So I had this fun little idea for a post now inbetween lurking and never actually posting. A game, with perhaps a bit of a morbid twist.
Take any character you previously played but, for whatever reason, shelved the concept entirely at some point. This character has to be one that initially survived the campaign they were in, or one you played for an extended period of time. Briefly describe the character, the campaign, give us an idea of how they were. Then tell us how you imagined they eventually died after the campaign was over. Did they continue running for years and bite a bullet? Did their ware malfunction, or a spirit went wild on them? Maybe they were too cocky due to a successful career and told that asshole troll bouncer how they really felt about his shitty tattoo. The world is yours, a creative endeavor! A dead endeavor. A cadaver? Make it as long or short as you want, just have fun with it. I had originally intended to offer an incentive, like a piece of morbid art for the most interesting, but I don't have the cash to commission an artist right now. So, the reward is fanfare and everyone knowing how cool/dumb your character died. I'll even start: Kyle West; Street Name Ikasu A young combat decker who got entrenched in the "E-jin Incident" in 2060. The successful campaign left him with an interesting opportunity though, a chance to work for Lowfyr. A chance that he foolishly took. Getting to live in the lap of luxury in exchange for what he was, essentially, already doing as a runner just with a corp tag. Unfortunately Ikasu's success in the shadows came largely in part due to his extensive use of Nano Machines; a technology Saeder Kruppt was more than happy to further indulge him in. Some years later closer to 2072, as AIs became more prominent, he suffered from CFD. His extensive modifications making it incredibly easy to overwrite his personality with that of an AI. Ikasu never realized he was infected, chalking the lapses in memory up to his matrix addictions. His team however caught on rather quickly, having gotten to see the AI personality taking over first hand. After a successful job, a pat on the back was all it took to inject him with a nanite killing "toxin" (An internally designed "Smart Corrosive") that was just as lethal to the host as the nanites. He died alone at home sitting straight up and admiring the view from his ill-gotten home. Killed by his own nanites, poisoned by his own team. Age at death: 30 - Legal Cause of Death: Complications from CFD - Legal Job Position at Death: "Internal Audits" at Saeder Krupp |
