I've discovered that my character concepts seem to run more with the mohawk crowd than the sunglasses, though I'm perfectly willing to play an odd character in a pro style.
What sort of odd? Other players and the GM have given me a rough time about the fact that my current char has raptor legs, scale styled dermal plating, and a balance tail. Other concepts I have been considering, stand out about as much. Any suggestions on how to better integrate a visually striking character such as obviously cybered, or a changeling, into a 'professional' looking group? |

I can see it now:
Orc with a glowing, fiber-optic mohawk, lots of tattoos, and leather with spikes in all the wrong paces runs into the lobby of the building, dances around and yells, "HEY LOOK, I'M A DISTRACTION! WOO-HOO!" And as the CorpSec stands there having their WTF moment and staring at the orc, the rest of the group hurriedly walks through... |

I really have to wonder... would claiming to be a distraction be a good way to create a distraction for yourself? They guards would instantly run off looking for who you are trying to cover for... and leave you all on your own (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) As for looking out of place... it really depends on where you are. If your trying to sneak into a business place you might really stand out, but most other places... mods are common enough that it'll just be "Some guy with some mods, I don't remember, I saw like a hundred of them on my way to work this morning." |
