Books Allowed:
Shadowrun 3rd Edition

Anything that isn't in those books, I will not allow.

I'm looking for a decent background and personality. This doesn't mean I want excessive, 10 page bios, however I do expect 2 pages minumum. I'd also suggest putting at least a little bit of effort into contacts. But this will be done on generation.

Players have until 31-01 to turn in sheets, I'll be accepting the best sign-ups based on bio, regardless of how the team would normally work out. As the last year the characters would be working as a team.

Born in the jungles of Kenya, Xola was often considered by most people to be a stocky pigmy. Very few in the region, where the average height for a human is under 5 feet, realized that the dwarf was even a seperate race. Whereas Elves, Orcs and especially Trolls were treated quite differently, dwarves were treated much like Elves would be in the taller countries. Life for Xola was nice, although lacking the menial labor of other cultures, the pigmies made a good life from hunting and surviving easily in the most hostile of places. His family loved him, and his affinity for magic made for easy rising of status for the family. By the age of 24, Xola was completely at peace with the world, his Leopard totem seem to purr from such contentment. Before the age of 25 though, his world was turned upside down. White Hunters came into the forest of his people, killing everyone they saw, and stealing from the small village cave, the most sacred heirloom of their ancestors, a statue of the mother goddess. All of his family was killed in the seemingly random attack, leaving Xola with no room for anything in his heart except revenge. He tracked the murderers down within minutes, and from the protection of the forest, personally killed every one of them, but not before finding out from one of them that they'd been hired from a rather wealthy french entrepreneur who happened to also be a religious artifact collector. Xola spent the next few years of his life learning about the "outside" world, a dispicable place where man pushed nature as far as he could from his home. After years of searching, learning the subtle arts of hitchhiking, and squatting in the process, he found his family's killer, the one who hired the assassins. He sat outside the walled world that his enemy laid within, and waited until Leopard took him to a part of the wall that was being breached. Although tensions ran high at first, the Runners who were repaying the enemies negative karma by stealing that which was his, allowed Xola to sneak in with them, to avenge his family. The french lord ended his dream that night by being gutted like a pig, and desecrated like only a pagan could do. Only after having quenched his thirst for revenge did Xola realize within his soul what precisely he'd done. Since then he's sworn to never take another life, and not be so completely swallowed by such negative emotions. He has returned to Africa to cleanse his soul of the evil he's performed in the name of revenge, and although he has no family anymore, he hopes to find peace here. (Continuation of story when another player has something that I can attach to).
