So just looked at our latest NPC "Wo" should be fun, especially since Targus is set as being 16. :o
I'm thinking she's 19 or so. I'm not totally satisfied with her character portrait (especially the silly cat ears). The male Asura from Guild Wars look a lot like Bimm, but the females can look more like Chipettes...

Had to look up the Bimm to remind myself of them. I take it she’s suppose to be of the species that is believed to be native, rather than the near human variant that supposedly came later?

That's right. I toyed with making her a near-Human Bimm, looking at various images of halflings and gnomes for Starfinder, Shadowrun, and other sci-fi/fantasy crossovers, but they all have the same issue of being overly cutey-fied. I finally stumbled on the current image last night and finally saw one that looked like a non-Human Bimm and not a Mon-Chi-Chi. The species makes sense as one that values music and heroic legends.

By the way, one more NPC background to do (the Lasat teenager). Hopefully we can get rolling in the next few days!

The NPCs are done. I tried to link each one to at least two of you, but please let me know if you think your PC would have a different relationship with a particular NPC, or if you can think of some way you might be linked to an NPC who's write up doesn't mention you currently.

Seems like the only one MC has a real connection with is Meshel. Otherwise, don’t see anything that seems out of place.

Did we actually decide on a name for the band in all this?

MC? I just went with "The Blueshift Echoes" for the name, as that seemed like the consensus choice (if not the top choice of everyone). Not a big deal to change it if folks hate it, but it seemed that everyone was at least OK with it.

Sorry, MB20. For some reason I thought it was MC.

As to band name, I thought that was the case but wanted to be sure.

Ah, MB20's memory was also restored by Targus. So that's two folks. :)

ah man, that might change Geise's relationship to Zan somewhat, like friends are friends, but if the guy hurt Geise's kid then he would probably be more hostile towards him.

Kind of like in a, I love you but if you ever show your face around these parts again I'll put a bullet in it, kind of way.

He didn't hurt her directly; she's just taken his departure hard. Like her cool uncle is gone. It's an extension of Gaise's own feelings in a way.

Everyone note that I've completed a draft of the performance rules. They're very much unplaytested, so we'll adjust as necessary. Let me know if you have any questions on how they'll work. In general, performing is a risk–reward gamble with strain management important for the PCs to keep performing long enough to wow the audience.

Going to be interesting to try. Just a thought but could coordination also cover doing something like playing a complex chord on a string or keyed instrument? Some take increadable finger coordination to to pull off.

Yeah, I'm totally open to that. I've asked each PC to designate a primary performance skill, but I'm open to each one using different ones in different situations.

@DeepSpacer! @Boutrose Saba-Norr! @Spiritbw! @ThreeBFour! @LaGouache! Get ready; we should be starting very soon.

I wanted to make sure everyone was still with us. I'm afraid we may have lost @LaGouache due to the slow startup. You around, mon ami?

Not yet. I need to get a post together that sets the stage. Probably tomorrow morning, as work went late today.

I was just thinking that I mention his need to play music enough times in his motivation, I want his fear to be like
failure: geise knows that if he fails it’s not just him that will go hungry but also his adopted daughter

Or

Loss: geise has lost a lot of family in his time, most recently his best friend, and he is terrified at the prospect of loosing anyone else, espeacially his adopted daughter.

Yeah, either of those would work just fine. Feel free to update your character sheet.

I chose the loss one, I figured it wouldn’t be too general, he doesn’t want to loose any of his new family, but it is worded that way to show he will choose Rayzel over anyone else.

Figure anything Meshel does tends to be on the aggressive side. 😝
