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.

Oracle
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.
Blitz
Abbandon - yes, sorry smile.gif 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 smile.gif

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.
adamu
That's great for me, if I get in. Note that I will not be posting much from Friday through Sunday.
Blitz
You're in Adam wink.gif
silentmaster101
ok no worries ill modify it, it was just my old char modified to not be a vet anymore, ill just make him an ex member of the border patrol hows that sound?
Blitz
Much better for this type of campaign! (love the idea, just didn't fit here is all)

biggrin.gif
silentmaster101
and actually i had ment black daggers not paladins, as i didnt look at my old character sheet/bio, and i couldnt find my old tir source books. ill rewrite it in a jiffyto fit in the ex border patrol thing and all when i get home, and have it posted tonight, i hope. and did you get my char sheet in your email?
Blitz
I believe so, but I haven't reinstalled office on my computer yet so haven't been able to go over it.
JackRipper
Throwing my hat in for this

Important: As stated before, multiple submissions are being accepted and only the best will be chosen. Think of it as a fixer deciding who best to pull together for a series of runs. smile.gif For those of you competing, things this particular fixer will be evaluating is level of competence, ability to work together and whether or not skills are complimentary, or redundant. Currently, the only finalized slot is Adamu for his Face/Leader.

Updated Roster:

1. Mage/Shaman
Oracle - Betrayed - Expecting character sheet on Thurs.

2. Technomancer/Hacker
Buddha72 - Shensahti - Still awaiting Character Sheet/Full bio

3. Face/Investigator/Leader

4. Mercenary/Ranged Specialist - Contested

here is a way more low-profile background for my character.

[ Spoiler ]


I will email a new version of my character sheet to better fit in with my bio in a minute blitz
AJCarrington
My apologies for not getting something in sooner, but real life threw me a bit of a curve over the weekend. If all goes as planned, I should have some more detailed info on Karst in the next day or two.

AJC
JackRipper
Sheet sent in.
Abbandon
Can i just use her as is? If she activates her agility up ability she could still have 9 dice for any weapon lol.

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.
Oracle
I am really sorry, but real life still got its grasp on me. I won't be able to participate in this game in the near future. Therefore please remove me from the roster. Work always comes when you don't need it. frown.gif
Buddha72
Character PMed Blitz with the change to try for the mage slot since it opened up. biggrin.gif
JackRipper

JackRipper

Fenris

7. Thief/Infiltration/Electronics Specialist
JackRipper - Johnny Yen - [b]Confirmed


Alrighty. Special notes to the following:
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 frown.gif
Fenris
Sorry for those that didn't get in, gratz to those who did.

Blitz, do you need anything else from us to get the ball rolling?
AJCarrington
Not a problem - appreciate the opportunity to get a character in reserve for the future.

AJC
Blitz
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 smile.gif
Buddha72
Fenris is semi-swamped with school stuff so allow me to answer your question. Yes it's the same. biggrin.gif
JackRipper
Blitz I emailed the short version of my contacts and will send out the bigger one when I get back from school.
Blitz
Oh.,,sorry guys. Please send me that contact info as straight txt. still can't find my stupid office disk so dont have word and excel at home :/

I can read yours now Jack, so don't bother resending, just wanted to make sure the new ones coming in are just text in the email. Thanks!
Blitz
Fenris...oh great...this will be interesting! Was planning on using her as your Johnson! wink.gif
Abbandon
My contacts:

[ Spoiler ]
spudrocks
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.
silentmaster101
hey its quite alright blitz, i will be more than happy to just be a lurker:-) i havent played a game in forums ever anyway, so any experiance with it is good.
Blitz
Soon as we have an opening, you're in smile.gif if you're lurking, it will be easier to have you introduced.
JackRipper
So, what's the new title to the game?
Blitz
Sorry I suck...got drunk tonight...you dont want me starting just yet *hic*
JackRipper
It would seem Roc and Johnny Yen run in the same circles (sort of)
spudrocks
Cool. Would Roc have met Jonny previously? Possibly during his work with Madam Lu?
JackRipper
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
That's a long winded way to say yes, they may know eachother
spudrocks
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.
Blitz
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 smile.gif

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))
