Thanks for inviting!

I don't have a full character yet, but the reason why she is in the plane tell much about her.
She is a young Japanese, studying foreign culture at Tokyo University. She specializes in the US, and has come over to write her master thesis. She hopes to become a US-correspondant journalist for a Japanese newstation one day.

So my character will be Rain Walker, personal curator to wealthy tech billionaire O'Dell Barrera. Mr. Barrera sends Rain all over the world to collect and babysit whatever art piece or antique he recently bought or sold. He also dabbles in illicit drugs using his status to get large shipments through customs without scrutiny.

Rain became aware of her mule status 8 months ago and on this trip has lined her pockets with a little bonus. Barrera"s contact wanted to move something more than O'Dell was willing to risk. All Rain has to do is get into the crate before O'Dell and get the weird box to the Yakuza contact. Should be easy...right?

A Yakuza contact in Seattle?

Yes. Sorry. Seattle is where Rain and her boss currently call home. So she's returning home from Japan.

Im thinking of playing a female who was raised in Ethiopia by her Coptic mother.

Her father is an American who she knows very little of- he was a soldier of fortune there in the 90s when he met her mother.

Now she's been given a message summoning her to Japan for the reading of his will. . .

And after the reading, she was on a plane to SeaTac?

Oh wait, a plane from Japan to Sea Tac. . . yes?

I don't know! This is just the start here!

Thanks for the invite.

I am thinking to play a perfectly mundane man in his 30s, an interpreter and translator by profession.

He is American, and is returning from a work trip. He was in Tokyo for an international summit focused on sustainable energy, the agency he works for got him the gig.
Perhaps one of his parents is Japanese, which gave him an edge in that language, having grown up bilingual Japanese-American.

He is simply flying home, tired after a busy week abroad.

Newbie question:

In character creation we are prioritising Attributes Categories (primary, secondary, tertiary) to get the 5/4/3 dots to distribute on each category.

Does this priority order stay the same for Skills (to get the 11/7/4 dots to distribute on skills)?
So, if I chose Physical as my primary category for Attributes, does that choice also determine that Physical must be my primary category also for skills?

Or can you have Physical as primary category for Attributes, and say Social as primary category for Skills?

@Dr_B Your last statement is how it goes.

Skills and Attributes are not tied together at all. You may indeed have Physical Attributes be the primary (5) and Mental Attributes be tertiary (3) and then do the opposite in Skills, or have Social Skills be Primary and Physical as Secondary.

The only restriction per the rules is no stealing from one pool to give to another at creation.

Thank you @AutomAtomic

Small note on the Character Sheet. Under Social Attributes, that Resolve should be Composure. Resolve is a Mental Attribute and is correct there.
May 13, 2023 5:19 pm
Good catch, I didn't notice that. Easy to fix.

I submitted my character sheet, please take a look @MaJunior

here is some background and a portrait, for all to see:

Nice. I also have my character completed and submitted, so I'll provide a short bio to into her like Dr_B did for Stan.
[ +- ] Rain Walker
May 14, 2023 6:40 pm
Same here.

Characters are looking good!

I decided I'm going to start you off a little more experienced. To that end...

Attributes - 1 point
Skills - 1 point in one category, 1 point in a different category
Specialties - +1
Merits - 2 points

(Note that as points, these follow the same rules as during creation -- meaning it takes 2 points for the 5th dot in anything.)

I expect we'll be starting either Monday or Teusday. I'm looking forward to playing with all of you.
