Current I'll be somewhat absent the following week thanks to renovation.

Being a GM in tabletop can apparently mean driving your players insane - I was surprised how "well" everyone repsonded to being surrounded by crazies and care takers. Hope they get out in the end...

My love-hate always kicks in when learning words without an equivalent in other languages, and complex meaning. It is amazing the word exists, but hard to grasp its usage.

The strangest thing about learning new languages is still that they have words your language can only desribe and vice versa: Torschlusspanik, dépaysement, l'appel du vide, madrugar.

I am out on a tournament for the next two days - so less answers, but hopefully a fun weekend!

Bio

I have some experience (well rather some years of experience) in roleplaying, but I am rather new here.

This will most likely not turn out to be the most helpful Bio, especially as I am currently blissfully unaware and somewhat apathetic to everything concerning cosmetical possibilities. It is partly due to the fact that there is no fascinating, wonderfully rounded and polished characters - I just fought I would share some insights about the things I like.

For the roleplaying part I came here looking for something rather relaxed in a classical fantasy environment. More or less along the lines of a typical tabletop adventure or classical side quest (or row of side quests) in gaming. I am also fairly interested in longer, more elaborate plots but currently not in the position to think one up and keep it running.

Apart from that there is a broad variety of settings I am interested in. It ranges from historically themed ideas over to our current time and world up to futuristic scenarios, including post-apocalypting settings in this range. Any of those might be high or low fantasy. In short it is not one specific slice of things that is fascinating me, it is the possibility to dive into another world. That is the reason why there is also a small set of fandoms I like.

I prefer creating my own characters for a roleplay. This means that I can easily create characters requiring a set of skills, sometimes even character traits, but I often have a hard time to fill a pre-shaped role already described with character traits and (parts of a) backstory. For me this creation process is an important step when immersing into a new world.

Before finally concluding I should mention that the better part of my characters has at least dark spots in their history or behaviour. Many of the topics touched are mature, so if you feel unconfortable (or just aren't mature) please inform me beforehand. I usually also try to outline the problematic traits beforehand.

To round things up: If you found something interesting here, or have an idea that you want to share, just send me a message. It would surely make me happy!

It took a while to exchange the parts. Working with fuel was not necessarily nice, although waste systems were more horrible. It was just always somewhat... difficult. After a while she had gotten things in order. Just the recalibration was missing. She sighed and took a seat, half cramped between parts but at least she could sit for a moment and not awkwardly stand, bend forward or having something poke her sight.

One of the rather nice things was that the calibration would only be fonde on the real fuel and energy system. The ships AI had some control over it, but the connection could be stopped for the calibration. And for Noemi that made the calibration easier. She just needed to connect her little screen and started calbrating away. No tools. No charts. This was something she could do with her powers. It went quite a bit faster than with a screen and tools. A normal engineer would have probably not hit the 1 hour that was given to her. On the other side she decided to sit down a few more minutes before something appeared odd to the either way rather irritated captain of that ship.

About a few minutes less than an hour she descended onto the list and closed the compartment for good. Everything should be working and she was content with her work, smiling slightly. She just stood there for a moment, slightly stretching when a very, very unsettling sound reached her ears "What the..." the shout after explained everything and made her fall into a string of very colourful words. But she stood still. She was not dumb and this was not her first time being arrested "Civil.." She spit the word out and looked to the ground. As sigh escaped her as she kneeled down "Shut the hell up..."

She was getting a headache from this and she had not even started threatening or bargaining. But there would be the time for that. Just not here and now. Here and now they already drew too much attention. She snatched on the cuffs. At least those would not pose her any problem "You're not doing yourself a favor.." she slowly picked herself up again and gazed back at Alexis.
Not even insecure, insecure would mean they implement any kind of security and it is not working. Unsecured is the better term...

Well let's hope to attrat some more people interested in this mess.
If it is still open, I will also throw in a character.

Anything you require concerning magic?
Noemi just nodded. Most people were rather rough around mechanics and she did not expect to be treated with too muhc care. She also did not care all too much about this. She wanted to live her life and be free and that's what she did. So a little bit of harshness would not stop her "Sounds like a deal, I see what I can do." To be honest she would never, in no way, nbe able to meet the limit of one hour if the parts where not to be found in the junk.

While Alexis went to the AI she went back up into the ship again to scan which parts she would need. Some things were really easier done with a device - like the scanning. A slight vibration at her wrist indicated when each scan was complete. She nodded and helped herself back to the ground, grabbing her little helper and marching toward the junk pile.

She nodded again as she passed Alexis and moved on.

The pile - which was really rather a room - was just outside the 50 meter radius. And it had a back window. To bad Noemi had no idea what she had just gotten into with the woman she was helping. It would either way be quite obvious, she was the only female around aside from AIs. She made the robot get the small things she new that were there from the dispenser. She herself turned to a bigger pile and cautiously began searching through. She was sure she had seen it...

After a good five minutes she found the part she had been looking for which was rather specific for old ships for efficiency reasons. That made the fix a realistic one hour of work.

With a grin on a face she returned to the damage ship and her client, again turning to help herself up to the fuel parts again.
Oh regarding embedded systems there are many worrying things. One of my favorites was someone who took security cameras and not only got into I think all of them, but was able to even pull a classical loop effectively sending wrong images.

In guess I know why I wanted that direction...
That sounds awesome! And worryingly realistic.

But I guess I can now imagine how things would work :)

I would be very very keen to see that.
Anybody interested?
Alright, I tried making up my mind and laying out knowledge but I guess I get one problem or another with creating a pair that will interact.

I would love to get someone who is, from either sides but most likely the hackers, aiming at embedded devices. May it be cameras, lock systems or more dangerous things as personal medical devices, cars and such. Mostly centered around those things because they just ignore or can't handle the strain from implementing the required protocols. (Small computational power and memory space, that direction). As those things are physical I guess a good bit of social engineering is also needed. What I imagine it isn't even so much about getting money from it or anything, the aim is rather to get people to understand how insecure their life is n this part.

The counterpart is given me a little bit of an headache. I suggest that it would most likely be someone teaching people about social engineering and such - partially because it is an effective protection which does not require a ton of research, partially because it goes quite well in the pairing.

Another question would be how this should unfold, right now I can probably imagine some interaction between the two but I am still a little bit at loss concerning plot, who I would interact with or ... well anything.
Very interested! I am going to look in the OOC in a few moments
That's awesome!

I would love to do it! I just need to work a while on the idea. And maybe the possibilities...
