I was actually thinking more like 160 pt characters with NO MORE than 50 pts of disads, and NO MORE than 5 quirks, but less disads and/or quirks is certainly ok. And let's see if we can't go light on the pacifism, ok? I feel the need to present you with some villains that have a desperate need to be killled.

Agreed. You've been working together aboard the Hero Class Hiawatha for almost 3 months. (for those non-Americans who don't know, Hiawatha ("Hye-a-wath-a) is a legendary hero of several American Indian tribes [Horrors! the pc term is now Native American], and although I was just reading something this morning that claimed that there might have been an actual person by that name, he certainly would not have been capable of the heroic feats attributed to him in legend.)

In fact, you'll be marking your 90th day together aboard the Hiawatha next week. That's 90 days with no incidents, no injuries, and all pick-ups and deliveries made on time. It seems almost too good to last.... Some of you may have a nagging feeling that the universe has something up its sleeve waiting for you, while others among you may dismiss such notions as ludicrous superstition.

[The paragraph above will be re-posted when the IC thread opens, the preview is given to give you a little more of a taste of things to come to help with character creation.]
