Looking VOLUNTEERS for a Project.

[Saitou Hajime]

So In relation to my Web Site I have the rather odd yet interesting idea for the Merc page. A Group of Mercs that are former Forum member of a RPG Forum in a Mundane version of earth summon to rifts earth by unknown forces. Using a small Cashe of CS Weapons and armour, they start a small merc group. Like the Knights of the Round Table, there are no true leaders.

What is need is a Write up of your character with the following:

A "Real" Name [I don't care if this real or not, but is should be a normal Earth name]
Nickname [Handle or not]
Any OCC that your yourself could see you either learning in two years on Rifts Earth or that roughly resembles you in real life.
I allow up to three +20 bonus in a field of study that you are familiar with.
Please keep the equipment reasonable, no rune weapons please.

What I don't want is a bunch of people being demi gods, and huge level magic OCC and the like.

[Ronin Shinobi]

Real name: Would never give since belive in magic of it having real power over you. ((John McGinnis if needed. and no not my Rl name either ))

Nickname: Ronin

IQ:12 (If interested I'll put my all to learning it. But most of time, can be forgetful with anything mundane. or take a while to learn)
ME:20 (can be a real mule and even if evidence is over whelming would stick with me guns if I believe I'm right still)
MA:10 (Take a while for me to warm up but anyone one I do, will be very sociable, but at time may still stay quiet and reserve)
PS: 14 (Work out to keep weight off but nothing above average.)
PP: 10 (Not most sure footed individual)
PE: 12 (Do have a few heath issue but nothing that would debilitate me.))
PB: 13 (Going with what ladies say about me. Personal I don't think I'm all that handsome)
SPD:13 (Not slow, but not exactly a sports runner either.)

With my knowledge and I'll admit practices in the occult probably would be able to learn Leyline walker so not going to waste space listing all the abilities and the standard OOC skilles but will list what i would learn in OCC and where my +20 would go

OOC skill:
Demon Lore: +30 (20+10 given)

OOC: related

Astronomy: +10
Archaeology: +10
Faerie lore: + 10
Art: +10
First Aid: +5
Literacy: +10
Magic:+30 (20+10 given)

Secondary skills

Fishing: +20
Swimming
Prowl
Knife
Automobile
Cook

Hand to hand: Basic (Self taught, with few Tae Kwon Do basics taught to me by my bro when he took classes. Enough to have me hold my own in a fight)

Spells:

Globe of daylight, Blinding flash, See the invisible, Chameleon, Levitation, Mystic alarm, Armor of Ithan, Breath without Air, Energy bolt, Energy field, Magic net, shadow meld

[Shadyslug]

I'd have to dig up my books (they're deep in storage), but I just can't see myself (if I'm really being honest) as more than a wilderness scout with a penchant and talent for fighting. I'm such a "jack of all trades" that nothing really seems to fit. I'd have moderately high physical stats, better than average mental stats.

IQ: 16ish (I'm a VERY quick learner which warrant some kind of IQ bonus, though I don't think I have an IQ of 160, which I think is a flaw of the system when applied to reality)
ME: 16 (while I can, at times, be easily distracted...when I choose to really focus there's nothing that will pull me off course)
MA: 13 (I'm charismatic, but I don't think I'm a great natural leader. Leadership for me takes an effort and I don't think I can influence more than handfuls of people)
PS: 20 (At my strongest I could max bench press 250 lbs. and would leg press 500 lbs. for reps)
PP: 16 (while hiking/camping I ran across a river once on floating logs while wearing a 50 lbs. backpack, could broad jump 8' from a standing, 18' with a running start, and again, I was a very very good athlete)
PE: 14 (the weakest part of my physical gifts was endurance, though I could run a mile in 5:36, and two miles in 11 minutes...anything over that was not something I was interested in. With short breaks I could go for the entire day if need be. I've hiked 22 miles from basecamp to the summit of Halfdome and back in 10 hours. Sure it hurt, but I could do it and still function at a fairly good rate.)
PB:12 (I'm not terribly handsome, but I think I'm better than average)
Spd:24. (100m sprint in 10.84 seconds...with a running start I cover 100m in 9.6 seconds).

