No normally I can respond within 2 days but I was on vacation and I had
just gotten back.

Ok, that's ok.

Since about 16 and I am 26 now so 10 years :-)

> what styles, what systems,

I have played D&D, ADND, Marvel. and really that is it.  I have learn
the basics of Champions
but have yet to play it.  I can understand it because of it's slight
similarities to the Marvel
system (but to greater detail).

I like any kind of fantasy, super-hero, or futuristic genre.  I am not
much in the horror, or gothic systems.

Wow!  most GM's is like it or leave it.    Well, I would ask that you
avoid any religious (or as much as
possible) scenarios.  I am a christian and don't want to get into a
religious debate in a PBEM. :-)

I am 26 and work in high School as a Sign Language Interpreter for the
Deaf.

If they are sovable yes. :-)

I will probably keep it unknown to me except some generalities I will
look up.  Because this
would be a city my character fled to so it would be unfamiliar ground
(the human form may do
research but the other 2 forms would be unaware of some of the info.)

No,  Chetax may avoid some situations but will always join in a
situation where it seems a weaker
individual is being abused or taken advantage of (like she was).  And
any animal abuse will strick up
rage in her.

> Sensual, huh? How sensual? As I mentioned, I won't go much farther

the human form is a 20 in comeliness (beauty) so it is the top of human
maximum.  She also
has a skill in seduction so when she needs info she uses both to get it.
;-)
James Bond level is fine (maybe even less).  She's not easy or slutty

> What do you mean "stationed"? 

Oh, I just meant she staying in the city of your chosing and not really
moving around from city to city (unless she is found then things may be
different)


>Is she still working for someone?

No

> Does she have any memory of a human family or relatives?

dim memories.  most were erased.
the human was a prostitute so she doesn't have a life she wants to
remember and had no one who would
miss her
the cheetah would remember her life in Africa

I will give the PD and ED which is good.  But I am still unsure how to
generate the fighting
stats.  I will give you the full char sheet tommorow and then if you
could tell me what my stuff would
be.

I will in the next email with the char stats and history.

ok, will do.

100pts + 150 disads (250 total) is that ok?  


I should give you the response by tonight (Fri) or tommorow (sat)
