Why hello homie!

Tohunga (Nov 15, 2010 2:54:30 AM)
okay, your sheet ... i was like ... okay ... cool cool cool cool ... holy shit backgrounds... and then flaws too/

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 2:54:42 AM)
err not... good?

Tohunga (Nov 15, 2010 2:54:55 AM)
you know adversary backgrounds count towards your flaw total right?

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 2:54:59 AM)
right

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 2:55:13 AM)
I only took 7 pnts from flaws, but took more for 0pnts

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 2:55:21 AM)
is that okay?

Tohunga (Nov 15, 2010 2:55:40 AM)
Adversarial Backgrounds (6f), Nightmares (1f), Racist (0f), Homophobic (0f), Demented[PTSD, Sees the faces of his victims](0f) + debt 3 + ward 1 + throwbacks 2?

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 2:56:07 AM)
...ummm

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 2:56:14 AM)
check that first flaw one more time

Tohunga (Nov 15, 2010 2:56:36 AM)
that first stuff is c/p from your sheet :)

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 2:56:41 AM)
right

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 2:56:50 AM)
but... its 'adversarial backgrounds'

Tohunga (Nov 15, 2010 2:56:57 AM)
oh *facepalm*

Tohunga (Nov 15, 2010 2:57:03 AM)
like i said, just back from work

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 2:57:03 AM)
heheheh its fine

Tohunga (Nov 15, 2010 2:59:47 AM)
okay ... so, why the -need- to have all those flaws? i mean, i'm cool with you being racist and homophobic but theres no real need to have them as zero's on your sheet, just rp it

Tohunga (Nov 15, 2010 3:00:05 AM)
i assume the debt is trying to pay for his daughters welfare

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 3:00:12 AM)
right

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 3:00:23 AM)
Debt comes from paying for his daughters care

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 3:00:34 AM)
now... few things

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 3:02:28 AM)
1. I /WANT/ tons of flaws... its gives you ST's alot of vunerable holes to fuck with me... and it makes the character more interesting to play... flaws are fun... 2. I put 1 freebie from Ward towards Quintessence... I showed my background to someone and they want to play the daughter now

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 3:02:47 AM)
so I'm willing to knock both the quint and ward off, even though, she's still kind of a ward

Tohunga (Nov 15, 2010 3:03:07 AM)
is there an aim to look at healing your daughter? thats more than a little doable

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 3:03:47 AM)
yes absolutely, Lou's whole idea to move to New Orleans is to get treatment for his daughters melanoma

Tohunga (Nov 15, 2010 3:04:17 AM)
what happened to his wife? i had a quick look but i think i must've scanned over that part

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 3:04:40 AM)
His wife died in a car accident just before he returned from his tour in afghanistan

Tohunga (Nov 15, 2010 3:04:51 AM)
alright, thanks

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 3:05:05 AM)
the guy has issues

Tohunga (Nov 15, 2010 3:05:22 AM)
okay, so why the 10 rotes? Its one rote per dot of spheres.

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 3:05:46 AM)
oh shit, my bad... I wasn't aware, I just threw em down

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 3:08:31 AM)
Enchant Weapon, Betrayal of the Burning Arrow, Starlight Vision, ummm Don't Move, Energy Shield, and Challenge and Reply

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 3:09:50 AM)
does that work?

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 3:10:07 AM)
do you want me to cut it down or do can you?

Tohunga (Nov 15, 2010 3:10:42 AM)
you might have to cut it down, i just went to do it and ended up with 5 rotes, so ... i've missed something, i haven't saved the sheet change

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 3:11:35 AM)
its fine

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 3:11:36 AM)
brb

Tohunga (Nov 15, 2010 3:13:31 AM)
also allows me to try and eat *laughs*

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 3:14:21 AM)
updated

Tohunga (Nov 15, 2010 3:16:07 AM)
the way we've been sanctioning everyone is one specific foci per sphere, you've got three listed per sphere

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 3:16:48 AM)
shit really? only one?

