to not bother all those other folks >.>
Dr. Lucien Ikaeda (Aug 27, 2010 4:32:17 AM)
ok
Tohunga (Aug 27, 2010 4:32:51 AM)
okay, i'm not really keen on giving you both medicine 4 and medical influence 3 at creation tbh
Tohunga (Aug 27, 2010 4:33:23 AM)
most physician's don't actually have that much influence, 2 i can see ... not 3 for now
Dr. Lucien Ikaeda (Aug 27, 2010 4:33:35 AM)
fine 2.... i wanted him to be established
Tohunga (Aug 27, 2010 4:35:24 AM)
i also want to deal with their apparant age, for them to have reached full practice ... they're unlikely to get there and be well established at 29, we might want to chuck a couple of years on there
Dr. Lucien Ikaeda (Aug 27, 2010 4:35:41 AM)
the wolves let it!
Tohunga (Aug 27, 2010 4:35:42 AM)
i have an ex whos an ER surgeon, so ... i've seen how long and torturous it is irl >.>
Dr. Lucien Ikaeda (Aug 27, 2010 4:35:51 AM)
he started young
Tohunga (Aug 27, 2010 4:36:15 AM)
you can't start too young, you still have to go through college, pre-med, then residency etc. Its a long process
Dr. Lucien Ikaeda (Aug 27, 2010 4:36:15 AM)
hence his intel 4
Dr. Lucien Ikaeda (Aug 27, 2010 4:36:29 AM)
look up harvard med school
Tohunga (Aug 27, 2010 4:36:47 AM)
i'm only talking about early 30s, 1 or 2 years extra. This is so i don't lower your influence more >.>
Dr. Lucien Ikaeda (Aug 27, 2010 4:37:15 AM)
maybe i should just transfer the real char in from that damn dead chat
Tohunga (Aug 27, 2010 4:37:33 AM)
no more transfers these days, they've been closed for the venue for a while now
Dr. Lucien Ikaeda (Aug 27, 2010 4:37:34 AM)
look the wolves gave an emt char medicine 4
Dr. Lucien Ikaeda (Aug 27, 2010 4:37:48 AM)
well i lost out with the sheet stuff
Tohunga (Aug 27, 2010 4:37:59 AM)
i'm not a werewolve st, this isn't a werewolf character :) different rules apply
Dr. Lucien Ikaeda (Aug 27, 2010 4:38:37 AM)
he also has the healing which at 2 allows him to work much like a rank 4 or 5 doc
Dr. Lucien Ikaeda (Aug 27, 2010 4:38:42 AM)
no matter his age
Tohunga (Aug 27, 2010 4:39:26 AM)
until someone magically inclined sees him doing it and he starts to get into trouble, sure :)
Dr. Lucien Ikaeda (Aug 27, 2010 4:39:29 AM)
and so he dedicated his life to it
Dr. Lucien Ikaeda (Aug 27, 2010 4:39:56 AM)
nope as he can conceal it with his own regular talents. he does not use it all the time
Dr. Lucien Ikaeda (Aug 27, 2010 4:43:00 AM)
i was just told 11 years after highschool is plenty of time to be a doc. many go into harvard med school at 18 or 19
Tohunga (Aug 27, 2010 4:43:40 AM)
yeah, but you want to be an influential doctor :) thats why i was asking
Tohunga (Aug 27, 2010 4:44:08 AM)
anyway, you're 1 underspend now i've lowered your influences to 2, might i suggest an ally within the medical community?
Dr. Lucien Ikaeda (Aug 27, 2010 4:44:09 AM)
i dropped that
Dr. Lucien Ikaeda (Aug 27, 2010 4:45:03 AM)
to 2 which is inf someone can earn during work
Dr. Lucien Ikaeda (Aug 27, 2010 4:45:45 AM)
fine an ally in medical community. shall i write about them and give them life?
Tohunga (Aug 27, 2010 4:46:28 AM)
could simply be your superviser?
