I'll just say if all of you make the roll then you took the cargo with you.  Just ignore the encumbrance for the climbing roll.  Thunder might have to leave Max here until he gets back.

Edge: Brick-0/3, Zach-1/5, Thunder-1/2

OK, well i didn't want to stubbornly let UB6 persist and it was obvious that it wasn't gonna move anywhere so I just ended it since you were basically at the end.  You would have faced the tribulation of the river and sniper which none of you saw but it was obvious that this thread was at a halt.  I wanted to try and run an outdoors run and I liked it a lot and there are a lot of possibilities....it just ended up turning more into a full fledged run rather than a UB-style run. 

Ok, so I'm taking taking recruits for UB7.  Of course anyone here has first dibs if you're able to post regularly!

Karma: 
Everyone gets 10 Karma.  I won't go into more detail because this run kind of died so we'll just make it a flat reward.

Divide up the loot and i'll start up the thread for UB7 once we have some recruits!

[Sichr]

Thank you for ending the pain ...
I realy hate to say that but despites this was good wilderness hunt exactly for my character to remember old days on Siberia, I always read the post in the work and later forgot to roll when I got home...and with that, also forgot to make another post. Seems like Im the only regullarly active on forums last days???

Ha ha, ending the pain is a funny way to put it. I ended up pretty frustrated with my character. Thunderhead was the first mage I ever ran that wasn't a combat-first face-melter, and if I were to roll him up again there are a LOT of things I would change. The animals portion took a lot of points and ended up being largely useless. Might have been different if it were in a gaming group where we met every week and there was a real chance to develop the animals as something other than drones. Fragile drones at that! With no way to control!

damn Thunderhead looked great on paper but wasn't fun to play.

if I were to roll up a new mage, any chance you'd let me transfer some of the Karma I just got into UB7?

[Sichr]

Inca, about karma expenses
Id like to raise my magic to 6
If I uderstand rules right, 6 is natural maximum for me and to this point I dont need to execute Initiation, just increase attribute

Magic or Resonance may only be improved up to 6 plus the
character’s initiation/submersion grade.

Is it OK?

[inca1980]

Yep, as long as your essence is 6 too.

[Sichr]

Ah my god...Ah my god...
whole 1 magic point to disribute!!!

             My home was located at one of many Ural tribes. Our Elders were forced to accept EVO security contract to the ensure the safety  of our people. Price was our independence, knowledge of Awakened Taiga and our freedom and the ways of living.
             Something I shouldn`t live with.
             I became a smuggler and a Stalker in the wastes of awakened tundra. Lately, when working for Vory, I`ve discovered, that EVO paid those vile Vory bastards to step-up oppressive campaign against my people, that forced our leaders to accept EVO offer for security deployment.
             With this knowledge and proofs, I became the THORN IN THE ASS, diverting some of their operations before they found out it was me. From that moment until forever, I am on the run...and Vory never forget..or forgive...
             O.R.C.A. had helped me to leave Vory amd cross Berring to Alaska. Until then, I travel along the coast, until today, when I reached Seattle. I ve heard of some ork tribes near Cascade mountain so I hope to find some info or contact with them. But the first thing I need now...is a long shower and a fast hooker and a good mechanic to check my bike...so I need some money, because Im almost out of geld.
Yeah...and my english is at the beginner level, so I`m looking for china town...

Physical aprearance:
Tall sinewy man with permanent sarcastic grin on his face, his tusks made this apearance a bit...disturbing.... Nearly half of his face almost constantly hiden by googles, leaving the rest unprotected. Skin on his face is far from smooth, covered by dozen of scars, burned both by sun and by frost it is a skin of an ork who spent at least 10 years cruising Siberia and Gobi desert on his chopper. He also has a respirator hanging freely on shis neck...
He is dressed in camouflage suit, from his knees up his body is protected by heavy lined coat, scratched, but oiled and regularly cleaned. Big survival knife, almost machette, holstered on his left thigh and two weapon straps crosses on his chest, however weapons remain hidden under the coat.
His bike has a story of its own. Hardened piece of heavy metal that seems pretty unstopable, carying whole Zak`s life on a few luggage carriers. Big multi-purpose axe with much-handled handle is strapped to the chopper body. Paintings remotely resembles wild cat in a leap, but looking at it directly brings you only cofusion, seems like the surface is liquid. So don`t stare at my bike...

I have no Idea how we end up with pay check, and Im actively looking for some Fake Sin

[Thermo]

Inca any thought on if I can transfer some Karma to a new character if it's along a similar vein as Thunderhead?

[inca1980]

No, you gotta use it on Thunder.  Each character advances by itself.

[Sichr]

Inca any thought on if I can transfer some Karma to a new character if it's along a similar vein as Thunderhead?

Heey, it wasnt that bad Thunder survived his first UB, and that means something. Go for it, maybe with some improvements you will be more pleasured with that character.
OR
Make another one, sinceit was only one UB and its not too late to abandon this concept, letting him survive on his own in the plex. The more you will wait, the more pain, you know it

[Thermo]

yeah, ain't that the truth.

I think the biggest problem is that animals weren't nearly as useful (or powerful) as I'd hoped. Drones and spirits have all the same advantages but are easier to communicate with AND are much tougher to boot. Not to mention that Thunderhead's spell selection wasn't terribly useful.

[Sichr]

Animals are very interesting choice, I wont mind it tested in more traditional UB. Just my 2 cents, well like I said, I wont underestimate this choice...
But its your call...

[Xzylvador]

Yeah, don't give up just 'cuz it's not the best power deal, surviving a UB is a pretty good feat in itself, I should know, I failed :s
If you didn't like playing the character you should quit, but if it's a question of how "useful" it was or wasn't, that'll be a different thing entirely each mission. The rigger/hacker I had could've been pretty useful last UB (if it hadn't been botched at the start and gotten him killed) but would have had nothing useful to do in this one.
I really did like following the story and your character in it.

[Thermo]

I think I might be able to "patch" Thunderhead's deficiencies with some Karma and a little extra dough.. that and having some time in between missions to train my animals a bit. Inca, I'll need a ruling on how you'd like for me to handle this. I'll definitely be picking up a spell to communicate directly with my animals, that way when I need to call on Shoryuken I'm not just waving my arm around like a fool trying to get its attention.
