I was trying to have as many as wanted to to show up Thom, but Master Rogue wanted the little side bit wrapped up. So we pushed Derek to finish up last night, something he was none to pleased with BTW. All in all I think the scene worked out great and ended up with a strong bonding experience for the "Three Fates of Terror"

That's right you better run boys, it may just be an all girl short Lance yet

Not upset, just thinking about the prolonged conciquences.

As far as needing a new XO, resolve that IC. Dont know who told what. For all I know Thom is completely oblivious to what had transpired or is hazy on the details, or maybe he finds out and needs to confront Juri. Alot of options for people to play around with.

[Vodkavaiator]

Awwww...

I like all those ideas.

*The three femme fatale lying to Thom (Hilarious!) - "Where were you guys? Oh! Alexi was being silly, of course nothing happened!!!"
*Thom trying to tell Juri to lay easy on the drugs (less humerus, but interesting from a character development standpoint)
*Thom is too drunk/tired to remember/random blow to Thom's head
*??? (Mysterious option for the win)

We could do a slapstick routine with the Three Fates carrying shovels over their shoulders and repeatedly concussing Thom...

[Thom Frankfurt]

How about not. I'm just going to RP Thom is oblivious to eveything, which he is for the most part. I could have some random thing happen with the noteputer.

As to Juri being in bad of a state as she is, sooner or later Thom will figure it out. When I made that statment it was ooc.

[Sparks Murphey]

How do you feel about ladders instead of shovels?

[Thom Frankfurt]

Nah, sea bass.

[MacabreDerek]

Sorry Thom, I just caught up with your OOC posts, didnt realize the CO thing was completely OOC. If you want, I can re-write the whole location or assume that the room used is temporary just to keep Juri out of sight. Hope the post is a good read.

[Thom Frankfurt]

Nah it's a good post and IC Thom still has you down as XO. When it becomes apparant that Juri can't handle the job, you have it. I'm still trying to figure out who'd be your replacement. Thom is random enough, he just might write down everyone's name and draw them from a hat.

[MacabreDerek]

Well, let's see if Juri cant handle it or if she can rise to the occasion. This is the kind of drama that makes for great side stories isnt it?

Oni, did that message that Alexi send out go out to Thom as well?

I was going to have Thom show up for the Party at the Grand Dragon but read the end of the message that she sent in out to all regular Terrors so figured I'd ask first. Left the post vague enough that I could have something else happen.

EDIT: *reads Oni's last post* Brillant! We just Shanghied some medics!! LMFAO!!

IC: Alexi looked with big innocent doe eyes at Father Thom, "What you told me we needed doctors, I got you a doctor and his driver.. By way.. paw paw.. I want a bonus for the ambulance."

Crazy Mexican Cowboy who calls himself The Egg. Doesn't that also mean 'Balls?'
Angery Samurai Nah, no He's too quiet and 'professional.'
Divorced Test Pilot Is actually the front runner for the spot. She's highly intelligent and resourceful.
The Usually Unusal demi-being that is Azmen Would be considered for the spot just for living through the bonfire that Verfaren.
Bubblegum Pop Solaris Warrior. Oh hell no. We'd always be in trouble, just like now, but way worse.

[G is for Gamma]

Yeah, its slang for nuts. Spanish is a fun language.

[Oni Storm]

EDIT: Bubblegum Pop Solaris Warrior. "Oh hell no. We'd always be in trouble, just like now, but way worse."

I had a whole backstory of my character egging a Carlos Comacho (comannder of the Caballero's) mech as a kid, and having to scrub the whole thing (a battlemaster) with a tooth brush as punishment. He was forever known as "The egg" afterwords, since Huevo can also mean a guy who isn't that bright (a cracked egg).

I picture my catapult as being painted up so that it looked like a cracked egg that never hatched, so the legs are all chicken leggy, and the body is white and junk.

[Thom Frankfurt]

lol that'd be awesome.

You should totally try it as the paint jobs and custom logos make their way in game.