Dr. Lucien Ikaeda (Aug 27, 2010 4:46:57 AM)
i meant so he has another char to talk with? unless you'd be playing him or her?
Tohunga (Aug 27, 2010 4:47:21 AM)
you an use them in you bb's sure. But you won't be playing them yourself
Tohunga (Aug 27, 2010 4:47:33 AM)
could you give me a descriptive word for your resonance?
Dr. Lucien Ikaeda (Aug 27, 2010 4:48:18 AM)
maybe make it dynamic, fiery
Dr. Lucien Ikaeda (Aug 27, 2010 4:49:27 AM)
i was going to use entropic healing but not sure
Tohunga (Aug 27, 2010 4:49:35 AM)
i'm just trying to figure out why fiery with your concept? it doesn't seem to fit
Dr. Lucien Ikaeda (Aug 27, 2010 4:50:22 AM)
does resonance need to fit?
Tohunga (Aug 27, 2010 4:50:58 AM)
yeah, its a reflection of how you do things
Tohunga (Aug 27, 2010 4:51:26 AM)
i can't see you working on healing someone and having flames spouting about while you're doing it :)
Dr. Lucien Ikaeda (Aug 27, 2010 4:51:47 AM)
as far as i know it doesn't work like that at low levels. it is a sense of
Tohunga (Aug 27, 2010 4:52:52 AM)
oh, agreed. But even so, wouldn't other things work better?
Dr. Lucien Ikaeda (Aug 27, 2010 4:53:42 AM)
let me think.... could you give some suggestions?
Tohunga (Aug 27, 2010 4:54:57 AM)
Rejuvinating
Dr. Lucien Ikaeda (Aug 27, 2010 4:55:19 AM)
i don't like that one
Tohunga (Aug 27, 2010 4:55:57 AM)
Well, the way i see it, you have two ways to go, you could have his medium/ghost side effect his magic so it looks deathly, despite it healing.
Tohunga (Aug 27, 2010 4:56:14 AM)
or you could have it life giving (thus the rejuvination idea)
Dr. Lucien Ikaeda (Aug 27, 2010 4:56:22 AM)
-sigh- the original one, entropic- healing
Dr. Lucien Ikaeda (Aug 27, 2010 4:56:35 AM)
that is what i had in mind for him first
Dr. Lucien Ikaeda (Aug 27, 2010 4:58:06 AM)
it doesn't look like anything much at low levels. a 1 barely factors in. its merely at that level a bit of flavour
Tohunga (Aug 27, 2010 4:58:21 AM)
go grab your icon
Dr. Lucien Ikaeda (Aug 27, 2010 4:58:52 AM)
thanks. you left his age alone?

Tohunga (Aug 27, 2010 9:27:05 PM)
let me just pull up the skype to make sure i have everything, she was actually asking me my opinion of the character yesterday
Simon Calhoune (Aug 27, 2010 9:27:33 PM)
Alright.
Tohunga (Aug 27, 2010 9:28:53 PM)
alright, our first concern (though i personally think its a cool idea) are the mentors. How do you want to deal with them? Purely st run, you bb them from time etc etc? Your thoughts?
Simon Calhoune (Aug 27, 2010 9:29:27 PM)
I loathe BBing, to be honest.
Tohunga (Aug 27, 2010 9:29:42 PM)
you're not alone in that respect
Tohunga (Aug 27, 2010 9:30:00 PM)
i have yet to do a BB for any of my characters on this chat, despite the fact i probably should
Simon Calhoune (Aug 27, 2010 9:30:47 PM)
In a TT setting, I'd say we'd use them as plot vehicles. Which, at least in part, is fine online too. However, I was thinking that as a resource, I could make a Mentors roll to have a question answered, and get a witness, then FPM it to you guys. Ya'll, at that point, get to decide how knowledgable they'd be based on my suxx, and the general nature of the Mentors.
Simon Calhoune (Aug 27, 2010 9:31:40 PM)
Since they're spirits though, it'd be a process for him, in that he'd either have to get lucky and they be there, or... more likely... he'd have to summon them somehow.
