Topic: Paranoia: Adventures in Clonesitting
Subject: Reduce reverb by 150%, echo by 200%, and tune... yes... I'm getting something.
Artie winced at the loudness, but even with the high echo, he found that the speaker played sounds in a relatively consistent pattern. A computer could translate it. Or, someone thinking like a computer.
"Understood, I have no questions." Artie murmurred, rubbing at his back while still crouched in the uncomfortable position, "Standing by for the bot's arrival, unless anyone else has questions."
All in all, it seemed straightforward enough. He just hoped that he wouldn't forget his manners and the precautions to take around a Green. And he also seriously hoped that this... stuff... would wash out of the uniform. Would they have time to change uniforms? Probably not, they probably would have to make time. Unless there were ones that were provided in addition to the other supplies. Oh well, one thing at a time. No point pondering futurevariables when time t of present was not greater than or equal to the approximate t of when the futurevariables could be determined.
Ideally, he'd be at the speakers to re-adjust them, but he was on the big side, and had to question how well he could get past the others to get to the front to do so. Not to mention his knack for stumbling. In this scenario, a wrong stumble could result in... well, not that good of an idea. Still, if anyone asked, and they were willing to try, he'd have no objections. As it was, he thought he understood the majority of the message.

Subject: Oooh
As team leader, I wholeheartedly approve of this notion of asking questions. I approve of it so much that the others are completely allowed to ask questions. Perhaps even encouraged to ask questions.
Hmm, I seem to be able to translate without too much troubles... *continues reading*
EDIT: Post up! Leaves everyone else to wonder if Artie has the correct interpretation or if they think they need to ask questions, for the good of the mission of course.
SIde note, I keep hearing GLaDOS's voice for the Computer 
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake

Topic: Dawn Falcon Q&A
Subject: Ambiguous wording
No worries, you did put that in your bio, but the wording was ambiguous enough to warrant further questions. He's the newest recruit, that's what we know, but the question to be answered is, is he to be recruited in the beginning of the game or was he already introduced to membership with the crew?
And then, the next question is, where he is at about the beginning of the game?

Topic: Dawn Falcon Q&A
Subject: You may have
There's a few roles I can go over the top with in regards to figuring things out and getting hyperactive with theories floating around my mind.
Low tech/no magic environment: Jury-rigger - making stuff that's useful out of what is available.
Low tech/high magic enviroment: Magic theorist - figure out how magic works.
High tech/no magic environment: Hacker/Cybernaut - VR is your friend. Or Techie - pushing tech to the extreme
High tech/high magic environment: Any of the above and Magitech theorist - bringing two worlds together that were already the same world to begin with; just that no one ever realized it
Steampunk is kind of intermediate between low and high tech, since it has elements of both.
Elly, therefore, is both a jury-rigger and a techie

I think I know how Sully's eyes work o.o
Now the questions are, am I right, and would Elly be able to figure it out and would she be able to use that knowledge to give Sully the best lookout devices ever?
This butterfly will think on this new development...

Topic: Dawn Falcon Q&A
Subject: I can picture it now...
A wall blows up in front of Ardis for no apparent reason, and a blackened person with a bunch of brick blows past him, he turns to look at the blown-up person, hears a voice behind him, "Oh, sorry! Did I hit you too?"
And thus a young(er) Artis met Engie. No awkwardness involved, just an explosive Engie grinning sheepishly at Ardis through a blown up wall.
Edit: Would there be any dodge charms on sale? You can never have enough dodge charms  Joking

Subject: Elly...
Probably just sent (npc) assistents out with a list of materials and spare parts to fetch. She prefers to stay on the ship while docked, since if she was spotted... well...
Let's just say she does *not* want to be dragged back 'home' kicking and screaming She may be an adult, but her parents definitely never treated her like one.

