Background:

I like the Shadowrun setting and want to skip over rules stuff.

This game will be about a group of new runners, possibly working together for the first time.  They are new to the shadowrunning, but they are all competent at what they do.  They would all be career changers, with some kind of background involving the military, corporations, law enforcement, organized crime, gangs, etc.

I want to play fast and loose.  It's up to you if your character succeeds or fails, hits or misses, lives or dies.  Do whatever works in terms of drama or comedy.  Just don't go overpowered with your character - they have to be a part of a whole, and less a unit in and of themselves.

The character generation below is less about balance and more about just getting the essentials across to other players so that the RP can get going up front.  Feel free to share backgrounds.  At the very least, all the characters have a common fixer.

This game would go under the extreme category because of the unusual possibilities.  At this point at least one game will be relatively vanilla and light.

I have a few runs in mind, but I don't need a balanced party.  If we had all combat monkeys, I would find a way to make it work.  Basically, the adventures would center around what the characters are able to do.  Feel like writing combat scenes?  Play a Street Samurai or Gunslinger Adept.  Want to depict magic?  Play a Combat Mage or Street Shaman.  Want cool scenes sneaking into a place or fast talking your way through it?  Cover Ops Specialist or Face.

Please express your interest, and include a character answering the following questions:

  Hi  Vin.  I really enjoyed the brief pathfinder game you ran.  I'm not so much into freeform, but maybe I'd give it a shot. 

  Do you intend to have a healthy dose of eroticism?  How could a player encourage that?  (For example, a character who uses her whiles to help accomplish a mission?  Or would it be more fun to have a (relative) innocent ripe for sexual corruption?)

Hey, thanks!

I like the way you think.  A Face using their seduction skills definitely works.  Or a mage creating convincing illusions for sexual distractions.

I was going to include aspects of bondage and NC.  The team could meet a Johnson at a BDSM club, for example.  Or the team could interact with sex slaves, including bunraku.  Or a pack of hellhounds in heat could have their way with cornered female runner.  Cast spells and conjured spirits can have sexual aspects, too.  There could also be interactions in virtual reality.  If anyone wants a particular scene, we'll find a way to get it in.

[Cold Heritage]

Would it be okay if someone were to play a male and not want that male to get raped?

[MzHyde]

Too bad I don't know anything about Shadowrun, this looks interesting.

[vin26m]

Would it be okay if someone were to play a male and not want that male to get raped?

Of course.

Nothing will happen to characters without the consent of their players.

[vin26m]

Too bad I don't know anything about Shadowrun, this looks interesting.

It's a futuristic cyberpunk setting mixed with fantasy.  The characters are typically hired to do jobs that corporations (or other organizations) need done but do not want direct connection with.  Typically, there's a meeting about the job, research about the job, execution of the job itself, and another meeting to get paid.

If you name a character from some other story, I can make you a character like them.

[Keelan]

Hm... I might be up for this.  Love me some SR!

[Niki315]

I'm totally interested.  I love Shadowrun.  I actually made an SR-based character not too long ago for a game that died out pretty quickly.  I was thinking about just adapting her for this game. 

[Jaded]

Street Name: One Shot
Female Human Bounty Hunter
Agility and Reaction, Charisma and Willpower
Combat (Firearms), Social
Wired Reflexes, Reaction Enhancers
Cavalier Arms Sheriff, Ultimax 68, Monofilament Sword
Armor Clothing, Bodysuit, fake SIN, fake Licenses, middle lifestyle
Fixer, Arms Dealer, Bounty Provider
Caucasian, Straight

My ons would include multiple male partners, being temporary enslaved, noncon, and similar. 

-=-=-

I’ll work on a background later, I just wanted to express my interest.  I see her as very good with her gun, and decent at charming people.  I am also thinking she may have some sort of mysterious implant, or be heavily in debt to another character.

I like her!  Consider her approved.

Questions:

The Cavalier Arms Sheriff - is it a heavy pistol?  What book is it from?  It's okay if it's made up - I have a lot of Shadowrun books but not the more recent ones.  I didn't see that gun anywhere.

