Character Creation

Probably happy at first as it was an unexpected power manifesting. The regret when it became clear how serious the injuries were.

Phoenix, I'll take this one. Emmett has dealt with too much to judge people on anything but their actions. You could be a floating crystal (which was apparently an option in the Destiny book), and he'd still treat you how he felt you deserve to be treated. Good for good, bad for bad. Since Emmett and Jaz both spent plenty of time in Cooperstown, I feel like they'd know each other somewhat well.

Oops, missed that SenorDeebs (Lyle) grabbed that one. S'ok, Emmett will still treat you well ;)

Qralloq, was there an end decision for what cyphers go to who, or is that for later? (not rushing, just putting finishing touches on a document to help me keep everything straight)

I like to have a good mental image of a game and its characters as we get started, so here's what I've got so far for everyone:


PhoenixScientist - D'Jazyt (Jaz) - Mutant Nano who Constantly Evolves

Grew up in Cooperstown to a wealthy family. Mom kept waltzing through spooky portal while pregnant, so Jaz was born with chromosomes that looked like alphabet soup.

Connections: Y'breq threw Jaz over a house, injuring him. Jaz thought it was awesome until he saw his bones poking out.
Connections: Jaz and Lyle were companions on an expedition and work well together.
Connections: Jaz found Lyle to be supportive and helpful, despite Jaz's mutant nature.
Connections: Jaz suspects Turana might be a mutant with latent powers she's not aware of.


nezzeraj - Y'breq - Imaginative Write who Controls Gravity

Backstory not listed yet.

Connections: Y'breq threw Jaz over a house, injuring him. Jaz thought it was awesome until he saw his bones poking out.


lightwielder - Turana Alpa - Inquisitive Nano who Fuses Flesh and Steel

A former member/apprentice of the Convergence, she's got machinery plugged in all over her that leaves her with a real Dr. Doom vibe. Bailed out of there because she's not a fan of bureaucracy.

Connections: Bonded with Emmet over their shared difficulty with airport security and metal detectors.
Connections: Jaz suspects Turana may be a mutant with powers she doesn't know about yet.


SenorDeebs - Lyle Martej - Curious Jack who Explores Dark Places

Born in the Hollow Gourd Burrow and has a dangerous sense of curiosity. Probably the guy that unleashed the Balrog in Lord of the Rings. Joined a smuggler's clan called Indep, stumbled upon Cooperstown while trafficking goods. He's slowly building a business and home there, feels like there's another layer to the town.

Connections: Emmett has a way of hearing Lyle, no matter how stealthy Lyle tries to be.
Connections: Lyle once saved Emmett's life during a botched surgery. God did not intend man to have 12 fingers, apparently.
Connections: Jaz and Lyle were on an expedition together and are work BFFs, great partners.
Connections: Jaz has always found Lyle to be supportive and helpful, despite Jaz's mutant nature (Probably extra fingers. Lucky.)


skeptical_stun - Emmett Ashford - Beneficent Glaive who Augments Flesh with Grafts

Former soldier from a small state who had a rough time as a scout/test subject in a brutal war. Settled in Cooperstown as a lawman and fell in love with the people there. His author is smart, good-looking, and suave. Everyone is super jealous.

Connections: Emmett has a way of hearing Lyle, no matter how stealthy Lyle tries to be.
Connections: Lyle once saved Emmett's life during a botched surgery.
Connections: Emmett and Turana bonded over their belief of improving themselves with implants and difficulty with magnetism.


Gnome_Chomsky -

Very well organized! Thanks for doing that!

Review of Lyle
- fill in Tier = 1.
- fill in recovery is 1d6+1
- fill in current pools equal to maximums
Rest looks good.

Review of Jaz
- fill in recovery is 1d6+1
- you don't have a skill in Light weapons. You're Practiced which means you don't suffer a penalty. You've left the Trained button blank which maybe works.
- you are Trained in Understanding Numenera. Toggle the radio button to the right and you'll see options for (T)rained or (S)pecialized
-Onslaught had two forms: physical which fires 4 damage, and mindslice which does 2 but ignores armor. You choose which you are using with each attack, not just one.
- mutations: mutations are exceptionally powerful and can be gamed for intense benefits. As such, they are always rolled randomly. I don't see where you rolled for these. Point me to that please?

Review of Emmett
- you are Trained in several things. Toggle the radio button to the right and you'll see options for (T)rained or (S)pecialized, rather than leaving that blank
- fill in recovery is 1d6+1
Rest looks good

Review of Turana
- fill in recovery is 1d6+1
- fill in Effort = 1
- add in your points for Enhanced Body. These are permanent
- your descriptor was mislabeled as Inquisitive instead of Intuitive. (Made it harder to find, haha)
Rest looks good

Review of Y'breq
- fill in recovery is 1d6+1
- fill in current pools equal to maximums
Rest looks good

Five for five on the recovery roll, but to be fair that's buried on page 111. It's 1d6+ your tier, and you start at Tier 1.

I'll assign cyphers and oddities shortly

Bah, I usually pride myself on nailing the character sheet. I had the recovery roll on the character sheet I keep on my phone, but missed it on the GP one. Thanks for catching that and the radio button for T/S!

Also, can I buy a bow with the money given to me at character creation?

Yeah, you can buy a bow. Note that you can't use your shield with a two hand weapon, whether it's a metal arm or an actual shield, in case you simply want to swap the shield for a bow.

My plan is to use either just the bow, just the Halberd (big robot leg), or the shield (arm) and punch stuff as a light weapon.

When Emmett earns a bit of money, he'll pick up a medium weapon to use with the shield.

Thanks, I'll deduct 3 shins and add a bow.

Sorry. I didnt roll them here. You want me to rerollor just roll future ones in character creation?

I have everything else done.

You can keep them, but only if you let me give you another negative mutation, my choice.

Ooh, a deal. I love a good deal with the devil DM.

Ok updated.

Ooh. Deal.
I shouldnt gamble so much.

Ooh , now i see it , i got confused with the 1st ed character guide, inquisitive was showing up there, sorry, I f thats okay i would the use the "curious" descriptor then, i really dont see myself playing a intuitive PC, i suck at it.. but wil use your feedback with the other things. if it somehow choosing curious over intiutive messes up the game you planned just let me know and i will attemp to roleplay some good intuition :s

No problem, make the character the way you want it. Now's the time to make changes.

Thanks, i just updated it, I hope its ready, i changed the weapon to a club to add a harley quinn touch to this poor dr doomish girl ;)
