I am not sure what a 'pockerface' is, but a Google search brings up a lot of Lady Gaga hits, so I am not sure I like the connotation.
Stick made me giggle.
I named Nine Tail thinking of his background. But none of you know that IC so you can continue to try to name him. But it will come out that he is a spirit rager after he made a deal with a kitsume (a 9-tailed fox spirit). His spirit attacks will be manifestations from these tails, but as a lowly 1st level character, this will not be obvious. That reminds me I need to update my profile page with his back story.
You and me both.
Ah, ok. That's cool. Stick is a good one, and not a blatent mick-take like two-cub. I think that could be a good bet. I dunno how familiar you are with poker Nine Tail, but when someone has a good poker face it means their expression is unreadable and so their opponent can't tell how they feel about events in the game. A good poker face is considered a real asset since the game is all about guessing what cards your opponent has. Unfortunately, Lady Gaga has written a song with that title and said song has infuriatingly been stuck in my head since I made the suggestion...
Oh I see. Poker I understand. You mistyped Pocker, so I was thinking pock marked or scarred or something. :)

I mean stick like in the mud or the one up his arse. ;)
I just thought to was because he isn't a carrot kind of guy. Actually, to be fair he's only got aggressive once, it's just that one time involved holding a sword to your neck

Haha, that works well too. Hadn't thought of that one.
Finally got my backstory up. Feel free to read it.
Heh! Sorry... Jax tends to get a little tense at times! But hey you didn't bleed... he is getting better! :)
Yeah we can call him 'The Stick'. And then it is up to each person to image how the stick is used.
Haha! So Jax "The Stick" Fury. Chilling! ;)
I notice things are escalating a bit over on the campfire thread. We're going to have to get a fair few fights under our collective belt before we're anything resembling a band of brothers.
Cool backstory Valen. Gotta wonder how that demon blood got into your family tree in the first place. Same goes for you Nine-tail (I thought I was a long way from home!).
We really are a carnival of characters. We've got a Mwangian, a Tian, a man who appears to be half giant, a Half-Elf, a Taldan, a Halfling and well I'm not sure where Fury is from. But certainly a wide collection of characters.
Haha! So Jax "The Stick" Fury. Chilling! ;)
heheheheheh. Jax on a stick is better. Not chilled no-no. Roasted... yes roasted. Succulent...
You may be the carnival, but we have the bag pipe playing dwarf.

Meat bag. Heart pipes. Dwarf Haggis. Served with the neeps of Squads 2 & 3. Fit for a Crimson King.
"Take a halfling, give him a taste for human flesh and a poor grasp of common and you've got yourself a goblin. Careful not to burn yourself Abitan."
"Take a Halfling, slit his chest open, stuff em with salt and ram a staff where the sun don't shine and we got ourselves a new banner. Course we may need to add his little buddy later on. If we can get three of them we can set em in camp as our Pest Totem Pole!"
"...wow"

Burrrrrr. Chilly threats from the North "Wind". Warm you over the fire pit? Basted in your own fat. Succulent.
It's a good thing we're on opposite sides of the continent, given that in our company apparently makes no distinction between good-natured ribbing and death threats. That said, the mock-squad names are pretty funny. Squad 2 won't respond in kind, though - we're the bigger men.
Heh.... Bigger men. :D
Sir?! I ain't no Officer Gremm my boy. No need to address me as such. We are the same you and I, Soldiers in the Iron Council. Grunts! I was just agreeing with Torque here, about us being the bigger men. Gorum knows you are one of the biggest damn Soldiers I ever did see!
Good stuff, a higher DC means it gets made quicker.
Also, while we're on the subject, there's an in the rules of the class. It doesn't specify the stat that affects the save DCs of spells cast using wierd science. What's the ruling there?
Congratulations!
Congratulations Pentor! Damn I wish someone would take the pressure off of me. Being the oldest and the one all my friends have voted as being the one most likely to sire a bastard son, I am seen as a shoe-in for first Godchild. Which aint good!
Congrats! No worries on the delay! It just gave us a chance to post more.
Good job Gremm. Keep them eyes peeled!

Lummox Stealth:
"So you camp followers are babysitting a fat merchant. Sounds... (cough) dangerous. Watch you don't break a nail undoing his money belt ladies."
"If you were not so low to the ground we could see you. If I could see you, I would shoot you!"
perception check
"It's a job we in the soldiering trade call 'defence'. Of course squad 1 can't be trusted with charges, only victims. I see the higher-ups decided that 'go here, kill some dudes' was the level of complexity you're comfortable with"
hmmm, hopefully everyone will be able to post today and we'll be able to start.
Gremm, just because the ladies like me doesn't mean you need to be jealous. ;)
I'm sure we can find a beautiful taller woman to set you up with.
I came across a Troll on my way to rendezvous with you guys. I could give her a holler and have her up for you in no time Big Guy!
Nah Gremm I like my women like I like my alcohol, strong and pale as snow!" the half Ulfen Private grins.
Hakon meanders through and around the squad holding up measuring tape to various parts of different squad members and recording the lengths of femurs, tibias, fibias, radii and ulnae. He even goes so far as to wrap the tape around peoples heads as they sit or lie down when they have to rest from the rigors of doing nothing.
Every so often someone catches a half heard disembodied phrase...
"Oh, yes! That skull would be a fine addition as cap post."
"Just look at those legs! Charles will be very lucky indeed to lie with you."
"Aren't you just a handsome one? Sigh... I could keep that face from ever aging another day if you'd just let me have it."
"Oooooh! Your left eye would really compliment Krathok's coloring and he has just the spot for it, too."
Feeling something brush his forehead, Jax shrugs. 'Probably the wind!'. "Aye Gremm. Tian or Ulfen is just damn perfect with me. Chelaxian is a bit soft for my liking but still..."
Laughing softly, Jax nods. "Aye. The women of the Ulfen tribes are tough as nails. My mother was an Ulfen Warrior, my Father a Taldan Knight (Cavalier). They fell in love when she unhorsed him on a battlefield. Or at least that is what the Old Man says. My mom tells it differently. Apparently it was less unhorse and more smash his ribs to bits with her Warhammer!" Jax grins broadly and stares off in to the distance. "I dream of a day my ribs get smashed in by a tall beautiful Ulfen woman!"
