Hi folks! Short-term lurker, first time Runner. The GM is starting up a game in Seattle soon, and as I was the last to know we have: A Troll heavy arms guy, elven mage, human hacker(on the run from his ex-wife and the man she left him for, who he also did a few...things to unspecified). So, since we'd need a face, I went with it. An Ork PI who worked for Lone Star before the whole Knight Errant thing occured, very little cybermods, far better at close-quarters combat and more importantly talking his way out of it in the first place. What Ive put together is as follows:
Attributes Body: 4 Agility: 5 Reaction: 5 Strength: 3 Charisma: 4 Intuition: 4 Logic: 4 Willpower: 4 Edge: 2 Initiative: 9 Essence: 4.072 Positive Qualities: Guts, Analytical Mind, High Pain Tol 1 Neg. Qualities: SINner, mild addiction, nano-intolerance, spirit bane. Cyberwares(All alpha-grade) Flare Compensation Protective Covers Thermographic Vision Smartlink Damper Spatial Recognizer Select Sound Filter (Rating 3) Commlink (4/5) Cybereyes Basic System (Rating 4) Vision Enhancement (Rating 3) Cyberears (Rating 4) Bone Lacing : Plastic Active Skills Con : 4 Etiquette : 4 Leadership : 4 Negotiation : 4 Dodge (Melee Combat) : 2 Tracking (Urban) : 2 Locksmith : 3 Pilot Ground Craft : 2 Shadowing : 3 Intimidation (Interrogation) : 3 Inflitration (Urban) : 3 Perception (Visual) : 3 Blades (Knives) : 4 Unarmed Combat : 4 Knowledge Skills Security Companies (Lone Star) : 2 Security Procedures (Security company) : 2 Security Design (Corporate) : 2 Security Procedures (Public place) : 1 Security Design (Private home) : 1 Lone Star Procedures : 3 Combat Bike Schedule : 1 Lone Star (Procedures) : 2 Lone Star (Tactics) : 1 Current Events : 2 Crook Hangouts : 1 Architecture : 2 Liqour (Whisky) : 3 And 7 BP worth of gear(armor, all sorts of blades and such, alot of breaking-and-entering gear and assorted other nifty detective items). Also have Empathy Sensor Software (Rating 3) Facial Recognition Sensor Software (Rating 3), Lie Detection Sensor Software (Rating 3). Im unfortunately 25 BP over the max. Im not even sure the GM will allow spirit bane, which could put me back another 10. Have I built this wrong? Gone overboard? Missed something obvious? Ive stayed away from the really obvious cyberenhancements due to social stigma(bad enough being an ork after all, the GM runs very RP heavy games as well as combat). Im trying to build a PI who can do\knows how to do the legwork, is skilled with blades and unarmed combat, and handles people. Almost like Grifter\hitter in some ways. I come to you fine gentlebeings seeking your advice and wisdom. And from what Ive read on the forum, jokes too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |
