Force 1 for it is pretty much good enough. Another thing u might wanna look into is sustaining foci for the fact that while the imp ref is awsome it sux when u get +2 TN from sustainging it urself =P Another thought is yes the imp 1 ref is nice cause it has a much lower drain its really not that much of a pain just to go for Imp Ref 3 considering you going to have to cast this before combat or at the first round to get it up and running anyway =) Grem

Sorry it's so big, don't know how to do one of those spoiler boxes. D-Trip is a Face Archetype i guess, but more like a ganger that 'grew up' to be a bouncer. And secondly the layout of the character may look strange, cause i pretty much just cut and pasted from NSRCG. I've tried cleaning it up and put spacings between the skill and its rating, but no go.

It was not a bad idea meeting before the meat with the Johnson to get and know the rest of the team. There is one thing that has been bothering you about the arrangement thou. Why so late in the day? You’ll only have about 1hr to get to know the group if they all show up on time. Most of the members of the group show up on time sept for one. He shows up with about 30minets to spare before you’ll need to head out for the meat. The sun was still up when most of you got hear. Some time after the sun goes down you notice a White and Chrome “VW Electro Car” pull up into the parking lot of the Stuffer shack and a REALY tall guy all in white steps out of the car. Your amazed how such a tall guy could fit in such a small car? From the back you notice Long White, Platnum Blond strait hair falling down to the guys shoulder blades. As he turns around to enter the Stuffer Shack you get to see his Face. His Trollish Features are unmistakable, tusked teeth and a pair of small horns poke out of his hair. Over all a surprisingly un-ugly troll. When he enters the stuffer shack he pauses momentarily at the door, and this thoughtful look crosses his face. For a moment you feel as though he is looking far off into space. Then his attention returns. He Orders a Drink, walks up and introduces him self “How are you all doing? I’m Mr. White” His speech has a strong accent on it that you have difficulty placing. He offers his skinny troll sized hand for a handshake, and sits down to get to know the rest of the group. After about 15minets you have gotten the impression that he is a bit of a night Owl, and his expertise is related to magic.

I suppose I could use the left over force point to get the increase flexes +3ini then, as well.

Does anyone have an idea for a street name that'd fit him? I'm believe that street names are something you get, not something you come up with yourself.

So when it comes to a street name for Chauncy, I thought about how he gives the badges the slip. You were saying as soon as the heat losses sight of his van he would slow down to traffic speed and switch plates. With a patent manoeuvre like that we could call him, Slo-Mo, as in Slow Motion. Just a suggestion.

QUOTE

D-trip has heard of Chauncy through his BTL circles. The man has a chip habit, a very strange chip habit. He doesn't go for beetles, but the chips he uses are odd enough that he has to go through unusual suppliers to get them. His preferred chips involve crowds, masses of people walking to and fro, an endless babble of the mass of people moving completly oblivious to his existence. His second favorite are simsense renditions of the tranmissions of sattelites, and especially the comet probes, moving through darkness and silence. He sometimes is referred to as that 'anti-BTL scrag.'

They ARE strange loops Sandoval. Perhaps D-Trip could help Chauncy find those weird ass recordings. I can see D-Trip late at night, going to one of Chauncys garages to drop of a new recording. Then start a conversation about the ?virtues? of BTLs, only to be shot down in flames by Chauncys mechanical like intellect.

I think D-Trip would be discarding the issue of BTLs when it comes to Papa Deaux. Maybe Papa Deaux has convinced the troll that he can provide messages from D-trips dead friends. Obviously D-Trip takes a shine to the style of the New Orleans Shaman, and will share a drink till Papa Deaux has had too much for social exchanges.

When it comes to Mr. White, i find it hard for D-Trip to have become acquainted with him. Being a shaman and an albino, i presume Mr White would not look to kindly on D-trips abuse of his body. More likely that Mr. White would know D-Trips mother in some way, i'm not sure how.

I hope i'm not taking too many creative liberties by waxing on about the PCs. If some-one doesn't like the way my character is related to theirs, just post something to correct what i have nebulised. I was going to try and type more background, but i don't know much about the other characters.

