Posting Conventions (IC):
I'd like to follow something akin to a normal literary template for posts. I realize that we have a riot of color, fonts, etc. available to us, but if I have to stop and think about what a particular format means I lose some of the enjoyment of the reading. So here goes:

Please pick and use a single font (except as listed below) throughout the life of your posts in the IC thread.

"Speech should be set off like this, in double quotes. Please make sure to end paragraphs before lines of spoken dialogue, and to start new paragraphs after the dialogue. Just like a book. Please use this color - the code is #00FFFF"

Any internalized comments or monologues should be italicized, like so.

Dialogue or information passed in a digital format should use the font=Times New Roman and Color=Light Yellow tags, as I've done here. This includes texts, files, maps, etc. The color code is #FFFACD.

If it's in a language other than English, please set it off in orange. That's the easiest way to distinguish, since otherwise it should look like any other dialogue or internal conversation. The color code is #FF8C00.

Please bold the names of characters or NPCs to make it easier for me to find elements within the posts. Feel free to bold proper nouns if you want such corporations or locations like the Looking Glass etc but its not a requirement - I just need the names.

Posting Conventions (OOC):
I would like everyone to please use Invisible Castle which can be found here. Then copy and paste your dice rolls to the OCC thread please.

Optional Rules Being Used
Learning Metagmagics (Street Magic pg 52)
Learning Echoes (Unwired pg 145)
Spellcasting Drain: net hits do not add to the Drain Value

Whenever you're changing the gear your character is wearing or carrying, please post it here. I will check for the last "Gear Worn/Carried" entry for your character and assume that's what you're wearing / carrying. Same for PAN settings and False ID's. Astral and AR/VR states I'll take from IC posts, unless you explicitly state something here.

In this thread I would like you to answer any of the above questions/concerns. Also feel free to ask questions here or if you prefer more privacy then PM me.

You will get 1 karma a week every Monday starting next week plus additional points rewarded (roleplaying, pushing the story forward, completing a major goal, etc) by me in this thread. Please PM me with any karma expenditures you make. I will ask for updated character sheets from time to time so make sure you have a current copy.

[JxJxA]

Weird, that's the first time that happened with the char builder file. I'm resending in an older format

If that doesn't work, how do I copy/paste to a pm for the char sheet? Is there a faster way than trying to copy the sheets and then deleting the wacky spaces?

[Fenris]

I haven't tried it myself, but have you tried exporting it out as a PDF and copy/pasting from that?

[JxJxA]

It's worth a shot. Thanks, Fenris. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

[Atomic Communist]

I thought I was in this game? I PMed my stuff and everything. Oh well.

[Buddha72]

You can try to resend it to me via PM - I went down the list in my in box. Your choice.

[Saytr]

crippler was the intended namee Buddha. Looking forward to using it.

[JxJxA]

Post up, let me know if everything is okay. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

[Null.Pointer]

Yeah, character alias is NullPointer. Primary method of getting work: ShadowSEA (4/4 contact.)

[Fyndhal]

Twists most common sources of jobs are her contacts, usually the fixer Jenkins (Connection 3, Loyalty 2), but once in a while she does favors for either her Street Doc "John" Fung (Connection 3, Loyalty 2) or her Ex, Det. James Prestor (Connection 4, Loyalty 5) of Seattle's Lone Star Branch.

David Jenkins is an information broker who specializes in "human resources." In other words, if you need to find out something about someone or need someone to help with a job, he can find out or find someone to fit the job. That's what he claims, anyway. The truth is, as far as Fixers go, he's still relatively small time, with dreams of growing his operation. He's generally a decent guy and tries to look out for his "stable" of assets, but sometimes bites off more than he can chew.

To Kei "John" Fung is an extremely skilled surgeon, who specializes in Bio-Tech, though he is good with Cyber as well. Rumor has it he worked in Chiba at one point but had to flee due to a "misunderstanding" with the Tong, Yakuza or a Horizon exec, depending on which version of the story you've heard. Whatever the case, he's skilled, professional and still relatively well connected.

Detective James Prestor works in the Organized Crime division of Lone Star in Seattle and he's very good at his job. He's the one who introduced Eva to Jenkins and "John" Fung when she first came up with her revenge plan; something he's regretted since.

[Notsoevildm]

Eklipse's only contacts in Seattle are:

Magda Reiner (C1:L1), a corp secretary in the spec ops division. Magda knew Heidi well and knows that Eklipse came to Seattle looking for her. While she is willing to help him find out what happened to her, she wont do anything that could lose her her job over it.