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 3:16:55 AM)
okay okay I can work this down

Tohunga (Nov 15, 2010 3:17:04 AM)
yeah. I wouldn't let you have "sunlight" for prime anyway

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 3:17:15 AM)
figured, but thought I'd try

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 3:19:11 AM)
I'll keep Pain for Prime... I think it works best for him... I'd like to keep either Fire or Metal for forces, depends on if you let me have the parlor trick as 'Lighting his fingers' like a lighter flame from his thumb or his fingers.

Tohunga (Nov 15, 2010 3:19:45 AM)
his flambeau, its sorta inevitable ...

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 3:19:46 AM)
and Corr is going to stay Geometric Patterns, it works for checkerboard as well

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 3:19:55 AM)
right?

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 3:20:17 AM)
thats where I was going with it

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 3:20:25 AM)
so Fire for Forces

Tohunga (Nov 15, 2010 3:20:32 AM)
right. Lores, you don't need them, you get them for free, no need for listing them on your sheet (just telling you so you dont' got ... where the hell...?"

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 3:21:07 AM)
gotcha, I figured I'd get Hermetic and Mage lore 1 for free at least so forgive me for being presumptuous

Tohunga (Nov 15, 2010 3:21:11 AM)
talk to me about the legendary stamina ...

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 3:25:06 AM)
okay... I'm flexible on this, but I'd really really like to keep it. It's part of his torment... when he was trapped in afghanistan and his unit was offed, and he's left alone with another opfor-agent... he doesn't have any more rounds... he taps into his avatar, his reserves, everything he has to ignore the bullets and ripping through him, and his avatar saves his life by blessing his skin, bullets start flying off of him left and right just before he gets to the opfor and gouges his eyes out... on one hand its a gift... but Lou hates it because it means its that much harder for him to die, he has to stay with the real and pay his debt to those he's killed, he has to balance his scale before he can be free of the weight on his shoulders.

Tohunga (Nov 15, 2010 3:26:26 AM)
the question i have is what are you wanting mechanic wise for it? the way legendary attribue works is you define a specific mechanic and it can be variable.

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 3:27:05 AM)
right, okay cool, ummm fingers crossed, I'd like the one suggested that Lou can roll soak for any sort of damage, but I'm not sure that'll fly

Tohunga (Nov 15, 2010 3:27:06 AM)
i mean, it could be something like +2 soak while defending the innocent.

Tohunga (Nov 15, 2010 3:27:14 AM)
no, that wouldn't fly

Tohunga (Nov 15, 2010 3:27:19 AM)
agg dmg is agg dmg

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 3:27:47 AM)
what about vamp him? like bullets are half damage and bashing?

Tohunga (Nov 15, 2010 3:28:12 AM)
i'm fine with that, so long as its bullets, and only bullets

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 3:28:20 AM)
sounds good to me

Tohunga (Nov 15, 2010 3:28:35 AM)
buckshot is likely going to still hurt like a m-fer

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 3:28:40 AM)
OH GOD YEAH

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 3:28:51 AM)
its not that he doesn't feel it

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 3:29:22 AM)
and a bullet hitting your skin still hurts like balls, even it it doesn't go through

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 3:29:38 AM)
bean-bag shotgun shells suck a fat dick, let me tell you

Tohunga (Nov 15, 2010 3:29:55 AM)
you'd know far more than i would.

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 3:30:58 AM)
heh, don't worry about it then... but yeah... frozen paintballs for example... hit really hard at a really fast speed, don't puncture, but bruise up entire areas of skin, and hurt for days afterwards

Tohunga (Nov 15, 2010 3:31:14 AM)
-that- i've experienced

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 3:31:20 AM)
right? sucks

Tohunga (Nov 15, 2010 3:31:30 AM)
paintballing in the snow. I don't know who's fucken idea that was

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 3:31:33 AM)
lol

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 3:31:37 AM)
HORRIBLE idea

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 3:32:18 AM)
does everything else look good?

