@Dante/VirtualScream

If you want to pick up a conversation with Dubstep, I'll be arriving at Hai Fuk shortly after 12:30 to meet with Cat. Dubstep is AmerInd, dressed overly sharp for this neighborhood and moving along the the beat of a set of large headphones that appear to have been modded/repaired by hand a few times.
When he first gets there he will look around for the person he's supposed to meet and then take a seat and order up a steaming bowl of noodles. While he waits, he will be doing some light AR activity and looking up any time somebody new comes into the place.

@RdMarquis, LeFey is on the team tacnet, so she would have information about status as fast as anyone else, including Sproggets warning.

Can't believe I didn't realize that. The post has been edited.

@E:Tribes
Hmm stingers, learn something new every day. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Yup, I'm gonna have Tweak try and break through / push aside the Americar at the kerb side of the road.

First time I'm doing this, so if someone spots rules mistakes, chime in.
Let's say Bulldog Step-Van (Body 16, Armor 8 ) at 60 metres/turn.

Ramming, our van has a base DV of 16P at that speed and has to soak 8P with 24 dice itself.
Treating the Americar as barrier, it tries to soak 16P + successes on Tweak's vehicle test damage with 2 * its armor rating and if the remaining DV is at elast equal to its structure rating, we break through. If not, well, let's see. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

BTW, made another attempt at setting up an account with invisiblecastle and this time it worked. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

First, the soak roll for our poor van: 16 body + 8 armor give exactly the 8 hits we need. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Second, Tweak's driving roll: Response 5 + Pilot Ground Craft 2 + hot VR 2 + Handling 1 for 2 hits.

Third, Tweak has to make a second Pilot roll as a save vs crashing: 10 dice again for only 1 hit. Luckily, the hot VR means he only needs the one. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Aria, if modifiers make that a fail, I'll Edge to reroll.

Long story short: The car has 2*armor rating to soak 18P down to less than structure. If they're about the same as a sedan's armor and body, we should crash through without much trouble.

Edit: Must have confused the van with some other car, Handling should be 0 not 1. Luckily, the last die was a dud on both rolls.

I was going to say that Tweak should also get +2 dice pool on the vehicle tests from tacnet, but rereading UW128 looks like does not apply. If the target vehicle had been moving, then yes for maneuvering, but a stationary target is not dodging, so no probable vector calculations needed. Given the initial description, that car is already 'hurting', so could finish destroying with less.

Given my luck with Pilot rolls, those two dice wouldn't have changed anything. During one campaign my character managed to sink every single ship he took control of. Luckily, the GM kept attacking us with pirates, so we had a steady supply of ships. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Gemeaux: Ini 15 (3IPs) Mordred: Ini 11 (3IPs) Tsubaki: Ini 10 (2IPs)

Pre-genned Rolls

[ Spoiler ]

Okay, here are some rolls:

Edit: I forgot to take my -1 penalty, so I'll knock off the last die and change values as necessary. Sorry. x_x

Visual Perception: Using Ultrasound to negate other modifiers
Int(3) + Perc(3) + Vis Enh(2) - Smoke (2) = 6d6 for 2, 3, 3 2, 3 2, 1, 3, 1, 0, 2, 3.

Attack: Using suppressive fire with Le Repartie---modified Colt M23 using EX-Explosive Rounds (DV 7, AP -2), 50 shots per clip, on 3rd and 6th attack he only has 10 bullets in the clip so reduce DV and AP by 1?
Agi(9) + Fire(4) + Smartgun(2) = 15d6 for 6, 4, 5, 4, 4, 3, 7.

Defense: Have watchful guard so I start suffering defense penalties after second dodge attempt. Will abort to dodge if anything looks nasty. Knock off last dice as necessary.
React((IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) + Dodge(4) = 12d6 for 2, 3, 1, 5, 2, 3

I really should have my character sheet out when I post. I almost forgot I had a periscope.

