Gatito, the Juggernautpre:Look: concealed, scrounged bodysuit, worried face, haunted eyes, wiry body Stats: Cool+1 Hard +1 Hot=0 Sharp +2 Weird-1 Moves: Beast of War: When you are in your suit, roll +Sharp instead of +Hard to seize by force or go aggro. Additionally, you count as a small gang when in battle, as long as you are in your suit. Walk through Walls: You have tools to break walls, fortifications or other structures. When you try to smash through something, roll +Hard. On a 10+ you batter your way through okay, on a 7-9 choose one: • you collapse it onto yourself and are briefly trapped; • it’s too strong to knock down; • it’s going to take some time. On a miss, you’ll probably be stuck or trapped halfway through. Gear: -Oddments worth 2-barter -a denim jacket and cargo pants -9mm (2-harm close loud) -Armor --Hi-Tech --Reliable --Exotic Fuel --Flamethrower (3-harm close area fire) --Power Fist (3-harm hand messy) Hx: Lin: Drift: +2 Mask: +3 Grim: +1 Keymaster: =0 ROADSIDE: +1 Captain Foo fucked around with this message at 01:49 on Jun 11, 2015 |

GatitoZurui posted:How hard is it to leave your suit, and when was the last time you did? Why are you so afraid of leaving it behind? When you're alone, what do you try not to think about? 47 days ago, and it's difficult. Physically and mentally. I can barely get it off myself, but I can. Last time I needed to put a new rod of 235 in the suit. The wrench-head couldn't figure out the slotting, but she did have the fuel, so off it came. I'm sure you don't like to be naked, do you? I was reborn in this suit, and it gives me a role. Alone I am nothing and would not survive, wouldn't be. Perhaps the old me would be able to survive, but he's gone. Alone. That's when I see Barnard's Boys. They hired me for a wrecking job. But what they did to the Farm? So, so much worse.

GatitoZurui posted:Bonus questions: Why did you come to this hold? Where are you staying while inside? What has you off-balance, paranoid, or otherwise nervous? Fill in the blank parts of the map and show me what's up with your character right now. I'm here in A-Town because this was where the convoy went to. The Captain paid me pretty good to be some muscle guarding the water trucks from The Falls. Right now I've got some space in the blockhouse here. Some of the goons are giving me the stank eyes because I don't live here and I'm getting two good bunks. Then again, wouldn't want to see me try to fit in one. Besides, the Captain paid for it anyway. On the other hand, nobody's yet approached me for another contract, and that doesn't usually take very long. Wonder if I'm being set up. Wouldn't be the first time.

Gatito You and I, Drift, made the run from the Republic of Dave through Hi-top territory to Reek Town. And back. Alone. Me on the back, you behind the wheel. And that [i]cargo[i] in the seat next to you. It was a much more interesting run than the one that brought me to A-Town, that's for sure. I add +1 to what you tell me. ROADSIDE. It's you. You're the walking traffic cone I barely saw when the 235 ran low and I was cooking alive out in the Bleachlands. I was outside pulling every option part I could down, but it wasn't enough. You walked by and gave me a bolt. A single bolt. With no nut. And didn't say a word. An hour later I was picked up, but you were long gone. I add -1 to what you tell me. Mask and your Knots. There was a roadwar between the Noonriders and the Salt Riggers. Lots of good swag in that mess. Nobody won, except for you. That fight was one of the biggest messes I've ever been a part of, and the suit paid for it, crunched the legs right under a Mack. Y'all swept in fifteen minutes later and picked up the salvage, and me. Figured the least you could do for scoring you all that scrap was a tow to wherever it was you were going, I don't really remember. Stuck me on a sledge and you dumped me off near the local savvy's yard. Called herself Quagga. Haven't seen you since, but the Knots are good in my book. I write +3. Everyone, write +0. I don't make a thing about being too friendly.

Mercy may be a tent-town, but doesn't it at least have a bunch of hi-tech and batteries because of the solar farm and all?

yo rock let's clarify: if gatito has been with you since before he made colonel but also hasn't seen Lin since captain, i think there's a disconnect. Either the bond should be closer at start of game or we have a hook but no real Hx. I'm open to either but I don't think the fiction matches the mechanic as it stands

Green Intern posted:I think I have a misunderstanding of how you inflict Harm in this game. Is that Go Aggro or Seize by Force? Both? it can be either. When you Go Aggro, you're threatening someone with violence. If they fold, you get what you wanted. If they force your hand, you can fold or you can inflict harm as established, which basically means you hit them with whatever weapon you were using to threaten them. When you Seize By Force, you're going in guns blazing, at the minimum exchanging harm for harm. You can even inflict harm as the result of Acting Under Fire, depending on the fiction. There's no particular "inflict harm" move. However, the Harm Move is an optional move the MC can have you roll after suffering harm (even 0-harm) to see if there are any complications beyond advancing your harm clock.

Error 404 posted:Both. Seize by Force is by far more of the "gently caress you" move.

Doubleposting to quote myself from the AW discussion threadquote:Go Aggro is "I want something OR I will hurt you." Manipulate with violence as leverage is "I want something, and I could hurt you if I don't get it." Seize is "I want something AND I am hurting you to get it."

Rockopolis posted:Nifty, sounds like I've got a conspiracy to unravel. I hope hiding the body buys me a little time as the other side tries to figure out what the hell's going on. Reading the sitch charges the situation if it wasn't already, but you also only get certain answers. I don't think it's what you want to do here. I'd just ask the mc directly, if you're under time pressure it might be auf.

Zurui posted:You should take it as a great compliment that I had to review the rulebook to determine if I could even deal harm past Gatito's armor with a loving rocket launcher. yeah there's a reasonable chance with the weaponry as described Gatito could have just walked up to and then murdered everyone on the fire truck, but I thought setting up the return was actually more interesting

Zurui posted:Foo, I am not usually a stickler for position, but the Destroyer is still a hundred yards or so away. That means that it action can happen, but Mask and the Knots get a chance to act first. Not going to be able to make significant changes so let's just roll with whatever causes the most fire

Making the assumption the wreckage of the Judas Priests' convoy has a decent amount of loot in it...

Oh, well then. Gat will easily not take a full share, he was never in it for the loot anyway.
