Talk:Germain

• • • DING +1 LEVEL -- XP : 36075***

Did I miss a game. I wouldn't be surprised given how out of touch I've made myself. I don't even think I've checked my personal email in weeks :( --Msallen

Have we reached an acceptable level of fluff yet? --Msallen

You're a natural fluffer. -gm

This is my favorite part: He wears his wavy, light-brown hair cropped to his ears and slicked back with copious amounts of oil, and he sports a thin, well-groomed moustache. It doesn't quite stand up to my comment about Sayid's testimonial, but I like it for the creep factor. --Msallen

Your use of TOME profession rules--does that mean they're approved and I can make the skills on Kib's sheet official? -Slitherrr

He did? I'll just ignore those skills next time he tries to use one. -gm

From an in-game note:

Germain is physically average, but carries himself with a presence more impressive than his physique might indicate. 
His clothes are not fancy, but are well tailored and attractive, and suitable for a traveler or soldier. 
He carries himself comfortable and confidently.

re: canon. LOL! Weak ;) --Msallen 16:33, 14 December 2009 (EST)

Ha, you just rolled over. No wonder Germain is such a pussy. Like player, like character. -gm

Coughs nervously. -Slitherrr

That's a nice bow, I still say the free shot as a free action for ranger might not be terrible. they get decent skill points >:)

So, you've spent hours flushing out people the party might never actually meet. Does Germain *himself* get details to his background, or do I get to assign them? (ohpleaseohpleaseohpleaseohplease!)

Haven't I spent 10x as many hours obsessing over how, precisely, to allocate my skill points and attributes? --Msallen

You are mistaking crunch for fluff. Fluff *will* be produced.... one way or the other. -gm

Fluff? What's that? ::whistles nonchalantly:: -Slitherrr

Oh, fear not. I've more than adequate fluff to run with in the Kib department.

Although, mixing fluff and crunch does lead uncomfortable places in regards to that 8 wisdom. -gm

I have a lot of trouble figuring out what 8 Wisdom means, honestly. Kib doesn't look compulsive because he's right next to Gil all the time--the idea is that he's really pretty impatient, but when you've got a guy throwing an axe every time anything happens, it doesn't really come out. Maybe it just means he sucks at Nature things. -Slitherrr

Well, feel free to add whatever you like, although I'd prefer you spend your time at Steros Merroand and the First Stand. Just please please please don't give me a distant and abrasive father and a psycho brother *again*! I always imagined that Germ got along with his family, and all of them had the good sense to know that leaving was in everyone's best interests. --146.127.253.45

Germain's backstory is about 1000x more in-game relevant than Steros'.

Ah well, guess my whole family is going to die again :( --Msallen

Not necessarily. It might not even come up ever, but it might.

BUT, if you think people aren't looking at the party with a much more focused lens these days, you're significantly less cagey than the G-man.

I would feel better about him being a coaster if he didn't also "excel." I'd think a 14 INT is good enough to get by, or buckle down and excel, but I think you'd need at least a 16 to achieve accolades on cruise control. -gm

Meng, "excel" isn't even in the writeup. "Perform his studies passably" is equivalent to "skate by". I can make it more clear if you like --Msallen

Ah, nah, that's good. I wasn't reading it in Letter of Recomendation-Speak. It's all good. -gm

Physical appearance

How does Germain look physically? I didn't see that in his description or character sheet. Also Germain now has the hat of disguise now, so I'd be curious how he chooses to present himself (and the hat).

Note: I'm currently commissioning some art of Mose to test artists for an eventual party drawing, so this description will be helpful down the road. :)
