Wait, really? I need to look up Psi again, one moment...
Well, I found where it said that A.G.I.s can't have Psi, at least during character creation for the actual table-top RPG, here [http://eclipse-phase.wikispaces.com/Background#Backgrounds--Infolife]. Still, that doesn't rule out infection by the virus sometime later.
Really though, I doubt I could find a way to justify Invidia having Psi anyway, and I feel it would make her kind of... Ridiculously overpowered. Shes already a natural hacker and a close-range powerhouse, in my head anyway.

That... makes no sense. I know for a fact the virus affects A.I. because of an important element to the game setting (in the GM only part of the game book)... I'm guessing it just means you can't be created with it, but then the way they wrote it in the book doesn't say that. This is why people need to check each others work when they make big game settings.
I agree it would probably make your character over powered, but it shouldn't have ever been off the table, despite what the background part of the game mechanics says.
True, it is kind of weird... Oh well, I'm not concerned. I'm pretty happy with my character, though I may refine the sheet here and there. In fact, I forgot to give her a Muse... I may want to fix that.
I still can't think of anything for my character to have plot wise.
The Jovian thing for him is really seeing them as an extension of what led to the downfall of religion, that and the whole them probably trying to kill him if they saw the mechanical bits under his flesh or knew the state of his mind, then there's the part where they consider the Autonomists almost as big a threat as the TITANs.
The psi thing is justifiable for mine, but I agree I was expecting atleast one by now.
The Exsurgent virus can infect anything through any transmission vector imaginable including imagination. And if I remember correctly you can start with the Watts-Macleod strain. You require a 100% (Infomorphs, pods, and synthmorphs not allowed) organic brain to use any of the benefits however and if you don't have a 100% organic brain and are infected you become incredibly uncomfortable (stress, anxiety, and eventual madness).
2) Adelin was asked to join Firewall after holding a speech at a fundraiser event. He talked emotionally about putting aside differences and overlooking conflicts of opinion to work together towards the greater goal. That nobility and the will to do good is found in everyone. With tears in his eyes, he ended the speech by declaring that he would be willing to sacrifice everything, including his own existence, if it guaranteed the safekeeping of those he loved. Those tears were not fake, you could tell it from the expression of his eyes that he meant it. Such willingness to sacrifice for what's right together with his funds, social connections and combat expertise made him an ideal candidate for Firewall in the eyes of a Proxie. This proxie approached Adelin with the opportunity to join Firewall, an opportunity he accepted.
3) You see, Adelin (having matured quite considerably due to past events up to his puberty) considered that a "fancy" high school for the elite was nothing more than opulent stupidity so he joined a normal one. Here he met Gaby, the girl that became his highschool sweetheart. She is a soft spoken brunette of about 1,74 cm. A naive smile compliments the light freckles that cover her face. She comes from all to different background to Adelin's. She is a splicer from common background, yet so very special to Adelin. He felt that she liked him for who he was and not for what he had, something he cherishes up to this day.
3) I'd like to know about Gaby as an individual. What does she like to do? What's she want to be? What are her parents like (and what do they do). I just want to get a sense for how to play her as an NPC.
4) I noticed a pair of small errors in your backstory I missed originally that need a correction. First, the Planetary Consortium is only 10 years old, so you would have been born to some hypercorp executives. Please specify what kind of corp it is (just what products they make, maybe a name for the company if you're feeling fancy)
The second error is related and somewhat more important. The reason the Planetary Consortium is only a decade old is that earth only fell to the TITANs years ago. As a child of the hyper corps, you'd have been sheltered from the worst of it, but you were still only 14 years old when 95-ish% of humanity was killed in a terrible war - many of them the rich and powerful you would have known. You may want to expand on how you react to having survived the end of the world, since no one came out of the Fall of Earth without scars.
3) Soft spoken, lighthearted, appears naive and innocent in the way she acts and speaks but deep down holds a surprising maturity and determination to do what she thinks is right. Diligent when it comes to studying, desires to become a chemist. Her parents are similarly soft spoken, kind, easygoing and very liberal. Her mother is a worker in a chemical factory while her dad is a worker in construction (remember when I said a common background?)
4) I'm sorry for the errors, I should have read the lore more carefully. Adelin's father is the owner of Demetrios Industries, a weapon manufacturing corporation dealing in research & development of weaponry, defensive solutions and military-intended vehicles.
I would like to address the "scars of war" in dialogue with the other characters later along the story if I am allowed to
Okay; thanks for letting me know. Take as much time as you need. As I said before, I'll be leaving the signup thread open even after the game starts and that won't happen until at least the 5th of May
It's fine. I'm just a little sad that almost everyone is an Autonomist - It's hard to make all the characters suspicious of each other's motives when your all (theoretically) on the same side. That said, it's noting big or important to the plot.
I still can't think of anything for my character to have plot wise.
The Jovian thing for him is really seeing them as an extension of what led to the downfall of religion
Actually, the Jovians are some of the last hold outs for some of the world Religions (except Buddhism and Islam). Islam made it to space thanks to investment in space technology from the more Islamic parts of the world pre-fall, and Buddhism lends itself to the death and rebirth via technology that Transhumanism has embraced. Judaism - thanks to it's dependance on ethnic specific worshipers - didn't really survive the digitalization of the human mind and the fall of earth well. Christianity had a lot of ties back to earth (such as the Vatican) so when the Fall happened, their organization was cut off at the head. Hinduism didn't really survive the ability to change your body - it's kind of hard to argue you'll get a better state in your next life when you can get a better state in THIS life.
Say what you like about the Jovians, but they're pretty tolerant of all religions (just not Uplifts and A.G.I.)

