I'm sure you can figure what this is for.

Please post Sheets here.

[Oenone]

Here's the sheet for Rossi.

Copy pasted because I'm a big fan of avoiding the woe that pasting spreadsheet pages into the forum brings.

Edited - Because at first I said a big fan of cheating. Which totally gives the wrong impression!
(Unless it's IC cheating. In which case it's probably okay. Providing we don't get caught that is)

Here's Stray

I am a big fan of wiki sheets - the history logs make changes transparent, and I can add pictures!

[Oenone]

I've not dabbled with wiki-sheets before. Are they especially complicated to set up?

Because I have to admit the sheet for Stray is really easy to read. Especially given that it shows the DP's for everything along with breakdowns of cost and availability.

20 questions

[ Spoiler ]

--What is the character's name?

Edgar Michael Thomas. He hasn't used that name since He joined a Special tactics squad in 2048 (he was 23). He's gone by Jasper for so long that its become more real than his birth name.

--What is the characters race, nationality, age, sex, height, weight, hair color, eye color, and skin color/tone, and build?

He was born in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, the usual north American mutt, mostly Irish and and and Portuguese with a smattering of Japanese and Cherokee. Raised in the CAS he got a good southern tan. At the age of forty five, his brown hair is turning grey and he's getting a good beer gut. 4'10" and 160lbs = kinda fat.

--Where did your character learn his/her skills?

He grew up racing beat up cars and four wheelin with friends. When he joined the army they took advantage of that and trained him along that track.


--What did your character do before becoming a runner?

his short stature and southern drawl made for an unassuming personality, he got drafted into a new military project that utilized him for unorthodox wet works utilizing engineering instead of combat prowess."happy little accidents". (When maintenance fixes your car or your elevator, look for the little black box)

--Does your character have any family?

He has an Alcoholic father and a saint of a mother that think he died 22 years ago. Doesn't want to make their lives any worse. Jasper is also hoping the army hasn't dragged them into the search for him since he went AWOL, but he can't risk the visit home.


--What are your characters dreams/goals/aspirations?

He has this one dream where SINderella is licking jack Daniels out of his chest hair, but hey, he's a lonely old man. Right now he's in survival mode. trying to get a safer place to hide out, get some better gear to defend himself. One day he imagines a little compound out in the woods where he can fish, drink, tinker in his garage, and maybe even find a little woman to cook for him. I mean how much could the Army care about an over the hill rigger anyway.

--What is the characters general appearance?

You ever have a car break down in "the middle of nowhere" and pull into the only garage for miles? You seen the guy that comes out to greet you? you notice how he's up to his eyeballs in grease even though there is obviously no other customers around? He's that guy. Old ball cap and safety glasses. sweaty and greasy 90% of the time. coveralls and work boots. his second chin looks like a bean bag chair for his face. his arms kinda stick out at the side because of his round shape. and unless you're a dwarf he's probably eye level with your nipples.

--Why did they choose to be a shadow-runner?

Gotta make the money. not gonna get honest work. he helped out at a chop shop for a while until he could get himself a truck. now he's moving up from crazy taxi, to small time smuggler, to doing some serious runs. Its hard to get used to the civilian tech, and his age isn't helping. so he's been knocked down quite a few pegs.


--What is the characters personality?

A little nihilistic, a little apathetic, a little lonely. but he has a rough, relaxed, and upbeat exterior. He doesn't take things too seriously and has a blunt sense of humor. (think Foghorn Leghorn if you get that reference)

--What skills does your character bring to this group? What makes them special?

He can drive better that just about anyone. you ride shotgun in his tata hotspur, you're probably getting away. also, he's pretty good with a toolbox, almost any toolbox. I think he adds a little bit of an "out of the box" option to have around. And like the military told him people aren't always expecting the dirty, short, fat man to kill them.

--What are some things your character cannot do?

Jasper can't jump or go toe to toe with trolls in swat gear. he can't sit through church or give elocution lessons. doesn't know the first thing about magic. He can't see his toes. He can't go a week without a beer. he can't play the guitar. he can't speak a second language(although he's been meaning to learn. typical confederate American) And he can't find a woman that can cook and put up with his jokes

--What does your character hate and why?

