**As Chris scarmbles back, you hit the counter, a picture falls and smashes, as do several books balanced by the phone.... and the heavy thud of the handgun**
Legion (Sep 28, 2011 12:01:18 AM)
**Melissa smiles out** It's time son, do you really want to fight it anymore? Sam's wating for you, Your son is waiting for you
Chris Reimmer (Sep 28, 2011 12:02:04 AM)
*his head snapped to look at the sound of the gun dropping to the floor. He was breathing fast, shallow breathes now. His mind racing, but too clouded to form coherent, rational thoughts, everything spinning. The sound of his mother in the television, his dad, Sam... a... son? His hand shot out, clumsily grasping the pistol*
Legion (Sep 28, 2011 12:03:06 AM)
**The television pops and crackles, the view slowly closing in on her face** Just the first dip, thats all it is
Legion (Sep 28, 2011 12:03:33 AM)
**The black sigils of Akasha burst into flames**
Chris Reimmer (Sep 28, 2011 12:05:57 AM)
*His hands trembling violently now. The tears had started rolling again. He crawled over to the last of the pills, bringing the back with his free hand to his mouth, tearing it open with his teeth. His other hand holding the gun, he poured the contents into his mouth, maybe a dozen pills. Hundreds of milligrams more than his body would be able to take. He chewed them up, snarling at the bitter taste.*
Chris Reimmer (Sep 28, 2011 12:06:23 AM)
*As he swallowed them, he reached forward and worked the slide. Thumbing the safet off... he stopped, to take a breath*
Legion (Sep 28, 2011 12:08:15 AM)
**A Malevolent gleam shines in Melissa's eyes** It's time darling, come to us, come home
Chris Reimmer (Sep 28, 2011 12:11:33 AM)
*He could feel the chemicals taking effect. His heart rate began to slow, the walls started to ripple like water. His arms and head felt heavy. It wouldn't be long now... he raised the pistol slowly, the muzzle drifting around in his heavily sedated grasp. He pressed it firmly against his temple, closing his eyes. He knew one thing for sure: it was going to be loud*
Legion (Sep 28, 2011 12:11:47 AM)
**Ra'azerael feels the weakness in the walls and throws himself toward that warmth of Faith. through countless millenia, distances unknown he surges forward, the last of his essence spent as he screams his rage at the chance of freedom**
Legion (Sep 28, 2011 12:12:29 AM)
**Melissa curls her lip and barks** Do IT!
Chris Reimmer (Sep 28, 2011 12:15:23 AM)
*In the darkness of his barren apartment building, a hollowed out shell of the child who he had been. The drugs beginning to shut his body down as he overdosed. His mind was a storm cloud of self loathing, fear, and regret. He exhaled slowly...and squeezed the trigger*
Legion (Sep 28, 2011 12:19:33 AM)
**There is a moment where everything ceases to be. Chris see's light explde about him and somehow that noting is the sweetest peace. That single fragment of time washing the soul like a purifying rain. and then in the fog of light, Sam's voice.. "Chris?"
Legion (Sep 28, 2011 12:19:42 AM)
**And then it appears. A light. A pin point in the distance but oh ..so..beautiful. More radiant than a sinrise, more exillerating than victory. That light becomes everything where the darkness before has been nothing. And then, that light explodes around you. and the sickening lurch of a reality changed.**
Legion (Sep 28, 2011 12:22:43 AM)
**That which is Ra'azereal drags in ragged breath; The first breath. The walls about you are bright, the gun on your hand an alien thing. All is silent yet the smell of cordite or maybe brimstone hangs in the air... and then time dilates as awareness becomes reality... You, Ra'azereal are FREE!
Chris Reimmer (Sep 28, 2011 12:26:00 AM)
*The gun fell to the floor, the sound of it contacting the wood was like rolling thunder. The /sound/ of it. The material that composed it's cold metal frame hitting the wood, waves of energy rippling out from it, registering in what were once Chris' ears. A first deep breath, tactile, the wind rushing through the larynx and into the lungs, inflating them like ballons.... stunned silence and awe as the senses began to take in information*
Legion (Sep 28, 2011 12:26:25 AM)
**Something however feels wrong and a pain swells through you... it burrows to the centre of your mind thoough it feels like the pain itself is shift.. burrowing. It drives through the middle of your thinking until it reaches the back of your throat and you gag before you cough. Looking to your bloody hand, you spit the bullet out and stare at it for a moment, as the world and the wound repairs itself**
Legion (Sep 28, 2011 12:28:16 AM)
((and now, the road is yours. How you bring Chris and Ra'azereal together is a very personal thing and best explored IC with other Demons. I hope you enjoyed the scene as much as I did however))
Chris Reimmer (Sep 28, 2011 12:29:02 AM)
((yeah, I thought it was great. This will sound conceited, but I kind of felt sorry for my own character? haha))
Legion (Sep 28, 2011 12:29:54 AM)
((You were, pardon my language, fucking awesome and it was a priveledge. Chris's story is one I will remember. :)
Legion (Sep 28, 2011 12:30:25 AM)
((And now if it's okay, I'm going to call in our lovely Demon Dr, Dusk, and she will take your changes from here))
Chris Reimmer (Sep 28, 2011 12:30:39 AM)
((Thanks! It was you moving the show, I was just trying to keep up! Happy ot be in the venue))
Chris Reimmer (Sep 28, 2011 12:30:47 AM)
((yeah, that sounds perfect))

(Hey :) I hear I am needed for sheet and icon changes?
