I just heard mention of Parkour, possibly the coolest
sport/hobby/dangerous stunt ever invented.
A good website to check (I think mentioned before) is
http://www.urbanfreeflow.com/
The little stick animation of Parkour shows what it is, but almost looks
absurd-- who could DO that? Well, then you see actual videos. It's
great.
Looking at it, I think that it goes perfectly, no more than perfectly,
with the new Gambler Avatar. Here you have people taking huge risks of
injury, but training and preparing for them-- they think they have the
edge.
Plus, the hunch rolls really help when you're deciding whether to do a
basic move or an advanced dangerous one.
So, if I ever get to play UA (instead of just GMing), I think I have my
character. :-) The two essentials: Speed skill Parkour, and Soul skill
The Gambler.
*knaws on knucles* Mayhaps I can convince one of my players to do a
one-shot.
