Guys, this baby is gonna rock!
Oh, sorry Command...
Well, If you dont feel I am hogging up a game I am still interested in playing but will bow out if someone else wants in as everyone should get a chance at playing. Still, I am good to play I just am very confused; I am good with the gm or someone making me a character as I have not located a book yet. I am much more into the roleplay action than character building so will play any niche needed; it is all good and looks like a challenge, just assign me something. I havent heard anyone mentioned they were gonna be a cyborg so that sounds cool. So if I wont be taking anyone place or hedging anyone out; grim now has my email address as I sent him my other character sheet and he can reply back with a character from here, but will understand completely if you guys want someone else. I have played combat monsters, techies of various sorts, and security officers in othe scifi games so have a bit of experience with these and am least experienced with piloting and figure you really need the book to understand that; so, any niche needed is cool.

I think a cyborg would make a good addition to the game...
You can find the d20 Modern rules here: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=d20/article/msrd
And I can send you some info on creating a first level character with the Mecha Crusade rules. Or if you wanted to roll your stats and asign ability scores I could probably put together a first level cyborg for you....
Cyborg essentials:
+0 BAB
+2 Fort
+1 Defense
d10 Hit Die
6 Action Points
Mecha Operation Feat
Mecha Weapon Proficiency Feat
Personal Firearms Feat
Special Ability: Cyberware- Add Con Mod + Level total determines your options, so let me know. The higher the number the more you qualify to get. Each cyberware peice drops your Charisma by a point.
Mothman: By the way, give your Mecha Ace the Advanced Mecha Operation Feat too.
Six characteristics? roll 4 dice; 7 sets; drop lowest right?
1) 5,4,6,3 hehe a straight
2) 4,6,6,1 a pair :)
3) 2,4,4,3 lower pair :(
4) 5,5,5,4 cool, three of a kind; sigh roll a lot of 15s with toons
5) 6,3,6,3 this is weird; like I am playing poker and the dice know it
6) 4,6,5,6 hmm
7) 4,3,5,1 guess the dice heard me; this is a terrible 4 die poker hand :)
wow statistically this is wierd; not many twos; terrible twos; whew made my save; am not gonna run the statistics on this number set.
k; build me a dude; am cool with it; heck you could have rolled yourself though; am good with that two; but I usually have some dice on me at any time; well, in my briefcase.
cool

Valegrim, did you want to assign ability scores?
Cyborgs' big abilities are probably Constitution and Strength: Con helps determine the level of cyberware they can get, and Str 'cos they're probably likely to fill the "tank" role in the party. Dex is useful too, for defense and Mech piloting skills / ranged weapons.

Oh Valegrim, might be helpful if you gave me a basic outline of character background / what sort of character you want this to be: How did he come to be a cyborg, what's he doing piloting a Mech, why did he defect from Earth to join the colonies?
Might help me assign abilities, occupation, skills etc.
K am thinking he had a damaged heart a some virulent disease set in due to combat injuries that could not be cured and the gravity on earth was getting to much for him; so as he was an ex soldier and trained for combat; his military healthcare replaced his heart and various body parts with implants; but he never adjusted well and felt quite bitter so he wandered and traveled until he ran out of money ending up in the colonies for a fresh start in life. Some of his implants began to act up so he got interested in tech and body mods and began learning and getting replacement parts and upgrades. From his service skill he got odd jobs running loaders and other heavy equipment until he was offered a position as a mech pilot; better pay; better access to tech and upgraded; a health plan and some commaradire that he only just realized he was missing. Part Man, Part machine; he has begun to value teammates to keep his mortal, human identity - his sense of self to deny being a robot, but often the machine part of him takes over during moments of stress making him cold and ruthless. Basically, this guy is a bit stressed out; random acts of beauty and kindness cause him to pause and have moments of reflection and rememberance, acts of violence and arrogance kick on his combat drugs then watch out.
I dont know the world and the system much; so let me know if this fits or not; am just winging it.
That's a cool concept. I really like it. Since your character is kindova' refugee working for the Colonies, he's probably going to have a offworld model mecha, but with more build points to play with since as a soldier in the private sector the mecha tend to be a lot more custom with some of the special abilities that are prohibitively expensive with larger government models.
Your mecha is a Silvereye with 20,000 build points to upgrade it with.
well, I am here; am just a bit lost. uhm, I dont wanna just put out my email addy as I get like a million posts already about all kinds of wierd things and who knows what some lurker might send me. During our halloween pumpkin carving thing this year on the threads; we sent our pics to Lilith and she posted them and that worked out well; hehe we did beholder pumpkins as a theme. Maybe we can do something like that again; or maybe you have a suggestion; I just dont want to post it publically.
really; I dont mind if you post it here; just cut and paste or something.
Valegrim, I've sent you an email with my idee-ers. :)
thanks so much oh mighty awesome Lilith :)
ok; I have set up a gaming email with help; email me at valgrymr@gmail.com Lilith has helped me out and we have checked it and can recieve emails there; so, am good to go.
coolness; any update on mecha crusade? I still dont have the feel for it yet; is there anything i need to know or flesh out besides a name for my cyborg?
Heya,

Thank you

Well, feel free to change any of the skills or feats or equipment. I wasnt totally sure what you had in mind in terms of what your character would be able to do!
I think Grimcleaver's idea is that the characters would spend a fair amount of time piloting their mechs in a war situation, but also should be able to function in "out of mech" type scenarios.
well, I just want to fit a niche in the game and help out and have fun; I dont have any of the source materials unless it is in one of the books I own and I dont know it; so I dont know the skill lists or anything; am good with it as is; am coming up with a name.
