[OOC] Character Creation

Can I get clarification of what teams people are eyeing, and rough concept to avoid clashing. As trying to decide between a few. The current one is a mystic adept looking at Maya's ring, though have spied a few adepts/mystic adepts being mentioned.

Okay. I went back and worked the numbers.. So much fun. I know you enjoyed it. Gotta love fractions.

@Genecortess. Do you want me to plug stuff into herolab?

Also I think my char is mostly finished par contacts, but just need to move her across to here. And finsih spending money.. I have no idea what to spend money on, after being out of karma for focuses.

Going Street Samurai with the Church of Maximilian faction.

I'm good. Just spent a lot of time checking and double checking. I still have to spend down money really. Everything else is done. Could do some more back history and a bit more on contacts history. Nuts and Bolts wise I think the character is done. Obviously Carter is a touch rich (A option) in order to pay for that expensive bio/cyber ware.

I;m using magic so no expensive ware to spend money on.. I've even doubled up on things for reasons...

Okay having read the next tier of explanations of the groups -- my character would opt for Group 3 then it would be a really hard decision between Group 2 or 1 as he would not really care to work for either one of those for totally different reasons.

Okay moving forward then with the base concept should have it down soon

My character will be from Malapascua, a small island north of Cebu, and she came to Manila several years ago to make money. She hides her identity and sends money back to her family. She will work for any faction that can afford her guns - so she can be placed wherever it suits the GM.

I am considering a minor adept (priority D) in a street samurai pistoleer concept - maybe with better than average social skills (depends how character creation goes), or a technomancer character.

The key element for the character is that she comes from poverty and any abilities need to be inherent (adept/technomancer) as opposed to purchased or learned (cybernetics, decker), but I am flexible within that framework.

@kenesperanza - any preference for technomancer vs street samurai? would one concept round out the campaign more?

I see no conflict with my character except perhaps my group having potential conflict with your group ;)

The wild side of Jasper's Syndicate appeals the best to me for Carter. That and drugs.

Either choice are fine. I'm guessing this character will prefer to work with Maya so either choice is fine.

Smiles.. I guess I could use where my house is in Philippines. Yes. I do have one there. It is in Dipolog City. The port Dipitan is very close to Dipolog City. You can go from Dipitan to Cebu or Manila by airplane or boat. That is home territory that I know well. I also know some of Down Town Manila as well.

So I guess that is good place for a starting point for Carter. I did mention that I knew of Philippines.
