Okay, so I've been collecting character concepts from my group for the new SR3 game. One of my players is totally new to Shadowrun, and the sort who always plays the happy comic halfling in our D&D game. She asked, "Do we have to all play criminals?"
To which her boyfriend (experienced min/max player) responded, "Well, yeah, but not necessarily bad; think of it like Firefly..." "Ooh! Can I play River?" So, that's what she wants to do. The two of 'em came up with a pretty cool concept together: they're a brother and sister from Aztlan, taken to an Aztechnology 'special school' for the gifted. He trained as a mage. She didn't work out so well, and ended up in a lab getting unknown 'enhancements' until he found out and rescued her. And now they're in Seattle, hiding and looking for answers on what happened to her. Yes. You heard right. One of my players has asked to be an Aztechnology test subject. As a GM, of course, this has me cackling and rubbing my hands. My plan on this is going to be to create her character for her, give her all her stats and abilities, but don't tell her what 'ware was used to make those abilities. I already have a pretty good idea for the Dark Nasty Secret at the core of the matter (it's not going to make her explode, it's just going to make AZT very interested in getting her back). What I'm looking for here are ideas on the rest of it. I'd like to make her an all-bioware character, partly for plot reasons and partly because it's something different. Maybe some nanoware or genework too, if it fits. I have Shadowtech, so I've got a pretty firm handle on what's out there, and Man & Machine is on order. But a lot of you guys eat and drink this stuff, so I thought maybe you'd come up with some creative combos I didn't think of. So. You've got a Body 6 and the Priority A million nuyen. Character's an elf. (Hey, it's what she asked for.) How would you trick out a character like this with all bio? She doesn't necessarily need to be the most kickass character; she just needs to be scary kickass. I've got my own ideas, but I'm interested in yours. Thanks in advance for any input. And Have Fun. |
