+1 fake science

hi kids

as a part of his ongoing defense mechanism to existence, tony will be making a point of scouting out rift activity and using some local methods of scientific measurement to gain understanding around anchor-shard interaction with rifts. this is data gathering, so he will either be tagging along with people intending to go out already, or forming up his own groups of literally anyone willing to do the work.

this is a post looking for people who want to join in, both in a handwaved cr capacity or onscreen at your liesure. there will be several excursions of this ilk!

dream participants include:
  • obviously other people with likeminded scientific curiousity, researchers, mages, etc.
  • people with anchor-shards available to help provide readings and also actually close rifts
  • people with Big Swords or Magic Fire to take care of the demon problems while tony ducks behind a bush and takes readings, and probably participate in arguments about how long the rift needs to stay open
  • some poor person/s bullied into and willing to take tony's notes for him.

    end result is mostly just some reporting and sharing findings, but also friendship.

    comment here if you're keen, indicate if you're down for handwaved/scening something/both, and a little of what your character would like to do.

    mhavos is always available for this shit because 1) he enjoys this kind of note taking bullshit 2) he actually finds tony funny but no one can ever know

    also if there are any high profile excursions (rifts where People Are Watching) eshal might volunteer to capitalize on some diplomatic crap and also shes good with the stabs. might aggressively flirt with tony. sorry about that

    handwaving or not handwaving is fine by meeeeee

    ellis doesn't know from science but he carries a big old mace that's good for hitting demons and probably eventually instigating some sort of discussion about hey it's been like four hours maybe we should close the rift

    It's the RIGHT THING TO DO, sir.

    Kitty can close rifts and is very curious and would really get drawn into the scientific, researchy conversations! And would also be really annoyed by Tony's personality. win-win.

    Very keen! Julius is, as previously mentioned, a nerd and easy to tempt with "how does this phenomenon work." He also does have magic fire, if necessary.

    Also I'm too lazy to make a separate comment, but Romain has a strong interest in "how do the shards work (and how can we safely take them out of natives)" which could definitely lead to crossing paths there too.

    spreads my characters out on the ground before you

    Val is a Professional Academic and he's not terribly interested in the rifts and stuff, seems like rifter problems and nothing to do with him a handsome elite researcher but could def be tricked into getting interested. he loves field research more than life itself.

    Salvio will never leave the Gallows but if he gets a bunch of notes to transcribe he'll be so happy. will also take dictation. loves it.

    Matthias is a fighty baby war veteran mage so he's got the magic and he's friendly and impressionable and likes to go on trips. currently unsure about rifters which makes him want to get closer to them so he can be less afraid.

    what's UP i have a mage who would be nosy, my dwarf lady is also good at hitting/shooting stuff. i need to think about it more when i'm awake to provide useful information but commenting for posterity
