Oh on topic bit there is at least one human derived obsidiman in SR he's sat on Evo's board, check Yamatetsi refs in SoA. |

Boskop: They're not myths and legends. Like I said, one of Yamatetsu's top dogs (and a huge racist, who did a 180 flip on that issue) SURGEd into a '900lb rock man". No one's going to call them 'obsidimen' of course, because no one would know the terminology. But there is at least one of them out there, very public, and very documented.

Just to test the waters now if someone was to play an Obsidiman character in Shadowrun what would that character be like?---is it possible that an Obsidiman could be a Hacker/Rigger or Even a Tecnomancer?, or should that be outside the realm of possiblity?
Thoughts?

Well, he could use an external Comlink without Datajack and simmodule for AR access, like everybody else. Everything else is pretty much a wild guess!

so would the obsidiman shadowrun character be best suited to being a street-sam? could any of them be magicly active?--heck could any of them even have cyber inplanted?

Imo an obsidiman is well suited to become a mage/shaman or an adept. It would be strange to see one with cyber installed or even being a technomancer, imo.

well if an Obsidiman was a technomancer we would run the Possibility of the whole Cyberfolk/Siliconperson thing rearing it's head and we wouldn't want to bring that up too much yet would we?

If memory serves, Obsidimen were stronger and tougher than trolls.
I doubt that we'll be seeing them appearing as a PC race without obscene BP costs, unless they want trolls to be left in the dust.

Some wizard, somewhere, will see something so horrific he will rip out his eyes with his bare hands and thrust them into a convienent fire. He or she will be found dead with a pizza box, upon which is written "This (slight smudge) is the (smudge) of Harrow. Use wisely. (Smudge) is our Doom and our Salvation."
Debate will rage for years over the smudges, making either the word "This" really "these" and exactly what "Of Harrow" he or she was referring to.
Magical scholars will eventually conclude that because the pizza toppings included anchovies, this was the Pizza of Harrow and chalk it up to bad mushrooms and Astral hallucinations.
Somewhere, a Clown painted like an Elf.. or.. or an Elf painted like a clown, I can't remember which way it goes anymore, will be enjoying a slice of mushroom and anchovy pizza and giggling. He will be caputred with a mouthful of food and immortalized on some Shadowrun sourcebook that will be the source of endless debate on Dumpshock.
Behold, I have forseen it.

A very crappy non-national chain restaurant at the proverbial corner of Fifth and Main.
Guido's. With a hairy man on the cover.
The Guido of Harrow.

I just wonder then which Horror runs said Pizza Parlor-Probably the one in the Horror's source book who when from town to town selling people stuff that would then posses them, Like Max Von Sydow in Needfull Things; Does anyone remember that Horror's Name? (And now the Horror sells pizza that posseses people-that would make for a good adventure)

Giftbringer. Or Giftgiver.
Nasty bugger.

GiftBringer, one of the nastier horrors in that book.
And while he thought about taking a slice of Guido's, he decided not to.
The Horror behind Guido's is Ysgrathe. Why? When you're a couple thousand years old, why not?
Besides, anchovies create disharmony and emotional agony in everyone, what better way for a Horror to feed?

The most important rule of Horrors: The bad guy is never really dead.
No, wait, that's the most important rule of Horror Movies.
Think it still applies though.

and this of course Nebis reveals that truth that it Nebis is infact not Giftbringer that Nebis is taking over the world via pizza Nebis parlors but Ahzvat many-Eyes returned from the abyss Nebis! You only have to study the horrors closely Nebis Nebis to be able to see the wheels within Nebis, what is Nebis going on. Be careful Nebis though, becuase if you Nebis to deeply Nebis may be consumed NEBIS NEBIS!
