Time to discuss music, mayhem and merriment! Welcome to Star Sugar Heartlove!!
Usually this is the point where I introduce myself and tell you about my GM style, but I think all of you already know that I enjoy whimsy and song, and that I like to keep a quick pace. I expect all of you to keep up a pace of two posts a day (except on major holidays like Christmas, when we'll have a short hiatus.)
So, enough about me. Why don't you tell me a bit about your characters?
What do you think of Strawberry Machine Cake?
Who are you, and what do you have to offer the party?
What have been your most memorable moments so far with Ziggy and Historia-7?
Do you have an up-to-date 'bot me' spoiler? (Subtle, aren't I?)
Will you be willing to bot other characters if I ask you to do so?
Do you promise to let me know if you get super busy for a few days so we can bot you?

What do you think of Strawberry Machine Cake?
I quite like the energy they put out. At times I wonder if they have a PCU just to run their band! Sure, it isn’t exactly traditional Vesk music, but it does get the blood flowing.
Who are you, and what do you have to offer the party?
A female vesk dressed in fatigues with a tool belt, military style pack and a wrist computer is followed by a robot with a cylindrical body. The robot is freshly painted Plasma Blue, but you can tell it has been damaged quite a bit in the past just by the amount of welded patches on its exterior.
“I’m Mikkazuki Izado. When I was doing my tour with the Veskarium, I made sure all the vehicles and support equipment was kept in top shape. We had already joined the Pact Worlds against The Swarm before I mustered out. Having done so, I decided that I wanted to see more of how the other races in the Pact Worlds did things,”
She then gestures to the robot and says “I built BOB here. It has seen some wear, but I keep it working.”
“I joined the Starfinder Society partially because of Sangoro. It seemed a logical next step, allowing me to continue protecting people while working with a wider variety of races.”
“I’m also trained as a field medic.”
What have been your most memorable moments so far with Ziggy and Historia-7?
“Hanging out with Ziggy sharing rice candy and listening to Strawberry Machine Cake while helping them set up our space in downlow.”
“As for Historia-7, it was a special request to recover some data that an independent acquired.”
“I have also done jobs for both of them that are restricted.”
Do you have an up-to-date 'bot me' spoiler? (Subtle, aren't I?)
Not yet and no. I will have an up-to-date section before we start though.
Will you be willing to bot other characters if I ask you to do so?
Yes.
Do you promise to let me know if you get super busy for a few days so we can bot you?
Yes.

Buster Blitz is a Y'soki soldier with anger management issues and an increasingly unsettling addiction to muscle enhancement chemicals.
Prefers heavier, more aggressive bands like Blunt Force Drama or Chaosgoat. While he does own a copy of Star Sugar Heart Love!; he vehemently denies actually listening to it and definitely never, ever listens to it while lifting weights. Not even occasionally.
Buster is a cunning and dangerous mercenary who is ready to do whatever it takes to get the job done. He has a knack for making improvised explosive devices out of seemingly innocuous household items but he is just as comfortable sniping enemies with his reaction cannon or mixing it it up in close quarters with his assault hammer.
Honestly, I don't think Buster's had a lot of missions with Ziggy or Historia-7 yet.
I'm okay with being botted if necessary and will try to let everyone know in advance if a busy day is coming up.
Favorite adventure that Buster has been on has probably been Half-Alive Streets, because he got to do a whole lot of what he lives to do...

What do you think of Strawberry Machine Cake?
They are SO amazing! What CAPTAIN✶CARMINE does on the drums and Minimetal on guitar... and Tsuchi-ko is just so adorable.. Ok, not so much a fan of Bone, but still they're so great together!
Who are you, and what do you have to offer the party?
(I still haven't finished my own art of Sunny yet, because I'm having trouble picking an outfit for her. But one of her sisters is on page 49 of Incident at Absalom Station. She looks to be a mix of British and Indian, but with a solar glow about her.)
I'm Simar, and there's probably only the one of me at the concert, but it's probably best to call me Sunny just in case. You look confused - I guess you haven't heard of us. My sisters and I live on a ship in the Armada around Absalom Station. We're all clones of the original Simar, but we have extra names to make things easier. That's why I'm Sunny. Well, that, and because Sarenrae is AMAZING! She gave me a blessing before my naming, and it was an 'S' year, so Sunny it was!
As to what I offer - well, I'm training to use the giant mech suits, but I'm not quite there yet. But I've got this little bit of Sarenrae's light that protects me, I'm a pretty good pilot, and a really good shot with really big guns. Oh, and I've got thousands of fans who watch my Vblogs on Simar life!
What have been your most memorable moments so far with Ziggy and Historia-7?
I only met them while going through my Commencement, but Ziggy was fun, and we both wound up getting Star Sugar Heartlove discs! And I think he might have a thing for Historia-7, but I don't think she agrees with it.

