I'd hate to do something stupid like load up on guns without ammo... First time playing on a board, so please bear with me and be patient. Haven't played Srun in ages (1st edition) but picked up the 20th edition book and a couple of other resources, and really like it. Thanks Grinder. 'preciate the help.

It lets both of us be candid, and lets us talk in detail about things that you (or I) may not want to discuss where anybody wandering by can see. That being said: I encourage everybody else to go over his sheet and bio closely. Cuz you can.(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I believe that that is precisely the point of muscle augmentation as opposed to something like an obvious cyberarm. Sure, bioware may be better at evading scans but those ware should not make him stand out to normal metahuman senses.

That's not conspicuous, but it's also not "bland".

Unless Penta limits the idea of Blandness to only those people who are really inconspicuous, he is bland compared to someone with the same set of stats.

Moving Target Group: Members Posts: 368 Joined: 18-April 10 From: Boulder, PCC Sector, Denver Member No.: 18,468	QUOTE This character blends into any crowd. He is average in height, weight, and appearance, and has a distinct lack of distinguishing physical characteristics or mannerisms. Anyone attempting to describe the character cannot come up with anything more precise than “he was kinda average.” I think that the current augmentations lead to "Oh wait, officer, actually, I remember that the dude was super ripped! Plus, he moved in kinda this weird jerky way." Now, I have nothing against being heavily cybered, and nothing against Blandness, I feel that someone heavily cybered isn't going to be particularly Bland, unless you're in certain parts of certain cities.

It would be more along the lines of, "Oh officer, I don't know, he might have some cyber but this guy was kinda average." It is up to Penta how he wants to implement or allow Blandness for Splash.

It is, of course, always up to the GM to give final verdict; I just think that letting Blandness work that way makes it awfully powerful. Incidentally, I invite any and all critiques of Cherry.

He'd been walking the docks of Kingston one day when he heard gunfire coming from a pier nearby. Not being right in the head at the time he ventured onto the pier to investigate. What he found there was the local police engaged in a firefight with some simple gentlemen who just looked like they wanted to load some cargo on their boat. Through his very arrival he was able to distract the police and the gentlemen were able to finish packing their boat and quickly leave. Later he was met up with by one of these gentlemen, who he became shocked to learn were actually smugglers. But that was ok, they were fighting the man. They were pushing back at Babylon and passing the word of Jah. Because he helped them out Brother Samson invited him to join his crew. Having literally nothing better to do, Malachi accepted. 20 Q's [ Spoiler ] --What is the character's name? Malachi Garvey (not his real last name but the only one he'll ever give) --What is the characters race, nationality, age, sex, height, weight, hair color, eye color, and skin color/tone, and build? Ork, Jamaican, Male, 6'2" 230lbs, thick black dreadlocks, brown eyes (cyber replacements), black skinned, well muscled/toned. --Where did your character learn his/her skills? Malachi's weapon skills came mostly from his older 'brother' Samson who was with the Jamaican Defense Force, though with the JDF Samson was more open to making a quick buck and found an easy way in smuggling drugs and people around the caribbean. Malachi had become Samson's tutor, so to speak, as he grew up. --What did your character do before becoming a runner? Before joining the smuggling trade Malachi was studying to become a high priest of Rasta. (In other words he spent his days post school smoking and trying to get closer to Jah) --Does your character have any family? Though Malachi does not have any surviving blood relatives. he believes that everyone's family. All mankind is of one. --What are your characters dreams/goals/aspirations? Mal's main goal is to live life to it's fullest. Live fully everyday, and experience all that is to be had. --What is the characters general appearance? Malachi is typically seen as laid back and lazy by most others, his long thick dreads, and dirt/oil encrusted coveralls which he always seems to wear doesn't help change people's minds. --Why did they choose to be a shadow-runner? Brother Samson made the decision for him. He showed him that to experience life he had to be out in it. He took him under his wing and taught him all he knew. --What is the characters personality? Laid back and accepting. The world comes as it does. Those of Babylon get what they deserve though. --What skills does your character bring to this group? What makes them special? Malachi likes his weapons big and loud. He takes pride in how much destruction he can cause with them. He knows the caribbean waters like the back of his hand. --What are some things your character cannot do? He doesn't do magic or matrix. He's not really a talker(face-wise that is), and when if does have to talk, he's not too likely to be understood. --What does your character hate and why? Those who represent Babylon. They are haters who tried to destroy Zion and take away it's babe's to a foreign land to work for the white man. --What does your character love? One love. Sharing prayer with his brothers. Music of all kinds, though he does have his major interest in Raggae. --What does your character respect? Malachi respects those who try to make the world a better place. Those who are willing to experience life itself. --How was your character educated? Public school, then Brother Samson. --What is your characters moral code? See lyrics of Bob Marley's One Love http://www.loglar.com/song.php?id=7079 --Does your character have any political beliefs? Religious? Heh, been answered I'm sure. --What item(s) does your character treasure? Life, love, ganja, music. --Tell me at least one thing I (as the GM) should know about your character.

I like Cherry, overall, but I think the Encephalon II is a waste of your money and essence. Level I is worth it, so if you kept that, you'd have 45k and .75 essence to play with. Plenty of money to get better attack and defense programs, assuming you want to be a heavy hitter in the matrix. Even buying several level 6 programs would leave you with enough left for a trauma damper (for better damage soak in matrix battle) and reception enhancers (for a bonus on perception tests, matrix included). You could also use the Perception active skill (a skill people commonly don't pick up), especially considering your background.

