I've been known to have a masochistic streak, but even that shit has its limits. Unnecessary physical pain? Sure. Intentionally, permanently forgoing resources in an rpg? ARE YOU INSANE?!?

Hey, Jahaili willingly lowered her clarity down to a 5. I gave her an extra merit dot for that. Sometimes it doesn't hurt to check.

You want me to base my definitions of sanity on the actions of a Mandalorian freelance editor/aspiring writer? Jefe, you crazy.

Hey now. Hey now.

Them's fighting words. :p

Decided to go with using xp for that dot in Resources and spending my last 3 Merit dots to up my Wyrd. Updated my character sheet (same link will pull down the updated sheet) and made a note in there about max glamour and how many points of glamour I can spend per turn -- mostly for my benefit, since I don't have that memorized.

Right you are, chief. Now my XP raises my Presence, Composure and Resolve. In addition, Miller is enough of a free trader that I picked Fleeting Summer 1: Baleful Sense (always useful for a fearmongering reporter).

Sounds good guys. I think I'm going to try and write up something for how all your characters met, and the sort of things that have been happening to you over the last year.

If there's anything you haven't included in your backstory that you'd like to, or want to say is true about your character, feel free!

Totally post-crashing.

Zombie kill of the week:

Riiiight.... So, back on topic.

Here's some questions to get you thinking some more about your character and what's going on around them. Feel free to give as much, or as little, of an answer as you would like. And you are welcome to post them here, or PM them to me, if you'd rather the rest of the group didn't know the answer to them.

Jess Avery/Mumbles
- Have you let Madame Night make a prediction for you? What did she speak of?
- Do you take sides in the feud between the two largest courts in the freehold? Why do you take that stance?
- Were you at the part in which the engagement was announced two months ago? What do you feel about it?
- What habit of yours annoys others the most?
- Who can you turn to, when everything else is lost?

Martin Brutus Booth/Mikel
- Why do you owe loyalty to Queen Aeolian? or What made you decide to join the Spring Court?
- Were you at the part in which the engagement was announced two months ago? What do you feel about it?
- What keeps you awake at night?
- Which of your friends do you have a crush on?

Miller Kettering/GamerInterface
- Why do you think Squick has a soft spot for children?
- Were you at the part in which the engagement was announced two months ago? What do you feel about it?
- What happened to you that you can't forgive? (beyond your time in Arcadia)
- Where'd your pants end up last night?

Deidre/Jahaili
- How do you get along with Aurora's motley (Squick, Madame Night, and Jermiah Somn)?
- Were you at the part in which the engagement was announced two months ago? What do you feel about it?
- What are you amazing at that you don't let others know?
- How long did it take you to figure out it was just a game?

Mumbles, in answer to your question. Yes, I did mention it, but it was apparently buried in a lengthy post.

To sum up, for the last 30 years the Spring and Winter Courts have been at each other's throats on and off. Political backstabbing and what not. The feud has gone on so long that no one really remembers what it started over. Tension has been running high, and the rulers of the courts feel that marrying their two successors will finally ease all the hard feelings.
