Haha. Whateveeeeeer. It's my stage-name. Besides, I'm not a man either. This is merely a digital and textual interpretation of my will. ::dissipates into cyberspace::

You forgot to put tampons +2 on your shopping list.

Unless of course, the clothing provides some sort of advantage, then you have to purchase. But if you're just buying clothes in order to not be naked, then just assume cosmetics.

Hahaha. My plan has been foiled.

Kieran, everything but the rope (unless you want one for yourself) and the Healer's Kit you have to buy. But if you want an extra, go ahead and buy it. And don't bother with clothing. Just take that stuff for frizzle. Spend the gold on something better, like a prostitute.

I just received a PM from nightflier and he has to unfortunately bow out. I do have another potential Eradani which I think I'll throw on, but he has another character written up that is a tech-junkie. He seems like a nice guy as well. Any opinions?

Ah, yes. I think Mathesar copied and pasted what I wrote, so I spelled your name wrong. :-s

That would certainly be fine, but the CSA specifically has you on as a representative and adviser, not to mention you're a powerful atmatic "artist". They would not have you on the ship to necessarily convert anyone, but you certainly are capable of providing counsel to those that would need it and you're also one of the captain's advisers. I guess what I'm saying is, the CSA does not use you as a strong-arm of any particular religion, but they have you on board because of what you represent. By your organization specifically, you are charged with the protection of this realm (the Void) and guidance of the souls within it. :) Does this religion have anything to do with Xenogenesism? Or is it a culturally preserved older religion?

10% of cost for Firearms AND ammo. Also, to answer your question Raal, it depends on the gun itself. I'll break the ammo down into 4 categories:

Reeds Reeds, a.k.a. straws, tubes, and smalls, are used for small ammunition, such as pistols. Reeds hold typically 8 shots and cost 20g (modified price).

Slates Slates, a.k.a. longs or darts, are larger ammunition clips that are used typically in rifles. The bullets are longer too. Common slates hold 6 shots and cost 20g.

Spread (Contra style ;)) Spread ammo, a.k.a. urns and shells, are used for firearms that spread ammo, such as a shotgun of some sort. Capacity depends on the gun but one Urn cost 10g.

Special Special ammunition is variable and is most likely unique to a particular firearm.

Hope this helps! I found a cool picture of what I kind of am imagining what the firearms look like. If you just google images "fantasy hand cannon" there are three pistols right in the beginning that I'm kind of digging. Just a reference for you guys!

Actually, I found this just now. This has a pretty accurate indication of what I'm imagining. Definitely not EXACTLY but pretty damn close.

Adelene Firearms

And here's a link to the Firearms webpage. All the prices, just move over a decimal place to the left.

Furrerms

We have 1000G, which I believe that is the starting gold for 2nd lvl. Also, all firearms are at 10% OF the cost listed. So just move the decimal place to the left and drop the tenths place. Hurray! See, the CSA takes care of its own people.

Healing kits are another example of something I'd give you. Thieve's tools as well. Masterwork of course, this is the friggin' CSA!

I don't want to disclose too much. Must maintain the veil! But stuff certainly similar. The CSA will give you guys stuff like rope, and items similar to wands (they function the exact same way though). But again, you can spend your money on whatever you'd like.

Also, Rhaelians take the half-elf life-span. Sorry, should have mentioned that earlier. I thought I did but I can't find it anywhere so I probably didn't. Drinking whiskey and PMing you guys about backstories! Yaaaay.

Don't we have a Paladin in the group?

:-p

F*%!...

Why you little..... ::steam::

Not only do you develop an ulcer, you bump your head on a valence and then walk by a room where Fantasy by Mariah Carey is playing, but you pass your Will save and resist getting it stuck in your head for all of time.

SUSPEND DISBELIEF YOU ASS-CHERRY! ::throws shoe at face::

Also! If you guys don't mind, just leave your alignment blank and just keep it in your head for when it comes to rules. Otherwise, I'd prefer if the players were unaware of each other's alignments. Hope I'm not micro-managing!