4) That's all fine, but please make a reference to where you were during the fall and how you survived in the character sheet. Because your character would have been one of the closest to Earth, knowing how you were affected could change your character's response to certain game elements which I need to take account for in my plotting.
Looks interesting, been looking to get into a game of Eclipse Phase(recently got the source books). Got a few character ideas, I'll have one up tonight.
Just a few questions: Are we allowed to be members of one of the criminal organizations operating in the solar system? And are there limits on content we can draw from the books?

You can be a criminal so long as you are a member of Firewall as well. I don't know how much of the criminal element will be used as this is primarily a gatecrashing mission but you are welcome to it.
As for specific stuff from the books - you are free to use what you want, but I reserve the right to ban anything I feel would unbalance the game (the list currently consists of psi jammers)

Name and Alias: Doctor Kenneth Logan
Age: 42
Gender: Male
Species: Human, with bionic implants.
Appearance: Human bionic morph. Capable of ordering machines and executing programs without the assistance of remotes or radiowaves. He often is seen with little protection aside from several spheres rotating around him. Kenneth is always wearing a lab coat and is clearly not a combatant in the normal sense. Instead, his pakbot, which is capable of holding literally tons of weight while still moving a comfortable five to seven miles per hour, is small, about the size of a normal backpack, but holds his patented extendo-bots. Robots capable of shrinking and unfolding in order to be portable and heavy at the same time. He has black hair and brown eyes, is white in skin tone and has little else distinguishing him aside from eye glasses.
His two companion AIs are named Moroe and Leah. They both exist in AI shells and are capable of taking extreme damage. Moroe identifies as a male and weilds two electric powered vibro-swords, along with short range pistols. Leah identifies as a female and is a long range tactical expert, focusing on explosives and sniper fire. They typically work in tandem with either Kenneth or each other in order to complete missions. They both look clearly as an android and go for streamlined combat abilities, rather than non-threatening appearences.
Affiliation: Kenneth is attempting to make his own Seed AI, though he is nowhere near completion of it. He thinks that they can be raised in order to not kill humanity, and instead help it.
Personality: Kenneth has crazy ideas, and spends most of his time with machines. He named Moroe and Leah his children and seems to have never had a girlfriend in his life. Despite that, he has shown nothing but affection for his children and has a passion for AI building, seeing it as forging new life to have a chance to explore.
Goals: Finish good aligned Seed AI, further humanity and AI kind.
Psi: Kenneth found it advantageous to invest in a tiny bit of Psy abilities. This is where his ability to order robots without radio transmission comes in. On demand changes in programming, controls and commands can be done in an instant.
Notable Skills: If it involves a machine or robot, leave it to Kenneth. he is also capable of sustained combat as long as he has cover and while weak himself, has an array of gadgets and friends that can bring real hell to anyone in his way. He also has a vast knowledge on different security types and is able to identify how to get past nearly anything.
Equipment: Inside Kenneth's pack bot, can almost be just about anything. His favorite trick is a ball that unleashes dozens of tiny droids that either conduct electricity in horrifying ammounts, or unleash gas in a location. He also has charger bots, shooter bots, can set up slightly mobile turrets, has vehicle bots and damn near anything else one can imagine. Though, he usually has to restrain himself from bringing EVERYTHING on a mission. (Hiei will be getting a list of helpers brought on individual excursions.)
Moroe and Leah both have a wide arsenal, Moroe's more aimed at melee and close range while Leah's is longer ranged. They both are better at straight up combat than they are at hacking.
Back-story: Kenneth was discovered by Firewall when he had gotten word of a SEED AI's shelling location. Apparently someone had knocked a plate off of a SEED AI and it could prove useful in determining the overall frame of the TITANS, and for providing materials for later. As Kenneth, Moroe and Leah broke in, they noticed they were being followed. Once they had reached the shell, a small squad of Firewall agents came in and surrounded them. Kenneth talked his way into meeting with a high ranked agent and it was smooth sailing from there.
Firewall was interested in non-titan Seed AI for when the Titans eventually would come back. Kenneth being on the cutting edge of this, was quick to respond and while he typically is doing missions for Titan, if anything Seed AI related comes their way, it usually finds its way to him. The current state of his AI isn't functional yet, but he feels he is close to something big.