Same with the Ultimax 68.  Is that an assault rifle with a suppressor, which would usually be forbidden but is only restricted?  Like a big brother to the Ingram Smartgun X?

I will most probably be playing Taylor, who is not combat-oriented and could use someone like One Shot to keep him safe.  Maybe Taylor did a favor for One Shot and she owes him?

Taylor once worked for the yakuza.  Maybe One Shot was kidnapped to be a bunraku joygirl and Taylor helped her escape the life.



Edit:  Feel free to start posting.  IC and OOC links are in the first post of this thread.

[Jaded]

Cavalier Arms Sheriff is a (9R) heavy pistol from Gun Heaven.  A high powered revolver basically.  The Ultimax 68 is an assault rifle (9R) from the same book, and does come with a suppressor I believe.  I may change that one though,  I'm not entirely happy with it.  I can change both if you don't have Gun Heaven.

That could work.  She doesn't really remember it, but still has the implants for personafix chips.

[Blobbe]

I'd be intrerested in this game but only if there's no NC content.

[Callie Del Noire]

Interested.

How about non-lethal items, like stun batons, tasers, shock hands, net guns.  Sometimes the bounty has to be alive.  Would she be open to hunting paranormal animals as well as people?

I like the idea of her using a revolver.  Instead of an assault rifle, maybe she uses a shotgun and/or a sporting rifle.

Personafix chips... such possibilities.

[vin26m]

I'd be intrerested in this game but only if there's no NC content.

I initially had something weird in mind, but I'm willing to run the game around what the players want.  Basically, I would personalize it to each player, giving their characters chances to shine.

I could run a different game, a second game, or someone else can run a game using the same pool of characters.

I had a few runs in mind:

1)  Break into a lab and steal something. 
2)  Kidnap a celebrity, hold them, and keep them alive.
3)  Work for DocWagon while conducting an investigation.

After seeing your preferences, I have some ideas for you that would depend on the kind of character you would want to play and what kind of run you would be into.

[Jaded]

She might have some gel or shock ammo.  I might swap out her assault rifle for an IZOM SS-374 pump action shotgun.  Maybe a Terracotta Arms Caravan rifle as well.

She'd be fine hunting paranormal animals.

[Blobbe]

Yeah, it's one of my 'things'. I can't be in a game with any NC stuff in it, even if it's no happening to my character. I've been looking for a good freeform/systemless SR game for a while, but If that's a problem or the like, I can pass

By "any NC stuff" do you mean "any SEXUAL NC stuff" or "GENERALLY any NC stuff?"

Are you okay with being a part of a shadowrunner crew that kidnaps a character and keeps them tied up while holding them hostage, but otherwise keeps the kidnapped character unharmed and even comfortable? 

What if the kidnapped character actually doesn't mind being kidnapped (perhaps going so far as staging their own kidnapping/extraction), and also likes to be tied up?

What kind of stuff do you want to happen in a game?

It's the NC sexual stuff I don't like; the kindapping, tying up and the like is fine and I expect it from the Genre. Should have made that clearer, sorry

Background: Abandoned at a young age by her parents, Tracy has been on her own for much of her natural life. She has spent much of that time living on the streets and learning to get things that she needs. While some might develop brute force or fall in with a gang to get the support they need, Tracy remained alone and used her natural charm and cunning to make her way in the world. Even before getting any augmentation she had a way with people that often helped her get what she needed. She is exceptional at reading people and telling them what they want to hear. As she grew up she became fond of con games, using her cleverness and some wordplay to get what she wanted, often playing upon someone's vanity, kindness, or ignorance to trick them. As she augmented herself she also began using her enhancements in combination with her skills to help her get into areas she shouldn't be in. Once inside, she has a knack for acting natural and blending in. While not much of a fighter, she can still defend herself with a knife and is a fairly good shot with a pistol. Tracy has a reputation for being able to get people the things they need; for a price. She is motivated by money and has managed to build a fairly comfortable lifestyle for herself. She has the presence of mind to not take things too far, lest she attract too much attention.

