Large Mike

So, I was incredibly board and someone mentioned how Ancient is pretty much the scholar of the boards, and I mentioned something about him being the resident Ehran (or however that's spelled). That got me to wondering what dumpshockers are who else?

Captain Chaos would be a toss up between Neuron Basher and Adam. And there are the obvious ones like Bull being Bull and DVixen being DVixen. I'm sure we have a Harlequin and a Nadja on here somewhere.

What else? Nominate your fellow dumpshockers.

I'm the weaselly little guy hiding in the corner, shouting advice over the commo system.

I'd agree with the characterisation of AH as Ehran the Scribe. The only difference is that AH has always seemed kind, modest, and helpful.

Who would be chaotic enough to count as Harlequin? That guy is chaos incarnate!

'Cept when I have to deal with pissants that claim I don't know my material. Thankee all for the compliments.

Y'all do realize that several board members were actually included in the books, on purpose?

None other than the "god of Chaos." Of course I don't know the actual god's screename, but I am sure he posts under something. Speaking of the "god of Chaos," I thought of adding a shamanic totem of Chaos to a game I am GM-ing, but I didn't know what the bonuses and negatives would be. Obviously a bonus to illusion spells, but what else? Would it be an Idol? How would it look and what would be said about its followers?
Herald of Verjigorm
Just make the chaos shaman be a focus of the chaotic magic principles mentioned in MitS. I would apply the effects to any external magic (spells, spirits, etc.) within (MR meters) of the shaman and also to any internal magic (adept powers) within a tenth of that distance.

A totem for chaos is difficult to handle. Any totem that is clearly defined is not a valid totem of chaos.
Large Mike

Yes, I'm aware several people have been included on purpose.

Drain Brain
If anyone gets likened to Lofwyr, I'm never speaking to them again...
Kagetenshi
I'd probably be an unnamed Shadowland or Denver Data Haven employee.

Or maybe I'd be the GM...

I'm Morgan. . .
moosegod
I'll take Dunkelzahn. For no real good reason.

Actually, DVixen would be Dvixen. wink.gif
Moonstone Spider
I can't think of any significant Spider Shamans in the books to claim and that's really my most distinguishing characteristic.

Instead I'd probably rank as random NPC #4: The really bad smelling squatter hiding behind the dumpster when the gang fight starts.
Kagetenshi
There's always the gang, the Spiders... or you could be one of the people from the third Secrets of Power book.

~J
broho_pcp
Or the Spider god of CHAOS....



I know I am not wanted, so I'll just leave now.
Kanada Ten
Raven is the Harbinger of Chaos.
Coyote is its Herald.
And Spider is the Spinner.
The Three Fates of Life.

[ Spoiler ]


I'm Insect flesh form #137 in Double Exposure, #17726 in Bug City, or #12 in Queen Euphoria.
Lindt
Ill nominate Raygun as himself. Cause our resident gun shamen makes an apperance.
CirclMastr
Obviously, I'm the guy who invents NERPS™!
Abstruse
I'd personally like to say I were Smiling Bandit or Laughing Man, but I'd probably be closer to Slamm-O, the annoying little kid who thinks he knows everything and is only wrong about that about half the time.

The Abstruse One
nezumi
I'd be the 'squatter' contact in the contacts book.
Lilt
Can I be Brightlight?

[edit] Actually: I'm pretty chaotic, occationally wrong, always arrogant, and often teasing/cheeky. Can I be Harlequin? [/edit]

[edit] Actually: Screw that. I am Harlequin. nyahnyah.gif [/edit]
Nikoli
I wanna be the cop that was tied up, upside down on the Van. That looked like fun.
Drain Brain
I don't want to be Drain Brain (the sewer-dwelling hermit) any more - can I be Richard Villiers instead? No, wait... Ryan Mercury - I get to go to bed with Nadja Daviar every night... wink.gif
Kagetenshi
Because, as we all know, she has luscious gams.

Fortune has to be Lofwyr, he jsut has to move to Germany and start consolidating his assets. I mean he's already been around since the beginning of recorded history... wink.gif
Fortune
QUOTE (lodestar)

I could live with that! I wouldn't mind living in Germany. biggrin.gif

At least I wasn't nominated to be Tinkerbelle.


Mmmmmmm...Tinkerbelle! love.gif
Kagetenshi
Ooh, Tinkerbell. Mmm, riggery goodness.

~J
Nath
Thirty seconds waiting and you get a double post...
Nath
I admit embarrassed.gif I'd like at some point that my work got recognized and that I get known as DSF Chromed Accountant or something close. Well, anyway I've been given the opportunity to create my own alter ego in SR (Three posts and counting ! Okay, all three up to the same author with one with a printer error, but you get what you can biggrin.gif ).
Kesh
I'd probably be one of the slightly less annoying Tir Tairgire princes. I just think I know what I'm doing. biggrin.gif
Shanshu Freeman
Who would I be?

I seem to remember a thread on someone who wanted to be a True Believer in chaos. He said there'd be an organization of people dedicated to bringing it about. lol

John Campbell
My old college roommate tells me that the guy on SR2 p.199 looks just like I used to when our idiot neighbors were playing basketball in the hallway or something similarly stupid and annoying. It's amazing how quickly opening a door with a pissed-off look on your face and a naked sword in your hand will clear a hallway. On the other hand, that's clearly a katana, and I prefer Western swords.

And both of us'll swear that the guy with the yo-yo and the Green Abscess shirt is our friend Steve (who once actually broke a guy's nose with a yo-yo, in a very brief fight involving his insistence that the guy stop harassing some chick, and the guy's resulting characterization of him as a "yo-yo playing fag").
Aidley
I'll claim the troll pr0n starlet carrying her very own copy of the troll karma sutra.

...


now that i think about it, that's eerily accurate for me.

/going away now.
Kagetenshi
In a schoolgirl outfit?

Aidley

Shanshu Freeman
Troll porn! : woo woo : Can I have your autograph?
Reverendo_Fastjack
Grissim, from Bottled demon (im not sure)


Reverendo Fastjack
Austere Emancipator
I'm the Shiawase Sec Guard on p. 18 of SR3, who is both a horrible shot and an undignified die-er (dyer?).
ShadowPhoenix
I'm an Echo Mirage Decker

Hasaku
I'd be default matrix persona icon #133, constantly lurking the Shadowland database.
Hocus Pocus
I'd be Hocus Pocus, the best magic user, shadowrunner, and especially ladies man that ever ran. My rugged good looks would have them throwing themselves at me pining "oh Hocus Pocus you manly man, I do so ever need you! without you I don't want to live"



awesome
lodestar
I guess I could be the The Flying Canadian. wink.gif

What do you want smuggled and where?

Shadow
I would like to think I am Jack Skater, without the cyberware and all the cool guns, or troll and orc friends, uh the money. But hey, I have a hot wife and a little baby girl just like him!
