Okay, this will be the OOC thread for "Happiness is Mandatory", a Paranoia game. To start out, we'll use this thread for character creation. Feel free to ask questions at any time. As mentioned in the recruitment thread (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=206100.0) this is a system game, but the system is very light-weight and will hopefully stay out of the way. After character creation is over I expect that there will be no need for the players to roll dice at all, for example.<br/><br/>The character creation process can be found here:<br/>https://elliquiy.com/wiki/SimplyParanoid<br/><br/>Players should read over those rules and then post the public parts of their character here (name, skills, service firm and equipment). You're welcome to add other details, such as a physical description or personality. There is sufficient variation in the clone production process that people are generally distinguishable from each other, but nobody's exactly a supermodel.<br/><br/>You were grown in a vat. At age 14 you were decanted and shoved into a dead-end job, where you've labored for the last five years. You've now been promoted to the rank of Red Troubleshooter, with the capacity to serve Friend Computer in new and interesting ways for the remainder of your six unnatural lives.<br/><br/>Everyone owes me three die rolls: 2d20 for Service Group, 1d20 for potential Mutant Power, and 1d20 for potential Secret Society. PM me these rolls - I don't care if you use the Elliquiy dicebot, some other dice roller, actual physical dice, or if you just pick your favorite numbers. I'll PM you back with your Super Secret Information.<br/>Quick clarification: For the Service Group I need both 1d20 rolls, not just the total. So if you use something other than the Elliquiy dicebot, please send me the individual rolls.<br/><br/>When picking skills, I'm going to mandate that each of the characters have a different GREAT skill. So if someone picks Vehicles as their one GREAT skill, nobody else is allowed to pick that one. This is just to encourage some variety.<br/><br/><br/>
