Mr. GM man, I need approval for using a Hughes WK-2, which has an Availability of 13, for my rigger character. There isn't another large helicopter with a lower availability.
Are vehicle customizations allowed, spending the normal amounts for the upgrades? |

You can get permits, though I don't know the rules for them, so I'm not gunna worry about it too much really. You guys will not be Shadowrunners however, you are a legal team, so thats why I'm giving you more access to gear, but not exactly milspec. You have about the same access as a Sec Guard.
Initiation is fine with the extra 100 karma. You can be in a group, but make it up and a background for it. |

Dec 2063, that way when SOTA 2064 comes out we can move the month over and start using stuff from that book too. |

Go for it, just give me a link on your character sheet to the item in question. Just remember... this means the bad guys can use them too. ;) |

Gear only. Attributes and Skills are maxed at 6, but can be raised with the added karma. |

Sure thing. I'm taking as many submissions as I get until next friday, then I'll deside who makes the cut. Important Note: The better your background, the more likely that you'll get in. Also, don't just give me background, but let me know the characters personality, ethics, etc. Keep in mind you guys aren't criminals, so a little higher up on the ethics food chain would be nice. You may even have a family at home (keep in mind that if you take them as a dependant, the more points you take the in the flaw, the more likely it is I'll screw with them). I don't just want stats, I want living, breathing, full detailed characters. Another note: It also doesn't hurt if your name is Shadow and therefore get into any game I run cause you are cool like that. ;) |

Go for it. If you have the skills and gear (facilities) I'll even let you custom design your own bird. Keep in mind that I'm fine with you including facilities as part of a lifestyle. Download TSS 19 and look at the Living on the Edge section. There is a sample Mechanic's Shop lifestyle and rules for adding a facilities as part of the monthly rent. Edit: Another note about TSS-19. If anyone wants to live outside of Seattle in the forest area, feel free to use the Rural Lifestyle rules. I totally dig them and have made a couple characters that use them. There are also rules out there someplace for animal training, but I can't find them at the moment, as soon as I do, I'll post them and you can feel free to use them if you want to. |

Another note on my last post. If you guys have a few things that are going to go outside of the availibility guidelines, go ahead and run it by me. Chances are that I'll let you have it as long as it isn't too over the top.

Messengers? I'm on AIM a lot, but my connection at work is a little flaky. I'll be online as much as I can be today.

Ok, I don't remember the rules for permits, but do we absolutely need them? I mean my character hunts vampires, which some nations (including the UCAS) still protect under the law, so he's got to be somewhat outside society. Can I just forgo the permits for him?

Yeah. I'm not even worried about permits really. I'll just say you guys are licenced bounty hunters and that gives you certain legal rights. Its gunna be loose so I can make stuff up as I go, cause thats the way I like to do things. ;)

One more thing I wanted to add for you guys. Keep in mind that you are Bounty Hunters and that means you'd have to be able to handle yourselves in combat. Basicly, if you want to do a Decker or a Rigger, you need to also have some skill outside of Decking and Rigging. You get the idea.
Also, you'll all likely want some sort of Wilderness Survival skills, at least a few points. You aren't going to be doing just city stuff, but paranormal hunting in the wilderness sometimes. |

If you have a firearms facility, you can make whatever you want. Shop can only do standard mods.

An Arms Dealer (or even Talismonger) would be better, but I guess an Armorer could work, though as far as I know, they only deal with armor. Well, yeah, they only do armor, so it wouldn't work, would it... Pick up an Arms Dealer or something. Or even better, get a shop and make your own. ;)

Alrighty... I have the bio (mostly) done and will be fleshing him out more later on today. After that comes the build. He'll most likely be done Tuesday (as I'm gone this weekend for Renaissance Festival).