Arrogant special forces types. The military. civilians. Chinese food(it tears him a new one). cheap tools. Wine drinkers. neck ties. running out of beer. people that hack his network. Men crying. women crying. spam. torture(when used on him). Texas barbecue. befriending people just to kill them. talking politics. short jokes (fat jokes don't bother him)

--What does your character love?
North Carolina barbecue. Smooth operations. the sound of a clean engine. cold beer on a hot day. cold beer in general. a good screwgun. new cars. old cars. good jokes. old ball caps. dogs. racing. a good card game with friends. surprising the enemy in fun ways. lots of options.

--What does your character respect?
smart tactics. magic users. loyalty. people that hold their liquor. people that keep thier word.

--How was your character educated?

Homeschooled until he went into the military

--What is your characters moral code?

he's sick of killing for very little reason. he's still working on where to draw the line now that he's done it for so long. but when push comes to shove, all is fair in love and war. he's a believer in survival.

--Does your character have any political beliefs? Religious?

He's loosley Christian, and as he gets closer to the end of his life, it seems to come up more often. he's done with politics

--What item(s) does your character treasure?

every drone and vehicle he names. if you mention dorothy, he might cry.

--Tell me at least one thing I (as the GM) should know about your character.

Jasper misses having a tight knit team he considered friends. he hopes to have that again. But he trusts no one and usually has his drones scripted to kill anything that moves if his biomoniter goes dead and they don't hear from him in 30 seconds. hopefully he'll get to know smeone well enough to share the passkey.

Background
----------
Snow Flower has been in the clan since her youth, her parents were low level street thieves,
and she spent her time skipping school and running the streets entertaining herself in
various game parlors in Chiba. In her early teens she was sent to Seattle to serve in
a Tea House, and with her skills in games and with people she's quickly earned her
money for the clan and her parents retirement. For many years she's run the evening
shifts at the Golden Tiger Garden, a Tea House front for a yakuza gambling den. It's
an easy life, but lately she's grown in her powers through some ceremonial studies,
a fact which means she may need to leave the Tea House in service to the clan.

As someone who has studied to be a Shinto Priestess, it's a given that Snow Flower
knows something of the mystical arts, however, she keeps her the true extent of her
powers carefully hidden. Especially at work in the Tea House, where the knowledge
that the customer may be gambling against someone who can read minds and summon powers
from other worlds can lead to all sorts of problems. Accusations of unfairness must be
avoided. Of course, Snow Flower has no qualms of using her abilities to make all customers
feel happy and comfortable as they lose to the inevitable house percentages. She's quite
capable of generating an incredible level of tips for herself and her shift.

On a personal level, she doesn't think the gambling is real if she uses her powers to cheat.
On command, or to stop an especially hot customer streak, or if to stop other cheats, she
can exploit her powers in service of the clan quite well. Snow Flower is very scrupulous in
distinguishing between her personal gambling fun, and when she's doing it in service of the
clan.

Part of her training as a Hostess is to move gracefully, and as is traditional, she's chosen
a disguised art of protecting herself. It would alarm the customers unduly if they realized
that the supple woman in her traditional kimono and dancing fan was actually weilding a
razor sharp war fan and performing moves designed to cut open opponents vulnerable parts.
Adding the fact the war fan is a Shinto sanctified blade capable of inflicting wounds in
the mundane and spirit worlds would only make matters more uncomfortable for the customer.

Snow Flower prefers traditional gambling games that do not rely on modern computerized
mechanics, after all, who knows how they can be rigged. It's a lot tougher to rig cards
stones and dice. Or so the customers believe. However, for Snow Flower, she's noticed she
does disproportionately worse at any game that relies on modern technology.

As with her powers, Snow Flowers suffers from some discomforting allergies she takes extreme
pains to disguise. It's very shameful to have any kind of weakness, especially ones that
opponents could exploit.

Jimmy No is an experienced bouncer at the Golden Tiger Garden, an adept with the skill to
read Snow Flowers non verbal cues, which proves invaluable in handling matters discretely.
He's comfortable and not overly ambitions, and has actually saved quite a bit towards his
early retirement, which consists of a northern islands hot springs Inn to manage back home.

