Psssh, that's not even close to ghost pepper level. Ghost peppers are like....1,000,000 on the Scoville scale. I ate a few Trinidad Scorpion peppers once.
My cousin won a competition once. He managed to eat the seed of a California reaper... He claims he couldn't taste anything for weeks after that...
Well yeah. That probably seared his tasted buds right off his tongue. Isn't the reaper supposed to be over 2 million SHU or something like that? *returns to lurking*
Looks like it's actually 1.57 million SHU for the reaper. 2 million SHU would be on the same level as US law enforcement grade pepper spray. Still not something you would want to stick in your mouth though. Ehhhh....sorta? Habaneros are quite spicy, But I would say they are pepper spray levels of hot.
It was only a single seed, not a whole chili. But still... Damn... Also, apparently civilian grade pepper spray is around 500k or so scovilles. (Also just got done watching the latest Gotham episode. It's just so damn good this whole series... Nygma is officially among my top favorite characters ever. Period. Just letting you all know, if you haven't gotten to him yet, he's frickn' great..."
Why is everyone asleep when I'm awake dog gamnit! Also, if your there dusty, the sanity thing doesn't mean in mad at you for not joining. Just wanted to be clear. I just needed something to exercise Harold's Spoiling spoiler...
Updated OP to contain detailed (and potentially useful) autopsies about the various characters in the RP... Including the previously deceased from Untold... (Looking at you @The Alonne )
Oh what the heck, here. Take this app. Name: Olan "Flare" Vaneskii Age: Mid to early 20s Race: Avian Alliances: USCM (Former) Redtail Securities (Defunct) Description: A medium-light build (140 lbs), yet lanky (About 6' 5") specimen of the Avian species, muddy dark greenish colored feathers. Moves quietly and quick on his feet, he stands up straight at least. Gives an outward initial appearance of a calm, cool and collected marksman. Personality: Caring, friendly usually panicked/worried to some degree, speculative, inquisitory to a fault, knows how to take a hint, breaks easily under pressure. Traits (Good): Fast and light, usually aware of things, excellent marksman, his feathers blend into foliage easily. Traits (Neutral): Enjoys collecting postcards, plays the violin, prone to snapping a bit when bored. Traits (Negative): Easily panicked, afraid of the dark, He can (doesn't mean he will) snap, or get pushed off the deep end and ending up shooting someone/something. Stats: Strength: 5 Perception: 20 Endurance: 6 Charisma:5 Intellect: 10 Agility: 9 Constitution: 5 Dexterity: 8 Will: 6 Sanity: 6 (Ah yes, the SPECIACDWS system) Inventory: Camouflaged steel full tactical armor ESSR-21c Gauss marksman rifle, paratrooper carbine. (7.62mm variable munition flechettes) The ESSR-21c is a compact folding stock version of the popular rifle, in the human 7.62mm caliber it fires flechettes that can range from simple "dumb darts" to self-guided (and expensive) HE missiles. It is also a magnetically fired weapon, meaning light recoil, and incredible muzzle velocities but it requires two ammunition types. The flechettes themselves and a solar-powered capacitor. P-44c Lightweight, compact, integrally suppressed pistol. (45. ACP) Personal Data Tablet Load bearing backpack Flares High powered flashlight (Almost blinding) Survival kit (MREs, toiletries, stimpacks, Olan's favorite postcards, etc) M36 Survival Knife Backstory: Olan was born into a grounded Avian settlement on a borderworld, where he became the beloved little brother of all the young birds in the village, meaning that his entire childhood was full of pranks played on him. The final defining "prank" was when a kluex-loyal warship warped to the planet unnoticed and began firing into the town at night. Poor little Olan was then constantly afraid of the dark, first because of the torment of the other children and the sight of all the people he had ever known killed in front of him from some unknown assailant. His parents managed to grab him and take him offworld before he was killed as well. After this, and a few years amongst the stars, he willingly drafted into the USCM xeno detachment (pretty much the French Foreign Legion in SPACE!) during a campaign against the influences of Kluex, where he served as a sniper. He later was dropped out of service because of his reputation as "Flare" regarding his fear of the dark and his use of flares, which almost burned down the HQ of his battalion. Out of service and looking for work he joined Redtail Securities, a fledgling private security company on their first foray into an actual contract. Sadly, this was not the case, as he's now stuck in this hellhole they call the Twentieth Sector. Start: Olan finds his ship, the RSC Zephyr has managed to crash land onto σπß-42's Rasq. The zephyr has already sent out an emergency distress signal, all alone, he hopes to survive. That should be enough for tonight, but I'll be watching.
Yaya! Finally another player on Rasiq! I think I may know just how to incorporate you. Just know I am going to exploiting the hell out of your fives. Be careful what situations you get yourself in. (Though if he's a marksman, I think you probably intend to switch DEX and PER, as they are Melee as range skill respectively)
I'll take that in mind, I like torturing the hell out of my characters too, so that's why there's so many fives. (I guess I need to recheck the skills, once I've got that sorted out I'll start posting in the actual thread. Edit: I switched them around, but how bad is having a five? It's just half of 10.
Think of "10" as a normal person's ability. 5 would be a specialized person, or someone with a disability.
Gotcha. I'll rebalance real quick. But shouldn't something more like 7 or 8 be normal? There are 10 skills, but we only get 80 points to start off, so in order to have 10 points (the norm) in something, that'd mean that you'd have a 0 in two of them. Edit, well, duh. Of course you want a 5 instead of a 0.
Hmm...that doesn't seem right. In RPGs, usually 10 means that you are extremely skilled, 5 means you are average, and below 5 means you have some sort of a disability or problem in that specific skill or stat. It is better to have a 5 than a 0...because you at least get a chance at succeeding with a 5.
