If you could blow up the world with the flick of a switch
Would you do it?
If you could make everyobody poor just so you could be rich
Would you do it?
If you could watch everybody work while you just lay on your back
Would you do it?
If you could take all the love without fiving any back
Would you do it?
And so we cannot know ourselves or what we'd really do...
With all your power
With all your power
With all your power
What would you do?
If you could make your own money and then give it to everybody
Would you do it?
If you knew all the answers and could give it to the masses
Would you do it?
No no no no no no are you crazy?
It's a very dangerous thing to do exactly what you want
Because you cannot know yourself or what you'd really do
With all your power
With all your power
With all your power[/quote]

Sam "The Raven" McTiernan
I think the "Deadlands" world would more than suffice for my character's starting point (if anyone knows the game, Sam's a Huckster by trade, Poker player by tradition).
There could be any number of reasons for Sam to find his way through a portal, by delusion of part of his background or by chasing after someone, or simply being summoned!
Also, if there is any parallel to someone else's "United States of America", Sam can also be easy to relocate, based on his constant travelling behaviour.
What can I say? I want to make it as easy for the GM as possible, my first go around.

Furi Kuri (Fooly Cooly?)
So I've been reading about Furi Kuri, and it seems that I'll never quite get it until I've seen at least two or three of the 6 part series. From what I can tell Haruko is some crazy vespa riding space alien who creates dimensional portals from bonking people on the head with her guitar...and Neuro thinks she can Role Play this character? I'm impressed! I'm not sure what kind of setting you'll be from, but it's gotta be pretty odd. Let me know if you found the episodes so I can watch them.
et me know what you think of this review:
http://www.sleepisfortheweak.org/reviews/flcl/
It seems that Azarack is really eager to be playing RPGs again. I'm really happy to have him involved with this campaign. His Huxter character is a perfect fit, and I'll get to incorporate the a late 19th Century Earth into the storylines.
Skyman and Winter are both still working on their characters.
Skyman.. Let me know if you want to be from a Super Powers world (Similar to Marvel) or from a CoC / Lovecraftian world. Both of your character concepts could fit into either world.
Winter.. I'll have my RIFTS book soon for you to peruse. I'm curious to see what's in Infinate Worlds, and you may want to look through that book as well for some character ideas.
I may incorporate some "Guest Players/NPC" when we actually get to tabletop. I figure that if I can't recruit people to play in the entire campaign, I should be able to get some people in for a one shot session.

To be honest, a vespa riding space alien who hits people with a guitar might be a step up the normal ladder for me this week.

Yeah, something silly like the actual
Thanks, Winter. Now I can have something interesting to watch after I'm done with Elfen Lied vol. 4.
Arigatou!

FLCL is either the equivlant of some crazy animators brain-static, or the deepest mind-fuck I've seen in a long, long time.
Maybe both.

I'm sure we're getting off topic, but I think that covers alot of that style of anime.. (Azumanga Daioh?.. )
Truly there should be some interesting character interaction from a hyper anime alien girl and a dark-sighted westerner (using that term in more ways than one
I'll be using a flask and a deck of cards as props; will you be using a guitar, Neuro?

Oh, well, righto!.. I didn't know if you minded or not.
I like that term. I'm convinced that that's how most story writers get their ideas because they are somehow connected to those alternate dimensions and feel as if they've been there, before.
I also like to think that's why I can fly in some dreams and not in others. Depends on which dimension my conscious is visiting while I sleep!

And on the Topic, before, I just added the FLCL as next to come on my Netflix list. It sounds like we just got a "Teenagers from Outer Space" character is all. .

FLCL: Crazy brain static, yes.
But for the mindfuck, you need Paranoia Agent. If I were going to play in some sort of pan-dimensional, any-fucked-up-character-you-want game, I might choose Li'l Slugger.

I honestly can't think of anyone else who could.
You've been warned.

OK. I've decided to start these characters out at 200 points. (Neruo..begin the min/maxing!) Please post if your having problems with powers and point costs. I may not have the answer, but I'm sure Winter or the others on the board know GURPS well, and may have some good commentary.
At least you all will be able to stat out your characters, and get a breif history/bio together. Then the fun can really begin.