Offs: Non-Con, BDSM, Bathroom Play

Well, hopefully I did that right. I was trying to go for a combination thief/con artist type. Let me know what I need to fix.

Works for me.  Let me know what you end up settling on.

Contacts:

Her father and brothers...trust me it counts.

Personality:
Scarlet is hot head, stubborn, wild, brash, and probably less tactful then she really should be. She is the type of woman to never back down from a fight, and only go down because she can no longer stand. Loyal to a fault with those that have earned her trust. And quick to react when she is crossed, hell hath no fury like a woman scorned was written for Scarlet. Though she isn't all fury and fire, she has a soft spot for the kids of the area. Taking care of them as she can. And she is a passionate woman as well, all her fire isn't spent in combat. No when you get this vixen to bed she gives probably better then she gets. But don't be surprised if she slips out in the night so avoid that awkward morning conversation. She has never really gotten romantically close to anyone, though she loved to meet the man crazy enough to try. She drinks, she fights, she fucks, and has a damn good time while she does it all.

Background:
There is no sad back story to Scarlett; the saddest thing to happen was the death of her mother. Her mother passed away giving birth to her. It saddened her to never be able to know her personally. But she was told countless stories about her from the rest of her family. Scarlett grew up the runt of the litter. Her size...or lack thereof and softer looking form did bring up questions about who her father was. None that Scarlett ever cared about, her father was just that her father...and her brothers were annoying as hell. So no matter the truth of it all, she had her family. And that would never change.

So six brothers and her father raised this little girl. You can imagine how messed up everything got at times. Heck when she came into puberty all hell broke loss in her house. Not only because of her anger and like of throwing things. But because her father and brothers had no idea what to get her or how to deal with it. Thankfully they had friends...female friends. They helped show Scarlett the how to's of being a woman. And her father made sure that her brothers knew how to bash and smash any boy that came near her. So one can image how hard it was to get a date. Not only because she was a troll, but also because of the shear fear of her family.

One can only imagine why Scarlett ended up so rough and tumble. Brash, bold, wild, and stubborn anger that could rival any of her brothers. Though her father still couldn't be matched. You wouldn't like him when he was angry. And his kids knew well enough to get the heck out the way when it happened. Like her father you wouldn't like Scarlett when she is angry. Granted she hasn't learned to control her temper as well as her father, she has been known to get into trouble from time to time. But still at the end of the day Scarlett can normally laugh it off, though sometimes it does take a few drinks...or a really good fuck to get her there. Not that she complains about any of it. Now she is set to make her own name, and prove she can handle herself despite her smaller troll stature.

Her father and brothers...trust me it counts.

Personality:
Scarlet is hot head, stubborn, wild, brash, and probably less tactful then she really should be. She is the type of woman to never back down from a fight, and only go down because she can no longer stand. Loyal to a fault with those that have earned her trust. And quick to react when she is crossed, hell hath no fury like a woman scorned was written for Scarlet. Though she isn't all fury and fire, she has a soft spot for the kids of the area. Taking care of them as she can. And she is a passionate woman as well, all her fire isn't spent in combat. No when you get this vixen to bed she gives probably better then she gets. But don't be surprised if she slips out in the night so avoid that awkward morning conversation. She has never really gotten romantically close to anyone, though she loved to meet the man crazy enough to try. She drinks, she fights, she fucks, and has a damn good time while she does it all.

Background:
There is no sad back story to Scarlett; the saddest thing to happen was the death of her mother. Her mother passed away giving birth to her. It saddened her to never be able to know her personally. But she was told countless stories about her from the rest of her family. Scarlett grew up the runt of the litter. Her size...or lack thereof and softer looking form did bring up questions about who her father was. None that Scarlett ever cared about, her father was just that her father...and her brothers were annoying as hell. So no matter the truth of it all, she had her family. And that would never change.

