Nice! Added a lot of detail, and the timeline still checks out. It explains the character and his abilities nicely. Well done. :]

Assuming the other players are happy with it, no one has any rejections, I'd say this guy's accepted.

Now it's just a matter of tossing him into the crew. If you want that done soon, you might want to do something similar along the lines of Mark, and find an excuse for him to be at the party and get tangled up in Nova's problems.

Otherwise, he could be a peer/acquaintance of one of the crew that contacts them for a job (and ends up at the party and/or in Nova), be a random encounter of sorts post-mission, or found somewhere around the next quest. (Or any other idea that fits.)

Or two, with how fast our normal pace is at any given moment.


That's how long we'll talk about it while it's in progress, a week after which the collab will be complete.

Let's see how this looks....'tis a bit of a rough draft, but tell me what's up.


Looks pretty solid.

I'd say get some more details on his skills and give a better idea of how Errol fights or what he does to handle different problems (in and out of combat); weaknesses and strengths. Since he's not a soldier, one can't assume he just generally knows how to shoot and take shots (bad idea, anyways). Most players described skills/strategies through specifics of the jobs their character worked in, what the character did when they were bored, a more flat out description of the skills, etc.

Also, powers applies to any class with tech or biotic powers. Assuming you didn't already realize this and -want- any tech powers from the games, there's a bunch in some lists (Mass Effect 1, ME 2 and 3) that could be added to that part of the bio. If not, though, that's all good.

That's the main stuff, the rest is good. More explanation on why the father snapped (already partially unstable/control-freak/power-hungry and set off by a series of factors, or just a gradual build-up mixed with high hopes and expectations as an entrepreneur, or something else) would make it more solid, or more on Errol's criminal life. I'm not gonna push the former unless other players have a problem with it, since I can see how it would happen, and the latter's only an issue if you started recreating his history as you went along in the RP (detailing specific memories later is fine, just needs to fit with the character, rest of the history, etc.).
Hey Mahz, what's causing the nesting issue?

wait... Voltin, what am I getting involved with here? I'm so lost.I have no idea what plan I'm meant to be set on.


xD

You were trying to figure out what to do with Kas, and considered having her help Roland. If you're set on that plan, and have her go to the security room, it'd fit to add you to the collab that I and Volt/Grif/Voltaire are working on.

I'd actually advise against it, just on basic strategy. We'll have three of the team all together, two that are supposed to be sneaky and stealthy, and bringing four of them is only gonna get more attention.

Of course, the mission being at risk or screwed is cool-coolz too. That can be better to write than things working out.

@Tick or anyone else: Has the post involving Jeanna been recovered? If not, I'll have to improvise the details.


Not as far as I'm aware, no, sorry. :\ I looked as much as I could for the IC pages, but 8 was gone, and 9 only had the first post (by Sun). The end of page 7 was the giant Nova collab to decide the mission, which makes it pretty clear that the whole of the mission was wiped if it wasn't outside the site.

If Volt or anyone ever PM'ed RP poststuff, and had notifications for PMs to their emails, then the poststuff would be in their emails. But that's it.

Also, we have a few pending CS's, I see. We should probably actually figure out if/how we're going to integrate new characters into the story. Any ideas?


I'd base it a lot on the character and figure it out as we go. Worst comes to worst, they're a victim rescued or a new employee hired that managed to find Nova enough to turn in an application/request.
Legion! Good to see you finally join us. :] Mari's CS is saved in the GM posts.
You're slower than Grif.

Voltin said
Well I've started working on my part, so expect a PC from me in a few hours.Who all should I be inviting?


Other than you and myself, Voltaire and Grif. If Sunny D's set on his plan and wants to join, him as well.
We're open to new members, so you're welcome to join. :] Just throw up a CS and we'll take a look.

M'kay, as distracted as I am by my impressive new avatar, I'm gonna try really, really hard to have that collab started by the weekend. And by the weekend I mean my weekend, which starts Monday. Because the world revolves around me.


It'll be a weekend somewhere.

I'll be really busy Monday/Tuesday, just a warning.
For recap:

It's Kosso's mission. The plan is to scam an arrogant, (currently) powerful hanar (Luek), by faking as guests or servants to his investor/funding party for rich peeps on a yacht, during a giant storm on the hanar's home planet.

Going off memory here, but Jenna and Roland were supposed to be general support. Get some guns/weapons, watch out for the crew, get ready to help the ones in trouble, etc. Volt wrote how Jeanna was stuck with some old unpleasant fellow and Roland completely missed the hint that she wanted to get rid of said fellow.

Roland tried to wander the ship outside of the acceptable party room (since there's nothing much else at said party room), got caught by a guard, made the excuse he was going to the bathroom, and got thrown into the security room.

Tanya and Kosso are trying to eventually convince Luek to show them around, to get to the place where all his stuff is.
Marianna was finishing talking to her mother, last I read. Got some info out of it too, I think.
Tzvi and Kygg are infiltrating and all that as servants, going to the security room with faked permission (right now).
Kas and Steveo were distractions - Steveo freaked out the door guard and dressed in unique fashion to get attention (also made himself a Spectre). Kas starting talking tech, which caused a crowd arguing about tech near the bar.

Mark was a bodyguard of one of the -genuine- guests at the party, got fired, then got crowded at the bar by guests and caused a fight with one of the bodyguard (Quantum) bosses. He's in the security room with Roland.

I have a post mostly ready to go...but....I'm still trying to find a good way for Rena to "bump" into someone.


You could do **the rest of the post with her succeeding/failing in chasing/stalking the heroes down? It'd be more interesting than (for example) the classic accidental run-in -usually- is.
Maybe be harassing someone to help find them. Maybe getting them spotted by baddies in the process. :P

Edit: Just re-read "mostly ready to go.."
