Hello Everyone,
So, given how few players we have right now, Fischer and I have been brainstorming a couple more characters to give us some more manpower. Before we made profiles and portfolios, we wanted to be certain everyone was okay with this. Neither of these characters would tie in significantly to our established players.
For Fischer, this new character would be a batarian bounty hunter type.
For me, it would be one of two. One idea I have is for a volus who wants to change his people's perception of his race as pushovers. While he would have up-close defenses, he would specialize in mid-to-long range combat. Another character I don't have as developed would be a salarian whose skills lean towards long range combat.
So, thoughts?
Sincerely, Co-GM Maelstrom

I definitely like the idea of the volus character. I don't think we've had one before.

No we haven't had a volus before. Although most Salarians already specialize in ranged combat as infiltrators. Even their ships are designed for long range everything.

Is there a limit to how many players can run?

Originally the limit was two but obviously exceptions have been made for me and Maelstrom. I think it is based on the individual making the request. If a player posts on a regular basis, communicate when they are going AFK for extended periods and work well within the group--something the two of us have done--then I think an exception would be made, but that's just me.
If you want to take on another character, then discuss it privately with the GM.

Fischer got it mostly right. Part of it is proving over a long stretch the ability to run multiple characters. We've both run with two for a fair bit.
Part of this thread, though, is to make sure people are okay with that concept.

I haven't had enough opportunity to do so but I'm hoping to prove it by running Rula'an and Izahm.

I honestly hope to have enough players again at some point to bring back a two character max, to keep our squad from having too many mercenaries for it to be a challenge.

More power to you if you can handle more than one character - if I was still at my last job I might have been frisky enough to try.
A volus on the team should be fun. Depending on his personality I can see Eric being a little relentless in teasing but then again the new character is trying to overcome stereotypes.

Back when we worked for Bridges I was mulling over adding a volus.

I think mine will be very different from what you'd expect.

Knowing you I wouldn't be surprised.
