Character Generation - Second Generation

[jemmus]

Wow. The pandemic years must have been worrisome for you.

[Rex]

Not really any more than anything else. I ended up getting Covid last year at the fourth of July. Somehow it turned out to be nothing worse than a cold thankfully. This run it with bronchitis has been much worse but I seem to be improving now. I learned a long time ago that I need to be smart, but not emotional or panicked. Both do you no good and just make your life not worth living. You do the best you can, don't beat yourself up when you occasionally fail (we all do/will) and ignore anyone who tells you otherwise (scientists/doctors included and I say that as a successful scientist).

[Marullus]

How are you feeling, Rex?

No rush. We'll start this back up once you're ready and finish the character.

[Rex]

Better, I am just catching up on everything I fell behind on. What do I need to do to wrap it up, I may be able to get to it Saturday.

[Marullus]

What do I need to do to wrap it up, I may be able to get to it Saturday.

Okay... using this sheet:

• You need to give her a first name.
• Check your attributes. It is set to Partially Encumbered so you can see what impact wearing your very nice armor has. You can balance to that.
• Pick skills.
  • You automatically have Court Dance, Bajitsu (horse), Kenjutsu (sword), Kyujutsu (bow), and all three written scripts.
  • Choose two more bugei. I assume you want Naginatajutsu. Choose one other from those on the sheet and set the rest of them to zero.
  • choice of 1 from: Armory, Bowyer, Go, Musical Instrument, Physician, Hawking.
  • Choose 1 Fine Art.
  • Set all other skills to 0 in column B.

[Rex]

Here she is. Let me know if I messed anything up.

Looks good.

New Sheet

As a strong Bushi, there's no reason for you to use a han-kyu over a dai-kyu. I switched it for you (and it does 3x damage).

[Rex]

Thanks. Looks good.

[Marullus]

Rex - your initial mentor will be your family member who serves on the Daimyo's bodyguard. Tell me who they are in relation to you and post as much of an introductory scene here as you like, covering the month leading up to the new chapter. Tell me what skill(s) you want him to teach you. You get 4 one-week bumps. I'll figure out the the math once you specify.

[Rex]

Relation is a maternal uncle.

Gozen will meet with her uncle and thank her for mentoring her in the ways of the Bushi. She wants to work on her Naginata, Bajutsu, Bow, and open battle strategy if possible.

[Marullus]

Total growth: +10 (62 total) in Kyujutsu (bow), +9 (34 total) in Bajutsu (horse), +11 (11 total) in Senjo-jutsu (strategy), and +6 (58 total) in Naginatajutsu. With our Faster Attributes rule, that also allows him to add 4 points to physical attributes.

[Rex]

So I will go with +3 to Deftness and +1 to Speed.

[Marullus]

New Sheet

Awesome. Sheet updated.

Go ahead and post on the IC thread.