Hey guys. Feel free to spend your gold mostly on stuff you'll personally want or use. A lot of that utility stuff with be provided by the CSA. But hey, if you want extra of it, by all means, you can spend your gold on it.

Is there anything about your backstories that need clarification? I think I'll PM you guys tweaked ones just so it fits the universe but the ones I have are not out of this universe really (I really like them! Gives me good s&$* to work with). I think everyone has one except Kieran, H1 (we kind of have a good idea about yours), and then nightflier, but again, his can be later. This week is going to be a bit busy but no worries. The more school work I do the better I'll be at GMing this game. Haha. I'm hoping tomorrow or Odin's day (Wednesday) we can begin with the prelude (pre-launch). Thursday at the latest. So if you guys want to merge backstories or something let me know! Theeeeeenks.

GM Gorgeous? Conceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeded.

Don't make me roll initiative.

Hey guys! Sorry about the delay. I worked all day and then chilled with a buddy right after so I didn't see any of this until now. The elected specialist for the expedition team are:

Harbinger One, Commander and the captain's number-one.
Kieran Crane, Counselor, theologian, and xenobiologist. Advisor of the captain. Also is considered a cultural representative of Rhaelians.
Mathesar Leezma, First-Contact specialist and master linguist. Has an ingenious interpretation of communication.
Erest (or Thak on this current thread), cultural representative of the Kajiiatans and a capable protector. He's an esteemed figure in Kajiiatan society.
nightflier (not game name), I cannot disclose inorder to maintain the veil.
Raal, a war hero of the Kajiiatans and protector of the expedition team. A true "against all odds" kind of solider.

I really appreciate your guys' enthusiasm for this game and I of course will call on you if a replacement is needed or even for cameos. I have no objections to that. Maybe adjust your characters to be specialized (not that they aren't, but I'm just saying) so that you can truly excel on missions where we require a specialist. Even consider roles just on the Avanestra (but not part of the expedition team). There are other ways to make xp, such as completing research projects (which can involve a number of subjects [medical, weapons, engines, ships, etc.]). Think about that.

Thank you again guys and please feel free to follow the story. You can even PM me questions about the world as it develops or if you're wondering about a concept. OR! if you have ideas for quests, which you will be given credit of course, as I'm certainly interested in what your imaginations are like about other worlds (it's really the whole point of this game). Those that are interested in quest contributions, you can PM me questions about the world; I have plenty of other information. I cranked out some pages for about a week straight and sacrificed lots of school work, haha. But I think using your imagination and creativity is equally educational. So I have no regrets. Talk to you soon, star-seekers.

Yours,
King Ghidorah

Welcome aboard, star-seekers! You are not on board the ship yet, as we will be beginning pre-launch. Feel free to discuss among yourselves and get to know each other. My Eridani, we will need to keep your backstory a secret for now until your introduction. I will put most of your posts in spoilers or PM until... FIRST-CONTACT!!! Feel free to ask any questions or if you see any significant kinks that should be brought to attention before we boogey. I do not mind if you guys converge backstories (except you, nightflier. Quite a distance to cross!). I hope you guys enjoy this universe. It's homebrewed and free-form, like that perfect cup of coffee on the porch with the smell of Fall in the air. I like my games gory, flashy, creative, and suspenseful. You will find that you have a lot of resources at your disposal to do things (hence the feats, and other presents) so I can push you to near-death situations and still have there be a chance for you to survive. So enjoy max VP! You gonna' need it. I will be honest and say I picked you guys because you seemed more down-to-earth. Your builds were a close second. So I'm sure we'll all get along and have a good time with this. I will try to post as much as I can. I should be able to stay on top of it, but I am a student and I work so there may be times where RL calls and I must respond. I don't expect you guys to posts constantly. We all have busy lives, I'm sure. But efforts to be consistent would be good, because we have a big party and one person can hold the game back. Okay, I'm done "reading the syllabus"! Haha. Glad you guys are interested. To those that don't know, my name is Marc. Nice to meet you all!

p.s. - I also know John (Kieran) from RL (good friends) so I get to f&$! with him unconditionally. It'd be really funny if I forgot to type "with".
