Jason will become an NPC; to make things easy, we'll just say he's been in the background the whole time so everyone knows him and he knows what's happened so far.

Oh, I didn't know we were going to hand wave my new character being there. I actually wrote a hook to get him into the story in the bio I sent you.

Just pmed you Boost; love the background stuff, but we'll stick with Alex having been a part of the group all along.

I'm curious, and you guys don't have to answer if you don't want to, but what do you guys do for a living? Or are you students?

I sell paint in the Austin area, nothing exciting.

Since Fenris already has him Ten Chin Tony grabbed, I think that I can just Restrain Him. Dustland, did you read Bashman's wrestling precision? I like it.

IRL - I'm between jobs, so I'm going back to school to start my PhD.

Yah I read Bashman's reply; I hadn't really thought about "stacking" restrain results, but it works and it's simple. If that's Fenris's action this page, go for it; what action will he be restraining him from?

Mind if I ask what your PhD will be in?

Really? I beg you to reconsider :P
It would be a great roleplay opportunity!
And it wouldn't slow down the game very much. Roleplay between players is quite fast.
Boost new character would feel a bit fake if he 'just' appeared.
Just my humble opinion.

I'm a ... fresh Lead environment Artist in a new video game company.
For now i'm not that weighed down with work (that's why I often lurk here^^)

If this a democracy, I would vote for role-playing Boost's new character as opposed to hand-waving. It would allow me to better understand the dynamic between Fenris and the new PC.

I agree with Volsung that outside combat, we would role-play the interaction very rapidly.

My two cents.

I have a bachelorate in both Biology and Geology and the equivalent of a masters degree in Educational Sciences. I've also got formation in other areas.

As a job, I'm a (sciences) High school teacher, and also a book author.

Science educational ones: Exam preparation, exercises, pedagogic differentiation for different skill levels etc.

I'm a software engineer for HP working as a government contractor. I work in a sensitive area so my contact with the outside world is minimal during the day.

Fortunately, our office has a single unclassified workstation that I can sneak into at odd times and check the web. But don't tell anyone... ;)

I have an Associates Degree in the performing arts, and am continuing my education right now. Of course, due to the difficulty of transferring credits I'm forced to start over from the beginning :(

Bowing to player's wishes, there will be an "intro" for Boost's new character in the next scene since it should be a largely rp scene (unless something goes horribly wrong!)

First you guys have to take down Ten Chin!