Butterfly manages the associated establishment which provides shills and entertainments
for the Golden Tiger Garden. While Snow Flower is not at all iterested in that side of
the business, she's supportive enough that Butterfly is aware fo the extra
revenue Snow Flowers ability to convince customers they've been given good service
can generate, and often asks Snow Flower to help resolve issues within the Pearls of Heaven
business. Butterfly knows a lot of what is happening and has connections in diverse
areas.

Jake the Oni, to distnguish him from Jake who is not an Oni, is a cab driver Snow Flower
can rely on to get clients home through any conditions. It's an ugly cab, but it's armored
and the engine is reliable. Jake is a tough young ork who knows his way throughout the
unmapped parts of the area as well. Floating high stakes card games can be run in the
strangest places, and it helps to know someone who can get her there safely.

Burnout used to be a top mage. Now he hangs out as a bitter middle aged man who operates
a small talismongery with the assitance of his former ally spirit. Snow Flower trusts him
enough to be candid about her abilities, and with a touch of sympathetic listening, frequent
purchase of supplies, and the occasionaly advice on the Kami, has gained some trust from
the talismonger. The former ally spirit is a little jealous, but hasn't acted yet, as
Snow Flowers visits seem to soothe the free Spirit's former master. There isn't much of the
original burnout left, consdiering he's got three cyberlimbs, a cyber torso, and a cyber skull
it's realyl just fortunate that he survived.

Timeline

[ Spoiler ]

2044: SINless in Seattle, Alice is born in a poor neighborhood of Snohomish.
2058: She quits school and begins to roam about the streets of Seattle, trying to join gangs and to stay out of trouble.
2065: She joins the Klashers, a new gang on the streets.
2068: She begins a career of shadowrunning as a covert ops specialist.
2070: Current day, ready for more action.

Backstory

[ Spoiler ]

Alice was born from a human father and an elven mother who lived, sometimes together, in extreme poverty. Her parents were both junkies and did what they could to make money, spending it rarely on food, mostly on drugs. Alice saw more of her mother, who was a prostitute, than her father, who did odd jobs for criminal syndicates and gangs, and her father died when she was 12. She has had a couple of half brothers from her mother's side but they weren't close.

At age 14, Alice quit school and started to spend all of her time on the streets. She quickly understood that her best asset was her relative beauty. Dating a man or another granted her access to a better lifestyle and a better status. Unashamed to use her body as a way to improve her situation – even witnessing men fight for her love more than once -, she was in that way similar to her mother, even though she wasn't exactly a prostitute herself.

As time passed on, she began to realize how agile she was, and that she really had a special gift with weapons – something of more interest than her gift in bed. She practiced extensively the use of pistols, the most commonly available weapon within gangs. She began to make a name for herself for something different than her good looks and she greatly enjoyed that feeling.

When she joined the Klashers, at 21 years of age, she had already become a good fighter, both with pistols and implanted spur. It took her only a few months to seduce the charismatic gang leader, Zach the Fridge, a huge orc who kept control with his dominating figure and a good dose of violence. She actually liked the guy, and that surprised her to an extent. He was strong and powerful and people obeyed him and paid him respect. Being his girlfriend gave her a lot of privileges, and she gathered a lot of money this way, which she used entirely to get cyber-improvements for herself from a friendly street doc, Wendy. She proved to be a very good asset for Zach and the Klashers. Although she did not participate much in the money-making activities of the gang, she had a deadly shot with a pred and she could cover her leader's (and boyfriend's) back in a fight easily. Even though they were useful to one another, their love was real and even grew with time. They both knew that they were unfaithful, but that didn't bother either of them.

