I'll be starting a new PbP game if there is enough interest. Hopefully it will be the first in a series of adventures so I'm looking to start an ongoing campaign type setting.

Characters can use any games and I'll look at any character, and as long as I don't feel it is too unbalancing we will go with it.

I am looking for a commitment of posting once a day during the week and once over the weekend on average, and will be posting at least that often myself.

So if interested post your character and once I have between 4 and  characters we will get going
"Walking through walls isn't tough..... if you know where the doors are."
"It's not being seen that is the trick."

Do you have a campaign concept you'd like to share before people start throwing PCs at you?

Definitely interested, will be creating and posting a character soon.

Is there any information on background, theme, location, etc? Are there certain archetypes you'd prefer or like us to avoid? etc. etc. ad nauseum... ;-)

"You're nothing but a sewer rat!" Rat's father had branded him in a drunken rage. Rat's father was drunk most of the time during Rat's growing up years. He'd turned to the bottle after having lost his janitor's job with one of the corps. It wasn't long before Rat's mother took the children and left. Now a single mom, she worked whatever she could to keep a roof over their heads. At 14 Rat joined a gang and left home for good. He still maintains contact with one of his sisters, but hasn't seen either of his parents in years.

Rat drifted from one gang to another, slowly building the skills and cyber implants that would help him in the shadow world. Two years ago, the group of runners that Rat was working with hit the biggest haul that Rat had ever seen. He got a lot of cash and some sophisticated gear and programs out of that deal and with that he started working as an independent runner.

The runner that had been hired to guard the warehouse didn't take kindly to losing the payday, along with most of his team. Malabar was his name and he's vowed to hunt down the runners that beat him. So far, to Rat's knowledge, Malabar has managed to kill the decker that broke the warehouse's security and seriously wound their shaman. Rat himself isn't too worried about Malabar, but Malabar was not one to give up on a grudge and Rat is sure that someday their paths will cross once again.

I would like to apply.

Name: Derrik Cash
Alias: Kage
Race: Human
Sex: Male
Nationality: UCAS/SINless
Lifestyle: Med (2 months paid)
Karma Spent: XXXXX
Physical Description: Height 6' Weight 185lbs Black hair kept short. Cybereyes are solid gold with a mirror like polish and his cyberarm is chrome with accents in gold. Dress a bit like street trash still. His main persona is a man shaped shadow with gold eyes, dressed in a dull chrome trench coat and fedora.
Personality/background Derrik grew up on the outskirts of the Loveland district of Puyallup. Recruited into the Reality Hackers by his cousin at the age of 13 he was one of the many who made the wireless age a success for the gang. He often participated in matrix attacks on the RH's hated yakuza enemies, who gave him the street name Kage (kah-gay; shadow). He deliberately mispronounces it using english phonetics. Recently a VERY successful run on Fort Lewis netted him a nifty mil grade comm and made him some connections in the shadows. So he decided to leave the gang and hit the shadows full time. He remains on good terms with his old pals.
  Kage is very cocky about his hacking skills, not without reason. It's his cockiness outside the matrix that he needs to learn to curb, at least until he gets more 'ware.

Both characters look good. Blue be sure to get me your background soon. More detail is better especially in regards to the hunted negative quality. The last time a player left that type of quality as an open book for me it ended up being the teams worst enemy by the end of play (a group that was bent on world destruction and almost limitless resources).

The game will be in Seattle, and will start out as a street level type campaign. I plan to have the group have worked together some and have a bit of familiarity.

With a few mods I would like to submit the fighting face I submitted for another campaign that seems to be an early abortion.  The mods would involve moving it from Denver to Seattle, so nothing major.

Daniel Smiling Wolf is a full blooded Lakota Sioux.  He grew up living a charmed life of a small town sports hero in Montana.

Everything came pretty easy for him, his natural charisma and athletic ability combined with the magic that enhanced both, he was a happy and popular young man.

This came to a screeching halt for him when his parents were killed shortly after he came of age.  He was automatically granted a delayed waiver of his country’s military service obligation, but he turned it down and showed up for training as scheduled.  He seemed okay, but it was clear early on he was changed.

