Application, because why not.
I'm going to assume that spread thin unicorns may still take advanced/expert spells, as the revised rules don't state otherwise.

IRC Chat name: Rippedshadow

Character: Energy Flux

Sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc ... sp=sharing

Character Backround: Born to a family of scavengers, Energy Flux was an odd colt. He couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with any weapon given to him, but ask him to use magic and he'd probably wind up setting it on fire or boring a hole in it. His uncanny proficiency with multiple vocations of magic was noticed by the higher ups in Bleeding Heart's gang, and soon the stallion was roped into "service", using his talents to assist in keeping workers in line or bringing in new ones. Not prone to heckling slaves, Energy Flux was typically paired off with other "supervisors" when on assignments, who used him as a magical caddle prod to keep slaves in line. Overall, he was the least hated by the slaves, and only respected by his colleagues for his magical talents. Energy Flux was never exactly thrilled with his work, but he knew he probably wouldn't be able to find anything better, so he stayed.

His opinion changed during one of his usual rounds keeping slaves in check, when he recognized one of the ponies as a mare he had been friends with. After rounds, he approached her, and was immediately met with her trying to tackle him. A brief tumble later the mare, named Looking Glass, recognized him. Her shock was understandable, and a short conversation later, Energy Flux promised he'd try and see her when he could.

True to his word, he saw her every week for three months, before being found out by one of his superiors. In desperation, he quickly cooked up a plan to get Looking Glass out of captivity. When he almost had her to safety, a squad of five of his colleagues intercepted them, and Energy Flux was forced to try and fight. During the fight, Looking Glass recieved a fatal wound to her head, and the entire reason for the battle was lost. The slavers laughed as they told him that Bleeding Heart herself had learned of the escape and had directly ordered Looking Glass killed. In rage, Energy Flux killed two of the slavers and fled.

Knowing that his former employer had a bounty on her head, and knowing that she probably would want him dead anyway for defecting, Energy Flux decides that getting back at Bleeding Heart would certainly be more worthwhile then helping her.

First and foremost: Why don't you use the updated version of the sheet? >.<
Anyway, here is my application. Your estimated playtime is pretty fine with me, as 9:30 MST is 17:30 my time. Right when I get home from work.

Application:

IRC Chat name: f1r3w4rr10r

Character: Peakblossom "Mayhem" Thunderclap

Race: Minotaur

Sheet: Peakblossom "Mayhem" Thunderclap

Backstory:
This minotaur was born in a small mining settlement in the scoltlands. Her name given by her parents was Peakblossom. They were the leading mining clan in town, the Thunderclaps. Peakblossom learned how to handle explosives and more advanced, magical mining tools aswell as the good old handwork tools from a young age. They lived a simple, but relatively prosperous live in that little town.

Until "Bloody totem shit hit th' fan". Namely in the form of Bleeding Heart, who thought she wasn't paid enough for her "protection" services.
So it came to pass, that said slaver and her squad stood before the town's gates and demanded her caps. The townsfolk was about to give in, when Peakblossom volunteered to get the caps. As she returned to the wall, she threw a bag right before the slavers' hooves. It had a resounding "ting" to it. Just as caps make, when you drop them to the ground.

Every single one of those slavers, eager to bring their boss the money himself, stormed to the bag. As the first one touched it, the "Bloody totem's wrath" hit them right in the face. The bag exploded, sharp caps and maimed body parts flying everywhere.
What was left, was Bleeding Heart, splattered in blood and gore, totally in awe. When she regained his wits, she swore she would find that "bitch of a cow", who did this and promised her the slowest and most painfull death of all times.

As glad as the townsfolk was for her help, Peakblossom had to go. Out of fear for Bleeding Heart returning. She parted with a heavy heart. Since then, she used the name "Mayhem" to not attract additional attention. It is a reminder of what she did to those raiders, but also to a certain artist she always liked to hear on that old radio of theirs, to remind her of better days.

Now she has enough of a life in the shadows and decided, that she is going to deal with this whole problem once and for all.

IRC Chat name: Observer

Character: Integrity

Race: Pony

Sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc ... eUE#gid=55

Backstory:
Integrity is a has-been con artist, former leader of the Joyful Hearts Trading Company. Under Integrity's leadership, the JHTC scammed the people of the wasteland out of millions of caps wearing countless disguises and going by countless names. No matter how desperate a community's situation was, Integrity could always find a way to convince them that they had an even more terrifying problem which only he could solve, using a combination of his own charisma and illusion magic. Over a few short years, Integrity and his employees earned more money selling everything from plastic recorders to counterfeit multivitamin tablets than some gangs of raiders would see in their lifetimes.

The Joyful Hearts Trading Company would finally meet its match when they attempted to sell hundreds of thousands of caps worth of faulty lab equipment to Bleeding Heart's drug cooks. Bleeding Heart took several key members of the company hostage promising she would only release them after Integrity repaid his debt to her tenfold. In desperation, Integrity began to put together some of the most depraved scams the JHTC had ever attempted, deceiving their customers in such cruel ways that many of them would have quit if their friends and colleagues were not in peril. They returned to Bleeding Heart with her caps, haunted by what they had done to attain them, but when they did Bleeding Heart betrayed them, executing the hostages and opening fire on those who had returned. Somehow Integrity managed to escape with his life, but that alone.

Having lost his friends, his fortune, and all the resources needed to go back to his old life, Integrity has nothing left but the hope of someday taking revenge on the person he blames for ruining his life.

What IRC room are we using? Are you making a new one?

I ask, because I think it might be a good idea for those who are interested in the group to get acquainted, as well as make sure all of us (and you, the GM) are on the same page.