Hey everyone, so Rogue just invited me to join so here is my BIO. Let me know what you think and if I should make any changes. I'll also need an "in," so perhaps Thom could help me out in that respect? A late addition/interview? Old connection from Solaris? You tell me and I'll jump right in.


Name: Leutnant (ret.) Andrew Wheeler

Callsign: ‘Doc’

Date of Birth/Age: 3036 - 27 years old

Current Mech: Bushwacker S2

House Affiliation: Lyran originally, now unaffiliated

Military History: Former LAAF 3^rd Donegal Guards. Participated in Operation ‘Bird Dog’ dropping with the Donegal Vanguards on Tarazed. After seven days of action behind enemy lines, Wheeler was rescued by the first wave of Operation Bulldog, the sole survivor of his lance, and one of only four to make it off alive. Following the action on Tarazed, Wheeler was reassigned to the rear to an administrative post. Shortly thereafter he retired from active military service.

Physical Description: Height approximately six feet, with an athletic build. Ruddy, auburn hair, kept somewhat short, but longer than military regulations would have had it. He wears olive drab BDU pants with combat boots most often, and simple T Shirts that are often given away at free Solaris events. He often wears a sand colored canvas jacket, spotted all over with oil and grease stains. His only weapon is a LAAF combat knife sheathed in his right boot. Often wears a LAAF field cap kept low over his eyes to avoid making eye contact with those around him. He’s still very personable once he gets to know you, but can be extremely shy at first blush, especially around women.

Open Background: Born on Hillerod near Donegal, Andrew Wheeler was a rather shy but caring child. Merely 14 when the clan invasion occurred, Wheeler was spared the horrors of the conflict, and the images of the battered and maimed troops returning home inspired him to go into medicine. Unable to afford passage offworld, Wheeler attending a local medical college, where he acquired passable medical skills. However, as troubles with the clans continued, Andrew decided to leave the medical college early, prior to completing his degree. Wheeler successfully applied to the LAAF, and was assigned to the prestigious 3^rd Donegal Guards, in part to replenish depleted ranks with members from systems close to Donegal. Wheeler distinguished himself in piloting a battlemech, despite having to learn in an ad hoc fashion. During his time in the Guards, Wheeler’s medical training was found to be of great use, especially in the field when Mechwarriors would often be cut off from the rear and proper military aid. As is common, Wheeler’s experience led him to acquire the callsign “Doc”, which he accepted with pride. When word came down for volunteers for Operation Bird Dog, a guerrilla mission behind clan lines, Wheeler jumped at the chance to prove he belonged in the Guards as a true mechwarrior. Following the operation, and his subsequent retiring from the service, Wheeler found himself wanting to take his life in a new direction. Following several failed attempts at non military careers, (including attempting to be a landscape photographer) Wheeler found himself broke, and down on his luck. With his last few CBills, Wheeler traveled to Solaris to hopefully find work as an advisor or tech with one of the many Solaris stables. Unfortunately, no one was willing to hire a former mechwarrior as a full time tech, and it quickly became clear he had no other option. With no other choice but to return to being a mechwarrior, Wheeler bounced from job to job, unable to find meaningful work due to being dispossessed. One night, during a particularly drunken exchange with the head of a Solaris Stable, Wheeler managed to win a battered Bushwhacker in a somewhat dubious Solaris match. With a newly acquired mech, and a desire to get as far from Solaris as possible, Wheeler and his mech bought passage on the first available transport to Outreach. Wheeler now lives alongside his mech in a rented mechbay, unable to afford proper housing. He is desperate to find work, or risk becoming dispossessed once again. At night, he volunteers at a local ambulance company, for which he receives a food voucher, and it keeps him from going crazy with boredom.

Deep Background: Despite desiring to own a mech and become a mechwarrior once again, Wheeler has rather severe PTSD, and often has graphic nightmares. Despite owning the Bushwhacker, he has not been in direct mech combat since Tarazed, and is terrified of cracking once he is in combat once more. His need to live and feed himself however, pushes him to continue on his path toward warring once more.