Tohunga (Aug 27, 2010 9:33:25 PM)
*nods* i never want to see them used as a gimmick. More than anything the reason i'm fine with them is that they're a good ST hook.
Simon Calhoune (Aug 27, 2010 9:34:09 PM)
They're his parents, and respected former members of his own Factions. He'd never use them as party favors. Think less Beetlejuice and more Ghost Whisperer.
Tohunga (Aug 27, 2010 9:34:28 PM)
your abilities seem to have gone pear shaped, i see 13/7/8. And your freebies list spending freebies in the knowledges

Tohunga (Aug 27, 2010 9:40:22 PM)

Simon Calhoune (Aug 27, 2010 9:40:28 PM)
Odd... welcome back!
Simon Calhoune (Aug 27, 2010 9:40:45 PM)
13 in Talents, 7 in Skills, and 8 in Knowledges. You are correct... I wonder what I was thinking? Let's put 1 into Etiquette, and 1 more into Meditation?
Tohunga (Aug 27, 2010 9:40:45 PM)
didn't see anything after my thing about your abilities
Simon Calhoune (Aug 27, 2010 9:40:50 PM)
*points*
Tohunga (Aug 27, 2010 9:44:36 PM)
mmm, i just corrected myself on merit points :) was just looking through books to make sure i wasn't going to give you something i couldn't, had it in my mind that merits were capped at 7 too, which sorta destroys the concept, pleased to remind myself that only flaws are capped
Simon Calhoune (Aug 27, 2010 9:45:11 PM)
I love you a bit. You know how many people miss that, and rant about Merits being capped?
Tohunga (Aug 27, 2010 9:46:07 PM)
yeah, its only flaws, i wanted to just doubly make sure though
Tohunga (Aug 27, 2010 9:46:29 PM)
Resonance description?
Simon Calhoune (Aug 27, 2010 9:48:22 PM)
I'm still iffy about his resonance.
Tohunga (Aug 27, 2010 9:48:50 PM)
i actually make you two freebies under. Merits 9- Flaws 7 (2) + 6 in knowledges, 1 in wp, 4 in backgrounds. I don't think i'm missing anything
Simon Calhoune (Aug 27, 2010 9:49:30 PM)
Freebie Points:
Cosmology: 2
Enigmas: 2
Medicine: 2
Mentor: 4
Willpower: 1
Dual Trad: 7
Medium: 2
Simon Calhoune (Aug 27, 2010 9:49:49 PM)
You may be correct.
Tohunga (Aug 27, 2010 9:50:20 PM)
yeah, thats 20, less 7 flaws, we could just knock off one of the 2 point flaws
Simon Calhoune (Aug 27, 2010 9:50:49 PM)
Nah, they're good flavor, and already written into his bg.
Simon Calhoune (Aug 27, 2010 9:51:03 PM)
Hmm...
Simon Calhoune (Aug 27, 2010 9:51:31 PM)
Do I get any free Lores?
Tohunga (Aug 27, 2010 9:51:34 PM)
yeah. They're flavor. Occult 1? He says some pretty weird shit
Tohunga (Aug 27, 2010 9:51:56 PM)
theres a note on the mage forums that we don't use in-venue lores, its just assumed
Simon Calhoune (Aug 27, 2010 9:52:02 PM)
Occult 1 could work then.
Tohunga (Aug 27, 2010 9:53:02 PM)
i'm trying to think of a way to reflect your mentors with your static resonance. Held back has potential
Simon Calhoune (Aug 27, 2010 9:53:43 PM)
ooooh.
Simon Calhoune (Aug 27, 2010 9:54:31 PM)
What if it combines religion (his two Factions) and darkness (he sees ghosts constantly) and we call it 'American Gothic'.
Tohunga (Aug 27, 2010 9:54:59 PM)
you do know people will be looking at that description for the resonance and going "wtf?"