So six brothers and her father raised this little girl. You can imagine how messed up everything got at times. Heck when she came into puberty all hell broke loss in her house. Not only because of her anger and like of throwing things. But because her father and brothers had no idea what to get her or how to deal with it. Thankfully they had friends...female friends. They helped show Scarlett the how to's of being a woman. And her father made sure that her brothers knew how to bash and smash any boy that came near her. So one can image how hard it was to get a date. Not only because she was a troll, but also because of the shear fear of her family.

One can only imagine why Scarlett ended up so rough and tumble. Brash, bold, wild, and stubborn anger that could rival any of her brothers. Though her father still couldn't be matched. You wouldn't like him when he was angry. And his kids knew well enough to get the heck out the way when it happened. Like her father you wouldn't like Scarlett when she is angry. Granted she hasn't learned to control her temper as well as her father, she has been known to get into trouble from time to time. But still at the end of the day Scarlett can normally laugh it off, though sometimes it does take a few drinks...or a really good fuck to get her there. Not that she complains about any of it. Now she is set to make her own name, and prove she can handle herself despite her smaller troll stature.

Does this actually use the rules of the game or just the setting?

There will be no NC sexual stuff in this run.  All sex will be consensual. 

This is because MzHyde also has NC as an off, and you have been interested but also have NC as an off.

If future runs contain any NC sex elements, I will let you know ahead of time.

I guess I want to apply for this roleplay as well.

Street Name: Waltz (because he is one of the few men who can actually dance)
WASPy male human bodyguard/escort
Age: 42, looks early 30ish
Primary attributes: Charisma and Willpower(Intuition if I could be allowed to swap)
Secondary attributes: Agility and Reaction
Primary Skillset: Social (influence, intimidation, etiquette)
Secondary Skillset: Combat (close combat, firearms, throwing weapons)
Cyberware: Cybershunt, Zeiss Mk.5 full-spectrum cybereyes, Shiawase Lynx Reception Enhancers, Hitachi Magic Hand massage fingers and palms, Ares Assegai bedroom performance enhancer implant
Bioware: Shiawase Rattlesnake security-grade synaptic accelerator, Shiawase Lionheart synthacardium, Chanel Titan male-line tailored pheromones, Renraku Shockley trauma damper, Shiawase Lemonfresh sanitized metabolism, Dr. Hiamase Werewolf perfected looks, Tintonics Pleasureware Cockaine testicular chemical gland (producing a mildly addictive euphoric drug)
Weapons: Defiance Supershock Taser, Ares Predator, H&K Executive Protection suitcase SMG
Gear: Form fitting body armor under an Actioneer armored business suit, Genuine SIN, HTR Doc Wagon contract, middle class lifestyle, plastic handcuffs, area jammer, medkit, travel-packed suitcase with clothes and personal necessities, Intimacy line bag of toys
Contacts: Fixer, Nightclub owner, 2XCorporate Executive, Upstreet doc, Men’s outfitter
Sexual Orientation: Straight

Ons: Dubious consent, Ds, power plays, mild to moderate humiliation, romance, sexual enslavement, tease-and-denial, pleasure control, sexy wear/sex wear, techno-toys

Off: Bestiality, sex without an ‘attitude’














Background:
Waltz – Walter Hargrove – was trained by Guntherson Security in police work and he worked the beat for about ten years before being discharged over a personal ‘involvement’ with a superior. Like many ex-cops, he hired on with the personal protection industry and worked as a regular bodyguard for a few years, picking up on society skills, etiquette and even dance. He quickly earned himself a reputation as being a reliable polite and ‘compatible & forthcoming’ protection provider for travelling female executives. Finally, when he had a name for himself and a client base he could take with him, he left the firm he was with and struck out on his own, styling himself an ‘escort’ in the truest sense of the word. Waltz provided an executive level of protection for the modern, high-achieving, high-strung travelling executive without time for a social life...along with ‘executive benefits’. Business was good until one his clients was abducted on his watch. The lack of a fight and the fact that she had made sure that he had had more than enough to drink the night before pointed to a consenting ‘extraction’, instead of a real abduction, but his reputation was sullied nonetheless. With a quickly evaporating client base, Waltz was forced to look for other security work, taking anything available to pay off his implant&enhancement loans. For the wearer of a synthacardium, being repossessed is not really an option. 

