Namaste, saathiharoo!

This is the official OOC thread to Street Scum. You know how it works.

Please post your characters here again. This way, it's very easy to look up stats.

Please do not post a second post until every player has posted his character or a placeholder. Use Recruitment until everybody's character is online.

Thanks!

If you have any questions on the gang (or rather: group of youths protecting each others), culture or Kathmandu 2075, feel free to ask (after everybody posted his characters, of course).

Ah, and here:

NPCs

Some gangers

• Man Bahadur: The oldest of our kids (20), and a big brother for everyone.
• Anita: A young girl (11) who is slick as a shadow and an amazing thief.
• Simmy: A boy of about 12 who is always getting into trouble. One of his reasons is that he loves to play with knives. And people. And both simultaneously.
• HarleQueen: The 17 years old ork girls is the ugliest person that was ever born to a homo sapiens. At least so she thinks. True, she's not a pretty although there acutally might be uglier persons (if you search long enough). In her teens she tried to camouflage it with make-up. It didn't work out so well, so she put on more make-up. When this didn't work, she still used more. People started calling her names like "clown" or "harlequin". By this time, she Awakened. Being able to hurt people just by thinking hard of it (and knowing many people you'd love to hurt) is a big boost in regard of your self-estimation. Thus, the little girl stopped avoiding her names, and instead embraced them. She started coloring her face (and other body parts) in artistic colors: sometimes clown-like, sometimes skeleton-like, sometimes just colorful. She now calls herself HarleQueen and kicks ass just as everybody else does.
  
• Sissy: The 16 yo old boy hates violence and would rather be an elf than a troll. Still, a troll he is and he isn't ashamed of it. He has got a lot of piercing, tattoes and artistic scars to make himself look like the meanest bad-ass there is, just to disencourage people who are looking for a fight. Ah, and there's this huge spike club of his.
• Kiran the cripple: He's not a cripple, he's just not particularly strong. But he's bright and very fond of reading. Kiran is not the archetype of the weak genius who knows everything and keeps saying stuff like "I once read in a book than chewing gum reacts with this kind of chemicals you find in the new pencils of Mitsuhama which will explode if a male barghest comes close." He just loves books and really is a cutie. He's usually hangs out with
• Pita. An ork girl of 14 who loves talking to Kiran and has in muscles what she lacks in brains. They make a good team, though.
• Nishan: A 11 year old boy. He's quite fond of Lucky and the others. He always tries to get some attention from his elders, which comes quite annoying at times.
• Sharmila: wounded young girl
• Pratiksha (16): One of the elder girls. She does a lot of "girl things" like sewing, cleaning and stuff. Also sewing and cleaning wounds.

Some former gangers

• Musaa (mouse): The boy is 9 years old and his true name is Bikki. But everyone started to call him mouse, not only because he was very small, but also because the little thief was always walking alone, on his own. Yeah, if you think about it, mice are not really solitary animals, but you never actually did think about it. Musaa left on one of his strolls through the city roughly four and a half months ago and never came back.
• Som: The 16 year old boy is strong and calm, yet somewhat strange. When he went to nick some rupees three months ago, he never came back (nor did the money).
• Durga: She's 14 and a nice (though very naive) young girl. She even had sort of a job (she helped in a kitchen). One day two months ago, she left without explaining a single word.
• Binita: The 15 year old girl was best friends with Durga. After Durga's disappearance she left to search for her, never to return.
• Prakash: The 17 year old do-no-good allegedly was killed in a fight with gangers from another group, though his death was never confirmed.

