I was thinking a healer of some kind, but since two folks wanted a mage and as far as I know there are no real creators/tinkerers.  I might do the next best thing and be a hacker/rigger.

[Retrokinesis]

Ok, we've got a mage and a rigger so far! That leaves 2 of my builds: a vampire ranged adept/face and a changeling gunner/B&E specialist. Which would you guys prefer?

If you want to go ahead and start rolling-up your characters, a few things apply:

• It won't be hard pink mohawk or black trenchcoat; I think balanced is best
• Standard 400 BP chargen; don't worry about being Missions-legal (unless everyone wants to do Missions-only)
• You get free Contact points worth (Charisma + Etiquette) x2
• Feel free to use whatever you want as long as it's not truly insane (emotitoys, Iron Wills, etc.)
• Don't worry about ammo bookkeeping. Just list the types of ammo you intend to carry with you and we'll assume you have enough to reload

Seem good? Anything you want me to add/change/clarify?

[umraefein]

I'd say the Changeling... I'm not sure about those vamps. lol

Is Drake allowable? I was planning a Human Drake Shaman. If not, I have a few other ideas.

[Retrokinesis]

Fixed the broken list above

Sure, I've got no problem with drakes as long as no one else does.

[odd]

I don't know enough about SR to complain about those.  I know mostly basics as I said and drakes to me a wingless dragons.

With that said I'm coo with whatever.  I could also use SOME help tweaking my guy (IE making sure I have no huge blind spots)

[Retrokinesis]

Drakes are metahumans that can turn into small dragons. I think they do have wings, actually, but I'm not sure. Basically, alternate form with natural weapon (claws) and elemental attack (fire).

I'll help as much as I can. What do you have so far?

[umraefein]

"A metahuman with this quality is a drake, a unique creature
able to transform into a small dracoform at will. They gain the
Shift (Drake) power and a Magic attribute of 1. The dracoform has
the powers of Elemental Attack (Fire), Enhanced Senses (Hearing,
Low-Light Vision, Smell, Thermographic Sense), Hardened
Armor 4, Mystic Armor 4, and Natural Weapons (Bite/Claws:
(Str/2+2)P, AP 0). Drake characters receive additional abilities
and attribute modifiers dependent upon their dracoform, as described
in their individual descriptions."

[umraefein]

Quick question... I use Chummer to build characters. How would you like me to get my character to you? Also, roughly how much backstory would you like?

[Retrokinesis]

I usually just go to Print -> Text-Only and copy/paste it. You can just put it here in a spoiler box so we can all judge you!

I'd prefer more than less but it's up to you. We'll be based in Seattle but, of course, assignments may take us elsewhere. A fixer is putting the team together for a run and (presuming we live) that will lead into more.

Again, I'm new at this so if anyone has any objections to that feel free to raise them!

[umraefein]

No objections. Might even give you some extra material... (Had some run ins with Aztech in his past)

== Description ==
A striking man, he is handsome and charismatic. He often dresses rather ecclectically, a risk of shopping at thrift stores. His features show him to be of Latino descent, and he wears his hair long. Notable accessories include a gold necklace in Aztec style representing Quetzlcoatl, a bracelet made out of small bones and beads made of lapis lazuli, and a single fang earring, made in fact from one of his own fangs.

== Background ==
Ignazio was born in what used to be Mexico City. He grew up poor, as his family worked in a stuffer shack. He stopped going to school at twelve to start working full time in the shack himself. That all changed when a his family was sacrificed by an Aztechnology wage mage in order to fuel a particularly potent piece of blood magic. The mage was supposed to kill the whole family, but while he was open to the astral plane, he detected Ignazio's unknown drake nature.
The mage took Ignazio in, and raised him until his drake form finally revealed itself. At that point, Aztechnology intervened once again. His erstwhile savior was killed, and Ignazio was dragged to a corporate enclave. He was held in the enclave, and forced to study magic, for several years. By the time he was 21, he was almost ready to give in and drink the koolade when he was contacted by a woman going by the name Slither. She told him that she could get him out of the enclave and all the way to Seattle. The only catch is, he'd owe her a favor. Ignazio jumped at the chance to get away from the corporation that had destroyed his life.
The breakout went well, and he was half way through Calfree before it was discovered he was gone. Despite crossing several borders, Ignazio reached Seattle without a hitch... but that's where his troubles started. Slither was very helpful in that she deleted his SIN, and continues to do a routine clean out once per week. However, the stress of the trip left Ignazio bipolar... which lead to him being fired from the few jobs that would hire him. He was forced into the shadows. However, when one of the runs he was hired for got hairy, things got complicated. Several people were killed in an explosion, and it was rumored that Ignazio had caused it. The truth, however, is lost to iniquity... The explosion caused some minor brain trauma, which has caused Ignazio to forget his past. The only reason he still has contact with Slither is she the sole contact on his comm.

