I'd be game for some "prequel" RP, until the rest gets their characters ready and approved.

Out of curiosity, could someone help me build my character? I've never played Shadowrun before, and I don't have any materials on it other than reading the wikipedia page on it. Spider said he was going to help me, but I haven't really heard anything from him.

I can help with Character Gen too. -el free to PM me.

Starfox

Oh, Paladin, what's your character's Street/cover name?

Paladin


Spider

Im waiting a bit for muse and dandy, I hope they get their chars together soon.

I want to know who knows who for starters :) Its alright if you are all perfect strangers, it usually starts that way. You get hired in cause you have the skills needed for a job, then it turns out you work more or less well together and well then you become more or less established as a unit :)

A short note or pm on your contacs would help for future story hooks. Also all of you will get a Fixer
loyalty 4 resources 5 for free.

His name is Marty, an excentric troll. More info will be given once the game starts up as you will all be introduced to him and his quirks.

Starfox

So Keiko knows him as Darkknight. (Or maybe the chinese translation? I ran dark and knight through the dictionary, there are several ways, I like 'An Shi')

Starfox

Keiko and Darkknight know each other, but not as runners (though Darknight may be aware of some of her past and/or enhancements).

Other characters could know her as well, up to them.

I updated the contacts on Keiko's wiki sheet (http://sr-characters.wikispaces.com/Keiko).

And would you mind Spider, if Paladin and myself would start some pre-game roleplay while we wait?

I went over the charactre, here are my thoughts:

Attributes are a bit off – Agility 5 is the racial maximum for a troll, so it needs 15 more points, making the total cost go above the cap of 200. I would softmax it to 4, then raise it with Bioware. Strength I’d drop to 7, raising body to 9 – that loses 1 DV in melee damage, but gives more dice to soak damage.
Essence is 2 (since the lower of the totals of essence costs from cyber/bioware only counts half for essence loss). Edge reduced to 1 (no points left for 4)

Active skills I’d change too – I’d raise firearms, dropping 2 ranks in athletics and compensating for that with a synthacardium (gives bonus to athletics). I’d also shift two points from bike to blades. I’d also shift one point from Perception to Infiltration, compensating with an attention co-processor.

Depending on background, I’d pick chinese instead of Japanese to go with the triad knowledge skill. Or’zet is a rather young language, known since about 8 years, so not sure if one would have been raised with that language – could switch English to native, and Or’zet to 3.

Qualities
High Pain Tolerance costs 5 per rank, so it’s rank 1 not 3.

Gear (50 bp)
3 months of middle lifestyle cost 15000, so reduce it to one month.
The Ceska is a machine pistol. I’d replace it with an SMG, the Ingram Smartgun, and drop the laser sight – redundant with smartlinks. I’d buy an Ares Alpha assault rifle with an integrated grenade launcher (add a gas-vent 3 recoil compensation) as well instead of the Armtech MGL – that’s a grenade launcher, and needs a skill the character lacks. I’d drop the DocWagon platinum, I never saw anyone get saved by it. I’d replace the Fairlight Caliban with a Transsys Avalon, almost the same, but saves 3’000.
Add form-fitting body armor level two (Arsenal p. 48) for more armor that can be worn with the jacket.

Cyberware
The eyes are missing low-light and thermographic vision. That’s very important, and dirt cheap, so I’d spend 2500 nuyen upgrading them to rating 4 and putting those two in. As mentioned, I’d add an attention coprocessor for +3 to perception tests (Augmentation p. 36).

Bioware
I’d add a synthacardium rating 3 for 30’000, adds 3 to all athletics tests. Also reflex recorders for firearms and blades.

Final Dicepools would be:

Sorry about the confusion on Devilstrikes character good man so lets start

Attributes are a bit off – Agility 5 is the racial maximum for a troll, so it needs 15 more points, making the total cost go above the cap of 200. I would softmax it to 4, then raise it with Bioware. Strength I’d drop to 7, raising body to 9 – that loses 1 DV in melee damage, but gives more dice to soak damage.
Essence is 2 (since the lower of the totals of essence costs from cyber/bioware only counts half for essence loss). Edge reduced to 1 (no points left for 4)

Agility is including the Cyberware so that 5 is Modified. It was 3 beforehand.
Strength is also Modified by cyberware. It was 8 beforehand.
The body is fine in my opinion. She's got so much armor its not funny and her qualities help with taking damage.

Active skills I’d change too – I’d raise firearms, dropping 2 ranks in athletics and compensating for that with a synthacardium (gives bonus to athletics). I’d also shift two points from bike to blades. I’d also shift one point from Perception to Infiltration, compensating with an attention co-processor.

She dosn't want firearms as much as blades.

Qualities
High Pain Tolerance costs 5 per rank, so it’s rank 1 not 3. High pain tolerace is paid for with 15 points so she has level 3.

Gear (50 bp)
3 months of middle lifestyle cost 15000, so reduce it to one month.
The Ceska is a machine pistol. I’d replace it with an SMG, the Ingram Smartgun, and drop the laser sight – redundant with smartlinks. I’d buy an Ares Alpha assault rifle with an integrated grenade launcher (add a gas-vent 3 recoil compensation) as well instead of the Armtech MGL – that’s a grenade launcher, and needs a skill the character lacks. I’d drop the DocWagon platinum, I never saw anyone get saved by it. I’d replace the Fairlight Caliban with a Transsys Avalon, almost the same, but saves 3’000.
Add form-fitting body armor level two (Arsenal p. 48) for more armor that can be worn with the jacket.

She wanted the Ceska, and once again is not big on firearms. As for using Arsenal she dosn't have any of the books so I kept her to the main book.

Cyberware
The eyes are missing low-light and thermographic vision. That’s very important, and dirt cheap, so I’d spend 2500 nuyen upgrading them to rating 4 and putting those two in. As mentioned, I’d add an attention coprocessor for +3 to perception tests (Augmentation p. 36).


Once again she has no expansion books. as for thermalgraphic I forgot about the fact she loses her natural Theral because her eyes are replaced so yea that makes sense.

The rest looks good.

Diabolus Lupus

*looks between Palli and Star* Are you two trying to confuse the newbie here?

Paladin

Not really. Star is using things from the expansion books that you and I did not use. He does have a few Valid points though.

Starfox

Yes. Though not that many - Shadowrun's core book is pretty much enough for all the essential stuff.
