I nearly went with the dragon idea, so I get that completely. plus .. playing a freaking dragon! :D But like I said earlier, I almost always play a magic use of some kind so I went with a mundane OCC. And somehow I still ended up with psionics.
juicers are a lot of fun. I have played several. Auto-Dodge is not to be discounted. A dogboy I have never played nor seen played, but it might allow for some interesting party dynamics with the ex-CS officer.
Sorry .. I am filling out the profile for Trace. I will get a post up today.

Background and descriptions to follow. Here is the character sheet thus far: Link
@Rizzen - To make things simple, I am going to modify my backstory. My guy has only recently deserted from the CS. So all his gear will remain CS standard. One of his most pressing goals will be to trade for, buy, or steal non-CS gear. I am supposed to select one "conventional military vehicle". But the options are either all CS vehicles, or non-military stuff. What do you think is appropriate? For CS equipment, SAMAS or Sky Cycle seems to fit, otherwise we can just make it a CS-issue version of the Mountaneer or Big-Boss? I am downselecting psionics now, and have most of the rest finished. I will make the profile and link to the character sheet shortly.
Melee attacks with that arm can cause more damage (since PS can be higher), and (i think) ranged and melee attacks can be more accurate if they used only that arm (since PP can be higher). Or am I understanding it wrong?
@Rizzen - CS replicas are being made and sold by Demara Industries. CEO is one Waldo Demara. They also produce several Northern Gun imitations as well as a few coveted NGR (New German Republic) models. The CS has tried to infiltrate and assassinate Waldo Demara on several occasions, but the wily bastard has avoided their snares thus far. Crowning achievement so far has been the reproduction of the CS SAMAS rail gun. Rumors also hint at a non-CS version of the SAMAS coming soon. P.S. For interesting reading, do a google search for Ferdinand Waldo Demara, one of the greatest multiple imposters in American History. He is easily on par with Frank William Abagnale.
@Rizzen - The thing about attributes of 10 is on page 239 in the middle of the left-hand column. It is in the section titled Prosthetic Weapon Limbs and under a sub heading of Attribute Levels. @Edelsmirge - I am planning on taking a mix of physical and healing for my psi powers. Not sure which direction it will lean, but there it is.
@rizzen - in addition to the question about the bionic limb, would you have any objection to me replacing the coalition equipment with non-CS versions? It makes sense to me that undercover or covert types would have access to such "substandard" equipment.

For people new to RIFTS, remember to read the descriptions of your skills. There are often hidden bonuses to other skills. (i.e. Hunting gives a Bonus to Wilderness Survival) Also, some skills require others to first be taken. (i.e. Navigation requires Basic Math)
Forgot ISP and PPE: ISP:
@Rizzen - There are some additional things to figure out for the Military Specialist. It says to choose one bionic appendage. The bionic limbs start out at 10 for all attributes associated with the limb. More attributes cost extra. What level would the CS have "approved" for the limb replacement? Would the limb come with any additional weapon systems? Basically need you to put on your CS Command hat and "assign" the resources this officer would receive. Intellgence quotient (IQ) 22
Other rolls for my CS deserter:
Psionics: , major psionic
I was looking at the coalition OCCs and I am really starting to like the idea of a deserter. A CS soldier with a conscience. I really like the SAMAS pilot, but I think he would be too high profile and would have less opportunity to be exposed to other thoughts to break the propaganda training. I think I am going to go with the military specialist. I will work on getting that written up in the next couple of days.
Okay, I am struggling with a concept. I almost always go with a magic user of some kind, so I think that I am going to retire the idea of a Ley Line Walker. At this point, I am leaning heavily toward a military type of some kind, possibly a Coalition deserter.
I have been reading about the Followers of Set quite a bit over the last few days. I think I want to try one out. I will come up with a suitable submission later today. After sleeping.
Are Followers of Set strictly Sabbat, or could one fit into this game?
Are setites strictly anti-camarilla? Or could one fit into this game?
As a long time lover of rifts, I am definitely interested!
Intellgence quotient (IQ) how smart you are
if you get a 16, 17, or 18 for a roll, roll an extra d6 as a way to showcase your exceptionalism. IQ: Wile E. Coyote. Super Genius.
