Ebin & May on Temp Hiatus (only a week)

Sorry there has been no new updates on Ebin & May this week. Recently, one of our house servers went down for the count, and guess which machine housed all my working files for E&M... yeah...

Good news- all the files are safe and sound, due to good hard-drive practices. The machine was older than dirt so it dieing was no big surprise. All we have to do is pull the drive it was on and plug it into one of the other house machines and BOOM! back in business.

Bad news, we won't be able to do anything about it until this weekend. Feh.

So, hopefully, Ebin & May will be back next week. Sorry for all this.

Project Garefowl sneak peek – Shiroc Torsha

Here's a sneak peek in to the work being done for our new title, Project Garefowl! Each Friday we'll try to post new work or info about the book as we get closer to its release. Today is a nice look at one of the main characters, Shiroc Torsha, via his character sheet. Enjoy!

 

Shiroc Torsha, Civilian Contractor

Age: Unkown
Height: 6' 2"

Job: Project Garefowl, Civilian Contractor; Linguistics

Shiroc came to work for Project Garefowl five years ago as a civilian contractor, due to his talent for picking up conversational languages with frightening speed. While a legal alien working within the US, he spends nights studying for his citizenship. When not working or studying, he's picked up prestidigitation as a hobby. His penchant for performing on the drop of a hat has made him well known, and well liked around the base.

Shiroc tends to be a quiet person in new situations and around new people, yet he has a flamboyant side that allows him to warm up quickly. He is quick to smile but slow to anger. He is very fond of swimming, and goes to the beach as often as he can. When asked about his past, he will politely state that "it was a long time ago", and that he "wishes to move on", but nothing more.

Tiger Team Three Outage

Ah, crudazola… Sometime while all of Radio was at A-kon, the site for tiger Team Three freaked. Not sure why folks. I’ve got it all back up and running, now.

But this tragedy comes with a silver lining – we have more pages from Mark for TT3! Starting on Friday, Tiger Team three will start updating again. Whoohoo!

Again, I’m sorry for the interruption.

Your intrepid Radio Comix Web-monkey,
Smudge

Project Garefowl sneak peek – LCDR Robert Byron

Here’s a sneak peek in to the work being done for our new title, Project Garefowl! Each Friday we’ll try to post new work or info about the book as we get closer to it’s release. Today is a nice look at one of the main characters, LCDR Robert Byron, via his character sheet. Enjoy!

 

LCDR Robert Byron, US Navy

Age: 39
Height: 5' 6"

Job: Project Garefowl Lead, WestPac

A career military man, originally a Tomcat pilot, Byron served during Desert Storm. Unfortunately, while in the Middle East, he pissed off a senior officer above him and ended up getting assigned to "guard the purple water fountain"—i.e., Project Garefowl. But thanks to other officers, who felt he did the right thing, he still retains his flight rating on the Hornet.

Robert is "King of the Rolodex", knowing a lot of people in a lot of places. He has a big sweet tooth and can often be found at his desk sucking on a See's Candy Pop. In fact, a fair part of his diet is made up of sugar. While being a straight-faced, honest person, he's got the gift of the gab, and can easily socialize while probing people for info. He can think very quickly on his feet. While being something of a skeptic, he tries to see the good in people and acts accordingly.

He still misses flying his Tomcat though.
