Keep posts over in the GI thread until everyone has had a chance to post their sheet so that it will be easy for me to reference once the game begins. Feel free to post near final copies of your character in this thread, simply edit the post when a change is to be made. Once I start actually running the game (hopefully Monday the 9th) no more edits and your characters are finalized. Good luck, chummers!

Runner Group: Members Posts: 2,666 Joined: 29-February 08 From: Scotland Member No.: 15,722	Draft. final Tiny Tina [ Spoiler ] Name: Tiny Tina Race: Human Ghoul Gender: Female Background [ Spoiler ] Most people would overlook the 3'6" girl child in the tatty pink Urban-Ex Jumpsuit rolling around a disused car-park in the CZ on a pair of 'heelies'. This would likely be a fatal mistake. Born in the mid 50's Tina was an ordinary little girl when the comet passed, the changes that it wrought in her tiny physique changed all that forever. The magic coursed through her body, awakening her potential as a magician and changing it physically. Strange slits opened in the sides of her abdomen leading to the massively re-plumbed lungs in her chest allowing her to breathe underwater. A second set of transparent eyelids helped her see in aquatic environments. Unfortunately the changes also arrested her physical development. She is now a 20 year old woman trapped in the body of an 11 year old child. This is the least of her problems however. Three years ago she was exposed to an experimental vaccine for HMHHV-III during a botched raid on a bio-lab. The vaccine was less than optimally effective, rapidly transforming Tina into a Ghoul. She is at least not infective herself but that is little consolation for what she has lost. Her magic was damaged first by the infection and then again by the implants necessary to restore her sight. With her power reduced and her condition's social stigma she decided to take the money she had put aside for a rainy day and go somewhere where she could be herself. Chicago. Having learned that Nanites would have saved her from the Infection that ended her career she opted to have part of one arm replaced with a cybernetic arm capable of containing a Nano-hive that would help her survive in the harsh environments she expected to find in the CZ. With the little cash she could borrow from her fixer she had her features cosmetically altered to appear like a normal human again to the untrained eye. She is still a deadly combat mage despite the reduction in her ability to handle raw Mana. Her Power Focus allows her to channel almost as much power as she did previously and she delights in splitting spells into fragments and slamming them into multiple targets.

