Character Discussion / Creation

If we're going with the idea of you all being individual professionals brought together for one job, it wouldn't make sense that some of you would cover one area while others would cover another. Grab the contacts your character would find most useful and leave it at that. If there's overlap, well, that's just the way it goes.

I'll wait another day or so before starting.

Great Shark! I have just put in two hours of working on my character and he is very closed to being finished. He will definitely be finished tomorrow. Sorry for the holdup!

I also added a new player after you all had already started chargen.

Are we gonna have a Hacker? Doesn't seem like we've heard from carlosg since his original post...

Mine is a combat specialist / driver / pilot / mechanic.

I have submitted Goldie for your approval! I might have made some errors as it is the first time I try to make a Shadowrun character and it was a complicated process. I don't have a full of understanding of everything yet either. I am quite satisfied with the way he's turned out though. Let me know what you think and if I need to fix anything...

I looked it over. I don't see any obvious errors. I'm not familiar enough with the system to be able to pick out minor mistakes with a glance and I'm not interested in going over each character with a fine toothed comb. :) Approved!

Have the other two players checked in? Does four characters mean we're ready to roll, or are we just going to get Swiss cheesed without a computers guy?

Nah, if there's a need for computer something, you can hire someone or figure another way around.

I talked to Wakiza tonight. He's another player I added, a local friend. He'll get his character added in the next day or two and then we'll be ready to rock!

I'm excited to finally kick this game into gear.

Before spending any build points, here's my general character concept for a face.

Still want to go for "unlucky and out of place," but he's no longer a desk jockey.

Backstory/origin is that he was one of those charismatic, but overpriced tour guides that drives or carries around a shitty vehicle of some sort. Plus a smalltime dealer of recreational drugs on the side. Maybe a smuggler of relatively minor contraband? Not the sort that stands out too much, you've got at least one in every crowded town with some sight to see. One time he's carrying around some rich old dude when things start getting really, really out of hand. Turns out this guy was big underground and, long story short, my PC is now a runner because he could be implicated in some pretty nasty stuff due to being at the wrong place and time. I haven't yet determined how long ago this happened compared to the current storyline, but that's the character concept.

Sound good, Shark_Bone? Also, do you think he'd be someone from the city they're currently in or maybe has come to town for some reason?

That's a fun concept! As far as being from Lagos or not, that's up to you. Lagos is a good city to get mixed up in some shit and it's also a good city to run to when you're fleeing problems that might follow you if you were to go elsewhere.

Hello,
Sorry for the delay, it has been busy and it is taking a bit re-antiquating with 4e, I am looking at making an Orc Decker with some reaction mods to keep him out of danger, EW specialist, but able to do anything that needs doing.

Cool beans.
