Truth or Consequences: character descriptions and OOC
Because I liked this in the previous PBeM
----------------------
Flaky, a Vev I&I
Within minutes after Flaky stepped from her tank it was clear that something had gone wrong. Not in a major way - then she would have been recycled
immediately - but her skin was clearly subpar and her standard threat reaction was odd. She also reacted to zinc in the allergy test - rare in SLA
goods, but used in downtown as rust protection. Her mimicing qualities and sensory acuteness were noted though.
As her score was low, but just above the cutoff point, she was placed on hold until the week results came in: to many rejects would look bad in the
charts, but to many 'low-grades' was almost as bad.
She was then contacted by Frank 'Sharky' Malone, the floor manager, who made her an offer: he would okay her, but she would be flagged as in
need of special medication and special housing. He then rerouted these funds to his own.
Orange Crush was no big problem, although her test scores were not outstanding. She did take several related subjects though. She disliked combat
because dead people tell no tales; this to the frustration of her personal combat trainers because she really had the possibility to become a very
good melee figther. The day she finished OC, she was contacted by Cloak, who had discovered Sharky's dealings. She was given the
'choice' to have a finance chip fitted and would receive only half payment as penalty. Of course she did not receive anything that Sharky
had appropriated back - she had signed it over after all. Because she fully cooperated with the inquiry, the cloak operative allowed her to re-enter a
housing request. Being one of the last new Ops to do so, she got a lower DT room - irregular innundations guaranteed.
Flaky seldom looks like a vev (what do vev's look like?), as she always shifts into human or frother shape. She uses her disguise skill and wigs
(etc) to create all the effects her body cannot.

I think "zink" is a dutch word. 
Nice character, more people should post theirs chars like this.
"Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?"
"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to," said the Cat.
"I don’t much care where ..." said Alice.
"Then it doesn’t matter which way you go," said the Cat.
"... so long as I get somewhere," Alice added as an explanation.
"Oh, you’re sure to do that," said the Cat, "if you only walk long enough."

I think he meant Zinc, not Zink... but I could be wrong if zink is a Dutch word. Of course I don't know what it means either. 
And yes, this is an awesome character background. Your character has been noted and approved.

Here's my character sheet
Hog Boy
A little explanation. This is probably the second or third character I have made for SLA. I decided to make a character to suit my screen name on this
forum.
Here is the description of my new character: Hog Boy is a Frother wannabe. He doesn't wear the clan clothing, becouse he has gotten himself
beaten for it on more than one occasion. Hog Boy admired the Contract Killers, just like all his childhood friend in Downtown. With his friends he
imitated the combats they'd seen on TV. Soon it became apparent that Hog Boy had more talent for combat than the rest of his friends. Hog
Boy's parents encouraged their son to apply for operative training in Meny. He did quite well in the evaluations and was given a choise to
receive either Strike or Death Squad training. He chose to become a Death Squad operative, becouse it sounded WAY cooler...! After the training
period, Hog Boy was returned to Mort City and was ready to start his career as an operative. He didn't forget about the encouragement his parents
gave to him and requested to be housed in Downtown, in the same block where his parents live. Hog Boy's parents are not sick, old or truly
impoverished, but he likes to give them financial support anyway.
Hog Boy is a male human. Just in case you didn't figure it out by now

Are you sure you're free of 'advanced' carrien DNA?
Nice character BTW.
Oh, HogBoy, you've got a Physique of 9, not 8: (Str+Dex)/2 round up (page 132), so youve' got 18 hp.

Didn't notice that, thanks. I just relied on the html stuff to do those thigs for me.
I noticed another bug in the character creation program I used. I tried to make the height of my character above the average of humans, but the
program insisted that the maximum height for humans is 1,75 meters.

Gore, Stomer 313 'Malice'.
Gore is a hulking, ugly stormer, far uglier then the standard 313 version. There was an accident during the early stages of his Biogenic creation and
his DNA code was mutated slightly... not enough for him to be rejected, but enough that it is obvious to anyone looking at him that he isn't normal.
His skin is milky white colour, so white as to be almost translucent. Thick, ropey black veins criss-cross his face and body and are disturbing for
all to look at. As a result of his disfigurement, his early life and training on Meny was troubled to say the least. Only his great strength and
incredible viciousness gave him respite from bullies and trouble makers, all of which learned quickly to leave him alone. He has a terrible temper and
gains pleasure from the suffering of his enemies, and as such enrolled in interrogation courses during training. He is a loner, a violent psychopath
with no friends or family, just trying to make his way through the dark world of SLA industries.

