Is what I figured; that's why I start with 7 interest points

Bad back is 1 interest point though, which would make 6

But I guess we can count Pessimist for another interest point. The other two are mixed (Neurotic is mixed because it raises the mental break threshold, but also increases work speed, and Psychically dull is mixed because there are both beneficial and harmful psychic effects).

the seventh was from not taking any equipment Watch out or I'll add in an eight one for Pessimist!

IIRC the wolf was called Diefenbaker.

Here's the next batch. @Dirona, I still need you to revise your sheet before you're done Also, are you gonna bring Eriol again? And if so, do you want to start out married, or strangers?

 

[Gruebeard]

Okay, I've got an update. The spsviking hairstyle is far closer to me than anything else. (Thor would would be good, too, except that I have a beard; A Jesus hairstlye would be spot on.)

Also, I think a yellow shirt would look better.

And there are so many pets, I think I should switch that out for a pistol. You can never have enough guns. (Oh what a bad Canadian I am!)

When Fraser is trapped in a bank vault and Diefenbaker goes for help...

 

[Gruebeard]

Oh, and one more thing. I was also thinking that I should change one of my traits to Nice (because it's the closest thing to polite), and after seeing your little exchange with @Celt Z regarding Nibbler, I'm convinced.

Could you swap out Nibbler for Nice, please?

 

[Bubble181]

I can't find "Midworld cadet" asa background on Wiki

I'm assuming by "nice" you mean "Kind."

Anyway, here's Siska and the REVISED revised Gruebeard [DOUBLEPOST=1500832056,1500831928][/DOUBLEPOST]

I can't find "Midworld cadet" asa background on Wiki

It's from a mod that added more backgrounds and traits.

"Growing up on a high tech midworld with a flourishing space transit industry, Bubble181 wished to leave for the stars and live among the growing spacer class. He excelled in his studies and gained entry to his homeworld's most prestigious naval academy." +Social, +Crafting, +Intellectual

 

[Gruebeard]

Yes, Kind. Thank you.[DOUBLEPOST=1500832128,1500832065][/DOUBLEPOST]Now I'm idly wondering if there's a High Maintenance trait.

 

[GasBandit]

Sort of. "Greedy" means you're unhappy if you don't have really nice stuff in your private bedroom. And heaven help everybody if you don't even have a private bedroom.

Also, any of the traits (Nervous, Neurotic, etc) that increases mental break threshold, I'd say, because that makes you more likely to act out when there are things going on you don't like.

Uh, pardon me, but I have another request, if it isn't too much of an imposition. I was looking at Siska's character and I remembered that I actually do have a disability. A small one, but still.

I'm deaf in my right ear.

GAH jeez, alright... hang on...

 

[Celt Z]

I'm deaf in my right ear.

Oh, so that's the one we should be Nibbling on, then?

 

[GasBandit]

Alright, here's Gryfter and Gruebeard mk 4. I gave you an ear bandage instead of hearing loss, because "hearing loss" isn't deafness, it's only 50%. Ear Bandage means 100% non-functioning ear.

 

[Gruebeard]

Oh, so that's the one we should be Nibbling on, then?

You would not believe how much dirty talk I've missed, how many indecent propositions I've missed because I forgot to tell her I'm deaf in the one ear.

I don't understand how I've not learned yet either, because just recently after ending a date night I thought "oh shit, she was probably saying something."

I was joking about that ear because there wouldn't be much talking, since what I understand it's a literal Nibbling stat we share. But real-life Hugs, because that sucks, and I'm sorry, I didn't know it's a sensitive subject.

I was going for a joke - a woe-is-me type thing.

It's not a sensitive subject, though I may need some hugs for this post: It really sucks when I suck at a joke.



(I'm also now wondering just how many times I've made a woman feel rebuffed because I simply didn't hear her whispering a come-on in my ear)

 

[mikerc]

@GasBandit, can I get my hairstyle changed to SPSBeard now that facial hair is allowed?

 

[Dirona]

@Dirona - Sorry, only the Mary Sue wig can be rainbow, but you also can take 2 more skill points or 1 more interest point for your knee scar.

Phooey, I had guessed that, but had to try.

And I'll take another Shooting and an Artistic please.

EDIT:
Oh, and despite my prodding, I don't think @Eriol will be joining us.
So, Cheesy, I'm available!

EDIT EDIT:
I may have spoken too soon. I have been given permission to make an @Eriol. Though once that's posted, please make us strangers. Let's let RNG take its course.

 

[PatrThom]

If I were min/maxing, I would've chosen "Sanguine," but I picked "Optimist" because I felt it a more accurate personal representation.
I predict I might get this game in a year or two, though it won't be as much fun if I can't choose "GasBandit" as a narration option.
...hmm...think we could convince the devs to add one?

" 'Til death do us part" doesn't count for avatars, right?

I asked Mr. Z if he wanted in, but much like Halforums Academy, he finds it more more entertaining to watch me navigate on my own.

Pawns don't really have visible ears, so if it's only cosmetic and doesn't affect anything, it's probably not worth putting in.

Health Issues: I know Gas wanted me to add glaucoma, but when I was 18 I didn't have that. So I'm leaving this blank.

Traits:

* Night Owl
* Optimist

For the record, I'm basing this off of 18 year old me who was a very good shot with a rifle but not so good in hand to hand combat. This is a fair representation of how I was in my youngin' days.
