Character Creation

Dec 22, 2019 3:15 pm
Go ahead and use the 6e rules for character generation. I will require some backstory, ie at least a hook or two, for me to bring different characters with different backgrounds together. It won't be as simple as a 'you all get a message from Mr Johnson' type of start.

Only one stipulation for background, none of your characters must be currently residing anywhere in the Far East (unless you have a compelling backstory for it). This is because Chapter 0 involves your actually getting to neo-Tokyo. You can have contacts in neo-Tokyo or in the east if you want, and I'll help flesh those out.

A mage or a mystic adebt. I have to read up on the 6e rules

Probably a sniper/weapon specialist. Don't know yet if I'll go for adept or street sam...

Are you going to enforce the rules (on Page 247) that you need the Electronics skill to figure out how to turn the Wireless effects of your gear on and off ?

Team suggestion...
I think everybody should at least put 1-2 pts in stealth with a sneaking specialization...
Same thing with biotech (first aid)...

Personally as a GM I would say no but then require you to have a stupid switch that allows you just to flick it on and off along with any issues as a GM I might want to incorporate for such rather low tech both positive and negative ;)

I like to fill in gaps if that is okay with you all so will be wanting a better idea of what everyone is definitely going to play before I decide --- that being said as far as connections go -- anyone want a friend whom they have been working with ??

Sure, I'll take a long time partner or a childhood friend !

Time for my first character creation

Another team suggestion,
Don't forget to keep enough for the essentials...
- a fake SIN ( and some fake licenses with it)
- a commlink
- a life-style (at least a low one, don't be a squatter)
- a form of image link, sound link and micro-transceiver (to keep in touch and exchange information with the team during the mission)
- One trauma patch

Awesome deadpool_qc do you want to do our character collaboration chatter here and possible encourage others to create hook ups and/or maybe join us as a group if they feel their character fits what we are forming or do you want not clutter up the game chat with our more specific character generation chatter?

Just made another Forum called Team Building to take care of that and keep this one maybe more focused on the mechanic side of the game.

I'm considering a Rigger. Will we be tied to the city? How useful would a building or team transportation vehicule would be? I like the idea of having a ROTORCRAFT or VTOL but its a mighty investment in character creation :P

@thevagrant If you own a vehicle, we'll find a plot or background reason for why it is in the city or somewhere you need to be.

I'm prepared to reconfigure the story around the kinds of characters all of you build.

Would you allow the equivalent of the cultured bioware Cerebral booster for the Intuition attribute?
Dec 26, 2019 7:27 am
@deadpool_qc It seems to me the reason why the skill check is there is for combat, ie. you're plugged in, someone tries to hack your gun, you roll a check to see if you can disconnect in the heat of battle. Outside of combat we can assume you can toggle on and off freely (so long as you have Electronics). I can consider not needing the check, but that changes gameplay if the team tries to hack the enemy's weaponry, and they can just toggle it off without needing checks; it renders that strategy useless.

@thevagrant Interestingly, there are hardly any Intuition bonuses / boosters anywhere. I suspect it's a redesign thing, to avoid the reaction / speed / initiative race builds. I'm going to ask that we leave it be for now.

If i am jumped in a drone and I want to stay unnoticed, do I roll with piloting or stealth skill?

I am working on Hedie, a personal assistant and bodyguard to a Saeder-Krupp Corporate Executive in Neu-Essen, Allied German States. She partook in some board-meetings and meet the scaly bastard Lofwyr the dragon CFO. In a powerplay of some sort, Lofwyr sacrificed Hedies boss and the entire department, and they stood with the blame for X.
Her boss was arrested, but Hedie got away. When she realized that she had evidence of Lofwyr's betrail she headed to Japan to report her findings at Mitsuhama Computer Technologies.

I think she got intercepted by shadowrunners, had to drop her SIN and get a new fake one.
[ +- ] Hedie
She is a pistol-wielding mystic adept

I have submitted a preliminary character sheet, but there is still some work to be done and some karma to be spent.
