Do we need a techie or the like? Wet science...bio/chem and the like, rather than explosives and circuit boards, would be spiffy.

It would make for an interesting character. He could be a "retired" chemist that got screwed out of his pension so he has to make ends meet somehow. On the other end of the spectrum, it could be a young guy that got kicked out of CalTech for making nerve gas in his dorm room.

What a nice bunch of people this party is going to have. :cheesy:

He/she definitely would be the go-to person when serial numbers have to be burned off and bodies need to be disposed of. Just remember the quicklime and 50-gallon barrels of hydrochloric acid.

Cleaner anyone?

More stuff added to the Sin City wiki.

Nice pic of Frank! I wouldn't necessarily thought of that actor, but it works.

Since he should have 2 languages, according to the wiki post, lets add Spanish to his English. It's a natural choice that he might well have learned growing up in LA.

Thanks. If you have another pic suggestion that's fine too.

Shite. I had a great post which conveniently got eaten by the website.

In a nutshell:

-I'm ready to wrap up Paybacks.
-Mercs Inc. is plugging along. I still have some fleshing out to do over at the Wiki. I should also note that not everyone has to work for the same employer or even together. I left the employment issue fairly open so that we could get some interesting interactions.
-Not too Pulpy as of yet, but I have a few ideas which shall be posted.

Questions/Comments on the Wiki material thusfar?

Gatac and I have talked. Can we have a character to character fight?

Uh. Sure. You -do- realize the consequences? I'm not being held responsible/accountable for any character deaths not directly related to my own NPCs.

I don't want incite an open season on PCs but I think some factionism might be what we need in this game. It will be more like a friendly rivalry rather than an all-out gang war, but I wouldn't stop people from making the streets of Vegas run red with blood.

Fair warning has been given.

Why do I have the impression my PM inbox is going to flooded?

Yeah. If we're going out, we'd like to go out with a bang. (Or a few.)

Chocolate sauce. Let's go for broke.

You folks are amusing, but wrong.

Looks good so far. In regard to the "Connections" edge, it will be largely based on who(m) exactly you're connected to.

-Have a friend with muckity-muck at a defense contractor? You'll get some nice toys that go boom.
-Your uncle is own's which casino(s)? You'll have an "in" to any VIP event and will certainly be on the guest list.
-You happen to be a friend of a friend "Back East." Respect will get you everywhere (or at least not curb-stomped) when you try and talk to the local mafia Capo.

You get the idea. Since you chose it as one of your Edges it's going to be a big deal since you're relying on it for skill checks and such.

What about equipment and things like a car/place to live etc.

Figure a garage/basement workshop for tinkering and such...probably off the main roads and miles away from civilization. Kinda like Bud's trailer in Kill Bill 2.

As for wheels, give yourself a late model sedan. I'm thinking an economical Ford Taurus or perhaps an Explorer if you're out in the boonies.

And if I swap out Contracts for Rich?

Rich would provide you with a small Batcave-ish type of facility. It's not Los Alamos, but it's also not living above a Radio Shack. Figure a nice home with a private road and whatnot.

Question: If you're rich, why bother being a mercenary. Oh, that's right THE MAN was keeping you down and you want revenge. Right? :biggrin:

If you go a step further and want to take FILTHY RICH that's a whole other ball of Composite-4. You still wouldn't be getting THE Batcave, but you'd have the means to have business front for your nefarious deeds.

Well, I figure I'm gonna take Rich, atleast...underground Doc's got savings and is seriously entertaining the thought of booting up his own restaurant...
