The Mafia Affair, Keepin' it in the Family Options

[Dashifen]

I'll be starting a new game on the forum shortly and I'm looking for 4 characters for it. I'm looking for people who can handle a post a day or there abouts, since I frequently lurk the forums from work and can replay with some alacrity. The generation system is BeCKS v2.0 in the NSRCG. Be sure to download the most recent version of NSRCG since mcmackie (:notworthy: ) has fixed a few bugs in BeCKS (specifically shapeshifters and martial arts) recently. The starting karma is 425. Max availability/rating is 8/6 just like normal, although exceptions will be
made on a case-by-case basis.

No Riggers or Rigging. I just don't know the rules. Other than that, only other restriction is no ghouls, vampires, etc.

Here's a weird one: cultured bioware is available at chargen if and only if it is always cultured (i.e. cerebral booster). However, cultured versions of standard bioware are not allowed (so you pay the full bioindex cost, effectively).

The characters in the team will have worked together before, maybe once or twice, and have a moderate to good reputation for professionalism and success on the streets. Therefore, I'd like avoid any intra-character competition/violence because it sucks All skills are open and I love people who make their own skills as well.

Everyone gets one free L1 contact from me: Jimmy the Fish. He's a local fixer that you guys worked through in the past. He knows your rep and he knows you're style and he's been helpful to you in the past. He's a human male, about 35 and frequents a bar named the Rose.

The location for this run is not Seattle, just because I don't know the Seattle area. The location will be the Allentown-Easton-Bethlehem area of Pennsylvania, UCAS. I'm not sure of the actual Shadowrun timeline (from the meta-plot) but it's before YotC so no surge. The run might go as far south as Philly or north to New York City, and since I lack much of the canon material on this area (if there is any), I'll probably be contradicting things in it, but that's okay in my book.

The run might branch out to more if the characters playing want to continue. If a sub-set of the characters want to continue, then I'll open up applications for new group members if I think it's necessary.

If there are any other questions, just post them below. Character selection is subjective, so do your best work ;)

Edit: Clicked the add reply rather than preview button. Added the rest of the necessary info.