Anyway, here are some attack rolls.
Logic (5) + Semiautomatics (6) + Smartgun (2) -1 = 12d6
12d6.hits(5) → [4,4,4,2,6,1,1,5,6,3,1,5] = (4)
12d6.hits(5) → [6,2,1,3,6,1,2,6,2,1,1,3] = (3)
12d6.hits(5) → [2,4,4,6,5,2,2,2,3,1,1,3] = (2)
12d6.hits(5) → [2,2,6,5,5,1,2,1,6,6,3,3] = (5)
12d6.hits(5) → [2,6,3,5,3,4,3,1,3,3,4,4] = (2)

Just in case it comes to fighting in melee, here are some Unarmed rolls. Killing Hands does 8P, no AP.

Logic (5) + Martial Arts (7) + Improved Ability (2) -1 = 13d6

Combat order:

[ Spoiler ]

Tsubaki’s spirit Fear rolls:
8d6.hits(5)=3, 8d6.hits(5)=3, 8d6.hits(5)=3, 8d6.hits(5)=1, 8d6.hits(5)=0, 8d6.hits(5)=3

1.1 Mordred fires, Gemeaux arrives, gives grenade to Mordred, Collots get inside, Tsubaki summons spider woman [Force 4], opposition deploy grenade launcher
1.2 Gemeaux throws grenade, spirit manifests inside the lead vehicle (only gets 2IPs when manifest), grenade launcher fires, air burst CS gas canister
1.3 Bang goes Gemeaux’s grenade, Gemeaux & Mordred put on respirator / gas mask, Tsubaki outside gas cloud

2.1 Spirit uses fear power on first attacker [2 net hits], attackers exit the vehicle – one of them not exactly of his own free will! Mordred moves back inside pump room, Gemeaux stays to fight, Tsubaki summons watcher 1,
2.2 Spirit uses fear power on second attacker [2 net hits], PCs need to resist power 5S gas attack, Tsubaki summons watcher 2, attacker 1 running, Mordred takes 5 boxes of stun, Gemeaux has 4 boxes stun
2.3 Mordred and Gemeaux retreat away from the door and take up defensive positions

3.1 Spirit uses fear on attacker 3 [1 net hit], first turn of attacker 1 and 2 running away, Tsubaki sees her spirit under attack by a comparable force spirit (air elemental)
3.2+ momentary lull…spirits still battling at stalemate…

5.1 Endoscope comes around the pump room door.
5.2 Gemeaux tosses another phos grenade at the door
5.3 Grenade goes off, small explosion as a grenade cooks off, heavy smoke in doorway

6.1 Microskimmer drone enters and fires a flashpak [-4 visibility or -2 with flare comp for 10 rnds (or until you destroy the drone!) – note, mods stack with smoke], attackers enter the pump station. Tsubaki and the Collots are retreating further into the pump station
6.2 Gemeaux destroys the drone, Mordred hits one of the breachers with a burst. Attackers get some cover at the top of the companionway looking down into the pump room
6.3 Tsubaki loses contact with spirit outside, Gemeaux fires at Mordred’s target & he goes down, Mordred fires [using pre-genned rolls], wings attacker 1

7.1 Mordred & Gemeaux fires again [using pre-genned rolls], Attacker 1 lays down suppressing fire with SnS, attacker 3 drops to same floor level as Gemeaux & Mordred. Gemeaux chucks grenade at attacker 1 (assuming you don’t risking life and limb against SnS and throw once burst has gone past…!)
7.2 Attacker 3 burst fire at Gemeaux (rolled surprise for you both! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ork.gif) ) Attacker one drops his gun and launches himself down to your level like a burning comet!
7.3 Gemeaux fires at burning guy and he goes down. Mordred targets Attacker 3 but misses in the confusion. Attacker 3 wings Gemeaux [1 net hit = 5+1S/Im +2: Resist Bod+Im = 10D = 4 hits = 2 more stun & knockback!

8.1 Gemeaux & Mordred fire at attacker 3, attacker 3 fires flashbang at all of you!
8.2
8.3

Mordred and Gemeaux, can I have resists against the flashbang please as it's a bit out of the ordinary! 6S -3AP resisted with Impact. You get cover bonus [+4D] offset by area effect [-2D] as the grenade has come from behind your cover but you still get assorted equipment between you and it...

Gotta love non-lethal tech, it's often worse than lethal (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ork.gif) (and it's not just a gamey reason that they are using it against you, there's a plot reason too!). Hope you bought some stim patches! If not I'm happy to retroactively say you have some, you all have sufficient posts under your belt to buy a few and every shadowrunner should have several!

