I'll apply too since the other thread seems to be on hiatus. Using the other character that I decided to not use in the other thread.pre:Vance "The Trapper", A clever nano who talks to machines An unassuming man with a perpertual tired look on his face, Vance is an explorer and researcher of sorts. Born with an uncanny knack for the manipulation of the numenera and a clever mind capable of deciphering their workings, he makes a living by using his talents to search the ruins of the past for usable devices. Vance earned his nickname with his tendency to use his environment as a weapon by luring his opponents into positions where he can knock them into environmental hazards or take them out with hijacked heavy machinery. Vance has been working as an assistant for a local numenera merchant, performing mechanic work and doing supply runs, to replenish his reagents and gear, after an incident with a teleportation device in some ruins left him stranded halfway across the world bereft of his possessions. Links/Connections: - From afar, Vance observed that something interesting was going on. (Clever) - Vance knows a local merchant very well. Since he gives them so much business, they offer him discounts and special treatment. (Nano) - _____ seems to have a terrible relationship with machines. (Talks to machines) Tier: 1 Effort: 1 Pool/Edge: - Mgt: 10/0 - Spd: 12/0 - Int: 14/1 Skills: - Numenera, Trained - Machine Affinity, Trained - Lies/Trickery, Trained - Mental Defense, Trained - Identifying/Assessing, Trained Passive Abilities: - Inability: Lore/Knowledge/Understanding - Practiced with light weapons Active Abilities/Esoteries: - Distant Activation (1 Int) - Push (2 Int) - Scan (2 Int) Gear: - A loose grey mechanic's jumpsuit, a long brown cargo vest and a worn brown rain poncho - Wrist crossbow (Dart thrower: Light, 2 Dmg, Long range) - 12 darts - A book about numenera - Bag of small tools Cyphers, 3/3: - ? - ? - ? Oddities: - ? Valuables: - 14 Shins

Elfface posted:Ah, thanks very much! I'm fine with this. As for my own connections: - From afar, Vance observed that something interesting was going on. (Clever) --A good setup for this connection would be Vance running into either Nara or Custo, or both, in either his patron's shop or while out running errands. Vance would be pretty interested in cyborgs and androids. - Vance knows a local merchant very well. Since he gives them so much business, they offer him discounts and special treatment. (Nano) --This would be the merchant that that Vance has been working for. I'll let Saberwulf come up with the details or assign some merchant NPC from the adventure into this role. - _____ seems to have a terrible relationship with machines - or at least the machines that you communicate with. If they are next to a machine that you interact with in a friendly manner, that machine is treated in all ways as being one level lower than normal (unless doing so benefits you or them, in which case the level does not change) (Talks to machines) --This is open, but I'd suggest Bardakos if Friar John is OK with it. Mainly because the rest of the party is pretty technology heavy between three nanos and a mechanical jack and I wouldn't want to make other peoples stuff work worse.

Sorry for being quiet for a while, I've been keeping up with the thread but Vance has pretty much agreed with everything the party has said and done thus far and I didn't want to blow the situation up into a fight or make a boring me too post where I just repeat what someone else has already said.

As an aside, I'm playing Vance's and Custo's connection as not religious/superstitious but as Vance being amazed because of the existence of something as complex as fully functioning spacetime manipulating android that doesn't have thought processes that are completely alien to humans and has survived who knows how many collapses of civilization.

I'm just going to say that I'm going to get that car and fix it up even if I have to spend every shin I have, cannibalize all of my cyphers for parts and spend all of my XP on rerolls.

I've no problem with continuing either.

I can continue too, I think. Depends on whether Vance's character sheet is still up somewhere.

Oh, good. The IC thread hasn't fallen into archives yet, which is good since the character sheet that I actually kept updated with gear and xp was in that thread. E: I bumped the IC thread just in case, since I don't know the archival cutoff date for the game room. Oo Koo fucked around with this message at 17:31 on Aug 26, 2014 |

I just updated my character sheet in the game thread. Apparently I'm now collecting crystal monster parts? I hadn't even realized that I've looted body parts from both crystal monsters we've encountered.

I caught a cold this weekend, so I might be too tired to post for a couple of days.
