== Description ==
Yael is average height and attractive by the standards of her time. She treats her body like a temple, healthy food, exercise and the finest of cosmetics. She wants to be pretty and would do whatever is needed to achieve it. Yael is not tall enough to be a model, and she is built curvy and healthy (or 'fat' for an elf), these frustrate her to a degree, but she also likes the perks it provides in the form of ample chest and ass.

== Background ==
Redmond raised as part Redmond raised as part of a small and tightly knit family of petty criminals of middle eastern origins. Her father Ron Bar steals cars, her brother Larry follows on his footsteps while raising two young children (boy and a girl). Her mother, Ravit Bar - is into forgery. There were good years and bad years, most of the time the family provided to Yael - but when her father has done time in prison Yael found herself having to beg, steal and manipulate to survive. The rest of the time she did these things to make some extra cash. The family is lightly affiliated with the Mafia, but the connection is business like and they are not members.

At the age of 14, Yael run out of luck and found herself with an angry SINner with a gun, her brother could not help and even though Yael returned his wallet the man shot her. Yael survived by playing dead, holding her breath and allowing the blood to gush out of her abdomen. As she laid there, bleeding out she heard the man talking to his lawyer - a brilliant lawyer named Debora Miller that later becomes one of Yael's contacts. Debora instructed the man to drop the gun and comlink to a garbage can and be picked up in a nearby pub. Despite her injury, Yael picked up the gun and comlink and then limped home , Larry was too frightened to save her but took her to a doctor that treated her. The gunshot left a small mark on her abdomen, missing her internal organs.

Since she recovered, she practiced with the gun - having a quality gun changed her life for the better. No longer would she be afraid of bullies. It was an equalizer and she made sure that her hands were skilled enough to keep herself alive. Despite that, Yael has never assaulted a person not out of self-defense. She lacks any form of a desire to physically hurt people (though she really enjoys stealing from people).

She awakened at 15 and kept it a secret. She heard voices and initially thought she was losing her mind. Her mentor spirit, Bear - or the protector reflects her intrinsic desire to protect her 'pack' at all cost. In her world, there are few people that matter and she needs to keep them safe no matter what. She sees her brother Larry as a failure for not stepping up to save her and thinks that she would have attacked instead. Bear does not speak much to Yael as that terrifies her to the core. He guides her from distance, helps her be strong and endure whatever life dishes out on her. Pushes her to hone her skills and then use her powerful health magic to further augment what she can naturally do.

Yael could not develop her gifts, the only magical skill she naturally learned how to use was astral sensing. Which she mastered with dedication and love. The act of projecting is enjoyable and 'ticklish' to her and has enabled her to work better. Specifically, while Yael kept her awakenedness secret, she approached Debora and convinced her to give her a break. (Mildly blackmailing her). Yael would then asense Debora's clients for a few coins and favors, usually not leaving her bed.

At the age of 17, Yael discovered that she could cast spells - Bear unveiled to her first spell the healing spell. It changed her life. She understood that she had a lottery card - she was a full mage with almost limitless potential. Though born to a family of car thieves there was little she could do to develop that gift. She used the heal spell as her way to practice her craft, healing wounded gangers and Mafiosi. This forced her out of the closet, made her popular on one side - but feared on the other. Since she came out as a mage, Yael felt alien - her own family feared, envied or whatever it was they felt. She was an outsider, deep in their hearts they knew that the young and talented mage would not be stopped.

Indeed, at the age of 18, Yael took the first major risk. A debit to leg- breakers a quality SIN nicked Anna and a fake high-school diploma with honors. It was enough to get her accepted to a mediocre and cooperate funded 'Magic for practitioners' degree in Seattle's University. The education plan was aimed at corporate need from wage mages, training them as bodyguards, security or utility mages. Unable to work, and struggling to pay the Mafia in time as well as to pay the university Yael focused on the magic arts that did not require reagents. To this day, she is slightly biased against the use of these, feeling that it is a shortcut for those that do not want to work enough.





