[Sphynx]

If someone would like to post my character, I'll send them the html file. Maybe get our own webpage going with the different members of the hopeful-team. :)

Alright, full story still in work, but I will post a sneak peak for you guys.

Desmond Brice is an elven mage, hermetic.
He graduated at UTT and belongs to one of the more important families in the Tir. His main motivation to get into Bounty Hunting (be it metahumans or critters) is getting a thrill and extending his horizon. At least that's what he will tell you when you ask.
In fact he grew tired of politic games and needs to get out of the shooting line of some friends he made in his home country.
I think he (and his name) could make a good front for a company of bounty hunters (as I'd prefer to form one of our own instead of getting hired by an existing one). He lacks local contacs however (except a lawyer and one other person)

[HMHVV Hunter]

My character, named Helios, is a vampire hunter with a vengeful streak against the bloodsuckers a mile wide. He lived a peaceful urban life until he was 18, when a vampire broke into his home and killed his family. Giving way to a killer rage, Helios grabbed a kitchen knife and incapacitated, meticulously tortured, and eventually killed the vampire. Since then, he's dedicated himself to the utter annihilation of all of the HMHVV-infected - vampires, banshees, wendigos, etc. He doesn't limit himself to contract slayings either; he's been known to go to town on a haven of ghouls just to get rid of them, and he even does pro bono work for those who don't have the money to get rid of the monster haunting them.

Helios is a caucasian male that stands about 6.5 feet tall, with black hair and brown eyes that seem to rage with an inner fury in battle. His clothes are often all black. He also carries three types of special bullets to help him take down the various Infected he meets. He often seems driven, even psychotic, to those he meets. He has an extremely morbid and dark sense of humor.

Mmk, I'm better. I'm gonna do some grooming (Hey, down for two days and you expect me to be able to stand up straight? Ha! Anyway) then head to the bank and make a deposit, grab some grub, then pound out Uncle Charlie. I'll list the specifics when I get him done. BG is mostly done, but need some fleshing out. After that, I'll have him down for Ecc and the major BG points out for you guys.

I can host the HTML if you need me to. Granted, only 30k upload (meaning you guys will download it at a sloth's pace), but if there aren't too many images, it won't matter.

Just so you know, I'm going to be counting a crowbar as similar to a steel pipe. ((Str + 2)M Stun, Clubs)

If you think it should be different, let me know.

[Bastard]

My bad Big E---thought we tacked on money as well as the 100 Karma... :( Need to go back to 1st grade and learn to read.

Correction: Crowbar is +1, as lead pipe is only +1 (according to NSRCG, heh).

Too bad Big D's Temper rounds are out of availability for chargen. I could have a blast (no pun intended) with those. :evil:

[Tanka]

It's away!

ecclesiastes76 (at) yahoo (dot) com, correct?

If not, then some other random Joe got my BG and sheet. :P

Since you've all probably heard of Uncle Charlie, might as well put the whole BG. You guys can do variations as you see fit for how your character knows his story. He tells it different every time anyway. :P

Background

“Charlie! Get your hoop back inside right now! It's time for dinner!”

A young boy came barreling through the forest with a young dog chasing after him.

Two days later he came home, wondering why his mom hadn't yelled for him. He found a Barghest taking its last round from his parents' now dead bodies. Charlie ran straight for the tool shed and grabbed the biggest crowbar he could lift. In a surge of adrenaline, he managed to surprise it and put the crowbar through its spinal column. It flailed in one final pre-death maneuver, slashing Charlie's cheek. It would be the first of many scars received from a critter fight.

Fast forward thirty-five years. Charlie still has that same old crowbar and uses it against every bounty he comes across. Nowadays, everybody calls him “Uncle Charlie.” He's always got a story to tell people (overblown, of course) when they ask him. If he were fat and didn't have all those scars, you might mistake him for Ol' Saint Nick. Well, that and he's missing his left eye, lost to a Piasama about ten years ago.

Over the years, he's grown pretty popular amongst the other bounty hunters. Known to do the job properly and efficiently, he has plenty of high marks. His favorite technique is to injure it from afar and close in for the kill (hey, he's old, not stupid) with his crowbar.

Every so often, a magically-active person will tell him he's an adept, but he just laughs and tells them: “I'm just an old man that never got a 'real job,' but if it makes you feel better about yourself, then you go on and believe it, son.”

Little does he know, he is an adept (and an initiate to boot). He first manifested on the day his parents died. That adrenaline surge was his first power coming to life.

[Ecclesiastes]

How completely original! :eek:

[Tanka]

Eh?

That could be taken as sarcasm, but the emoticon kind of makes it not so. But, then again, it kind of does.

I must just be tired. Or something.

Yeah. Cheese. Except I can't eat that. Dammit.

[Ecclesiastes]

Ak. That was ment to go in the Windy City game about your Elf Face B&E character. D'oh!

[Whizbang]

Background sent. Almost done with the char sheet.

Darien Starr doesn't talk much about his past. What little that can be gleamed is that he was a special ops decker for Saeder-Krupp until he had a run in with some hellhounds. As he seems no worse the wear for the encounter, aside for less than obvious cybernetics, his reasons for leaving the corp he keeps to himself. He also keeps to himself the time in between, which was spent as a shadowrunner. He doesn't have a particular grudge against paranormal creatures...in fact he has an extreme fear of hellhounds. Instead, he works with the group to enable him to practice his skills in a technically more legal setting.

Tanka, UC looks awesome.

Well the good news is that I will be working till ten tonight, so I should be able to finish off my character for the game.

Ahh I love the smell of money in the morning. OT is like free money.

[Tanka]

Crowbars and Shotguns. Now is that old guy or what? :grinbig:

Oh, 'grats on the OT. Gotta love it.

[Shadow]

I have narrowed some more down on my girl. She will take bounties on Para's as long as she considers them 'wild animals that are a threat to society' end quote. No killing Sasquatches or Ghoul comunitoes that are benine.

Vampires... well the door is still open for that, she probably wouldn't want to go after them for the same reason no one does... the posibility of being infected.

Humans, no problems. 10 years on the force taught her to tract and find people like it's breathing.

She also has a talent for langiages, she knows a half dozen easy and speaks most of them fluently.

Tiny BIO and History Background has been sent

[HMHVV Hunter]

Ecc, did you get my stuff in the e-mail yet? Just wondering.

[HeySparky]

A question - Can we start with Ally Spirits?

[Shadow]

Sahara is done, I just need to run the BG by Mcq so that he can mesh his with her, then I will send her to you Ecey.
