I'll will try not to cluter up this new thread to much, just safe to say everyone if you have very experemental caracters just post them here--anything goes ALL exotic races are allowed, If you can explain Why you can have a Jackleman Caracter in Shadowrun I'd love to hear it; for example.
Dours-Leshies, hell if you can BS a jubruq into shadowrun That would be great Lets see what happens |

How about a Centaur-horse shapeshifter-ghoul-vampire-drake-immortal-otaku-mystic adept that comited suicide because both the player and GM were retarded for even thinking about it existing?

the most out there we've seen in our group were:
Nightone gunslinger Nosferatu ninj-erk drake hidden life receptacle from former ally spirit that went free SURGEd former vampire gecko shaman that has puckered fingers, can change his skin color, and lisks his own eyeballs Guy that SURGEd into a puddle of water. Think Hydroman from Marvel comics, except that he really can't do any of that cool stuff. We threaten to drink him all the time. As you can see, SURGE really hit our group in a wierd way. |

I'm thinking of playing a Hacker that got cauight "down the rabbit hole" during Crash 2.0. Hes stuck in the Matrix and the only way for the team to talk to him is by going online in some way. He'd be pretty messed up and schitzoid, but a hell of a Hacker. But I just don't know.

I can read the words, but they don't make any sense. Oh, what about a lesbian elf face/gun-bunny! Is that original? |

Jubruq is a race/creature from Earthdawn I think.
Is she hot? Snd pic plz. ;) A female right? Or are they a male in drag pretending to be a female so he can get some FFM action? |

So, make a technomancer, say he can't ever log off, forget about his meatbod, and you're there. Obviously, there would have to be some balance to make up for not taking half the attributes, or most skills, but in the hands of a non-munchkin it could be fun. |

give the meat bod all stats of 1...of course the question I'd ask is how long before the IV drip and catheter give up the ghost. The concept has merit, but would require a lot of work going into the background. Maybe he's a former exec or corp-kid in a coma.
It might be possible to use a variant of "Borrowed Time" where there is only so long before the hospital pulls the plug, but the runner doesn't know when. So now he's doing everything possible to set the timeline according to his own wishes and setting up a seperate place to live, with nurses etc. EDITED for Technomancer wireless capabilities and add second paragraph.

Oh, see, I thought we were going for a Ghost in the Machine character, untethered to his meatbod (which is presumably putrifying somewhere)
This is the wacky character thread, after all. Otherwise it's just the same old quadrapalegic decker. |

In that case just do a free sprite...extra critter powers and the like.

My concept was definatly Ghost in the Machinesque. Meat body gone. I suppose it could be a long tern goal to find another meat host, but getting into it (and its current soul out) would be exceedingly difficult.
And like I said, I'd want him to be very frightened and kinda unbalanced. Remember the Star Trek Next Gen episode where there was some kind of reality time split thingy and there were a whole bunch of Enterprises from alternate realities. One of them was from a Borg dominated universe and Riker was like a scared rabbit screaming that the Borg "were everywhere!" Kinda like that. |

Jubruq wouldn't be that hard. It's just a weak, infertile ork or human with a talent for magic and a free spirit contact.

The thing is, you can't reach Ares's research servers from within your Barrens apartment anymore; you have to move in. So you'd pretty much have to live on a comlink that your friends carry in to the building before you can be useful.

Couldn't you just hop from one wireless device to the next to get there?

I agree.
That's why I said it was an interesting idea only in the hands of a non-munchkin. Otherwise it's just another infirm hacker who doesn't want the hassle of babysitting his meat. |

At least it's not playing a fully AI character.

Nah, you can do that right up until you bump into (A) jamming or (B) some of that nifty wireless-proof wallpaper. Unless you want your runner crew dragging a bunch of signal repeaters along.

my weirdest char (SR3) is a blind satyr magician's path adept with a custom flaw called Spirit Blind that keeps her from ever taking astral perception. her other senses are maxed out, and she melees using a mankiri-gusari (a weighted chain). with her powers, melee maneuvers, and reach, her final TN in melee is 3. she also has a few custom spells that allow her to quickdraw her mankiri-gusari in response to a melee attack, so she's never unarmed unless she's surprised--and with her sense package, including 8 levels of the sixth sense power, she's hard as hell to surprise.

Interesting concept, but put some more things into it. Have him have himself as a dependant (his body) and a lifestyle cost for having access to various networks within the matrix. He has to run the shadows in order to keep his body alive since medical care costs money. Since he is in essence a “ghost in the machine” and not living “in” his body he is able to perceive the body from medical surveillance cameras. The main storyline would be that he really, really wants to get back into his body and for that he needs more expert care. If someone manages to trace him back to his body then he might be toast, the only thing between his meat and quite possible a certain death would be the local security, and whatever ideas he might have. Possible flaws: Borrowed time (or a variant of it, he might not be dying) Dependant, Meatbody |
