I'm having a hard time finding a derogatory term to use for all the awakened folks that piss off my mundane character. Variety would be nice too, like a really mean one and one you could call your awakened friend or teammate.
Help! |

My big question is why the hell would you want to head derogatory insults upon individuals who can make your head explode just by looking at you. It seems to be about as wise as a white guy using the N-word at the Vibe Awards.

Matchstick or Burnie (fire elementalist/combat mage)
Squishie (i'm sure the stereotype of the mage as the weakling still exists in the 6th world) |

My personal prize goes to wandfondler. Classic AH.
Call a full magician a groggy will have the effect you desire. There is also xman from the SR4 slang for adepts. |

Thanks for the suggestions everyone.
And the reason I would want to use some of these words vary. Sometimes you may insult a friend to shit talk them, or insult someone you don't like behind their backs. Or say you insult an awakened weakling or burnout or someone who is powerful but when you are holding a gun to equal their spell. |

You also need things for NPCs to call the player mages to get them to blow things up.

See if you want to piss of an adept that is the point where the adept power throws a penny through your head. A mage will just use turn flesh to goo and walk away.
Why is any of this a good idea? |

don't forget that there is still the ini-roll . . and the samurai is most of the times faster than both adept and mage . . so if the samurai decides not to risk it the magical guy will most likely end up shot before he can do something himself . .

Who said the mage or adept won't just take the abuse, and then blast you when you turn you back.

Why would any adept throw a penny through someone's head when throwing a baby through someone's head is so much cooler? |

Riddick can kill someone with a tea cup, and he isn't even an Awakened or has cyber enhancements all over. Why not for an Adept or Street Sam? |