Running Target Group: Members Posts: 1,144 Joined: 22-September 04 Member No.: 6,690	That could be how they meet. D-Trip is asked to make a delivery of some chips. It's a little odd because these chips aren't hot, or illegal, just an odd little custom order. When he delivers them, he realizes this must be the 'anti-BTL scrag1' that he's heard about. The thing about his chips is that they are closer to sensory deprivation than overload. The next time D-trip makes a delivery, he stops long enough to ask Chauncy 'what's up with that? Slot a beetle and you can party harder than real life will let you.' Chauny will tersly explain that he enjoys the lack of sensation, the almost non existance of being of unseen observer, just watching everything else happen. It's a litte much for the troll to wrap his mind around, but the dwarf is a decent enough fragger, and more interesting than some of the chip heads that D-trip deals with. edit I realized I'd made some mistakes with his gear, so here is the corrected character sheet (essence down to .01! yeah!): [ Spoiler ] Dwarf Bod: 4(5) Qui: 6 Str: 2(4) Cha: 3 Int: 5 Wil: 4 Ess:.01 Bio: .9 Mag: 0 Rea: 5(6) Ini: 1 (3 when rigging) Combat Pool: 8 Control Pool 9 Armor - Ballistic: 8 Impact: 5 Edges: Sense of Direction 1 Human Looking 1 Good Reputation 2 Flaws: Phobia (Uncommon / Severe) Bug Spirits -4 Lifestyle: Low: Royal Oak. A converted, seperate garage, small, but snug. He rents it from the old orc lady who lives in the house on the same property. It allows him to stay close to his cars, and tinker on them as he feels like it. Low: Rivertown. His backup doss, where he stays when he's 'working.' A small, bare apartment with street parking. Low: Oakland. Another converted garage, this one in a not so nice neighborhood. He stays on good terms with the local gangs, patching up their bikes, or replacing bullet riddled windshields when they need it. This is where he keeps his actual working car shop. Squatter: Auburn Blight. It's got four walls, a roof, enough room for the van, and may or may not have devil rats (depends on the weather, and if anyone has curled up and died in there recently).

Perhaps that's why they got along so well together. They have kept in minimal contact, mostly so that Chauncy can keep abreast of developments at Ares, in case any other positions he could take arise. Telerand has done one great favor for him, juggling records when few of the Bulldog stepwagons Ares used were decomissioned. A clerical 'error' swapped a security edition in place of a standard, allowing to take one of his beloved vans with him into civilian life. Chauncy is still waiting for the day that Telerand asks for the return favor. Hard Luck Louis [troll] (1): It's Hard Luck to be someone Louis doesn't like... He's a liuetenant in one of the larger gangs roaming the borders of the Auburn Blight, and he lead the group that 'welcomed' Chauncy to the neighborhood when he moved in. After Chicago, a handful of gangers on beat up bikes didn't faze him the slightest, but he showed them respect, paid the protection money, and when one Louis' bike blew it's fuel line when raced the engine, Chauncy didn't laugh, or smirk, but calmly fixed it. Chicago also taught him that you take what allies you can get. He helps the gang out when they need minor repair work on their rides, and they respect him and his doss, and make sure others do too. Louis got a boost of recognition for bringing such a useful resource to the gang, and shows some fondness for the useful, if strange, dwarf rigger. Kuruma Nakagawa [ork] (2): Kuruma is probably one of the best street mechanics in Detroit, and one of the only people out there who would call Chauncy a friend. The fact of the matter is, since whenever they're together all they talk about is cars, Kuruma has never gotten around to noticing that there's anything wrong with the dwarf. He runs a legit car repair, and towing business by day,getting most of his work from tourists who have a breakdown while in Windsor. His night time dealings revovle around the chop shop deep he's got within the bowels of his autoyard. He can modify anything that moves, and a few things that can't. He'll even do a little weapon work, but nothing too illegal or heavy. He likes Windsor, and he doesn't want to have to worry about suddenly relocating elsewhere.

