So I saw Robocop for the first time last week, sad, I know, and the Cyberman thread got me thinking about making a robocop style runner.
Ajax Statistics [ Spoiler ] Background No good deed goes unpunished. That was basically the motto of Mack Jaeger's life. He joined Seattle Lonestar right after graduation. He naively wanted to be a cop and serve and protect. The reality of his job set in quickly. Still he persevered. He was assigned to Seattle's Highway Patrol division and served there for several years. A few years into his career he was involved in a massive accident. His superiors decided to stuff him with cyberparts to see if largescale prosthesis was a good way to increase officer effiency. Of course the cost of his augmentations would be deducted from his wages. A few years later he was involved in a case of human trafficking. Since the incident happened just over the NAN border and involved SINless cargo his superiors instructed him to drop it. So he passed the intel to some runners in the hope that they would sort it out. They did. Unfortunately they did so with a little too much press. Mack's superiors found out he had passed the info to the runners and fired him to save face. Mack turned to the shadows. After all, with his file he would never get another job as a cop and he realized that he could maintain his honor in the shadows. It would be a good way to acquire the funds to pay off LS and his alimony using his only real skillset. Design Notes I went with both born rich and in debt to pay for the massive cyberware costs. He wasn't actually born rich it was just a way to justify the nuyen in a rules fashion. I didn't give him a cyberskull for essence and availability reasons. Those were the same reasons I didn't give him reaction enhancers. Justified by the fact that Robocop was slow. I decided to give him the lower-moderate social abilities to represent the fact that he spent many years as a cop dealing with the public, superiors, lawyers, DA's, ect. So what do y'all think of my interpretation of Robocop in SR? *character made using SR4CG_DK_1g |