Envorinment

• Keshav: He is one of Sano Souraj's men, but never truly understood Souraj's mission. He controls our block and comes every now and then to "politely ask for a contribution to this just cause". He's a drunkard, loves to hit children and is not a nice fellow in general. That doesn't mean he's evil, just a little mean. In case we really need something, we still might consider consulting him.
• Crack: The ork is a former shadowrunner. He's not the youngest anymore and doesn't look for thrill. He works for Keshav to make sure the donations come right where they belong.
• Sabina: Keshav's child. She's suffering from an uncurable and very unpleasant disease.
• Ama Pema: An elderly woman who runs a little grocery in the neighbourhood. She is a kind madam and sometimes gives us fruit or vegetables which are only a little rotten.
• Suman: Ama Pema's husband. He's a grumpy old alcoholic and doesn't really share his wife's beneficial inclinations.
• Father Rajesh: The old ascet and sadhu is the only really Awakened person we know. Father Rajesh prefers his version of loneliness in the slums of Kathmandu, but he's a kind and good-natured person. And a beggar which is a nuisance as people prefer giving money to him than to us.

Character:

Riker (or Rajkumar, but only his mother called him that) is a 16 year old street rat from the dumps of Kathmandu. Born as the bastard son to his native mother and a some westerner, he learned early two important lessons: Nothing in life is free and on the street your particular life is exactly as much worth as you can fight for tooth and nail. This philosophy was reinforced through his obsessive fascination for combat biking. For the past four years Riker kept a job as a bike courier to support his mother and little brother Priya as well as saving up to one day own his own motorcycle. In his circle of friends and acquaintances he is notorious for being reckless, relying on luck and chutzpah, even if a minute of thinking could have provided a better result. "Learning from mistakes is just another word for quitting."

That was the case until last week: Someone stole Riker's most precious possession: His 18 gear mountain bike. Now he is not just a bit desperate but positively homicidal. Worse, the local go-gang thugs are recruiting. Now he is seriously tempted to take part in their brutal initiation ceremony, just to have a shot at riding again...

Overall appreance
Scipio is relatively tall (but not remarkably) and pretty skinny (but not too remarkably). He keeps his dark hair long enough to mostly cover-up his pointy ears (but, of course, not remarkably long). He actively tries to avoid trouble and therefore tries to hide eventual arms, which he uses - if possible - only to defend himself and his friends.  He doesn't speak a lot and if he does, he tries to be as polite and diplomatic as possible, although his behavior might change when speaking to his close friends. He actually is quite the sarcastic guy, but since he knows that many people fail to understand irony and sarcasm, he tries to drop it when interacting with strangers.
He is doesn't see his foes as "pure evil" and always tries to understand their motives, which often makes him hesitate to use violence or even kill his foes.

A few rules, by which he (if possible) lives:
"Be nice to those who like you, but even nicer to those who don't."
"Never make an enemy if you can make a friend."
"Don't start a fight whose outcome you can't predict."


Contacts:
- Old Suman
... is an ill old man who runs what he calls a shop and what anyone else would probably call an old pushcart. Scip used to help him sell his papads when he was not in the constitution to do so.
- Bajitha
An elven streetgirl who had to struggle with the same problems as Scipio had to. They once had a pretty close friendship, but she lately found  an old  "patron" that sort of adopted her in exchange for some services, so they hardly see each other these days.
-Pred
When Scipio was in desperate need of money or anything special, he went to Pred to do some jobs and runs for him. Not a very likable fellow, but a reliable one, who makes his life by selling guns, people and other, darker things.

