add some more contacts outside the group if your the ringleader you need to know people to sell the junk.

Good point brought up here.

[bangbangtequila]

Exactly. I'm thinking my ring covers the basics: I can call on low professional rating goons to be the shmucks carrying boxes and driving the truck, and the basic sorts of fixers handling the basic mechanics. So I can get a shipment of AK-97s sorted out without a great deal of trouble. I'll add in individuals with low loyalty who keep it purely business, Ares workers who can arrange those "lost" shipments, Cartel Members who need to get those drugs into Seattle but don't have a contact in Lonestar who might let me know when there are no guards scheduled to patrol sector 17, etc.

Don't go too low on loyalty. Remember, this is also how quick they'll turn against you.

On the note of my contacts, with the additional contact points, my fixer is now 5 connection, 4 loyalty and a 3 connection, 3 loyalty smuggler contact has been added.

[SeriousOne338]

Also lone star got fired from Seattle now its Knight Errant security whose in charge per source book Seattle 2072

[bangbangtequila]

Ok, sounds good. Knight errant is better for me, to be honest. I just made the error of saving a char sheet on chummer as Created, and have to remake him *facepalm*

[SeriousOne338]

BigGuns you can start posting in the IC thread. BandBang, finish up the contacts but if you want to start the game I'll let you finish up your contacts later.

[All4BigGuns]

BigGuns you can start posting in the IC thread. BandBang, finish up the contacts but if you want to start the game I'll let you finish up your contacts later.

All right, I'll come up with a post after work. It's rather close to time to head that way at the moment.

[momothefiddler]

Huh. Cha*3 gives me 12 extra contact points to play with.

Uh, just throw however many can go into the group contact into there and ignore the rest. I don't terribly want to redo points or whatever,
So, bangbangtequila, consider me to be putting in anywhere from 10-22 BP into the contact. Whatever works best for you.

[SeriousOne338]

So Momo join the game as well, I guess you have one massive contact ring. Humm how to mess with it.

[bangbangtequila]

Cool. I could use the bonus 5 or 10 from that to take up things like Intimidation and specialties. Total group contact stats (counting 16 from Momo, 12 from me):
Black market pipeline (10)
National Influence (4)
20-99 members (2) (Let's say in the 70's, counting goons and low level crooks)
Connection (6)
Loyalty (6)

Use your other 6 to build a contact for yourself, unless you'd rather boost up the ring somehow, like adding Magical or Matrix presences. We could make it Global, but that's sort of crazy.

[SeriousOne338]

Ok so a small end smuggling ring, not a cartel size.

[bangbangtequila]

Again, we're not dealers, but middlemen.  i wouldn't want to rig the deck by being high end players at this stage, else where would the fun be?

== Description ==
Hank is average height, thin--he prefers the term "wiry", and very pale. He keeps his hair cut in a short, military buzz. Small scars line his face, hands, and arms, most picked up from chunks of flying debris.

== Background ==
[spoiler]
Henry "Hank" Kulakowski was born in 2034. 18 years later, he joined the UCAS army. Given his physical limitations, Hank was quickly placed in a demolitions squad, where he discovered an almost intuitive grasp of explosives and where they could best be used. Ten years later, he was showing a fairly green private the ropes when the private accidentally set off a shaped explosive. The private was killed almost instantly; Hank managed to escape most of the blast, but had to have his eyes replaced, and has never felt like his hearing has fully recovered. Forced into early retirement by his injuries, Hank decided to put his skills to use for whoever could pay the most.
[/spoiler]

== Concept ==
Ex-army demolitions expert.

== Notes ==
About the contacts:
[spoiler]
John "One-eyed Jack" Correl: When Hank got caught in the explosion, Jack was the medic who patched him up; they became good friends afterwards. After Jack retired from the army in '66, he decided to lead a quiet life--but he can't turn Hank down if he's hurt.

Cheryl "Cherry" Harmington: Cherry was a whiz at logistics in the army--anything her fellow soldiers (including Hank) needed, she could get. Quickly. Food, ammo, a "spare" tank or two...nothing seemed to give her much trouble. Of course, since she wasn't supposed to be doing logistics, all of these acquisitions were through unofficial channels. Discharged in '67, Cherry found that her ability to network translated well to life on the shadier side of the street, and she's settled into a rather successful role coordinating the movements of supplies and merchandise between those who have, and those who are able to pay.
