In this version, Jin served in the Rangers but acted as a whistleblower against Captain Lem Boudin in the Argyre chapter. He leaked information about the captain's brutal handling of interrogations and the suppression of protests but failed to get him thrown out: all he managed was to get the whole division sidelined. The Captain figured out who must have been leaking his business to the Tharsis League and let's just say the rest of Jin's days in Argyre were less than pleasant. He's since moved on to freelance ego hunting, taking jobs for the autonomists and Tharsis League alike. After working a few particularly rough jobs, one of his clients invited him to join Firewall- after explaining that he had already been working for them for some time. Having lost family during the Fall (what Martian hadn't?), he couldn't say no to ensuring it wouldn't happen again. His proxy gave him the codename "Pilgrim" as an homage to those old Pre-Fall westerns. For the time being, he tries to keep the different factions he works for satisfied while staying one step ahead of Captain Boudin's attempts at revenge.
Pivo is done, i made him myself so mechanically he probably is rough around the edges. 
So we got:
Mostly done, and I'm almost done prepping on my end. Anyone got universe questions or mechanics questions I can help explain before we begin? This PbP will most likely rely on the momentum of posts and the pro-activeness of the players. On my part, I will do my best to immerse you in the world so you will be motivated to post.
mechanics question so i look at my character. he has, say, Engineering. it says COG 75 80. the 5 disparity is due to the morph. then i look at Pilot Watercraft and that is REF 15 15. so no morph bonus. my question is, do i add my REF score to the 15 or the 80 or whatever? and then, if i remember correctly, the point is to roll d100 and get below your number? ============= also, what does a specialization do for you?
You have two sets of skills in your stats - one for pure Ego, and the other one with morph. In short - the rightmost number in you Morph skills is your total "ranks".
Specialization provides a +10 modifier when using that skill in a situation appropriate to that specialization. Hope I cleared things out. Also, check this skills, it explains much better than I do.
I'll get an alias set up in a more readable format than the text dump. Should we all know each other at the start? Do we know where we're starting from? 
Aleksander is a freelance hacker, a pretty darn good one. He has moved around the system quite a bit under his false identity Benjamin Powers. But his work pseudonym is "Ainigmata", for which he aims to have great renown. Rules question, are we using 2nd edition?
Still reading over 2nd edition rules, but should be compatible except for a few minor changes for ease of use. For the first mission, we'll have you guys be strangers so you can roleplay meeting each other. Normal Firewall missions are usually like this, cells forming if they find you work well together or for specific missions. Still prepping, but hopefully should start soon.
Got work for the next two days (12 hour shifts, yikes) and I'll spend my off hours getting the mission ready. Please have your alias's and character ready. Promise I won't ghost you, so please don't ghost me.
I'll have the profile ready tonight! Excited for game!
Okay, Pilgrim is ready to roll. I'll add more notes about gear, etc. when I have time and get the stat line under his name.
Would you guys prefer a fresh thread or just reusing this one? I'm gonna stick to a short adventure now, and we'll how everyone feels at the end of it.
I'm good either way
I'm fine with continuing in the previous thread if that's easiest.
I'm fine either way.
Whatever is easiest for the gm
Alright, one last question before I start the first post of this new session. 1. What kind of game do you want to play? Eclipse Phase is a great setting and provides a variety of different conflicts and atmospheres. Would you like to be in non-stop action? Sneaking through enemy territory in soul-crushing horror? What about intrigue, each of you wondering if one among you is actually a traitor? I can make tweaks to the core module based on your answers.
I like mysteries and investigation type games (hence why I run a Cthulhu game on the boards and rolled up an ego hunter) and conspiracies. Occasional combats and horror scenarios are also cool and maybe a heist or two as a change of pace would be welcome.
I shy from intrigues, especially in the PbP space, primarily because it is hard to keep track of the many games I am in, and intrigue games tend to be heavy on information that you need to track. I made Pivo to be an explorer/salvager. He can fit in a number of game types.
A little bit of everything, I guess. Although too much of intrigue is not my cup of tea. For firewall connection, I think some job might have led Cat there. Or a Firewall agent took interest in Cat.
Aleks is a pure freelancer. With money as a reason, he could be anywhere.
I had another character idea that i might make use of if Pivo goes down hard. but if the game is taking another direction, i might use them instead. i was thinking of some kind of synth that was into stealth and infiltration, i dunno. didnt really flesh it all the way out.
Pivo is alright to use. I'm planning on starting on Monday.
I'm gonna fill in the rest of the page with dots, so we start fresh at 151.
I found out that I built my char a bit wrong so I used the 3rd link to help create again. Same proficiencies, some other clarifications and changes.
As a heads-up, I'll be out of town starting tomorrow 6/13. I should be able to check in once a day or so, but by all means DMPC me if I'm holding up the game.
Yeah aleks sent the datapacks
Feeling good about it. Understanding of what to roll with is growing. Aleks is definitely not going with the crew to the drug dealer. I built him for purely info gathering and accessing places we shouldn't be.
I'm good. Definitely want to keep going. Cat is definitely going to the meeting. That's what she was made for - intimidating things and killing things.
Definitely still ready to go. Not where I imagined we would be, but interested to see where we will end up.
Yup, good to go. Let's keep on rolling.
Just a heads-up that I'll be on vacation from this coming Sunday to Thursday- data is a bit expensive on my phone for international service but I can likely check in when I have wifi.
Moved into a new apartment, the internet down. Hopefully up tomorrow. 
I've got people in town until the end of the month. I will still be checking in, but irregularly. Bot me if needed please.
To all my games, I am going to be leaving tomorrow for a humanitarian trip to help those in need. I will only have access to my smartphone at the time, so I will not be able to post during this time. I estimate my return to the boards in the first week of January. If I'm a player and you find this absence unfavorable, I understand if you remove me from the game. If I'm the GM, and you'd rather leave the game if it stalls for this long, I understand your withdrawal. In either case, message me and we'll get things sorted out. But I do wish everyone Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
I honestly don't remember how to roll initiative.
anyone see Altered Carbon on netflix? it is basically exactly the same as Eclipse Phase in terms of sleeves and casting and all that.
About to watch it.
Heard about it. Eclipse Phase lists Altered Carbon as one of their top inspirations, so seems like good material.
Huh, I don't know how I missed it. Looks like I'll have something to watch on the weekend.
ah i didnt even know Altered Carbon existed before this show
Updates tomorrow. Lost track of time and I need to reference rules.
Gonna update tomorrow. Doing all the maths will make me late for work tomorrow.
Altered Carbon was great. Thanks for the suggestion.
His hacking goal is to get off quickly on a floor along the way or just send the elevator back down.
I'm still thinking of what to do. Will post later