Tohunga (Nov 15, 2010 3:32:23 AM)
right. last thing, i'm fine with how you've written your paradigm but i'd like a little more enlightenment as an st. I want to know in a paragraph or two how he sees the world, just for my edification

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 3:33:43 AM)
sure sure

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 3:41:08 AM)
Lou sees the 'world' of magic as reactionary [granted his understanding of mage culture is limited] when following sacred rituals he can spark a reaction from the fabric of reality... what gathers a reaction are objects with heavy symbolism, an apple can be an apple but it can also be a representation of the fall of man, just like the fabric of reality is much more than what is perceivable on the surface. Also the stronger the symbolism the stronger an effect can be garnered. He theorizes that this is a side effect of the limitations of our perceptions as meat husks on the material plane, that the real is the 'Observer' that interacts with others and the synapses and reactions between said Observers create the fabric, if everyone wants to see a Suburban shopping mall thats whats there, mostly because they don't know to ask for something different.

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 3:41:55 AM)
more? less? rephrase?

Tohunga (Nov 15, 2010 3:42:39 AM)
no, its fine, i'm just considering how that relates to his foci. Particularly pain

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 3:44:20 AM)
Pain is a jarring reshaping of the perceptions, ritualistic society have been using it for a millenium to reach a higher consciousness

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 3:44:42 AM)
but I do understand what you mean... pain's sort of hard to 'categorize'

Tohunga (Nov 15, 2010 3:45:31 AM)
its a hard thing to look at symbolically is what i'm saying, yeah

Tohunga (Nov 15, 2010 3:45:47 AM)
anyways sanctioned, welcome to the venue.

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 3:45:59 AM)
yes! thanks man I appreciate it

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 3:46:08 AM)
now I've got a place to play away from work

Tohunga (Nov 15, 2010 3:46:10 AM)
if you're not too bedraggled at this hour, maybe you should look at some ic

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 3:46:23 AM)
oh no I'm great to go ic

Tohunga (Nov 15, 2010 3:46:28 AM)
where is work for you these days? RoD?

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 3:46:37 AM)
RoD?

Tohunga (Nov 15, 2010 3:46:57 AM)
Requiem of Dreams, that sounds like a no

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 3:47:05 AM)
ah, nope I'm still at IV

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 3:47:30 AM)
that was before I heard Evangeline and Pacoyote came here

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 3:47:57 AM)
I like the ST'ing, the writing is still stimulating for me

Tohunga (Nov 15, 2010 3:48:18 AM)
ahh, righto. And yeah, though Bryan hasn't been doing/playing much. I've been on a bit of hiatus the last month. I went from applying for narrator to being full st in 3 days, and then the head st couldn't do anything for about 6 weeks

Tohunga (Nov 15, 2010 3:48:29 AM)
so ... i pretty much ran the entire venue, needed a breather

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 3:48:41 AM)
but I need a place where I don't have to go green to avoid pms

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 3:48:48 AM)
ugh god, I feel your pain

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 3:49:07 AM)
that sounds shitty, any better now?

Tohunga (Nov 15, 2010 3:49:47 AM)
well, the main st is getting back more regularly but i'm still not 100% sure about their activity lvls, i'm still doing all the admin side so far unless i prod really hard. We'll see, one can but hope, eh?

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 3:51:37 AM)
right? fingers crossed bro

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 3:51:46 AM)
I'ma go jump into my skin, thanks again

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 3:51:50 AM)
oh wait

Tohunga (Nov 15, 2010 3:51:53 AM)
hmm?

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 3:52:19 AM)
one last thing... whats the last thing thats been going on here in New Orleans, mage wise... any words on the grapevine?

Tohunga (Nov 15, 2010 3:53:46 AM)
here was a linear abducted about a month back from their very home by the technocracy, a hermetic has tried to form a tradition council ... but has been told thats a retarded idea in a techie held city and i'm not sure if it'll happen now ... there were rogue storms happening recently but they seem to have died down.

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 3:54:25 AM)
oh yeah... shit, NO is hella techy run right now isn't it

Tohunga (Nov 15, 2010 3:54:47 AM)
the techies came in after katrina and fucked everyone up

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 3:54:54 AM)
gotcha

Tohunga (Nov 15, 2010 3:55:01 AM)
to put it in the "short version"

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 3:55:09 AM)
awesome, more reasons to be paranoid, this'll be great

Bendy OOC (Nov 15, 2010 3:55:32 AM)
switching skins... much love, thanks again tohunga

Tohunga (Nov 15, 2010 3:55:33 AM)
i'll let you talk to ada about icness

Tohunga (Nov 15, 2010 3:55:37 AM)
laters, have fun
