Recruiting: Into the Abyss, If you thought the barrens were bad... Options

[Slipshade]

John "Six" Creed
Pistol Sam, Some B&E, Ex-Lone Star
Background: John Creed is a broken man. He used to believe in the system and that what he was doing was right. At least until he found his partner dead next to three dead hookers, his nose dusted with coke and John's missing Ruger Thunderbolt laying on the floor. He knew it was a setup before he heard the sirens blaring from around the corner. Lone Star lost seven badges that day. John's partner and the six corrupt bastards that tried to take him down. Knowing the Lone Star state was too hot, John had to bolt. With a little help from a few remaining friends on the force and one that had jumped to Knight Errant, John found his way to Seattle. His buddy offered him a job with KE, but he just didn't have it in him anymore. He knew that even though Lone Star wasn't the top dog in Seattle, they would still be gunning for him, so he faded into the Seattle shadows, where he remains.

Merits: Ambidexterity - 8

Flaws: Compulsive moderate - Cigars
Police Record - Lone Star

[HMHVV Hunter]

Alright, I think I have a good idea for a character:

Name: Not Decided Yet (I'll come up with it later)
Concept: Escaped Super-Soldier

The character was once a member of the UCAS Army, until he was "drafted" (read: forced) by Ares into a super-soldier project in which he had a bunch of cyberware implanted to make him nothing short of a killing machine. He escaped from the facility using the cyberware given him, along with another super soldier (A level-3 contact). He's somewhat Wolverine-esque in terms of his personality - he doesn't relate too well to others, though he does have protective instincts that make him a valuable teammate. He's constantly haunted by his past (represented by the flaws "Flashbacks.") He also has the flaw "Mysterious Cyberware." He runs the shadows to live (his services - and his cyberware - are useful to many employees), but he also feels a responsibility to stop megacorporate and governmental black ops projects like what he went through, even though this puts him at constant risk for flashbacks (horrific corporate/governmental black ops projects are his Flashbacks trigger).

[Ninja Please]

"Spartan"
Real Name: David Armstrong
Former Mercenary, Heavy Weapons
Ork

Joined the CAS military at 18, ending up in the equilivant of Force Recon. He took part in disastrous raid into aztlan territory where his thunderbird was shot down. With the rest of his squadmate he managed to fight his way to the coast for extraction. While waiting for pickup was mortally wounded and crippled. What was left of the squad pulled him out. Internal military politics led to an investigation into raid, where David became symbolic of the units failure. Dishonorably discharged along with the rest of his team, David languished in an ork charity hospital for months, essentially waiting to die. His former squad and commander paid for the cyberware to fix him. The unit went mercenary, seeing action in hotspots around the world. The unit recently split up, and David ended up in Seattle and became a shadowrunner.

Heavily cybered, most comfortable with heavy weapons. Considers himself a tactical, not strategical and happy to question "how" not "why". Gets along well with teammates, leads by example not words.

Hehe, looks like your in Ninja. :)

[Method]

"Vertigo"
Real Name: Angelicia "Angel" Martinez

Infiltration Expert / Illusionist [illusion aspected mage adept] (uses a mix of magic and high tech gadgets to infiltrate secure locations).
Can also function as a Face (uses masking, disquise and quick talk)

Hispanic Human of slight, but athletic build. Vertigo has short cropped black hair, brown eyes and brown skin. She is 24 years old.

Orphaned at a young age, Angelicia grew up on the streets of a rough Hispanic neighborhood in the Redmond barrens. Young, innocent and attractive Angel was on the fast track to a life of teenage prostitution when, at the age of fourteen, she became aware of certain useful “abilities”. She could blend into a crowd, or her environment. Often it seemed that people wouldn’t notice her if she didn’t want them to. Sometime she would imagine being so quiet that she could hear her own heart beating in her chest, and if she really concentrated she could hide that sound too. It wasn’t long before Angel was subsiding on petty thievery and pick pocketing - and she was good. Her “abilities” were also useful when it came to avoiding the roving street gangs and womanizing pimps and for awhile Angel managed to stay out of trouble for the most part. Eventually she was noticed by and taken in by an elderly Cat shaman who taught her to apply her magical talents. But after her adoptive grandmother's untimely demise she turned back to a life of crime to pay the bills, this time as a devistatingly effective cat burglar and art theif. Eventually, Vertigo realized that the real money was in hitting corporate targets, and she soon turned to shadowrunning.