Her skills continued to improve and she managed to get herself wired reflexes, giving her an edge that is hard to overcome in the Barrens. She was also getting some attention from outside sources. Two years ago, she met with a fixer for the first time. He had approached her because he had heard of her potential from gang crime syndicate contacts. He was pleased to discover that she had very good abilities, and he helped her grow into somewhat of a covert ops specialist. To that end, he thought her extensively about electronics and corporate security measures. She greatly enjoyed the challenges of running the shadows and recently decided to make it her main activity, spending a lot less time with the Klashers, yet sticking to her relationship with Zach. She enjoyed the income and made sure to spend it on ‘ware and equipment, to become even better at her job, which is in between covert ops specialist and sammy, being able to do both quite effectively.

Physical Description

[ Spoiler ]

A very pretty girl, Flash looks young even for her age, and most non-elves think she's human upon first seeing her. Her skin is smooth and slightly tanned. She dies her hair red like fire, from a natural copper color, and she wears them relatively short. Her blue eyes are deep and sensual. She isn't very tall, and has a slim figure, but she's none the less very fit. Her right arm and back are tattooed with native runic encryptions of ravens, rats and other typical icons.

Flash likes to wear a variety of clothes and to disguise herself, thus her appearance varies depending on her moods. On runs, she will typically wear her dark brown armour jacket, black leather pants and high heel boots. That is unless she sees an advantage for rather choosing her chameleon suit. She often covers her face as well, that way she can use the trick of taking off her mask when she has to deal with unexpected and unsuspecting men, playing the card of the charming and sexy spy.

What she looks like with her usual haircut

Personality

[ Spoiler ]

Flash loves to get attention. Since her young age, she always had to go out of her way to get even the raise of an eyebrow from her junky parents. Since then, she has always seeked attention. She takes great pleasure in the games of seduction especially, and she tends to attribute all the successes to herself whenever possible. She is confident and strong, mentally, having grown up in a very rough neighbourhood and in a difficult situation. She tries to enjoy life, but what really brings the best in her is going right into action, and finding ways to really matter within a team. That way people talk about her afterwards, and this is of extreme importance to her.

Morals, Ethics

[ Spoiler ]

Flash's morality is defined by her experiences on the streets. She believes in the kind of code that gangs follow, and she is a loyal person once you've gained her trust - but that trust can be hard to gain. She has no qualms whatsoever about killing someone – they all deserve it in some way anyway, especially corp types who should know better – but she will avoid getting the team or herself into trouble at all costs. She tries hard to be a professional in the shadows, but she often cannot hide her ganger background and street education.

Wednesday, 8:30 PM

[ Spoiler ]

Flash had gone out for dinner at a local joint, with a bunch of friends from the Klashers, including her boyfriend Zach, the leader of the street gang. Walking back on their turf in the western part of the Redmond Barrens, they wore their colors proudly and defiantly. Squatters, punks and prostitutes looked away and hid at their passage. The Klashers were in charge around here and no one would defy them, espcially not with Zach the Fridge present. The Klashers had to stay on top in this sprawl, but they weren't merciless bastards either, they had a code and people knew that. If you obeyed them, you would always stay out of trouble and you could usually even count on their protection.

In this crowd, Flash often passed unnoticed. She was just another following gang-member and a very small one too. Gangers were feared and despised, yet respected "leaders of the community", but she could often be ignored – sometimes even tested. She was a lot stronger then she looked, of course, in reality the very best warrior the gang had. When it came down to a fire-fight, they knew they could prevail if Flash was there. She liked to remain anonymous though, because with her recent occupation as a shadowrunner she didn't want to attract any attention to herself.

Arrived home with Zach, she smiles to the two guards in front of their house before going in. The security was tight around the leader of the Klashers, and this extended to his house, and sometimes his girlfriend too. It was necessary considering all the neighbouring gangs that might one day try to take on the Klashers.

Once inside, Flash turned up the speakers of her cutting edge sound system to blast very loud heavy metal. The walls changed to bright red with orange and black flames to accompany the music. They had amongst the best entertainment equipment accessible to one who lives in such a poor location, which served the purpose of showing their success and also their confidence of being in control. However, the furniture was always arranged in such a way that they could find cover easily from almost any position, in case intruders would come. They were always ready for a fight and this was especially true of Flash.

She got up the stairs to the bedroom and stripped down naked, flirting while doing so, even after all these years. "We're still going to the Furious Cop-Killers show like you promised me, right Zach?" -"Of course, sweetie, we are, but there's something I need to take care of before we leave."

