  1. Re: Ctrl+V Al-Salam Alaiykoom
  2. Re: Ctrl+V Bodie McLean grew up on the rough streets of Los Angeles. He's been back a couple of times, but not since the Quake of '09 dumped half the city in the ocean (there's a running joke that calls the earthquake 'urban improvement'). Kids who grow up the way Bodie did generally have two choices; one, they turn to crime, or two, they make the much harder transition to violence for hire, and become street mercenaries. The very best of these are called 'street samurai'. Bodie's been one for some years now. Bodie made his first foray into the quasi-legal world of 'have gun will travel' when he was eighteen; in the ensuing two decades and more, he has risen through the ranks to become a recognised force in his own right, from being a follower to a leader. In this time, he has travelled to distant places, and faced foes he never would have imagined. The cumulative effects of injuries have forced him to take cybernetic and bioware enhancements, some of which he could barely afford. But those same enhancements have saved his life on more than one occasion, so he isn't complaining. Bodie's last mission was to hit an R&D company which was researching some esoteric tech. This tech turned out to include a prototype dimensional door. It would not have worked, but when Bodie blew it up, the power surge weakened the fabric of the universe enough that ... ... over in Reich-5, scientists working for the Ahnenerbe-SS parachronic division suddenly had a success on a project which had been reading a flat zero for months. The idea was to pull in a living human being from another parallel - any human, any parallel - and interrogate him (or her) for local conditions. The ultimate goal, of course, was to create a fully-functional two-way gate. What they got was Bodie. Severely stunned by the explosion (he had been in a firefight seconds before) and the very rough transit, he did not put up much of a fight. So they had him down and sedated and under interrogation before he fully regained his wits. Of course, at this point, things started going wrong for them. There were several facts about Bodie that they didn't know, and all of these would cost them dearly. Firstly, he has internal nanobots designed to flush poisons out of his body; by the time they got past "what is your name?" he was mostly lucid, though still faking it. The interrogation drugs gave him a mild buzz, nothing more. Secondly, he has implanted ceramic blades between his knuckles, invisible to 90% of scanning methods. So when he spat out blood (from biting the inside of his mouth) and faked a seizure, they panicked and undid one of his restraints. They never got a chance to regret their mistake. Thirty seconds later, he left that room, dragging one of the scientists with him. Everyone else was dead, from either blunt trauma, slashing trauma or bullet wounds - they had left his equipment in the same room. Five minutes after he left the facility, with alarm bells still shrilling, the building blew up; he was trained in demolitions, after all. A rough and ready interrogation of the scientist gave him an idea of the world he was in. Eager to see the back of him, the scientist also told him about the Chronobahn - a transdimensional 'highway' that could be accessed under the right circumstances, and be used to travel from reality to reality. He thanked the man before he broke his neck. Under the circumstances, a live witness was something he did not need. Upon locating the Chronobahn, he began exploring it. Apparently his personal 'trigger' was the light of the full moon; after midnight, the hexagonal stones of the 'bahn would stretch much farther than possible during the day, disappearing into misty obscurity in both directions. So he began exploring it. From time to time, he located a Reich-5 outpost, and he did what he did quite well - he killed them. It took the high command of the Raven Division some time to catch on to the fact that there was a lone operative stalking and killing off their outtime personnel, but eventually they did. And so they dispatched Jager-teams, seeking him with orders to kill without mercy. He's met some of them. Occasionally they put up a good fight. Bodie McLean is a tall, grizzled man with a neatly trimmed vanDyke and shoulder-length hair. He wears a broad-brimmed hat and a long-coat, as well as a pack of supplies. His weaponry includes paired auto pistols, a high-end TL9 assault rifle, and a katana (because you can't be a street samurai without owning a katana). The more obvious weaponry can be stashed in a duffel bag he generally keeps folded up in the pack. He can be found on basically any world where Reich-5 has a presence, or may be scouting for potential incursions, or that he has a suspicion that they might have wandered on to.

  5. Re: Ctrl+V Ryu Hayabusa awoke with a start. He lurched upright in the bed, sweat running down his brow. It took only a moment for him to regain his bearings and ascertain where he was: Lord Murai’s private guest room, replete with the finest linens and lit by softly burning torches and a plethora of candles. But why was he here? He looked down and saw that he was dressed in a white silk robe, one reserved for recovering war heroes. Ryu swung his legs over the bedside and stood. A dull ache formed across his back and he remembered.

  11. Re: Ctrl+V As for Lecherousness in particular being worth that many points? It depends on how harsh your GM is. In some campaigns it is basically a quirk, in others you find yourself under constant attack from jealous boyfriends, irate husbands and over-protective fathers (disputes over sexual relations are probably the most common trigger event for personal violence worldwide, I imagine). In the end the GM has to make a judgement about how many points a disadvantage is worth and then decide how hard to screw the player over it. If you take a five point addiction to tobacco in one of my games I will make sure that eventually you will be stranded in the wilderness and drop your fags in a river. Every disadvantage will eventually come into play and those which I think are overvalued will just happen to be a problem more often.
  12. Re: Ctrl+V Lucifer-7 (aka Neon Genesis Evangelion ) Current year: 2015 Current Affairs: 15 years after the Second Impact, Tokyo-3, a militarized civilian city located on one of the last dry sections of Japan, is attacked by the first of a series of strange organisms referred to as Angels. Conventional weapons are found to be ineffective, but the paramilitary organization NERV has succeeded in developing biomechanical mecha, the Evangelions, (or Evas), which are capable of intercepting the Angels. Divergence Point: The Second Impact occurs in Antarctica in 2000, destroying the contient and causing the Earth's axis to tilt, radically altering the planet's climate (The true nature of 2nd Impact and the Angels is unknown to Infinity and Centrum at this time) Major Civilisations: Western (Multipolar), Japanese (Unitary), Arab (Multipolar) Great Powers: NERV (UN Special Agency); The United Nations have effectively become a world government. Worldline Data: TL: 8 Mana Level: No Mana Quantum: 6 Infinity Class: R5 (under revision) Centrum Zone: Orange Infinity discovered this world 10 years after Second Impact, and classified it as a Lucifer world. Infinity's activities on Lucifer-7 involve trying to remove Centrum influence on the United Nations and investigating the activities of NERV following the recent appearance of the Angels. Centrum is currently attempting to acquire more influence on the UN council, and has only become infiltrating NERV as a reaction to the Angels' appearance. Neither Infinity nor Centrum are aware of the true nature of the Second Impact and the Angel threat.

  15. Re: Ctrl+V Teijo keeps his bow trained towards the entrance, while Annika charges into the cave. Tamora takes a step into the cave while Erogar peeks over the corner. They see something horrible - a living humanoid-like creature seemingly made completely out of blood! The blood drips off the creature constantly and it leaves a red trail behind, as it races towards Annika. Erogar's stomach fails and he immediately vomits. Tamora is frozen on the spot and keeps gasping for air, her eyes widened open. Cormac enters a blind rage and rushes after Annika. The two berserkers charge into the fray fearlessly, while the others fail to make their feet work. Erogar The mass of roiling blood consumes Erogar's vision and his knees weaken. He leans against the cave wall for support, and before he can collect himself the shock prompts a fit of retching. He avoids looking down the cave towards the foul monster, and only keeps his peripheral vision on the starting fray.
