So does this mean I shouldn't make a Lost character since mr. Krylo sneakily stole it!

Krylo · 05-20-2010, 09:03 PM

I was working on it before Aero ever made a post in this thread.

You, sir, are the thief.

And what if I am?

Blah I only e-mailed myself my Lost one from work gah, I'll have to start over it looks like.

Oi, and I have something. Re-instated. Brinker. Can't swim. Negotiator by call and quite good at beating things to a pulp with his hands when the deal goes sour. Known to Firewall and whoever he is typically sent to be pimped out to. To his dismay that is typically the Socialites. Anyway will try to put all the stats I have on my summary page to a proper character sheet when my psyche is back on track, but currently I am miles beyond dead.

Argh. I only just got around to Downloading the file, but apparently you can only download it ten times, due to your account type. It said that, if you rehost the file, the limit is reset, could you do that? Alternately, we could transfer it via AIM, but that'd involve actually getting AIM first. Or is there another location I could download it from?

I'm definetly still interested in participating in this, though.

I am very interested in this, and looking at making an AGI Swarmanoid or Arachnoid hacker. Probably Arachnoid.

Arhra · 05-21-2010, 08:54 AM

I must confess, I am considering "Look Ma, no hands!" as an option.

Although a pure infomorph might be tricky to do depending on the kind of plot we end up in.

Overcast: Yay! I like it. Face-guys are hard to come by.

Geminex: What? Are you insinuating I don't have violet-level clearance? Alright, hang on, I'll clean up this mess soon.

Rapter: Hackers we have (Krylo), but there's always room for more. I might warn you that you could get easily overshadowed unless you grab some other schtick on the way, though.

Arhra: Teleoperate. EVERYTHING.

IMPORTANT EDIT: A note on sidearms. You might have noticed the Railguns > Missiles > Caseless > Lasers, and that Rail sniper rifles are [EXPENSIVE] fully-automatic recoilless doom machines capable of cutting small space stations in half. Guess what happens if you carry one of these on a small space station that the vast majority of humanity lives on, or, God forbid, attempt to use it?

Let's be clear on something. There is no reason for you to own a Rail Sniper Rifle.

Unless you're like going to Earth. ((Long story short, it if isn't a laser, a plasmaburst warhead, or low-yield caseless weapon, I will realistically determine the effects on the enviroment.))

Aerozord · 05-21-2010, 03:37 PM

just a random question I thought of while reading this over, since humans have effective immortality and body is more like a temporary place to store your soul to interact with the world, are humans even populating anymore? If so, how? Some data splicing? Because the setting tells me that whole gross fluid exchange business is considered old fashioned

also, we using a dice roller?

PhoenixFlame · 05-21-2010, 03:43 PM

No/Sort of. This is mentioned several times in the book, most notably the Futura project, and the information on forking and cloning. Bioconservatives still reproduce the old fashioned way most likely, but it's not likely to be very common. That's why things are so bleak, in a nutshell.

Yes, there will be dice. I haven't quite decided how yet, but Krylo suggests a "Random.org" place.

Edit: Soul? What's that?