Psionic Spiritualists focus on the communing with various Astral Xeno-forms. Similar in practice to Shamanism but very much a rational and empirical tradition despite its Intuitive expression. Combat: Guardian Detection: Guidance Health: Man Illusion: Air Manipulation: Task Note: Psionic Spiritualism is a materialization tradition. Tina contends that the Astral Plane is just the way the human mind interprets its interaction with the Zero Point Field. While not a popular opinion it is as good a model as any other. She is able to convincingly explain all known Astral phenomena and has won some extremely heated debates. In this tradition even Spellcasting is a form of summoning. She contends that the entire fabric of the Astral, Mana itself, is a sea of tiny lifeforms that she calls Manites that exist as 'lifelike' patterns of energy floating on the surface of the Zero Point Field. These Mana Nanites can be programmed by a mind attuned to them to perform a number of tasks. One group of such programs are Spells, another group imprints Sapient Metaplanar beings upon a collection of Manites, like an AI distributed across a number of nodes, to create a 'spirit'. Whether she has a point about any of this is a matter of much debate, regardless, Tina believes it and so it works for her. =Spells= [ Spoiler ] Powerbolt Stunbolt Stunball Slaughter - Insect Spirits Combat Sense Detect - Insect Spirits, Extended Alleviate Allergy Heal Increase - Intuition Increase - Willpower Increase - Reflexes Deflection =Foci= [ Spoiler ] Power Focus (4) - [Stealth Security RFID tag implanted beneath her sternum] =Gear= [ Spoiler ] Metatype Re-assignment Cybereyes - Rating 2 (Alpha) Lowlight Vision Thermographic Vision Flare Compensation Vision Magnification Protective Covers Obvious Lower Left Cyberarm (Second Hand) Nanohive II Nanohive II Datajack Sim Module Internal Air Tank Enhanced Capacity IV Armour II Anti-rad VI Oxyrush V Universal Nantidotes VI O-Cells VI FFBA Full Suit (Radiation Shielding VI) Urban Explorer Jumpsuit (Chemical Seal) Urban Explorer Helmet (Vision Enhancement III, Audio Enhancement III) Combat Fetishes x 2 Conjuring Materials, Force 6 x 2 Assaying Kit Magical Lodge, Force 6 Raw Crystals x 288 FAB nutrients 100 m^3 Micro-Transceiver VI Low-light Flashlight Thermographic Flashlight Radiation Film Badge x 2 Water Purification Tablets x 5 Inline Skates Medkit Supplies x 2 Evo Orderly Med Kit supplies x2 Fake SIN, Rating 2 ( Fake Licence x2, Rating 2) Fake SIN Rating 1 (Fake Licence x2, Rating 1) Lifestyle - High (16LP) - 1 Month, +12 to starting cash =Lifestyle= [ Spoiler ] The Lair High Lifestyle (16 LP) A hundred feet beneath the sewers of Southside The Ghost has helped Tina carve out a cave in the living bedrock. Dozens of tiny passages little more than a foot wide and flooded with water connect to the sewers above. The Spirit has hollowed out a number of chambers and Aspected their Mana to suit Tina. The largest chamber is where she keeps her Lodge and does most of her Enchanting and Spirit Summoning. Comforts: Squatter Entertainment: Squatter Necessities: Low Neighbourhood: Squatter Security: High Aspected Domain Escape Tunnel Work Place Black Hole I =Contacts= [ Spoiler ] The Family Ghost The Family Ghost has always hovered on the edge of Tina's awareness. It's true origins are a mystery but it's devotion to the family is beyond doubt. When her talent blossomed it was the Ghost that eased her through the transition and taught her to work magic. The Ghost's astral form bears a striking similarity to the female members of Tina's family but it does not know it's true orgins or isn't willing to tell. Tina is sure her protector and mentor is a former Ally Spirit, it's use of sorcery and medical skills are not common to any one type of normal Spirit. However she is at a loss to explain where it came from, it appears as a Crimean War Nurse when materialized and speaks with an archaic English accent which makes the Ally theory less likely. The Ghost is bound by loyalty or some sort of Arcane Pact to protect the female line of the family that Tina is the last surviving member of. This presents somewhat of a diffculty as Tina is highly unlikely to produce a daughter of her own any time soon, the Ghost needs to keep her alive until the technology exists to correct the two enormous obstacles to that goal. Tina has entered into a Formula Pact with her protector, she is worried about the consequences of tying her soul to the Ghost's in such a manner but figures the trade off is worth it. Loyalty: 6 Connection: 1 Kevin Bakewell Arcane Fixer Kev is a specialist Fixer that works with the Magical community. He business is not restricted to one particular North American city but spread all over the continent. His services are varied but all profitable. He trades arcane materials and services, he supplies mages to a network of fixers and work to a network of mages, he supplies mundane gear to his mages and can arrange discrete delivery almost anywhere. Kev was responsible for the run that resulted in Tina becoming a Ghoul and while he does not actually feel particularly bad about it, biz is biz, he does at least pretend to. Tina is a valuable asset, particularly now that she is in the CZ.