Tsubaki, to confirm once again, the exit you are at will take you outside at the far end of the dam where you entered. To get to the boat you need to go back in and down through the make-shift door leading to the Clearwater compound. You may or may not be able to get into the compound from the shore (you now know where the entrances are!) but the entrance to the boat chamber doesn't appear to be at the shoreline?!?

If you choose to go outside you have an open space and then some tree cover. The shore or the resevoir are fairly barren though with little or no cover.

All: On the optimistic note that 'you've got them pinned' don't forget you've only seen the first car full so far...just thought I'd point that out (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ork.gif)

[Fairy]

@Aria

Oh, okay! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) So, does this mean that the boat CAN arrive to shore? It sounds like there may not be any boat entrances, but if the entrance is somewhere else, the boat could possibly be driven on over to this particular shore and do some picking up of people? ...Right? XD

Otherwise, let me know so I re-write my post accordingly. XS

[JxJxA]

@ Aria:

Cripes, I may have to buy a few of those stim patches. x_x On a lighter note, now that I know that CoP has a streamlined char building thing, I think it's time to resurrect Trismegistus! XD

[Slacker]

@Virtual Scream
I've been super busy the last few days. I need to post a Darkhorse post to conclude Cat's first job and then another post to get to the noodle place. I'll try and get this done ASAP, sorry if I'm delaying anything.

No worries from my end. I posted something IC for Cat and Dubstep to meet at Hai Fuk Noodle Shop for lunch and now he's there and things are moving towards Dante come talk to him while waiting for Cat to arrive.

[RdMarquis]

@ Aria:

Cripes, I may have to buy a few of those stim patches. x_x

I'd do the same, but here's the thing.

Body (3) + Impact (6) + Cover (2) - AP (3) = 8d6

I only got one hit, which means Mordred is unconscious.

http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3932778/

Love to Edge this, but I don't remember if I have any left. Unfortunately, I lost my character sheet when my old computer broke. I'm going to look at my old posts and see if I spent it all. Incidentally, he's out of explosive bullets and switching to regular. Assuming he gets the chance.

[RdMarquis]

I've searched all my posts since I registered at Dumpshock and found no references to rerolls (from Mordred) or Edge. If it's okay, I'm going to assume I had one left, and use it to reroll the dice that didn't get hits. If not, I'll thank my teammates to drag me to safety. ^_^;

http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3932805/

3 hits.

Mordred is down to three Stun boxes, but that's better than being completely out.

[JxJxA]

@ Aria/E:PL/UK:

Depending on what happens with my role, you guys may be dragging Gemeaux off. I've taken 6S already

Soaking flashbang:
Body(4) + Impact(5) + Cover(4) - AP(3) - Area(2) = 8d6 for 2 hits. I checked my posts from the start of the fight, and I think I've only spent the one point of Edge in rerolling my failed thrillseeker roll, so I'm spending 1 point of Edge to reroll misses for 2 more hits. Suffice to say, I feel like crap, but at least I'm still up and running. x_x

What kind of action is it to un-jam a gun? I don't know, but I'll (hopefully) need to next IP.

La Reponse: Modded Savalette Guardian (smartgun built in)
Mods: Extended Clip, Improved Rangefinder, Internal Silencer, Skinlink, Advanced Electro Safety Shocker
Range w/o penalties: 0-20 (-2 for long, -5 for extreme)
Ammo: EX-Explosive (15c)
DV: 6P
AP: -2
RC: 1

Free action: Switch Le Repartie to offhand
Simple action: Quickdraw La Reponse and shoot Attacker #3
Quick Draw: Need 3 hits
React(8 ) + Fire(4) - Wound(2) = 10d6 for 4 hits. Boom.
Shoot Attacker #3
Agi(9) + Fire(4) + Smart(2) + Synch(1) - Cover(2) - Vis(2) - Wound(2) = 10d6 for 4 hits.
Simple action: Shoot Attacker #3 again
Agi(9) + Pistols(4) + Smart(2) + Synch(1) - Recoil (1-1=0) - Vis(2) - Wound(2) - Cover(2)= 10d6 for 5 hits.

