Fluffy Gear, I am not talking about bunnies [Unless its on your list] Options

[Kovu Muphasa]

What do you have listed on your Character Sheet that has no game effect, but is their just for fluff reasons

Devon [High-School Hacker] “Shadowrunning For Dummies” and “The Idiots Gide for Runners”. In both Hard Copy and Electronic.

[Chrysalis]

A lot of things.

Depends on the character, but this is usually covered by liestyle. Like a real coffee addiction.

Hmm, bunnies in my inventory....

I wonder if I could throw them at my enemy to confuse them.....


On a side note, I think I may create a character that has a copy of Shadowrun 4th Edition in his inventory. Only because it would cause some people's brains to implode. Break the fourth wall by showing people the book and saying "SEE, someone predicted what the world would look like in the early 21st century!"

What I am talking about is the randomstuff put on the sheet like Komodo [Rasher/Phys-AD]. We were taling about this consept on Sunday and put down a Beer Helmet a 6-Pack of Beer and a large metal tankard. he has the Adept Power Elemental Stike Cold and Fire.
The Cold is to Chill the Beer
And he puts Popcorn in the Tankard and uses his Fire to Pop it.

Things that have nothing to do with the game and are purely there for fluff reasons? Well, for the most part just knowledge skills... I did have a character who started with plastic surgery because his backstory had him lit on fire during the Matrix Crash and otherwise he would look slightly... melted. He was the face of the group so I thought it was better to avoid this.

[Sixgun_Sage]

A bag of coffee grounds (he chews them), mouthwash and a roll of very special tape (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

[Draco18s]

I once had a character who had "Knowledge: 20th Century Science Fiction" for giggles.

My current character spent 4 BP to buy a nexus for (almost) purely background reasons. It technically is part of his magical lodge (fluffwise it is the lodge--he (believes?) it to be a UV node and he learned and continues to advance his magic by logging into it).

[etherial]

Akira Kurosawa was a Yakuza Grunt who had "Comic Books of the Late 20th Century" as a Knowledge Skill and worked as a 'Runner under the name "Paul the Samurai". He dated a(nother PC) Cat Shaman named Luna who was a fan of Sailor Moon. He hired a decker (SR3) to study her online buying habits and managed to find a rare Sailor Moon Doll that she had been trying to find. He also bought a hundred kilo bag of kitty litter for her Ally Spirit.

Those a fuzzy, not fluffy.

Neat.

The part that made me giggle about 20th century sci-fi is technically ShadowRun:The RPG exists inside itself (the (un)official date of diversion being approx. 1991, SR 1st edition having been published 1989).

[Molly Hayes]

My current character is in SR3. Has 20th Century Comics as a knowledge skill and the DC comics specialty. As a fixer/face when people ask for fake SINs she's giving them names of comic book characters.

[Mäx]

For my Sasha that would be 45 rating 6 mapsofts and the fact she has 17 language skills (most rating1-2) and Linguist quality. Even thought they have in game uses their are there mostly for background reasons, especially mapsofts as she has a habit of getting those for every city she visits.

[Cray74]

I have a PC with a very functional armored long coat with completely fluffy heated and cooled pockets for cold beer and hot sandwiches, or other good food when the PC's on a stakeout. Paranoia about a good food supply is an artifact of the PC's symbiotes.

As a semi-functional thing, the PC also has a load of data softs with such things as the contents of the Gutenberg Project, any freely available "good" literature and movie, and whatever other library-type contents the PC can get his hands on - he likes to be well read and, after Crash 2.0, isn't going to depend on Matrix-based libraries for his information. This library can be useful for supporting his knowledge skills, but it's mostly just fun to dive into the virtual library.

[Randian Hero]

Definitely cigarettes.

[Chrysalis]

A 6 foot tiger costume and a used bottle of oil of civit.

[Godwyn]

A bionic tail and ears, both neko-style. While technically they have in-game stats, that is not their purpose.

And .5 essence for the tail, the cyberdoc better have made it -very- fluffy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cyber.gif)

[DireRadiant]

Mage with cyber implanted razors to deal with the nail biting. No combat skills, no physical skill defaults, and loss of essence.... that's fluff.

[Lugburz]

Implanted razors to keep him from biting his nails. That is bloody brilliant. Your complimentary pie will be arriving shortly.

My physical adept gentleman thief lives an uncharacteristically spartan lifestyle, but has a habit of keeping around some of his old useless gear, like the lycra face-mask he used to wear, and his battered and much-repaired camoflage suit. (They're hanging on the wall of his loft.) He also keeps around a cheap rusty bicycle that he purchased in order to get home after that one time he was arrested. It serves as a constant reminder not to do anything stupid, even if the actual arrest wasn't really his fault. (It's a long story.) His real fluff lie in the knowledge skills: "Middle Eastern Literature" and "Martial Arts Cinema."

My hacker character, an 82-year-old 4channer, was known for carrying around a mace known as "the ban-hammer", mostly because he thought the name was cool- not that he never used it. He was also sometimes accompanied by a surveillance roto-drone (the roflcopter) which he stole from the retirement community during his break-out from said community. I agree fully that this character was in very poor taste, but good god was he ever fun to play.

[crash2029]

One piece of gear I almost always take because I really want one, e-paper.

I am seriously considering sigging that.

[Hagga]

Last time I played? A spirit possessed skull as an ally spirit. It couldn't really do much, but it was essentially Morte.

Everyone loves Morte.