Topic: Crew of the Dawn Falcon
Subject: Explosion in workstation b3- wait, false alarm, Elly at work
Elly (also answers to Engie)
Born and raised in the city, Elly was born into a life of luxury. Such a life did not suit her tastes, however. She loved to tinker with things. When she got a musical jewellery box as a little girl, she took it apart and put it back together as a hobby. She still has the box, in her room on the Dawn Falcon, consistently retuning it and changing the melody cylinders to play different songs on a whim. As a result, she ended up enrolled in a school for mechanics.
There were several incidents that occured over the course of her school life, yet, even as she was first deemed dangerous, it eventually became clear that for her explosive results now and then, she had real talent when she put her heart into what she built. However, one incident would change the course of her life. A transfer student came into her classroom, asked to work with her, and called her 'shorty'. Despite the attempt at an affectionate nickname, everyone in the room immediately knew something would happen.
Sure enough, halfway through the hands-on class, Elly blew the transfer student through the wall in her overeager state to show how talented she was, refinishing a furnace piece, as well as get him back for calling her short. As it happened, Ardis was passing by in the street. He wasn't hit but that would be how Ardis first encountered Elly. It wouldn't be long before she dropped out of school to join Ardis on the Dawn Falcon. She didn't even make any remark about how young he was to be captain; it was as though she didn't care how old he was. She just found him and the ship absolutely fascinating, having never even seen outside of the city.
Perhaps that makes her a runaway. As it stands, however, Elly couldn't be happier, being part of something much bigger than she was exposed to in her safe, comfortable life in the city. Plus, she got along well with the ship. She didn't complain at the occasional explosion, and Elly kept her running well.
Description: Elly is small. There is no denying that fact, as she stands at a full 5' flat. In addition, she absolutely hates being called short. Despite her small body, she is not completely slender, leaning a bit on the muscular side due to often carrying around spare parts and tools. She tends to wear overalls and gloves, partly because she's almost always working on something, and also to cover up the burn marks along her pale skin. Elly does have nicer attire from her life in the city, but prefers not to ruin her nice clothes by working in them. She always has her toolbelt with her, and very consistently will have the right tool for the job, due to the number that she carries. She wears simple glasses, mostly when working as she's farsighted. While she's wearing her glasses, her eyes are a bright blue, alert and keen. When she's not wearing her glasses, however, her eyes are a deep blue, more like reflecting pools in the way the irises look. She has black hair, haphazardly cut to a short length, uneven and almost messy looking, due to maintaining it herself. A salon worker, Elly is not. She never talks about her hair beyond the basic answers, or why she adamantly keeps it cut.
Elly always knows exactly where an explosion took place, and also has a strange talent for surviving them, on occasion being completely unharmed, particularly if the explosion was caused by her. If asked about it, she just shrugs and mentions offhandedly something about 'dodge charms'.

Topic: Dawn Falcon Seeking Crew! Steampunk Inspired Freeform
Subject: Eol!
Hi there
If you're navigator, I'll be sure to come up with some sort of highly complexicated clockwork spyglass for you...
Make way for the explosions! Elly coming through!
Needless to say, Elly would also have been available for a couple of years on the ship already if there were particular devices that people would like to have attempted. Kriea has final say of course, but I'm pretty sure I'd have a good idea of what Elly can and can't do with clockwork and steam tech
Now where did I put those plans for a flintlock-gun-scythe...

"Nonono! This gear has to be turned flipways in order to align with this one and regulate the pressure release valves for the coolant to circulate properly around this junction! Yes, the other one it's currently connected to is important, but I'm going to get to that in a moment. You just keep working the hand crank while I make the necessary adjustments, before I connect it back to the pump flow. Don't stop, or we're gonna be monster chow! What? You didn't hear there is a mountain range chasing us? Nevermind then, just keep it up as if your life depends on it, or don't, whichever motivates you more. I'm going back to work. Stop telling me how to do my job! I know what I'm doing!"
Totally what went through my head when I read 'engineer'
Side note: If you're wondering what's being talked about by a 'mountain range chasing us', google image search 'Jhen Mohran'... it's pretty big

