Team Building

As long as BedzoneII is ok with it, I just made a forum where we can discuss how to balance the team and/or develop your connections and/or backgrounds with the other players...

Great while I can play anything I would initially lean towards a Shaman Information Gatherer kind of like a Covert Ops Specialist but with a slightly different twist that allows him to also be Team Support -- but again that kind of depends and what else might be needed and how the 6e rules might affect the character concept.

I'll leanning towards sniper/weapon specialist. Still don't know if I do it with adept powers or as a street sam.

I'm thinking of a mystic adebt who have left a maga corp in Europe?
Disillusioned: part of a dragon cult, but the dragon sacrificed it in a political power play

Those are my thoughts so faew

Okay I am checking into see if the Street Shaman (Information Broker / Scout / Team Sneak Buffer) idea will work in 6e

I am heading toward a rich rigger that was ripped out of his easy life and thrusted for the first time into the hardship of more ordinary people. He will have lost most of his toys and will be in debt for being settled in the new city so he will need to quickly find a way to use his talents for money. He is specialized in aircraft piloting (vehicules or drones) and love the feeling of flying at incredible speed with nothing between him and the wind.

Teamwise, depending on future investment, he could excel at team transportation, scouting, spying, air support or combat through drones.

Team Tech! My gal is gonna be a not as rich more traditional hacker

Okay just keep in mind the Street Shaman I am thinking about playing is not a blaster type -- thinking stealth oriented information gatherer so more passive magic than active magic

Before I read this, I was thinking mystic adept myself, but stealth-focused. If that's too close to rune's I'll come up with something else.

Falcon, stick with your idear. Two Mystic adepts can work. Don't let my idear block yours

Mine can't work the astral space and is basically a jack-of-all-trades. She is a bit too broad

Further @Falconloft we might work very well in tandem as I augment active stealthers as well as non-stealthers just when I augment a stealther (if I can get it working as before) means you are like super-stealthy thus an awesome combo

@Dejoker Check if you can stealth vehicles, that could open even more option :P

Sounds good. I just didn't want to step all over someone else's idea since I was late in, but I'll post what I've got. Should be everything, but I'm not 100% sure since I'm using a thing I found online to build characters.

Can someone with a book tell me if this is valid and complete?

max 20 points of negative qualities

I'm thinking about going full mage instead. Spellcasting, spirt summoning and some social skills

I thought those did add up to 20. I guess I'm gonna need to find the book.

So the creator I found has some typos, and after reading the book, it looks like some things work differently than I thought, so I might just swing full adept. Same concept though.

No, you are right, I read it wrong. Sorry

So does anyone speak Japanese or Sperethiel (Elven)?

My rigger speak English, French and Japanese

Awesome so would you like a friend someone you know something about someone you helped out because all he speaks is Japanese ;)

Although I think I could help the sniper more but I kind of need someone that spoke either Japanese or Sperethiel since those would the only two languages he would have had as a Native Tongue and it does not appear anyone speaks Sperethiel -- still you never know how things can play out.

@dejoker mmm, i'm ok with it if we find a good intersect point between your street shaman and a rigger.

As of now, here is the backstory : Hotaru aka Firefly aka Jacques Etienne aka Jack Edwards formerly Jack Evans, bastard son of a rich corporate CEO from England.

A sickly boy as a child, Hotaru as lived a sheltered life with all the comfort riches and VR tech can offer. He found himself a talent for rigging and a passion for flying jumped in the machines. Equipped with some of the best control rig in the market at the time and the fastest vehicles and drones money can buy, he recorded the experience of flying at the greatest speed on Simrig and was starting to make a name for himself selling them.

This blissful life was, however, fated to end. As political tension rose inside the company, his father faked his death and sent him to New Tokyo where an old business partner would install him into a new life.

The trip was long and hard. He had to leave in a hurry, carrying only a credstick, his RCC and his dog drone Max. For the first time, Hotaru was confronted with the hardships of the less fortunate. He met many people and listened to their problems and he is still figuring was he feels about this new "common" world he is discovering. Definitely, something feels deeply tragic and unfair in the way the common people are treated and he secretly worries he may end up with the same powerlessness. Time will tell, for the moment, among the dirt of traveling refugees and the withdrawal of psyche, he only wished to arrive as soon as possible the the city where his new identity and life was waiting. A fake SIN, a few drones, an apartment and a car was nothing compared to what he left behind, but it was a start.

He was also investing in the scene of drone racing.

Quick question, does anyone have some biotech in the group?

I have the heal spell

I'll probably take 1 rank with first aid specialisation...

I have rank 2 with first aid specialisation

Oh, I also get a bonus edge on any biotech test

Thanks Vagrant but I am not seeing a match -- Helios is an Elf originally from Japan who had to leave -- found himself (originally in the States but anywhere not in Japan area would work) as such the only 2 Native languages I can see him speaking is either Sperethiel (Elven)[preferred] or Japanese. However he would not been in your circle (most likely) while you were in England and I am not seeing him accidentally bumping into your character ;) maybe into one of his devices but not him directly

I have a question out to BedZone that might alleviate the language issue but its a questionable question ;)

So does anyone speak Sperethiel -- or would not mind taking it and fits there character that I can hook up with in backstory?

Missy could be a elf fan and have learned Sperethiel. She is a ex-corp mage from europa

Oh sweet do you want to talk about about a collaboration on back stories?

Jericho is an elf also, so even if I don't choose Sperethiel as my native language, I'll learn it at least at speciality rank

Would love to

@deadpool_qc and @DeJoker, I'm rewriting my back story and need to redefine 2 contacts. Do you have any idears?

@runekyndig

@runekyndig

Note to Storyteller -- runekyndig (Missy) and I (Helios Zen) -- are collaborating on a shared background of sorts -- we are both currently operating out of Hong Kong and have worked together on a few runs

I am currently working on finalizing my back story that takes my character from Korea to Southern Japan to Hong Kong where he is currently working as a part time Animal Handler and clandestine Shadowrunner

Introducing, nerdy hacker and sister extraordinaire: Sarah '1ns0mn1a' Jones

'Missy' acknowledge your presence, as long as you are quiet in the reading room

I took to the life of a cowboy like a horse takes to oats.
