Recruitment: Fallen Angel, SR4 - Startup Game Options

[Vegas]

I figured it was finally time that I broke out of my Player-Only shell and take a stab at actually being a GM for once. :D So here it is, in all its sloppiness and hopefully it will be intrigue and suspense filled enough to keep you all wanting to post now and again. This is really for me to get my feet wet GM’ing as well as trying to nail down my grasp on SR4 rules from top to bottom. I won’t promise it’ll be a smooth ride, but I’ll do my best to make it worth your efforts. :D

I have a decent plan as to how this is going to play out run-wise, but I really don’t want to tip my hand too much with too many details. I can tell you it'll be a standard type run, full of double-crosses, danger, and intrigue. I’d like to think depending on how the submissions go and who puts up what type of characters I’ll skew the run in one direction or the other, but the general planned “job” will be the same.

The Basics:
* SR4
* 400 BP
* Seattle Setting
* Will be accepting 4-5 characters for the run

Character Generation “Rules”
* 400 BP’s, standard chargen rules apply (Max 200 BP in Attributes), standard gear rating/availibility caps stand.
* Please NO Technomancers. (I’m not gonna rule out hackers, and if you can convince me to change my mind about TM’s give it a go, I’ll just warn you ahead of time, my matrix skills are limited at best and I can’t guarantee there will be a lot of matrix “stuff” to do this run…)
* Need to know the other 3-4 characters in a professional way (I.E. you've worked together before) and you will get “free” contact points to spend with a 3/3 cap in connection and loyalty. (I.E. you get 18-24 points to put towards ONLY teammates, but you do not have to use ALL the points).
* Additional 2 x CHA in “free” points towards contacts, connection rating limited to 4, loyalty is open.
* Detailed background in the format of your choosing (20 questions, freestyle, etc. just impress me)
* Possible “bonus” BP for outstanding character development and background.
* I’d really love for each character to have some kind of “deep, dark secret” that if it’s exposed could level/ruin/cause massive misfortune to the character. I’ll leave it up to each of you as to just what it is, but keep in mind I could use it in the run… Heh. Obviously these would be kept between the player and myself.

I will really let you guys decide amongst yourselves how you all know one another. Once you start getting character concepts together, start posting little character intros in the thread and you all can start plotting how you’ll know one another that way. Obviously it will depend on who the final 4-5 chars are to finalize your choices, but since those points are freebies anyway, I don’t see it being a problem.

You can email character sheets and concepts to me at ajainshadow [at] gmail [dot] com.

Any other questions, fire away or toss me a PM or email. I'll be updating this post in this thread as we move along with any specific details, submitted characters, etc.

***I'll be taking submissions until August 15th at Midnight CST after that I'll announce the characters who will do the run and post up the OOC and IC threads. ***