== Concept ==
An attractive theif, shadowruns because she likes the excitement. Physically aroused by stealing things and being exosed. Deep inside, she has an intrinsic desire to be strong - and to protect her friends and family. Desires aside, at the moment she does not feel powerful or dangerous. Yet, she is naturally agile and skilled with a gun - it kept her safe but is probably not enough for a career criminal.

Well ... now that all the placeholders are up, I feel that I have to start the new OoC thread with an apology. In advance.

For Crossbow, who doesn't know bnc. I'm sorry for all those things she is bound to do. I never meant her to be an asshole, but in dealing with all her issues she's effectively a kind, abusive, loving, passive-aggressiv bitch with a big heart and a bad temper. The worst kind: too good-natured to be simply hated, but too destructive to actually enjoy her company.
So I apology in advance. Remember that whatever mean things she says to whatever character for no real reason that anyone but her can see whatsoever, this is only strictly IC and has nothing to do with my feelings towards you in real life.
I felt like it might make sense to point that out in advance ^^

Now that Invisible Castle is down, what do we use for dice rolling? Any thoughts?

Uhm. Orokos, like the whole time?

Bye
Thanee

Sometimes, I feel incredibly thick xD

bnc will certainly find Nova's commlink, which shouldn't be hard, considering she knows it, already.

Bye
Thanee

Anna would turn hers off shortly before the meeting. In case she does not take the job (Same deal as in the beginning of the bank robbery episode).
She is not that difficult to physically recognize.

bnc would find Sharkboy's commlink and probably his suit's wireless bonuses tethered to it.

Cool, thanks.
Has anyone heard anything of Crossbow? It's been a couple of days now.

EDIT:
I can't find "touch" among the sensors listed in the CRB. If I want James to feel, do I have to/can I pick touch as a sensor?

If not, he sports:
Camera
Cyberware scanner 15m
Laser range finder 1,000 meters
MAD scanner 5 meters
Motion sensor 25 meters
Olfactory sensor —

@Volker: Wrestlers (the olympic kind) can be pretty skinny guys as well.

I can't decide whether people would still tell the story of Hansel and Gretel in the 6th world. It could be like Watchmen where people don't read superhero comics, or the story could be seen as good advice for children and not as a fairy tale.

Shadowruns diverged from our reality sometime in the 80ies. The fairy tales should still be current knowledge, but highly distorted by media corporations retelling it every few years

What does Eliza's face look like?

And where do you sleep in that building?

Bye
Thanee

Oh, right, I forgot:

Eliza appears as a young woman with red-blond hair and green eyes on screen. Her features are hard to pin down - very average and symetric.

Sleeping is done on the VR chairs (they are recliners were you can go into VR in comfort)

So, in what language do we communicate? Especially Sharkboy (who doesn't speak German) and Taurus (who speaks German with an accent)?

BTW, has James always had the same look, or did it change from when we last saw him?

Bye
Thanee

Maybe some minor changes but basically it stayed the same, IC. tbh, I couldn't find the description I posted when you first met him. So I decided to just write a new one. Did you remember his appearance differently?

No, I don't remember any specific description, really.

But actually, there was one (just found it).



Bye
Thanee

Cool, thanks. That pretty much matches the description

Yep!

Bye
Thanee

Before Sharkboy plays those words back and makes a stink about this: Was this just a slight accident in wording or is she intentionally changing the story after being questioned about that time limit?

That question is hard to answer, really.

Of course, it is a lot of money for a day's (or a few days) work, if you look at it that way.

OTOH, it really does not get you very far, considering how pricy everything is.

Bye
Thanee

It's meant as a clarification why you should try to get it done within 24 hours

I now managed to post bnc's stats.
btw: She's biased to Germans. Just sayin' ^^

@Squirrel
--> What exactly did you mean by that? bnc is not physically present.

Apologies, assumed she was. My mistake. Posts edited accordingly.

Wakata, thought so.