She put on her coolest rocker clothes, with spikes and chains, and started to arrange her hair also. When she walked down the stairs, she saw three large men holding a troll tight and Zach was interrogating him. "You'll tell me who sold you this drek or I swear to god, I'll pull your eyes off your skull, you hear me frackhead?" The troll didn't seem like he was going to talk, although he did look very afraid.

Flash was annoyed at the situation so she pulled out her spur and walked up to the troll, putting pressure on his neck which started bleeding. "You better tell Zach what he needs to know or I'm going to get really angry. We're in a hurry here, so start talking." -"It's.. it's.." -"Yes, go on!" -"I think it's Smelly Joe and his guys.. but I swear I was sure they were with you.. I swear.."

Zach told his men to beat him up good and break his legs before letting him go. "I better not see your face around here ever again, and tell them that stands for every one of them too."

When Alice was finally alone with Zach, in the car driving out of Redmond, she smiled to him lovingly. "You should have waited until we were back before taking care of that, we could have missed the first part of the show." -"Don't worry love, I'll make it up to you."

If you've posted your sheet here, feel free to post IC. I had a really nice post prepared but my computer died, and all my schoolwork died with it. I'm about 95% done restoring it (atleast i was smart enough to back my work up semi-regularly). My post isnt the caliber I expect out of myself, but I do not wish to delay this another day.

[gobogen]

You might want to add an in-game time stamp (day and time) and some sort of indication of location (especially for later when it is more essential) to all your IC messages. This way it's easier for us to figure out how to reply. Just my 2 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif)

Edit: in particular I dunno if it's morning, midday or evening, nor if it's a Tuesday or a Saturday... I'll edit my IC post according to that information

[ChipheadCharley]

It's blank because not everyone has the same fixer, as each would text/call at their appropriate business hours or schedules.

[gobogen]

That makes sense, thanks.

[ChipheadCharley]

I know its a crappy opening post, and I have plans on editting it for content in the near future. As mentioned earlier I'm fixing what my computer chewed up in its death throws, but did not want to delay this any longer than it had been already. So, that you all understand the generic message (and opening post), since you all do not share the same fixer, it is your individual fixers that have gotten you this job. Why does the Johnson use more than one fixer????? (That's the shadows for you!)

[DireRadiant]

We all have the same fixer, we just don't know it yet.

It's could also be outsourcing. My fixer knows a fixer who knows someone who needs someone like you.

Or we can take a few weeks figuring out how all of us meet.

[Oenone]

I'm not going to get chance to throw up a post until Saturday thanks to a party at a friends house. Hopefully this won't slow things down for anyone. I'll try get it up as soon as I'm home for more than half an hour (and of course preferably when I'm sober).

[gobogen]

Exceptionally, I will be quite busy next week, so I'm curious what are the deadlines in the end.

[Red-ROM]

so I've played SR 3 for years, and just recently upgraded to 4th ed. so i'm a little new to the rules. and this is my first game on dump shock. So i guess i'm wondering about the mechanics, and the flow of the game. who rolls the dice? how does the timing work? Any "old timers" got some advice for me? also, as an aside, I'm nothing like my character. I'm sure thats true for most of us, but i'm playing an old, short, redneck, so i thought i'd throw that out there.

[ChipheadCharley]

but i'm playing an old, short, redneck, so i thought i'd throw that out there.

Funny, you just described me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rotate.gif)

I'm new here as well and have seen some things I like from other games, such as date time stamps and rolling is done by invisiblecastle. I'll try to find the link and post it, but I'm sure someone else may beat me to it. As far as flow, since Gobogen is going to be busy and I havent seen a post from another it will be pretty much freeform for a few. After that we'll find our good days for posting deadlines. I'm thinking no more than 36 to 48 hours after I post to respond, as a rule.

[Red-ROM]

hey, I did an edit on my character sheet, I listed all the standard mods for my vehicles and drones to avoid any confusion, and i put their matrix attributes(no upgrades, just derived from the device rating and pilot rating). I'm in desperate need of upgrades quick (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grinbig.gif)
