PhoenixFlame Presents: Eclipse Phase

[Aerozord]

well, mine totals 45

[PhoenixFlame]

You're supposed to calculate that in your skills list then, Aerozord.

[Aerozord]

oh, wasn't sure if we were, ok I'll edit it. and if you'd be so kind, not sure what your critiques were about mine

editted it in, turns out accidently had interfacing at 100, max is 98 right? changed it to that.

umm am I overkilling my stats? most of them are over 50, should I spread points around more?

I... don't really know.

Whatever, I fixed it. And put some points in Freefall.

[Overcast]

I noticed that myself when I made my character, if I had the points I would have definitely put some more into both freefall and freerunning. Can't fix number two so I tried to help out number one by adding on micro grav boots and hoping that his relatively high reflex could make defaulting to it workable.

If I am still too terrible at it I'll start up the distribution but damn is it gonna hurt.

wrote a bio for gigglesHenric was one of the older AIs, been around before the fall and managed to survive the paranoia of his kind. Eventually escaping the confines of his virtual world for the first time about two decades ago. Quickly he learned that even as he was there was much social stigma against him. But there was some personality to him, a human like passion and drive. He did not intend to show AIs weren't a threat, after all any sentient being was, but that they had their place. That not all of them were genocidal psychos. Thus he poured himself into his work. Doing as he was intended, designing, programing, building, repairing, showing his skills and value to sentient life. In an attempt to fit in further, he even took a new organic morph, a neotenic for its efficiency and ability to get into small areas to work. Unfortunarely he lacked the social savvy to realize this morph had its own social stigma, instead just attributing it to AI prejudice.

Still to some degree it worked. Earning a reputation in the scientific community for his talents he was allowed more autonomy. That all being said he isn't as clean cut as he appears and knows that sometimes he has to get his hands dirty. Its how he has some infamey with the megacorperations and underworld as well. Not to mention people really hold a grude when you hack into a slave ship, download all the AIs, and crash the remains into a small moon. The fact he did it more then once might have something to do with it.

probably add more to it when I can figure out how best to explain his intigration with the group

Here I was hoping we'd be in an O'Neill Cylinder, Cole Bubble, Hamilton Cylinder, or Torus with near earth gravity.

Oh wells.

Clusters looked interesting too, but I'll definitely need to do some adjustments for more free fall then.

You can only get up to 80 in a skill before calculating in Morph bonuses.

You're a neotenic but I'm not sure what bonuses you have/implants etc. So I can't tell you if you can even have 98

Edit: Reduced Psi skills (a lot) and deception (slightly). Buffed the crap outta free fall.

[Aerozord]

just morphs? its actually +30 from my background that got it so high.

Slave ship? Why a ship? Slaves are information, just farcast them. I'm sure a lot of people'd be much more concerned with the fact that you crashed the ship into an inhabited moon.

'Cause moons are pretty high in demand these days.

AGI who fling helpless civilians into other helpless civilians aren't looked on highly anymore.

thats an excellent point, so used to the illogic of sci-fi settings. How about just hacking a server and crashing it in a more metaphoric sense