Personality:
Waltz is a veritable social chameleon, being able to be pleasant company for almost anyone. He blends in very well in the upper circles of society but, despite his more humble roots, his gear and the demeanor he has picked up on the job might make him stand out in the slums and barrens.

Naturally, he has knack for putting women at ease and is usually able to anticipate their every wish but, privately, he has been yearning for a relationship where he actually gets to call the shots. Even if a client requested a session with whips, handcuffs and pretend-rape – much more common than you would think – it was still her telling him what to do and the nature of his work left little room for an outside relationship. Before his last protection job went south, he was thinking about ways to make his business 'relationships' more favorable in this respect. For now, he has to take the jobs as they come, but in the long run he intends to return to his previous 'escort' business model - though maybe with a little tweak.

Skills:
Owing to his experience and enhancements, it is very hard to get the drop on Waltz. Similarly, also owing to his experience and enhacements, it is very hard not to fall for his charms.
Waltz is not a street-sam, but he can hold his own in a gun or fist-fight, usually long enough for backup to arrive. His armor and gear - while lightweight and smaller calliber than is getting more and more common on the street - are top-notch. However, he is rather ignorant on matters of the sixth and the wireless world. His expertise goes only as far as necessary for his job, mostly concerning the dangers of surveillance from these sources along with the occassional 'recreational' use. For anything else, he is, at best, a user of technology, not its master.

1.  What's your character look like?
--6’3” and sleek with amber skin, a purple pony tail, and golden eyes with black rims.  He dresses very well, often in western suits, but sometimes in the neo-Japanese fashions that are currently in vogue. 

2.  What's your street name?
--Z Z

3.  What's your gender?
--Male

4. What's your metatype?
--Elf

5. What's your archetype?
--Adept

6. What is your best pair of attributes (with metatype bonuses, cyberware and magic factored in)?
--Charisma and Intuition. 

7. What is your second best pair of attributes (with metatype bonuses, cyberware and magic factored in)?
--Agility and Reaction

8. What is your best set of skills (with metatype bonuses, cyberware and magic factored in)?
--Social (influence, instruction, intimidation, etiquette) and Perception. 

9. What is your second best set of skills (with metatype bonuses, cyberware and magic factored in)?
--Bladed combat (knife specialty), Dodge, athleticism 

10.  What augmentations (cyberware and bioware) do you have?
--None, they interfere with his magical abilities. 

11.  What adept abilities do you have? (list)
--His adept abilities are heavily based on awareness and accelerated motion, but he also needs less sleep than a normal person and picks up languages very easily.  He can act twice in the times that a normal man would act once.  His supernatural awareness helps him avoid attacks (combat sense).  He has an expanded sense of smell (improved senses) and generally heightened perception.  Finally, he has perfect control over his own body language and preternatural awareness of other people’s body language, giving him a distinct social edge (kinesics.) 

12.  What magic spells do you know?
--None. 

13.  What weapons do you have? (list names if you know them, but definitely include the type of weapon if it is not obvious, such as heavy pistol or assault rifle)
--A pair of orichalcum and steel combat knives, “Weapon foci”. 
--A collection of ceramic daggers balanced for throwing. 
--An Ares predator. 
--Shock gloves.

--Though a resident of north America for several generations back, many of Z Z’s ancestors are of Asian and Polynesian descent. 

17.  What is your actual age?  How old does your character look? 
--Actualy 33, ZZ looks to be in his mid twenties. 

18.  What's your sexual orientation? 
--Straight. 

19.  What are your on's and off's? https://elliquiy.com/forums/onsoffs.php?u=16

20.  What's a basic description of your character's experience, motivation and/or reputation?
   Having grown up before Dunklezhan’s will made it possible for metahumans to get legal SIN’s, and never owning one with his real name on it, ZZ became a runner because he wanted the good life without being beholden to the corporations. 