"bicentennial man"? Didn't get that one

It's a story by Isaac Asimov about a robot that becomes recognized as a human being

It was made into an (in)famously terrible movie starring Robin Williams. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/1a/0a/62/1a0...111242f32ca.jpg

It's only slightly over 2 hours, but it feels like forever and a day.

Ah, I get it. bnc would most definitely not know the movie either

For those unfamiliar with why Sharkboy described what's happening as "carny gonna carny."

Pro wrestlers/pro wrestling bookers/pro wrestling promotional owners are derisively called "carnies" when they use shitty business tactics. This is because the sport/business has it's root in carnival strong-man/wrestling competitions at the turn of the century. Famous instances of pro wrestling folks acting like a "carny" would include famous mottos like "card subject to change", translated to "we're going to lie about what's on the show tonight, and then excuse the false advertising because 'card subject to change'." Generally treating fans with no regard for their intelligence; not as customers, but as "marks", will get them called carnies. However, that label can also be applied when fans find out about backstage instances and shitty dealings between management and talent. Such as when Alundra Blaze/Madusa walked out of WWF still holding their women's title and then appeared on television for WCW and dropped the title into the trash.

Relevant to the negotiations is Jeff Jarrett's holding up Vince McMahon in 1999. Jeff Jarrett's WWF contract ran out just before the pay per view where he was booked to drop the Intercontinental Championship to Chyna. Jarrett "held up" Vince McMahon, demanding what other wrestlers estimated to be about $300,000 to do the job and then leave. Jarrett got his money and then went to start his own wrestling company, Total Nonstop Action Wrestling. Yes, he called his new company "TNA" wrestling, because carny gonna carny.

The main problem with negotiations like this is the lack of data to rely on and wildly differing expectations.

The characters are pretty high level and thus assumed to know their worth.

However, the players have no idea what that might be, so everyone has a different opinion on that.

It would actually be pretty helpful to know what you, Jack, consider a decent pay for a typical run, and how much one could expect compared to a normal run for it being extremely dangerous (which losing one team already suggests) and also with a highly limited time frame.

i.e. what do low level (street level) / mid level (regular starting level) / high level (prime runner level) runners usually get for an average job?

Well, if you went by the table from core, you could expect

3000 x (4 (highest Dicepool/4) + 1(Contact with dangerous element of sixth world)) = 15.000¥

Which is what she innitially offered. The 10k extra were in deferrence to your status as high level runners.

That said: NPCs have hard limits of what they are willing to pay - after all, hiring mercenaries is a shortcut so you don't have to spend more money getting things done legally.
That the other crew died is immaterial, as you can't know their professional level and risking your life is a part of all runs in the sixth world.

I am here, just haven't felt the need to comment.

SquirrelDude - Smart Mark over here, but thanks for the history lesson

Volker - Roleplay is roleplay, IRL is IRL, I don't confuse the two.

Once Taurus knows that Sharkboy doesn't speak German, he will make a point of translating for him if allowed to. (Btw, he has a accent because he wants to have an accent, he can lose it if need be)

Is Sternschutz a corporation? I'm not familiar with it.

Sternschutz is the German equivalent to Lonestar

Cool. What does the I in IRL stand for?

I Re Land

Okay, probably not.

P.S. In ...

Although, I have no idea what Crossbow is refering to there.

Okay, that makes sense with that name.

For real? IRL= In Real Life

okay, thought so. I just couldn't figure out the grammar behind the sentence ^^

@Jack: So, where is the facility? Is it in a village, a town, a dense forest, a desert, the city of Worms? What kind of neighborhood. Stuff.

j/k


Besides, Volker only asked for the "I", which I answered in the "P.S.".

You know, there is a link to google maps in my post?

I actually did miss that.

Has Worms grown during the last 70 years? Most big cities extend a lot farther than they do in reality. I'm asking, because Worms 2076 might have industry or an arkology where now are only fields and acres (on the opposite side of the Rhine, I mean).

Certainly, it's part of the Frankfurt Sprawl.
But there are still large wooded areas around.