When he turned 18 he made an application to the Australian Defence Force for an officer's position, and was shipped off to Duntroon Military Academy where he was taught the skills to lead men. His dedication quickly saw him rise to the rank of Captain and probably would have sent him even higher, were it not for the fact that he met Kim Nelson, his future wife. They fell in love almost at first sight, but circumstances were forcing Kim to move back to her hometown, Seattle. Following his heart, Frank resigned his commission to the Australian Army and left Australia to be with her, saying goodbye to family and friends. They married in Seattle only a month later, but within the next two years the marriage hit the skids. Emotions strained, Kim and Frank soon divorced, cutting their losses while they still held a modicum of respect for each other. Emotionally dead, Frank couldn't concentrate on his day to day work, and he was soon unemployed and on the streets, unable or unwilling to contact his family and find a way home. Luckily for him, Frank was given a second chance by the fates. One day he was minding his own business, holing out in an alleyway, when a couple of toughs came around the corner, intent on attacking and raping a defenceless elf woman. Hidden as they came in, the men, one human and one ork were unaware of Frank's presence, but they soon cottoned on when he came out of the shadows with a heavy iron bar and broke the ork's collar bone. The other rapist was soon brought down with a broken skull. As it turned out, the woman Frank saved happened to be a fixer. The two men had taken her unawares and nearly knocked her out, leaving her with a concussion and unable to defend herself. Gracious for the rescue, the fixer, Rachel, offered Frank a place to stay until he was on his feet again. He accepted the offer. Soon enough, Frank’s past military career came out into the light, and Rachel offered to fix him up with a shadowrun, suggesting that someone with military training was an asset in the shadows. He took the offer, starting off with a few basic runs until he had the grasp of it. A year later, Frank, now referred to by his team mates as ‘Bones’, had survived the shadows, having become an accomplished runner. Still his fixer, Rachel had come across an interesting employment opportunity in Russia. The Russian military were interested in hiring seasoned infiltration personnel for positions in a covert operations unit. Enticed by the training, regular pay, possibility of access to military grade weapons and cyberware, in addition to a return to the military lifestyle, Bones contacted the Johnson and signed himself up. Three years later, training complete and missions underway, Bones’ CO, a man named Colonel Joseph Stanakov, discovered that Bones had been involved in wet-work operation, which had ended up in the death of his son, Peter Stanakov. Peter was a mover and shaker in the Seattle mob who had stepped on one too many toes. Bones soon found out that he himself was on the hit list, so he quickly made his way out of Russian territory, where he was at significantly less risk from Stanakov’s influence. Bones returned to Seattle and renamed himself Os (the Latin word for ‘bone’), finding that many of his former contacts and team-mates had in some way left the shadows, often in a paddy wagon or a hearse. With caution, Os contacted a fixer by the name of Rook and found himself a little shadow-work. Once again starting with cake walks, Os easily built a new reputation freelancing with teams. Personality: A far cry from his early days when he left Australia on a whim, Frank, or Os, has matured into a centred, experienced shadowrunner. His professional ethics are pretty bare, he has done things that he sometimes regrets, and he is willing to take on a vast range of runs, long-term or short, but he will not harm innocents unless he has absolutely no choice, and will seldom take runs that involve just that. However, at the most basic level, those in the shadows, those who are corrupt, or those who seek to harm him, Os considers fair game. Appearance: Os is 185 centimetres tall and weights 103 kilograms, and has an athletic, muscular build, but despite that, he just isn’t as young as he used to be. His keeps his hair cut short, and even has a little grey showing through. His accent, still distinctly Australian, as well as his almost unnaturally blue eyes (cybereyes), are probably the only things of his appearance and manner that set him apart from Joe Average on the street, just so long as his wires are dormant. He usually wears stylish formal clothing, his favourite being a black suit with dark crimson shirt and a black silk tie, the jacket inlaid with a dragon, although he will dress up or down depending on the occasion, usually leaving a place where he can conceal a pistol. His combat uniform for infiltration runs is full form fitting body armour, a black rapid transit jumpsuit, and an armoured vest. He will not wear this uniform unless he does not intend to interact with the general public, although he may keep it handy if he has to leave Seattle for a shadowrun.

Especialy if the rigger has a shop, sense geting a subcompact fitted for a troll to fit in to could be a bit of a hassle. Mr. White probably does not approve of the way D-Trips treats his body, but keeps that to him self. Mr. White is mostly interested in the persuit of knowledg, and prides himself on what he knows. The thing Di-Trip and Mr. White would have anything to talk about would be fastion, as Mr. White takes pride in being in fation dispit his limitation in cooler seleection. may have worked with any of the mecrs in past run.

Tray is new to the shadows, a squeaky clean corp type that apparently saw something his bosses didn't want him to see. So now, having his bank account frozen, his apartment under surveillance, and a good portion of his friends no longer speaking to him, he's taking a crash course on life in the shadows. Fortunatly for him, his college buddy, Vince, had fallen on hard times and slipped into the shadows before him. Having gone through his own period of adjustment, he's done his best to help Tray carve out a new life for himself while he evades corporate attention.

