A new option for "free" characters has opened up: By searching among the Mnesis Codex, characters who have been lost deep in the depths of time, plane, space and dimension, consigned to lost abysses, or so on can be resurrected!

you know what screw this i'm in, it's hack looking for his twin sister (i'll make the character later) all he remembers is that even when he last saw her, at age seven, she was an extremely powerful Psychic,

Post her to Character Creation too, BTW. So bringing along any NPCs?

well, Krane would be helpful but i'd loose taklinn (he woulden't volontarily come along if he knew Krane was coming) hack is'nt going to bring along any male characters seeing as he dosen't want to kill them for hitting on his sister (yes he's a bit of a redneck)

Thn Quion will be a problem, though Quion wouldn't be serious, but not Denios really now that Denios is with Zenexoria. Erishkai/Danara and Felhame would also work for that. Miguel Ashokasura wouldn't either. Other female or asexual NPCs:
*HX-7 *Envy *Dr. Og *Laura Wild *Raysh *Welka *Niilor *Khs *Crash Fox *Akali *Rantraopa *Excellia *Mavar

Hk-7 then, he might be helpful in other ways as well being an assassin robot

You probably will want some kind of shaman or mystic.

okay Mavar can come too

Post by Frederic Bourgault-Christie on Sept 11, 2006 19:44:09 GMT -5
So Mavar, HX-7, and Hack? No Anduris or Taklinn, them being male?
|
|
|
Post by Vincent Hack on Sept 12, 2006 18:49:32 GMT -5
taklinn and anduris can come, as Taklinn is only intrested in giant women, and Victoria won't live long enough for Anduris to even be intrested

Any plans these five have for combinations, formations, etc.?

alright wedge, with HK-7 scouting, Taklinn in the center rear, hack and anduris on the foward flanks, maybe fifty feet distance between the two

All right. The group begins where Clawthorn's roots delve deep into the great sea of dead matter that is the Mnesis Codex. The vital plant material is sharply juxtaposed against the utterly dead, phantasmal material below, things in an unliving, unmoving form. The group sees people, weapons, structures, stars...

I'll go search for Mace' sister. I'll bring Mace, Laura, Brent, and Handyman.
I'll start off by having Mace go to his biological father's home and collect a few of her personal trinkets. This would include a silver hand mirror and her diary from when she was little. He would then give the stuff to Handyman to see if he can use the psychic impressions left on them to follow it to where she currently is in the Mnesis Codex.

So you mean you're going to go to that space station and see your father who Fred beat up and take trinkets that may be gone?

Mace appears at that horrible place again, that luxury apartment where his father was. The guards don't seem to recognize him, or only recognize the champion of Crashing Heavens...