== Description ==
Physically unremarkable in every way. Perfectly average (for an elf), people often forget his face the moment he leaves their sight. Which is exactly how he likes it. He prefers finely made (and discreetly armored) suits and is never without his black overcoat (AR-linked to adjust to the surrounding environment) and leather gloves (one of which is a shock glove). People often find his presence extremely uncomfortable, although they can never quite tell why.

Unless they can perceive astral space. He appears as a gaping, necrotized wound in the astral plane which causes spirits and magicians no small distress.

== Background ==
Richter doesn't talk about where he was born. In fact, he doesn't talk about anything before he met his wife, a middle manager at Tellestrian Industries, in Portland. Life was good: between her executive salary and his work as a Tir soldier, they had more than enough to support their young daughter. Until everything went bad. A classified corporate experiment infused him with the energy of a very very nasty metaplane, making him a walking void of anti-magic. Of course, he wasn't supposed to survive that. They killed his wife and daughter and pinned the blame on him, causing him to flee the country.

He joined-up with Ares Macrotechnology (who were more than willing to hire an accused murderer) and, after heavy augmentation, became one of their top Firewatch troubleshooters. Recently, he received an annonymous tip that his daughter was still alive and in Seattle. He parted on amicable terms with Ares to follow-up on the lead but they still have his records, so he'd like to avoid pissing them off.[/spoiler]
Basically, he can probably kill anything remotely mortal. An expert in both pistols for subtle work and heavy weapons for... less-subtle work. Astral Hazing and Arcane Arrester make him nearly immune to magic; he generates a background count out to 1.5 meters so our magician should probably let him go in first.

== Background ==
Born in Dublin Ireland.. Patrick quickly found his skill as an private eye, making work of small cases for a short pay..few years later he got approached by certain people who initiated him to the shadows..he worked with that bunch for awhile and ended up in Seattle selling his skill for anyone with enough nuyen to buy em.[/spoiler]

Sorry background kina suck but I had so inspiration at the moment.this is my mundane investigator..basicaly a frakton of knowledge skills,social skills and even got an agent for data search

Ok, now that I posted my char I'll unleash the EYE OF JUDGMENT on yours!

I really like the flavor/backstory. Especially the "almost a blood mage" hook. I bet that won't ever come up. Nope! Spell selection, gear, etc. is good. If I may make a few suggestions.. feel free to ignore any or all of them!

-Banishing and Ritual spellcasting are... not super great. Especially when my character can basically hug spirits to death with Astral Hazing, you might get more bang for your buck with maxing-out Spellcasting.
-You have good combat spells, but you might want to pick-up some ranks in Unarmed Combat and Exotic Ranged Weapon for claws/fire breath respectively. They're dual natured so you can hit spirits and fire breath is basically a combat spell without the drain. You could also change it to lightning breath once we start with karma if you like that theme better.
-You could take Restricted Gear and bump the Power Focus up to rank 4 if you can find the cash. It's a pretty great deal for any spellcaster.

Ooh, sorry, I didn't notice you posted a character as well before I posted! Let's see...

Wow, you weren't kidding about Knowledge skills and Contacts! I think that plus your social skills officially makes you our face. Can't be a real P.I. without Addiction (Alcohol), of course. Or novelist, for that matter. Who did you see him as being In Debt to? I'd guess the mafia based on his contacts.
 
Suggestions!
-As a house rule, you don't need to keep track of ammo. Just want kinds you use commonly and what gun is loaded with what.
-Not having multiple IPs is going to hurt you in combat. You could use drugs to compensate, I suppose.
-You have quite a few specialties. They're quite a bit more efficient to buy with karma than BP if you can make-do without them in the meantime.
-You could save some BP by dropping the low-rating security gear (Maglock Sequencer) and buying it once play starts. The 12 Availability cap stops you from getting it at rank 6 to start with so you'd probably just sell it and buy the upgraded one later anyway.