Shooting Target Group: Members Posts: 1,756 Joined: 17-January 09 From: Va Beach , CAS Member No.: 16,787	street name: Runt Character Info: [ Spoiler ] real name: Helmut Krieger race: Dwarf description: [ Spoiler ] height: 3'6" Weight: 50lbs Age:34 hair: blond eyes: blue Runt is a dwarf with two Blond 3'' mohawks and a handlebar moustache. He's almost always wearing coveralls loaded with tools under a leather jacket, and a pair of goggels strapped around his head background: [ Spoiler ] Helmut was an upstanding wage slave in Germany. He and his parents worked for Saeder-Krupp. His mother,Helania, was a chemist and a head research developer. His father,Thomas, was a maintenance engineer. He went to a decent school, although he ran in a punk crowd in his free time. Upon graduating he got on as a matrix assistant to a Weapon design team at Saeder-krupp. Although he was kept at the low end of the security clearence, he still learned a wide array of weapons engineering. so what happened? the place he worked at was put on lockdown for 12 hours, 26 minutes, 3 seconds. Two other facilities had been attacked. when the smoke cleared, His father was dead, and his mother was missing. His attemts to get answers were shunned, so he decided to go missing too. A tip from a friend higher up told him that his mother's project had its main competition in Chicago. Thats all he would say. He told Helmut to skip town, and not come back to work. Runt spent everything he had to smuggle himself to the UCAS. and now he works in the shadows to make a living and try to discover what happened to his mother.Before he left Gemany, He had dumped his parent's house node onto a chip and wiped it. When he went through it later, He found a half deleted file from a NeoNet research firm. It was talking about something called "cloud link" , but the technical data left was mostly about aresol suspention methods. There was also a mysterious message from someone named "Emit Su'evig" thanking her for her lecture on industrial solvents. He vaguely remembered his mom going to a lecture in Chicago, but it was almost a year ago, and the message was dated the night before the attack. Moreover, this Emit guy said he was from Ares "Environmental solutions labrotories". But all his matrix searching has turned up no such person. Runt tried to research the confrence his mother attended. The main lecture was by a Father Timothy Fitzpatrick on "The effects of industry on the Astral plane and the metahuman soul". He tried to talk to this guy too, but the church said he's been missing almost as long as his mother. He's kept an ear out for runners that might have worked in Germany too. His fixer, Football Bob, told him that he heard a chick named "Skyrunner" had been shipped that way pretty recently, But advised runt to stay clear of her. She was big league trouble. That was his words.

Moving Target Group: Members Posts: 369 Joined: 3-April 07 From: St. Paul, MN Member No.: 11,364	Here's my run down for Aaroth. Really looking forward to this. Background [ Spoiler ] Aaroth was born an elf, in Naperville-Bolingbrook, to a very rich corporate family in 2032. He was their first child, but because he came out as an elf, his parents shunned him most of his life. They weren’t overly cruel, but he could tell a difference when his human brother was born and the difference in how they treated the two of them. Later in life he was sent off to boarding school and was surrounded by rich, snotty people. Between his parents/family life, and boarding school, he developed a dislike of that part of society. During his stay at boarding school, Aaroth starts to experience mental breakdowns. He becomes tired of his life, tired of the people around him, and tired of his family. Little did he know that these break downs were the beginnings of his awakening. One night, after a rough day at school (full of teasing, racial and personal, and the over-all attitudes of snobs), he has a major breakdown and a massive headache. After demolishing his room he collapses on the floor. When he comes to, he is shocked by what he sees (the astral). After a minute (and some panicking) he snaps out of it. With this new experience he learns to focus on this and harness all that it offers. Because of this new focus, he has learned to distract himself from the things, and people, around him that he hates so much. He eventually begins to learn to read peoples aura’s, and gets a huge laugh on how pathetic the rich are on the inside. He eventually returns home from Boarding school. The years go by and he eventually needs to earn his keep. He gets a job with the same corp. as his parents, which he has dreaded. Bug City was a sad, and exciting time in his life. Sad in that he lost his family that day, despite their attitude towards him. It was exciting in the aspect of the Astral/awakened world. This was a very public event, and now he didn’t feel too alone with his "powers". With those times, he also lost his job with the corp., although this didn’t trouble him in the least. He started taking jobs around town (gigalo, male-escort, etc.) and these eventually led to a tie with the mafia with the MacAvoy family (He likes the underdog). The Crash did not have too much effect on him. It was actually a welcomed relief having his SIN lost. His bonds were now free from his former life. With his "new" life, he now is starting to become what he dislikes: rich. He’s worked himself to a medium lifestyle with the jobs around town and mafia jobs. To counter this, he started Shadowrunning and all the unexpected things that come with it. He thoroughly enjoys the rush he gets from the Shadowrun jobs, and the risks that are involved. He also gets a thrill from going into the CZ’s as this is a complete opposite of what he was and where he came from. Attributes [ Spoiler ] Attributes Nat. Aug.

