[Poindexter]

Ok, folks! Here's where you can start posting character sheets, figuring out who's gonna be prime runners, who's gonna be standard, who's gonna be street, who's gonna be on whose team, who's a lone wolf at the start of things, how you know eachother, if you know eachother, ALL that good shit. I'll put up a list of teams and yall figure out who's what and what teams they're on. I trust yall can handle this all on your own like adults, but if not, one of the GMs will be along to sort it all out.

Have fun yall!

TEAM ONE (PRIME)
Lusis as Luz
Ishadel as Cinder
Ravensoracle as Alex

TEAM TWO (MIXED)
Blazrath as Sinbad
Marcus as Helios

TEAM THREE (MIXED)


TEAM FOUR (MIXED)


TEAM FIVE (STREET)
Scawire as Dark Chi


Keep in mind that even though these lists look all official and whatnot, they are not. They may be changed at any time with little or no notice, nor reason given. This is NOT first come first serve, even though it may look that way toward the beginning.

oh yeah!
also, lets do a list of contacts. Once you've got one fleshed out, post it up here and it'll be added to the list. Common contacts will only make the whole thing more immersive and realistic. After all, how many street docs ARE there in one city, y'know?

YAY
Ok gents lets chat!
Wanna start with purposed characters?
Here is my concept-
http://forums.shadowruntabletop.com/index.php?topic=17511.0

After that a couple quick thoughts-

Do we want to purpose any kinds of systematic trusses? (IE Something don't got past +3d6 init? Don't take your resistance rolls above 20?)
These sorts of things can help keep the field balanced, if some goes to far one direction it can endanger their team.

Common Contacts?

Where do we hang out in New Orleans, what's the in "Club" the "Bar" the "Datahaven"?

What can we as Runners in the big easy do to set our' cities shadows apart from those other shadows?

Jump in Guys the threads feels fine.

Just for the purposes of keeping track-

[Scawire]

Here is my character
I was thinking Standard Build and team 2,3, or 4
How he might know people
1) his skill in Shadow Community to know people in the shadows.
2) Other mages he might know if they all go to the same Awakened Only Club in New Orleans. (Just an idea for mages) or another club would work too. Maybe after we get our characters up we should come up with a few clubs we could be known from.

Background
Kaito is a Japanese Elf born to a single mother. Kaito’s mother lived on the streets of New Orleans. At a young age Kaito’s Mother met a member of a Shinto temple, who was gracious enough take the two into the Shinto Temple to live. Well any place seemed better than the streets, and it was. Kaito and his mother lived at a Shinto Temple just west of New Orleans. At the temple Kaito was able to play with other kids and get an education. When Kaito’s magic awakened the Temple shaman where able to test to see what kind of magic was flowing in the veins of Kaito. It turned out that Kaito was a Mystic Adept and the Temple trained him in the ways of magic. Growing up at the temple Kaito was able to make a few friends that to this day are still his friends. Kaito’s two friends now work in New Orleans, one runs a magic shop the other cybered himself up and runs a Street doc clinic. Kaito was drawn more to investigative work, the temple was able to get him a bit of schooling in his field of interest. Also once done his studies a Shinto Master at the Temple was able to get Kaito in touch with a Mage Detective working in the New Orleans area. It turns out the Shinto Temple had some underground ties, the Shinto Master that got Kaito the Law enforcement contact was also able to get Kaito a Fake SIN and a Fake Private Investigator licences. This lead Kaito to get work in his field of interest investigating missing persons, cheating husbands and other small time things. One investigation lead Kaito into a den of Blood Mages the sights he saw that day still haunt his mind to this day. Getting board of the work  Private Investigating gets Kaito he has asked The Shinto Master if he could get Kaito some Shadowrunning work, with a nod the Master is now looking out for jobs that Kaito can do in the shadows.

Background
Street kid
Kaito is a Japanese Elf born to a single mother. Kaito’s Mother Cho Kuragari lived on the streets of New Orleans. Cho would have to beg for food and nuyen, and spend time sleeping in alley ways. When Kaito was only 4 years old he and his mother meet a member of a nearby Shitno Temple. What Kaito and his mother didn’t know was the Shinto monk was able to see Kaito’s mothers aura and tell that she had minor magical powers. It turned out that Cho had a very low magical adept powers she didn’t even know about. She has a magic rating of 1 with a few adept abilities, ( Danger Sense R1, Cloak R1 and Combat Sense R1).
Temple Kid
Kaito’s life at the Temple was a lot better than his life living on the streets. Kaito spent most of his time playing with a few of the other kids at the temple.  At 8 yrs old he had two main friends at the temple Kenta the same age as Kaito and Sho two years older. The three kids would play different thinks like hide and go seek, tag and from time to time would sneak around the temple pretending to be ninjas. The three also had to go to school at the temple to learn basic academic skills just like kids that had real SINs. At 10 years old and every year after the small group of kids at the temple would be tested to see if they had any magical talents. At age 11 Kenta had shown his magical abilities as a Mystic Adept. A year later Kaito showed he had the same abilitie as a Mystic Adept. The two were put into special training at the temple.

