    It's late

    But my brain isn't quiet. I'm stoned out of my goddamn gourd. Don't worry, it is just my usual regimen of drugs. That's how I spent a lot of my time now. Wasted. Doesn't really help with the pain much, but makes it a bit more tolerable. All of my drugs cost over 5 grand a month. That's what it takes to keep me going. I'm in somewhat better shape because of all of it, and there's a few bright

    Cyborgification is potentially a-go

    Finally found a doctor that didn't run screaming upon seeing my spine images and xrays. The team is coming together. Met with the neurosurgeon the other day, and he thinks I am an ideal candidate for augmentation. The transition is happening, I think. I still have to pass a psych evaluation and other steps, but I am closer now than ever. First I'll have the trial run; they'll sink electrodes into

    I suppose it is time for an update

    Been meaning to this, and I've become the King of Pro-Crasty Nation. I kept wanting to report, but there was nothing to report, no good news at all, so I just... didn't. Sorry. Went a bit silent on my end. It just sorta happened.

    I finally got a lawyer willing to take up my case. After that, things started happening.

Some background, to understand these numbers. The average is three with a maximum value of ten. Three is average, six is exceptional, and anything above is what separates heroes from the common folk. Intellect does not always indicate intelligence, but can also indicate your training and how well you know your chosen profession. You can have very capable soldiers who know their job and perform well that are not always the brightest bulbs in the lamp.

Keep an eye on this page, stats will change over time.

Wait, you're really making up an entire RPG system as you write this story? Wow. I didn't think you were going that far.

Also, I have to wonder what "Power" measures.

2626585

Just offering a bare bones set of values to compare to, observe growth, and see change as it happens.

2626585

Power measures several factors. Raw force, raw ability, how effective you are. Want to avoid an attack? Power and agility play a factor. Want to blow your enemies to smithereens with magic? Power and magic play a factor. Want to rip the gate open and force entry? Power and strength.

You're certainly getting your nerd on, aren't you? :pinkiehappy:

This is more amusement to go with the story. My inner closet nerd is happy. :twilightsheepish:

Sunrise Surprise is the perfect example of book learning. 10 intellect and 2 understanding. Lots of book smarts and facts, but no real clue on what's going on with the world around her.

She is also startlingly average in almost everything else.