Topic: Paranoia: Adventures in Clonesitting
Subject: This warrants investigation
The objective area was located, and so, all that remained was to gather and move forward.
"Blowz, relay message for rendevouz, here asap, except Slipp. Once gathered, we move to him."
With that done, all that was left to do was wait.
~~~ *after group assembles and gets to the entrance*
"Good work Slipp," Artie nodded to the officer, before looking down the tunnel.
The passageway was not the most pleasent to say the least. Still, the Computer had to know what was happening, so, all that needed doing was moving forward.
"Brighte, take point. Steam, second. Slipp. Blowz. Me. Ammpe."
(Apologies on lateness. I make no excuses. Excuses is treason. Last part may be edited accordingly depending on what happens re: Slipp's match light )

Topic: GOODDAY: Welcome to Pyron
Subject: Just to be clear
I am expecting something regarding the character to be PM'd to me by those who are interested. It'll kind of look like a resume, except, not for an actual job (unless you want it to be, applying for something in Pyron, but that's your decision)
Should look similar to this:
Name:
Archetype/Inspiration (if applicable):
Age:
Ethnicity:
Appearance:
Citizenship: Pyron [immigrant/resident/tourist]
Hobbies:
Occupations (past and current if applicable):
Reason for why they are visiting Pyron (if applicable):
Background:
It's basically a character sheet without the numbers. I call it a profile After all, I can't generate the statistics or campaign without any information on the characters I'm working with.

Subject: Fresh m-er, friend!
Glad to have you aboard!
I'll go easy on you (no I won't)
From the sound of your post though, you already have a good understanding of the setting, and that's always a good thing
To clarify, just in case it's needed, Artie's notion is splitting up the group, so that if you connected the dots of each person's position, you'd end up with an X, with Artie and Blowz at the centre, and the others investigating different offshoot passages.

Topic: Gender Roles (an unorganized possible feminist rant)
Subject: ^ +1
Totally agreeing with Kriea here re: the boyfriend. If he's overstepping his bounds and deciding stuff for you without your consent, then clearly he is not worth keeping as a boyfriend; first it's characters, then could be finances, names for the children, where the house is... not saying it always goes that far but it can just spiral.
"To love one another is to walk through life together and to choose the path that is most beneficial to the both of you." To elaborate on that, it requires understanding between both sides. If he wants a semi-submissive girlfriend that he can decide things for, and you don't want that role, then that's not your fault and the relationship shouldn't be pushed forward.
Of course, the best thing is to just talk about it. If you don't like something, tell them if you haven't already.
That aside, to me, the most important thing is to play characters I can be comfortable with. That's why I tend not to play male characters myself; I usually don't feel comfortable about it, and that's my own reason.
I'm totally agreeing with Kriea's point about how race/gender are more like guidelines in D&D. The game is making a book or movie. Books and movies are more interesting with a variety of characters that don't necessarily follow externally placed expectations.
There's a reason why 'outcast' character's aren't out of the question, as long as they're done well

Topic: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Subject: For me
I prefer my dual wielding... although if skyrim had scythes, then maybe I'd pick up some two-handed
Guess it still counts as shooting... only, I don't use arrows.
I use a supercharged lightning bolt (dual cast) 
Or, if I'm in need of souls, use dual conjured blades (have the soul steal perk for those... so much better than soul trap spell)
Not human souls though
That'd be evil
Everyone knows Reralaes aren't evil faeriecats

Topic: Gender Roles (an unorganized possible feminist rant)
Subject: Hmm
Located in Complete Adventurer, Dungeon Delver is a prestige class with Rogue as the most likely foundation. I'm looking for a Base Class.
On further thought, that actually might be the primary reason why rogues are common. When it comes to class skills, the Rogue has the widest range available to it, which makes it a strong candidate for people who like skills to reflect their character's background, as well as for minmax players.
Continuing further, that's probably the main reason why I seldom play a Fighter; they get so few skills, which makes it really difficult for a Fighter's sheet to reflect a character's background if it deviates at all from the standard 'military recruit' archetype. Or at least that's the feeling I've gotten.

Now I'm tempted to make a Dwarven Prospector, adventuring to find a new mine for her people.
Although, what sort of class would that even be Needs appraise, but not exactly sure how the rest of the skill requirements manifest.
