So as it stands there is a city of cardboard cut out NPCs, and two characters.
Dark Energy and Rex are in the bar next to the airport playing cards for the next bottle of whiskey.
Meanwhile, on the far side of town, a TW stagecoach rolls to a stop and two men come out. The first wears glasses and a bowler hat and is looking a little worn. The second comes out smiling like his teeth are pistols in a gunfight, shining and dangerous. As the silvertongues 'slinger starts in on a welcome speech to the city at large the man in the bowler examines one of the cardboard citizens.
"Hello people of WyNeKota! As your governor it is my lucky duty to announce that the North Prairie Railroad will be-" He is interrupted in mid sweep of his arm by his assistant in the bowler.
"Mr. Governer, these people are dummies!" The .45 caliber smile thins as the lips squeeze out an admonition at the frayed assistant,
"Of course they are, how do you think I got elected?"
*rimshot*
OK seriously though, we got two folks in town. How about the results of the big meeting xaq?
I can has backstory for Christmas?

Yeah, we pretty much have to. So many of us are going to be on vacation and puting together other stuff for the holidays so I don't expect stuff to get rolling.
I'll just keep the thread from rolling over and let you all know when we're ready to get started. If you can believe it, I'm planning on this to be even slower than the D&D game. My ability to post daily is dependant on how busy we are at work. This week we've been really slow, after the 1st we'll probably be busy again.
I do plan on using a lot more PMs in this game though. As a Vampire Storyteller I use private notes like most people use their feet.
All the time.

Because a)we suck, and b)xaq was the Mayor of Busytown while I was in Deadmonton, we didn't get much of a chance to talk about our characters for Rifts, but we're old friends and can pretty much play off each others cues. We'll say that Rex and Karsh have left their current merc company for "greener pastures" and the search of employment more geared towards adventure and excitement and less towards guard duty and latrine digging.
We've heard that there are still undiscovered cashes of Pre-Rifts artifacts in the Wilds of the West and we're looking for other hearty adventurer-types to go exploring with. It's hard to make any money sitting on your butt in town, after all.

And the Student was Owned,
And Knew it.

Sure, this will work fine. Some more detail:
Karsh joined with the mercenary company Joren's Raiders down in Fort El Dorado, several years ago. The company worked their way northward over the years, fighting in some of the Coalition border wars up through Minnesota and eventually came to the wilds of old Canada. It was there that Karsh and Rex first met... Rex had fled the Coalition states and had traveled west from Ironheart, and found a temporary home with the Raider's. The work was far from pleasant... Joren's Raiders were working for a group of Canadian Rangers at that time, hunting Xiticix on the old Manitoba border. It involved a lot of fruitless searching through untamed wilderness and sudden night battles with the well-organized Xiticix... and since Karsh and Joren, leader of the company, had been butting heads lately, Karsh was getting all the nasty jobs. He and Rex, the only two obviously-inhuman members of the company, quickly became friends and so when Karsh finally got fed up with the situation, Rex chose to go with Karsh when he left.
Since then, the two of us have been traveling southwesterly, searching for greener pastures, better paying work, and adventure. After a week or so of travel, we find ourselves cresting a rise and looking down upon the small community of WyNeKota. In need of a good hot meal and a bath, we make our way down into town...
(Anything to add, Rex?)

Alright, looks good Alina!
So we've got three PCs worked out, Karsh and Rex are at the bar near the airport and we'll say that Dark Energy has gotten to know Pedro over the past few days.
That leaves the burster, saddle tramp, and mind melter... right?

Thank you for letting me join. I'm very excited to be playing Rifts after all these years.
Background:
Born in a small cabin near the Canadian border of Montana, Morgan Elaison has spent all twenty-seven years of his life so far in the search for knowledge, truth, and inner peace. His father was a Mystic and his mother was a Scholar. He studied his father from the time that he was able to crawl. Frequently finding his father in a meditative state, he imitated this action starting at the tender age of 3. His father encouraged Morgan's curiosity, though he knew that his son did not have the same mental abilities inherent within him. By the time Morgan was 5, he had created a habit of visiting the small ley line two miles North of the cabin, and combined his father's habit of meditation with his own of visiting ley lines.
He found the blue energy to be not only calming to his mind and body, he also discovered a sort of bond with the energy. He soon found that the ley lines enhanced his energy, but also his curiosity.
His mother also had some influence on his upbringing. Never wanting to hinder his inquisitive nature, she taught him the most important skill she could; how to read. He would read anything he could get his hands on (which was not much, admittedly.) His favorite book to read is a salvaged copy of "The Way of the Peaceful Warrior" by pre-Rifts author Dan Millman. He quickly incorporated this habit with his ley line visits as well. Soon, if he was not meditating at the ley line, he was reading at it.
Born with brown eyes, his parents were mildly surprised to discover that the longer Morgan was around the ley lines, the lighter the coloration of his eyes became. When he was 9, his eyes had turned to the same startling blue of the ley lines.
In his early teens, his family was visited by a TW wizard who turned out to be an uncle on his father's side. Having heard of his nephew's obsession with meditation, he had created something he thought would be helpful. He gifted Morgan with a TW powered harp. This quickly was incorporated into Morgan's meditations.
When he was 14, he came home from his latest visit to the ley line (he had been gone for 3 days), and found the cabin was almost completely destroyed. At first his eyes turned to a shade of yellow with fear, and as he searched through the rubble of the once peaceful cabin, they turned a red reminiscent of the pre-Rifts traffic lights from his anger.
He found no remaining evidence of his mother or father, and was barely able to salvage any items of value. Unsure of what had caused the damage or where his family was, he retreated to the only place he felt safe in the world. After two days of meditation using his TW harp, he found that he had the ability to become like a ball of energy and phase along the ley line to anywhere along that line.
Without the love and support of his family, his eyes have changed to a sparkling silver. When within 3 feet of a ley line, his eyes regain that brilliant blue color, reflective of that inherent energy. During his travels, he has learned methods of self-defense, including magical spells which will help him to protect himself and others.
To this day he still seeks an answer to what happened to his mother and father. He hopes to still find them alive some day.
He has traveled thousands of miles across the Americas, learning techniques, skills, and spells to help him. He now wanders into the city of WyNekota and stops in the bar for a refreshing beverage, and overhears an ongoing conversation between a Dog Boy and a Cyborg Minotaur.

Well the game hasn't started yet really, so maybe.
More players will end up dragging the game speed down though so I'll put it to a vote of the players.
Hey everyone, do we have room for another player or is 7 enough?
Note:
When we do finally get going I'll be pretty lax about character posting until combat, but if I feel we need to move things along I'm not shy about controlling your character until you start posting again.
