[X] My Assistant

[Brainpiercing7.6...]

How about a hacker that has an irregular level of hatred for the mage, even to the point of retreating, and attempting an assassination later on?

As for the sammy, how about a bear shaman with zero tact? He never leaves bear form and causes his team endless trouble. He tries to eliminate walls rather than use doors, and only resorts to combat spells in the event of an epiphany.

Ummm... I don't see the connection to my thread. As opposing runners? That might be funny, but will hardly provide an adequate challenge, and it'll be unrealistic to boot.

Personally, I enjoy creating NPC characters, so, when I feel the creative juices flowing, I get one or two done. This means I have a fairly good sized cast lying around most times, and since I prefer to make runs that are not meant to be lethal, the NPC's tend to survive to fight another day (The one run meant to be lethal, the rescue of a franchiser's daughter from a gang, still ended less then lethal, after a 10 minute fight, in game. The PCs managed to win the fight, but the police showed up before the Gang leader bleed to death. Results of this are still pending, but he was broken out of the hospital by a group of NPC runners)

Oh, for all the lead flying around, the only people definitely dead were the Opfor face, the zombiedrone, and maybe a grunt. The others could all be saved or were left alive.

The Opfor sammie took 22P damage and managed to end up with 12 boxes, so he, too, was saved by his team in the end.

I'm intending to replace my redundant guy with the Opfor hacker, who leaves his team because they were too incompetent (which isn't quite fair, but...). He just has to get his car repaired.