Feircely independant, Vertigo has learned that the only way to survive is to depend on her self. While this makes her ideal as an infiltrator, she sometimes has a tendancy to get in over her head...

(Shadow: Not a team player, but sometimes that can be fun too. :) I think I want to design her as a mage adept with a water alignment geas NOT because of the campaign setting but because of her focus on illusion spells. Let me know if thats cool.)

[edit] let me clarify: it will be fun to role play her in situations where she needs to trust a team to save her own ass...[/edit]

[Shadow]

[Slipshade]

I know we arn't supposed to make characters specifically for this game, but man wouldn't a crusty old Dwarven Crab Shaman fit nicely. :)

[Gyro the Greek S...]

If there's any doubt on my character's plays-nicely-with-others, he strives to be pure professional. It's all about the job, and the team is part of the job.

Someone asked when I was going to end the submission phase. At least two weeks from today, so you have time.

[Shadow]

Still accepting submissions :)

[Nightcrawler472]

Hi...

I know I've not posted in ages, but I was kinda worried about not failing college and so haven't really checked Dumpshock in ages..

Anyway, if you've still got space and can give me a day or so to come up with a concept I like then count me in.

I'll probably play some form of gunslinger, as I've not played in ages and it's the one form of character I'm familiar with, but I'll see what I can come up with.

[Shadow]

You have plenty of time. Put together a concept you would like to play and shoot away.

[SlowRain]

This is Silva. Take a look, let me know what you think.

[ Spoiler ]

Alan and Jessica Hart were just ordinary people, working for the security division of Renraku in Los Angeles. Like normal parents, they were delighted to have a perfectly healthy, beautiful baby girl whom they named Bethany. It didn’t take long, however, for them to realize that this was no ordinary child when, at the age of two, Bethany began speaking – not in the single, sometimes garbled words that most toddlers adopt, but in perfectly clear, complete sentences. They took it upon themselves to foster this intelligence, teaching her in the privacy of their home, and taking full advantage of the resources of a corporate couple by hiring tutors who were experts in the field of gifted children. By the age of four, when most parents are considering sending their kids to kindergarten the next year, Bethany was learning advanced math. And none were more surprised than her parents when, at the age of six, Bethany began manifesting magical powers, mostly of the physical variety.

Unfortunately, that was when tragedy struck. A few weeks after Bethany’s powers began manifesting, her parents were killed in a fire. Bethany herself was rescued by her tutor, a young man whom she only knew as Jack – but not before she saw her parents, trapped helplessly behind a wall of fire, burning to death. The memory of that sight stayed with her throughout her life. For weeks afterward, she was despondent over the loss of her parents, who had been kind and loving to her, and whom she had loved deeply. Jack, her tutor, was the man who pulled her out of her depression, explaining to her that sometimes tragedy strikes for no reason at all, and that the best way for her to deal with her parent’s death would be to make herself into someone they could be proud of. Bethany, with an intelligence that, at the age of six, was beyond most high-school seniors, realized that Jack was right.

From that point on, the corporation became her family, and Jack the brother she never had. She was given the opportunity to choose any path she wished for herself. It was, in the end, the Security division she opted for, wishing to follow in her parent’s footsteps. Jack became her instructor, not only in academics, but in security lessons, tactics, and other security knowledge. In light of her physical capabilities, Bethany also took martial arts instruction, opting for Kali because it suited her temperament – cool, but vicious and calculating. There was also combat and light weapons’ training. Bethany threw herself into her training, molding herself into someone that not only her parents could be proud of, but that she could be proud of as well. By the age of 16, Bethany was one of the best corporate bodyguards Renraku had to offer, having saved a considerable amount of lives of the more important people in the corp. It made her twice as effective because of her young age – often, most people never saw the threat until it was too late.

