Okay, I made the character sheets user editable.  I forgot to that earlier.  Welcome Tailgate and Vamp!

Penny Arcade (OOC Discussion)

spectre bowed out so I put an ad for players, looking for about 3 more.

In the meantime, I'm not going to do the character generation as we play thing with military tests, etc.  I will use elements of that for the first scenario as you guys get evolved.

I'm trying to fill out the school and the neighborhood so the characters have anchors, know where they are supposed to fit.  You are welcome to suggest NPCs to help fill out the roll call, or connections among them and you, etc.  Right now I'm working on other juvies, though I have three adults ready:  Mr. Schmidt, Vice Principal; Mr. Mushingi, a guidance counselor; and Ms. Cavanagh, owner of The Celtic Knot, a book store behind the school.

Welcome Andy!  Right now, we have potentially two board punks (Tailgate and Andy) and I don't know what yogang Vamp identifies with.  I say potentially because I understand some concepts are in development.

Hello all!

Nah, I'm fine with going GoGanger instead. Actually I have a couple of yogangs that could be fun depending on what others settle on.

Welcome Valeriya!  Likely a Glitter Girl, right?

We have four, I'm looking to see if we can get a fifth. Also, we have a gender imbalance 3 to 1 girls to boys.  Very interesting.  Will have to work on some more NPCs.

Okay, I unlocked the character sheet.  I don't have a template, please just make sure all of the relevant information is there.  Follow the instructions in the notice about Making a Character.  Please put in the description of your character any information that is obvious from looking at you and anything that people at school or in the neighborhood would know about you.  (You can put false rumors in there also.)  Age, ATT and Body scores like I did for the NPCs, as those are fairly obvious.

I could really do Andy as a Beaverbrat, too, depending. She's a street artist and tagger. But I like her most as a Boardpunk and getting into that whole anarchist sort of style. So I appreciate the flexibility!

Looking forward to it, Cybergen is a favorite of mine.

I don't know if you know already (and if you do my apologies for butting in, lol) but there IS a yogang called Taggers that leaves artistic messages and things like that in the....I think MediaFront book?

That should work better than a dozen bodyguards - don't get close or you'll be infested with the sparkly stuff forever :P

I think I'm good for statistics and skill, do I choose equipment and stuff?

No problem! I do know about them, but I'm just not into the way their speciality works? Which is a pretty common issue I have with some of the Yogangs, haha.

Re: Penny Arcade (OOC Discussion)

For gear you have the things that you get as part of the yogang; not the mall run.  Generally its three or four things from a short list.

Re: Penny Arcade (OOC Discussion)

And welcome Jai!  A Mall Brat and our last player for now (if anyone drops out I'll recruit replacements.)  I'd prefer no drop outs (from the game, not the school) of course.

Okay, so recap:  follow the instructions in the Making a Character thread.  Gear is limited to what your yogang gives you.  In the description of your character put in an image if you have one, and anything that people know about you from looking at you, or that is known or rumored about you in school or around the neighborhood.

I'll put up a starter for the game thread in the next few hours or tomorrow the latest.

Good idea to work out connections as well.  Unlikely you all run in the same group, but circles can intersect like a venn diagram.

Re: Penny Arcade (OOC Discussion)

OK - items chosen, profile completed, picture added.

Taking a look at the NPCs, I'm thinking Val is probably in the same orbit as Theodor, perhaps a rival of Kat? Her parents probably think a normal high school is a waste of time and potential security risk, so fair chance she's made to stay at their new penthouse and have private tutors teach her instead. As often as she can, she sneaks out and goes to the Obelisk to take a break from the stress of such a controlled life.

Re: Penny Arcade (OOC Discussion)

Vamp would most likely despise Valeriya's music given she's into the Goth/Industrial/Darkwave scene so that could be a source of tension and fun RP.

Re: Penny Arcade (OOC Discussion)

Val as part of Theodor's scene works for me.  Iva, Dion and Camille are Lookers, not Glitter/Golden; of them, Iva built her image on a "girl next door" and as far as anyone can tell is genuinely a nice and wonderful person.  Dion is rans and Camille is just catty.  Jonathan, Stefan and Albert are Golden Boys; old families, old money.  Not attached to a specific corp as their parents are more board member of several rather than loyal to any one.

Andy is more like, Ska-revival and pop classics. Like BENEE and Phishing Rod or Vansire or Jungle Hunt or ... whatever, y'know?

Andy probably usually hangs around with the Cyclones, at least some. She has a crush on Hunter but, kinda like... Who doesn't? And kinda like, ok, who names their friends? Is this West Side Story? Whatever, it's a mess.

I'll take suggestions for tag/handles for the Cyclones, I just sort of made them up.  Though I like the girls' names better than the boys' myself.
