Buggy Swires.

Buggy is a 65 year old, former dog catcher. A cantankerous drunk who blames society's ills on the rise of multiculturalism, he suffers from gout and carries an overweight, flatulent, fox terrier (also suffers from gout) called Pinochet whom he despises, but now cares for after the recent passing of his wife Millicent.

His mobility is limited to a motorised scooter (top speed 11kmp/h) and attached trailer, home to his beloved goose Mr Downer and dubbed by local wags as the Goose Wagon.

He holds a gun license and owns a gun safe.

And one more important thing I forgot to mention: everyone is healthy. You can be old and weak and flabby and unimpressive physically, but no one has heart disease, gout, cancer, or any permanent disabilities or injuries, even if your lifestyle might make the odds of that happening very good, you're just that lucky!

You ride goose wagon not because you need to but because everyone else needs you to.

XyloJW posted:

your wagon is not part of your character! Strength would be how much the guy can lift, but didn't you say he was 70?

XyloJW posted:

You will not need to trade for that, I have something in mind to help you there, if your character is going the way I think he is going.

65 years old - Retired.

A cantankerous drunk who blames society's ills on the rise of multiculturalism, he suffers from gout and carries an overweight, flatulent, fox terrier (also suffers from gout) called Pinochet whom he despises, but now cares for after the recent passing of his wife Millicent.

As a former dog catcher he retains a firm grasp of the law (in particular, council by laws) and a keen understanding of the canine mind.

He is handy with a tool box and was an avid driver and outdoors-man in his youth, as evidenced by his heavily modified mobility scooter and Goose Wagon (home to his beloved goose, Mr Downer)

He holds a gun license and practises regularly since even the recently elected Liberal government does not adequately assuage his fears of foreign invaders, if only there were another party that better represented his views...

Dex is fine but I think you misspent your freebies. You have 2 extra in skills (4 points), 3 extra in knowledges (6 points), and 3 extra in willpower (3 points).

XyloJW posted:

You get 10 freebie points to spend in addition to everything else. 5 points buys you an Attribute, 2 points buys you an ability, 1 point buys you a willpower.

You have 7/5/3 attributes, so you're fine there. For abilities, you have 15/9/8, instead of 13/9/5, which means you bought 5 abilities for 10 points, and then you have 7 willpower instead of the normal 4, which means you spent 3 there. You're 3 points over, so whether you want to take away 2 skills and get an extra willpower, or drop a willpower and a skill, or all 3 willpower is up to you.


I checked everyone's math and they all worked out.

No room for me huh?

Haha, this is going to be great. I already love not having any clue what the gently caress's going on with Mills. It's going to suck when school holidays are over and work speeds up and I can't keep F5-ing all day.

E: I never understood why galah is supposed to be an insult, by the way. However many L's you spell it with. Galahs are adorable.

I'm pretty happy with everyone's performance by the way. There were other great decisions but I can't say which ones just yet.

Oi Lizard Combatant, I didn't take the gun you dork. Accidently blowing my dick off was what I was avoiding

Alf puts the gourd back into the bag. He smiles at Selene's comment and replies "Ailsa made a fancy pumpkin risotto at the diner one time, that did something too. I always kept stocked up on white king since then"

Lizard Combatant, I moved the scene forwards because everyone needed to know that Blacktail was leaving the scene, but if you'd like to ask any questions or continue roleplaying that scene with Blacktail for a little bit before you both leave, which would make sense since he kinda left you hanging, then that'd be cool.

What the gently caress man, when do you sleep.

Also on the subject of Don Bradman's bat - some context. Don Bradman is the closest thing Australia has to a saint - and that's including Mary McKillop. He is such a giant of the game that modern players have on several occasions retired just shy of record-breaking scores to preserve Bradman's record.

Basically I'm saying that bat is touched by something divine and belongs in whichever plane of existence in which it deigns to reside.

When he was trying to sneak into his apartment and the floorboard creaked? Didn't do anything really though.

Wanna see Buggy Squires drive the ute into the lake.

XyloJW posted:

Isn't your Drive skill 4? And your Wits and Dex 3? Your guy's like a stunt driver practically.

Bifauxnen posted:

I could also see Swires sitting through all these rites only to never bother turning into a werewolf, just operating as our getaway stunt driver.

Sorry to be the one to tell you this mate, even in the Shire the goosewagon stands out in a crowd.

Mills, Lizard Combatant, you two are the only ones who haven't finished learning your stuff.
