This will be my first Play by Post game, as a GM or as a player.
The city is Seattle. The year is 2077. You were a legend once, ten, even twenty years ago. Your whole team did some pretty crazy drek in the shadows. That last score back in 2065 was enough to let you finally retire in style. Problem was, it made some pretty heavy enemies. When you retired, you went fully off the grid. Rating 6 fake SINs and everything. You scattered to the winds, left Seattle behind. Started a new life. But it wasn't enough. Last week, you received a desperate video message from Omar, your old fixer. How he found you with how deep you went, you don't know. But it was audio only, and he didn't sound good. He sounded terrified. Through labored breathing, he told you that they found him. That they found Megablaster, your old mage. He was dead now. Z3roFuxx, your old decker, is missing. And now they might be coming for you. He was on the run, but he needed you. He needed to warn you. He needed--then the sound of violence was heard before the line went dead. The only clue was a PO Box address that was attached as a plain text file to the message. It's time to come out of retirement and find out who is after you, before they send you out to pasture for good.

Qualities: Everyone takes Legendary Rep PQ without being required to pay the karma cost for it. It does not count toward your limit of Positive/Negative Karma. In this case, that limit is 35 as with prime runner priority character generation.
To those who have reservation about making such powerful characters, I will caution this: This game will be what the players make it. Black Trenchcoat or Pink Mohawk or Pink Trenchcoat, it matters not to me. But the dice will be unforgiving. The opposition will be just as well equipped and unforgiving. Death is final, unless you burn that precious Edge to survive.
When submitting characters, I will not consider them without a backstory. It doesn't have to be 15 pages, but I'd prefer at least 1. I also don't want any HeroLab or Chummer export sheets either. Those are both extremely buggy when trying to ignore character creation guidelines and with karma generation. Yes, I know. But Cash, you say, that means I have to figure it out all long hand and send it to you as a text block? YUP. SHORE DOES.
I look forward to hearing from interested parties. Drop a line here or send me a PM.
