Pink Mohawk roll call, The most mohawk things in your gamesW Options

[Rand]

Archery. In. SPAAAAAAAAACE!

...Also, the "Invincible Troll" idea sounds incredibly awesome. I'd want to make a Troll with a Jacked up Strength Score, 12 Levels of Armor, and a cape.

I don't know how practical, that would be. But I still think it would be quite epic.

No capes, darling. They are so silver-age....also, you remember what happened to Captain Amazing? Sucked into a jet engine and BOOM! No more Capt. Amazing. So, no capes!

...Can I keep the spandex at least?

It breaths like Egyptian cotton!

During a tricky protection job we managed to snag one of the other team (a physical adept who had taken a bit of a bashing) and decided to interrogate him.

After two failed attempts by the face to scare the little sod (some good rolls on behalf of the npc) My mage decided to edge a couple of intimidations.

The first was putting a knife into the guys shoulder and passing a low force lighting bolt down the blade (this didn’t have the desired effect)

The Second involved a be right back guys from my mage and some additional intimidation by the rest of the gang. A couple of hours later he’s back carrying a sealed container with “warning dangerous material” all over it. Most of this was handled with role play with the odd roll where needed but the scene played out like this

With the door to the interrogation room slightly open when my mage explains to the group "Right lads I have something here that should take the shine out of that little sod next door" and explains how he knows a guy who knows a guy and has got hold of some of that FAB stuff they used over in Chicago. When half the team back off suddenly (they are mostly awakened) leaving the Street Sam going why what is it. Giving just the right moment to explain in detail how the contents of the jar will slowly eat away at the adepts ability leaving him completely mundane and as such it’s the Sam who will have to do it as none of us are risking the damage.

To cut a long story short my mage in very detailed way explains that when he leaves the room his beautiful assistant (the Sam is a female elf) will start slowly applying the contents of the container which will over a day or two slowly eat away at the adepts soul removing every trace of his ability and scaring him in the astral for all to see as a reminder not to F*%K with us.

He pretty quickly spilled his guts and gave us all the info.

A min or so later after passing the info to the rest of the team the drake turns and asks can we get rid of that stuff as its making him nervous My mage replies “what this” whilst opening the jar and sticking a finger in. “its just lime jelly, its pretty good you want some”

My GM was nice enough to award some Karma for good RP and a different way of intimidation rather then just the normal slaps them around thing.

This used to be so much easier in SR3: no need for fancy gear, a bunch of stim patches would do.

Showing them the CLUE Foundation Archive may not have been the best idea...

You... did point out that it was not a how-to guide, yes?


While I have seen many pink-mohawk moments, and even had a handful, I sadly can't remember them. My neurons are all caked with Mountain Dew residue, they don't work as they once did. Plus now that my group and I are all grownups we don't play as often as we used to... like, hardly ever.

I do recall that my most recent character, a 19 y/o hacker with authority issues, has a rather bizarre way of getting back at teammates when they piss him off: he edits footage of their heads onto gay porn and then sends it to everybody's commlink. Thankfully as the team became more cohesive and professional this stopped happening.

I often try to have mohawk moments... but unfortunately the dice let me down. Like the time I threw a grenade at some bug spirits, but got no successes and the scatter table just rolled it at my feet...

Don't worry, our party isn't -that- lacking in clues. ;P


(I confess -- I'm the hacker Cube mentioned.)


We haven't gotten far enough for a Pink Mohawk Moment, sadly, but I get the feeling they'll be happening a lot once the rigger shows up...

Hahaha... In the game I'm running, our 24 y/o hacker just used that trick to spectacularly mohawky effect. Long story short, the small, relatively novice PC team had been working under duress with another team of runners who had been competing for the same payday until both had discovered that they couldn't do it alone. The PCs found out that the other team had been withholding vital information, so they arranged a meeting under false pretenses with the intention of getting the drop on their slightly more numerous and experienced "partners" and getting their answers from the ones they opted to leave conscious.

The PC hacker, Surge, was a wet-behind-the-ears 24 y/o GoodGet (think BestBuy) techie trying to make ends meet on the mean streets of Bellevue because of a difference in morals with his rich Ares-loyal parents, and he was about as useless in combat as a character can be. He didn't even bother to bring any weapons to this meet, trusting to the mage, the gunbunny, and the element of surprise to see him through. During the talk, the other team's mage assensed well enough to tell that something fishy was going on, at which point their twitchy meat tank Mr. Bucket drew his bigassed revolver and bullets started flying from both sides. What does Surge do? The only thing he can do. Find a place to cower, hack Bucket's comm, and spam him with incessant gay porn popups.

That would have been mildly amusing if Mr. Bucket hadn't been struggling with severe cyberpsychosis. He suffered a psychotic break, bellowed "peeeeeniiiiiis!" whilst waving his gun around in the air as if to dispel the images, and then threw off his raincoat and started indiscriminately firing the shoulder-mounted sawed-off assault cannon his team leader had allowed him to bring for intimidation purposes.