ArekExcelsior2 (8:39:20 PM): You were bringing along who for your NPC? ArekExcelsior2 (8:41:09 PM): Mavar and HX-7 were coming along. Gil the Xexto (8:41:30 PM): Sarashito might want to, not 100% ArekExcelsior2 (8:42:42 PM): She would because she would empathize with Victoria. Gil the Xexto (8:43:40 PM): yeah, and Victoria might acctually become a good friend, if she can get over that Phobia issue of not having her brother around ArekExcelsior2 (8:45:00 PM): Totally. So that group begins in a very strange town along Clawthorn's spine. Gil the Xexto (8:45:42 PM): define strange, aside from being built on someones spine ArekExcelsior2 (8:45:56 PM): Spine/root. ArekExcelsior2 (8:46:14 PM): There is no unifying architectural, racial, etc. reality. It's a hodgepodge across time, dimension, and plane. Gil the Xexto (8:46:33 PM): cool Gil the Xexto (8:50:58 PM): hmm, what to do what to do what to do, where the hell would that codex be ArekExcelsior2 (8:51:35 PM): You're in the Codex. ArekExcelsior2 (8:51:40 PM): The question is, where is Victoria? Gil the Xexto (8:53:28 PM): ahh, okay how can i help the stronger Psions find what only I know what to look for ArekExcelsior2 (8:53:50 PM): You can remember what you know of her. Gil the Xexto (8:54:21 PM): and then send the Info to them ArekExcelsior2 (8:54:31 PM): They'd read surface memories. Gil the Xexto (8:55:26 PM): true, and they'd have a better chance, especailly when trying to Pick up and extremely powerful and Leakey Psion Gil the Xexto (8:56:37 PM): okay i'm going with that plan ArekExcelsior2 (8:56:41 PM): Well, not especially powerful, but... ArekExcelsior2 (8:57:03 PM): Sarashito just hugs Hack. "You really loved her, didn't you?" Gil the Xexto (8:57:47 PM): still a 1500, that leaks, not gonna be subtle, "yes, i'm sort of overprotective of all those i hold dear"H "and here i was thinking you had no heart"A "ass"H ArekExcelsior2 (8:58:45 PM): ...1500? ArekExcelsior2 (8:58:51 PM): What the hell? Gil the Xexto (8:59:00 PM): that was her Psi affinity ArekExcelsior2 (8:59:08 PM): Oh, you mean Victoria. Gil the Xexto (8:59:14 PM): yes, not hack ArekExcelsior2 (8:59:19 PM): I meant Hack, see she has no Psi Affinity technically. Gil the Xexto (8:59:20 PM): vincent hack ArekExcelsior2 (8:59:47 PM): Because she doesn't exist. Gil the Xexto (8:59:53 PM): true, she is kinda dead, and that settles wether or not she Picked hack up ArekExcelsior2 (9:00:27 PM): HX-7 says, "Hypothesis: A powerful psychic like that would not be easily killed. The likelihood of suicide and hiding here is much more substantial." Gil the Xexto (9:01:49 PM): "I agree, if i'm correct I was her safety blanket, take that away and put her through hell, i frankly don't blame her" Gil the Xexto (9:02:32 PM): "and normally I'm pretty Adamant against scuicide" Gil the Xexto (9:02:47 PM): (Hack by the way) ArekExcelsior2 (9:02:54 PM): I got that Gil the Xexto (9:03:03 PM): okay just making sure Gil the Xexto (9:04:35 PM): "always when I make an assumption, he does something like that"T "you have a lot to learn about Humanity child"A ArekExcelsior2 (9:05:59 PM): Mavar chuckles. "I don't think he has so much to learn, wolf." ArekExcelsior2 (9:06:10 PM): Sarashito says, "So, how do we find a powerful psychic who doesn't want to be found?" Gil the Xexto (9:07:31 PM): "she does want to be found, by me"H "Aye that be true, what he has to learn is to simply expect the unexpected from the Total hume's"A Gil the Xexto (9:09:09 PM): "yeah you can never learn all their ways, nor can you ever place stereotypes on them" DI "the milennea teach many things" ArekExcelsior2 (9:09:34 PM): Sarashito shakes her head. "Hack, she loves you, but sometimes it hurts so bad that someone just takes themselves away from everything. You believe that it could never get any better so you try to keep it from getting any worse. Your expectations get low." ArekExcelsior2 (9:10:54 PM): HX-7 says, "Submission: Psychological theory suggests that victims of abuse often do not feel they deserve love or attention and view themselves as negative influences. They believe it best if others stay away from them." Gil the Xexto (9:11:48 PM): "i know, still deep down there are certain things that never die within a person, and it's possible that she'll be major pissed that i diddn't come to save her, and don't lecture me on psychological abuse, trust me I know more on that subject than the shrinks"H "i'll agree to that"T ArekExcelsior2 (9:12:48 PM): Sarashito nods. "So do I, Hack. HX-7 