Also, if you want to do leg work you can either mesh it in with your IC post (using spoiler tags to tell me what skill you are attempting to use, along with your dice pool for my ease). Or you can just ask it in the OOC thread. For instance: Jimson asked if Aaroth is familiar with Beacon Tap, he could have added: [ Spoiler ] Syndicates and/or Chicago Clubs (3) + Intuition (4) As we are just starting out I will do my best to keep you guys informed of what your characters should know. But you know your characters better then I do. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Jimson, Aaroth has heard of Beacon Tap before. Its an old pub, somewhat run-down. They cater to family affairs and allow people of all ages inside, as long as minors are accompanied by an adult. Aaroth knows that it is in some way affiliated with the MacAvoy Mafia family. Whether a front, legitimate business, or just favored hangout, Aaroth is unsure.

Moving Target Group: Members Posts: 248 Joined: 12-September 09 Member No.: 17,630	Both pistosl and the Sport Rifle fall into the restricted category. The sawed off double barrel shotgun will stay under the seat...its restricted normally, but with that modification it may have edged into the 'F' category somewhat. Considering his occupation, his being an actual citizen, and the fact he's in Chi-town he isnt overly worried about cops. (He isnt after all a shadowrunner, .........yet) the sport rifle will remain in the car for the meet, but you can see Pawnee doesnt sport any glaringly illegal items...like an uzi or assault rifles

Jimson, Aaroth knows that he was told to come "ready to go". Leaving his pistols outside in his vehicle might be slightly more polite, but as long as they are not obvious weaponry, it shouldn't be a faux pah for this type of meet.

Moving Target Group: Members Posts: 347 Joined: 8-April 08 From: Bug City, UCAS Member No.: 15,864	@ Red-ROM: A bus station locker is the easiest option. Runt would be a little worried about being noticed by a roaming patrol man moving in and out of paneling or pumping station in the O'hare subsprawl, that is really more of an option for the corridor regions. @ Digital: Yeah, the mixed economy thing is cool. But one thing to note, you are in the sub sprawls. Society almost actually exists there, almost entirely owned by the megas, that makes it nuyen country. UCAS money is taken by Ares and middle class people in most other regions, including the corridor. Hours are almost strictly taken by people up on the Northside who are working closely with the old government in the mall. Barter is par for the course on the near Southside and Cee Zee. Thats probably good information for ALL of you actually.

I have off for Veteran's Day, and I'll actually be running a Shadowrun game (Ghost Cartels) with my buddies. We only get together about every other month, and its typically on holidays.

It might make our little Johnson meet go on longer then usual, but I'm sure Frankie will be getting a few questions from you guys, so you should still have time to jump in and do your face thing. Have fun running some good old fashioned SR!

It seems like you guys post at work, or at least during the day. so my posts will be a little behind. I don't think it matters except when I need to ask something OOC and wait for a reply.so far this game is moving fast, which is awesome!

Moving Target Group: Members Posts: 347 Joined: 8-April 08 From: Bug City, UCAS Member No.: 15,864	@ Red-ROM: No problem on the posting late in the day thing. I can't expect everyone to have the same sched as me! I will attempt to check these boards to see if any of you guys have questions for me that are holding things up. That said, I am kind of busy at night, and probably will sometimes forget. Yes, I know, bad GM! I'm trying to keep things moving, but without railroading you. As almost all runs consist of the Johnson meet, I'm sort of trying to get through the usual parts as fast as possible and still give you guys a chance to relate to one another. ALSO, even though I rushed you into accepting the gig, the fees, as with much in Chicago, are likely negotiable. We will likely spend a day or two IRL posting questions and responses in the Johnson meet, but I could be wrong. Once you guys have no questions at all for Frankie indicating it here or in the IC thread in some way would be much appreciated,and would help us move the game along faster.