Both teams lost about half their roster, but damn was it fun to watch (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grinbig.gif)

wait what?

When you say shoulder-mounted, do you mean that he had some kind of harness or that the cannon was grafted onto the guy?

[Dumori]

shoulder-mounted sawed-off assault cannon that couldn't get much pinker or mohawky.

[jimbo]

I'm totally loving the responses to "shoulder-mounted sawed-off assault cannon".

Seriously, aside from the whole post being a decent narrative and pretty funny, it hits pink mohawk with that phrase.

Deep in my heart of hearts, I feel like that should be the name of some kind of award. Or, even better, if the 'shoulder-mounted sawed-off assault cannon' could be made into some kind of statuette.

[jimbo]

I have very limited exp with SR, but here goes.

We're playing "Wetwork, Pure and Simple" from Missions and due to strict OOG time constraints, we have ten minutes IRL to do the actual "accidental" assassination.

So here's what we come up with to do away with the target whilst he's skiing.

I Physical Mask (into a Sasquatch), then turn Invisible, the Troll Face, who I then Levitate to the ski party. The Invisibility is dropped, so it appears a suddenly violent, eco-activist, territorial, Awakened Sasquatch has flown (literally) into a berserker rage and proceeds to beat the target into red paste and fly away.

[Orkimedes]

Sir, I have no idea how to follow that. I suppose "death by sasquatch" is an acceptable accidental death in some areas.

"Shoulder mounted sawed-off assault cannon" is a streetsam-troll-physad-with-a-pink-mohawk-on-fire-riding-a-an-exploding-motorcycle-into-Lofwyr's-house PINK MOHAWK EXAMPLE!!!

Just so long as nobody lived and got to take the damned thing with them. That's craaaazy...

[Wounded Ronin]

wait what?

Lol, it's like a plasmacaster.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predator_technology

The plasma caster is a shoulder-mounted energy weapon. A triangular laser rangefinder is used to assist aiming the shot. The laser sight can be part of the Predator's helmet,[2][3] although some casters have their own laser sights without need of a helmet.[1][3] In both set-ups the plasma caster moves with the Predator's field of vision. It fires a bright blue[2] or gold[3] plasma pulse in a straight line. The pulse can be controlled to fire with more powerful charges ranging from minor stunning/wounding blasts[2] or powerful enough to sunder the atmospheric plating of interstellar aircraft.[4] The plasma caster and respective tracking servos are some of the most vulnerable articles of equipment carried by the Predator, being easily damaged.[1][3] The plasma caster can also be used as a hand-held weapon.[4]

As a game play element in the Aliens versus Predator video games, when used in conjunction with the correct vision mode, the plasma caster automatically targets an enemy and the shot is normally a guaranteed hit, (especially against human targets) provided that said enemy does not take cover in such situations, although fast xenomorphs may escape.

The original Predator plasma caster was designed by Steve Wang[5] and was redesigned by Farzad Varahramyan for subsequent appearances.[6]

Grafted, essentially. He was a very large, very ferrous man, and the thing was attached to a ramshackle bracing system on his cybertorso. It was junktech, and just as criminally insane in the game as it sounds out of it. I actually gave them an initiative pass while it flipped into place and he engaged his foot anchors, and the look on their faces was priceless.

Just so long as nobody lived and got to take the damned thing with them. That's craaaazy...

The hacker died, the mage was crippled, and the physad ended up with two boxes left on her condition monitor, not to mention the enemy casualties. The team only finally beat him by siccing five Earth Elementals on him at once, and there wasn't enough remaining to salvage anything. His was the only body they left at the scene, but when the debacle made the news that night initial reports still indicated that it had been a massacre involving at least two people and three large drones.

Ouchies. Five earth elementals? Damn. But the foot anchors are a nice touch, very Glitterboy...

Number one reason to always get a DocWagon contract: your own teammates.


I'm a fan of the foot anchors.

[Xahn Borealis]

I'm a fan of the whole thing! This sort of thing should be in Urban Brawl, or the Desert Wars!

I was just thinking that an action like that needs an epic battle cry, but, alas....

Yah, both things that came to mind for me too ^^
Hrm . . Sawed off Gauss-rifle and you have the Hollander O.o

[Deadmannumberone]

The gauss on the Hollander wasn't sawed off.

[StConstantine]

Jebus, foot anchors? thats the best, although, wouldnt that have some kind of negative to his dodge score. I just want to see one of your runners roll a grenade to his feet and watch him frantically try and disengage said foot anchors before the thing goes off.

Ive been wanting to shoot a guard or some one in a group of people with a dart gun dart filled with the K10 drug from aresenal, even an officeworker. Also possibly cast the SR version of force suggestion to prompt him to attack someone, i think the beserk would set him off and the +6 to strength will keep him killing stuff, at least until his heart explodes.