Target Group: Members Posts: 14 Joined: 27-April 10 Member No.: 18,511	All, In the background, you'll notice that Splash has the blandness trait, but it worked against him. If you've ever read Steven Brust's Jhereg series, there is a character that people just tend to forget about. He had been an army officer, but was discharged when his men didn't notice he was there giving orders. I was thinking of it more as he doesn't have much of a personal presence about him - tends to fade in people's memory. Sort of the guy who sits in the room and you forget about. Hadn't thought much about how the extra 'ware would change his appearance. Good point, and thanks. My thought was that he is about average height, average build, just more muscular than average, but nothing that stands out. The sort of guy who when down at the docks, wears jeans and a long sleeved white shirt. When going to a formal, he's wearing a tux. Not the powder blue tux, and not the latest fashion, and not a cheap rental. Just a normal tux. Nothing special. I used to live next to a guy who was a Special Forces Engineer. Great with Explosives and building bridges. Spent 18 months in Iraq during the 1st Gulf war and some time in Columbia just after. He was 5'3", weight around 150, had a baby face, and was the last person you'd think of as a SF sort. He could bench 300 lbs (Although I think his short arms gave him a huge advantage) and walk for miles carrying 75lbs on his back. If you saw him in civilian clothes, he looked a little like a geek. Not noticable. That was sort of what I was going for with the blandness. No worries though. I'll take a look and either drop the blandness or the muscle aug. What about muscle toner? Would that fit?

Especially in light of that, and the fact that I guess someone super ripped can hide it if they dress right, I'm not saying that you have to drop the muscle aug or the Blandness, though you might want to consider Wired Reflexes (which is supposed to be incredibly distinctive, though IIRC you can turn it off). Anyway, it's all up to Penta. I guess it's possible that Blandness here is acting like the anti-CHA. Just as an attractive person can have low CHA due to sheer personality, so can a physically remarkable person have low distinctiveness due to sheer lack of the same. P.S. for those looking at my recent timestamps and scratching their heads, tonight was an all nighter! Whoo!

Agreed. Also, Wired Reflexes don't have really any "notability" to them, from what I've read and CAN be turned off. Or, at least, being able to activate them kind of suggests being able to do the opposite.

Unfortunately, I need that damn Encephalon II for fluff reasons: it boosts EW, and Cherry is all about being an EW girl who happens to hack. Also note that I could optimize by gear a little (for example, saving 2.5k by getting the stock 4/4 commlink before upgrading it to 6/6, or not tricking out the rifle I'm never going to use, or not spending 6k on a piece of overpriced formalwear), but I wanted Cherry to have notable flaws as a hacker. Also, where's the trauma damper? That's sounds handy. Also also, I have 330 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) kicking around. I was thinking of using it to engrave Cherry's datajack, but I can't think of anything good. Maybe the Coding Theorem?

Shooting Target Group: Members Posts: 1,978 Joined: 26-February 02 From: New Jersey, USA Member No.: 500	Since I've been asked for a ruling, I'll speak up. My gut instinct, upon review, is precisely what's been mentioned. Blandness and muscle aug don't seem to mix. This, however, is not because of any quality with regard to blandness. It's because of the description of muscle aug, which SR4A states adds to the muscle mass. Leads me to think a person with muscle aug looks more ripped. Now, admittedly, your GM is a fat geek. It's been a long time since I was around football players. That leads to something else I was thinking about. Splash, your character is a graduate of Annapolis. Even today, that's not an easy institution to get into - in part because those applying for a nomination are screened for leadership ability. After all, if they just need officers, they'd expand ROTC. If your character is that bland, how did he get accepted to Annapolis? Finally, this is minor in comparison, in fact possibly sort of nitpicky, but going to go with it. In the US Navy, and likely its UCAS successor (as well as CAS), officers are sorted into four communities. The Unresitricted Line, the Restricted Line, the Staff Corps, and Limited Duty Officers. Wikipedia gives a good description of it in their articles. Key thing here: Engineering officers and Gunnery types are two different categories. (Engineering is Restricted Line and not eligible for Command at Sea - Gunnery officers most frequently have their Surface Warfare Qualification, making them unrestricted line officers, and are eligible for Command at Sea.) Small Craft Warfare is another community altogether (Special Warfare, not Surface Warfare), though they are of the Unrestricted Line. So in short, your character could not do all of what he is said to have done. You gotta focus.

Well, you could just spend the 300 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) to get you 1500 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) at the beginning of the game. Seeing as she has a high life style, I believe that's 3x 500 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) . The max you would be able to spend in that regard is 1200 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) I believe, which would net you 6000 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) , if you so choose.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) As for the trauma damper and reception enhancers, both are cultured bioware in Augmentation and they have less than 12 availability. Yeah, the trauma damper is basically a poor-man's pain editor. Subtract 1 box from any stun damage you take (this can reduce to 0) and if you take physical, you push 1 box of it to your stun track. As a side benefit, you also get to resist torture more effectively.

That quality that is never going to be an issue is giving me second thoughts about getting the Attention Coprocessor implant, the betel addiction fits the character's asian background, and I am not going to apologise for the Str and Bod nor am I going to change it unless the GM takes issue with it, I simply changed my character's race from elf to orc. If you guys didn't lobby the GM for that 2BP race cost, it would have been an elf* with that strength and body.
