I might have a bit of social capabilities as well for choice of key that needs it and I am considering now if I'll add some physical prowess too.

Still not applying for neither "face" nor "arm"...

Wow! This is why I wanted to get us talking! Definitely a lot of overlap all around. I typically play either combat-focused or social characters in most games, so I wanted to try something different and push myself out of my comfort zone!

While I was tempted to combine your assorted posts and claim that was my character it's not.

Malcolm's an older sort and while not necessarily anti-social probably tends towards more towards irritable grunts where he can get away with it. Though the whole dying and coming back means he's getting out of bad habits more as part of that. He's not going to be a hacker though I might give him some low tech capabilities and I'd not especially considered a stealth focus so won't be treading on any toes there.

Well, I think I will rethink my character a little bit. :P

I've been thinking about some other concepts as well, to avoid so much overlap! Stephen, if you are sold on the idea of being a hacker, just stick with it.

I might go the old route and just come up with a combat character since we seem to be lacking in overall muscle anyway!

I am loving this. Thank you, Cassandra, for starting the convo.

Though if you all decided to stay similar and start a "The girl with the dragon tattoo" krewe, I would be all for that. ;p


Attention all players!!: If you have not done so, please select an avatar so that I can associate an image with your character.

Heya!

She beat me to it, but Welcome, Riley Mercier! Do you take coffee or tea?

Riley the other players were sharing character concepts to see if there might be any team ups before we begin. Feel free to join them. :)

Sorry,  I'm really excited.  I haven't gotten much of a chance to play a chronicles game in some time,  and Geist is near the top of my favorite splats of the line.

I'll be playing Riley Mercier, she's a torn/reaper.

She probably doesn't stand out all that much,  fresh out of college,  life was just getting on track.  She met the woman of her dreams, and,  well,  their lives were cut short.  Riley, in a moment of rage accepted the pact.  Since than,  she's been doing her best to clean up the world one person at a time.


I'll probably be leaning social and than moving into combat as the character is a young sin eater.  Which I understand is kind of hamstringing,but,  I want things to make sense.

I am happy you are excited! Geist is my fav splat too! :)

Hey all! I created an announcements thread. Please check it out.

Welcome Mordecai Fischer! Have a hot beverage!

Welcome Mordecai!

Also, say goodbye to Cassie and hello to Sandy! But really, only those closest to her get to call her that.

A Chicana from East LA, she spent some time up in Yosemite working for the US National Park Service. After a series of unfortunate events, she ended up having to make a bargain with some creepy ass thing to save her own life. She's one of the Prey and has found a new purpose as a Gatekeeper in her newfound life post-bargain.

To avoid overlap with other folks, I changed my original concept altogether. Sandy is a much more physical character, a bit rough around the edges, still not super social as she prefers to spend time alone or with animals rather than other people. She's quite handy with her pistol and drives a light pickup truck.

Mechanically speaking, she's definitely more of a combat character with some decent knowledge of the occult (thanks to her Abuela being a very superstitious woman), good survival skills and a mean stare (AKA some dots in Intimidation). As far as supernatural abilities go, I've invested all of my 3 starting dots into the Caul manifestation. In terms of Keys, I stuck with the two that are linked to the Prey Threshold: Grave-Dirt and Primeval.

Well you just went with a reasonable overlap of what I was considering Sandra so I'll rethink what I was going with a smidge :). Won't be too much given I'm not really planning a heavy combat sort but want to minimise the overlap.

In reply to Sandra Alvarez (msg # 35):

Welcome, new old person!  It's interesting that you've had a run-in with the National Park Service.  Do you still stay in touch?  Hans actually has a part-time job with them right now, taking care of a site on Liberty Island.

Are any character sheets ready for review?

I believe mine might be ready!

@Hans -- Yes, I do have a couple of dots of Resources, so she's definitely still got a job with them in some form!

Yes, I'm still wishing I had more skill points, but I ended up not moving anything.  My sheet is also ready for review.

My sheet is ready for review!

I'll be playing Mordecai Fischer, a Gamer who burned to death at Dragon-Con. He makes dice and GM's for a living (if a meager one) and spends lots of time traveling to gaming conventions. He's a Celebrant - happy to have 'Survived' his incident, and pushes other people to live their best lives.

Key and Threshold Wise, we're looking at Pyre-Flame and Phantasmal Keys with the Caul and Boneyard Thresholds. I look forward to playing with you folks!

I'm still trying to figure out if I want to go passion or stigmata.

passion I'll likely focus on curse,  while stigmata would likely be rage.

In reply to Mordecai Fischer (msg # 41):

Boneyard bros, represent!


Burned to death at Dragon-con, you say... were any large lizards involved?

Hi everyone!

Forgive me, it's been hectic and I must be slacking.


Welcome Linda May! Your first drink is free!

Can't find one that fits so i tossed a pick into the Character Description if that's okay for now...

The Avatar Submission team is super backed up so... it's going to be a long time before any new avatars get uploaded for use, but I'll be submitting it anyway, never know might get lucky and see it by next year.  ;)

Picked an icon, sheet still WIP. :D