   When he was nineteen, he got his handle from a lover/co-worker who liked late nineteenth century popular music.  Z Z is a reference to the band Z Z Top, and a song they recorded, “Every Girl’s Crazy About a Sharp Dressed Man.” 

[vin26m]

Approved except for the weapon foci.  But that's something he could always earn later.

I also changed your Charisma and Intuition to my Charisma and Willpower, just to be consistent with the current character generation rules (which may change, and if that happens I will let you tweak your character).

I simplified your skills to Social and Combat.  I will keep in mind that your character is highly perceptive.

ZZ is approved.  Feel free to start posting.  Please check the OOC link in the first post of this thread for your post header.

Name:  Gemma Mattiazi
Alias:  Angelica Avvincente
Gender:  Female
Metatype:  Human
Ethnicity: Italian
Age:  17 (appears 21)

Appearance: 
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 130 lbs.
Hair:  Brown
Eyes:  Hazel

Gemma still looks fresh and young, and with the regular skin therapy treatments, she will continue doing so for decades.  She has replaced strands of her normally dark hair with fiber-optics that she can change the color of at will.  Typically, they are a bright color to create extreme highlights.  Occasionally, she'll load up a program to shift the colors gradually over time when she's trying to catch some attention. Her eyes are unmodified but hold contact lens that load up a HUD connected wirelessly to her comm-link.  She has an attractive face with some Italian features.  Her body is very fit with breast implants capable of expanding to double their normal size. She has had treatments to permanently remove hair from her arms, pits, legs, and crotch.  She has a wardrobe full of fashionable clothing from medium to high end designers and due to her more dangerous hobbies she has gotten used to the feel of armored clothing like jackets and vests along with practical unrestrictive workout clothes.  Her tattoos are combined with some minor cybernetics and allow for a wireless link up to display different colors or pictures when it suits her mood.

Archetype: Infiltration specialist/Artist
Attributes:
1.  Intuition and Logic
2.  Agility and Reaction

Gemma's intuition is her greatest asset.  She has an artist's eye and is great at thinking on the fly.  Her logical thinking is pretty finely tuned as well.  With her minor bio-augmentations her agility and strength have been enhanced to above average, making her more formidable than she would seem at first glance.

Skills: 
1.  Social
2.  Technical

Gemma is adept at social situations, especially conning and negotiations.  With a combination of tools and disguises, she can work her way into almost any area.  Her work on editing simsense has given her a reason to look into computers, hacking, and electronics.

Augmentations:

Cyberware:
Skillwire
Simrig
Fiberoptic Hair
Alterable Breast Implants

Bioware:
Muscle Augmentation
Muscle Toner
Enhanced Articulation
Clean Metabolism
Bio-Tattoos
Silky Skin
Sensitive Skin

Most of her cyberware is superficial.  Tattoos, body treatments, breast implants, skin enhancements, and metabolism cleaner.  In addition to that she had a sim recorder implanted into her head tied into her skillwire.  By switching out skillchips she can have a moderate amount of ability in several different skill sets.  While she's no master, her adaptability can be an asset. To enhance her physical capabilities, she has had some bio-augmentation.

Weapons:

Morrissey Elite x2 (Heavy Pistol)
Ingram Smartgun (Sub-Machine Gun)
Vibro Sword

Gear:

Comm-link Transys Avalon with Novatech Navi OS
Programs
B&E tool kit
Ford Spiral
Fake SIN x3

Gemma lives a high lifestyle with some mafia connections.  The gear she owns primarily relates to her hobby which is simsense directing.  A state-of-the-art comm-link and OS with dozens of programs for writing and editing, a few others to protect her skill-wire from outside access, and a select few that she uses to gain access to private nodes to assist in hacking defenses. She has a small set of B&E tools that she has acquired from minor jobs in the past.  Her primary fake SIN that she uses to conduct most of her business on is Angelica and she has had a few other fake SINs to gain access to restricted areas.  She has a sports car and can call for a driver when necessary.

