J. Young 31133@http://gamingoutpost.com/discussions/ <p>Edgar, if that's your equipment list, then it seems that you must have been sitting naked at your computer. You did not give me the clothes you are wearing.</p> <p>Let's take a step back. The rules say you start with everything you are currently wearing, and I expect you to list it in detail. You don't have to give me all the detail, but any detail you omit you cannot later claim--e.g., if you want a piece of plastic and your sheet says you have a credit card, you've got the credit card. If someone asks to see your "visa" when you're entering a country and you want to pull out the credit card that says "Visa" and try to pass it off as a visa, it has to say that you have a Visa.</p> <p>Once you've covered everything you are currently wearing, you add up to two hundred pounds, within the rules given at the beginning of this thread. I can repeat them in necessary, but the short version is it all has to be your own stuff not connected to anything.</p> <p>--M. J.

Its not one fighting style its differnt ones mixed together with some of my own styles.</p> <p>My gear is a average sized backpack with paper,pens,pencels and cards like yugioh cards and on me I have a harmonica and a gamboy advanceSP with pokemon fire red and mario advanve,tetris,monster inc. and shrek for gamboy cooler. I also have a small green book bag with more cards in it I also have a wallet with chain and my I.D. and a broken broom for a staff. </p> http://gamingoutpost.com/discussions/topic/the-character-generation-thread/page/7#post-30976 Tue, 09 Nov 2010 22:39:42 +0000 M. J. Young 30976@http://gamingoutpost.com/discussions/ <p>Good to have you, Edgar. I'm particularly pleased to see Katerina, who for those who haven't made the Campbell connection is Ahmetia's sister. Kat, on the forum I identify players in their game threads by their full given name--Katerina, in your case--largely to avoid a situation in which someone attempts to foist upon me an inappropriate nickname. But I'm launching your game thread <em><a href='http://gamingoutpost.com/discussions/topic/katarinas-story-so-far/'>Katerina's Story So Far</a></em>, and hope you'll give us some background there of what happened to get you that far.</p> <p>Edgar, I'm good with Brock's assessment that you have a 2@1 Intuition. The question was raised but I didn't see whether you answered whether you have yet received a GED, which would mean that you finished the equivalent of high school. It's unusual for someone to feel that they have no professional skills and no other skills in the categories I ask, but it happens.</p> <p>Everyone wants you to talk with me about your fighting technique. Do you feel that you've developed something akin to a fighting style that enhances your ability to fight? If so tell me about it.</p> <p>If not, then give me your equipment list.</p> <p>--M. J.

(said by Brock with a smile), dumb*** (said by Brock without a smile...OK sometimes with one)</p> <p>Intuition: Pretty high.

I have no doubt in my mind that there is a divergent version of me who is, at this time, writing a book called (Doing Therapy). He's about to become rich and famous. Sadly this is not me. (Writer's block, that's why I haven't replied to Mike's game very often lately) I also have no doubt that there is another divergent version of me, who is, at this very moment, taking out a patent on a new kind of smoking pipe, and he's about to become a millionaire. Sadly, this is not me either. Those are divergent paths my life could be taking at this stage of my existence. </p> <p>(Doing Therapy) </p> http://gamingoutpost.com/discussions/topic/getting-to-know-you-ancestry#post-22583 Sun, 05 Sep 2010 16:00:30 +0000 Nikolaj 22583@http://gamingoutpost.com/discussions/ <p>It seems part of my family seemed always to live in and around Mechelen (Mechelin in English), where I am also living right now.

Blonde, Blue Eyes, 6 feet tall, started getting influenced by the bad members of the vampire larp I used to run in, haven't seen or talked to him since 2004 after he fell into a bad crowd.</p> <p>Brian Egandorf: Met him at the Vampire Larp, we are friends to this day. Black Hair, Curly, Balding, Brown Eyes, 5'10" good guy, has money issues always, but a loyal friend. He ended up getting me a job at Panasonic, which started or restarted my IT Career. </p> <p>Todd Miele: Met him at the Vampire Larp, was one of the GM's popular guy everyone liked him, he has some back problems. When his mother retired, kept him from going out, Brian and I think she killed him for his money (he got ran over three times by the same car and same guy). Good guy miss him. Brown Hair, about a decade older than me, 5'5 or so. </p> <p>In terms of woman, other than random girls who I would forget about I could, and the 4 or 5 I would have nothing to do with again. There is one that I date casually and if things would have been different probably would have gotten more serious. </p> <p>Latishia Coleman, Caucasion, 5'3" Red Hair, Green Eyes, average built a year behind me in school, went to a sister school of my catholic high school. We are still kinda seeing each other today, been a decade of on and off. </p> <p>I think that's in in terms of info.</p> <p>In terms of popularity, I had/have the ability to turn on the charm when needed, but I rarely did because I didn't like what I looked like. The better I look, the better I feel, and less I give a damn about what people think. So I am normally a lone wolf or would choose not to care, ymmv. </p> http://gamingoutpost.com/discussions/topic/getting-to-know-you-names-and-family#post-22360 Tue, 31 Aug 2010 14:50:38 +0000 Jhiaxus 22360@http://gamingoutpost.com/discussions/ <p>I hard a hard day of work so with it slowing down and relaxing I figured I would finally answer this thread, since my story really hasn't advanced far since asking for this.</p> <p>As for possible names, David was one, but I think between my mother's miscarriage of a brother, and her best friend choosing it for a name if her child, it didn't happen.</p> <p>As far as I know, my mother was the first person in NJ, to win no visitation, a complete name change of the child in court. My full name is on my character sheet in other parts of the forum, and it's my mother's maiden name. I'm happy, my father's last name is very Lithuanian and happy to keep my Irish last name. I have nothing to do with my father, never met him, talked with him on the phone a few times and met his father, likely never will (by my choice).</p> <p>No siblings, but the miscarriage above described. I don't know if it was certain it was going to be a male or not, I do know it would have been an older sibling of 2 years.</p> <p>I am not married, nor have I really been close. Although I am not picky about a gf, I am picky about someone who is more than that. </p> <p>I am an only child or an only child, so no brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, neices, nephews. I have second cousins, but they are as old or older my mother was.</p> <p>Cancer runs in the family, but also heavy, heavy smoking, and drinking did as well (Mother's Side), Father's side, men live into the 90's. I don't smoke at all, rarely drink. </p> <p>I think that's the relevant information. </p> http://gamingoutpost.com/discussions/topic/the-character-generation-thread/page/7#post-17341 Wed, 10 Mar 2010 19:53:04 +0000 M.

My character has 2@1 boxing. <em>I</em> don't. Eli really has the martial arts talent. If my character fought his character, and my character won, I'd kind of feel bad about that.

Unless there's a particular move or two that you really like and want to have specialized or something. Or is that what you're doing?
