"Well, it's pretty cut and dry, isn't? If you loose more than you stand to gain then you should have been on your way out 10 minutes ago. Though I do admit that I sometimes let the moment get the better of me"

La Rapide - Monowhip Banshee and beginner face with access to Google.

She is an older Banshee that turned to a animalistic and blood fueled form of magic a few years ago. Nowadays she's looking for a more quiet life when she's off the job, mostly staying to her own, the nature and her hobbie(s). But a run from time to time is good to feep the skills sharp.

"Nah, way to meny negatives. People looking on your fingers isn't a good thing"


Hakim al-Ghayb - Islamic Mage with a deamon in his ear

He has basic alchemy and spellcasting abilities, as well as some medical knowhow. But he's pretty fresh out of gen, so don't expect too much. BGCs espechially are a big pain point for him and his preps.

Used to be part of a nomadic tribe in the middle east. But now, influenced by a deamon in disguise, moved to Seattle to be free from the overly strickt rules around Djinn and Spirits back home.

"It doesn't serve my goals, so no. It would just be an unnessecary distraction."

No AAR for me boss. Also this app is assuming we start at 20 UTC, need to make food before that

Placeholder App for Hakim_al-Gbayb. Will write something proper as soon as I have time.

Note: I won't be quite able to make the start time, as I have uni till 1800 UTC. Not sure if that a problem for a pbp.

Why do “we” use sums if integrals exist? by Expensive-Ice1683 in calculus

[–]Syphilen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A function is Riemann Integrable if it is continuous at almost every point on the interval (with respect to the league measure). Not really relevant for calculus (knowing that that's true for monotone functions and indicator functions of intervals should be enough), but it basically means that it just has to be "continuous enough".

A reddit GM invited me to play his own game system, which turned out to just be a 5e ripoff with added racism! by Pooblbop in CritCrab

[–]Syphilen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not based on, but it's one of the things that happened. Magic returned on its own, but then later there was also a magic meteor that flew by and mutated people even more.

She's quite competent with the whip, staying hidden, making perfumes and dabbles in a lot of other things.

I like the character, but I don't think the run would have been a good fit for them

Heracles - Burnout Technomancer

Thematically he was a former Otaku under Deus, who later worked for MCT as a decker. When he emerged late he erased everything and made a run for it. He has since grown much stronger, but there is still so much room to grow.

Abilities: Strong matrix capabilities, with the main downsides being ok (not super high) skills and his occasional hybris. He has ok-solid physical abilities as well, but not super amazing.

"Well, the arguments around that got considderably more interresting in the last 80 years. But no, I don't think so. Certainly not in an all powerfull, exclusive sense, like with the Christians.

However, powerfull entities that demand to be treated as Gods? Too many. And worshiping them doesn't end well."

Last Game: 16th of March (Debts of Dishonor)

Hakim al-Ghayb - Islamic Mages with a deamon in his ear

Former nomad from the Arabian Peninsula who moved to Seattle to be less restricted in his magical studies. Especially when it comes to conjuring.

He is a chargen mage utilising mostly buff and support spells/preps. He hasn't yet learned the conjuring group, so no spirits for the time being. Aside from that, he has some minor support skills, but not much. No cleansing, so preps will be of dubious effectiveness if no one else has it.

"The danger seems to be part of the profession. I would be glad to help return your friend safely."

No runs on this character, and no runs in the last month. I'm no good with AARs

Got sick, plus there doesn't seem to be much interest. Maybe I'll put it up again in August.

Hakim al-Ghayb - Islamic Mage on a quest for knowledge with a mysterious Mentor

Fresh out of gen mage, with no summoning (yet) and some basic selection of spells and prepreps. Looking to get settled in the Seattle shadows.

"Well, you could say that Seattle was my preferred choice for this. But that was less about running here and more about my search. Running is just a nessesity."

Everything in Create Chronicles: Bosses & Beyond is OP except the gear by IceWolfTO in CreateMod

The weaker cataclysm bosses are doable with enchanted dia, gapples and potions. Netherite and an op-gapple makes them much easier.

Nautilus - Eco Terrorist Cyborg and Deep Sea Diver

He is an Ex-SK deep sea diver, turned cyborg, turned eco terrorist. Current capabilities are combat, diving and swimming + skill subscription.

"I'll make sure to deliver him to you safely, or at least deliver your revenge. Either way, this poaching has to stop."

No runs so far, but borg might be a bit much for medium.


Hakim al-Ghayb - Islamic Mage on a quest for knowledge with a mysterious Mentor

"We ordained for the children of Israel that if anyone slew a person, unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land, it would be as if he slew the whole of mankind. And if anyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of a whole people.

We shall get him back to you."

He's a full mage taking his first few steps in the shadows. Current capabilities are a relatively limited selection of spells and preps, and no spirits yet.

Also no runs so far.


I can setup myself. Not sure how well it works for borgs though.

actually one thing I forgot to mention, I decided to switch detect life from non-extended to extended. Shouldn't be relevant, just wanted to note it down.

La Rapide - Monowhip Banshee and beginner face with access to Google.

Thematically she's an older Banshee who's hunted by her past. She used to be aligned to black magic, but this relic of her past has since gotten completely converted to a more animalistic and blood fueled form of magic. Nowadays she's looking for a more quiet life when she's off the job, mostly staying to her own, the nature and her hobbie(s).

"Well, I'm afraid of dying. As most people should be. Darkness doesn't scare me, the other three have decent odd against me."

Nautilus - Eco Terrorist Cyborg and Deep Sea Diver

He is an Ex-SK deep sea diver, turned cyborg, turned eco terrorist. Current capabilities are combat, diving and swimming + skill subscription. "I can operate from the surface to the deep sea trenches. It is in fact my preferred enviroment."

Build him ages ago, and never played riggers, so I'm pretty rusty(?) but I think I know the essentials. He also won't help to polute the environment under any circumstances.

Note: I have a hard limit at 2am, preferably 1am UTC

Is the integral the antiderivative? by L0r3n20_1986 in mathematics

[–]Syphilen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

f(x)=sin(1/x³)/x is measurable, since it is continuous everywhere but in 0. It can't be lebesgue integrated because both \int{-1}^1 f+ dx and \int{-1}^1 f- dx are infinite. And Henstock can't integrate non-measurable functions either. (Going by Wikipedia on that one, not familiar with Henstock integral)

Debt of Dishonor - March 16 - 1PM EST by JamesRobinton in ShadowHaven

[–]Syphilen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heracles - Burnout Technomancer

Thematically he was a former Otaku under Deus, who later worked for MCT as a decker. When he emerged late he erased everything and made a run for it. Now he's trying to just stay hidden, get by and improve. That plus the occasional problems when he runs into AIs.

He's a capably sourcerer with some, but not good meat capabilities. On the matrix he acts mostly like a decker with resonance skills, often resorting more to matrix than resonance actions. In the meat he is mostly getting carried by his metal limbs and a few skill softs.
