I was thinking up names for a shadowrunner I'd like to play as, and for some reason I thought of the surname "Yoder." This immediately got me thinking of the Amish. I thought it would be a fun and unique endeavor to play an Amish girl who UGE'd into an elf during Rumspringa and decided not to return to the community for whatever reason.
Which got me to wondering; do the Amish exist anymore in 2070? I mean, they're barely hanging on now as it is, but when the different governments took their slices of the United States and chopped it up into the UCAS, with all the wild social revolution that took place during the Awakening, and a corporate agenda to spread out and conquer, could the Amish even exist anymore? Regardless of the merits of my idea, I'm simply curious as to the possibilities of this inquiry. Are the Amish extinct in Shadowrun? |
