Well remember me asking a few days ago about the estimated prices on Metahumans? Well just now over the week I found out the real reasons why my group of runners has been all gungho about it. They kept it a secret from me until last moment. (rather smart of them to do to keep me from killing off the plan in the begining)
Well anyways here goes. They combined cash and purchased about 14 male orks for the reasonable price of 14,000 yen each, and 6 female elves at 25,000 yen each. All had randomly rolled stats. Then purchased for each one of them a deticated chipjack and each one some cyberware. Spurs, smartlinks. Guns ammo and armor. The main purchase and most troublesome one was that they purchased rating 10 persona fix chips. Basically total loyalty and a relatively docile personality . Slotted them into thier new pets and now have a relatively cheep and fairly effective gang. (Orks with smartlinks and spurs and fed steroids daily also then given virtual instructors to learn some weapons. The elves were given instructions on stealth and assassin's weapon training.) Technically none of this is out of the rules or against the Canon. The face made the proper rolls and aquired everything. The team's medic did all the surgury himself in his shop. The Weapon Specialist instructs them in combat. The stealth adept teaches the art of being a supafly ninja boy. Now the problem is. They have an army. I'm not the type of GM to just slap it out of thier hands after they put that much work and yen into it, but I do need some advice on how to cope with it. Plus I thought the overall idea was totally brilliant and would like to go with it a bit. |