Questions

What’s his reason to be a shadowrunner/member of a street gang?
Scipio left his home because he thought his place would rather be in the streets together with people he cared for and that cared for him than live a life he despises
What would make him end his career as a runner ?
Even if he had the possibilities to start a "civilized life", he probably wouldn't like to abandon his friends.
Would he ever kill? For what reasons?
Scipio doesn't like hurting people. He would prefer leaving his enemies be, but if there is no other choice, he is willing to kill his foes.
Would he rob an old lady or a beggar? In what situation?
He's not the type of guy, that would pick on the little one. He would rob/hurt an innocent or especially a weaker person only in a truly desperate situation.
How does he appear to strangers?
Bland. He tries to avoid trouble and therefore also avoids attention if possible. He's a calm, polite dude who likes to stay in the background of things.
What kind of relationship does he have to:
… animals? He's not a sodomist, if that's what you mean…
… orks/trolls? He's extra-careful not to start a fight with a physical-superior being, therefore he treats orks and trolls as respectful as possible.
… dwarves? Scipio has no prejudices against dwarves and is careful not to underestimate "the short ones".
… elves? He has great respect for his own kind, since he knows how hard it is to deal with the daily prejudices of a nectar-drinking daisy-eater.
… women? Should he find himself attacked by a woman, he would defend himself, just like against a male attacker, but he is probably less aggressive against women.
… foreigners? In the streets, everyone is equal, wherever he comes from.
… men? He sees men as more likely to be aggressive, so he has less trouble fighting a man than a woman. Still, he prefers peaceful methods over violence.
… other people in general? He is polite and tries not to provoke or hurt anyone without a very good reason.
… his own religion? He sees god as a man-made illusion and therefore has no religion.
… other religions? He sees religion as a waste of time and therefore sort of pities people who actively participate in any religion. He doesn't dislike religions, he simply can't understand them.
… his family? Scipio hates his family for their ignorance and unfair behavior. The
… magic? Since he doesn’t understand magic and finds it hard to predict an awakened, so he is generally more cautious and skeptical towards magic-users.
… his friends? He is loyal to his friends and always tries to be as helpful as possible. Scipio stands up for his friends, although he doesn't like aggression.
…his enemies? He always tries to understand both sides in a conflict, therefore he doesn't blindly condemn his foes. He's willing to listen to everybody, since he values the feather much mightier than the sword.
Which kind of social ties are there?
Scip cut off all social ties to his family. He despises his parents and everything he connects with them, like his former name or their relative wealth. He prefers the friends he chose by himself, to whom he holds a much greater bond than he ever had to his parents.
When would he call someone a friend?
He chooses his friends carefully. Although he is friendly to everyone, he doesn't share things about his private life etc. with many people. He only trusts a few people, like his closest gang-fellows.
Is he prejudiced? In what way? 
"Money stinks", as a saying he knows goes, is the only prejudice he really has. He's very tolerant but despises wealth and capital, which he sees as a major cause for the world's problems.
Are there some important events in his past?
When he broke up with his family, he took his life in his own hands for the first time. He is proud of going his own way.
Is he in love?
Scipio doesn't easily build up close relationships. So far, he didn't let anyone close enough to his heart to build up real love.
Is he in a partnership or even married?
Nope.
What frightens him?
The only things he really values are his own life and that of his closest friend. He's pretty afraid of loosing one of them or his own life.
What’s his greatest ambition?
Some people just want to see the world burn. Scip's definitely not one of them. In fact, he dreams of a peaceful life for him and his friend, a life in a world without fighting, or at least a relatively safe life. His greatest ambition is to be able to protect his loved ones without having to hurt other people and to overcome social injustice.
What drives him on?
On the one hand, his desire for a "fairer" world and thrives him on and makes him stand up for his rights and those of his friends. On the other hand, he just tries to get himself some sort of a meal and a place to sleep.
What his greatest advantage?
He's clever and knows how to use both his mouth and his hands. (wow, just realized how wrong that sounds…)
What his greatest disadvantage?
He often tends to talk too much and fight too less. And since he's always willing to understand his opponent's side, ho sometimes shows to less aggression and compassion to fight for his own right.
What’s his Achilles heel?
Scipio is very likely to forgive an enemy, if he feels like that foe isn't "pure evil". He might be easily fooled by a good actor and liar.
What makes him furious?
Not very much, besides seeing his close friends or himself getting hurt. Badly hurt.
What does he love?
The few people he really holds dear. And good food.
Which kind of persons does he fancy?
He likes to surround himself with socially interested people, that care about each other and value the group's good more than their own interest, just like he does. And he likes people who understand sarcasm and irony, cause it's just funnier that way.

