The Next African Queen (OOC) Options

[Jeremiah Legacy]

This is where we take care of the business end of stuff.

[Redjack]

Yea!! First character post!!

[Ophis]

Crap does this mean I need to sort my equipment?

Will do.

[crizh]

Did the 20 questions thing not used to be in the main rulebook? I can't seem to find it in SR4 and I don't have any earlier stuff handy.

[WearzManySkins]

Ruff will use Area Knowledge Cape Town to see what if any thing he knows of the Meet Market or the area it is in.

Ukhetshe searches the Matrix to find out what kind of place the Meet Market is.

[ Spoiler ]

The dice-rolling thing is cool. This is my first board-based game since the 80s, so I didn't know we could roll for ourselves.

Anywho, here's an Extended Test, up to my Browse + Data Search.

Extended Browse(4) + Data Search(2) Test.
8d6.vs(5) → [6,5,3,6,2,5,1,4] = (4)

I knew I forgot to mention this.

I trust you guys to make your own rolls, except for Perception rolls and similiar to that. Simply put, when you glitch and crit clitch on those rolls, I don't want you to know until it's too late.

[Shadow]

Astral Perception on the meet market, will observe in detail.

Assensing DP 7 + 3 (observing in detail)

When he is done observing the place he will spend the required number of complex actions to errase his astral signature from the area.

[crizh]

I take it we all know each other and have worked together for this fixer before?

Is the Meet Market someplace we've been before?

[Shadow]

If I may, I recomend sigs off for IC. It makes it a lot more enjoyable read, and easier on the eyes.

[Jeremiah Legacy]

All having worked together before ... I'll leave that up to you.

I like sigs off in the IC post as well.

You are all familiar w/ the Meet Market. In downtown, it is not a common place to find work; it is, however, a common place for casual sex, and possibly an STD. Its security cares about weapons and people carrying grudges, but other than that, they don't care. Drugs, BTL's, hookers. Could be that it was chosen for descretion.

Or Maybe Dr. Delicious is looking for a hootchie mama for tonight and is saving himself a trip.

[WearzManySkins]

As for working together before...Ruff used to work for Universal Omnitech, in and around Cape Town, after that he worked in and around Cape Town. So if others have worked in Cape Town there is a strong chance he will at least know names etc.

[crizh]

I've made the assumption that Bunny has run with at least Ukhetshe before. She doesn't feel comfortable in social situations and treats the 'face' a bit like a security blanket whenever she has to meet folks..

I'm not 100% sure who everyone is and what their specialties/strengths are.

[Shadow]

Whisper is a hermetic mage of the Wuxing tradition. He is stun specialist/utility mage. So not a lot of direct damage spells, but he can pretty much take any one target down very quietly. He is a"my path, your path" kinda guy. The only people he wouldn't work with are sociopathic killers. You know, lets kill everyone for fun kind of people. Not that there is anything wrong wth that, just not his path.

He also moon lights as a warder. He may have even hired one of the Sams as securty while he wards or astrally projects a time or two. I am very happy to have know everyone just so we can move past the whole "I don't trust you" phase of the game and get to the playing part.

[Shadow]

Body test....

D'oh! No hits.

[Shadow]

Whisp wil show up about a half hour early. No weapons just his usual gear (armor, resperator, Sin, etc) and his focus.

[Redjack]

An Shui is a quiet member of the team. One or two calls for a beast spirit pegs him as a street shaman of some sort. He speaks English and Cantonese, but has also picked up Afrikaans and Zulu during his stay in Cape Town. He mixes easy on the street and prefers to walk when time allows. He has a pretty strong personal code of ethics and this causes him to be a little rigid at times, but it also makes him a very dependable member of the team.

[Shadow]

Sounds like him and Whis would be stead fast companions... or hate eachother (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Though hate is against Whisperss Buhdist code.

[crizh]

So that's a Mage, a Shamen, a face, a hacker and two Sam's?

What sort of 'ware does Ruff sport? What sort of weapons and tactics does he favour?

[WearzManySkins]

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/grinbig.gif) He speaks Native level Afrikaans, English 5, Zulu 4, Xhosa 3, and San 3. Strong Knowledge of Zulu Tribal Politics and Xhosa Tribal Politics.

He seems to go unnoticed when he is walking around. But seems to be very aware of things going on around him, ie eyes constantly moving etc.

Best description in boards terms he is a Perception type, most of his wares support perception, his favorite tactics are to "finger/paint" the target and let another weapon system or assets to deal with the target.

He uses Predator IV and a HK 227X SMG, with a knife back up.

Favorite/preferred tactics are to use various vision obscuring devices and then deal with the threats, using his perception advantages over the foes.

His family line was drawn from many long lines of Boers who had settled in South Africa, Transvaal.

Remember it going to be raining well past the meet times, so for me at least, will be taking a taxi/cab to the meet. His wheels are a motorcycle.

Jack is a cape coloured (half black/white) human. He used to work for a corporation as some sort of field agent. He's now a runner with good reputation and is a regular at Poker Tables in the backs of bars across Cape Town. He's Tall and skinny withshort dreadlocks. He wears a suit, tie and shades. He prefers automatics and prefers to work from longer range. His rep is fairly good but that may be helped by how much money that local runners have won off him.

Oh and he almost has an equipment list. I should stick to mages...

[ Spoiler ]

Um, Praetor?....

[WearzManySkins]

@crizh
Arsenal page 24-25

[ Spoiler ]

FN P93 Praetor: The P93 is a bullpup submachine gun developed for the Corporate Court-controlled United Nations peacekeeping forces. During the riots following the Second Matrix Crash in 2064, it became obvious that many of the so called “blue helmets� were ill-equipped for military riot-suppression operations, something the Corporate Court began to remedy by ordering Fabrique Nationale to develop a weapon that could be issued to all forces under their command.
The Praetor features a special chamber system that provides 1 point of recoil compensation, an integrated stock, and a flashlight (optional low-light version +100Â¥). The weapon is also available with an electronic firing mechanism (+200Â¥; see Electronic Firing modification, p. 150). It cannot mount underbarrel accessories.

@JL
Can we tell if the text message from Dr Delicious was sent to each of us separately or in a mass texting?

I don't seem to be able to PM you. Are you blocking PM's?
