Just need some PC connections, choose my numenera plans, and then pretty much finished.

I think I'd like you to choose or roll. For fun

Quote:
You owe money to a number of people around town and don’t have the funds to pay your debts.
D'Jazyt or 'Jaz' is... a failure.
Born to one of the wealthier families in Coopertown, in fact his mother was a Mine Surveyor and knew the secret of the portal and traveled through it often. These travels continued while she was pregnant, and those travels caused... mutations.
Though these mutations were minimal when he was younger it was enough for him to be different. Different people are treated worse.
He fell in with 'the wrong kind of crowd' who used him for his money. Until he was cut off, both because of his appearance and his connections.
To keep up his funds he tried to pick up gambling... which worked for a while, but the house always wins. Now he is on his last Shins.
Though don't take any of this to mean he's a bad person, just a bit too trusting. He is even quite intelligent, and can be quite useful to the person or party with enough insight to hire him. And buy his loyalty.

I've always been a gambler, I'll take whatever you think Emmett should have, whether by choice or dice roll.

Yeah- the pre picked are kinda ... lukewarm. I’d say DM pick or roll.
Apr 3, 2021 11:58 pm
I agree, my starting cyphers were meh, so I don't mind if you want to pick others.

Cool. I'll review your dudes add me dudettes tonight, assign some cyphers and oddities, and post the game start.

I haven't heard much from Gnome_Chomsky, but if he gets involved a little later that's okay. There's always a way forward in the Ninth World, haha.

Side note: I was thinking of coding Jaz's Nano abilities as mutations.?.

Well, here is my sheet, not sure if you will be able to see it, it needs a few details, for the connection it made sense it was emmet if thats okay: https://gamersplane.com/characters/numenera/18787/ also the tier one hability is supossed to give extras on might and speed but im not sure if they should ne aways in my pool

Lightwielder, please submit the character into the game. Click the Game Details at the lower right and then you'll see Submit A Character with a drop down box. I'll be able to view it then.

I'm kind of stuck as far as my Focus connections go: I guess I could just assign people to them but I don't like the idea of forcing another player into a role they may not want! Emmett volunteered for #3 (thank you!) If any of you would like to volunteer for one of the other connections, please let me know! (If Lyle falls short of connections I can always just ascribe that to him being a traveler).

1. Pick one other PC. This character was your companion on previous expeditions, and the two of you work so well together that you both
gain an asset to any die rolls to collaborate on the same task, fight the same foe, and so on.
(Jaz)

2. Pick two other PCs. You think you once saw them through a keyhole doing something illegal. You can choose whether or not to share
that information. The characters can choose whether it was really them (it could have been neither, one, or both), and they may or may
not share that information in return.

3. Pick one other PC. This person always seems to hear you, no matter how stealthy you try to be. (Emmett)

4. Pick one other PC. This character is so loud in everything they do that you feel obligated to try to help them learn to move more quietly through the world. Whether or not they’re interested is up to them.

I don't think you have to pick more than one if you don't want to, or if you/others feel like they don't quite fit.
Apr 4, 2021 1:13 pm
Oh- cool. I thought we had to do all four!
Apr 4, 2021 1:21 pm
No, they're entirely optional, and only one or two is normal.

Don't know who wants whatbas far as a connections
..
Connection: Choose one of the following.
1. Pick one other PC. This character seems put off by your nature as a mutant.
2. Pick one other PC. Although it is subtle, you suspect that this character might be a mutant with latent powers that she is not even aware of.
3. Pick one other PC. You have found this character to be supportive and helpful, despite your mutant nature.

I also still need a connection. Hope someone picks one of these...

1. Pick one other PC. In the recent past, while using your gravitational powers, you accidentally sent that character hurtling into the air or plummeting toward the ground. Either way, they barely survived. It is up to the player of that character to decide whether they resent, fear, or forgive you.

2. Pick one other PC whose focus intertwines with yours. This odd connection affects them in some way. For example, if the character uses a bow, your ability to manipulate gravity sometimes extends the range of their arrows. If they are good at jumping, they seem less bound by the laws of gravity, and jump farther.

3. Pick one other PC. They are deathly afraid of heights. Through your ability to control gravity, you would like to teach them how to be more comfortable with their feet off the ground. They must decide whether or not to take you up on your offer.

4. Pick one other PC. They are skeptical of your ability to control gravity and think it’s just one big illusion. They might even attempt to discredit you or discover the "secret" behind your so-called skills.

I'll take 1. How did you respond to throwing Jaz over a house?

Though 4 makes sense, I particularly like this one.

OK- we work well together, Jaz. Lets invent an expedition we went on together. I edited my post to reflect that I know your character.

3 seems to fit my character- Esp. since we have a solid work history behind us.
