(http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2011/357/3/d/long_coat_by_m0bilis-d4jyr2x.jpg) | Name: Ambrose Plaman Age: 57 Nationality: British Occupation: Demolitionist, Pickpocket, Smuggler, Shadow Runner Likes: Classical Music, Rock Music, Wine, Stout, Fresh fruit Dislikes: Dance Music, Hip-Hop, Pale Ale, Pilsner Beer, Soy Home: Amborse's home is a small shack outside of the major areas of the city. Its fairly well hidden and has only a few minor conveniences that he's developed for the place himself using his knowledge of engineering. Most notably is a hidden room inside the shack, that hides things he'd rather not be found while he's away, reinforced windows and doors, and a workshop in the basement of the building. Ambrose Plaman was an incredibly gifted young man in his youth. His hands, then, as they are even now, nimble appendages that allow him to perform tasks of pure and utter amazement to those who would see him perform on the streets from time to time, simple tricks at first, making coins disappear then reappear just about anywhere he'd want them to. Of course these talents of his did not just stay in the art of performance, but did also extend outwards into petty larceny and pick pocketing. A few of them to this day he still doesn't know how he got away with. OF course this life on the hard streets wasn't needed, his parents owned a flower shop in the common folk districts of area around London. But Ambrose packed up his things, after watching a Chinese fireworks factory burn to the ground.. A sight he'd never forget, something of a train wreck, watching people run from the building on fire, while colorful streams of sparks go shooting off every direction. It wasn't until later that he found the hit was planned by a local mafia-gang, A group of rich kids who wanted to do what they want when they wanted. The only reason one could even call it a mafia was because of the money the kids had inherited. Originally, he had intended to strike back at them, but their charasmatic leader persuaded Ambrose over to their side after finding out of the gifts Ambrose had developed in a rather short time for explosives, as well as his more long term skill of pickpocketing. the Mafia gang headed their way to Seattle, where they were convinced they could have even more fun than in Britain. Many years have passed since then, and the excitement still lives within Ambrose, a result that a particularly bad deal happened to wipe him out of most of his funds, and at the mercy of another mafia for a quick loan. |
I am just fine with the timeline as stated, Boom. So we are in our street clothes at the meeting, I guess. if he needs us to dress up, we will have to go home first.
Trisk, you must have seen old shows on TV land or Nick at Nite or something to even know who MacGyver was. The show was very popular but I suspect that it was over before you were born. It was a nice turn of a phrase, though. I still use it when trying to jury rig something at work or home.
To be fair, Smiles, you don't say much of anything to me lately ;P
(And just so we are clear, I may have made a number of predictions about what may come to pass. I have written them down, so we shall see if I'm right on anything :P)
TY CJ, it's good to see you again. And I'm very happy for you & your family. I'm glad you enjoyed the story so far. I do think it's funny that you dropped a couple of months ago and as far as the story is concerned it was only a few days. And, let me say it before the others. If you want back in there will always be a place for you at any table of mine. But, I know you know that.
Gilga, Mercy, Boom, Trisk, Irish I think we can say that now you've completed objective 3, no Sam. So, 5 karma for each of you.

Did Arc's shot seem to have any effect on the thug on the hood of the bus?+1 (agreed/ditto). Figuring you were waiting on that result, Mercy. Am I wrong?
Masterfully done, gilga!As long as it is interesting ;)
I'm excited/scared to see what our illustrious GM will do with this newGM Fuelprominent NPC directly tied to a main character. :) Awesome.
I'm kinda thinking being all dead might improve morale.
Is personally pay 12 grand to only need 4 hours of sleep
Every time you use an addictive substance during (11
— Addiction Rating) weeks in a row, you need to make an
Addiction Test. The clock on this keeps ticking even if you
skip a week, but every week you go without indulging
reduces the Addiction Threshold by 1 (it returns to normal
when you use again). If the threshold hits 0, you’re off the
hook until you use the substance again. This means that
substances with high Addiction ratings (like kamikaze)
could get you hooked in a single dose.
I will make some time for you tomorrow Boom. It'll have to be after paperwork for the new job but I should have an hour in my afternoon your evening to discuss your shopping needs. Yes, I will need rolls for the more esoteric items.,
Obligatory inventory bookkeeping post, go!
All equipment purchase that have been recently made through Arc (some in possession, some not) will be detailed here with prices. I'll update as things get finalized, but this way the virtual checkbook will be balanced.

Cat, Your backdoor is there once you enter the club. And no, the managers step outside and order from their comms, which the club pays for. All financial transactions are internal, with cred transfers handled again, via comms and credsticks. I designed it like that from ground zero to prevent just what you're trying and force the need for a decker on-site. Because ShadowDancer is a Prime, if it could be hacked from outside he could have done it himself with less risk.
Boom, yes, eight hour day. But, attempting any additional study ie pulling double shifts, will be counter-productive as the mind and body have limits on what it can effectively learn from diligent study.
Thank you, Smiles.
Then for 5 Karma, Tuskaloosa has Kip-up.
Because it's hard to keep a good troll down. ;)
The number of skills learned is determined by your logic. The magic number is LOG divided by 2, rounded up.If that's the case, and with current information to light, Arc can learn Con, and will likely be learning stuff on the flight over. Wiz
The talisma is Marco's comb that is always with him no matter what. After all Marco is more prepared to a bad hair day then to being ambushed.
As I didn't have much karma, I converted most of my nuyen. I saved about $1,200 because I figured I'd need plane tickets.If you're slinging in with us, I believe that transportation amenities may have been covered by our employer (though the comfort may be in question, I'm not sure). Could be wrong though ^^
