GGG XI: We shall all hang together

[Orctavius]

Sorry this is coming in late, but I think this looks workable. He was made using Test Drive v.6. I haven't played Savage Worlds before, so let me know what you think. Also my equipment list is less thought out than Gaylord's. Should probably beef it up a little.

I'm going to make a scientist. I will roll him/her up today at work based on the Test Drive. I'll bring a character sheet. I'll also post here ASAP. But I've got to do some real work first.

See you all tonight!

I only recommend that at least one member of the party take an Arcane Background.

And I'll increase your power levels a bit. No worries - we will cover Advances and so on at the table.

Does scientist count as "Arcane"? My character will be studying snake stuff.

[salvagebar]

Arcane Background means that you take one of the Arcane Backgrounds as an Edge. You can have Knowledge (Science) or Knowledge (Ophi-tech) or Knowledge (Ophiology); all of those would be useful. But the Arcane Backgrounds - Magic, Miracles (faith-powered), Psionics, Ophi-Tech (Weird Science) - actually let you use the Powers in the Explorer's Ed. I will bring a guide to the powers in TDAR.

OK here is my character. Made as best I can.

Name: Efraim al-Rashid bin Ibrahīm
Concept: A Pakistani chemical engineering professor turned ophi-tech engineer since the fall. He wants to discover more and more about ophi-tech.
Appearance: Dark skinned, glasses, kinda short, salt and pepper hair. He looks like a professor. Nothing special.
Backstory: The town I lived in and taught in was destroyed just after the fall by some battle (I don't even know who was fighting who). I escape alone and I've been just trying to stay alive and learn more about Ophi-tech ever sense.
Catch phase: If I can understand it then I can more effectively survive it up.

My native language is Arabic, but I speak passable english (I learned it years ago because I'm a scientist).

Hindrances:
Elderly

Edges:
Ophi-tech (weird science) Background

If you guys could bring back any handouts that you took at the end of session one, I would appreciate it.

We will be having a 4th PC join us in session two, and it would make my life much easier.

[dr.entropy]

Yep. sorry for the late arrival---still need to put together a character!

[gaylord500]

Sadly, probably no Friday for me. But, you have my character if you need someone to be uncomfortable and British-y.

You are talking about Fri the 30th right? There is no session tonight.

Just thought I'd chip to make sure there was not confusion.
