Sent second PM with question/concern about movement rates.

PMs addressed. So as you are going to be the foremost novas of the generation, what do you guy want to do? I've got a fairly plot driven story written on the back of my skull, but I'd also like your thoughts as well.

For me the themes of this character are about the juxtaposition. The distinction between a sweet young girl who wants nothing more than to help others around aher and a juggernaut built for war. The distinction between being so vulnerable and then invulnerable. Not quite a coming of age story but definitely one showing how the world can tarnish the innocence of youth...or maybe it can't.

Sorry that's so vague but without understanding more about your unique vision/cosmology Im trying to stick to the underlying themes.

I suppose there is also a possible conflict with Darren as well, in that he can access the best (and worst) of humanity with his telepathy, but is also subject to influence from tapping into the mindset of the animal kingdom through his Animal Mastery. Both sides will influence his development over time with gains in new/improved mental powers (intuition, mirage, hypnosis, mental blast, channeling telepathy are all possibilities), but also animalistic ones (like body mods, claws, and eventually shapeshift?)

Not sure if that helps at all?

Does it also improve Q recovery like Node does?

Hmmm. What to play, what to play.

I am certainly in, but what to play?

I don't want to copy either my ITB char or my EDEN char (which is still in the works Rorx - sorry for the delay).

This will take me a few days minimum to come up with. Once my head clears of this pesky flu.

EDIT: A magic style Nova has been up there on my list for some time. Eruption via ordeals of ritual magic in some classic mystery cult style occult society. Some Ars Magica inspiration may be forthcoming

That could work Darklighter. Don't forget your going to get picked up up.

I'm not sure if i should increase regeneration with GS, whats do you guys think?

The forum for your game is now active.

Thank you. Lets hear it for Chosen guys.

So far we have a 8 year old girl turning into a berserk huge monster, a forester turned psychic, with animal influence, a doctor healer, and then there is to be one more character in the party that is going to be both the glue and part of the reason for certain future events but that’s not important yet.

Yay for the forum! Thanks Chosen.

I am starting to cobble together my background. With roots as far back as Pythagoras on the Isle of Samos. Instead of basing a power concept on a comic book or on science, this one will be oriented along the lines of classical/hermetic metaphysics (well, a scanty version of a mystery cult).

I honestly thought that it already did, misread on my part. So, my vote would be that it does, even if it's only +1regen/2lvls. Also, are there any dots in genetic superiority beyond the standard 5? That would be interesting.

Second, as I told lead in PM's, the idea of Scott is standing between the innocents and the bad guys that would hurt them as well as actively helping the good guys and innocents.

Lastly, I'd just like to point out one thing that I wouldn't like to see that much of, philosophy. I'm perfectly content (and Scott will be as well) with saying that he got these new powers, and that he'll use them for the good of humanity. I guess I'm just trying to say that I don't want this game to get too heady. I have some very strong personal beliefs and ideals, and in all honesty I'd prefer to just not get into that here (especially with the GM, because what they say goes in their world, regardless).

So no Tarantino-cum-Wachowski extended monologues of philosophical exposition?

Personally I don't mind at least some delving of thought into the deeper layers of things. Its what seperates the meat from the fluff. I would also point out to SG that your character usually but not always has differing personal beliefs and ideals. Or are you making a "you" character?

This isnt going to be about philosophy, dont worry. Its going to be a ride though.

GS-I don't know can dots go higher then 5?

Only at Q6+

Your character will be develing into deep uncharted waters so there will plenty to talk about.

I would like to play if there is still room, basic idea is '3-card monty' street-rat.

SL, I'm not making a 'me' character, per-se. I've found out, through my RP experiences, that I am a 'method actor', meaning that I have to, momentarily, 'become' my character, mentally. As such, while I have strong religious beliefs (and thus philosophical, ideological, scientific, political, etc.), I try and stay away from most of that with my characters. When RP'ing, I'm a big proponent of the 'generic right thing', or 'natural law' as some have said, and not much interested in the why's (because it's so diverse and such a hot topic, and it's hard for me to keep my character and me separate when we go there).

I can go deep into relationships, logic, and other topics, but this is one that I try and stay away from.

No worries SG, I doubt anyone here wants to make you uncomfortable.

As I can only truely speak for myself: you will find that Stavros also wants the generic 'right thing', though he isn't going to be a saint or anything. He certainly won't be public with his metaphysical views, as he is part of a secret society

Hi lead,
i'm crazyroundeye from the whitewolf forums, I'd like to join if there's room, I would like to play an electricity based nova who erupted in a nuclear reactor in south Korea. is this viable?
peace
brad

Still room for you Forge, go ahead and get working on the rest.

Crazyroundeye-sorry there is no room in the game right now. Forge beat yah to the punch

w00t! I will work on getting it done if I can this weekend.

Curses!! Alright, have fun storming the castle.

I know its taken a minute for this to get off the ground but its coming within the next week as I call last round on players add the finalize their sheets.

Still with ya lead. Just holla if you need anything more from me

Ideas. Always pm me with random ideas. Always.

Ready when you are Lead. Waiting to get abducted, or find out I've been abducted.

Any clues to Forge's character, as we already have some idea of the themes/backgrounds of the others.

I do believe that once I get a glimpse at your world, lead... then I might come up with some ideas... maybe...

So, just to recap:

- Game is 1 week before Galatea Explodes
- It is 1998 standard as per canon setting?
- People are going about their various lives...


Anything else that differs?

Yep, Darklighter thats how it stands.

er...he mentioned something about Aliens in there too...

... and some hints about the occult / supernatural ...

... but I am guessing that those sort things are well hidden / fleeting / not credible in terms of greater society.

how long since we erupted? any limit or should I assume within the last year? I should have most of my char done today and sent with a descrip posted as well.

edit: reread the thread, disregard stupid question.

Let me say its aliens, not so much occult.

We almost ready?

As far as I know I'm done.

char is submitted for approval, otherwise I believe I am done and ready.

I'm ready, whenever everybody (read lead) else is.

Well, that makes 5 PC's ready to go
Sounds good to me!