== Description ==
Lucky is a young male human of average height he has long dark hair and dark eyes. He is skinny but relatively healthy. he wears a worn down leather jacket and a matching hat. If you see’s lucky without his guitar - you know something terrible must have happened he protects his guitar with his life. He has a star shaped necklace that he never takes off - and he usually also has a teaser on his right hip - trying to deter gangers from messing with him.


== Background ==
Lucky, yes this is my name. You got that right, just Lucky no family name because have no family no point in faking it. I live in the streets where I play my guitar all day and make enough money to find something to eat.

I want to become a great performer but honestly I’ll settle on making it to my next birthday. I am 17, I still carry a necklace that was abandoned with me. I want to know what happened to my parents and why they left me to die on the street. I survived because an old Samurai took me under his care and brought me to an orphanage and kept visiting me.

I call him ‘pops’ because one of his cyber eyes is so old it keep ‘poping’ out. pops was once a shadowrunner, a great warrior but he put so much metal in his body it is impossible to hug him, hold his hand or look into his eyes. There is a real person in there, I am sure. ‘pop’s never talk to me more than one word. ‘eat’... ‘take’ but he is involved in my life ever since I can remember myself. He is very sick, and his augmentation barely function anymore, he barely makes it on his own yet he never forgets my birth day.

I hate myself for thinking it, but sometimes I wish ‘pops’ would find my parents and use his implemented shotgun to blow their heads out... This is not like me, I have a teaser - I am not stupid but I could never bring myself to kill anyone - this is how you become messed up like ‘pops’.

Perfect, thank you. Seems like the ooc thread it's now open to spam.
Like this: Are you sure this is the right time to tease Mouse? Or did you mean taser?

[gilga]

That little gun that shoots electric arrows at people
 

[Volker]

Taser it is, then ;-)

As Novocrane already suspected, this should come as a surprise not only fluff-wise but also in rule terms. Sorry not to say so explicitely. In order to speed things up, I'll determine the initiative myself in this case. If anyone wants to do it himself (is there a herself around?), please tell me so and I won't roll your dice in future.

So, we have:
Lucky: Lucky's Surprise roll: 10d6t5 4
not surprised; your INI roll counts
Scipio: Lucky's Surprise roll: 10d6t5 4
Initiative Roll: 1d6+9 12
-10 due to surprise means INI 2
Hari: Hari Surprise roll: 6d6t5 1 surprised. Initiative Roll: 1d6+6 10 No actions in this phase unless you spend Karma. Sorry.
Riker: Jack_Spade has rolled for himself

Musaa: Initiative Roll: 1d6+5 8

In other words:
Riker: 16
Lucky: 15
Musaa: 8

Scipio: 2
Hari: 0

I don't know how exactly Disarming works, but I assume it is a Called Shot and will thus roll a Defense roll for Musaa:
Defense: 5d6t5 3

Dodging the taser: Dodge: 5d6t5 2
Soak: Soak: 3d6t5 1

9 Stun - you knocked him out

Hope I didn't confuse any rules now...

[gilga]

By the way - help me out in here - what do you roll for surprise?
I rolled perception but I guess the dice relates to Lucky's emotional state
visual perception: 8d6t5 0

A question regarding Big Fun: What kind of hotel do you want to break in? A high level Pashupati fancy hotel or a low-standard shabby hotel Buttaspali people would frequent (but still with a warm shower)?

[Jack_Spade]

A small, privately owned hotel that still relies on mechanical locks.
I imagined it belonging to a tightfisted Chinese gentleman, known for his bad temper and no tip policy 

[gilga]

Lucky don't have medical training, (or logic)  but stopping a bleeding is something that you learn in a one hour course. Just apply pressure - you do not even need bandages you can use your hand. (but then you are tied up to the person until they reach hospital).  I see it as more of a common sense then a technical skill.  If he can't do so mechanically I'll just erase the post.

[gilga]

We still need to get the bullet out and generally apply first aid - so I'd say it is more of a fluff anyhow
Anybody got a first aid kit? or is skilled in first aid?

[gilga]

So you can be the one that improvises somthing... I'll change the IC.
Now lucky just gives you his shirt.