Okay; today is the last day for new characters in time for the opening post. If you still want to be in this (@Asclepion: or have a different character you want to submit), then this is your chance. (you have 14 hours, 34 minutes as of this post btw)
To everyone else; I'll be evaluating characters today; you'll get a quote sometime today saying yay or nah (with reasons for the nah if applicable).

Okay; finally had time to look at your character through and through.
I don't see any major problems. I made a few formatting changes for my readability (see above)
Just a few items of note; 1) as discussed Moroe and Leah are technically under my control (since they are effectively NPC's). 2) I'd like you to expand a little on the backstory so I can see where Kenneth came from and how he survived the fall of earth... you know, just so I have an idea of who your character is. 3) Similarly, I'd like to know how the A.G.I. behave - I can't play them if I don't know their personalities after all. 4) Is there anything you want me to try to work into the plot?
Otherwise, Provisional Acceptance Granted.
There's one last thing I'd like to know; where would you be and what would you be doing before you get the call from Firewall (for opening post purposes)?
Name and Alias: Shanoa (infomorph) / Arbalest (MFSM)
Age: 16
Gender:Female
Species: AGI
Appearance: She exist primarily as an InfoMorph, which is female in shape, lilac in color and general has long hair, and tends to be very pretty. When pressed into service by Firewall, she uploads her self to a custom Synthetic Morph/Flexbot hybrid of her own design that she calls a 'Multi Form Synthetic Morph'
Her Synthetic Morph stands 9' 9", is kinda bulky, has 3 fingers, a 'cyclops' style head where the 'eye' is on a track so she can look side even the the head it self is fully capable of turning, and tends to be gender neutral in appearance, save the feminine voice that comes from it where the 'flexbot' comes in, is in relation to how it gets around, which is be means of transforming it self in to an 'all atmospheres' aircraft and designed with the term 'air tank' in mind. As such it takes heavy ques from the now ancient A-10 Thunderbolt II, including the A-10s ability to fly safely even with heavy to critical damages, a trait shared by the 'robot form'.
case you don't know what an A-10 looks like
While still heavy (5,000 LB) for it's size, it's made primary of artificial Diamond for the combination of durability and light weight needed both for flight and maneuverability in robot form. The robot form is capable of hovering and even limited flight, where as the jet form 'can' survive re-entree, but it's not meant for it, and it lacks the trust needed to break free of an earth sized planets gravity well with out the help of auxiliary boosters (and extra heat shielding)
It should also be noted it's a purely mechanical body with no pretense toward 'blending in' as a human both in appearance and internal systems.
Affiliation: None officially since 'politics just get in the way', Though she has a pathological hatred for The Jovian Republic.
Personality: Shy around people, unless she's talking about her two great passions, a project she's working on, or flying.
Goals: none really besides R&D
Notable Skills: She is a brilliant engineer and programer, an ace pilot, bizarrely enough really good with kids. She is however, a rather awful hacker, and outside kids, socially awkward, she just doesn't know how to act around people, the fact she's an AGI doesn't help this. She's pretty competent in the use of all the fixed weapons on her MFSM, but she's not really a soilder. She's most at home ether in the air or in a lab building things.
Equipment:
fixed armaments:
Plasma Rifle (located in the nose in jet form, jet mode only due to transformation)
Rail Machine Guns x 2 (located in the 'pods' that would have housed the landing gear in jet form, located in the forearms in robot mode)
Monofilament Blades x 2 (located in the forearms, robot mode only)
The wings have racks (2 per side) for extra weapons or equipment if need be.
fixed systems of note:
A part the standard systems needed to operate both forms the only system of note is the Self Regeneration nodes scattered about the MFSM frame.
Back-story: Shanoa was created mostly on a whim by a now dead scientist, for no reason other then 'why not' which resulted in her love of building things and flight.
She's spent most her existence in Autonomist Alliance Space, ether cursing The Mesh and building things, mostly flying things for her to get around in for her own amusement or something some one tasked her with building, since she has the head for it. She didn't delevup her hate of Jovian's till a few years ago when she ran afoul of a few of them. She was out flying around the same section of space she always did when a Jovian patrol that had decided to move closer used her for target practice. This happened several times, even after she'd changed area's, which is when Arbalest started to take form, she simply had enough of it and was going to take care of the problem, and she did, much to the horror of the patrol that picked a fight with her, winning primary due to Arbalest being so far away from the norm in terms of what it was and the damage it could take and still function verses what she was up against.
However, that incarnation of Arbalest was pretty much totaled, while it did manage to ferry her back home, it was just simpler to build a new one, so Shanoa went back to the drawing board, this time, not out of spite, or revenge, but to improve her new creation, the fact that there would be more patrols gunning for her wasn't even registering as a 'thing'. So she vanished into her lab to work on her creation, poking out only to take care of what ever little thing some one wanted her to build.
Unknown to Shanoa, her 'victory' earned her the attention Firewall, and they began to monitor her activity as she refined Arbalest into it's current incarnation
Other: Shanoa has no knowledge of who created her, and given that her 'bodys' alt form takes ques from the past, she would like to know who it was that made her.
