Something tells me our characters will probably be the oldest out of all of them. I hope we don't end up the de facto leaders again like we were in that one game....

Heh. We'll muddle through somehow. At least Iceblade actually has confidence to be a leader in combat situations, and experience. Wyrmtongue literally doesn't know a thing about the shadows.

Mirikon, did you figure out how to add those free ranks in those skill groups using the Chummer program? Those skill ranks are all that are missing from my upgrade.

Oh my bad. Skype and Chummer are parts to be ignored. Those were specific to the other game. The play by post accepts characters in any format. My bad...I didn't realize that technically my instructions on "Use these chargen rules" were so general. I wan't even THINKING about chummer or skype so ignore those as you will. And it looks like some of the non priority players are getting in.

(On a totally unrelated note. I GOT -1!. I mean I WAS stuck at 0/0 rep there for a while. Sweet to have something different.)

One more edit. If you use chummer go ahead and add the necessary karma to increase skills by the amount. Obviously this karma is negligible for any other purposes like street cred or reputation things that karma might be linked into. Of course this must be done post creation.

== Background ==
Born to a pair of Renraku employees, Reiko was raised in a more luxurious lifestyle than most shadowrunners in her early years. Her father was a mid-ranking security officer, and her mother worked in high level research and development for the company's primary industry of electronics--both at the corporation's home office in Japan.

Just a few short months after her tenth birthday, she was uprooted from her life and schoolmates when her parents were both transferred to the Seattle office in the Arcology. It took her quite a while to adjust to life in the UCAS sprawl, not the least of reasons was learning a new language, but after only a couple of years things settled back into normalcy.

For most of her youth, she was intrigued by both of her parents jobs for the corporation and strived to work toward gaining proficiency in both fields, but while she was able to become competent with computers, the skills needed for her father's job in security seemed to come most naturally for her resulting in her learning combative techniques much more easily.

Things seemed to go well once she'd become acclamated to the differences in lifestyle between Japan and Seattle, at least until she started entering into adolescence. Once she hit fifteen, Reiko began to enter a phase of rebellion where she would sneak out of the house at night and go out "slumming" in various bars and nightclubs located in the less than savory parts of the sprawl. She was caught sneaking back in to the house after these sojourns into seedier life--early on even before getting out to begin with--and punished heavily, but all this really did was provide her with lessons in what not to do when it came to stealth.

Two days after Reiko's sixteenth birthday, her life was again turned upside down as she and her family had to make their escape as the Arcology entered it's state of lockdown. While her parents and herself made it out--barely--and managed getting themselves set up with a fairly comfortable substitute home in Bellevue, it was driven home quite hard for her how bad the situation was because a young, at eighteen, security officer that she'd developed feelings for and had, for half a year, a clandestine romantic relationship with, was still trapped inside the Arcology. While she could, on very sporadic frequency and for extremely short time periods, get calls in to the young man, the long periods in which no contact was possible would send her into mild depression states for days, a condition which baffled her parents who, of course, knew nothing of the relationship.

As time went one, Reiko eventually resigned herself to the situation of it not likely being possible to ever see the young man, whom she considered to be the love of her life, again, and her life slowly began returning as close as possible to how it was before the lockdown--even though she still made what little contact with him as was possible given the situation.

Only a littler over two years--on month over to be exact--after the escape from the Arcology, Reiko's life was again shattered. She was just getting home after one of her 'slumming' escapades, only to discover that the door to the house was slightly open. Moving inside carefully, she poked her head around the corner, calling out to her mother and father, only to discover as she did that her father was lying face down on the now shattered table in the living room in a pool of his own blood with a bullet hole in the back of his head. Being unused to this sort of carnage, she stood helplessly frozen for several minutes, grief bringing tears to sting her eyes. Once she had regained some measure of control over herself, she started calling to her mother again as she moved through the disaster area which was her home. She was even more unprepared for what she found once she entered the kitchen. Lying on her back--also in a pool of her own blood which was running down the side of the 'island' in the middle of the room--was her mother, stripped almost completely nude and severely mutilated. At this point, the girl went nearly catatonic for hours, just huddled in a corner silently sobbing over the loss of her family.

The final months of her time in schooling saw a much more subdued Reiko, for the most part, being that she had turned eighteen the month before, she used her inheritence to keep up her standard of living while she finished her time in school, and after that, she began putting the abilities she had to use to supplement the inherited funds by doing any number of things, including shadow work.

She still has not discovered who murdered her parents so brutally, but she has never stopped looking for clues as to the identities of the perpetrators, or why they did what they did. She eventually did discover that the young security hacker that she'd been enamored of did, in fact, come out of the ordeal of the lockdown alive, if not entirely unscathed. Once the two met once again, she discovered that her feelings--and his--were still as strong as ever.
[/spoiler]

She may not look overly impressive, but she can kind of pull off "secondary" in a lot of areas.

Alright, so there's the basic run down of Rosethorn (Yes, I just finished Eisenhorn, loved it!). It's no masterpiece, but it neatly explains how he did, in fact, work for a corporation as a security exec, which explains the wicked-skills, and I feel I did a good job explaining why he is no longer so fond of going brand name when he job hunts. I figure I will write up a list of contacts using the charisma points, and then we can factor those and any others you care to include when we do the three mini-runs.

Let me know if anyone cares to tie-in, or if our illustrious GM wants me to add any particular hooks in. My sheet will come sometime this week.

Honestly, my guys combat style will be more betancor then eisenhorn, but still. Maybe if I made a magician I would go more gregor.

Hmmm. I just thought of something awesome to work in...

So, if I'm following correctly so far, we have: a special-ops, sword-wielding elf combat mage; a well-off street samurai; and a slick elf spymaster. Who else is on the team's menu?

Ah...it seems weeboomancer removed me from list. well, good luck...

Probably just an oversight from the editing he apparently did to the first post. Mistakes do happen sometimes.  :P
