[Vegas]

Tossing my hat into the ring on this one with a combat-leaning shaman in the form of a street urchin...

Tweaking my final sheet but will post it up as soon as I'm happy with it. Wednesday at the latest.

[Tyro]

Since it seems there's at least one person handling the magic end of things, I'm going to turn Manthanein into a semi-NPC talismonger and bring Monkey in. (I prefer to avoid subsystems like magic and decking when learning a new edition)

Will edit with Monkey's sheet later.

[Edit:]

Manthanein's revised sheet hosted here.

Monkey is an urban parkour courier, something like a cross between Johnny Mnemonic and Leïto from District B13. Street rat, in and out of prison for minor crimes and thus has a Criminal SIN; doesn't bother with a fake SIN for that reason. Looks something like this. (The "cyberarms" are actually cosmetic implants so people will be less likely to peg him as an adept.)

Background & appearance (picture here):

[ Spoiler ]

Thomas "Monkey" Rubel
Human male, age 19. Caucasian, 168 cm (~5'6"), 72 kg (~159#). "Cyberarms" are tattoos & Essence-free cosmetic implants meant to make people think he's a sammy, not an adept.

Street courier by night, partier by day.

Contacts: Callen (Fixer, L1/C3) & Dr. Oversturn (L1/C2)

Qualities:
Acrobatic Defender (Gymnastics instead of Willpower for full defense)
Double Jointed (+2 escape artist dice, can squeeze through tight spaces)
Mentor Spirit: Rat (+2 Sneak dice, 2 free levels of Natural Immunity)

Moderate Addiction: Stimulants (mostly Cram, occasional Novacoke)
Incompetent: Acting (He is who he is, and has never been any good at lying)
SINner, Criminal (Fairly minor offenses, but enough to get him an adult record)

Squatter lifestyle (paid for 1 month) w/ Cramped & Dangerous Area modifiers. He doesn't really mind - Monkey spends most of his time working, sleeping, or getting high with friends.

[Umidori]

Nice art, even if it isn't yours (and props if it is!)

Reminds me I still need to scrounge around for a few reference points for Boone and link to 'em - I can't draw worth beans myself, so the best I can do is visually suggest, typically via bits and pieces repurposed from other places.

The tattoos idea is kind of brilliant, to be honest. Although I admit, with a name like Monkey and being an "urban parkour courier" I was immediately hoping for a Haruman. Of course, I'm weirdly attached to exotic character types, so whatever. As an aside, makes me realize that Boone's probably the most "normal" character I've ever built for Shadowrun in any edition.

[ Spoiler ]

To Be Fleshed Out More:
Orphaned at age 6, taken under the wing of her mentor (Ryu) after surviving on her own with injuries for 3 days after the “car accident” that killed her parents.

Appearance/Personality

[ Spoiler ]

She is tiny, with long hair that was once a vibrant blonde but now was dull and stringy, blue eyes that once sparkled when she laughed and a cherubic face that was now oft streaked with dirt. They call her Maus because she is small and quiet, but she is anything but meek.

Maus doesn’t trust easily but is tremendously loyal to those who have earned her trust. She can come off a little arrogant at times and she comes off much older than her 15 years.

[adamu]

@Vegas - Cityspeak is a specialization of English, not a separate language. So for one of your knowledge skill points you can tack that onto your native language, and have three points left to spend.

[Vegas]

@adamu I swear.. some days my brain just doesn't work right (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Thanks for the catch.
Edited my sheet above to reflect the change.

[adamu]

Sheet hosted here.

Yikes!

That's a heck of a chargen tool!

I will just hope and assume a more condensed version is forthcoming, but I made it out okay, so no worries.

Welcome, Monkey.

I will just hope and assume a more condensed version is forthcoming, but I made it out okay, so no worries.

Welcome, Monkey.

Sorry about that - after all that chargenning I wasn't feeling up to writing a summary. I should have a condensed version up later today.

