This is the topic to store all Out Of Character posts for the PbP campaign "Cannon Fodder"

Feel free to laugh, joke, metagame, toss in your two cents, or marvel at the wonder of life.  Anything and anyone goes here!

Also, I've noticed a disturbing lack of coed emails flooding my inbox.  I'm starting to suspect not everyone is adhering to the most important requirement of this campaign.

Also, I've noticed a disturbing lack of coed emails flooding my inbox.  I'm starting to suspect not everyone is adhering to the most important requirement of this campaign.

I'm afraid this went over my head.  What's a coed email and what't he most important req (unless you're referring to daily posts?)

== Description ==
a 24 year old, japanese woman of average build and looks.
easily able to blend into the crowd, she prefers a course of action that doesnt involve a fight, but when pushed, will defend herself vigourously.
Her english speaking skills arent that great and her traditional japanese manners mean she is quite formal and staid in social situations. whilst not the most charismatic of people, she is warm and friendly to those who get to know her.
she has an interest in modern pop music, and frequently listens to elven pop acts.

== Background ==
human adept: 24 year old female. Japanese descent. Served national service in IJA at 18. expressed during service,
she found could  tap into an inner reservoir of strength that allowed her to jump and run great distances when came under fire. She has been classified as an awakened adept, and her powers allow her to focus her magic into improving her physical output.
She moved to the UCAS with her father shortly after finishing her compulsory service, under a corporate transfer scheme. Kyoko Father worked at Renraku labs, but was laid off after his project was canceled just on the brink of a major breakthrough. He died under mysterious circumstances at work and no further information was forthcoming from Renraku. The same day, her temporary contract with the company was terminated without explanation, and she found herself mourning, skint and alone in a strange city.
Unable to find legitimate work with the Renraku black mark on her employment record, she had to turn to illicit means of paying her bills, including the use of her gymnastics talents and military signals training.
Her talents earned her respect in the shadows for getting things done, and she now works as a courier for a black market weapons dealer and free-lances on the side.


== Concept ==
free-runner, who served time as a signals officer in the IJA, picking up skills in jamming, communications and intercepting data.

please let me know if there are any glaring mistakes/omissions/tweaks i need to make.
warm regards, chris

Description
Cuco is an average sized man, rounding out at 5' 9" with a slightly slimmer build than average.  He's 22 years old, has green eyes, and a handlebar mustache that he curls up at the ends.  His black hair is kept long enough to comb back, but when he goes out on a run it's usually tucked under his dark brown and archaically looking steeple hat with an exaggerated rim.

Background
Cuco was born in Seattle from Caribbean League immigrants.  As such, he's fluent in both English and Spanish.  Growing up, Cuco was always getting into trouble due to his mischievous nature.  Having lived in the grey area that was still very much the outskirts of the Redmond Barrens and not quite the safer areas of the rest of Seattle, Cuco naturally had to learn to use a weapon for self defense from the occasional gangers along with the usual underground procedures for obtaining a fake SIN in order to move around the city. 

The day after Cuco's 21st birthday, his life going no where fast, he woke up in an alleyway after a night of drinking and celebrating.  He had a cut over one of his eyes and several bruises on his face and body.  He had blacked out and must have been assaulted.  After trying to get his thoughts together in the lonely alley for short time, he noticed that his clothes weren't ripped due to the attack but rather... burnt.  Holes with seared edges were scattered across his shirt and pants but his body had not a single mark of being damaged by fire. 

Holy shit...

A quick look at his genitals put a now hyperventilating Cuco at ease.  He gathered himself and headed straight home...

I'll have to research what the hell could have caused... uggghhhh... ok one thing at time... aspirin... and coffee... maybe another beer too...

Concept
Cuco has recently learned that he is an awakened individual.  A little more than a year has passed since he awoke in that alley.  One thing might set Cuco apart, however, from pre conceived notions of what magicians are supposed to be... and that is that Cuco is a terrible magician. Not only does he lack formal training but he sucks at spell slinging in general.  He usually tries to rely on his baton or his shooting skills to see him through a tight spot because his magic is usually limited to cheap parlor tricks and burning the eyelashes off of whatever girl he's trying to take back home on a given night. 

My concept for Cuco is that of a comedic relief noob spellslinger who will probably get himself and the team in more trouble than its worth due to his spells.  His mentor spirit is trickster so expect him to pull pranks on you guys and bring in humor at inappropriate times.  I am most certainly NOT going for "bad ass" when it comes to Cuco.  I have an idea of the way that I'd like him to evolve, but that'll depend largely on the situations that our GM puts him in.  I expect Cuco's magical prowess to grow through this campaign as opposed to just starting out as a magical specialist.  I've never played a mage before so any clarifications on mechanics that I might get wrong would be appreciated.

[JDA]

Looking forward to playing in this game.
 I will be running an elven female character Alexi Senatasia  goes by Alex, Alex was classically trained in the art of influence by her family and had an inside track into the corporate world. Being an elf that was rasied in Tir tangiere definitely had some advantages. Her Family was solidily placed in the corporate world, both as top notch negotiators.  She had learned at an early age how to manipulate and negotiate terms in her favor Hand had even received an internship for Bluehaven Corp. However, she quickly learned that in the corp. world their are others will equal or better skills and seeing the corporate career ladder and the certainty it provided quickly added up to being boring. she was at the Bar inferno talking to an old school aquaintance Devon Engleslde about the disillusion of it all. How it seems everything is prearrange with no room to free style anything anymore and it was here that the ideal and suggestion for her to just disappear was given to her. To completely vanish from the world, the ideal appealed to her and she was given an early century novel to read "Atlas shrugged" and so in the following weeks she put together a plan then on the 3rd day of June at her cubical she decided it was time to go off the grid and see what type of life she could make for herself and quickly scribed a note " Who is John Gault?" although she didn't really figure anyone would make the connection.

Character is done, Sheet will be posted tommorrow. Again looking forward to playing.

Gustovness, I like your character.  When I hand out the bonuses for the background you get something extra special just for having a big ol' handlebar mustache because that is awesome.

JDA, look forward to seeing your sheet.

I really admire you, Gustavness.  I would never be able to put up a character like that, no matter how interesting the concept is.  And don't doubt, that concept is interesting and entertaining.  I may follow the game just to see what you do.  Very cool, Sir.

[Gustovness]

Thanks for the encouragement, guys! I'll try to put on a good show!

[Csjarrat]

Hey gustovness, looking forward to getting gaming with you guys! If you're happy, I'll drop the astral perception so as not to step on your characters toes. It'd free up a much needed powerpoint for flea which could go on wall running or similar :-)

[Gustovness]

You should build your character independently of my own.  Like I said, Cuco isn't very proficient in magic.

JDA, is this your character with the gambling habit?  If so, have you considered the addiction negative quality?
Hit us up with a bit of a character description and history and that will just leave Ren to work out his character before we're good to go.

[Gustovness]

Holy shit, Ren is in this game?  He was my star player in my last game where I GM'ed.  He knows his stuff and he's a great role player.  I'm lookin' forward to runnin' beside you as team mate, chum!
