Welcome one and all.  I'll be starting a mech based besm game with the above players.  You're more than welcome to read the story as we go along, but at the moment, we aren't looking for any additional players. If that changes, I'll make sure to post something up announcing it.<br/><br/>anyway, to the players:  welcome dudes and dudette.  For now, we just need a little basic info on your characters.<br/><br/>the ooc is up and running: http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=101918.0 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=101918.0)<br/>IC thread: http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=102133.0 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=102133.0)<br/><br/><table class="bbc_table"><tbody><tr><td>Name</td></tr><tr><td>Age(young teens to early twenties please, to fit in with the mech anime/game stereotype)</td></tr><tr><td>Gender</td></tr><tr><td>Callsign</td></tr><tr><td>Short Bio</td></tr></tbody></table><br/><table class="bbc_table"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Attributes</strong></td></tr><tr><td>Attribute Name</td><td>Cost</td><td>Rank</td><td>Notes</td></tr><tr><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr></tbody></table><br/><table class="bbc_table"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Defects</strong></td></tr><tr><td>Defect Name</td><td>Points returned</td><td>Rank</td><td>Notes</td></tr><tr><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr></tbody></table><br/>don't worry about skills for now. I'll go over those later.<br/><br/>for now, your character doesn't have their mech.  We'll get them after a short bit. Go ahead and come up with a concept for your mech at the moment, but don't build it yet.  We'll be using the D20 manual's mech building rules.  Also, your mech doesn't have to be space-capable, but flight capable is highly advised (though not truly necessary). You will have out-of-mech battles, but your character is rather low powered (30 CP plus any defects). Choose your attributes wisely (you may use attributes from either 3rd edition or D20, though I'd reccommend D20 for the cheaper attributes, and your mech/character will be built with D20 rules(class based). I intend to level up the group slowly, though depending on what you guys do, that may change.  (after all, I promised a freeform campaign). If you have any questions, let me know.
