The Mage - you're welcome to join in. I'm treating it as first come, first served and if we get CS's from everyone and they all stay, we'll be over my original cap, but still managable. I'd expect a few drop-outs based on previous experience though.

Swift, your character looks fine. You can join in the IC right away, your character can be waiting for us on the aircraft carrier.
The only thing I will add is a word of caution - Someone played a deliberately abrasive and snarky character in a previous version of GEARs, and they didn't do it especially well: they insulted someone's dead comrades in their first appearance and got punched in the face for it, and nobody bothered talking to them IC because they were so unpleasant, and their player 'didn't expect everyone to hate them', despite playing them as a dick.

I'm not saying don't play them as snarky and sarcastic - but make sure they have some likable and redeeming qualities too, so they don't get left out or ignored and hated!

Alright, will-do. I've played this character before in a similar scenario, so I'm pretty well-versed in how to make sure she isn't useless IC. I'll post in a few hours. I have class pretty soon.
