Dragon Group: Dumpshocked Posts: 4,258 Joined: 9-March 10 From: The Citadel Member No.: 18,267	In line with my (as yet unfinished) Archive of Adepts I thought I'd start a collection of matrix types to slake my need for character creation and to hopefully get some helpful criticism back to sort out some of the more obvious mistakes / omissions / etc... In addition if anyone has some really good matrix builds they'd like to share then that would be great! Check out UmaroIV's thread on archetypes for some killer builds (and I use that word advisedly)! <<here>> Some Notes: They aren't optimised (hence posting them here for comment) and this is a work in progress. I am trying to avoid one trick ponies, aiming for one skill at 14D+ and a couple of others rolling 11-12D. These aren't min/maxed because that's something I'm bad at! Standard 400BP creation, all books and basically RAW I've also used the Chax2 contact BPs houserule for these. Some are being played pbp on Dumpshock as PCs or NPCs but karma and gear post character creation will be red Characters Shrike [AI F - eGhost of Mother] Kit [Human F - Former Deepwatch rigger/dronomancer] Prospero[Human M - Full Immersion Hacker, former Spider] Summer [Human F - Matrix Oracle] Jazz [Human F - TM Enforcer] This post has been edited by Aria: Nov 2 2011, 02:54 PM

I was forged in the Stillwater UV node on the evening of the 22nd August 2070 in a welter of blood, pain and a digital scream that they tell me rocked the node in which I my memories and personalities were locked together in this form. My birthing pangs block my efforts to recall why... I am an AI, an eGhost, a phantom in the machine...the collected experiences of a once-metahuman, except that I can’t really remember more than fragments of my past. Aria knows who and what I was but for reasons of her own she won’t tell me...to protect me but more likely to protect those I once knew. My past is a secret, even from myself. She says I must leave the past and revel in my new existence as a digital goddess...I do not feel like a goddess, more of a demon...I was human once but mercenaries took it away from me, and more that I don’t even remember to miss… I was created in the Stillwater central node where presumably my consciousness was when my meat body died. Why I was here or why I died...someone knows... Aria let slip that the mercs that were directly responsible were attacking the system and I unleashed my fury on them until they pulled me away. Nothing was served at the time by attacking them, and it disrupted Operator’s plans (dead now with nothing to show for his efforts), but it took a concerted effort to drag myself away from my revenge. Since that time I have tried to piece together the truth about my life, obfuscated in parts by Aria’s efforts, I have nevertheless discovered moments. I gather that unlike some I was crafted in part by the node in which I was born...my code manipulated to encourage my consciousness. That still sounds strange to me, to think that I am a body of machine code...but then again aren’t we all? Biological or electrical, perhaps it makes no real difference. The people here at Stillwater have been experimenting with consciousness, digital and otherwise, and I am a lucky product of their works. They have crafted me a body so that I am not entirely isolated from the flesh world and without it I think I may not have stayed sane. I was once a person, not an operating system, and I cannot experience the ‘trix as other digital entities might. I owe them my new life and I am in debt to them for what they have done since to integrate me back into the world. I have spent many hours browsing the matrix to absorb all I can about the world outside and to establish myself as a shadowrunner, to pay them back but also because if the truth is out there I will find my answers in the shadows. GM Info [ Spoiler ] My Emerging Conflict game details some of the events leading up to her birth: Shrike was formed in the UV node when her meat body was destroyed whilst she was inside She was formally a shadowrunner called ‘Mother’ who ran for the Balefire group as their rigger and C&C overwatch Deep Watch mercs (acting on mysterious orders) were responsible for the assassination and the destruction of the original Balefire team She has left behind a daughter, Silk, who doesn’t know that her mother has survived Aria (elven technomancer) knows the truth but so far has not revealed it to either of them for her own reasons...