Tohunga (Aug 27, 2010 9:55:06 PM)
i'd call that more dynamic too >.>
Simon Calhoune (Aug 27, 2010 9:55:45 PM)
Hmm.
Simon Calhoune (Aug 27, 2010 9:55:59 PM)
I'm trying to sort out a resonance that fits him.
Simon Calhoune (Aug 27, 2010 9:56:20 PM)
What would you think for 'Grim'?
Tohunga (Aug 27, 2010 9:56:31 PM)
grim is fine.
Simon Calhoune (Aug 27, 2010 9:56:36 PM)
Dynamic, Entropic, or Static?
Tohunga (Aug 27, 2010 9:56:51 PM)
Seems more entropic to me than anything
Simon Calhoune (Aug 27, 2010 9:57:44 PM)
Alright.
Simon Calhoune (Aug 27, 2010 9:57:56 PM)
And fitting as a Euthanatos. *shrugs*
Tohunga (Aug 27, 2010 9:58:37 PM)
Now theres one last thing which we're going to chat about. With his arete 1 and youthful age, I don't think having him of both factions yet is doable. Dual Traditions awesome, dual factions ... not quite yet. Me and SC were talking and our thoughts is that for the moment hes not of either faction, they don't trust him quite enough yet and are waiting to see where his loyalty lies. We think its a much greater character aim and development than giving you them both at sanctioning, something to aspire to achieve
Simon Calhoune (Aug 27, 2010 9:59:07 PM)
Alright.
Simon Calhoune (Aug 27, 2010 9:59:54 PM)
My only concern is that the two Factions are tied to his concept, and if for whatever reason it fails to manifest IC, it's going to break the character, and -might- render him unplayable.
Simon Calhoune (Aug 27, 2010 10:00:11 PM)
But, I'm still fine with it.
Tohunga (Aug 27, 2010 10:00:33 PM)
nah, you still have the mentors who're pushing him to join. Its just a reflection of the factions watching the young kid and seeing how he develops :)
Tohunga (Aug 27, 2010 10:00:40 PM)
you get to prove your stuff basically
Simon Calhoune (Aug 27, 2010 10:01:03 PM)
*nods*
Tohunga (Aug 27, 2010 10:02:18 PM)
so outside of the ordained weapon in your possessions, it doesn't effect anything else.
Simon Calhoune (Aug 27, 2010 10:02:46 PM)
*nods* You understand by 'ordained' I just meant blessed. Not an agg weapon or anything like that, just his father's blade.
Simon Calhoune (Aug 27, 2010 10:04:45 PM)
But, could be the Templars are keeping it in trust?
Tohunga (Aug 27, 2010 10:05:39 PM)
yeah, i do. I would say that he's just under orders not to use it in their name (ie. at all), so for now its just a heirloom, a memory of his father. And sanctioned.
Simon Calhoune (Aug 27, 2010 10:08:15 PM)
Sweeeet.
Tohunga (Aug 27, 2010 10:08:25 PM)
not too painful was it? :)
Simon Calhoune (Aug 27, 2010 10:08:35 PM)
See? I'm a lot easier to sanction than you've most likely heard. Heh.
Tohunga (Aug 27, 2010 10:09:15 PM)
nah, i was surprised you messed up your dots a little more than anything
Simon Calhoune (Aug 27, 2010 10:09:50 PM)
I was throwing dots at the screen as I was getting ready for work. Heh.
Tohunga (Aug 27, 2010 10:10:21 PM)
its cool. Its better than the alternative, me finding already sanctioned sheets with dots well off (which has happened 3 times so far)
Tohunga (Aug 27, 2010 10:11:34 PM)
any questions?
Simon Calhoune (Aug 27, 2010 10:12:02 PM)
Nope. I'm gonna read up on the forums and poke around a bit, then go IC either later tonight or tomorrow after work.
Tohunga (Aug 27, 2010 10:12:37 PM)
alright, catchya round. Reading up on the ic thread about katrina and things is my storyline.
Simon Calhoune (Aug 27, 2010 10:12:46 PM)