Chris Reimmer (Sep 28, 2011 12:33:50 AM)
((yeah, you are the Dr. I hear))
Dusk (Sep 28, 2011 12:34:14 AM)
(I am the sheet work monkey! One sec while I open your sheet!)
Chris Reimmer (Sep 28, 2011 12:35:19 AM)
((ok))
Dusk (Sep 28, 2011 12:35:35 AM)
(okay where are your 3 dots of lore going? Longing?)
Chris Reimmer (Sep 28, 2011 12:35:47 AM)
((My poor little soul-crushed mortal heh))
Chris Reimmer (Sep 28, 2011 12:35:58 AM)
((I was thinking of going 2 Longing, 1 Storms?))
Dusk (Sep 28, 2011 12:35:59 AM)
(lol )
Dusk (Sep 28, 2011 12:36:12 AM)
(np but longing is your primary? Use that for your visage?)
Chris Reimmer (Sep 28, 2011 12:36:49 AM)
((Yeah. What was the story on the forum about customizing the apoc? Is that just an exp thing? I'm not sure I understand the rules there)
Chris Reimmer (Sep 28, 2011 12:36:54 AM)
((but yes, longing primary))
Dusk (Sep 28, 2011 12:37:33 AM)
(You can make a custom apoc form or take a pre generated one from the book. If you make custom you use the players guide. You need 4 low torment aspects and 4 high torment aspects that total 16 points all together.)
Dusk (Sep 28, 2011 12:38:34 AM)
(What's his celestial name again?)
Legion (Sep 28, 2011 12:39:07 AM)
Ra'azereal
Dusk (Sep 28, 2011 12:39:26 AM)
Ra'azereal?
Legion (Sep 28, 2011 12:39:43 AM)
you asked for his celetial; name right
Chris Reimmer (Sep 28, 2011 12:39:44 AM)
((Could I just switch out two traits from the stock Apoc form for two that cost the same in the players guide? Does it work like that? Ex. Enhanced Intuition for Enhanced empathy?))
Chris Reimmer (Sep 28, 2011 12:39:51 AM)
((and yes, thay is the celestial name))
Chris Reimmer (Sep 28, 2011 12:39:57 AM)
((that*))
Legion (Sep 28, 2011 12:40:08 AM)
It's not my new pet name for you Dusk
Legion (Sep 28, 2011 12:40:10 AM)
lol
Dusk (Sep 28, 2011 12:40:16 AM)
damn!
Dusk (Sep 28, 2011 12:41:05 AM)
So I said he needed eminence 2 with that bg didn't I?
Chris Reimmer (Sep 28, 2011 12:41:13 AM)
Yeah
Legion (Sep 28, 2011 12:41:52 AM)
and can you add 'feint scar to the right temple'
Legion (Sep 28, 2011 12:41:56 AM)
:)
Dusk (Sep 28, 2011 12:42:16 AM)
that leaves you 12 xp, did you want any paragon or awareness with that?
Legion (Sep 28, 2011 12:42:42 AM)
or fries maybe?
Chris Reimmer (Sep 28, 2011 12:43:13 AM)
Ok, so that was how much xp spent on the eminence?
Dusk (Sep 28, 2011 12:43:36 AM)
You have 18xp, eminence 2 cost you 6
Dusk (Sep 28, 2011 12:43:47 AM)
have = had. So now you have 12 left
Chris Reimmer (Sep 28, 2011 12:44:09 AM)
Ahh I had a whole little list of things, but I have to make a quick amendment, I thought the em 2 was going to cost 5
Chris Reimmer (Sep 28, 2011 12:44:20 AM)
but yes, awareness 1. Paragon 1
Chris Reimmer (Sep 28, 2011 12:44:27 AM)
How much do those cost then?
Dusk (Sep 28, 2011 12:44:47 AM)
that will cost another 6 so that leaves you with 6 :)
Chris Reimmer (Sep 28, 2011 12:45:39 AM)
And what is the cost of merits at this stage?
