Hi,
So about a year ago, nearly to the day I got Fragged by a particularly nasty form of Black IC (Unique identifier r34L Lyf3).
it's been quiet in my padded cell, the troll in the corner is mostly peaceful and I save a bit of soy-paste to placate it every so often.
and then some idiot opened the door with the words "Let's get a Shadow Run 3rd game on!"
Mouth engaged before brain, to respond in the affirmative Chummer!
and I'm suddenly embroiled in char creation again... now my brain hurts.
I guess there's a point I should get to, I'm in over my head,
and last time that happened a Dwarf Rigger was born that had no right to live with mediocre skills and zero understanding of the world he lived in.
Now, I'm going to simplify things for myself, I'm going to write up a concept here and ask for your help in fleshing out some skills, powers and wares that I should take
***NOTA BENE*** this is not an exercise in munchkinry,
but I would like to be on a level playing field with the other team members who can be best described as Psycho murder hobos on acid!
So here goes :
Silas is an ork street kid with a keen interest in 20th century comic book heros,
in fact he's memorized all the ones he can get and has taken to enacting scenes from TMNT with his buds.
the last one got him in deep trouble as he interrupted a "Run" in progress leading to the team to bungle the op and barely escape, taking Silas with them as hostage.
This was officially the most awesome day in his life thus far and he now craves more of that action.
so I have so far chosen
A: Attribs
B: Magic (Adept)
C: Resources
D: Race
E: Skills
Skills as E as there is a further 60 Karma to spend on bringing him up to par. .. but I can be convinced to swap around
I have spent 4 magic points on powers and sacrified 2 points of essence in ware and Bio.
Suprathyroid and muscle replacement I think + Data jack & Smartlink2
Powers are improved reflexes
Counter strike
Flare comp
Blind fight
Thermo vision
Skills are mostly in true turtle style
some stealth,
mostly unarmed with pistols as a backup
sword
Breaking and entering skills (electronics and B/R car)
Gear is very basic due to funds and his beginnings as a street punk.

So, what would work better do you think ?
