I don't like physical gum :U I'm not even chewing gum.

Name: Kharana Zephronic, AKA Khran, AKA 'Mercer'
Disclaimer: The name is stolen as feck, and even without any permission whatsoever. But it's so badass I can't resist. Name belongs to Khran.

Bio:

Spoiler: spoilerty spoilerty spoiler (click to show/hide)

So, who the heck is Khran?

To one guy he says that he is a king of a distant land, known as the Middle Ground. To the other guy, he says that he is a warrior in training, traveling to seek for potential opponents. To the third guy he says that he is a boss of a certain alien company. To the fourth guy he says that he is a chosen one, selected to fix the corruption in the universe. How much of that is true is left for people to figure out, and his real past is a mystery for all. Maybe even for him. Who the heck knows.

Either way, people just refer to him as "that random dude". And they are right - if anything, Khran is all kinds of random. Nobody can tell for sure what's his deal. Even he can't always tell what's his deal. He just pops here and there, fulfilling whatever thought comes first to his mind(usually it's rather silly), trying to look funny and usually failing to do so.

Bear in mind though, that while this guy is all fun and jokes, it's only for when he is in the good mood. Usually, that is whenever, and there isn't a thing that can get him angry instantly, but if the day keeps to be bad continiously, he can get just a wee tiny bit mad. And when he is wee tiny bit mad, you probably want to avoid him. As he is an unstoppable ball of fury in this state, raining devastation at simply anything that stands in his way, enemies or otherwise. Rumour is that only the patented Cooldown Hug from his sister can stop him from his rampage quickly and reliably, but since she isn't anywhere around... yeah guys, you're fucked.

Hobbies: drinking a whole lot of vodka and having no idea what the heck is he doing.

Care to post an example of roleplaying format? A short act when somebody, say, blasts in the room, does some actions that require rolling, fail there, succeed here, and get out. And this is considering that players can't read GM's mind and do not explicitly know what is considered asskicking, what is not, and what is a free action. This is so I don't act ubersilly.

Final one. Is the "bubblegum" stat virtual or not? As in, do we actually carry actual sticks of actual bubblegum in our actual pockets, or this is just a "creatively named" meter of how pissed off we are?

If I am out of bubblegum and suddenly a CLOSED DOOR blocks my path, can I atleast cheat out and shout "GUYS HELP IGOR DOOR CONFUSES IGOR" and hope for a less crazy teammate come and open the door?

That makes me think of a strategy where one of the players purposely wastes bubblegum left and right and transform into a machine of fury, while all the other players run behind and help him with the "strange gizmos of the world".

My, my, someone posted a character sheet earlier than me. Time to accelerate.

What I'm kind of interested in is if GM himself is still around. It's quite obvious that there is interest in this PBF but without a GM it's kind of useless... unless somebody of you want to suddenly take his role.

Also, can a character have two native languages? One that is rarely used in the world, and the other is the prime language of Seattle(or wherever will we be)? I kind of want my character to be born in some Far Lands or something, yet rolling dice every day just to speak seems ridiculous. Plus, by all logic, living in the english-speaking country for god knows how many years should have brought his language skills up to near-native levels, right?

I'm still here, somewhere, in the shadows...

I think we can be fine with just two players, but if we can't, it's not like I can't wait some more time. Heck I'm still not even halfway through the book! I'm sure a true Lazyness Incarnate, huh. I can try to accelerate if needed, though.

Either way, I just wanna know that I'm still around too.

I am probably going to be a pure battle mage, since I do not picture hackers as direct fighters much, I would be the main muscle - the guy who's job is to break in, torch everything with a fireball or whatever, and quietly whistle away. That might change though as I still do not completely understand the magic yet. Still reading the core book. God that thing is hefty.

Oh dang it. Can't be a proper majyck man with lots of cyberware in my body. That ruins a character idea I had... well whatever. We will see.

It can be displayed this way, but what I'm actually asking if it NEEDS to be displayed this way, or other possibilities exist.

It could be fun to have an equalist character who is also a Technomancer... a guy who is basically a living disgrace to his own ideals.

In either way, a couple of questions from my side.

1) Body augmentations or whatever(implants and such). How common are they? How costful are they? How much of that stuff I can stick inside myself without getting "Terminator" nickname or something and/or without going above my slightly-higher-than-average budget?

2) Ways to read books without help of Matrix the Almighty. Should I pull out a E-book all of a sudden and start reading it, will everyone around laugh at me saying "look at that old man" or something? I'm not even talking about paper vatiants...

A character which is merely a ghost in the matrix is not very fun to roleplay with!

As far as I know, Technomancers are quite rare and quite mysterious guys with quite nifty and quite unobtainable powers(in particular, being able to interact with the Matrix with nothing but thought). You could try reaching theese heights - it sounds impossible enough for normal man to achieve, and powerful enough to struggle for.

But of course, that's just me.

Also, if you have to just die while on-line to become a matrix ghost, isn't the matrix damn full of them?

And he'll definitely shun magic, if it is at all possible to survive in this world like that.

. . . . .
My character is SOO going to be a majycks user. Although that would kinda bring up a question how the hell would yours agree to work in one team with me, but okay, whatever.