Temple Teenager
At age 13 to 18 the three best friends still hung out. When Sho didn’t show any magical talents the other two friends never rub it in that he was not awakened the three still stayed close. Sho being older than the other two was the first to leave the Temple to see the outside world. Sho went to a university where he learned medicine. The two at the temple where able to see Sho when he came back to visit the Temple and keep in contact through their comm links. When Kaito turned 18 he also left the Temple as did Kenta. Both went to different schools. Kaito was into learning about law and other things that would let him become a Private Invesigator. Kenta was more into diving greater into his magic.

School life 18 - 22
After 4 years at school the two went into their fields. Kenta started a small talismonger shop in New Orleans, and Kaito was able to get a PI licence and start digging into cases that walked into his door.
Work 22 - 31
Kaito didn’t have any wheels so he decided to ask his close friend Sho if he would help out. Sho at this time was running a small clinic and was cybered up. Sho is an excellent driver which came in handy for Kaito. Kaito split his fees for his work with Sho so the two got some extra cash from Kaito’s PI job. Well Kaito was doing his PI work one of the heads at the Shinto Temple Mr Wakahisa was able to get Kaito in contact with a local Detective named Jeff Penning. Jeff had strong ties to Mr Wakahisa in some way. Kaito was able help out with Jeff Penning work from time to time, the two are not really friends but do talk from time to time when the other could help with a problem they have. One of the jobs Jeff brought Kaito on still makes it hard for Kaito to sleep. There was a blood mage apartment that that the two stumbled on, inside there were body parts dripping blood hung on the walls that would make most people lose their lunch on the spot. The two were able to bring the blood mage down but to this day Kaito sees that apartment everytime he closes his eyes to go to sleep at night. After a few more years Kaito got bored with the PI life and wanted something new.
Into the Shadows.
At the age of 31 Kaito asked Mr Wakahisa if he was able to get Kaito some work in the field of Shadowrunning. Kaito was not sure if this was something Mr Wakahisa could do. Mr Wakahisa was able to inform Kaito this was a possibility and would get him into the Shadows as soon as he could. With the last few months passing by one which Kaito turned 32 Mr. Wakahisa has yet to get back to him, but Kaito is still hopeful.


Concept
Elf Shinto Mystic Adept, That grew up in a Temple out side of town. To bring mystic muscle, the abiltiy to stand in for a face if needed and a few other tricks up his mystic sleeves.

EDIT I changed my character to his STREET LEVEL Version so you can find it easier.
EDIT Added a bit more Background to my character.

[Poindexter]

How he might know people
1) his skill in Shadow Community to know people in the bus.
2) Other mages he might know if they all go to the same Awakened Only Club in New Orleans. (Just an idea)

Forensics (Clean Up) 2 (4) Pool 7 (9)

Religion (Shinto) 1(3) Pool 6 ( 8 )

There's also those. Not terribly common interests. If someone else shared one, they could know you through that as well.

[Scawire]

Saketaro did go to college for a small amount of time before going into P.I.ing so if they are around the same age and went to school that would work to.

If anyone else wants to grow up just west of town in the Shinto Temple that works too. Or if you visited the Temple for a short amount of time that works too.

Also for the magic based runners we could have met at different Talismongers shops around town and talked a bit.

[Scawire]

Also if you live in the same part of town, or if your lifestyle match the same building.

who's a lone wolf at the start of things

We have the option for solo runners?

Nick : Ito "Mirror" Miroku
Rank : Standard
AMS  : late 20s / Troll / M
Role : Scout / Adept Survivalist / Paranatural Advisor
Brief: A former Sydney bikie; Miro bears little of the attitude he cultivated in his youth. While still not the fastest wit, he is quicker to laugh where once he'd be reaching for a weapon, relaxed where he was short fused, and as cautious now as he was reckless before. He ascribes the change to the tutelage of a self-titled koradji he met during lockup - but he keeps anything that came after that meeting to himself. Suffice to say, there aren't any records that corroborate his tale. While ostensibly a knowledgeable paranatural advisor, Mirror refuses to take on runs that involve the twisted arts or dark spirits.
Look : A tall, solidly built troll of mixed descent, with an impressive pair of curling horns on either side of his head. Most often dressed in faded biker leathers, with symbols and a few talismans where your average biker colours would be.
Post : 2-3 times per week, on average.