Bane Root, doesn't Gore's FEN AR cost more that 450c?
That is not a problem for me, but Reaver banned anything above the cost of 450 with the exception of armour.
I would have chosen a different firearm if the limit would have not been in effect.

Okay, below is my character sheet. I will type up my background tomorrow.
Difference
Edit: Okay below is the background.
Background:
Difference was named for an Ebon theory on art by his mother who was a famous Ebon artist and craftswoman. His father was a corporate head of a small
but prestigous Dark Lament sponsored sub-company doing research into Science Friction equipment. Difference grew up in a world of privilage that few
in the WOP know. The Preceptor and other high ranking Necanthropes were regular guests to parties his parents held and at the age of fifteen,
Difference had the honor of meeting Mr. Slayer when his mother was given the coveted "Tidal" award for an Illumination performance she
designed and lead. To this day, that performance is still talked about.
Difference himself, showed early promise as an artist though not in Illumination, and was sent to an Ebon run art school in Orienta shortly after his
sixteenth birthday. It was there that he fell in love with an Ebon girl named Serenity. They were unseperable from then on. They decided to get
engaged shortly before they both went off to Operative training at the respected Friction Institute, a Science Friction artisian school.
Difference's parents threw them an engagement party. It was to be one of the biggest events of the year. Many to the most powerful men and
women in Mort were invited. Unfortunately, it never happened.
Difference was never told who planned the attack. It was swift and decisive though. Difference, his parents, and Serenity were being driven to the
party at a resturant in Central, when the explosion ripped through the back half the car. One second he was telling his mother about an art show he
had seen the day before and the next she was enveloped in flames. The others survied the explosion and where thrown from the car, but all were
heavily injured. The driver, who had been a loyal employee and a bodyguard of the family for many years, stepped unhurt from his cabin in the front
of the car, a FEN 603 in his hand and calmly walked up to each of them, placing the pistol to each of their heads and then pulling the trigger twice.
Father, Serenity, Difference. Each had there turn. Each was helpless to stop it. With each shoot, as Difference watched the man he had trusted
since he was a child kill those he loved most, a piece of Difference died.
Other armoured men also appeared from the neighboring buildings, taking down the other bodyguards that had travelled in leading and trailing cars.
Then the bullet entered Difference's head and the world went White. Difference doesn't remember what happened in that world of the White,
but he knows he was told to go back.
He awoke in the arms of an Ebon he had never seen before. They were still on the street where the event had happened, the bodies of his family still
strewn about the pavement. Shivers and operative's moved about the scene. Gun fire could be heard in the distance.
The Ebon looked down at Difference with a relieved look, "I was sure I would be able to save you, you are lucky a guy. I am afraid the scarring
will be permanent though, it took much of my skill to keep you alive." With that the Ebon got up and walked away. Difference never did learn
her name.
The explosion, the scaping of the pavement, and the two bullets to the head did indeed leave their marks and the once handsome young man was
permanently disfigured. The charm and wit of the young man were also disfigured that day. Difference could no longer be that person.
Difference never did go to the Friction Institute, instead he transferred to Meny enrolling in the Kick Murder program and later went on to Orange
Crush. The squad assigned to investigate the murders, disappeared a few weeks into the investigation and the BPN is still active though there
isn't a squad assigned to it. None of the attackers were captured or killed in the firefight that ensued after the attack and as far as
Difference know the tail has gone cold. His father had many enemies and rivals and any of them could have ordered the attack.
Per the specially negoiated Contract of Employment, common for high level corporates, Difference inherited his parents assets, though most were put
into a trust till he reaches a high enough SCL to run his father's company (SCL 5 or higher). His parent's apartment, house on Static,
investments, art collection, etc. all went into the trust. Difference was able to hold on to his personal items, a lump sum payment of 400C and a
monthly stipend of 100C.
Personality:
Difference is on his own more than he ever has been and it scares him. He has a hard time trusting people and is worried about future attempts on his
life. Only time will tell whether there really is a threat.
Though at times the charming, personable and innocent young man comes back, Differnence is more often blunt, sarcastic, and irratible now. He suffers
from terrible nightmares of the attack and of what his life might have been. He also gets flashbacks and suffers from migranes since the attack
further fueling his anti-social behavior.
Appearance:
Difference wears a matte gray and black Death Suit. Unlike many Death Suits, his seems to have a taunt skin covering most of it. Smooth like a fine
leather yet in some places it appears scarred with intricate designs. Upon closer inspection, the skin itself has a faint gemometric texture etched
into it, almost a like finger print yet distinctly more geometric and designed. Around joints the skin folds away, as if it was only fabric tacked in
place. Beneath, the more traditional bone and muscle mass is exposed, yet this mass looks charred and burned. His Mask is covered with the dark smooth
skin except across his face where the Mask becomes a dark gray bone carved in the image of a handsome young man. The expression on the young
man's face is blank and neutral to most, but to the more observant the mask will often subtly change to fit Difference's mood.
Over his Death Suit, Difference tends to wear expensive Dark Lament suits, the likes of which are often found on Ebon craftsmans and artists. When in
his better moods, Difference speaks and acts more like he is a member of one of the famous Ebon artist families that work for Dark Lament than a
street operative. His equipment is strewn about his person in small pockets built into the suit or hanging from straps beneath his jacket.
The Dark Lament clothing attaches itself and intergrates more with the Death Suit than is worn. He has a variety of expensive outfits and a couple
pairs of "downtown" clothes.