‘Smiley’s’ abilities caused him to gravitate towards the Wildcats, and he would have made it had it not been for an ill-advised and poorly executed dalliance with an older woman who happened to be married to his training company’s XO.  While this didn’t kill his military career, it was the first sign of what became a pattern in his life.  For the next several years, Daniel would prove himself capable and even heroic in all manner of high profile and dangerous assignments, then he would have some ill-advised situation, usually involving some combination of women, alcohol or fighting, that would derail him and then his charisma or friendships would pull him back from the brink.

His luck ran out when, while working security at STC HQ in Billings, he killed a man in self-defense, a man who happened to be married to a woman Daniel was seeing and who happened to an aide to the Salish Council representative.
He came to Denver to hide and make a life for himself, but has not bothered to try and break his pattern of subtle self-destruction, if he is even aware of it.  He has found a niche as a face and hand to hand fighter, but has also become known on the party scene and usually blows through any money he makes as a runner.
 
Daniel is a friendly and happy person, and a capable member of a team.  He is also an alcoholic and living on the edge is the only way he has of dealing with his demons.

Crossbow,

The character is fine, and has an interesting background. It is no problem to move him to Seattle. One concern I have is his lack of a ranged attack, but if you feel that is his personality and how you want him I won't say you have to have one. I just think it could be a handicap to you, and want you to enjoy the game.

Background
Sir Kickz always found athletics easy and entertaining growing up, and his thirst for more and extreme athletic endeavors led him to parkour and freerunning. It is what turned his life towards the direction he’s in now. Parkour, like any sport that attracts attention or the want of attention from other practitioners will have a gravitational pull of the likeminded to each other. This is how the nucleus of the gang to be formed later would develop. Already mischievous by virtue of practicing their chosen sport, it started to turn steadily towards crime and of gang activity in relatively short order.

The ‘Lollipop Guild’ caught its name from both Seattle’s title of the Emerald City, and from part of the gang’s trade in drugs…i.e. ‘candy’ of which the gang of Traceurs (parkour practitioners) could also deliver to its customers even if grounded (sent to their rooms). The gang also makes very good second story thieves and short distance couriers. The gang has never staked out turf in the traditional sense, but operates mostly in the Lower Queen Anne area of downtown Seattle. The gang can be seen all over downtown Seattle practicing parkour/freerunning especially in the Interbay area around the Burlington train yards and in the Everett areas where the abandoned buildings are tempting to them.

It wasn’t till Tempo made the scene that the gang was actually classified as a criminal entity as such by Lonestar. It was internally a pivotal point as well, as the leader of the Lollipop Gang; King Flipso was unknowingly to the gang a Tempo addict and had decided under the influence of the drug that the gang would be changing focus towards criminality in total. A mini civil war erupted within the gang between those loyal to Flipso (mostly the younger members) and those who saw the direction the gang was heading was wrong. The civil war was settled not by force of arms, but by the over dosing death of Flipso. The gang already on the verge of dividing was pressed even further by the looming decision of succession. Sir Kickz and JumpUP were the top two and division seemed eminent until Sir Kickz through his hands up proclaiming “We cool, but this shit is old now.” With that Sir Kickz averted the gang civil war, some know the nobility of the act, but some, and particularly the youngest saw it as a real ‘slitch move’. Sir Kickz still has a relationship with the gang, but it’s not as tight as it used to be, but with his talents and abilities it didn’t take him long to find a new gig in the shadows.

Boer_Kommando the character looks good, but I don't see your adept powers listed. Am I missing them or did you forget to put them on?

If in your background you could include what your signature is and maybe even how it came about I would appreciate it
"Walking through walls isn't tough..... if you know where the doors are."
"It's not being seen that is the trick."

Sounds good Boer. Just edit it into your previous post with the character so all of your character info is together.

Also is the Lollipop Guild an established group or do I need to make them up. If the later let me know what you were thinking of so it will fit what you were looking for
"Walking through walls isn't tough..... if you know where the doors are."
"It's not being seen that is the trick."
