I'm gonna go through and adress unanswered questions from the recrutiment thread, as i see ive missed a few.

Provide us with a little info about the area? I'm not familiar with Florida beyond what I see in movies and on TV, so I'm pretty certain that I don't know much about what it's really like.

Jacksonville is one of the oldest cities in the country and one of the largest as far as landmass goes. It's hot and muggy all the time. Just cause there's a lot of beach there doesn't mean the waves follow suit and only beginner/amateur surfers ride the tiny waves here. It rains every day at 3pm during the spring and summer. A good portion of the city is still undeveloped swampland with creepy tiny little moblie home neighborhoods sorta thrown in there and a good portion of the downtown real estate is owned by the first baptist church. It's a big city with a small town mentality and crappy public transit. Some areas, the bus doesn't even go to and you can more or less forget about trains unless you've got some serious connections.

So you said that you want the characters to fit well with each other and have a good motivation for entering the shadows, do you have any kind of motivation in particular that you want to work with in the story?  Or kind of story you want to tell?  Little guys making the hood a better place, making the hood THEIR place, anything in between?

A story about people moving from an old life into a new one, and the struggles one often faces against society and themselves when they undergo such a journey.

How are you planning to handle repairs of vehicles and drones?

Still don't know. You got any ideas?

If we're going to give Francis some extra contacts I was thinking about some of these archetypes. Poindexter, just give a Yay or Nay and how many points I should spend on them.
Judge
Courthouse clerk
Socialite [Think: Paris Hilton OR Young trophy wife OR Older Cougar OR Olenna Tyrell]
Event planner
Private Investigator
Reporter

As a matter of fact, let's houserule contacts.
for everyone, not just you.

Lets do Charisma x 3 instead of x 2, cool?

Hey, my post is done, but I wanted to ask before I post it.  Do you think I should put my alchemy rolls here in the OOC thread, so as not to add clutter to the IC one?  This round of alchemy, for example, was 12 rolls.

did you do the opposed rolls too?

If it's at home stuff, put it in the OOC thread.
If it's out on the streets stuff, put it in the IC thread in beige.

And yes, two of my preps have already worn off by the time my nap finished.  So that's...awesome.

You need to get you a better workshop.

I hope you can understand what I'm saying with the chameleon suit there, and that it's ok.  Let me know if not.

As far as repair costs, I think anything beyond 1-2% of cost per box just gets crazy when you're dealing with the more expensive stuff.  One good blast to a steel lynx and you can be out your pay for multiple runs, even at 2% it's 500 per box of damage.

Aren't contacts already 3xCharisma at chargen?

Well that's something I realized a while back as well, the workshop bonus is only actually any help to me when I'm doing really low Force preps because of my magic 4.  Making a Force 4 prep with the workshop bonus, for example, I have the dice to regularly end up with more than 4 hits and have to take physical damage.  It's a conundrum.

whoops.

i meant 4x instead of 3x

[Poindexter]

so, the alarm Samuel set was for 10:00? That would put him getting to the club around 10:45 walking, 10:30 jogging, 10:20 sprinting like a madman. what time are you getting there?

[Poindexter]

and yeah, i assume you're trying to conceal the chameleon suit until such a time as you should need it.
you, of course, wont get to use the neeto stuff it does till ya put it all the way on, but also as far as it's armor rating, im gonna give it -2 while being worn improperly like this.

cool?

Cool. Yay for contacts! I'll have updated contacts sometime tomorrow.

[Poindexter]

Also, is Samuel carrying the helmet in one hand?

[Poindexter]

What time is Francis planning on being there and how is he getting there?
What's he bringing? what's he wearing?
