Blitz is your message box full or something here in the forums?? I sent you a character way back when i posted up above about needing to learn tags(july 14th). The forum didnt send it back to me or tell me that your box was full so i assumed you got it. But i havent heard anything back from you and you told people to email you directly so now im really doubting if you got it.
So could you check your messages to see if you got my character and if not i will email it directly.

Here is my characters detailed bio, its my first but i hope if is acceptable.
[ Spoiler ]
Garrett is brother to Nebrion Lightblade, and lesser prince to one of the ruling families of Tir Na nOg. When born his parents recognized his awakened talent at a very young age and at the age of 10 sent him to live and learn among the Elves of Tir Tairngire with his twin also awakened brother. He grew up learning to use his talents, not to cast spells and bind spirits, but to empower himself and reach greater physical shape. At the age of 20, ten years after migrating, he was allowed to join the special forces of the Tir. He spent a further 20 years learning and training while serving to protect the borders of Tir Tairngire against spies trying to get in, outside threats, paranormal creatures and all manner of other things. During those 20 years he outfitted himself with a variety of cyberware, as much as he liked nature and elven society, he liked technology more. In 2050 Nebrion got inducted into the Tir Paladins, and shortly after for little explained reason, Garrett left for New York and took seeing the cities. Garrett spent the next few years learning the ways of the city and how to fit in. Just recently Garrett has come to Seattle. Just getting into his prime at the age of 50, and not possessing a SIN, Garrett has decided to enter the shadows. Some rumors are in circulation that he was inducted into the order of paladins along with his brother and is now called by the princes to become a shadowrunner to help further the cause of the nation he truly calls home from the shadows.

I will send you my sheet tomorrow if that's okay for you. I got some kind of emergency situation at work today that needs my full attention.

Jul 19 2006, 03:29 PM
Abbandon - yes, sorry

got it! Looks fine on a cursory examination, but I will check it over more carefully once I get a longer break at work.
Silentmaster - I like it, but I think it's a bit too high powered for the game. Im going more for the street level thugs moving up into bonafide shadowrunning. Being the brother of a Prince and a member of the Tir's special forces division is a bit too influential for what Im looking for. I hate to say no completely though..any chance you can modify it slightly?
Oracle - No worries

Everyone...I would like to slate a start date as this coming monday which should give everyone plenty of time to get ready over the weekend.

Johnny Yen, a professional if not low rent infiltration specialist...ah who we kidding? He's a thief straight up. Loves the act or the planning of the theft more than the money itself...but keep your hands off his share.'Jacking something? Yeah he can do it. Second story (or above) work? Not a problem. He has the skills, the knowledge, and the contacts to get it done, and quietly (well most of the time)

here is a way more low-profile background for my character.
[ Spoiler ]
Garrett Lightblade was born on September 25th, 2020 in Tir Na nOg. When born his parents recognized his awakened talent at a very young age and at the age of 10 sent him to live and learn among the Elves of Tir Tairngire with his twin also awakened brother. He grew up learning to use his talents, not to cast spells and bind spirits, but to empower himself and reach greater physical shape. At the age of 20, ten years after migrating, he was allowed to join the militia of the Tir. He spent a further 20 years learning and training while serving to protect the borders of Tir Tairngire against spies trying to get in, outside threats, paranormal creatures and all manner of other things. During those 20 years he outfitted himself with a variety of cyberware, as much as he liked nature and elven society, he liked technology more. In 2050, Garrett left for Seattle and thought to see the world. Well reality set in. Facing a lack of money, Garrett was forced to start taking up a long string of unsuccessful small jobs. There was the, uh, time he became a news courier in the Redmond Barrens, that didn’t seem to go too well. Then there was the time he was a bouncer for a small local bar, which needless to say only lasted until a rather drunken troll threw him through the front window. Then he worked at DocWagon for a few months, until he disabled the annoying siren so he could get some shut-eye and a few customers died. Then he worked for a local electronics repair shop, until his boss sold the place and was replaced by a humanis policlub following goon. Garrett promptly found his butt on the street. Finding himself at the end of his rope, and down on his luck, Garrett found himself in the Jack O’ Lantern. The unlucky elf ended up finding him self toe to toe with a couple of Weener thugs. To make a long story short, being half-drunk and unlucky he started spewing witty comebacks and fell over trying to pull his gun, which one of the gangers thought was pretty damn funny. He found himself with a stroke of luck as they let him join. Garrett spent the next few years learning to rough people up, vandalize, party, and steal all manner of things from all manner of people. Now, just getting into his prime at the age of 50, and not possessing a SIN, Garrett has decided to enter the shadows to get a piece of action and maybe make a fortune.
I will email a new version of my character sheet to better fit in with my bio in a minute blitz

If she isnt good enough for ranged combat then i would like to withdraw her. I was going for face and I dont really make campaigne specific characters.

silentmaster101 - I
really like the concept of Garrett, but unfortunately he doesn't seem to fit well with the type of story Im working on. He's too experienced, even if his experience isn't necessarily in the shadows. I really want characters who are just beginning their journeys and he just doesn't fit that feeling.
AJCarrington - Never did receive any character data from you (history or stats).
These games tend to have a bit of turnover on the long hauls and I would not be surprised if we lost one or two players to real life. If you both wanted to submit characters to me later, (or perhaps later Garrett would work more than now) then you'd both have priority as alternatives to fill any vacated spots.
I really am sorry

