I'm interested in joining, but I need some time to fill out the sheet. Doing it via phone is a bit too hard for my taste.

Take all the time you need.

I figure at some point, you're just gonna run outta fucks to give and just off yourself whenever you get hurt at all. It's not like there's any downsides to it. Hangover? Suicide will fix that. Stubbed your toe? Suicide. Headache? Suicide. Papercut? Suicide.

Are weapons supposed to be thematically consistent with your character or would they be something your character comes up with/would think would be cool?

Whichever you want provided that it's capable of both melee and ranged attacks.

Everything looks great thus far. Of course you don't have to add the bit about the Vice.

It's there to balance out the fact that my might/accuracy rolls will be almost doubled in some cases, and reinforce that he's meant to take out one target are a time.  I'm assuming there are existing penalties or restrictions on targeting multiple enemies in the same turn unless it's some sort of swarm marked as one unit.

Well, this seems interesting.

I’ll be watching this thread for now.

I went and made a sheet for this. Feel free to inform me of any problems.

Edit: Also, note that the Psyche is still subject to change. There's a couple of other ideas I'm also playing around with - I just wanted to have something on the sheet.

Everything looks great so far! Based on the description of your Psyche, you're basically using your Willpower, the sum of your mental determination, to boost a magical attack to make it 'Go Even Further Beyond' its normal power see what I did there? XP. This would not only mean that it's good for the same round you're using the magical attack in question but would involve using some of your Willpower to do so, having some remaining for any Willpower checks in the same round.

That's the idea, yeah. Is the sheet good to go in its current state, then?

It certainly is. I'd even updated the Google Drive files and the Player list.

PTW, might make a sheet somewhere this week if I find the time (and after actually reading the OP instead of skimming it).

Everything's looks great! Just as a note: your character will start out with being able to use only two connecting portals for the same of balance. Other than that, your app looks good!

Also, @Dustan Hache, I'd just realized that your character's Psyche could be overpowering. Would you like to have a duration or some other condition?
