Musashi Forever
Hey everyone! I'm looking for a few hard-as-nails professionals who have experience in real warfare, not just geeking a few security guards here and there. The target is hardened and you will be facing mil-spec opponents with some bad mojo on their side.

Here's some rules for Chargen.

Build Point System (120 points) or Priority
-Edges and Flaws need to even out, but don't go nuts.
-Deckers will not see much use, but computer skill may be helpful.
-Riggers will have to procure vehicles and large drones on-sight so don't spend the big bucks on a custom vehicle, cuz you won't be able to bring it with you.
-Setting is 2062. Changeling are welcome.
-Please no ghouls or shifters.
-Shamans should pick nature friendly totems, there will not be any urban areas in this game.
-Just so you know, there is already one stealth/demo specialist for certain. You can send more if you want, just make sure there is a reason for me to include another stealth guy.
-No more than six players will be accepted.
-Game will start next week.
-Let me OK all custom gear.

Ok, sorry for the long list. You can PM your characters to me or email them to Palooka.Kolbe@gmail.com

Thanks. Se you all down south. cool.gif
Cedric Rolfsson
I may be interested, I'd put together a combat mage or an adept
Blitz
I'm in. I'm thinking a medium lvl gun with heavy tech skills.
Sicarius
would a NSA type electronic survelliance/Communcations type guy work? Is got some decent military cyber. I might have to beef up his firearm skill a little bit.
Chance359
I could put a troll merc together for this one.
Musashi Forever
All of those sound like great ideas, please send them to me. Remember, in this case weapons/tech skills are going to be more important than socials.

This one is not oging to be first come - first serve, I'm going to be pretty selective about which characters I accept. I know this means more work for you guys and I apologize, but I think it will be worth it. biggrin.gif
Sicarius
The character sheet is at home. I'll send it in tommorrow morning.

Sounds good, Sic. I look forward to seeing it.

Is BECK's 2.0 allowed for character generation?
HMHVV Hunter
Y'know, I've always wanted to do a game like this.

I only have one question (and if you can't answer it for fear of giving away the plot, that's fine): Is it going to involve the Yucatan War much?

Not directly. Sorry it is a vaugue answer, but it's as far as I am willing to go right now.

I would rather you stick with priority or buid points please.
Sicarius
Just checking, did you recieve in my PM character and is everything hunky dory?
Musashi Forever
Looks good, but I am not ready to announce who's in yet. But everything is in the right place.

Any spots still open? I'm thinking a chopper-rigger.

Plenty of spots open, I have only decided to fill one of six so far. Please send your riggger, but be warned...he may not see much flight time just from the way the game is getting set up. If you make sure he can hold his own in a fight and has some drone skill that'll take care of the times when he's not able to be airbourne.

Thanks...love the screenname. grinbig.gif

Most excellent. I'll get right on it ^.^

Awesome, looking forward to seeing him. cool.gif

Think I'll give it a go, send what I come up with later on tonight. Gonna go with the commando/professional killer type, in case things get dicey.

Cool, Thanx.

I'm thinking of submitting a Solid Snake-style stealth guy. Any room for that?
Gyro the Greek Sandwich Pirate
Scratch my entry. I've gotten awfully sick, and I don't think that I'll be able to come up with something in time.

No time limit, friend. I hope you feel better. If you feel up to playing any time soon, send him in.

You get my character?

Not that I know of. How did you submit it?
Toptomcat
I know I can't bring a custom vehicle- but can I bring a single, troll-sized custom drone?
Chance359
Due to an upcomming project at work, I will not be submitting a character to this game. Good luck all.

Yes, but you need to run custom-anything by me first, thanks.

I was thinking of doing a shaman/medic for the group. Some combat skills (think pistols/unarmed) but mostly magic protection/spirit support and on the spot healing for the rest. So most spells will be health with one or two combat ones.

That work?
Cedric Rolfsson
Okay, I submitted my combat mage, primarily spell casting with the usual complement of elementals on stand by.

Musashi, I PM'd the revised sheet to you. Goes by the handle Rebel.

Sounds like a good idea, but he should probably at least be able to use SMGs or a shotgun. You'll probably need a mundane way of punching through armor.
Buddha72
Excellent point, I'll do SMGs then. Any info on who we're fighting for or against? Have we been a team from the beginning or are we being thrown together for this mission?
Toptomcat
Doing the full drone will take a while, so just give me a tentative up/down for the drone concept: a Large-chassis Walker Drone with space for a pilot and mechanical arms...a first approximation of power armor.

Sorry, i'm just not certain that something along those lines would fit into this game. frown.gif

Well you'll be in Aztlan/Aztechnology territory fighting mil-spec equipped enemies. (Sorry that is as clear as I am willing to get right now.)

I'm not certain about the team/thrown together thing yet. Maybe after I decide on who is in, the players could get together and share some things about their characters and create a bit of a backstory for the team. Actually, that idea sounds pretty good to me. Would you all, as interested parties, be willing to do somehting like that?
Cedric Rolfsson
If my character gets picked up I'd prefer the team concept. A small unit of mercenaries who are recruited for their cohesion etc. etc.
Toptomcat
Sure, I can go for that...
Uh...up or down on the drone?
Musashi Forever

Yeah, this is sounding better and better.


Note to all:

I have not received a heavy-weapons/launch weapons character. This would probably be a good addition to any merc team.

P.S. I'll give acceptance and Karma to anyone who can write a good backstory for the SR3 Troll Mercenary sample character for the purpose of playing him in this game. biggrin.gif
Toptomcat
Am I getting through?


MUSASHI FOREVER, if you will APPROVE MY DRONE CONCEPT I can fill that role. biggrin.gif grinbig.gif
Blitz
I think I'm going to withdraw from this one. I want to participate in Fenris' campaign and I don't think I can complete both characters in the necessary amount of time and still have anything of quality. Best of luck though!

Ok Blitz. Good luck. I'll see you in the future.

Frag man, I happen to be at school teaching right now. I make reponses when I have the time. I'm not trying to be a dick, but here's your answer. Sorry, the walker drone is not going to work out. Feel free to submit somehting else.
Toptomcat
(Sorry, sorry, didn't mean to be rude- just felt ignored)
Okay, I'll make a more conventional heavy-weapons guy.

Much obliged. You can make a rigger if you'd like, just choose something a little more conventional.
Cedric Rolfsson
How about some lock picking, hot wiring, maglock spoofing, skills? Does anyone have any of those? If we're operating in foreign territory we will likely need to "creatively requisition" various pieces of equipment.

Tech skills would deffinitely be a plus. Of course I guess you could blow a door down...lol. nyahnyah.gif
