Oh, trust me! I'm going to have a blast
Can I give him a negative quality called
Addiction (Severe): Physical Pain?
Like... he needs to get a certain amount of Physical Damage every now and then
its closer to poor self control type negative quality......guess he likes the sado/maso BTL's as well?

That actually makes a whole lot of sense.
Would you allow such a thing in your game? Feel free to say no if you don't want to; I'll be far from offended
Wow, over a hundred posts in... what, like an hour or two?
Allow a sado/masochist? or the quality?
either way as long as we arent too graphic to break the terms of use here then I'm okay with it. 2072 is a sick sick world after all.

depends on how hard you think it is to keep from doing it ie the number of hits on a composure test, while entertaining to read about you humping the leg of someone at an important meet, it isnt appropriate.

Come to think of it, I'll just add it as a pure RP element.
I'll give him some othe debilitating negative quality

Exceedingly confusing. I have absolutely no idea what happened other than someone got their arm blown off and some burns on their face and something to do with the armory.
Edit: Okay, reading through it a bit more I think I got a bit better idea, but it is still very confusing.
Now, as a former explosive ordnanceman in the Marines I can tell you that if you did that much damage you'd never see daylight.

I'm not entirely sure if he hurt anyone besides himself though. Still, I agree, you'd get alot worse than a dishonorable discharge and a bit of jail time. Especially in the SR universe. I'm fairly sure that would fall nicely under something deserving of capital punishment to be carried out within the next five minutes.
Edit: I should note that I like the concept of him having gotten partially blown up due to his love of explosives/explosions.
What would be a bit more "realistic"? My concern is that this character may hit a bit too close to home for those in the US.

Well, I don't know about hitting home for US people, but I think that him mixing up some explosives (Ampho bombs for example) and setting them off by mistake in his house. He gets found/rescued, perhaps by Halloweeners that overlook his 'accident' for the sake of having someone that can mix up explosives for them (Chemistry skill would be very useful here for this concept)
Ampho boomies?
I could also see an arsonist for hire as well fitting in

Basically the easiest bomb in the universe to make.
Calfoa "Kaput" Crater, accidentally nukes a ganger and his ride, mistaking it for the "tax collector." Seeing potential the Halloweener's overlook the mishap as the ganger "had it coming to him." Kaput creates EZ2Thro, idiot proof grenades, which happen to be geckoed.
Also loves the smell of napalm in the morning, or gasoline and soybeer bottles.
Geckoed meaning having a sticky quality, think Halo, plasma nades.

I think we are living seprately.
Also, I meant an ANFO bomb, not ampho. I think boiling water might be more difficult than making an ANFO bomb.
I'm not so sure that having any sort of Gecko quality on a grenade is conductive to being idiot proof.
Anyway, bedtime for me. Afraid I have a busy day tomorrow so don't expect to able to post much till after noon, then another stretch till about 5ish.
Hmm, so much for the sticky nades idea. I'll come up with something 
Couldn't sleep, so I came up with this as a Hacker concept. Stll have some nuyen to spend on gear. Suggestions would be helpful. Having to buy Progs at full value hurt but is done. Still planing to upgrade them when cash flow comes my way. He's isn't the baddest combat machine but can at least lay down suppresive fire if needed. Will tweak to suggestions. Amd I need to come up with a Background just have a very loose one in my head.

Is he/she a one trick pony? If so maybe add some depth by adding a bigger skillset. I;d have to see the CS to give any more advice.
I have a few grand left over so unless I am glaringly missing somthing I can put that toward a Lifestyle to represent a crashpad. I just don't want to be stuck with monthly upkeep and I ask that others help contribute. Maybe if we can push it to High we can split the starting nuyen?