Thomas O'Malley (C1:L1), is a desk sergeant for KE. Although the missing woman is strictly an S-K problem, he provided Eklipse with some info on Yakuza activities in Seattle, although no real leads. A grizzled veteran, O'Malley is not bent, but might have some links to the mob and knows when to look the other way.

[JxJxA]

I am dumb and did not read the full post.

Zerone normally gets jobs through his church's theurgist talismonger, Rev. Joshua Hannibal (elderly dwarf; C6:L5). Hannibal is Zerone's primary sponsor in the church, and therefore has the complete and utter trust of the scatterbrained, naive elf. Hannibal usually sends Zerone out on missions to protect the church's congregation, paying him via church donations or magical goods (especially if the magical goods are in lieu of actual nuyen). Outside of that, Zerone might get the occasional request from a fellow church member. Despite his willingness to exploit Zerone as a powerful resource, Hannibal legitimately cares about the elf ("He's one of the few good souls still left in the world today...I just hope his obliviousness to reality doesn't get him killed...").

Zerone's other primary contact is Dr. Rebecca Huxtable (mid-40s human; C3:L4), a physician who volunteers at the church's free clinics. Huxtable might know of people who need protection, but she rarely has any job offers for Zerone.

[Fyndhal]

Zerone

How is that pronounced? Zerr-one, Zee-row-one, Zerr-own-ee? I'm having a hard time getting it to stick in my head.

[JxJxA]

Hehe, the first works. I pronounce it ZEE-rown. It's just a condensation of the symbols he saw on his cloning tube-Subject 01-PO.

[WearzManySkins]

Main Contacts
Firugi Vespuci (Fixer) 3/3
Firugi Vespuci (Magic Fixer, Elven Male) - Firugi Vespuci focuses on getting magical people and formulae, but knows who to talk to for magical goods. Meets folks in Firenze's. He dislikes the Mafia due to their prejudice against metahumans and magic (and for the bad name they give good Italians like himself). He is a xenophile and loves the strange.

Firenze's Italian Bar and Restaurant (Italian Restaurant & Bar, Medium)
This business is actually not run by any Mafia. Firugi Vespuci works out of here.

Malcom West (Wares Fixer) 5/5 Black Market Pipeline-Wares
Malcom West (Male Caucasian human) - alcolm is a skilled surgeon with a singular flair for augmentations. He was a legitimate surgeon until he conducted a few too many Cyberware experiments without proper approval. It was nothing sinister and no one was actually hurt, but a colleague with a political axe to grind used it to get him kicked out of his private practice and blacklisted in professional circles. Although he resents the series of events that drove him into being a street doc, the doubling of his income and ready access to very dangerous people that like him has eased the pain. As for the doctor that wronged him...well, he was party to a personal Cyberware demonstration.

[UmaroVI]

I'm traveling until the 22nd, so I will probably be posting IC on the 22nd/23rd, but I will definitely have it up before midnight of the 24th.

Fat Man's only friend in Seattle is James Wang (C2;R4) the talismonger/magical goods smuggler whose shop he rents the upper floor of. Fat Man is a bit of a recluse, but he'll do odd jobs and solve magical problems for anyone James trusts enough. He sometimes takes jobs from various fixers, or with shadowrunners he's met in the past, but he doesn't have a current standing relationship with any fixer because he hasn't met one he trusts yet.

[Magical Lodge materials Rating 6 if he has yet to set up his lodge]

[Saytr]

day-to-day
Crippler keeps to himself unless needed, those that need to get a hold of him know how. so he always runs his com in passive mode unless in places where it is considered rude or out of place.
he always uses his fake SIN and LIcence everywhere he goes.
he usually wears what ever clothes he can find at the discount outlets around seattlle usually consisting of cut off camo pants and a hoody.
on-run/meetings
Crippler has his Com set to hidden and always wears his form fitting body armor and armored vest as well as camo pants and lackland loafers. As he is always ready if he is going to start the job then and there, you never know where the shadows might take you or when. He keeps his Colt 2066 stuck in the small of his back in case he runs into something he can't beat down in areas he knows he can get away with it, or if he knows the area is going to be high sec he leaves it in the small compartment on his bike when traveling. since it doesn't have a signal rating he only worries about MAD detectors, he keeps his Fake License's explaining his modified body on him at all times ensuring no questions are asked from the legal system about why he has such extensive augmentations or from border crossings.

Eeveryone welcome Dreadsister who currently has board gremlins in the worse way. I edited the beginning post to reflect the information given and thanks all for getting posts up.

UmaroVI no problem as you've seen RL hits all of us from time to time. Post when you can and what you did was perfect. You let me know what was up and that you were still here paying attention.

Respect & courtesy Y'all - that's what it's about.

PS punchy up most of the night with my daughter who thinks sleep is optional at my age. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/frown.gif)
