Welcome to The Nonary Game, a game of conspiracy, betrayal, secrets, and the number nine.
What does "Nonary" mean Alex?
Anyway here is my character
-James
"Nonary" means that something has to do with the number nine. Also, don't go look it up, because I'm basing the story off of something similar, so you might find spoilers. :P
Hello, boys.
You should add something to the skills along the lines of seduction(perhaps bluff covers this?) and slight of hand (for pick pockets). and perhaps climbing/scaling. something to pick locks.
You mentioned combat. hmmm. Speed could = dodge. Strength could add to damage. If you have a weapon then perhaps strength is multiplied by that when attacking with that weapon. We should add something like accuracy which is how often you hit. We could roll speed vs accuracy and the winner does damage. we could also do it so the damage dealt is accuracy(roll) - speed(roll) + strength. For more tanky character they could possibly use strength to block but take half damage?
Anyway, we need a seduction skill.
Hovhanness, have we met? Cuz you read my mind with that seduction skill idea of yours. Sounds like it would come in... handy...
Maybe luck could use luck as a source of re rolling?
Or to not get pregnant.
what are you planning jacob?
Hey, Alex, where do i post my back story?
I should also mention that once the game starts, it will be impossible to add players to the game. That means no rerolling characters. It will all make more sense once the campaign begins.
You can send me your back story as a private message Jacob.
ok sounds good! i hope i don't die then!
You'd better not get me killed ,Hovhanness! You big, sexy, hot hunk!
Maya Russey lived with her two parents. Her parents were rich and powerful and were, therefore, able to buy Maya whatever she wanted. They spoiled her with gifts but not much attention. Their work dominated their lives and they left Maya unattended for most of her life. Not noticing what she was doing or who she was with. Nor what she was becoming. The attention deprived spoiled little girl would soon find out a way to get more attention than she could handle.
Maya had somewhat matured faster than the rest of the girls which made her one of the most attractive girls in her school. All the boys wanted to date her and she found that she loved the attention. She began to notice in the paper, that when men would win big prizes, like the power bowl, or the lottery, they would also suddenly find true love. Maya realized that it wasn’t the man who loved to woman, but the woman loved the money, and the man loved the body. She realized that with her superior good looks perhaps she could do this too. She started out by asking boys to fetch her things. Such as tissue paper, to sharpen her pencil for her, or to get her her bag when she “forgot” it at her desk. She started to realize her charm when she was just 13 years old.
Once she entered high school everyone knew her name. She was the most popular girl in the school and every guy wanted to be with her. She refused, however, to go out with anyone. She knew that if she did, other guys might back off from helping her and hitting on her. So instead, she decided that it would be more fun to make the boys fight over her and use this to get them to almost compete to cater to her wishes. She soon started to use fashion as a tool to easily get attention, both from girls and from guys. The boys gawked over her and the girls envied her. Everyone in the school knew who she was.
By age 15 Maya decided to shorten her list of friends to only those who she deemed the prettiest girls in the school, besides herself of course. It was at this age that Maya decided that maybe a boyfriend wouldn’t be so bad. She decided that if she got one, the other boys would be jealous of him, and once she broke up with him, they’d all scramble to win her over. She tried it out a few times and realized that it worked. While she was dating, she’d convince her boyfriend to buy her lots of meaningless things just to see if she could get him to buy them. Once she broke up with one boyfriend, she was seen with a new one the very next day. She didn’t care if she broke anyone’s heart, all she craved with the commitment that the boys showed to her, and the jealous looks the girls gave her in the hallways.
When she turned 16 she threw the biggest parties. She drove a hot pink sports car that was a gift to her from her father. She was always wearing the latest and most expensive trends which made her friends jealous and envious of her. As the year went on Maya dressed less and less modest, and as a result of this, her friends started to do so as well, because they wanted to be like her. She began to become very promiscuous with a lot of the boys. In other words, she was getting down and dirty with some of the boys at her school. But just for fun, while they were in her bedroom doing who knows what, she would take the boys wallet and hide the cash in it. When her partner left, she’d pocket the change. She didn’t really have a reason for doing this, her parents bought her anything and everything she wanted. She did it because she loved the power.
When she turned 17 one of her friends introduced her to pick pocketing. She found it very easy to do to boys in school. All she would have to do was start touching a boy like she wanted him, grab his leg for his wallet, and let her reputation make the boy think that she was really into him while she stroke his leg taking out his wallet. It was so easy for her she did it all the time. People started calling her a tease in school which made her very angry at them. They had a grand idea and decided to take it one step further.
Maya and her friends got a few shady guys to help them, and together they would go to any store where they would look for prey. How it would was that one of the boys would go inside and stand at the pay counters. When someone would use a debit or credit card to pay he would casually pull out a note card and write the pin number on it. Once the customer put the card away he would slip his note pad into his corresponding pocket, signaling one of Maya’s friends which pocket to pick. Maya would pose as an innocent, clumsy, dainty girl and accidently bump into their target. As she did this, she would get the card (or the entire wallet if need be) out of the person pocket. She would then hand it off behind the person to her friend who would quickly take the card and go. Sometimes, if they were feeling nice, her friend would hand back the wallet after she had taken the card and Maya would reinsert it back into its original position on the customer.
They continued to do their shanagins until one day, they were caught. Maya managed to get away, all her helpers however, were not so lucky. All her friends were sent to juvi. In school, everyone knew that she was the mastermind behind the whole things and always gave her suspicious glances and the whole school was filled with gossip about her. Even the teachers talked about it.
At age 18 her parents died. They were both murdered while away on separate business trips. All their money was stolen, and there was nothing left for Maya. She went to live with her grandparents. They both disapproved of the way she dressed but whenever they tried to make her change, she would always cry and say that they hated her and that her parents had let her, so why won’t they? She found that, during her senior year, she was able to get even more attention from the school because of the death of her parents.
Once she graduated she did not go to college. Instead they went to work as a waiter. Her job only lasted for a couple of weeks before she got fired for wearing “inappropriate clothing”. She didn’t care, she got the biggest tips out of all the other employees. She continued the cycle of jobs until she turned 21.
Once she turned 21 she decided to try and find a place to work where her “talents” would be appreciated. She found a job as a bartender serving drinks. She noticed how much easier it was to get money from drunk men than it was sober ones. She found this fact to be quite advantageous for herself. While she was at the bar serving drinks, flirting with men, and showing too much skin, she would practice scams on people. She’d go online in her free time to learn about the art of misdirection, scamming and sleight of hand.
She soon decided to work in a livelier place with younger people and got hired at a club. From there she moved on to pole dancing. She wouldn’t strip on stage, only dance seductively. She spent her evenings partying and dancing and her morning were spent by practicing and research. She had managed to work up the skill to pick simple locks using only 1 or 2 bobby pins. She realized that, although her skills on the pole were very good and they attracted the interests of many people, she felt as if her skills were not being trained enough. She decided to move up to a strip club.
She started out with lab dancing. Needless to say she stole a lot of money off of her customers, in addition to tips and pay. She was offered jobs within the club at a higher pay, but she refused. Mainly because they would take her out of the crowed where she liked to work.
Her current life is as such, she does drugs and parties at night. She uses her natural beauty and charm to seduce people so that they can easily pickpocket them. She practices lock picking and sleight of hand. She wears immodest clothing which she uses to expose her body, she uses this as misdirection to keep people from looking at her hands. She has never seen her old friends that she got into trouble with years ago. She is not content with her life. Something is missing. But she doesn’t know what.