Those seem a lot high. What am I missing? Anyway, I am thinking a Ley Line Walker. Unless you are open to letting me try out a baby dragon... ;)
Definitely interested. I have always like tremere the best, but if you would prefer not to have two from the same clan I can adapt pretty easily.
Welcome back, Lyn!! Good to hear from you again! I am glad things are looking to stabilize soon, and that your health is a bit more better :) I was sad to hear that your real life group collapsed under the weight of drama. My own has recently done the same, so I can relate to those feels....
I am also assembling... How is everyone doing?
Oooooh. The assault team is the one going through the chimney?
Okay so far. I can happily report that the cough and sore throat I have had for a few days is not the modern plague, so that is good...
I have already moved away from Pathfinder entirely for all but a couple of games I still play on the forums here. I got burned out on the many nuanced ways to make a character overly optimized. I have not even looked at PF2.
I haven't touched it yet...
Happy Solstice and Merry Yule to all!
I will throw my appreciation onto the we-are-all-awesome pile. I have a sad history of almost every single PbP I have participated in ending before it even really got going. This is particularly true of my 40k games. Thank you all for your awesome characters, your amazing RP, and for keeping this fire burning for so long. I very much value having this warm place to come and chase away the chill of mundane life.
@DB3 - I am doing okay. Work and kids are well, though I am on the verge of breaking up with my girldfriend. Not looking forward to that drama. How are you? @MonkeyGod - I love Spheres of Power and would love to have a chance to try it out fully. Every time I have had someone approve it, the game dies...
Yeah I noticed that last saturday. Thanks for keeping me in mind, and I will do likewise if I also lapse in judgement...
Is there any chance you all have room for another? I would like a chance to try out wrath and glory...
Heya DB3! Long time no see!
As a disabled veteran, myself, that is very awesome!
That is hard, Kryz. I have been through that, and you have my deepest sympathy. If there is anything that an internet near-stranger can do to help, don't hesitate to ask.
There was drama last fall with Roll20? How did I sleep through this?
Rolls for Character creation: Schola Progenium Sister of Battle
Reroll 25: Family's Fate: Warrior Martyr Fate points: . 3 Fate. Starting wealth: Throne Gelt Build: Svelte (1.75m/65kg) Divination: "A Suspicious mind is a Healthy mind." Increase Perception by +3. Calculating 6 months of wealth as (70+21[rank 3])*6=546 Throne Gelt I cannot find where the roll is for insanity or corruption, nor for ages for Schola Progenium characters.
Hey Sun, have you ever thought of using Roll20 for maps?
No, while some of the stuff in there is fun, the Sisters in the book are on a completely different level to the one's in the Handbook. Who are already stronger than most. Fair enough. I will get something put together tomorrow.
Can the sister of battle from the Blood of Martyrs be used rather than the more generic Adepta Sororitas from the Inquisitor's Handbook?
Would a Sister of Battle or a Hospitaler be a better fit?
Dotting in. Definitely interested in a Sister of Battle.
Sounds interesting. Any objection to a Draconic bloodline sorcerer, fallen aasimar?
I am also so lost...
Can do. I will get a character made up and ready. :)
Any problem with a tech-priest enginseer?
Hey guys .. you got room for one more?
How do you see the shared responsibility for Fires of Industry being distributed? @GoW - how large of an Astartes force should I commit to the playtest?
LOL .. both? But in all seriousness, I think the one with high industrial output would be better for me. I see it as a source of possible initiates as well as a source of war materiel. Has anyone put together a feudal world for Imperial Knights yet?
Sounds good. And yeah, @choon, a bit like drinking from a fire hose. Having some fleet-based elements as holdings makes sense. I would like to make the flagship into one of the holdings rather than just the library inside it. Perhaps the Omnis Arcanum can be a truly massive member of its class. Perhaps something between a standard battle barge and an Ark Mechanicus. Would the Aurelia sector count as one holding, or would each planet therein count as a holding? I very much like the idea of pairing up with Choon on the (remind me which one) forge world. As for ground troops, I feel like the small numbers and flexibility of Space Marines would lend itself more to the squad level composition. It means more bookkeeping for me, but I think it would much better convey the feel of a Space Marine force. Even a demi-company would not normally be composed of all one type of marine.