Contacts: 

Doctor Octorok - an online friend she frequently taps for programs, matrix advice, and accessing nodes. He has been hugely helpful in finding places for her to store the large amonuts of data she tends to store from her simsense recordings.

Mick - a heavyset Irish fixer who points her in the direction of guns, cyberware, and equipment she needs.  He also connects her with missions that would accomodate her goal of unique simsense recordings.

Angelo Mattiazzi - Her uncle and current guardian is a litigator who specializes in corporate law.  He also happens to be a consiglieri for the mafia.  Though he disapproves of her current behavior, his family is still important so he bails her out of trouble regularly.

Findley - A fixer contact that has helped her out in the past and knows Gemma on a personal level.  She has sort of become an observer for him and a backup runner when the times call for it. 

Jack and the Red Nines - Jack is Gemma's contact with the gang the Red Nines.  She has helped them with some minor B&E jobs, jacking cars, and getting information.  She is on pretty good terms with the gang and they might be willing to repay a few favors if she calls them in.

Bright Black - A Matrix contact that acts a sort of agent for Gemma's recordings.  He sells and distributes simsense, for a cut of course.  As such, he has a lot of contacts online and has directed Gemma to other directors in the past for pointers.  Gemma feels she owes Bright Black a lot, but he feels the cut he takes from her sales is payment enough.  Plus, being the distributor he gets free copies of her work anyway.

Orientation: Straight
Ons and Offs: Gemma is primarily into hot, rich guys.  If a guy shows a bit of class, it tends to put him on her radar.  In the bedroom almost nothing is off limits and she loves taking commands and being generally submissive, despite her typical outward demeanor.  Gemma also finds sex with BTLs incredibly enjoyable.  Though she hasn't done it for a while, she used to perform for multiple partners and wants to get back to that.  Though her memories of it are pretty hazy, she has experienced bukkake and kind of remembers it fondly and might want to try it again.

History: Gemma's family has always had mob connections.  The Italian mafia just isn't what it used to be.  Her parents got into trouble and while they are facing jail time, her uncle has become her caretaker.  Her uncle is a lawyer that frequently advises the mafia and has made a killing litigating for corporates that just want problems to go away.  While she was younger, she was pushed toward gymnastics and other hobbies suitable for a young girl.  Over the years she started to meet up with other circles.

Gemma's uncle doesn't want her to get involved with the riff raff she has been running with, but he has little control over her whims.  Her primary aspiration is to get into simsense direction, a technology that allows entertainment to activate all the senses rather than just auido and visual.  Gemma has had a top of the line implant placed in her brain to record and control sensory input and output allowing her to receive simsense signals and write them to files that anyone with the proper equipment can enjoy.  In order to gain access to storage space for some of these files Gemma has begun chatting online with some clever hackers and owes a few favors.  Her other hobbies include breaking and entering with the Red Nines.  She has a dozen or so recordings of intense nights running with the gang. 

By loading programs into her implant she can react slightly faster than average and improve her already exceptional coordination.  She spent a small fortune on a vibro-sword and can load the sensory data of a sword fighter to become an above average street fighter, though she doesn't stand a chance against actual street sams.  She can also load up separate personas allowing her to act as other people flawlesssly.  This has been used against her in the past, and now she has firewall programs to protect her from this.

Now that she's nearly 18, Gemma is looking to make an actual name for herself.  She wants to get into actual runs with professionals to learn the trade and record the experience.  Though she hasn't run against corporates yet, her experiences with gangs and small time operations have proven successful.

She's approved.  I have to see how about fitting her in, though.

[Niki315]

She'd probably fit in best if one of the other characters was mentoring her.  Since she's an up and comer and not into corporate runs yet, she might just be a project for one of the other characters.

[Tamhansen]

I'll be happy to pick her up. She sounds like someone who'd make a great face.