Added Difference to Squad skill overview
OOC info: my interpretation of Karma creatures is that they are 'programmed' to trust eachother: how else could a group of Chagrins work
together; also the quotes in the race description give me this idea. So even if Flaky poses as a human, 'she' still would trust a Malice far
more than an Ebon Witch.
About the gender of Flaky: 'she' is of course sexless, but it is well known that most people talk more easily to a woman, so that's
what 'she''s usually like (as in 95%+ of her waking moments)

So far all looks good for the characters. Waiting for Silent's background, but everyone who's posted so far can definitely join in the
game.
Gore will need to choose something other than the FEN AR as his SCL clearance does not allow that kind of hardware yet. The FEN 204 might be a good
choice. I also allow the use of items from the Hardware Catalog by Chocolate Frog.
Hog Boy, if you could edit your HTML when you get a chance and change your physique I'd appreciate it. Don't want you getting shorted in
a critical moment.
Oh, and any armor from the MRB up to PP9 Exo-Stormer will be acceptable for purchase, so no worries there.
Oh, and one more thing. Thanks to Syndrom for the overview. That was really helpful.

Oww... I tried to make a new sheet, but the result was the same. PHYS is 9 before I press the "make sheet" button, then it drops down to
8.
If someone is HTML proficient here, he/she could make the modification, send me the corrected file and I could put it where it belongs.
Otherwise I'm out of ideas...
Oh yeah, one more thing. The place where my character sheet is situated right now, isn't exactly a place for that kind of things. That domain
name is reserved for work-related purposes. So, I would be very appreciative, if someone could put my sheet in a place where it is in no-one's
way. The size of the file shouldn't be a problem here...

Thanks for noticing that Syndrom, it must be an error in the character gen. and the way it rounds for hits. I will change it later tonight.
That goes for my background as well, I have an idea what it is, I just need to type it up.

nevermind. Found it on Pandora's site.
Fen AR = 750
FEN 204 = 350
So Gore has a FEN 204 and 400 credits saved up for a FEN AR.

I'm completely forgot. You could also go with a GA Finisher if you want an affordable assault rifle. You could also get a snail drum for it and
still have cash left over for a little extra ammo.

Can we have some stat's on Misery? I don't want perfect numbers per se, but some indication - especially of the skills we are experiencing
would be nice:
- like : none, some, good, fantastic
- on charisma, persuasion, communique
- noticable edges and flaws...
Or is this Misery identical to the one on the previous PBF.