11 bullets left in clip

[Aria]

Ok, E:Tribes turn to see some combat (man I'm a gluton for punishment!!!). As with E:PL it makes sense to get some pre-genned rolls from each of you (best case so we'll add all the positive mods that seem appropriate and then I can knock off D from the end as needed. It would really help me if you can copy and paste the actual rolls (plus the assumptions you've made on mods etc) in so I don't need to go through to Invisible Castle to check them that way!

So, a single initiative roll (unless you really want to roll lots?), perception rolls, your normal attack rolls, defense rolls (plus good cover seems logical, any other positive mods that seem reasonable), full damage resist rolls assuming no AP and against ballistic armour, anything else you can think of now...happy to roll others as needed but this is a good start!

CoP character submission

Mieke Van Der Veen
Human Female, mid 20s
Blind Jazz Pianist and Signer
Board Member of Regulus Joint Industries

[ Spoiler ]

Twenty Questions

Background
1.Where and in what kind of environment did your character grow up?
It would be easy to think that someone like Mieke would have had something of a hard time growing up. But, as it turns out, it is quite the contrary. The youngest daughter of successful and wealthy parents, Mieke and her older brother, Pascal, never longed for anything in their entire life. The numerous homes they had as a family were always comfortable, well furnished, and in most countries, borderlined on the luxurious. Mieke went to the best schools available to her, and had the best private tutors. The daughter of an “old money dutch family”, Mieke was born in the United Netherlands, where she spent most of her childhood, . Between then and adulthood, because of her father's work, Mieke would call numerous place “home”: the Allied German States, Austria, France, Japan and Switzerland. Although a very busy man, Mieke's father always found time for his daughter, allowing her to grow up in a very decent and healthy corporate family. Being constantly cared for and provided for has made Mieke into a bit of a naive and idealist woman.
Althought the Van Der Veen family could easily qualify as “old money” (having made a fortune, over generations, from both banking and import/export), the family took a rather big bargain by investing most of their assets in the creation of the Royal Dutch corporation, in the early days of the United Netherlands. When the Dutch megacorporation experiment failed in 2062, the only thing that kept the Van Der Veen from being completely bled dry and bankrupted (well, aside from large sums of nuyens in offshore Sicilan banks) was the amount of blackmail material the head of the family, Mieke's father, had against members of parliament. By January of '63, The Van Der Veen were amongst the major shareholders of Regulus Joint Industries, the corporation that arose from the mergers of Royal Dutch and British Industrial. By 2065, Regulus was aggressively carving a place for itself on the European market, making a few friends and a lot of enemies amongst the way. Mieke's father, a proud man, still felt it like a personal insult that Royal Dutch had been literally kicked out of the Netherlands, and so, took it upon himself to reestablish a foothold in their native land. Unfortunately, by 2065, most of the United Netherlands was under the talon of S-K, and somewhere along the line, someone got worried RJI might succeed in retaking it's place. On the summer of 2066, somewhere over the English Channel, an RJI private jet disappeared off the radar. A few days later, french authorities were fishing out the bodies of half a dozen RJI employees, Mieke's father amongst them.

After the funeral, Mieke's father's stocks have were divided in 4 equal parts: 25% to Miekie, who was only 19 at that time, 25% to her older brother Pascal who was already working for RJI, 25% to their mother, and 25% to Lambert Klass, Mieke's father's right hand man. Mieke's mother was never the same after the loss of her husband. She slumped down into a heavy depression, which is still, to this day, gnawing at her. A joyful person, full of life and creative energy, much like Mieke, she now stays cooped up in their Paris townhouse, and hasn't been out for the past 5 years. What voting power her shares of RJI hold has been given to Pascal. Since that day, Mieke's naivete has been crushed. The perfect vision of the world she had been brought up in now shattered, she became disgusted with the world. Still an idealist, her brother and her have discreetly taken up their father's dream of restoring the Dutch people to their former glory. Both have also added their own little touch to Van Der Veen dream: revenge. Revenge not only for their father and mother, but for the sorry state the other AAA have left their country in. Whereas Pascal has turned out to be extremely skilled in the boardroom, and is truly turned out to be his father's son, Mieke has little experience on the corporate scene.

