Mine is a driver/infiltrator with some close combat skills.

Some of the qualities I wanted to take are in the run faster book, too. If I write them up in detail on my character page, can you review and let me know if they are okay? For example, one is Day Job, which is a negative quality of 5 for 10 hours of work a week. My idea was that my character works in an automotive shop part-time.

I'm still working on my character. It will probably be a couple of days before I'm finished, sorry this is my first shadowrun character so I've had to check out stuff online to make sure I'm doing everything correctly. Just so you guys know the gist of what I'm going for, he's a human street samurai type with a focus on unarmed combat and athletics.

We have a melee street sam, shaman/face, infiltrator/driver, and a decker, as far as I'm aware. :)

Cerris, what are your two ideas? We have a pretty stealthy team so far. I'm happy to re-config my character to be more weapon-based if either you or PsionicHamster (hilarious name, awesome!) want to be a rigger/driver.

And I'm willing to rework my character if either of you want to be a Decker. :)

I can use my rigger character. That seems to be a gap that we have.

Still have to add gear. But this is the basic rundown with skills and cyber.

Cerris, are you able to do the driving, then?
Jan 12, 2017 11:19 am
Yea I can. Will need room for the drones as well. I have a couple of them.

Spending my last 16k nuyen now, then transferring it all from my spreadsheet onto GP and then I'll be done!

Mari, I kind of assumed you'd have things like a lockpicker and sequencer, so I didn't invest in those. I can, though, if you don't have the funds for it or some such.

Sure do. I have all the B&E stuff covered

How close are we to starting? I'm anxious to play a spellslinger for the first time

I have 2 Karma left, and might grab another negative quality and pick up more skills.. gotta write a backstory. Should be really quick though.

What do you want us to do as far as backstories go?
Jan 12, 2017 11:27 pm
We also need to flesh out that extra contact we were given. I believe it was one fact about him/her from each of us.
Jan 12, 2017 11:31 pm
ok, I'll put forward my first fact

--our fixer is surprisingly young in reality but disguises their true age through edited AR and audio.

Ok, I had to switch vehicles to accommodate the drones. No more stealthiness...assuming we still want a group vehicle for transport?

Like MoMo, I'm just finishing up the last few calculations and transferring to the GP sheet.

My fixer fact:
She really hates Horizon, but we have no idea why.
Jan 13, 2017 12:41 am
I'm also almost finished with my character. Just need to transfer it to GP and then hopefully someone can look over it to make sure that it is playable haha.

My fixer fact: She operates out of an old arcade.
Jan 13, 2017 2:22 am
My fixer fact: She's a Trideo addict: Binge-watching shows, playing games like Run, Run Runner, attending all manner of music concerts both in person and through simsense; you name it, she does it.

Great, we're getting close to starting hopefully.

As for backgrounds, at least a paragraph. But I'm a proponent of fleshing out during play when you've gotten a feel for the character.

Mika Iron Cloud started life in The Sioux Nation as a Lakota native. she grew up in Cheyenne and heard the voice of Raven as a young girl shortly before her awakening as a shaman when she was 14. Life as an awakened woman in Cheyenne was nice: she had power and respect. Unfortunately that is not what Raven wants for his children. At Raven's insistence Mika started running small cons and pranks at both the local university and the tribal halls. At first it was just annoying, then Raven pushed her into higher levels of thrilling pranks and she eventually was caught grifting important research from a university official and selling it to a corporation in the UCAS, the mortal enemy of the Sioux. Mika barely escaped to Chicago using her wits and the gifts of Raven and now lives in a cramped RV in a shitty trailer park, slowly finding jobs and cons to get back on her feet, but this time more carefully. She took the name Puck in honor of one of her favorite literary characters from a Midsummer Night's Dream.
