I am Loose Cannon, an experiment gone wrong, an anomaly that had to be terminated. I run away from my captors alongside Scarlett Wolf and have been living in the sewers of Century Station for some months now. We help to those in need when possible but we have to keep in the shadows as the company that created us, is still tracking Wolf and me to end that annoying loose end.

Thank you thank you for letting me join your game. I've loved this companies games since I started roleplaying when I was 12 years old. Most people seem to not like to play this companies games online, so I was so glad to see someone was running one here.

I am a very flexible GM, use the materials you want and create the character you feel confortable with. You do not have to roll the random tables, you can pick whatever super abilities you are entitled to. Regarding how many super abilities and the type, keep it average and feel free to use whatever sourcebook you own.
We are starting at level 1. For attributes roll 4d6 dropping lowest. Allot the rolled numbers as you wish.
Select also your education and skills.
The gruop we are forming is something like Batman and the Outsiders from the 80's a mix between street level and some powerful assets.
We are a cohesive group but we do not have a quarter yet. We are an underground group not yet visible and some of the members are considered outlaws. Everyone has a life but we meet when trouble arise. We are totally new and not attached to any group or hero in Century Station.

Okay, I tried to use the Rifts setting in the die roller and most of the rolls suck. a 4, a 5 and two 6's. Like wtf? I should've went with what the GM said and did the 4d6 drop the lowest 1. :(

In reply to Scarlet Wolf (msg # 5):

Yeah, the dice roller tends to be a bit wonky.   It either gives you really bad results or really good.

I'm still thinking about the exact character build, but leaning toward magic user (either something like a wizard or a super who's powers are mystic in origin).

I think I got through all the dice rolling I need to setup, so I should be good to go whenever we need to start.

Seriously considering a Body of Metal Tank. I have never played one in 36 years of loving this game.

It would be nice you create a short origin, if you are familiar to Century Station, you could include some of the city's lore in your origin. That would be awesome.

I recommend you to see the maps I have uploaded in the maps section. Those pictures will give you a general idea of Century Station.

I have the link but I need the opening and closing code to make the image visible. The image is in a cloud.

Re: OOC

OK, too sleepy to find my HU book at the moment.

I will get my character done tomorrow (I work in a game store so it won't be a problem).

Re: OOC

I did not expect this response from players. Thought HU was not that popular but I was wrong. This group is full and some people who requested joining could not. I created a second campaign for those who could not get into this one. It will be set on a regular American town, the fictional town of Valle Lindo in California. The population is roughly 500k inhabitants and our group is the only vigilante group in the city. They have good relations with the law and are beloved by the neighbors. About four people probably will join the second campaign but I would like having 2-3 more players to round the group. Do not want to advertise it because probably some other people again will be left out so if some of you participating in this game want to participate in the other campaign send a RTJ following the link below. First come, first served, sorry for that.

Re: OOC

Keep in mind that RPOL tends to front load interest, but it falters easily and attrition will happen, it is almost always best to have one or two extra characters in any new game.

Yes, player attrition is expected, the group is 7 right now. Staying 3-4 is acceptable for me. I can handle two campaigns at the same time, have plenty Palladium material so I don't think will run out of ideas any time soon.