Sure
What's been your favorite SFS Adventure with this character, and why?
1-22 Protectorate Petition. Not only were there lots of Solarion-ish things going on, but she got to talk a lot with a whole new race. And recruit them to her Vlog subscription.

What do you think of Strawberry Machine Cake? "Dear viewers, I was one of the FIRST vloggers to start streaming SMC's new album during ALL of my streams, so I think you're fully aware of my love for the band! They are interstellar!"
Who are you, and what do you have to offer the party? "Why, I can hardly believe that you've not heard of me before this! I am Sebrir Feedbringer, vidcaster extraordinaire! I have been streaming the exploits of my fellow Starfinders for years now, showing how helpful the society is to the larger universe around us! If you've not seen my feed yet, well, you are surely missing out.
As for what I can contribute during a mission, why, I think you can tell that I am a master bargainer, and I am well-versed in lore about races of the non-human variety. My prowess at goading my allies into performing heroic tasks is well-known through the universe, as well."
What have been your most memorable moments so far with Ziggy and Historia-7?
"I've unfortunately only had the pleasure of interacting with Historia-7 once, but it was to bring her a copy of some very important data, which is Starfinder business and I can't discuss it further at the moment. Ziggy... I can't say I'm familiar with the name, I'm afraid. Oh, do you mean Zigvigix?! That's right, she did ask us to use that nickname, I'm terribly sorry for the confusion. Why, we brought her a copy of SMC's new album, and also did a bit of 'dirty' work for her cleaning up a warehouse in Absalom station."

Do you promise to let me know if you get super busy for a few days so we can bot you?
Absolutely, I am very good at keeping my GMs up-to-date on my status.
What's been your favorite SFS Adventure with this character, and why?
Definitely Live Exploration Extreme! It really allowed Sebrir to focus on his vidcaster persona and talk to his viewers in an ideal environment.

♫ Na nana na nana Bat Elf! ♫
"Hello Citizen, I'm Bat Elf, and I have a Bot Me spoiler! (Okay, in my case it's a 'Bat me' spoiler.) At any rate, you can see it on my profile. It allows other players to copy and paste dice expressions so that I can be botted effortlessly. Everyone should have one of these fine tools in their bat belt!"
More seriously, you should have one because it will make posting easier for you if you have your most common attack rolls ready to be copied and pasted.
Hmm
Mikkazuki is ready.

In Character Questions
What do you think of Strawberry Machine Cake?
Cake is always good!
Strawberries are nice... you can put a lot in your mouth pouches.
Oh, the music...?! starts dancing, her little paws flitting around left and right.
Who are you, and what do you have to offer the party?
I am Sparks. A little white Ysoki, quite furry... and who wears no clothes, armor, or equipment.
I offer spells and magic!... and my nervous disposition.
What have been your most memorable moments so far with Ziggy and Historia-7?
Sparks has not really met them much (just a glimpse of Historia, but w. DM credit).
But I love Ziggy and the worms he eats and his secret love for Historia the cold (or is she?).
Out of Character Questions
Do you have an up-to-date 'bot me' spoiler? (Subtle, aren't I?)
I have one. Just need to update to lvl 3. Will do so within the next 24 hours.
Will you be willing to bot other characters if I ask you to do so?
Open to be botted and bot if people are okay with that, of course, yes.
Do you promise to let me know if you get super busy for a few days so we can bot you?
Yes. I normally can post several times a day. And I warn if I travel or feel I might have Internet problems.
What's been your favorite SFS Adventure with this character, and why?
I'm playing one tonight, but I liked the 1-22 the most (won't spoil why) but it's a LOT of fun!

I love that Fitch is your mother! (Sort of.) You look just like her!
You probably should reconsider the whole no armor thing. Armor is awesome, especially the sort of armor with upgrade slots.
(Also, it is always good to have at least one backup weapon for when spells fail you, or you run out.)

