True. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I don't think she would have had such armor (more like light) in the military. But as a merc, you get the most badass stuff you can lay your hands on, right? At least, I would think so (the Barrett has to wait until it can be afforded, though). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Besides, I somewhat doubt, that she will be able to just snipe... that would be kinda boring, or wouldn't it?
The armor is for when she cannot just hang back and snipe, and when that happens, you need all the protection you can get. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I would have picked up different kinds for different jobs, but they are too expensive for that (this beast costs over 60k), so I just settled with the one big armor and a regular set in addition.

Yeah alright, fair enough. Don't try and cross any rickity bridges or climb any squeeky stairwells with that armor on. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)

Well there we go, that is much easier to read and copy. You know just the right christmas gift for the needy GM, Pragma. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

[yoippari]

Since it isn't in the book: do I need to do anything other than pay for reagents to start with a couple of prepared vessels? Or for a complex mechanical vessel pay for the device? I'm thinking a simple reagents in a jar for one.

[Thanee]

Character sheet should be complete now.

You saying you want your pets prepared in chargen? Nah, just pay for what you need to pay for and we'll pretend it's all good. Standard procedures would apply outside of chargen.

Background for Hatfield

[ Spoiler ]

This is Eldon "Hatfield" Mcoy. Roughly 5'9", #160, black hair, blue eyes, mildly pale. He's a voodoo houngan as the official term goes. Since that is what the army called him he figured it'll do. He was identified as awakened by a voodoo mambo before the schools caught on and was taught in that tradition. Even so when he went to join the army they took him hoping to put him in a special unit somewhere.

His military career was varied. His commander could see use in a posession mage and sent him in with small advance teams. He was effective enough but was promoted to a Staff Seargent where he failed spectacularly resulting in the deaths of two of his squad. A short inquirey later and he was a veteren.

Eldon's tradition practices posession for spirit summoning which usually involves possessing the mage though some mages prepare inanimate vessels for the Loa to inhabit. While that is usefull and "traditional" learning to summon the Loas into animals gives the mage a chance to interact with them.

Eldon tried to join real life and did gather reagents for a private talismonger in Baton Rouge but got restless very quickly. He headed back to Lagos with it's familiar swamps where there is always work for a hired gun. Private security is a big business all over Africa especially in the cities where corporations have investments. So he signed up with a PMC based out of Lagos where he worked for the past several years.

He worked for the one PMC up until it fell apart due to accounting problems higher up. Currently he is searching for stable work in northern africa.

Alright then, I gave you people time and pretty much all of you have made use of it, during the christmas holidays no less! You've made fun characters despite your free time being taken up and my whining about various things you did. Sadly, I said right from the beginning only six of you would be active at a time and I am sticking with that. So without further delay, the first six players and their characters.

First:

[ Spoiler ]

Player: Aria
Character: Requiem

Second:

[ Spoiler ]

Player: Yoiparri
Character: Hatfield

Third:

[ Spoiler ]

Player: Doc Chase
Character: Loony

Fourth:

[ Spoiler ]

Player: Pragma
Character: Ace

Fifth:

[ Spoiler ]

Player: Thanee
Character: Kerrigan

Sixth:

[ Spoiler ]

Player: Abschalten
Character: Cor

Them spoilers made it suspensful, didn't it? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif) I'd like to thank everyone who submitted a character, and I'd also like to remind those that did not make it into the initial six that you are not rejected or anything like that, you just got a bit of a waiting period, but look at the bright side: By the time you get in, you just might start with access to better toys.

I'll be abandoning this thread and opening up the OOC thread real quick, I want everyone who's active to please post their character sheets before anything else, reservists don't need to post anything just yet. In the very near future I'll put up the IC thread with some introductory babble and everyone can get on with this game.

Oh, and I noticed nobody yet came together to agree on a name for the PMC, so I'm going to go ahead and assign one. Got one in honor off all the characters that hail from the UK. You all ready for this?

[ Spoiler ]

Ex-Caliber

Warned ya'll it would be groan-inducing

[Thanee]

I'll be abandoning this thread and opening up the OOC thread real quick, I want everyone who's active to please post their character sheets before anything else...

Done.

I noticed, that I'm the only one without an actual "callsign". Thought those were only used by pilots and shadowrunners...

"Kerrigan" is her actual lastname. Added callsign "Lynx" now. So it's Alexa "Lynx" Kerrigan. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Bye
Thanee

[Thanee]

Posting here in order to avoid unnecessary clutter in the OOC... I suppose we should wait for Aria to post Requiem before really using that thread, right?

Bye
Thanee

[Rastus]

No, go ahead and post in the OOC thread. When Aria comes he'll post his character, I'll hyperlink the OP to it, and all will be well.

Beside, I dunno when he'll come around. I'm hoping he'll be back sometime around new years.

[Aria]

No, go ahead and post in the OOC thread. When Aria comes he'll post his character, I'll hyperlink the OP to it, and all will be well.

Beside, I dunno when he'll come around. I'm hoping he'll be back sometime around new years.

Sort of here but not, unlikely to be able to post IC before the 4th, sorry (IMG:style_emoticons/default/frown.gif)

[Thanee]

Aria, you should disable smilies in your character sheet post (there is an option for that below the text window when you edit the post (full edit)).
