[mcroft]

I appear ( X ) Human
Bod ( 3 ) Luck ( 5 )
Smarts ( 3 ) Looks ( 2 )
Driving ( 2 ) Bonk ( 5 )
Cool ( 6 ) Relationship With Adults ( 4 )

Bod: --looks like an asthmatic teenage punk, but lifts cars...
Smarts: --yeah, good, but doesn't apply it if it doesn't interest him
Driving: --Hey, I'll be good when I get my license! That's why I'm practisin...
Cool: --Whatever. I just do my thing, and other people want to play, too...
Luck: --Some days you call your stupid older sister and just the guy you're looking for answers the phone and you didn't even know you're looking for him
Looks: --looks like an asthmatic teenage punk
Bonk: --With the older brothers I've got? Yes, I'm tough
RWA: --The coach doesn't like him, but the music teacher does. And the cops know him by name, and sorta like him...

Exceptional Knacks, Talents or Skills:

Musical Genius (3) -- Can play anything, composes music, sings, records albums, plays in places he can't drink...
Alcohol tolerance (1) -- Never too drunk to perform, can drink a lot of people under the table...
Fighting Dirty (2) -- Yeah, sometimes I got ditched on the island, but sometimes I put the tack in your fancy fencing shoes...

Unusual Powers, Objects, or Abilities:

Objects: The Band! "Random's Big Drumstick" -- They always seem to show up when Random needs them. One of them has a station wagon.
Power/Ability: "Just What I Needed!" -- Random can always find what he needs, wherever he is. Does he need a pair of boots? Check the back seat. Does he need a pattern blade? Tougher, but let's look in that tree. Does Corwin need a pair of purple zebra parachute pants? (Course he does!), they're in that locker...

Ah. Is *that* how my character sheet is supposed to look?

Well, if you're playing Random in a Teenagers from Outer Space/Amber crossover run by Jack "The Ghoul" Gulick, and you're me, yes...

Very few other Amber games will have a 'bonk' stat. Also, I wrote more about my stats so that Jack could see where they were coming from.

And there's almost no serious game in which I'd allow "Just What I Needed!" What was Jack thinking, approving that?

I worked on my 'Ella sheet last night (with input from spouse), but I'm letting it percolate a little bit before I finalize my knacks/talents/skills/powers/etc.

Oh, and... um... last night I also figured out what I'm gonna wear.... :)
