fyretooth Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 I'll say it straight. I'm definitely not an Average Joe, no matter how much I think myself to be.I started Tae Kwon Do when I was four, and continued on with energy. Then I got my black belt at fifteen (woot). At this point, I was probably a Superior Joe, if not an Excellent Joe.Then, due to a busy schedule, I stopped at 16. And I didn't resume. I just sat on my ass and kept on thinking I was awesomely in shape. I kept dropping things, and ended up with an empty schedule, that I filled with empty activities. (Mind you, I have nothing against gaming, being a gamer myself. It's just not particularly productive, if you know what I mean.) Enter Empty Joe.Then, half way through junior year, it struck me that I was being particularly useless. So I intentionally added things to my schedule, for example, acting in Pirates of Penzance, and went from there.Now, having graduated, and done lots of activities, I feel more like a Average Joe. But I'm not. I'm a Fallen Joe, a Joe that was once athletically admirable. I'm not fat, but I'm not particularly in shape. I'm only like 5'9", but I'm packing 185 lbs mostly in muscle. (I do admit, there's a layer of fat on my gut. Ick.) I don't have excellent musculature, but my friends consistently remind me that I'm way stronger than I think. I sit around on the computer all day, but I can still outrun most of my friends.So where does that leave me? Now. In the present.This Fallen Joe is tired of being Fallen.I come to you with as few prejudices as possible. I'm definitely no beginner, but I'm too out of shape to call myself fit.Please welcome a new Assassin into the ranks of the NF rebellion.

fyretooth Posted June 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Thanks for the welcomes!Speaking of levels, is there a rule of thumb for assigning character stats to start out with?

Red1263 Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Thanks for the welcomes!Speaking of levels, is there a rule of thumb for assigning character stats to start out with?the only thing I know is that it all has to add up to 15 in total. But I'm not sure if this will be the standard for the next challenge. So I wouldn't worry about it too much right now.

Josh Cross Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Welcome man! As far as the stats go I'm not too sure either, the next 6-week challenge starts in like a week so I'm sure there will be a thread explaining it for the noobs like us between now and then.
