Recruitment: Down in the Barrens, Seeking one runner. Long term game. Low Power. Options

[Redjack]

I run several game threads with an average post of once per week, but run for years. This rate is too slow for many players to keep involved, but for those of us who usually post on a scheduled day this works well. Please be sure that this rate appeals to you before asking to be considered. Players who disappear during the *probationary period* find their characters meet with unfortunate accidents or simply get shot in the face, whisked away by elemental or whatever threat happens to be handy. Conversely, players who remain steady are rewarded with a rich, long-term game. Vacations, accidents, Internet connectivity issues occur. If you show us the common courtesy of letting us know when issues occur, we are very understanding. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Currently there is one opening. The game has one other player: A street sam with amnesia. The game started with this character and two other characters have come on gone in the 2+ years this game has been running. I prefer well rounded characters to one trick ponies. The game is mostly low power, down and out characters. People who are just broken, that's why they are in the Redmond Barrens. Characters who fit the environment will be given higher consideration. If you wish to be considered, please submit a concept first. This game runs on the story, more than anything.

As you think through a character, shoot towards 390bp. I will award 10 additional BP to round out the character. You will also have a hacker called Athena as a starting contact [ C3 / L3 ]. She will take care of the hacking needs of the team.

Feel free to use PMs as needed as well for clarifications or covert details.

NPC's
Do not assume the actions/reactions of anyone listed as contact. You can take reasonable artistic liberties with non-contact NPCs, but please PM me first if you engage in extended dialog. In the case of assumptions of time passed in travel, NPC reactions, etc I may ask for an edit. In the end, I will try not to impact your creativity where your post doesn't impact my world view.

Dice Rolling
Please use http://invisiblecastle.com/rolldice.py. For campaign name, please use: Puyallups
The only rolls I will reserve are perception and assensing rolls. By knowing if the character glitches or the degree of success, then strategic information may be given away. All others will be made by the players, though sometimes for expediency I will make a series of rolls so that 9 seconds of combat doesn't take 4 months to post through.

Time away from the board
I would like to set an expectation of 1-2 posts per week. Real Life happens though. If a player will be AFK for more than a few days, just post in the OOC and give us a heads up. PM me instructions and I can remote your character in order that the game can continue with your pre-submitted actions. (We all know that sometimes you can take a week or two of vacation and still make most of a combat scene)
