Cedric - No problem with the custom blades, assuming you're using the base TN of 10+ for Object Resistance because of the dikoting for enchanting tests.

I took the 10 from the Magic in the Shadows book, when designing it for a targer number of 18 - a bunch of radicals etc.
[ Spoiler ]
The magical talent Edge - Astral view came out of my Shadowrun Companions, which is unfortunately 2nd edition. If it doesn't exist in the SR3 then I'll revise. Its the book I have, sorry. That also contains the special skill Ambidexterity p. 81 which costs 3 points for each skill level at character creation and then can be increased normally through karma.
Whoops, specializations where simply wrong, will correct.
Enemy, I was thinking of my half siblings who I screwed out of a large portion of our mutual father's corporate holdings after his death. (Which was foul play, despite the Pueblo Corp. Police findings, John knows 1st hand), but go ahead and surprise me, it'll be a kick!
I'll draft a email to you responding to your questions in depth later but this'll give us a start.

Astral View doesn't exist anymore, unfortunately. When you draft your email, if you can give me an idea of what it did, I'll see if I can find something similar.
Ambidexterity is an edge now: Ambidexteriy Edge 2,4,6,8: Reduce any penalties for fighting with an off hand weapon by half the value of this edge. If you're talking melee, you need it at 6 or 8 to avoid having to have an Off-Hand Weapon Skill for the weapon you're using in your off-hand, it basically lets you use the skill you would normally use for it. Either way, you add half of the skill to your combat roll to simulate the second weapon being used. I.E, Edged Weapon of 6 would get you 9 dice for wielding two edged weapons.
As for the enemies, it's up to you. I'd like a simple, Yes, their my siblings, or No, go ahead and make them up

Hey everyone, I have my history mostly written except for the last few years before current game time. It's really long so I'm not going to post it here, but if anyone wants to read it or wants to collaberate on a connected history just let me know.
The basic summary is that Lenore "Nevermore" was a street rat turned ganger who wound up the servant to a powerful Nosferatu. She's a high level adept gunslinger from Moscow and while educated and intelligent enough to conduct herself respectably, she finds direct action a lot more attractive than political wheeling and dealing.

Bearclaw, what email address are you sending it to? I've been recieving email all weekend just fine @ quantumthoughts (at) gmail (dot) com. And are your attachments .txt or .html? I've gotten other people's, so I assume those two types work, at least. I'd say break the .rar up to the individual files and send them like that. Because you did email me on Friday, I'll give you a few more days to get it in, so you have till this Friday.
I have received characters from:
Buddha
Fortune
Cedric Rolfson
Carmel Frap
Whizbang
The following are receiving special dispensation due to unforseen problems, and have until this Friday to get their characters in:
Bearclaw
McQuillan
Blitz
For everybody, the game will start officially on Friday.

I'm having internet problems on my end, Sprinit says its the DSL line and they're working on it, sometimes it works fine, sometimes it blows chunks. We're going to try this one more time via email. Problem is supposed to be fixed today.

OK, I gave up on hotmail and tried sending from a gmail account. So far, it hasn't been bounced. Spent my time working on the organization, rather than his background. I'll get that to you in a day or two.

After an 11 hour homework marathon, I'm afraid I'm going to have to postpone starting the IC thread until tomorrow.
My apologies, all those that were anxiously waiting on the side lines

Character sheet on the way
FYI, custom pistols haven't been purchased or designed yet because I sold my CC on ebay before I sat down to do them (d'oh!) I will borrow Alex's on Saturday and have the pistols done by the end of sunday.

A heads up for the GM - while waiting around for the game to start (
), I whipped up a custom set of armor that I've attached to my character sheet. You know where to find it. It doesn't provide anything that wasn't covered by the old canon armor that I had - it's for flavor only.
