[PTU][Aatos] The Green Riders of Galla

See ya, GS. Good luck!

A quick update on how I envision this.

I'm going to play a little fast and loose with overall structure - I am normally a very rigid GM with all sorts of rules and stuff, but that's been responsible for several dead games.

I am trusting you guys to be honest with your character sheets. I AM checking every sheet, but I'm not the rules lawyer I once was, and TBH its been a while since I played PTU anyway.

I am also considering a CO-GM to help with certain aspects (ie, encounter gen, NPC conversations, etc.) If you're not sure you want to play a trainer but still want to be involved in something, message me (or Skype).

With no Pokedex, there is no Dex XP (I know.). Instead I will do my best to increase Trainer XP accordingly. Furthermore, once you catch a seventh pokemon, one of your pokemon is teleported to the Repository at Ranger HQ for safekeeping. They can be retrieved at a special Symbol circle that can be found in any settlement or fort.

Yes. For the specific items it lists.

And you're always welcome to use a Poke Ed check as a shift action to get some meta knowledge.

What do I do with pokemon that evolve early, like Beedrill? Do I have to start with a Lv. 10 Weedle?

In the final-est moments, I submit Aethus Lionsmane. Second son of a lesser noble family and tired of living in his brothers shadow, he's joining the Galla Rangers in hope of forging his own path. While he's capable with people and good with a sword and shield, he's rather inexperienced in the ways of the world, having grown up in the life of the wealthy.

Intended to be a paired app with Robot, but didn't quite have enough time to come up with a shared backstory. Oops.


Sheet!

A few things left to do on it (namely buying equipment, as I need to find out weapon and shield pricing), but besides that it should be all done (by midnight).

Y'all just had to make this more difficult. The list will be up in a bit.

The cut-off IIRC was 11:59pm EST.

Here we are.


First.  I am pleased to announce that Faithless will be acting as assistant GM.  Should he post in the IC thread, treat it as you would treat my own posts.

Second. Out of the apps I received, I am happy to say that none were incomplete at time of consideration.  I encourage every to elaborate on their backstory, where appropriate.

Third.  I want to say that I honestly liked almost every single app I received.  I appreciate the time you took to develop and post them under such fierce constraints.  The bad news is, not all of you made it.  Its just how things go.  The good news is, many of you did, and I'm going to attempt to run a few more characters than I planned.  So see below for your team.  I am going to get a good night's sleep and get those intro posts in the morning (roughly 8 hours from now.)  Again, I'm really sorry guys. I really wish I could run a game with everyone!
