Figured I'd start this by saying that I really like how Rath's new character sounds. Solid young man, solid.

Yes, except that he looks like, to quote either Logan or Katanga..."freakin' Meat Loaf...."

Also, I wanted to post this picture in the main thread but didn't want to take up space.

What is this thing Kid Ego sent? Rath told me about in IM, but I have no idea what he's talking about.

It's a character sketch sheet and breaks the character down quite nicely. I'd like to just use that as my profile, but it's a big larger than the 6 questions.

Roger that.

As soon as I move over to my laptop and permanent computer, I'll put a link to a blank Character Design sheet and a bio up for Veretta.

When you see all the pagers and cells and C4 and GPS shit come flying out, you know what time it is...

I also want to state that for a project like this, less is more! Overly descriptive character sheets start as a crutch and later become a hurdle to jump over as the story progresses. Thus the "six questions".

Ego, you going to use an "actor" as well, or the cartoon only? Just curious.

Interesting choice of actors, by the way. Nice to see that Seahawk enjoys the drink! JK.

Hope I don't end up having to kill most of you. See ya in CS!

Only for the GM. A more fleshed out character is easier to play because you know where he's coming from experience-wise. The character sheet I created wasn't necessarily created FOR this game, but for general character development in writing a good story...much like <a href="http://www.cusher.net/writing.html" target="_blank">THIS WEBPAGE</a>...

Actually, since I suck horribly at finding pictures of "actors" that have a particular look, I was going to go more with my sketch...if that's alright with you, Master Logan.

Ego's portrait can stand since he drew it. If he wants to add an actor that's cool, too.

I just didn't want established comic characters cast as these guys. Or anime...

I think the sheet is good for self-reference, but a little too revealing and detailed for others to see.

I like to let a lot of it develop in-game.

Burke tryin' to be all scary. We'll see just how scary he is. It's all talk until we hit the mean streets. It looks like school's in session for you new guys and I'll be your instructor. Call me Daddy.

I understand, and am behind you all the way. Sorry that I came off as hounding you a bit. No harm intended, and glad to have you on board. Looking forward to the whole thing, actually!

Life Under These Beautiful Streets
By Elmore Pantuso
Columnist for the Coldstone Times

"The sirens are screaming and the highways are howling in the city tonight. The quiet that has descened over Coldstone since Roman Carvaggio was sent up on a rap nearly five years ago was shattered earlier tonight when the kind offer of Tony's Tiger propietor Paulie DiVialoso ended in bloodshed.

When I asked for his take on the proceedings, Mr. DiVialoso said...."

All right, I pulled the quick sketch I did of Mr. Veretta and put up a more mainstream picture.

Just imagine Steven a little more muscular and quicker on his feet than his most current roles. In a suit...Carlone is a very imposing flesh-ball.

&lt;edited cuz I can't spell&gt;

As I've promised Logan, I'll be chronicling Cap'n Katanga's COLDSTONE 2. I got overwhelmed with part 1 because I started late in the game. Following that same format, I've already started on part 2:

<a href="http://www.innergrail.com/coldstone2" target="_blank">http://www.innergrail.com/coldstone2</a>

My brain is still pretty much fried (pain pills) and I can't think of a decent character. I've temporarily placed Ray Winstone's pic as a placeholder character. I know the deadline is on Friday and I'll make sure to come up with one by then.

Holy Shite (pathetically practicing on my Brit slang here) the "Setting" exposition was amazing, Katanga! Wonderful, just wonderful.

And I must say, the Jester's dialogue was DEAD-ON! "Boys little league team" my ass.....

It's so cool that you made Dino a priest! That's pretty much how I envisioned how he was going to end up. Eerie.

Let me emphasize that the setting thread is the absolute most liberty I'll take with your characters....that said glad you enjoyed and glad I'm not dangling from a street lamp.

So far I find the Viglio section hopelessly pathetic, and nothing like I imagined or described him.

Now post, fuckers.

Can someone define "one action post per week?" Also, how much liberty is usually taken with other people's characters regarding dialogue?