But, shortly after her 17th birthday, Bethany made a shocking discovery, one which would change her life forever.

It happened purely by accident – just researching for an assignment, really. Looking through the files on her client, she came across a reference to her parents and herself. As intelligent people tend to be, she was curious, and dug deeper – only to discover that her parents had been killed by the corporation itself. And that Jack, her tutor and mentor, had been the one to start the fire which killed them.
The discovery had, in one cruel stroke, brought her world crashing down, completely destroying her illusions of a near-perfect life of protecting those she thought were her benefactors and, yes, even her friends. It filled her with rage – but it was, like her, cool, vicious, and calculating. That night, she did the only thing she could do. The next day, her client was found dead, slit from groin to neck. Jack vanished completely, only to be found several weeks later, unidentifiable except for his dental records. He had been burned alive.

And Bethany vanished into the night, finding her way to Seattle, her life and mind in ruins. And then the comet came, changing her further – but instead of destroying her sanity, as it might have with some, it soothed her. Bethany had always had a particular affinity with cats, and the changes in her made her catlike. She rather liked the change – she had always known she was unique, and now she was even more so.

Having no other practical use for her talents, Bethany changed her name and began looking for work as a shadowrunner. It wasn’t until she saved a stranger’s life that she was able to find work. She was walking past a building when he came bursting out the front door, followed closely by two competent and tough-looking men. They merely laughed when they saw this small, willowy female step in their path with what seemed to be suicidal intentions. The laughter stopped when the first fell dead, Silva’s knife protruding from his throat. The other attempted to kill her, but to no avail – tough and competent they may have been, but he was no match for Silva’s grace, speed, and catlike reflexes. After he was dead, the man introduced himself as Archer, a fixer…and asked Silva if she’d like a job.


*Silva is, at first glance, not much to consider – very attractive, petite, and young, with a pretty face accentuated by shoulder length, straight brown hair, and very cool, emerald-green eyes that seem to be examining your very soul.

*A short form walks in, hardly visible under a flowing, dark green cloak and hood. A pair of hands, small and obviously feminine, bush back the hood of the cloak to reveal a young, very pretty face, with shoulder length brown hair pulled back in a ponytail, piercing, emerald green cat’s eyes, and nicely sculpted, full lips which would be quite beautiful, if they ever formed a smile. Her ears are pointed, you can see, and her skin is a creamy white. She looks around cautiously, her features betraying no emotion.

*She takes off the cloak, and under it is a small, petite form, clad in a comfortable-looking, green blouse which clings to her body, a black skirt which reaches to mid-thigh, and combat boots, the kind that the military issues to jungle troops. Trailing behind of her is a long, cat-like tail, which sways from side to side as she walks. Her body is obviously well-toned, the muscles visible, moving seamlessly under her skin, and her movements are catlike and very graceful. She carries, slung over her back like an afterthought, a katana that seems to be custom-designed to fit in with her small form, and on her hips are sheathes that completely conceal whatever weapon is in them.

[Cedric Rolfsson]

Oh I am so definitely in!

I've got a character concept, almost nailed down on the bps too.

[ Spoiler ]

Name: Ian Pike Magician Adept(Warrior)
Human, Male Bounty Hunter/Bodyguard/Private Investigator

Ian is 22 years old and has been a shadowrunner for almost 8 whole months now. Prior to that he was a Lone Star patrol officer. Yes he was one of the dreaded boys in blue.

Ian grew up a Lone Star corporate citizen. Born within the boundaries of the Confederated American States he never considered anyplace home except the corporation. His father was a cop, killed in the line of duty when Ian was 15. He was raised by his father's partner and best friend, Jim "Red" Connolly, who is a OC Detective with Lone Star Seattle.(Level 2 contact)

He entered the Academy at 17 and excelled. He had manifested his physical adept abilities at the age of 13 and knew that he had an edge as a cop. In the Academy he learned that he had more talents than just that of a physical adept and Lone Star sent him through the Combat Magics training as well.

