Welcome to Gaia! ::

ok, you drove me to it. i'm bored and my subforum isn't bought yet, so blah.

you don't get to know the setting for this yet. just vote in the poll for a time period and i'll be able to narrow stuff down conserning personal gear and skills. in the mean time, just have an idea of your charas personality and backround.

i need 3 to 5 charas to start and we can add more later. you all start on a boat, a standard passenger/cargo boat, your origin and destination are unimportant except for personal reasons. it's a mixed crew of various seafarers heading vaguely west from australia. no, you do not need stats for the boat.

because i don't know time period yet and the book doesn't have the genre i'll be working with i'll make up my own list of stats costs and possible attributes that may change once we have a better idea of what we're doing.

you have 20 points to play with.

you may NOT have:
Flunkies
Magic
Mechas
or anything else a normal human you might meet on the street wouldn't have.
skills you can't have would be;
computers
driving
and piloting
defects not allowed are:
girl/guy magnet
nemesis
owned by a megacorp
red tape
or wanted.

heighted awareness, personal gear and mechanical genius are limited to level 1

all characters are required to take the Marked defect level 1, though it will not take effect while you are on the boat. you'll get more details once i release the setting to you.

acrobatics 3
animal training 4
architechture 2

did you not read the first line? you don't get to know the setting. that IS the setting. most likely early 20th century earth on a boat in the middle of the indian ocean. that's your setting. beleive me, i have a reson for being secretive, and it's not for a lack of ideas.
