@JohnnyWeird - could you update your character sheet when you have the chance?

Chapter 1: Friendship is Magic - EXP Rewards

Quoting from my first post in this thread: "So everybody likes the sweet, sweet rewards of well-earned EXP. I am no exception. However I've found that, in general, PbP characters advance a heck of a lot slower than Tabletop Games. Now part of that is simply the format. The Boss Battle in the Prologue took us weeks to get through, while it would have only taken an hour or two if it had been done with everyone Live, and in person. So Scenes & Adventures simply take more time. But unfortunately that means you can play a character for a year or more, and they barely improve at all."

So again rather than giving a set amount of EXP that you'll get minimal improvement from, I'm giving big rewards to spread around different aspects of your character.

Chapter 1:
+1 Attribute Dots (Strength/Charisma/Intelligence/etc.)
+3 Ability Dots (Awareness/Drive/Medicine/etc.)
+2 Background or Willpower Dots (can be a combination)
- For anyone with the Mentor or Library Backgrounds, PM me and we can figure out a Benefit you have from those since they tend not to come up much in the RP itself
+1 Sphere Dot (you can't go above 3 in a Sphere yet)


Please post your choices here. It is unlikely that I'll veto anything as long as it makes sense for your character and their resources. But for example putting all 3 Ability Dots in the same thing and going from Medicine 1 (I took first aid classes and got my CPR certification!) to Medicine 4 (I can make a living as a heart surgeon!) would not make sense.

Geyser takes Matter 2.

EDIT (I may have misread the first time, I apologize)
Attribute: Manipulation +1
Abilities: Law +1, Emapathy +2
Backgrounds: Avatar +1, Ally +1
Sphere: aforementioned Matter +1

BYOB and being able to heal my Ally may come in handy. And if components becomes an issue, I can just go to the beach and get some pocket sand! (jk)