[Edit:] Rough night. Maybe tomorrow :-/

[justkelly]

Edit: Was twins, now a triplet set. I'm a bit ambitious, but I've just got a story brewing, so we'll see how it works...Will post details here soon.

Okay - I wan't sure if I wanted another game, but I think I have a character story I want to play. The backstory is still WIP, but I've got a set of triplets, 2 boys & girl to introduce.

Tina, Tommy and Travis Andrews, 19 year old triplets born in Chicago, UCAS. For reasons to be developed, parents are not in the picture and the twins were in orphanages/foster homes until they escaped together about age 15.

All three are aspected magicians: Tina Conjures, Tommy is a Sorcerer, and Travis Enchants. They have recently left Chicago as Tina has had too many bad experiences with the resident spirits. They arrived in Seattle with basically the clothes on their backs, so have sought any and all work to survive using their combined magic skills.

I'll post character specific very soon. Not sure where they should go, but they'll have a local diner owner (or other relevant) contact who may be able to introduce them into one of the tribes as a new safe haven for them that is "off the streets".

Feedback is welcome now, as well as when the character details are listed. I'll update this post instead of taking up more space. I hope I can play all three characters, but if not, I'll figure something out.

Background:

[ Spoiler ]

Darbis Hummels was born in 2047 in Detroit, Michigan to blue collar, human parents (a UGE baby). His father died when he was very young to a para-VITAS outbreak in Detroit that was
swept under the rug by Ares Macrotechnology, the defacto ruling entity in what had once been one of the homes of the old Labor Movement. His mother was a nurse, and she inspired him
early on to one day become a healer. He had a rough childhood, facing constant fear and discrimination from his fellow students, and spent much of it finding good hiding spots
throughout the city. After Darbis had gone to college, he decided to attend Medical School, but despite great grades and a stubborn instinct to exceed expectations, he was denied
entry to over a dozen Medschools; the only ones that were teaching metahumans were small private, astronomically high-priced, Universities.

After trying for over 2 years, Darbis decided he couldnt wait any longer and applied for a job with Docwagon; he already met most of the educational environments, and would only need
to complete a short training course to receive his certification. Upon completing the course, he was immediately assigned HTR team on Detroits south side, one of the worst
neighborhoods left in the recently revitalized city. He wasn't the lead Doc on his team, just an assistant Medic/Gunner who manned the aft gunports. He spent nearly as much time
shooting as he did actually helping them medically. He longed to take the Lead Doc post, and was strongly endorsed by his coworkers. He left Docwagon suddenly in late 2074, eventually
making his way to Seattle, hoping to find work as a street doc/ cyberware specialist.

Character Description and Personality:

[ Spoiler ]

Somewhat reserved personality, can seem skiddish and antisocial to strangers.
Dresses very plainly; workboots, jeans, and a flannel shirt, often with a grey lab coat if he is "practicing." His cybergoggles are usually on his forehead.
Has a kind face, he keeps his charcoal grey hair and beard neatly trimmed.
Rare for him to be seen without his sidearm
Carries a Docwagon Backpack with his medical supplies

See post 1069, main OOC thread.

Is there an easy way to find it or do I have to go page by page checking post numbers?

[adamu]

I hope I can play all three characters, but if not, I'll figure something out.

Total fun concept.
Me, I don't think I could manage it, but then I'm sort of lazy.

I don't want to speak out of turn, but this campaign seems to have a very open door policy (thank goodness for annoying troublemakers like me!).

Heck, you wouldn't be the only person with three PCs in the Tribes thread.

That said, would you be planning to play all three at once in the same "adventure"? With Always O most welcomishly coming on board, I think that makes seven players joining in (in theory - never know with PbP!).

I am happy to keep juicing up the opposition commensurately, but do let me know your plan for organizing the three within the thread...

Taking a page from another GM lurking around here, I am not going to pore through this and add up every number.
But it looks fine (and fun) to me.

I do care a lot more about background personality, though.
And a detailed physical appearance description is a MUST. Please.