What do you think of Strawberry Machine Cake?
Sure, I've heard of 'em! They're them little pastries what come outta the venders on deck C at the Absalom Supermall, right? Ah, no you meant the musician! Well, they're pretty good. I tend to prefer Akitonian Bluegrass though.
Who are you, and what do you have to offer the party?
You can call me Chikasa, or Chik-Chik if I decide you're not dim as a trencher morning under a dust cloud! I know a few things about tech and about magic. I'm also not bad with a computer or just about any other kinda machine you put me in front of. I also can hit a sandrat coming out of his hole at a hundred yards if I remember to clean my spectacles.
What have been your most memorable moments so far with Ziggy and Historia-7?
Oh I've met both o' them! Good folk! That Zigvigix is an enthusiastic one for sure. Why, I rememeber runnin' into him in the Lorespire Complex one evenin' and him bouncin' around so fast, talkin' to all the new recruits, he nearly put one of them augmented arms of his through a wall!
Historia-7, well now she's got a totally different cut to her jib, yessiree! She's got a way to tell a briefing that'll make ya think you're gonna fill in the Gap with the knowledge you're bringin' home. Really makes ya feel like you're part o' something.
(Chikasa hasn't actually interacted with either of these two in a scenario he's played in, so this is purely RP).
Do you have an up-to-date 'bot me' spoiler? (Subtle, aren't I?)
I need to update mine once I get Chikasa updated to level 3.
Will you be willing to bot other characters if I ask you to do so?
Beardy Bot stands at the ready!
Do you promise to let me know if you get super busy for a few days so we can bot you?
Will do! As a start, I tend to be pretty busy over the weekends, and my schedule may get a little full the week around Christmas, but I should still be able to put in at least one post a day during that time.
What's been your favorite SFS Adventure with this character, and why?
Chikasa is mostly a GM-baby and has only actually played in two scenarios. Of the two, my favorite for him was 1-03 Yesteryear's Truth, because he had some opportunities to interact with some totally unfamiliar technology and give his opinion on just how beat up most of it seemed.

@Hmm
I love that Fitch is your mother! (Sort of.) You look just like her!
My computer's IA has Fitch's voice (so that my Wayfinder faction leader and my family matriarch accompanies me everywhere and I never feel alone!)
You probably should reconsider the whole no armor thing. Armor is awesome, especially the sort of armor with upgrade slots.
I'll see, but I wanted to try the RP concept of a character with no clothes, armor, equipment, weapons (just the 1 Bulk I can carry in my mouth, and my computer slotted in a datajack - with all the spell chips, and IA, and data add ons etc.).
I think it'll work, but if it does not I'll have her give in and get dressed.
(Also, it is always good to have at least one backup weapon for when spells fail you, or you run out.)
I'll see about that too... she has both the Mystic and the Technomancer cantrips so she has Energy and Kinetic attacks (and Harmful Spells works on both lists).
Again, if it does not work I'll change, but it should be okay (I hope).

Correction for above:
Initial Fame: 17 (seventeen) ; the 18 is for Wayfinder rep'
And:
I updated all my info' in my sheet
My "Bot the Yoski" is at the bottom (for my dice rolls to attack & space combat)
It is a nightmare of a sheet, but I normally put URLs for all the Mystic & Technomancer spells, and all my Spell Chips, and there's a link to a Google Sheet for my Equipement Purchase list, and, more importantly, the specs of all the critters I can summon...
Voilà, should be all up to date and ready to go!

Alright! Chikasa is all freed up from his prior mission. I just need to finish leveling him up to 3 and making purchases, and he'll be ready for the show!
In other words:
One for the credits,
Plus two Int for the show,
Level three to get ready,
Now let's go go go!
We're gonna rock around the Station tonight,
We're gonna rock rock rock in the neon lights,
We're gonna rock gonna rock
Around the Diaspora tonight!

Do you have a favorite SMC performer?
First of all, those bios and the art have got me so excited for this scenario! Sometimes I really just love the detail that goes into this game!
As for a favorite performer, Chikasa would definitely admire Minimetal the most. Between the small size, the pompoms that remind him of mouse ears, and the guitar, she's definitely the one he relates to the most.
He'd probably avoid Tsuchi-ko like the plague, though...

She actually has four children. Three are very young adults: ages 19-23. She also has a five year old son, Kylar. (Kylar is one of those confusing names that can be either sex.)

It was both. She was only 42. None of us were expecting it.

Question, oh fellow rules experts: since radiation is a poison effect, Detect Affliction would determine whether a person suffers from radiation "sickness" (since Detect Affliction determines whether a creature or object has been poisoned), but not detect radiation per se (which would be the lvl 1 spell)?
|
|
I agree, Detect Affliction would allow someone to know the target were suffering from Radiation Sickness.
Detecting it in the environment using magic requires Detect Radiation.
I do not know what means we could use with technology to detect it. There were some things added in Armory that would certainly do it, but I don’t own those items on this character.
Should we just take a break until December 26th?