Pappa Deaux (or Da Doc, or Captain Zombie) is a half-haitian, half-cajun man from deep in the Lousiana Bayou. Needless to say anyone who has heard of the awakened bayou knows it's a pretty bad place to be from. He's rather sketchy on his past. It's known that he was a formor member of the New Orleans underworld and he's done some time in jail (in the span of years, not months) for a smuggling related charge. Not much more is easily gleamed, and it's apparent based on the fact he's in his 30's, and information on him seems to have been tampered with that he's trying to hide some of his past. He's got a solid rep as a runner though. He's stopped bullets, witnesses tend to forget about him, and he has a fair amount of control over peoples thoughts. Anybody who knows somebody, that knows somebody, would know that Deaux is a voodoo hougan who follows a loa of death. He's been known to harm (and if the rumors are true, he once killed) with only a glance in the eyes, drink like a troll, and been known to mock Johnsons even before the pay for the run is set. Adding to the package, Deaux swears as often as he says the... but hey he's got a solid rep so he must be able to get stuff done. Around other runners, Da Doc is an interesting character. When he's not sucking on a bottle of Southern Comfort (or "anything else that burns going down"), he's picking a fight with a fellow runner, cracking inappropriate jokes, or making really awkward passes at women. How could anyone not love him? Appearence-wise, Deaux dresses like the typical cliche. He tends to always wear black. Sunglasses, trench coat, and wife beater with a black armor vest under it. His arms are decorated with voodoo motifs, mostly scars (which are prominent due to him having rubbed ash and salt into them), and brands, although a few of the designs are fresh cuts and still reddish on his cinnamon colored skin. He's been known to call tattoo's "bitch art" and tends to laugh at people who show them off.

Target Group: Members Posts: 55 Joined: 21-December 04 Member No.: 6,895	Shall i take an account of our team then? Chauncy - Dwarf Rigger Extremely chromed and an eire sort of fellow. A patented get-away maneuver has given the rigger some success. D-Trip - Troll Bouncer A rookie when it comes to running the shadows. The troll has got himself ready to make a career change. Mr. White - Troll Owl Shaman An Albino from the NAN territories. In Detroit shaking off heat coming from Seattle. Os - Covert Ops Beginning his career in Australia. Os has worked the shadows in Seattle under a different name. New to Detroit, but making a name for himself. Papa Deaux - Ghede Houngan A hard living man from New Orleans who has spent some time in the Pen. In Detroit he has spent time working magic in the shadows. Tray - Conjurer Fresh from the cradle of the corporate arcology. New to the streets, Tray seems to be running from his employers. There is Mugzy with the Decker, Torrent also Bonk with a Physical Adept, Tashio with a Covert Ops and Ecc with an Otaku. Two shamans makes me feel safe, but Tziluthi is right we don't have a dedicated Samurai. I don't think it should be too much of a problem. But we still need to see how these other characters will turn out.

Often work with the street sam as follows. Whitey stuns the non-magcs, while the streat sam ventilates the magics.

I'm just not sure from waht i've read. If Tray is a Conjurer this team is slinging alot of mojo. D-Trip at his hideout, getting time away from his mother, gets a strange feeling. The troll checks behind his left shoulder for a Grand Piano sneaking up behind him. :rotate:

For those of you that have read the first page Im Bonk, and i deck things. My best friend is frank, so dont be bothered by him. Its a long story... As you walk into a bar in a ghetto of detroit called "Da Shimmiez" there is a large orc mopping up a splash of blood on the floor. He draws your attenton as you notice this seems to be the least disturbing thing about him. There is a moldy hot dog on the orcs left shoulder, held on by a piece of twine and the orc seems to be conversing with it as he mops. You hear shouts and screams coming from a far corner of the bar, and when you look over to see whats the matter, several members of some kind of gang seem to have drawn pistols on some unsuspecting drunks, commanding them to empty the contents of their pockets into outstretched palms. As people charge at you to get out of the bar, you slip past along the wall farther into Da Shimmez and watch as the orc who was mopping a second ago, is standing over the twitching bodies of the gang members. A mans shout breaks the eerie silence that has taken over the bar "Damnit Bonk! How many times have i told you, beat them AFTER they rob people, that way you get all of everyone else's money! Now get back to work, mangy scum!" And with that the orc hangs his head and mutters "... yes uncle.." and drags the bodies out through a door in the back of the bar.
