Recruiting: The Next African Queen, The shadows of Cape Town Options

[Jeremiah Legacy]

Edit: As of now, recruiting is closed. But ... I do have a waiting list and if/when people drop, I will come to you before opening it up again.

Had an idea last night, decided to run with it. I need some volunteers. Want 3-5 people running in Cape Town. Business is booming as the corps have decided to get in on the action of Afrostyle. In fact, the race among the media corps to find a new star has been dubbed "The Next African Queen." This means plenty of shadow work as well. Indeed business provides opportunities for everyone.

Including one sinister force...

The city presented in Runner Havens. Ruled by The Rain Queen and her shamans. Shouldn't be too much interaction (if any) from Mujaji, but her shamans are the law. Think of them as Lone Star/Knight Errant ... but without the legal oversight.

Lots of megacorps coming in for R&D. DeBeers, owned by Universal Omnitech, owns the database for the SIN registrations of the Azanian Federation - which require a tissue sample. These will be important.

The events of Emergence haven't happened ... yet.

Allowing SR4, Street Magic, and Augmentation. Don't have Arsenal yet, so not allowing it.
No blood mages, toxic shamans, or insect shamans. No cyberzombies or cyborgs.
If you have delta grade ware, you better have a damn good reason.

400 BP. No free contacts, except as below. Fairly new shadowrunners. Technomancers OK, Magic OK - in fact, you will be better off with one than without.

Oh yes, one more thing. I need at least one of you to have an Azanian Federation SIN. Can be faked (probably better that way) Already taken care of.

Cast of players:
Aaron
Redjack
Crizh

Ophis

Any questions, feel free to ask.

I would Really, Really like to play a TM. But I must forwarn you that I will have to drop out in about month (end of apirl). I will start to pull a character together, please let me know asap if my short time line disqualifies me.

[Ophis]

I'm interested, but away for a week. I can work up an idea for a hacker/sam some gambling problems.

[JDragon]

I'm in. Gotta work on what I want to do.

Will have a basic idea up in the next few hours.

JD

[Fortune]

So many concepts ...

[crizh]

I've got a mild Street Sam Dwarf I've been working on. It's got some Arsenal gear but nothing that is vital. It's kind of a thought experiment about Street Sam character growth. I'm definitely interested if you'll have me.

[Divine Virus]

I don't know how to delete a post, so I just edited it out.

[Aaron]

I'm interested. Have you got a player cap?

I'd also be willing to be the guy with the SIN, if you still need one.

[Redjack]

Third time's the charm!!! How about a shaman from Hong Kong?

[Jeremiah Legacy]

Aaron: there is a cap, and you made it. Thanx for volunteering to have the Azanian SIN.

Redjack: Sure. A shaman from Hong Kong is fine with me. Maybe this time, he'll see the job through (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

[Aaron]

Awesome. Are there any roles not covered, or should I just make a character blind (not a blind character)?

[Jeremiah Legacy]

Oh, the possibilities of a blind character (IMG:style_emoticons/default/devil.gif)

Here's what we got so far: a technomancer, a street shaman, and a dwarf street sammy.

I prefer if this is a team that can work together. You have enough paranoia from Johnsons and fixers.

[JDragon]

Assuming I made it in, I'm working on an Adept of the Silent Way. (IE: Infiltrator)

Not 100% on race yet, but probably human or Elf.

JD

[Redjack]

Did you ever get to play that dwarf anywhere?

[Aaron]

I'll make a face, then, with a secondary specialty in logistics and technical stuff. Unless there are any objections?

[crizh]

No objections to a face. Please God, play a face...

[JDragon]

Did you ever get to play that dwarf anywhere?

Nope not yet, but I don't want to jinx this game by trying to play him. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grinbig.gif) So I'm going to try something different.

JD

[Aaron]

No objections to a face. Please God, play a face...

You don't have to call me that, but you've convinced me. A face it is.

JL - do you have a common Fixer you want us to use?

Thanks

JD

[Jeremiah Legacy]

I knew I forgot something. I'm bringing in Dr. Delicious. Freebie at 1/1. But if you want him to be more than that, you can spend the difference.

[crizh]

Who?

[Jeremiah Legacy]

Dr. Delicious. He's a fixer in Cape Town. Human, caucasian, North American accent. He also runs a medical clinic in one of the poorer areas of Cape Town, catering to the poor children, and runners. But priority to the children.

As far as fixers go, he's a straight shooter. Doesn't screw over his runners. Doesn't seem to have a tail behind him. But if you mess with children ... well, Africa has a lot of areas where an extra body wouldn't go noticed.

[Aaron]

Does Dr. Delicious have a Connection rating of 1, then?

[Jeremiah Legacy]

Does Dr. Delicious have a Connection rating of 1, then?

Yes.
