Hola peoples. Talk about things here. I highly advise against using telepathy - I am wearing my tinfoil headgear tonight.
In my humble opinion, we should roll with the roleplay. Arial, Igor, Victor, Tiny, Gawgr. My opinion is just one, however. If anyone has a better idea, please.
Last count gave us three obvious front liners, three rogue/skill monkeys and four caster types. We're looking at two groups of five here. I know both Igor and Victor will have pets on hand most of the time to run interference for them, so they should likely be in separate classes for max funsies. We only have one divine caster and even then I would not want to pigeon hole her into being a healer against her will.
For some insight, Khol is primarily a damage dealer with some de-buffing abilities for the sake of it. In a few levels, he will be switching his customization points around as the situation demands it but until then he will be tanking and murdering. At higher levels he can and will be using a heavy steel shield while two-handing an oversized greatsword.
Given that there are 3 Skill Monkey types, we're likely to be doubled up in one of the games. It also seems to me that throwing me in with Rawrgh might be overloading one party with the more animal-characters.
Since Ignus wants to be with him to break things up with Sierra, I definitely wouldn't mind going with her. That gives both parties the skill monkey, the android, the animal creature, and Ignus and I are both ranged attackers, so that's relatively "equal" too.
I'm fine with whatever, really. Just excited to be here.
Duskade is a sneaky character who will be taking some levels in rogue in time. She is definitely a distance damage dealer, or backstabber. I also have her older than most of the other characters, so I hope that does not cause any problems...
For the sake of my own confusion (or intended lack thereof)
Azeban - Raccoonkin Gunslinger (Mechanist)
Duskade - Wayang Sorcerer
Farash - Human Fighter (Physiomorph Marauder)
Ignus 'Tiny' - Gearforged Ranger (Skirmisher)
Igor - Goblin (Blue) Psion (Shaper)
Khol - Human (Tribal) Aegis (Aberrant)
Muziel Moreau - Undine Druid (Tempest Druid, Storm Lord)
Rawgr Nyaman - Catfolk Rogue (Swashbuckler)
Sienna Six - Android Rogue (Swashbuckler)
Victor - Human Tinker
Just pitching in that I really don't care which class Sienna is in on a roleplaying perspective - on a mechanical one, however, probably not with Rawgr, as they stole Sienna's schtick of Swashbuckler archetype. And there's no need for two rogues in one class, either.
Farash would likely prefer to be with Sienna, Victor or other "regular" humans. In time he might appreciate "weirdos". Because he is totally not weird.
"Say that to my face, pinky."
I've got no real preference for which class Khol gets put in but it might be a good idea for him to be apart from Farash due to overlap as well.
Come on, Victor and Igor were meant to be played together. ;-) I'll have to look over everyone else before I decide on any personal preferences. I'm rather shocking with party balance and the like.
Honestly, I'm cool with whatever. My only strong preference is Victor. El Ronza and I have a history, and victor and Igor were kinda made to be played together in a Frankenstein/Igor esque manner. And we both love the idea of constructing an Airship. :)
Duskade will be happy to be included in either group....
Hello hello. I'm glad to be admitted to the game. My only real "preference" to which class is that I stick with Ignus, mostly because I think it would really be interesting to see that develop
Muziel was pretty quiet on the main thread, so she doesn't have any particular ties, and will go anywhere.
So, as groups go, how about this:
Group 1
Farash
Victor
Igor
Sienna
Muziel
Group 2
Azeban
Duskade
Ignus 'Tiny'
Rawgr
Khol
How does that sound to everyone?
Hmm, then switching things around a bit:
Group 1
Farash
Victor
Igor
Sienna
Azeban
Group 2
Ignus
Rawgr
Khol
Duskade
Muziel
With no other objections, can we finalize those classes?
That is satisfactory to me. We'll see what Jon says.
And I think I need to rework my sheet - I saw Swashbuckler's 'take combat trick twice' as 'take combat trick twice at 1st level', which is NOT the correct interpretation.
That sucks. :(
We all make mistake. I remember when I thought Mage Armour stacked with full plate.
If those classes are agreeable to people, I shall start later tonight/tomorrow, depending on whether my lung is coughed out or remains flesh-bound.
I'm not sure if we'll have formal names. In my head I call one class the Waifs and the others the Strays.
...I am too creative!
Dibs on Waifs for Sienna's group!
Only if I can cook "waiffles" on a regular basis. :D
I still have to finish the last bits of my character sheet. It's the gear and languages that have me stumped... And the groups look good to me.
I'm good with those classes.
Victor, I'd just pick up the bare bones right now. Get you a weapon, armor and any tools you might need.
Finished updating her, going with straight rogue for now. Shame to lose all those wonderful feats, but you got to do what you got to do.
Yes, I'll be starting threads for each group - if the system allows I'll link both to this discussion, but I somehow doubt it'll allow that. If not I'll use this thread for joint events.
Joint events. Sounds fun already!
Wayf Farash reddy too go Teetcher.
I'm totally good with those groups, too.
I still need to do my equipment for small items, which I'll take care of this morning. Otherwise I'm ready to roll.
Duskade is much more a Stray than a Waif..lol I think she has everything she needs (or can afford), so ready to go!
I'm firmly in the Waif category. I even have 0 gold left after equipment as proof. :)

I guess this means Jon is now sans a lung. RIP lung. You will be missed.
How do you know? I may have decided to start only if the lung stayed, as writing would remove the pain of loosing important organs. Who can write without angst, I ask you, and what better angst than rebellious organs? I will be starting in an hour or two, however. Yay me and doing stuff I said I would.
Touché. :)
Class One, please report to The Woe of Waifs.
Class Two, please report to A Story of Strays.
Still working to see if I can link them to this thread...
Bargh. I shall attempt to fix them.
He already edited away the waif thread, so I'm guessing no.
They should be up. Just click the Gameplay tab on the threads I linked to before...
In theory.
Of course, it would help if those tabs had shown up.
Clicking on those should take you to the gameplay thread, and activate the tabs. I have no idea why the other one doesn't.
Dude, I'm lurking everywhere, feel free to comment.
