backstory I left her in Atlantic City, using her powers to cheat at poker.  She can't manipulate the deck, so she can't win every hand (and wouldn't want to even if she could, people would start to get suspicious!).  But she can know what cards everyone else is holding.  She's trying to play it relatively subtle, just winning enough every few nights to keep her fed and pay for her room at the casino hotel for a while.

Also she's not 21, and does not really look 21, so she has to occasionally psychically nudge the security staff to let her keep playing.

Just one more thing... my game are, in general, set at "General..." I'm not big on sexytime//romance games/plots.

Hope that's not a problem.

No problem with me.  I mean, I wouldn't mind if Lucy were to be pursued romantically, but it's not a thing she's prioritizing (for obvious reasons) and I wouldn't be the slightest bit interested in playing out any sexytimes explicitly or graphically at all.  The only thing that would concern me about a General rating would be Lucy's tendency to cuss just amazingly abusively.  She has a mouth like a longshoreman (in two languages!).  Would a Mature rating (definitely not Adult though) be comfortable for you?

No, I don't care about that. Go right ahead.

I just like to stick to General to avoid sex and gore etc.




Mmmmmmmmm sorta maybe?

Now that I think we have an understanding (You: GM is not here for sex/gore/romance-- Me: PC gets to cuss all she wants), I'll change it if you want me to...

I'm definitely on board with that understanding.

Honestly the rating doesn't really make a difference to me?  I just don't have a clear sense of where RPoL's line is drawn about dirty words, and I wouldn't want either of us to get on the wrong side of the mods whenever Lucy bitches anyone out.  :)

Rating changed to M.

Off I go to make an In-Game thread...

Oh, and one more thing to understand is that I have the most time to spend posting in the (Western hemisphere) mornings. Not sure if I'll get to again today or not... I'll try... but if not, I'll be back tomorrow morning (by my time)!

No prob!

I'm in US Central time, but I work overnights.  But also a lot of times I can get a post or two in at my desk in the early mornings.  So my schedule will likely seem very weird.

I am not actually Cuban myself.  But I googled a lot of Cuban slang for this character.  :D

Fine by me. Astrid just hasn't encountered the term very often, that's all.

Gringa is a perfectly valid thing to say.