2. What are your character’s relations with their family? (Does your character keep in touch? Where are they now?) Mieke loved and cared deeply for her parents. She keeps in touch with her mother as much as she can, even if the experience is always rather painful. Since she has only been living on her own for the past few years, Mieke still feels a bit unsecured, and so, she has a tendency to fly over to see her mother or her brother, whenever possible.
3. Does your character have an ethnic background? (Is it relevant to them?)
Mieke is Dutch.

Appearance
4. What does your character look like?
Mieke is tall and thin, with legs that never quite seem to end. With a full head of beautiful red curly hair, and the freckles to match, she is not a woman who goes unnoticed easily. Apparently made almost only of vertical traits, Mieke is not a curvaceous woman at all, and sports a body closer to that of a girl than a woman. She constantly hides her eyes behind a pair of shades, both from habit and as to avoid putting people ill at ease with her blindness. She has an elongated face, with a short pointed nose, and thin lips that always seem to smile.

5. What does your character dress like?
Mieke dresses in a rather conservative fashion, favoring long skirts and dresses whenever she can. She always does her best to dress elegantly, favoring white, black, gray or very soft colors. She is never without a pair of shades.

6. What are your character’s physical quirks?
Having a malformed occipital lobe, Mieke visual cortex is unable to process information. Her eyes function perfectly, in the sense that she posses undamaged optical nerves and retinas, but they lack the ability to see and her pupils are constantly frozen wide open.

Beside being blind, and all the quirks that come along with her disability, Mieke doesn't really have physical quirks.

Skills, attributes, resources
7. What did your character always want to be? (How did they go about getting this job/position/ability/image? Did they succeed?)
Of course, when she was little, Mieke dreamed of being everything from a doctor, to an astronaut to a deep sea diver. But, as she grew up and came to grip with her disability, Mieke knew very well she couldn't be “anything” she wanted. Growing up around music and musicians, through her mother, Mieke developed a passion and a love for music. Discovering piano at a very early age, Mieke found her calling. For the past 7 years now, she has been distinguishing herself on the jazz scene, and has created quite a buzz not only amongst jazz aficionados, but on the music scene in general.

8. Where and how did your character learn their Active and Knowledge Skills?
Mieke learned her skills through a mixture of private schools, tutelage and her parents.

9. Where and how did your character get their major equipment and ‘ware?
Throughout the years, Mieke has found herself under the knife of a surgeon quite a few times, in an attempt to improve her quality of life, courtesy of Royal Dutch, and now Regulus Joint Industries.

10.Where and in what kind of place does your character currently live?
Mieke favors loft style apartment with no decorations what so ever, very little furniture and always a piano. She always tries to get a balcony, mainly because she enjoys listening to the sounds of the city. She has flats in London, Paris (close to her mother's house), Berlin, Amsterdam and Tokyo. Since she tends to travel quite a bit, both to play at various venues and for Regulus related business, Mieke hotels that are recognized for their discretion rather than luxury and opulence.

12. Who are your character’s enemies? (How did they become your character’s enemies?)


13. For Awakened characters, how did your character learn their magic? For non-Awakened characters, how does your character feel about magic?


Personality
14. What are your character’s personality quirks?
Mieke is a very kind, soft and warm person. Calm and collected, she is a bit naive and idealistic. She is always polite, and proper, no matter the situation or person she's with.

15. What are your character’s likes and dislikes?
Mieke lives for music, particularly jazz. She also greatly affectionate animals, most particularly dogs. She has a great dislike toward violence and any form of aggressive behavior in general.

16. What is your character’s moral code?
Mieke always does her best to be polite and proper, in any given situation. She tries to be nice to everyone she meets, and will generally treat people with patience and respect, going by what her mom used to say: treat others like you would like to be treated. All in all, Mieke always does her best to be a good person.

17. Does your character have personal beliefs?
That music is the truest form of expression.
That it is impossible for someone NOT to like ANY jazz.

18. What are your character’s personal motivations?
Revenge for her father's death and mother's condition, Retaking the United Netherlands from the clutch of S-K, Helping the Dutch people

[ Spoiler ]

Vince was a shadowrunner who fell on hard times. He owed a debt to a particularly bloodthirsty street gang. Vince came to Tris, who saw an opportunity to gain the services of a technomancer. He had Aisha eliminate the gang for him, and offered Vince a permanent job as his chief of matrix security. Of course, with the cost of room, board, and other amenities, Vince soon saw that the job's pay only met the cost. Still, working for Tris was better than the alternative, and Vince soon grew accustomed to the advantages of working for a nobleman.