I believe I'm bring fairly accurate here...I'd rank myself in the top 10% of athletes worldwide as I've been very successful at every sport I've played with several MVP and All Star awards. Granted, this was when I was younger - but two years in a Rifts setting would put me back into fighting shape very quickly...or it would kill me quickly.

Skills of note?

Anything that keeps me alive in the wilderness for long periods of time (fishing, camping, cooking, survival, swimming, running, wilderness lore, advanced first aid...etc.)
I can build just about anything out of wood.
I'm an Eagle Scout - so I've got really solid survival skills and other outdoor skills.
W.P. Sniper (I've been shooting since I was 5 years old. Amateur competitor in high power rifle and .22 caliber rifle. Can put ten shoots into a 6" group at 200 yards in 30 seconds. Give me a few moments to set up and aim, and I'll dot the "i". From 50' I can shoot you in the iris. Though I'm not a quick draw or a trick shooter)
W.P. Rifle, pistol, (I'd find a way to add energy rifle and pistol)
W.P. blunt
W.P. knife
W.P. short sword (I'd learn)

Hand to hand Expert (I'm not quite a black belt in martial art - Kuk Sool Won, but I was close after 4 solid years of training. Granted, it was a long time ago, so I won't give myself "martial arts". It might come back to me after some practice, but the way I've fought in real life was never truly a martial arts style. I like boxing and grappling too much because I tend to be stronger than people gave me credit for and they'd do similar things. I'd consider myself more of a brawler anyway...)

I'd have a lot of "lore" skills. I already possess a very strong mythology base, religion base, and historical base.

I'd have to learn Dragonese...but I'm terrible with languages.

Computer basic...and probably never more.

I'm good with tinkering and fixing mechanical things. I've got a strong carpentry background. I'm good with numbers and finance.

Honestly...I'd probably end up running with a group of adventurers. Maybe no more than 10 to 15. I might join a larger group and manage a smaller squad (5 to 10 people). If I were with the smaller group (rather than a larger group) I'd probably be a 2 or 3rd in command as I think I'm too "dreamish" to be the top leader. I do better when I'm given direction and then given flexibility on how to get it accomplished.

Gear:

Sleeping bag and pad (with extra blankets)
Very light tent
Advanced first aid kit
50' of rope (be nice to have a hook on the end, but not essential)
cooking kit
always carry matches or several lighters (even though I can start a fire with sticks and twine)
basic wilderness kit
hand ax
sheath knife or good vibro blade
good buck knife
multi-tool (like a Leathermans)
good hat
good cloak
good coat
couple pairs of pants
good boots
toilet paper (I hate wiping with vegatation)
a folding spade
solid staff or walking stick.
folding saw or cable saw

weapons:

Energy rifle (not the top of the line, but I'd like to have something accurate at longer distances)
At least one, if not two SDC semi-automatic pistols, preferably Colt 1911 .45's
SDC .30 caliber rifle with scope. Prefer M1 Garand or M-14. No fully automatics.
It would be nice to have an Energy Pistol, but that's getting greedy.
Vibro short sword.
Vibro garrote wire (or at least a garrote wire)
SEVERAL daggars hidden around my body.

And I'd love to have something that I could ride...some kind of animal mount. I'd prefer something reptilian, but a horse would probably do. And I'd like to have a dog.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1M66 ... y=CP2xtcsE

EDIT: Optional ; Add +2 a/m to each list of A/M as the game he was created for doesn't use the 2 actions for Living rule, and doesnt use GMG or RUE, classic Rifts.
Edit 2: yes, I would die, and be reborn in the body of a Grackle Tooth, because god would intend for me to be an attitude bearing lizard with huge guns.

my big question is can we have creative licence.

for example if somebody has mystical beliefs could they be translate into a practitioner of magic occ?