is right. You've managed to keep angry at everyone else, but Victoria... she's just going to be mad at herself. And she'll fight tooth and nail to keep us away from her." Gil the Xexto (9:18:03 PM): "there are those less endurant of body and mind than you, boy"T "many I've noticed,*sighs* alright Caution it is, now where to look, it's possible that she may hide somewhere that only I'd guess, but that is unlikely, what is more likely in my mind, is that she'd hide somewhere right under our noses, almost in plain sight, some where we'd feel extremely stupid for not looking"H ArekExcelsior2 (9:19:43 PM): Mavar laughs. "And there are those stronger than him who have broken, and one may wonder whether murderous rage is strength or just weakness." Sarashito nods. "That may mean she's in the town itself since that'd be the most obvious..." Gil the Xexto (9:23:40 PM): "yeah given her intellegence, and Mavar it has both it's strengths and weaknesses, trust me"H "now i think i understand him alittle more, he fights for the same reason Half orc's fight, to forget the pain,"T "bullseye"H OOG: wow we are really getting to Explore Hack Here, oh and i'm not going any further with the history thread until i have Victoria ArekExcelsior2 (9:24:36 PM): All right. Gil the Xexto (9:25:24 PM): i know this is great ArekExcelsior2 (9:25:48 PM): Yes, it's fleshing out the character. ArekExcelsior2 (9:26:02 PM): Now if someone makes fun of Hack Sarashito's gonna get pissed. ArekExcelsior2 (9:26:14 PM): Or accuses him of being a bastard. ArekExcelsior2 (9:26:48 PM): Sarashito nods. "That only works for some of us..." She looks around and says, "Want to split up and explore the town?" Gil the Xexto (9:28:00 PM): "sounds good, if I may, teams of two seems best, split up as you like" ArekExcelsior2 (9:29:41 PM): Sarashito would like to work with Hack, Mavar with anyone, HX-7 with anyone. ArekExcelsior2 (9:29:50 PM): Problem is that's 7, so you'll need one group of 3. Gil the Xexto (9:30:30 PM): yeah, so Taklinn Mavar and Anduris, HK-7 and Dark Inferno ArekExcelsior2 (9:30:52 PM): Which group first? Gil the Xexto (9:31:51 PM): Hack and Sarashito ArekExcelsior2 (9:33:30 PM): The group is at a five-way intersection. The northernmost exit has a number of yurts and tent-like structures, the two westbound exits lead to cities interspersed with mud huts, the south exit is pagodas, and the east exit is... who knows, alien designs and architectures that are bizarre. Gil the Xexto (9:34:26 PM): "oh lovely,where are you sis, *hums Animal I have become to himself as he thinks*" Gil the Xexto (9:34:42 PM): OOG: that song is so accurate to the Hacktwins ArekExcelsior2 (9:36:45 PM): Sarashito listens to "Conversations with My 13 Year Old Self" by Pink. "What kind of building would she find safe? She'd want some place dark and quiet to just stay in forever..." Gil the Xexto (9:38:59 PM): "yes," and hack sort of broadcasts <i'm coming sis, there's nothing to be afraid of> this was almost subconsious ArekExcelsior2 (9:39:33 PM): Hack gets a response. <Leave me alone. I'm fine, really!> ArekExcelsior2 (9:39:55 PM): Sarashito immediately responds, <Your brother loves you, and I'd like to meet you, Victoria. Please come out.> Gil the Xexto (9:40:40 PM): <Victoria, when have I ever left you alone when you told me too>

Sarashito and Hack had just encountered the man with the mouth going vertically.
You can also play DI/HX-7 and Anduris/Taklinn/Mavar simultaneously here. DI was heading north, Taklinn south.

"well i guess the inhabitants of this section would be pretty strange to our senses"H to sarashito
"well lets go"A <perhaps you don't realize your brothers detrmination, it seems to me that he's going to find you, and there is nothing you can really do to stop him>

<I don't want you to risk yourself for me, I'm not worth it.>
Sarashito nods. "This isn't too bad..." Yet the 'horizon' stretches onto even harder to comprehend forms, and she shivers.
<I'll fight to keep you away. I don't want to see anyone.>
Where do the latter two groups go?

I know the directions, I mean how? Speed, rate, looking around, etc.? Need the areas and roads described?
<That's nice, but it's okay, I know I'm not...>, Victoria replies. Sarashito says, <Why do you think you're worthless? I like you very much and I just met you. I know what you feel like, but I just met someone who I....> (she seems to telekinetically choke) <love who makes me feel like I matter, and I said the same things to him. I feel so silly now!>
