That means I get a lightsaber soon, right? Swwweeeeet, Dark Side here I come.. -cough cough- Light side here I come <.< >.>

sure you can get a lightsaber.... i just need to see where you found the crystals and make an electronics b/r and an edged weapon b/r roll... TN12

tell you what... you do it good enough, i'll even let your sword retract with the light! of course if you do make the first lightsaber... i suggest patenting, selling, building an army, and retiring.

Sorry, but I gotta drop. I'm in High Order as well, and I've only got time for 1 game right now. Thanks anyway.

Hey if you want a light saber, Rip will build one for you. Of course it'll cost you though. Just wire 500k nuyen to his off shore account, and he'll contact you when its ready......

When Juric has 500k nuyen, he won't be here

Oh well, It was worth a shot. If he got the 500k, he wouldn't be here either.

Hmm. Sabosect must be crazy, then. He'd not only be here, but he'd own more property and his gun would be turned from a simple Slivergun to a Predator 2 with the equipment to make up for a lack of implants and attachments to cover Ultrasound as well. Here, soldier, soldier, soldier...

specific spell focus... elemental manipulation light with touch range, sustained, and special modifier for +1 reach (probably combine the cost for a weapon focus into the damn thing).

And then I gib you with an assault cannon
Let's see if a 30mm explosive just bounces off that glowstick, shall we?

yeah buy I can take my "flashlight" places your assault cannon can't go.

Chester Snapdragon McFisticuffs awaaaaay!

...zeaaaWHA?

Heh.
Inspiration comes from the strangest places, ne?

You mean like a troll shaman named "Drek" because that is what people say when they first see him?

Puck: tough as hell and bounces in and out of trouble.

Submissions are closing in 1 hour 24 minutes!

afer that give me a day (hopefully) to read through later submissions and i will post the team.

if i were you i'd play that jeapordy song over and over and over and over and over. but me, i gotta read. now again, remember there will be a lot of cuts and the choices are getting kind of tough.

Finally have everything in.

still not quite done. however, for now, we have 3 definite members of the team.

1. Raven - the girl with a sting. determined to get it all and not going to let anyone stop her this time....

2. Frag - yea, that's his name. not the most intellectual or engaging conversations you'll ever have, but he's one of the best at what he does.

3. Ballerina - This tiny little asian girl (5' 100lbs) will try to physically intimidate you if you confront her, but perhaps her bite is worse than her bark.

This will be the definite members, and i would like to say that the three of you have been running in a team for the last 8 months or so. and the others joined you in various times as well. I'm not quite starting up the OOC now, but if your chars want to go out on their first dates, and reveal what they would to someone they've been running with, then go ahead. but we are gonna have a lot of fun so far with this team.

the rest of this group is making this decision hard! not fair! some of you were supposed to make bad chars so the decisions would be easy! well, that's fine, and if i don't accept you, i may want to make you an adversary, or a featured player at times. or we could have a skirmish, with the ones that made it and the one's that didn't just to test power levels and all. the real team has to be skins though

A magician of some sort is needed for sure. Why not have us haggle it out and save you the decision? That way, you get the best magical firepower of the group.

If we go for the magical debate...

*is a ganger sorceror adept with decent social skills, but somewhat lacking in mundane combat skills* Spell list: Fireball, Levitate, Chaotic World, Improved Invisibility, Trid Phantasm, Stunbolt, and Heal.

Woo!

You know, I looked back at my sheet and realized... I could easily trade off points in Intimidation for Charisma and still end up with the same skills.

Heh, I'm such a dweeb.

Sabosect is a coyote shaman with decent social skills, lacking in mundane combat skills (but good with a certain type of pistol...), and has knowledge skills, contacts, and multiple hideouts. Spells: Heal, Powerball, Manaball, Manabolt, Physical Mask, Fireball, Armor, Detect Enemies, Stunbolt.

More combat-oriented in spell choices.

Edit: Essentially, Whizbang is good for when you need to get in unnoticed, I'm good for when you need to get out and hide.

I also suspect Whizbang left a few items out of his.

glad to be in

looking at the characters so far, we really need a rigger/heavy support character, a shaman/mage and a face?

Heavy support? Heavy support?!

Who needs that when you've got Frag!

Any slots still open for application?

You're just too late. He closed application yesterday.

Thanks

*wince*
Looks like Frag fills, broadly speaking, the same niche Sigmund does...so I might be outta here.

If you finish this round of submissions and decide that you need heavy support, Rokur, I've got another character I can get to you on short notice...non-rigger, but has an effective Car (4) skill and a sedan with morphing plates, a Rating 6 Transponder Library Chip, and anti-tank missiles...

i know about the holes... and we have at least three dedicated face apps, and a lot of firepower oriented people (ranging from an assault cannon to Ares Alphas to Strato -9) but functionality won't be a problem... i just want some fun game dynamics! tension, drama, hate, love trust, and mistakes. these are what fuel good runs. not just team efficiency, that's the easy part to figure out.

again, groups change too. if the team boots someone for distrust or a bad mistake, the ones that are cut here will defiinitely be asked to fill in again.

and don't worry sigmund you're still in the game (how can a guy with a custom assault cannon, a custom assault rifle, and a nasty pistol be considered the same as an ugly troll carrying a big stick? (no offense frag ))

It's a Spiked Mace, thank you very much.

An ugly troll carrying a big stick frightens me. Imagine the look on Lone Star faces as the bullets bounce off his hide while he's charging into battle, letting out a scream of fury so primal humanity lacks a word to describe it, swinging his big stick before him.

Ah, good.
I guess I worry too much.

Spiked Mace!

Sheesh guys, get it right!

Something tells me you'll be needing that cyberskull soon...

Nah. All he have to do is keep out of the stick's range and run fast.

Edit: Was I having a stroke while I typed this?

You mean stay at least two meters away? Heheheheheh...

Drat, should've gone for a very long weapon to give me a total reach of 3.

*pulls out the tension cutting knife, and keys the drum roll*

Ladies and gentlemen, humans and metas, and everyone else.... the moment you all have been waiting for.

believe me the decision was not very easy but the team is:
Sabosect wins the magic spot
The Nerd wins the Face spot
Ballerina covert ops
Rip is our rigger
Sigmund Dunlevy is the merc
Cinder is a utility sammy
Raven is the long gun/ sammy
Frag is our neighborhood melee tank

that makes it a big ole team of 8

sorry to the rest again, but i may have some need for you later....

anyway moving it along.... to the ooc!

HUZZAH!

...firepower out the yingyang!

we got a start date?

probably survive an attack from you in your sleep