Well, fairly specialized, but she actually has a good negotiation skill and charisma to match, all her mental stats are at least 3, so not gimped there. I think I'm over points ATM though, so needs some tweeking. She has high enough Agi to be able to do reasonably well in a firefight even.
I admit she doesn't have a ton of skills. I'll keep working on her when I have some time (Lunch or class, think I'll have some free time in lab today) and at least make sure her points are evened out. I suppose her biggest weakness at the moment is a lack of contacts (I always forget those on my first run through of a character that isn't a socialite). DO, are you doing the Chax2 free contact points house rule? It seems very popular overall and is especially useful in a low point game.

Sorry guys just realized I didn't have a ride so no go on the crashpad. I also edited my CS posted on Pg 5 to a slightly less rough draft.
I was actually going to suprise you all with the x2 contacts rule...so yes.
Ravensoracle, only thing I saw on your sheet that stood out to me was your Automatics (Assault Rifles) and Dodge (Ranged), with no melee or unarmed skills. The Halloweeners are for all intents and purposes a Thriller gang, meaning they like to beat people up, cut them, bash them, dice them, etc. I'm not saying firearms dont have their place in the gang or the game, its just a smaller role than in a regular SR game.
Also, be thinking about your role in the gang (how you make your money). If you dont know, or arent concerned with it then I'll find you something......probably unpleasant.

Always room for someone to clean the septic tanks
I have a few ideas for my position besides Assassin/Muscle. Still making adjustments. Any comment on my character being too powerful DO? Been a while since I made a combatant so guess I kinda went all out.
This is the discription of the Halloweeners from Seattle 2072....god I love the information age!
Halloweners
Turf: Downtown
Colors: Black and Orange
The Halloweeners are a gang that scares even some gangs, especially lately, when their fascination
with macabre, over-the-top Halloween imagry seems to have gone to some pretty nasty places. The
current leader of the gang is a mysterious figure called Nightmare, dressed up like a slasher out of
some hundred-year-old horror flick, complete with glow-in-the-dark plastic skull mask and black leathers
covered with straps and buckles and an orange bandana tied around each arm. The look has caught on with the gang, which apes it, often with different masks ranging from hockey masks to cheap rubber Halloween masks. The gang makes its living with a mixture of dealing, arson, petty theft, and violence-for-hire.
> Whatever Nightmare is—and nobody can even tell if that is male or female—it’s
bad news. Stories of supernatural powers from a flaming aura to sucking the
life out of victims or literally scaring them to death abound. The only thing I
can say for certain about it is a source I trust has looked at Nightmare’s aura
and it is tightly masked. That’s no mean feat considering my source’s abilities,
and means Nightmare is hiding something and probably knows full well what
it is doing.

Didn't I already post that?
I was thinking along the lines of creating and editing the BTLs. He knows software and gets a thrill out of replaying his own kills so it fits well with his personality.
I'll change the two skill to a more close combat role he can default with the Assault rifle. He can at least lay down supressive fire if needed.
Edit: Working on 50 Q's for background now.

Simsense section in it covers a little bit on recordings. Since you arent likely to have the yen to buy your own simsynth, you'll need a contact that relates to that occupation. I was going to call snuff BTL's 'Black Jacks' in game, but i'll throw you a benie and let you use that as your brand name if you want. And, you whole idea has me thinking about the SAW movies
hehe, I have a brand name. Cool
Can I have the contact let me rent time in the simsynth studio, or does he have to produce it himself. I see Wires as being the type of guy that enjoys his work and likes to stay hands on. Maybe gie the contact a cut for manufacturing the BTLs?

I'll let you decide on the nature of if he does it for you or if you rent the equipment/studio time from him. Obviously, as the old adage goes you need money to make money.
I totally forgot to reduce the stat max to 150 points. Well, that lowers my mental stats some (And a physical as well) but makes keeping under 315BP a heck of alot easier.
Edit: P.S. All hail lunch, it is delicious.
Edit: P.S. All hail lunch, it is delicious.
There has been some discrepancies with points. Could someone please check?
I count 308 points before resources. Your problem is in your contacts, you have 26 points worth.
