I am looking for some players who are interested in playing a Delta Force type team for the CAS. As my other game, each character will be fulfilling a specific role in the team. So please when you submit your full and complete character, have his role spelled out long with your DSF handle.
This is a game based on my knowledge of how the real world military operates. Not any thing published(Fasa/Fanpro). The Setting is 2064 and we will be using 3rd ed rules. House Rules Only 1 troll or 1 Ork is allowed, not both. Only 1 Elf or 1 Dwarf is allowed, not both. No Variant races allowed. Only 1, non mage, awakened character. Use of Rayguns Weapons and Ammo is mandatory. Character Creation 125 Points +30 Karma Initiation is allowed. Consider yourself part of a group when doing it. Use money to buy your 'preferred gear' load out. Don't worry about life style or vehicles. Advice to get in Be Authentic. Look up some Army terminology, schools, whatever and use them. Have nice clean sheets. Only send me finished characters on easy to read sheets. When you are submitting your character, please specify the roll and rank he will fulfill. This is a military game, if you have problems taking orders from someone, don't submit. Positions 1st LT - Squad Leader - General Combat Specialist Sergeant First Class - Second in command - General Combat Specialist. Staff Sergeant - Third in command - Sniper/Scout Staff Sergeant - Fourth in command - Medic/Mage Sergeant - Fifth in command - Demolitions/anti - vehicle Sergeant - Sixth in command - Heavy weapons You will notice there is no Decker/Rigger slot, don't submit one. All characters must have the following skills and attributes of at least 4. How you get them is up to you. But you do not get them for free. Body Strength Quickness AR SMG Survival Etiquette Military Military knowledge Athletics Stealth Parachuting If your the mage and this means you have to take less spells so be it. Having a special skill like magic doesn’t mean you can be a weakling and make it to the CAS Delta. Ask questions if I didn't cover something. |

If I wasn't already in too many games/projects, I would SO apply for this one.
Damn you Shadow! |

Branch: Is the CAS Army, Special Forces - Delta. Warrant officers are "technical" positions int he millitary. Helicopter pilots, technician, administrative personel, etc. It is a rank that grants you oversight of all enlisted, but no officers. Warrant Officers are generally not in the SF, so no. The Unit is all army, all SF, all stationed together. Not JOC. No Surge. |

JDragon: You can pretty much build a SR3 character using NSRCG, without owning the books. I'm sure other people would help you with rules questions.
Remember to submit them in a different format though (see Shadow's house rules). Shadow: I'm going to try and build either a sniper/scout or a demolitions guy. When would you like submissions by? |

If I can play around my phys therapy schedule (erratic post times) I'd like to try and put together a guy for the 1lt or 1stsgt spot.
edit: Also, can I flat-out skip purchasing gear (like guns/armor) and just requisition from what the unit has available (or whatever is available locally...i.e. requisition gear from the security team's armory on whatever base we stage from)? Realistically, I'd wait to hear the parameters of the mission before choosing a "preferred" loadout. |

I'm not in any hurry. I will give everyone a week to hash out ideas here, and another to make the actual character.
Call it, June 9th. |

Ooooo, I have a good template for that Heavy Weapons guy.
Someone else posed a question like this, though - what's the availability cap? |

I´d like to aply for one of the general combat spec positions. Probably a human, former spotter from a sniper/scout team. I´d be cool with the 1st Lt. as well as with the 2nd in command, so I´ll do bg to fit both positions.
The purcasing gear later thing still dos mean, we should put ressourcepoint aside, for guns/gear, kind of the gear allowance, the soldier has, based on their contacts and previous performance (similar to the ressource pool optional rule for spy games in SOTA64), right? Another question, is the number of Adepts restricted for this game? |

Only 1 non mage, awakened character allowed.
Make a character for a specific spot, I wont accept characters labled for more than one slot. |

Another thing: you said we have to use Raygun's weapons. Can we still use some SR weapons as well?
And another thing, while I'm at it: how "authentic" is this game going to be? Authentic as in "no room for witty banter once in a while," like you see in some movies? |

Ok, then I´ll do a Sergeant First Class - Second in command - General Combat Specialist.
Would the idea of a former spotter interfering with the sniper/scout, or would that be ok? |

As long as he is able to shoot something other than a Sniper rifle effectively, then yes this is fine.
Sure, but it will hurt your chances to get in the game. The SR guns lack a lot of flavor that the Raygun games bring in.
Witty banter is fine. All close knit teams have that sort of thing. Malicious behavior or insubordination is not ok. If you have never been a soldier I know it’s hard to understand that a single misspoken word can get you thrown in jail. Or that when orders are given its on pain of incarceration that they be followed. So I will cut some people some slack. But not much :) |

If there is still room, I'd like to toss my name into the hat for the 1st Sgt spot. I'm thinking a guy who came from an ODA...weapons sgt. Did a lot of trainging guerillas...probably in the Yucatan. An extremely rough, no-bullshit sort of guy.
Let me know if the spot is still open, and I'll throw together an actual character. |

What no Tunnel Rat? :P
(I wouldn't be able to play, but the first character I made in SR4 was a tunnel rat, albeit non-military) |

Plenty of room, people are just tossing around character ideas. I suggest you all figure out who is submitting for who to maximize your chances. |

I would like to toss in on the demo expert. And since it has been a very long time (2 yrs) since I played shadowrun, I'll allow him to be the boot sgt if no one minds.
Working on the background as we speak (or read as the case may be.) |

So, which one would you prefer? I´d apply for the other one. Besides, I´m not intending to take a Metahuman, so everyone else aiming for one, no competition from this side. Though I´ll probably submit an Adept (unless all you people post that you are submitting adepts :P). |