[Ravensoracle]

Handle: ?
Name:  Alex Manchester
Rank: Prime
Metatype, sex, age: Orc Male 52

Role: Legwork (Detective), Infiltrator/Combat

Brief concept/history: (One or two paragraphs)

Alex grew up in Texas in a small town that was dying out when he left. He's never taken the time to look but it is probably just a bunch a decrepit buildings on some brokendown back road. He was always ready to leave when he got old enough to get out.

Once he was of age he joined the CAS Army and spent 8 years as a military policeman. After his service he bounced around for a few years. Spending time as a private detective or a guard for some small corporations. Then he joined Lonestar as a cop and moved up the ranks until he made detective. He actually spent the last 5 years until he was fired on cases involving many of the shadowrunners he works with today.

When KE won the Seattle contract from Lonestar, Alex was fired before he could work long enough to get his pension. Now he runs the shadows using his skills to stay under the radar of any police.


Appearance:

Alex is old for an orc. 52 years have been hard on him and it shows somewhat in his rough exterior. It seems his salt and pepper hair is gaining more grey by the day. His body has its share of scars and the callouses on his hands make it seem like your getting a handshake with sandpaper. 

But even at his age, Alex is known as a tough old SOB. He may not be in the same shape he was when he first started bootcamp for the CAS Army or when he started his work at Lonestar. But the old codger can still run laps around many of the younger runners today. He works hard to keep himself in shape and he's had years to train his wit. Plus the few additions added by a street doc he know has helped him keep his edge.

Expected Frequency of posting: Will try for daily M-F with a few (very infrequent) gaps of a day or two

probably not, but i imagine some of you will want to play members of already established teams, while some of you will prefer to roleplay out the forming of a team.

who knows though? We MIGHT do some solo running. This is still VERY MUCH in the planning phase and i dont wanna rule anything out.

[Lusis]

I'll throw in Luz:

I'd like to play her as a Prime Runner, please.

I think its a bad idea, to a great extent as each lone runner sinks a team's number by 1. Unless we simply want to declare one of the teams the Lone wolf team?
How many folks want to do lone runners?

It's really tempting,  but even though Luz is a cold hard bitch, she knows meatshields can be useful. :p

[Marcus]

I'm happy with standard. I guess we should try sorting out who wants where while we are at it.
So far I think we have 2 purposed standards Helios and Saketaro, and 2 purposed Prime Runners Alex and luz.
Where does everyone else stand?

[Triskavanski]

For me, I don't really care which team I get into, I've got character designs for all of them.

1: Concept 1 - Prime Runner - Sneak Thief - This guy is like a kinder, has troubles with personal space if you're not a mark. On the field he a little more professional, and his talents revolve around taking things that don't belong to him. Mystic adept - Follows the Way of the magician - typically uses alchemy to create beads that run on timers, a few command items too.

One thing I need to ask about this character is the Metamagic that enhances nimble fingers, if it should actually instead be Light touch?

2: Concept 2 - Prime/Standard - Captain John Cormac - A guy who watched one too many pirate flicks. Tends to be a bit loud and flashy, typically a distraction who forces his way into things. Has an unusual rife, a 1700's flint lock replica, that is said to never miss his target. While a pirate, oddly has little nautical skill.

3: Concept 3 - Grim/Falcon - Same concept, different characters. An assassin that takes in a lot of legal hits, bounties put out by corporations and governments alike. Grim uses a sycthe and more psychological warfare, while Falcon use a lot parkour, climbing and snap blades.

4: Concept 4 - street - Dirt - Dirt is a grungy assassin who's just starting off. Sinless, he doesn't trust many with SINs and has yet to get even a fake one. His primary weapons are a shoe string and a dirty steel knife. Perhaps the one thing that has really helped Dirt get by is his tendency to go for the weak points, but he isn't much of a talker.

[eximius]

I'm out of town so I'm gunna edit in my character details a little later.

I would prefer a Prime Runner for the concept I have in mind. It will be a magician or mystic adept, I haven't decided yet. Details as early as tonight if I can bear typing it out on my phone.
