1: I don't have any major complaints, not anything that would spring to mind. (I have one MINOR one that has been bugging me... on a 3d6, a - 3 penalty is for a "very difficult" task, but the penalties are frequently highter than that. Mind you, if someone has 18 on a score I can see why, but most of us poor saps don't :P )
2: in responce to ironphenix and some of your coments... I'm feeling like I have very little free time these days. Rather, I have too many thing to do with said free times. I'm trying to maintain contact with about 4 groups of people, going to the gym, various research, reading I want to get done... If I was unemployed, you can bet I would take advantage of the ratcatcher comunity more. I might not be able to make rent though.
3: Not that I know of. My seniority is pretty good at work, and if I get that other job (a very big IF) well, it is a goverment job so I would still have a decent scedule.
4: If we have to, sure. We are a bit lacking, as a party, in certain skill sets (ironphoenix laid them out well). Sure, my character is a combat monster, but in a very archaic and short distance style... there is a good reason why most people use guns!
For the second part:
1: Yes, I am happy with Robert. He is a lot more well rounded than before and not the "one trick pony" so much anymore. He's still a bit of a stereotype, but oh well. No one is actualy like that, but there is a fun aspect to play someone completely fanatical in a very gray world.
2: Robert is so well suited to his curent situation that he has reached an almost-zen like level of focus, comitement and contentment. He is curently wondering on how to solve the current problem. If all the cult members must be taken out permanently... so be it.
3: Although Robert has no fear of death, he is starting to wonder about continuation. The traditions and philosophy of the samurai must be passed on, so that while the individual may perish, Honor and Duty will endure. Robert is not sure how to do this. Sure, he can and does influence those around him, but it is not enough... it requires either a truly dedicated pupil, or starting a family. All these present challenges and responsabilities, attachements to life that may interfeer in his Duty of service. Theses thoughts will probably insil a faint amount of very healthy self-preservation.
4: Robert believes that his current interpretation of past and current events to be essentialy correct. He just doesn't understand all the motives yet. He does want to know why the fay are geting involved however.... but he doesn't want to get distracted too much by too much speculation.