Provided those items are in the pipeline, then as far as I'm concerned, post away.

[adamu]

It's only like a page back.

If you are joining this game, that is the OOC thread, so best to keep a close eye on it anyway.
Aside from new character additions, all the ongoing info for the Tribes game is on the Stormy Waters OOC thread.

In a normal game I might say no but as this is pbp and in particular Tribes then I'd be more than happy for you to play multiple characters...of course Adamu is the Tribes current GM so swing it past him too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

@Everyone else, I think I've linked all your sheets in the main OoC thread post 3 but yell if I've missed someone!

I'm guessing "typical runner sidearm" is an Ares Predator?

Sounds about right! Add in some mods, a holster and some ammo and you have the start of a PACK (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

[Always Overkill]

Thinking on a second character for Tribes once Patch gets in a rhythm, and was curious, do the Mechanicals actually have a Rigger of any kind on board?

Toying with the concept of a tribe born Drone Rigger, a tinkerer of sorts. For down the Road a bit.

[Tyro]

I want to roleplay Monkey's integration into the Tribes fully, with no assumed background. Would it be acceptable for me to create mutual contacts, people who have had dealings with the Tribes and are known to Monkey?

Given three characters, decided a new post would be cleaner for adding their data.

Backstory-Family was never rich, but they were happy. Lived in a low-rent area of Chicago outside the CZ, but had to deal with gang activity in their neighborhood. Mother was a waitress at a local diner, walking distance from home; Dad was a former runner (Magician) turned businessman-talismonger from Boston. He has no lingering ties from Boston, and started fresh in Chicago where he met the mother. Triplets are unusual, and of course hard to take care of relative to the one child at a time program. Life was happy. When kids were about 10, Dad's store was robbed, while Mom was visiting of course, and both were killed. Kids were moved into a local orphanage. Placing three kids together is extremely difficult, so they occasionally were separated into different foster homes. While they were good kids, they would escape to be together again. At 15, they decided to stay together no matter what and left the home. They've been living on the streets or cheap apartments when they could afford to, by working odd jobs and using their talents. While Dad was a full mage, each child received only part of his heritage. So they worked together to be a "whole" magician. Tina has an affinity with spirits, particularly with Air spirits. She treats them like "birds in the park" and feeds them whenever possible. Travis is the extra calm one, having to spend lots of time with his craft. Tommy is the hothead, wanting to always protect those he thinks need protection. With Chicago's bug spirits aplenty, Tina had to guard herself to avoid them. After one last encounter with a nasty free spirit, she begged her brothers to leave Chicago. Having no ties, they do so, hitching rides to Seattle. Why Seattle, well why not.

They've been in Seattle an short period of time, getting work at a local diner and meeting people who worked or ate there. They each have different contacts which I need to detail a bit more. They have taken other jobs, and while creating foci and alchemy preps could be a good money maker for Travis, he hasn't really found a good place to sell consistently yet so has a hard time buying the materials. Tina has the most consistent of income generation right now by working in the diner. Tommy occasionally will work at the diner too, but sometimes gets into more accidental trouble than anything else. The siblings are very close and won't allow themselves to be separated again.

Insertion into the game---While at any one time, all three could be available, once they find a home, they may only show up as their skills need them. So Travis may sit back a bit to work his alchemy for the tribe behind scenes more often than not - he could become a money maker when the Tribe wants another cash flow source. Tina's resources with spirits would be useful in some scenarios, not all. Tommy being the hothead he's tagged with would jump into whatever frek he could find that his siblings will let him. Given their relatively young age, finding mentors to guide them in their learning of magic, or other mundane skills, would be useful.

Again, feedback is welcome on the three characters, their story, as well as how they can fit into the game. I don't really have a preference on which Tribe they join. While the Mechanicals seem an obvious fit due to the magic, Freedom may actually be better to balance the active players. I'll let the GM and current cast of players provide input on this one please.