He served as a patrol officer for four years and was recently accepted into the SWAT team program. He hadn't even finished his SWAT training regime when his life came to an end.

While not exactly handsome Ian had always had luck with the ladies. He was energetic, athletic, and had what's been described as an animal magnetism which attracted females. Full of life and youth he'd taken advantage of that and his love life kept him busy. Unfortunately he ended up in the wrong bed at the wrong time.

Just about a year before the storyline begins he got caught by SWAT team Captain Riggins trying to climb out the Captain's bedroom window while his naked and sweaty wife tried to distract him. The Captain reacted poorly, and physically and during the ensuing scuffle Ian ended up using his magic on the Captain and accidentally killed him.

The Captain had friends in high places, and the situation being what it was, Ian had been put on administrative leave while awaiting murder charges. No charges were ever formally filed, the prosecutor believing the evidence tended to show the killing to be in self defense, but Lone Star Admin terminated Ian's employment. Ian's Enemy witin Lone Star effectively "black balled" Ian from any legitimate corporate security employment, and many corporations were hesitant to hire someone who'd admittedly killed a superior officer. Lone Star even went so far as to revoke his corporate citizenship status.

Left out of the only life he knew Ian became despondent until Red got him in touch with some people and pointed him in the right direction. Now Ian gets by doing skip tracing, bounty hunting, bodyguard work, sleazy divorce investigations and low paying security work.

Primarily an adept, he uses pistols and elementals in combat and spells are used less for combat than for infiltration.

Shadow, I editted the spoiler to fill in my character concept and basic background.

[arcady]

Wanted to see if I could come up with something using the results of my generator. So here are two potentials. Two unusual characters in personality and past - hopefully outside the normal tropes.

Sometimes you just can't get out from under someone else's thumb - even after you get out. At age 6 Aziza was old by her father to one 'coyote' by the name of Kiyoshi Nishimura to pay the family's way out of Haiti and into Miami. By 7, Kiyoshi had her doing illegal 'Sensies' for the online trades. With the drugs they gave her, Aziza hit puberty early and by ten she was just too mature looking for that type of 'cinema'. From there on, she joined the ranks of Nishimura's street girls. She gained a Japanese last name and learned to hustle to stay alive. Meeting Lang was one of those unfortunate moments - maybe she did it, maybe she didn't, but in the morning Lang woke up to find the girl gone and a couple hundred thousand worth of highly valuable data missing with her.
Lang got even, it took him a year, but her tracked her and Nishimura down - and got the while crew wrapped up and sent off to Aztlan and the train of human merchandise, But Aziza got out, busting out of a rail car in Denver and making her way to the Pacific Northwest. In the end Lang had done her a favor - freeing her from under Nishimura's thumb.
Aziza only knew one trade, but she knew it well. She got herself off the streets and into the high rise apartments of the well to do. She started with Ho-Bong Walczak, a half Chinese elf who set her up and introduced her to the scene, only to break it off when she slept with his brother. Aziza never quite understood the problem, it was just business after all, and she was furious with Ho-Bong for expecting her to to submit to him alone.
Passing her old friends by, Aziza began moving through the business circuit until she made the mistake of falling for Lin-Shen. He set her up with her first batch of 'runners' - a team he himself hired to abduct the children of a rival and sell them on to the same kind of Sensie studios she'd had her start in. It was on the buying end that trouble began - the buyer was Nishimura, and he recognized her.
Lin-Shen kept her clear of Nishimura's control, but it cost her her cut and willingness to participate in the darker side of Lin_Shen's social club. Learning that his own tastes catered to the fate of his rival's children was enough to end their affair - although he is still a worthwhile business contact.
Maksimillian seemed promising at first, but he kept trying to 'rescue' her from herself, and it ended bitterly with him becoming an obstacle to her and her 'choice in life'. She would have married Vanechka, he was a doctor after all, but his family sent her own team of runners out to kill her and they had to break it off to call them off.
Of all the men in her life, Ryzard has been most promising, although who can say how will it turn out in the end. After a brief affair, he pulled back on his own with no demands other than a promise of future business for her if he should happen to find the appropriate clients. Today, they are friends of a social nature with occasional personal benefits.