I will want to make a big first post to get things set up, but want to do that at home not work so look for something starting this evening.
In the meantime, I would like an email from all approved players listing their contacts. I need name, alias (if they have them), loyalty/connection rating, brief physical description, writeup on their personality traits, and a paragraph on how you know them/met them. The more detailed these write ups are, the easier it will be for me to incorporate them into the story.
Fenris...is Mac my Mac?
Also...forgive me, but Im going to throw you a curve ball. Im changing the title of the game as it has evolved from my original concept into something else. (my utopia ideas got redirected to my other project, and this title will work better there than what I am currently using). I will make a post here to inform you all of the new improved run title

My contacts:
[ Spoiler ]
Border Smuggler 2/2, Alias: Hopper. Descritpion: Normal looking Elf with camoflague baggy clothes.
Die met Hopper at a strip club she was working at. After she found out that he was a smuggler who ran the tir tairngire/seattle boarder she found her way out. She seduced her way into his smuggler group and he tried to impress her by showing her the ropes. He soon realized she was just a flirt and would have ditched her but she was just to sexy and she was also offering to pay him to help her cross the border. They didnt have any kind of falling out so the relationship is still there.
Bar Tender 2/1, Alias: Cali. Description: Attractive human female, long straight pink hair, scantily dressed.
After Die arrived in seattle it didnt taker her long before she started exploring the club scenes. Bar tenders are natural sources of information and since Die needed info she started talking to one of the more attractive bar tender she had seen. They hit it off and talked and talked and even went out after Cali got off work and talked. They are intimate with each other but its nothing serious.
Arms Dealer 2/2, Alias: Smith. Description: a dwarf with short black hair, wears a t shirt and pants and an apron with tools and gadgets sticking out of most of the pockets.
Smith is the first person Die met in Seattle thanx to Hopper. Smith was instantly attracted to Die but when she started talking about the pistols she wanted to be put into contact with he nearly had a heart attack. He respects her because she knows more about guns than the usual street thug he mingles with. Still new people are new people and he is still cautious around Die.
Fixer 1/1, Alias: Felix. Description: A human male remarkably average looking. Wears jeans and cheap suit top with t shirts underneath.
Die met Felix through Smith. Felix is very cold towards Die and not even her charms seem to work on him. But he went ahead and hooked her up with some equipment. It remains to be seen whether one can trust the other and vice versa.
Mechanic 1/1 Alias: Nos. Description: A male orc wearing a baggy blue jumpsuit.
Nos is another very loose contact. She was told that Nos could hook her up with a ride. Nos was suspicious at first when Die placed an order for a mercury comet but when the car came and Die showed up with the creds it helped Nos feel more secure. He told Die about the various legal and illegal activities he could perform and that is where they left things off.

Here is Roc's contacts
Madam Lu, runs a high end prostitution ring in the city. She is backed by the Yakuza. Madam Lu is from Japan but moved here over fifteen years ago. She is prime a proper Japanese lady who speaks decent english. Nobody is sure how old she is. She is a petite lady with black hair who looks just past her prime. She runs her organization with an iron hand.
Sam Snead is a small time barrel chested dwarf fixer who is fairly new to the game. He wears cheap suits and smokes cheap cigars. Sam is middle aged. Nobody knows what he did before he became a fixer. The big money thinks he was either a used car salesman or a small time private eye.

It would seem Roc and Johnny Yen run in the same circles (sort of)
spudrocks
Jul 27 2006, 12:58 AM
Cool. Would Roc have met Jonny previously? Possibly during his work with Madam Lu?
JackRipper
Jul 27 2006, 01:22 AM
Johnny has contacts within the Yakuza, including a kobun (soldier) of the Shotozumi-rengo (the major clan that runs downtown) and the wakagashira of the Shigeda-gumi they have turf in the northern parts of the 'plex and have a large share of the vice industry (according to New Seattle sourcebook, yes it's 3rd edition but it's what i have at the moment)
Bearing all this in mind I think it is in the realm of possibility they "know" or "know of" eachother. If it is the case you'd know he's a thief. You might also know he pays his respect (and yen) to operate.
JackRipper
Jul 27 2006, 01:56 AM
That's a long winded way to say yes, they may know eachother
spudrocks
Jul 27 2006, 02:37 AM
Yes probably they would recognise each other. I wil keep that in mind for the game. I have not delved that deep into the source books to figure out what clan Madam Lu is attached to. I'll go with the first one.

Jul 27 2006, 04:21 AM
I want to spend the time to outline where the story will be going and unfortunately work is being far too demanding. The good(ish) news is that this is my last week so starting this weekend, we'll be going strong.
In the meantime, I've opened up a set of threads for you all to introduce your characters and get a feel of everyone's style. I'll make the first major bump post this coming weekend.
In fact, Id like that to be the regular routine going forward. During the week I'll give time for heavy roleplaying, gathering gear, planning etc, with major story/timeline bumps everyweekend to keep the story progressing.
Additionally, I am going to steal JackRipper's idea and ask that everyone time/location stamp their IC posts along with information about exceptions to your current gear carried. Please post an OOC list of standard carried equipment and notate in your timestamp any irregularities (such as switching from AR Shades to Low Light Goggles). As a player, Ive found this more helpful than Im sure Jack has

The title of the new thread is: Sex, Lies and Trid Chips
((for those players lucky enough to know the main NPC, the reason for this may be obvious))
