Thanks to @Jack Ethan Doyle for helping me test the google hangout! Everything went pretty smoothly, and we'll look at having our first serious one on 6/13, a Saturday. Would an earlier time of, say, 5pm or 6pm EST work any better for you guys?
 
Oh, it's good to hear that the hangout ran swell!! I'll read/look over any notes, if there are some. Saturday would work better for me-- say, sometime around 2-ish. I nailed my new audition, and I'll have rehearsal from 7 PM to... sometime in the evening, plus a 45 minuet commute there and back. That's Monday-Thursday, and then I have classes from 9 AM to 5 PM on Monday-Thursday, and then I leave campus sometime on Friday.

My current musical is nearing it's end, and I'll be free by the 12th at the latest. I'll write a blog entry on this issue ASAP!!

Fight Stats

So some notes on this fight:
  • Outcomes for this fight are based first on skill sets. Since this is a plain, bare-knuckle fight, strength, offense, and defense are priorities. If two characters' skill sets are very similar, it's decided by dice roll. Odd, your character wins. Even, they lose the fight. I'm using this site set on a 1:1 roll.
  • Whether you win or lose, make your character's strength and weaknesses the reason. No lucky wins or losses.
  • I've made pairs based on roughly who is standing by who the last time we all posted.

To play this fight, you can have your character and the thug do whatever you'd like as long as you adhere to stats and the determined outcome. You can also write in them helping the other player's character, but no whiteknight total rescues unless the other person is okay with it. Keep your stats in mind.

If you want to collaborate, please do! Those of you with gmail accounts may find collaborating through a Google doc very easy and helpful. If your character is with mine, feel free to ask me for a collab post.

A little fight music for you all <3

Hey Dip (I think you play Eddie) .. If you want to collab with Google Docs then just post a time to meet you on Google + .. Whenever is good for me except today
 
Yup, @Dip plays Eddie and Cy. You can tag people by adding an "@" in front of their name, and then selecting their profile from the dropdown menu that should appear :)
 
Ahhh!!! Sorry I couldn't get to this sooner, Jack!. I'll be able to do some plotting for a little bit today-- I can PM you right now, and we can think of something to do.

@Midian ; I have a performance tonight, and I'll be leaving at 5:30 ish and be back at 10:30 ish. I can get a post started after the play, and I can get the rest done in the morning. I just need to review Eddie's stats, and determine if she has to loose a tooth or kick someone's ass.

-------------------------

Family: Jason's mother is a housewife while his late father was a factory worker who lost his life when one of the factory machines that he was working on exploded due to overheating. Jason has a younger brother who is 11 years old.

Weaknesses (up to 7): Spiders, discouraging comments, low self confidence
------------------------------

Character Trajectory Beginning:Jason was a very shy boy who was unsure of himself at the beginning, afraid of loud, commanding people and afraid of what people would say about his actions. His shyness also made it difficult for him to make friends.
Character Trajectory by End: Increased self-confidence, surety in what he was doing and better idea of what he had to do in order to achieve the desired results.
Fears and Their Influence: Shyness led to having lesser friends, low self-confidence led to undesirable results and fear of what people would say led to withdrawn nature.
Aspirations and Their Influence: Desire to become a better concept artist led to him increase the amount of his sketching, desire to become a better mechanic led to him joining the academy.
Personalities they work well with: Open-minded, knowledgeable, people with ample expertise in field
Personalities they don't work well with: Worrywarts, easy-going, freeloaders
-------------------------
History: Jason was always a very responsible, serious child who would not stand for any kind of monkey-business when he's engaged in something that he likes working on. After his father passed away having been caught in the machine explosion on the factory, it was up to him to earn and at the same time, since his mother constantly suffered from tuberculosis, he also had to look after his younger brother while serving as an apprentice at a local mechanic shop repairing everything from mobile phones to surveillance software all the while increasing his own knowledge, all at the age of 13. The shop owner, having taken a liking to him decided to teach him the mechanics of how even more complex machinery worked, machinery like basic mecha hardware and software. The wages that he received were reasonable.

Having collected enough money by the age of 15, he was able to treat his mother and afford her medicines, so he went for it.

One day, at the age of 16, he went to the shop and found it ransacked by what seemed to be a biker gang and the shop owner badly beaten up. The shopkeeper, being old and weak of constitution succumbed to his wounds in the hospital and with his dying breath, left everything to Jason having no next of kin to call on.

Jason realized with a heavy heart that he had no future in the small shop, no matter how many repairing contracts he got everyday and so, with what money the shopkeeper had left him and his own resources, he decided to give the shop a backseat and enrolled at the school.

As a mechanic of immense talent and a human being with uncanny willpower, Jason hopes to push on make some of the best, cutting edge hardware and software for the Exo pilots so that they can hold their own in the battlefield with a solid backing on all sides. His motto is, "If you can think it, I can make it." He also hopes to make some friends and get rid of this loneliness that always haunts him.