Aziza is just too critical and too aware of what these men really think of her class to ever settle in. Instead she works them and everyone else; getting what she needs and moving on.
The particulars of her profession have made Aziza valuable in sensitive negotiations, she can work nearly any scene, manipulate any crowd. She is not at all above putting her skills to work for those below even her - those heartless mercenaries willing to sell not only their bodies but their souls as well.

The 'Face / Rigger':

[ Spoiler ]

Not everybody's who they seem. Coca drives an old beat up looking independent cab. Independent in the sense that she owns the cab and she holds the medallion, but dispatch provides the calls and a 20% cut. It's the 9 to 5 thing - 9pm to 5am, driving the streets of the city, you meet all sorts of interesting characters.

Other than a bit of good humored disparaging of men, Coca loves meeting them all and getting to know and be a part of their stories. While most people 'get into it' for the payoff of the need, Coca gets into it for the people and the tall tales. She doesn't take any of it anywhere near as seriously as she should.

Coca puts is the sort of person who puts people together, something of a social operator. She is also a bit of a gear-head, and maintains her own small army of little private drones through which she sometimes assists those she 'puts together'.

Notable people:
Chocolate - with nicknames like these, the two have been best friends since childhood, growing up in the same hood and knowing the same scene for most of their lives. Chocolate is just one of those people who always seems to know the score - what's really going down and who the players are. At twelve, they got matching intimate tattoos they've kept a secret ever since.

Bean - set Coca up with her Taxi medallion and her early 'drones'.
Leticia - Coca just couldn't handle not being exclusive. Leticia was too much of a party goer.
Alexis - A friendship that still has its benefits from time to time. Alexis is fairly well tied in to the things that count.

Coca's relationships with men have never managed to be all that meaningful. She would say it's just men - they might say it's her inability to truly respect them.

A year ago Coca double crossed a team whose ethics went too far for her, costing them a score but keeping anyone from getting hurt. As far as she knows, they've reached an understanding with her paying them for their time and financial losses to 'keep things cool'. They however, probably haven't added up the tally the same way she has.

[Dashifen]

1. Bard (new character)
Dwarven Decker/Face

They call me the bard. Odd, that, considering I ain't a performer and I'm mostly tone deaf. Null that, I'm all tone deaf. I guess it's ironic, or something, since my music is all data. You know those factories that are staffed by like two trolls for security and a decker and the rest are new-fangled robo-workers? I was that deck. Emphasis on "was." Thirteen years I worked for them and they just kick my ass out for some dumb-ass smart frame to do my job. Like a smart frame can anticipate the needs of the factory or knows the people who know the people to get the best price on replacement parts. Fraggers.

So, now here I am all that security training and nowhere to secure. So, I've been trying my had at insecuring a few places. Sure, my street training may leave a bit to be desired and I have trouble hitting a barn from three paces let alonw ten, but I can probably get access and get you access to anywhere you need accessing. Okay, so that's probably drek, but it sure sounds good! Truthfully, I got other skills than just decking. I can shoot a little and my people skills are top notch. Hell, it's easier, in my experience, to talk your way into the building than getting by all those top-notch firewalls, choke points, and whatnot that someone's always putting together to make our lives harder.

I can take orders when I'm clearly out of my element and I can give 'em when you're clearly in mine. I've heard all the short jokes I care to, but it thickens the skin and toughens the heart, I always say. Take it or leave it, I guess, but if you need me, I'm available at the moment.

[ Spoiler ]

I have Bard's entire online persona and whatnot available as well. If you care let me know

2. Gin (old missions character)
Orkish Raven Shaman

It's amazing the intrigue a woman can cause whe she's not expected to be intelligent enough to do more than clean a septic tank. Consider your average janitor. How many times do you notice her in a day? There she is, capable of learning so much intellectual property as she handles the trash and cleans up your office. Especially, if she's awakened to boot.

