Recruitment:Company Men Options

[Critias]

If I get bored enough to make a new character, I will likely email you Tex, aka "The Texan," an anti-Azzie guerilla fighter who was run off his land during all the skirmishing (lost his house, maybe a wife, blah blah blah) and decided to fight back; but the numbers eventually caught up to him. (Un)luckily for him, someone higher than middle-management in Azzie security looked at this lone man's impact on profit/loss margins for the areas in which he operated, and decided to put him to work.

And, as he puts it, "It ain't like I like workin' for 'em, but it beats dyin'. Not by much, but there ya go."

[Aku]

I'm up too 2 submissions. Call is still open, but within a week or so i'll hopefully have a final deadline for submissions.

[Jaid]

k, i think i'm gonna be submitting something shortly...

short version of the backstory, He's a russian dwarf who's interested in mythology/fantasy (figures he may find something useful with the mythology knowledge), signed on for a run against the Azzies 'cause he figured they had the most magic knowledge of all the corps, and he was hoping to "acquire" some extras on the run. he has ties to the Atlantean Foundation (not a member, just a professional relationship), and if you like he may have been doing a run for them when he got caught. He is generally fairly practical about most things, so although he doesn't really like the Azzies (does anyone?) he figures it's better to work for them until he can get away.



for the record, in terms of character creation i presume our contacts will look something like having Aztechnology as our only contact? or should we actually figure out who our contacts would be if we were actually able to talk to them?

[Aku]

You can have your two freebies on the outside, if you want, but contact with them would not be possible, or you can make them azzie memebers, in a sort of "this is the type of person i want to make contact with" sort of way.

Because, ya know, even aztech people have factions ;)

[Critias]

Sorry, never got bored enough to make that guy. I'm out.

[Jaid]

ok, sent mine in.

hope i sent the right file... i can't say i have any idea what the .bak is really :P

[Slacker]

The .bak file is a backup of your character at the time of finalization. At least that is what it appears to be. If you just change the extension to .sr3 it becomes the normal character save file.

[Aku]

I have three characters submitted, and a "maybe" from slacker. Any other entries i would like by the first weekend in january (i'll say, by monday the 9th, noon EST) If i get more than 4-5 I'll whittle them down to that number. if i only have 3 would those already supplied still like to continue the game?

[Sicarius]

I'm all for it.

[Jaid]

i'd like a little more, but if it's only 3 i'm still interested.

[brohopcp]

3,4, or 5 would be great. Heck, any number would be great. Count me in (if it's over 10 members I can count with my toes :P )

[Aku]

ok, well, i've got you three in then, and i think i can say safely, barring a HUGE outpouring of submissions, that you are defintely in (i dont think i would be able to manage running with 10 runners though, so if it gets tot hat number, trimming would have to be done) but, assuming fewer than 6 entries i'd say you guys are all safe and sound, as company men.

[Jaid]

i don't know that i'd describe being "company men" (in this case) as being safe and sound, but it's nice to know i didn't just come up with a character for nothing :P

[Aku]

ok, so i'm talking to slacker a bit about his potential character, and am flushing out some idea's, and want to make sure we're all on the same page for what we'll be doing.

Initially, being on the lower rung of your new company, the early missions are going to be along the lines of "heres the info, here's the objective, go do it, and research/leg work is going to be at a minimum (because, honestly, i suck at it) as you work your way up the corporate ladder (and i get better at this SR schtic), jobs can become more esponaige like, with longer details, and less information provided, with the company expecting you to be able to do that on your own at some point.

So early game, expect lots of combat and non-people oriented puzzles. Think tomb raider, with bigger guns, but "smaller guns" ;)

[Sicarius]

That'll work, assuming I don't get my poor character killed off to soon.

[Aku]

Another idea, for those already in, to ponder: As you can see with the slow responses around here, i think the team is pretty well set, Slacker however, is being a slacker (actually, keeps telling me something about not having time around the holidays, BAH!) So, would the three of oyu like to start and have slacker's character join as a recent...convert, once he's finished and approved? Or would you just wait until the 9th?

[brohopcp]

I would be ready and happy to start at any time, though will be comfortable with whatever decision is made.

[Jaid]

whatever works.

[Aku]

well, thats two out of three, "whatever", I'll start up the ooc and ic threads and let things get rolling. I'm still taking a few players though, so don't feel afraid to post something if you're coming in late....
