Quicksilver was a thug-bot, doing the dirtywork of some crimelord or another. As long as it had the best lubricants, spare parts and power sources, it didn't care. After a rent dispute with a group of monks, it was ordered to kill all of them, which it did. In the following weeks, it kept returning, cleaning up the evidence, reading the literature, learning their weapons, and finally moving in, a lone monk. It's boss burned the building to the ground, mostly for the insurance money, but also to punish Quicksilver for leaving.

Called Violet because of her violet eyes, Violet was displaced when her village was destroyed by a group of raiders from There. She roamed the frontier afterwards, dispensing divine retribution on those she saw as unfit, until she took a bullet from the 10 year old child of some "raiders" she had killed. Now she tries to make up for her past, helping people and telling them to enjoy what they have. It could all be gone soon enough.

Regarding the ethos that you two attempt to adhere to, would you prefer:

1. one of you rolls for it
2. both of you agree on it
3. I roll for it

on the list from the rules?

[kalstone]

I have no preference, so whatever Lance thinks is fine.

[Lance]

Well, based on our two backstories, the best fit seems be "live by the sword"

[kalstone]

Works for me!

Hop into the IC thread ... you were delayed by something, just caught up to your partners.

Sorry I've been awol this week -- I am under the influence of the big C. I'll be back with yous when the plague lifts

[kalstone]

Yikes. Hope you feel better.

I guess we need to decide if we are going to track this thing down or ambush it. It seems to me like the DM is hinting at tracking, but I'm ok with either choice.

Advantages: -

Merit: 0

Called 'Boomy' because of his predisposition towards explosives. Detonations in a close proximity to himself may have caused him to go deaf in his right ear- but that ain't stopping him from doin' it still.
He enjoyed being a soldier primarily due to the respect he earned, the booze folk bought him, and the access to free, high-quality firearms. Growing up in jail made him think he'd never have been able to do the things he's done, but he'll keep counting his greys as if they were leaves on a clover.


Specialty:
Grenadier - You can fire the artillery and
lob the thermal detonators. Skilled in Artillery
(d8), Explosives (d8); can carry two bulky items
without being hindered.

Peppermint is already dying. A flim-flam doctor whose killed more folks than he's cured, his body is riddled with a neural fungus intent of replacing his nervous system. The heat is supposed to slow it down. He has a wet, wracking cough, an unhealthy pallor, and nothing left to lose but a lifetime of guilt.