That's my job. I'm a whistleblower. I get hired to investigate the activities of individuals and organizations in a way that leaves no trace. Sure, I probably could have done most of what I do as a decker, but the implants would alter my ability to blend with the auras around me and besides, the thrill of infiltration is just what the doctor orders to help you know your alive.

My work is usually long term, but I can work the short term, too. I've got the spells to help you find what you've lost or to hide what you don't want found. I got the skills to get me in and out of a place and I got a face only a mother could love and maybe even she don't want to look at. All of which helps me in my more usual line of work. But, frankly, long term stakeouts cost a bit of cred and it doesn't always return in nuyen what I spend on manufacuring identities, so I figure its time to branch out.

------------------

Throwing two characters at you. I'll play either one. Gin's been an old friend for a few other games so I know a little bit more about how she's going to operate and Bard is someone I put together recently as an NPC that I think I'd like to get to know better. You've got a heap of submissions here so feel free to tell me to take a walk, but I figured since it was your post to my old DCRS thread that brought me back to this bipolar place we all know and love, I'd return the favor by signing my name by the X.

I got sheets for both Gin and Bard, though Gin is an SR Missions character and not a BP build. One thing to note: my old GM let Gin do an astral quest to learn Masking. You have a problem with that? If not then she'll know that metamagic, but if you don't allow that sort of thing then that's understood as well.

~Dash

[Gyro the Greek S...]

Would there be any objections if my character wasn't an elf, but a human?
(i.e., me going back and changing that...which I'm doing now...)

[Shadow]

No problem

[Bearclaw]

OK, I dumped the specialist. Here's a moderately experienced Eagle Shaman I'd like to play.

[ Spoiler ]

Wishbone was born in Denny Creek, a very small town in the Cascades. Both of his parents were orcs in their 30's and neither made it to their 40's. He and his older (2 years) brother Crooked Claw were raised by their grandfather Johnny White Eagle until their teens. At 14, it became apparent that Crooked Claw was magically active. When a couple of shamans came to check him out, they noticed that Wishbone was also magically active, but a future shaman, not an adept.
The brothers were separated, Crooked Claw adopted into a "warrior lodge" and trained to be part of an elite, all magical Ranger unit. Wishbone was left to live with Sam Johnson, a Raven shaman and rumored ex-shadowrunner in Denny Creek while their grandfather moved to Vancouver, where he's currently dealing Blackjack.
Sam was semi-retired from the shadows, keeping involved by helping smugglers with border crossings and short term hideouts. In addition to "normal" magical training, Wishbone learned about bluffing border guards, the best places for illegal crossings in and out of SS lands, Tir Tangir, Ute, Souix and Seattle, and which smuggler routes are the best for which types of loot.
He became good friends with a member of the Black Rain named Syn, who acted as a guide and middle man for the Yaks getting stuff in and out of Payalup through an elaborate maze of tunnels that run all the way into the mountains. When Crooked Claw disappeared into Seattle in search of his lost love, Syn helped Wishbone find him, and helped them both avenge her death.
After his first real adventure into the city, Wishbone was hooked on the excitement, and moved to Seattle to become a full time Shadowrunner. Wishbone, Syn and Crooked Claw formed their own team, adding a decker named Jones from the Reality Hackers and ran succesfully for over a year before a double cross killed Jones, and landed Syn in jail. Crooked Claw soon returned to SS lands to help with the war, and Wishbone has been working the smuggler routes and looking for a new team to join up with. Syn is out, but lying low in Payalup with his old friends from the Black Rain.

Ok so we have one week left for character idea submissions. This is good and bad. I compiled all the character submissions so far save one. I am sorry Arcady, I want a character someone put thought into, not randomly generated. Feel free to resubmit.

Everyone is welcome to submit more than one character if they want. I am looking for 6-8 people for this, but in reality 3 of those slots are already taken by Bearclaw, Method, and Gryo. They were the ones who contributed to the thread that is the genesis of this game, so there in.

I guess I should have posted in here that I was submitting Jessie from the old Team game you ran, rather than just tell you in chat.