[MzHyde]

The group is already very big, do you really want even more players to keep track of?

[Niki315]

That's kind of what i was worried about: adding to an already large group.  I can back off for the time being and based on how things go maybe you can call me in later.

[vin26m]

Having completed the first shadowrun, the game is open to new characters.

[vin26m]

I am considering starting this game up again in the next couple of weeks.

If you are interested in joining, post interest and potential characters here.

[Dracorion]

Definitely interested, though I'll have to wait to get home to post a character.

Are you allowing SURGE-modified characters? Because I've been wanting to play a native wolf-futa shaman in the cyberpunk future.  XD

Interesting.  We were using pretty normal characters.  Not sure if anyone else would be willing to go that route.

I'm open-minded.  What's your idea with the shaman?

[Dracorion]

Well, the idea is that Kanae Akecheta comes from a native american tribe deep in the forest. Due to a long time of communion and exposure to spirit and magical effects and stuff, SURGE is a fairly common occurrence in the tribe, and they embrace it wholly. Awakened individuals are less widespread in the village, and they're usually titled shamans to a particular beast spirit or element, usually based on their SURGE expressions. The village is presided and safeguarded by a powerful wolfish beast spirit, and the Wolf Shaman who represents it is considered the village's spiritual leader.

Kanae comes from a line of wolf changelings, with her mother being the last Wolf Shaman, though she died giving birth to Kanae. This left the village without a spiritual leader, so Kanae was groomed since her childhood to become the next Wolf Shaman. She grew up to be a jerk all around; of course, if you were told you were going to lead your people and were blessed by the wolf god, the power might go to your head too.

It was a tradition in the village for the Wolf Shaman to leave their home and learn the ways of the world, as a means of expanding their horizons and understanding. Kanae was also sent on this quest, as the villagers hoped it would cool her heels and get her feet wet in the outside world. If that didn't work, then at least everyone in the village gets to breathe easy while she's gone.

[Blinkin]

I'm intrigued, but have to ask a couple of questions before it evolves into actual interest.

I have next to no experience with the later editions of Shadowrun. I played for about a year way back in 2nd ed or something like that, but the game has moved well beyond that. I only have a partial players guide (damned PDF's!) and so, I'm not sure at all what I would be doing in character creation.

Ok, the two things that may be a deal breaker for you.

1. I'm blind, so a pic of any kind is going to be beyond me. I'll describe a character's appearance in all the detail that you want, but that's the best that I can do.

2. As mentioned, I know next to nothing about the system, even freeform. If someone would be willing to help me work out the details, I would like to play a sniper with some in close capabilities. I suppose this is a Weapons Specialist. I have a fairly decent backstory; it's the character details that I'm going to be sucking vacuum on.

So... can we compromise on something?

Hmm, okay.  I'm intrigued.  What kinds of spells does she know?  Do you want to play her as a shadowrunner?

We've RP'ed on a Pathfinder game, before, Blinkin.

Send me whatever you have in mind and I'll fill in the blanks for you.

[Blinkin]

We have? *thumping head to rattle the marbles around again* Well... I really need to start a database so that I can keep up with everyone. lol

Let me work out the history a bit more, and I'll PM the concept to you.

[Dracorion]

Hmm, okay.  I'm intrigued.  What kinds of spells does she know?  Do you want to play her as a shadowrunner?

Spell-wise, she would know Lightning Bolt, Stunball, Detect Magic, Heal, Increased Attribute Agility and Reaction, Armor, Astral Armor, Calm Animal, Physical Barrier and Mana Barrier. I'd be willing to drop some if you think that's too many spells.

And yeah, Kanae would be a shadowrunner, because she needs to earn money to support her quest to learn everything civilization has to offer. One of her contacts would be a low-level fixer with a heart of gold and angelic patience who would teach her the basics of operating technology and hook her up with basic gear in exchange for muscle, and possibly sex.

[Blinkin]

Is there such a thing as a fixer with a heart of gold? They usually have neyen in their eyes. hehehe