Dusk (Sep 28, 2011 12:45:55 AM)
three times level
Dusk (Sep 28, 2011 12:47:52 AM)
Sorry back to the apoc form, sadly you can't just switch out. You either need to take the form in the book or create your own from scratch using the players guide.
Chris Reimmer (Sep 28, 2011 12:48:07 AM)
hmm ok, this is not me being passive aggressive. But jsut something to note, my little schedule I had written up for xp expenditure at possession was based off the numbers written up in the "house rules" post on the forums which has different numbers
Dusk (Sep 28, 2011 12:48:23 AM)
But I understand that can take some time. I'm happy to leave you without an apoc form for say 3 days and in that time you can fpm it to me? I'll approve it or ask you to make adjustments and then add it to your sheet?
Dusk (Sep 28, 2011 12:48:40 AM)
that's cool :) Let me double check
Chris Reimmer (Sep 28, 2011 12:49:58 AM)
no problem
Dusk (Sep 28, 2011 12:50:04 AM)
oh yeah, my bad :) 2 times level
Chris Reimmer (Sep 28, 2011 12:50:20 AM)
Ok, and the other one that I thought was different was the background cost
Dusk (Sep 28, 2011 12:51:24 AM)
I overcharged you by 1xp, I'll add it back onto the sheet.
Chris Reimmer (Sep 28, 2011 12:52:15 AM)
sweet!
Chris Reimmer (Sep 28, 2011 12:52:31 AM)
Wow, doing a quick tally, it looks like the stock apoc form woudl be worth 18 dots?
Dusk (Sep 28, 2011 12:52:32 AM)
Done :)
Dusk (Sep 28, 2011 12:52:46 AM)
that's why you have to choose to make your own or take the stock as it is :)
Chris Reimmer (Sep 28, 2011 12:53:00 AM)
Right
Chris Reimmer (Sep 28, 2011 12:53:32 AM)
Ok so how many points do I have left now? Sorry....
Dusk (Sep 28, 2011 12:53:35 AM)
So want to take a couple of days to work out the apoc form and fpm me?
Dusk (Sep 28, 2011 12:53:50 AM)
you have 7xp
Chris Reimmer (Sep 28, 2011 12:53:54 AM)
well let's see how fast I can work while we're sorting the rest of the stuff out
Chris Reimmer (Sep 28, 2011 12:54:20 AM)
How do you guys feel about the merit Dreams of the Past, to compliment his flaw of Heavy Sleeper?
Dusk (Sep 28, 2011 12:56:16 AM)
I'm happy for you to take that :)
Chris Reimmer (Sep 28, 2011 12:56:51 AM)
heh
Chris Reimmer (Sep 28, 2011 12:56:58 AM)
and than that leaves me with 3 right?
Dusk (Sep 28, 2011 12:57:14 AM)
yep. Maybe awareness 2? Paragon 2?
Chris Reimmer (Sep 28, 2011 12:58:15 AM)
Hmm I am on the fence between Awareness 2 and Lore of Humanity 1
Chris Reimmer (Sep 28, 2011 12:58:26 AM)
is paragon something I am overlooking?
Dusk (Sep 28, 2011 12:58:34 AM)
Lore of Humanity 1 would cost more than the 3xp you have.
Chris Reimmer (Sep 28, 2011 12:58:55 AM)
ahh sorry. how much does lore cost?
Dusk (Sep 28, 2011 12:59:29 AM)
7xp
Chris Reimmer (Sep 28, 2011 1:00:20 AM)
right, much more than the 3xp I have, that was dumb
Dusk (Sep 28, 2011 1:01:28 AM)
:) It's something that is easy to raise with xp over time though. With 3xp I think you'd be better off raising either awareness or paragon, but that's just my opinion!
Chris Reimmer (Sep 28, 2011 1:01:42 AM)
Right.
Legion (Sep 28, 2011 1:01:47 AM)
**whispers** paragon
Chris Reimmer (Sep 28, 2011 1:01:58 AM)
Haha, this is a useful background I'm gathering
Legion (Sep 28, 2011 1:02:12 AM)
**whistles*
Dusk (Sep 28, 2011 1:02:34 AM)
lol very and hard to justify raising after posession
Chris Reimmer (Sep 28, 2011 1:03:31 AM)
Ok... paragon it is!
Dusk (Sep 28, 2011 1:06:17 AM)
okay Chris :) Log all the way out and back in for me please?
Chris Reimmer (Sep 28, 2011 1:06:36 AM)
One last thing
Chris Reimmer (Sep 28, 2011 1:06:50 AM)
I think I have cobbled together an apoc form, or would you like me to fpm it in detail