I going to reget this but that sounds ok.

What I don't want is a bunch of people being demi gods, and huge level magic OCC and the like.

Any word on my Question ?
About me undergoing the "Becoming" and being a Nightbane ?

If you allow it,let me know if your rather the Morphus be Random or something picked.
I posted a Random roll NB Morphus above. Even included a possible pic for him in Morphus.
Just let me know, I'dd finish Typing up the Morphus Form Stats and Edit that Post to include them.

Cool. I thought it would be the Only way RAW that one of us could become something.
Just let me know I you want me to Random Roll a New Morphus form or to use the one I posted above. Ok.

Also. If your not "happy" with Nightbane in general, dont be shy to say No.

Besides Nightbane, i would see me Ended up in 2 years ::
*Were-Wolf (Coming to Rifts released dormant dna)
*Full Conversion Cyborgs
*Cold-Blooded
*Ex-Juicer, Now Cold-Blooded "Hehehe" Yeah 2 years as a Juicer, then switched to Cold-Blooded for retirement.
*Vampire (Rifter 49) Nightbane versions
*Mystic Smith (Mystic Russia)
*Mutant (HU2 style) Random Powers of course. No Hu2 PU Powers either. Just Mainbook.

As for Learning a OCC ... I can only see myself trying to learn One OCC in Rifts to replace my normal Skills. CYBER-KNIGHT.

Since your basicly the GM of the Project. You tell me which ones would fit what you had in mind Best. OK. I trust yah.

Cool.
I'll Work one up each for this, and decided which I like best
BORG, Mystic Smith, Mutant, and Cyber-Knight. hmmm.

Spoiler:

One Question about Cyborgs. Can we Select a certain Borg Body type to have by chance ?
I ask 'cause i would kill litertly for the PW-Oni Cyberai Body for a Borg. The Self-Healing ability is a Life-saver. Its Alien to Rifts is why I ask...

But first I'm going to take quick look over the Mystic Smiths and Cyber-knights.

[Blue_Lion]

Sounds intresting so mostly stuff out of conversion books, some of the stuff in ninjas and super spies whould be possible?

[csbioborg]

do we get metagame knowledge?

[Cinos]

Just how much info are you looking for? Just stats to flesh out said merc company for use later (Saving you the effort of drawing up dozens of NPCs you can later use in games), or are you looking for real characters, backgrounds, deeper personalities and the like?

[TechnoGothic]

I UPDATED Myself for this Above...
I used the MUTANT Power Catagory.
An Unstable Mutant who Grows in Power with XP and Age.

MUTANT CHARACTER SHEET
http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h232/ ... ANT01A.gif

Sorry, But I did roll Invulnerability. Which I kept for one reason. I looked at the other Powers I rolled very carefully. It fitted the Most into what i was seeing. While its a very Powerful Power, in RIFTS alot of things can still do damage. Any Magics, Psionics, Magic Weapons. SN PS does Half Damage though. Which is cool.

All in all I liked what was rolled. I'm going to Write this up for a Game for my group, i'm so impressed with the results.

Just dont see myself "Learning" new skills though. Specially if I was Mutated like this.

Good Question Cinos.

I'd be willing to Write up some Background. Alittle about myself in 2011 AD. How I arrived in Rifts, How I was Mutated. Maybe even my first Battle as a Mutant. Just to Flesh it all out more.

I know I would geek out (alittle) Once i saw myself. Lou...Eat your heart out, buddy.

@ Saitou Hajime

I know that Mutant I random rolled up ended up pretty darn Powerful. Ok Way Powerful.
I was thinking about that myself.

You you mind If I worked up an Enchanted Weapon version of myself instead ?
I Know It will be ALOT less powerful, and easier to build up. Let me know, OK ?

I just may have to wait for the Armegeddon Unlimited Book to arrive though.

I'm going to work this up in a few days.
