Hmmm, I thought to have him invested in UFO conspiracies and such. I will adjust the aspects later today. Yes, Science (Physics) is his best attribute.

@Alepous With your UFO conspiracy angle I'm thinking your character and mine could have some history because you regularly request signals data from the Orbital Communications Service (ORBCOMM). So I've probably either received your requests, asked you about them, or sent you data regularly enough that we're acquainted.

@virtualbasement yes, why not? I may know you through our correspondence but never met you.

@alepous Sounds good to me.

Phase 2, Tanner adding on to Phillip's story.
[ +- ] Taking out the Stateless Syndicate
Aspect: Married to the work

Phase 2 for Phil. Adding to natknight's story.
[ +- ] Sometimes all you need is a criminal
I'm not sure yet about the aspect I want to get from this. If anyone has a suggestion, feel free.
Since I've already got "I know a guy", I'd like to go for something that doesn't overlap too much with that.

I'm thinking Stay inside the grey part of the law or On the wrong side of the law. Something like that.

What if your first aspect was something like "Johnny Law knows me," and make your second aspect more the "I know a guy" type?

I kind of like "On the wrong side of the law" in that it could be used negatively to find reasons that you'd turn up with a record but could be used positively to say you have general familiarity with criminal actions and give you a bonus for picking a lock or doing something sneaky.

I could also see something like 'I'm an Informant!' which (if you encountered future legal trouble) could keep you out of a major sentence but could be compelled to force you into adventures like the one you describe or make other bad guys have a grudge against you because they've found out you can't be trusted with secrets, etc.

Thanks for the suggestions, guys. :)
I think On the wrong side of the law encompasses the other ones too in a way. So I'm gonna go for that one.

I've been using this page, in case you don't have the book.

I have the book too. Thanks.

(FYI--I've started a new thread get things going and capture the start of the adventure itself once we've got all the characters finalized. I'll just be setting up some NPCs and such for posting while we're getting ready.)

I made a small change to my skills. I switched Fight and Rapport since my stunt relies on Rapport. I now have +0 fight and +3 rapport.

I'm not sure if you wanted us to add to the new thread already, but I did :P
Feel free to delete if it's too soon.

That sounds good, and everyone should feel free to post.

Phase 2
Gavin was used to fielding all sorts of requests from individuals and research facilities looking to get connected to the Orbital Communications network or get data from it. Even when that Riemann guy started asking regularly for data on possible vehicle-related network interference, Gavin was quick to assist. ORBCOMM members decided to make Gavin the official head of request contacts, a job which he was pretty much doing anyway. Gavin got a couple of other people on his team, coached them, wrote documentation, and created a training program for contact personnel. Underneath it all, Gavin simply likes to do a good job.

Aspect: This Guy's Pretty Good at Getting Things Done
Sep 4, 2024 4:17 pm
Phase 3, building on virtualbasement's story:
[ +- ]
Aspect: Validate, then Delegate; don't Over-Cogitate
Sep 11, 2024 3:10 pm
@Alepous, have you got an idea about your Phase 1 and 2 yet? I'd like to connect my character to yours in my Phase 3.
Sep 16, 2024 10:15 am
No, I haven't though of anything concrete. :( Give me a day to think of it.

Phase 1
Dr Richard Riemann arrived at the colony just as he finished the university in the Core Worlds. A prodigy physicist he was excited to work at the far end of the Universe. This happened almost 30 years ago. He knows a lot about planets and little about people.

This opportunity to study the strange phenomena is one on a lifetime event and he is excited to be picked for the team. He will do his best to get a contact with the source, even if it is the last thing he will do.
