Recruiting : 2064 Options

[Sandoval Smith]

I didn't really think about ruthenium. The nuyen and essence costs kind of put me off. However, looking at it, that's a pretty good idea. I'm going to have to mess with cyber a little but I like where this is going.

Also, we now might see amusing situations like this.

Runner A: "Aw man, the run's fragged! We gotta get outta here!"
Runner B: "How can you tell?"
Runner A: "Jack just took off all his clothes and is pretending to be the wall."

Sphynx, query: You said that there really isn't going to be any role for a rigger in this campaign. Is there any reasons for any of the characters to have a car at all? I now have about 100k extra, with which I could get a decently modded Americar. However, if there isn't going to be any need for characters to drive themselves anywhere, I'll put that into more skillsofts instead.

I would just go ahead and post a character guys ... the sooner the better. What have you got to lose?

[HeySparky]

I have some pretty significant questions that need answering from Sphynx. (PM'd to you, Sphynx).

[Sphynx]

I'll consider any character, and am ok with the ideas Sparky sent to me, but no promises at all. It would have to be one heck of a character to make it in now.

Sphynx

[HeySparky]

Well, she's cool. What sorts of things would put her over the top? :)

*fishes for hope*

[Fortune]

I'd like to put a word in for Morgannah.I don't think she has posted her character yet, but she's been very busy away from home doing the holiday thing, and I know she was excited about the game, and has put quite a bit of effort into chargen.

[Tarantula]

Ehhhhh, considering I still have ¥130,000 left to spend on him, (riggers take forever I swear) and Sphynx has said that it needs to be exceptional to make it in... I am getting discouraged from even finished my character to submit it, simply because why spend that effort just to get turned out.

[HeySparky]

Come on Tarantula! I needs me my handy drones!

[Morgannah]

<edit: scractch that. Good luck guys!>

Well, since everyone said I should post him anyway... heres Sleel, atm.

I'd suggest dropping some nuyen on a couple of Renraku spider drones. Good for covert infiltrations, small, and 12k :nuyen: a pop.

[Tarantula]

Theres a good chance I'll end up doing a few custom micro drones instead, but with the same general goal in mind.

[Sphynx]

Well, I had expected a couple of the not-yet-accepted to work a bit on their chars, but guess they felt they wouldn't make it, and I'd counted on about 8 players and have 6. If I don't hear from any of the others who had already posted stats within 24 hours, I'll accept Chance, ES_Sparky, Tarantula, and Morgannah as possibles (assuming ES_Sparky and Chance post their stats by that time).

Sphynx

[HeySparky]

Working furiously... chargen is a long process for me. I think you'll be pleased with what Tarantula, Morgannah and I are cooking up. :)

[Morgannah]

:grinbig:

[Tarantula]

[Fortune]

One assumes that now that the forum is back online Sphynx will comment.

Happy New Year.

[Tarantula]

[HeySparky]

Still here, still interested, still working on my character.

[Sphynx]

Tarantula, my thoughts currently:

A vehicle rigger won't fit well in the game scenario I have planned (picture Atzlan jungles, that's a hint, and why I have discouraged having Deckers ;)). So, my recommendation is save money/skill levels and drop all the car stuffs (or you'll be greatly disappointed in-game since it'll feel like a waste of points and cash). I'd go with a more DroneRigger. Later in-game you might pick up the 3 vehicles (and some car skills if you so choose), but for now, I think a relative "army" of small drones (and by small, I mean micro and mini, not small) would make you as a player happier. Something else to think about, how to "recharge/refuel" whatever you bring with you in an extremely urban environment. Solar might be worth alot more than in normal settings. :)

Sphynx

[Sphynx]

New Years (that's only hours away), if characters aren't posted, they don't get in. I need at LEAST a week to go over, work with, and create stories before we get started. If you don't have it ready by then, I can't consider the character at all.

Sphynx

[Gremish]

Sphynx plz check out my updated char on the other topic see if u like it better thx.

Karl Clark, Decker. A friend from school, Ana and Karl made nighttime runs on campus, breaking into campus facilities to set up elaborate pranks and cause general mischief. Karl is a year from graduating… still. He’s a perennial student. Ana has him keeping an ear to the ground for news of her uncle.

Dr. Cook, Street Doc/Shadow Shrink, specializes in post-traumatic stress counseling and rehabilitation. He travels from town to town in an inconspicuous, but ridiculously well-appointed, RV. This is the doctor that counseled Ana after the explosion and performed most of Ana’s rehabilitative surgeries.



Background:

Running in the shadows is a family business. At a young age Ana and her older brother Andy were sent to live with their 'more settled' Uncle Frank. Frank moved them around a lot. It was in Ana’s early teens that the family, her brother and uncle anyway, moved to central Texas. Steeped in the shadows, an eager to please kid, Ana couldn’t wait to start doing runs with her uncle and older brother.

Without the knowledge or consent of her uncle, Ana tagged along on a couple of ‘easy’ jobs with her brother. One of them nearly got them both killed – a simple courier gig that went horribly wrong when the convoy trapsed over a corner of Azzie controlled territory. Andy barely got Ana back to safety in time to save her life, and not soon enough to save her arms. An explosion during the attack had blown them both clean off. Her brother is still wracked with guilt over the incident.

Uncle Frank spared no expense rehabilitating his niece with the best cyber- and psychotherapy nuyen could buy - Dr. Cook. She still finds herself terrified of explosives, even simple fireworks - and explosions, explosions can render her a mute, terrified and useless bundle of nerves – but she enjoys tinkering with her heavily modified cyberarms. And she really enjoys what her gear allows her to do – sneak, sabotage and scout.

Bankrolled by questionable funds, Ana took a break from the biz, to enroll at Texas A&M&M. She studied half a dozen subjects from Architecture to Gymnastics, and Chemistry to Engineering. She threw herself into her studies and school, though she never graduated or really even came close to following a degree plan.

When Andy came to her with the news that he had tracked down one of their siblings, she was really excited... they were not prepared for that sibling to be Ana’s identical twin. The three had a tearful reunion in Liana’s hometown. And now all those vague memories of Ana’s imaginary ‘mirror friend’ make so much more sense.

Uncle Frank sent a message to Andy and Ana (really Leola Faustine Addorlorata Fichetti) telling them to stay in Denver, that he’d join them there soon. He never showed up. That was over a year ago. Ana has done some work with a tight-knit group that Liana has been running with. They’re a polished and dangerous team and Ana respects them a lot and realizes that these folks are the real deal… not two-bit smugglers or thieves.
