So last night we were sitting around before getting started, when we started coming up with truly strange and humorous characters. None have actually been built yet but it could happen.
First one to throw out is the Troll with a Suprathyroid, Symbiotes, Digestive expansion, and a cyberskull with some kind of ultra hard replacement teeth. Basic premise is he eats EVERYTHING! GM: You're sneaking in to the corpoffice, your in the lobby, there are some chairs and a potted plant. Troll Char: Is it a real plant? GM: yeah I guess so Troll: I eat it GM: What? Troll: I eat the potted plant GM: Ok So fire away with the wacky characters! |

Pre-op female-to-male gay transsexual seductress shaman. He attempts to seduce gay men but things kind of fall apart when he takes off his pants.
Blue-skinned dwarf mechanic/rigger named Handy. He wears this odd white cap and sings 'la-la-la-la-la-la' while he works. Bob the Ghost in the Machine technomancer and his free sprite companion Glitch. Beat Man, the very hairy troll adept with Animal Empathy. El Technico, the masked professional wrestler mystic adept from a small town in Aztlan. He was once a member of the Rudo group known as the The Five Satans, who ruled the town with an iron fist and took whatever they wanted with force. One day, the bored and disillusioned Satan Number Four was visited by an aspect of the Dragonslayer in the form of legendary masked wrestler Santo. This experience changed him; he awoke to the concept of justice and gave up his old mask. Taking a new mask and calling himself El Technico he challenged his former teammates and won, but this victory did not come without a price. Severely injured nd forced to leave his home, he is continually hunted by the remaining Four Satans. He has especially earned the ire of Satan Number Five, who has to live with the embarrassment of being named Satan Number Five in a group called The Four Satans. While he does runs for cash and information, he spends most of his time competing on the professional wrestling circuit and he has a tendency to challenge he enemies to a sanctioned match in the squared circle rather than fighting them on the streets. |

I once debated a fem troll that gets expensive cosmetic surgery to look like something you don't always see walking around - a bipedal dragon. She's already got the horns and part of the toothwork.
But I have no idea how she'd survive looking like that! "So who hit the place again?" "Some nut that looks like a dragon; you'll know it when you see it." |

Troglodyte
He doesn't speak. Of course, with the number of scars on his throat, it's possible he can't speak. Troglodyte the troll is so big he looms over most giants. Generally, the teams he's on treat him as muscle. He appears to understand Armenian, English, Hebrew, and Sasquatch sign language (he'll actually use the latter, if he meets a sasquatch). Troglodyte's little secret is that he was part of a series of genetic experiments on an unnamed prison population for religious dissidents (he's Jewish). His big secret is the small explosive device implanted in his chest. Should things turn against him, Troglodyte plans to grab his enemy in a bear hug and activate the bomb, trusting in his innate toughness to let him survive. Yhhhngva A centaur youth selling her services to Lone Star as a "mounted police unit" to afford nanotattoos so she can have zebra stripes just like her idol, simsensation Mrs. Zed (Now starring in a new simsense with Karl Kombatmage!) Zeuvembie A female ghoul shadowrunner that's quickly making a name for herself, Zeuvembie is uncommonly attractive for a ghoul but does nothing to hide her smell or appearence...more than one runner has faced alternating waves of arousal and disgust as her lithe form flirtaciously rubbed up against them. Zeuvembie is fast and nimble, her personal style combining elements of Muay Thai with cyberimplant weaponry. She's particularly feared for her twin cyberspurs...each one comes out coated with her own blood, presenting the risk of infection to whomever gets within her reach. She has a particular hatred of Voudoun "Steppin' Razors," such as those possessed by spirits of Ogoun and Shango. |

Honey, The Reaping Mauler - Honey is a razorgirl, but the blades she has implanted don't come out of her hands or wrists. Razors and spurs have been implanted in Honey's forearm, biceps, thighs and even stomach. Under the concealment of a special made chameleon suit, Honey grabs her opponents, subduing them. Then out come the blades. With jerking motions Honey holds on until her prey succumbs to the pain or the toxins the blades coat themselves with when engaged. The mess is considerable enough to make her chameleon suit useless after one go.

Captain Commander, the Drone Rigger of Drone Riggers. Obsessed with real-time squad-level first person shooters. (Battlefield 5?) Has a love of anthroform drones, which he arms and outfits as his infantry, and goes from there in a twisted small-scale parody of small-unit tactics supported by light armor and air powers. Rarely if ever Jumps into a drone, preferring to use the Captain's Chair overview to direct fire support from mortar drones and jetdrones.

Careful: one of your team mates in my game is of the female origin, and she's definitely female enough to knock you over the head for that if tempted. ;)
Contrary to popular belief, they do exist. It's just a rare, momentus occasion when you get one in one of your games...unless they're bitchy, then you want to worry if you make them angry. ....and immediate apologies to any women who desire to hurt me for that statement. ^-^; *waves AR white flag* |

One of the lesbians is incestuous and the other is a card-carrying pedophile (why else would she be headmistress of an all-girls boarding school), so that compensates. Grandmaster Gruesome: A stereotypical hermetic mage and retired wageslave. He took to the shadows out of boredom and empty nest syndrome. His children have all moved away and have children of their own; his job has been taken by a 24-year-old kid whom they can pay a third as much. Occasionally, people will call him "Merlin" or "Gandolf" due to his advanced age, long beard, and obvious magical trappings. The lucky ones get blown away with the shotgun he hides under his flamboyant robes. The unlucky ones feel the sting of combat spells that are designed to produce the maximum amount of gore possible - powerbolts that flay people alive and manaballs that cause a target's arteries to explode are just two examples. Granny Goodness: Grandmaster Gruesome's wife and a former public relations specialist. Like her husband she has taken to the shadows in order to put excitement into her humdrum life. To that ends she has had some rather severe cybernetic replacements. In addition to a rather large-breasted obvious cybertorso (which she proudly displays by going topless except for a bandoleer full on ammo hanging from her shoulder and across one of her chrome boobies), Granny Goodness sports a pair of Kid Stealth cyberlegs and an obvious cyberforearm. Her weapons of choice are the Panther assault cannon and the Ares MGL-12, although she carries smaller ordinance for the times when it may be prudent to avoid overkill, such as when she is shooting at husband. The two work perfectly together during runs but afterward they usually fall into a pattern of every-intensifying bickering over trivial matters which inevitably leads to them both shooting each other. They never aim to kill, however, only to severely wound. Their justification for their extreme domestic violence is simple. "Makeup sex is great. Just-out-of-the hospital-after-almost-killing-each-other sex is amazing." Unsurprisingly, they have a couples Docwagon contract which specifies that they must share a room in the hospital as they recover. Nurses usually report squeaking bedsprings and elevated heart-rates if either one of them is able to move. |

Hey, my wife's one too!
She plays MMORPGs, and occasionally d20. They're out there! Hyz: You either need to get out a lot more, or a lot less. I can't decide which. |