3-Aurora "Orchid" Troyes: 24 year old dryad woman. Tris' personal valet, and his mage apprentice.

[ Spoiler ]

Aurora was a promising magician looking for a mentor. She begged Tris to take her under his wing. He agreed, so long as she swore an oath of fealty to him. She acquiesced, and slavishly serves him for the promise of more power.

Encounter with Spined Drakes gang: Bunch of rolls for Sprogget.

With tacnet currently up, many of the already posted rolls should get a couple of extra dice for the pool.  With tacsoft rating 2, 5 team members, the bonus maxes at 2 dice.
UW126 lists a bunch of tests where the bonus applies, including close combat, dodge, firearms, infiltration, maneuvering, perception.

Physical Initiative: Rea(4) + Int(4) (8d6.hits(5)+8=[5,1,3,6,3,1,1,6,8]=4) "+8" did not work the way I expect, so really 1 IP 3+8=11
(with Snuff bonus: Is that still active?  Right at the limit for the effective time.
currently rigging the DR in full VR so
Matrix Initiative: Response(5) + Int(4) (9d6.hits(5)=[3,5,2,5,2,1,5,1,6]=4) 3 IP 4+9=13

Full VR, 3 IP, only 1 needed to control the monocycle.  Use others to hunt for more targets, until have more information.  'Normal' perception on the sensors, plus specific for the radio signal scanner to spot wireless sources associated with people, weapons, other 'mobile' equipment.  All except the commlinks very short range (3 or 40 meters typical, SR4A222).  Hidden commlinks still detectable as a signal source, although can not hack them until located as a matrix node.
Locate enemy wireless sources; Radio Signal Scanner(6): Data Search(2)+Sniffer(6)+Analytical Mind(2)+VR(2) (12d6.hits(5)=5)
12d6.hits(5) → [2,5,2,5,1,1,5,3,3,5,3,5] = (5)
If getting anything, can do some more rolls [descending pool?]

If get clear targets, Sprogget will try some ramming SR4A169, probably hitting in the 21-60 meters/turn range, though could get higher if get into open area. Monocycle is the size (width at least) of a motorcycle, so should be possible to take it through a doorway. Or ram a door to open it for others.

Not seeing or hearing much for the first perception, but just look at that second visual perception!!

Edit: Added spoiler tags around major bunch of rolls

@Virtual Scream/All
IC posts up.

Aria/Gossamer - 2 boxes of icon damage. Safely in Argent's link. Aria, I'd like to move Gossamer along to at least a point where there is more information about the scream online. Also, just how much would ingame Aria want to get her hands on a possible emergent AI. I'm thinking 'a lot'. And can you refresh my memory about Argent's capabilities (I think that despite some tech, she is also a mage)? Aria to post.

Mister J/Cipher - Bagged, tagged and brainscanned. Currently on minus lots of dice due to cocktail of drugs being pumped into him. Mister J to post.

ChromeZephyr/Alex Bianchi - Just arrived at goon central. ChromeZephyr to post.

Slacker/Dubstep, Phlapjack77/Dante, kahrig/Cat - Slacker and Phlapjack have hijacked Jenny Ho to keep the scene moving. Good job guys. Waiting for Cat to arrive. kahrig to post.

MachineGhost/Sprogget - Hunter sprite out hunting. GM to post

Uller - Lurking outside Slicer's possible hiding place. Sent a message to see if Big Peat is still with us. MIA.

@Virtual Scream / NSEDM
Post up for Cat's meeting with Darkhorse. I progressed it a little into his house as I presumed that's where she would end up and want to catch up with the others in the noodle brothel, hope you don't mind.

Hey, with a bit of luck, I'll get four more posts in before Spring gets killinated and I've got the Karma for him to spontaneously develop Mystic Armor. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

@E:CoP,

JxJxA and Mister Juan, I've linked your character sheets to post 2. Feel free to post an intro post for your characters around August '72. If you want to be at the NeoNet party that's great, if not let me know what you are up to and I'll weave you in to the plot (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

EDIT: Although I have posts for everyone else to write first so I'll get you going as soon as I can, promise!
