In Seattle, there is something new in the air, a sense of chaos. Life in the Barrens are difficult as is but this is something new. The northern Barrens neighborhoods bordering Bellevue are being abandoned. Rumors of  an imminent Shedim invasion spark the air. It is getting more and more common to spot walking dead bodies in the streets during the nights. Sometimes these are drugging homeless people, or passed out drunks into the sewers.  Fear does not stay inside the Barrens, during the last month there were three different attacks on Bellevue. The rich pack some serious firepower to protect from ‘SINless scum’ and these attacks were easily repelled. However, they received very high media coverage and the sight of walking dead bodies coming from the Barrens is alarming to all. The media is full of videos that show these bodies hopelessly trying to cross the Bellevue barrier with no regard for personal safety. These videos and conspiracy theories around them  are spreading like a wildfire in all parts of the city. 

Everybody are talking about the recent crisis, many enhance the panic for their own financial interests. Knight Errants demands a massive increase in budget to keep maintaining the peace.  Rightwing politicians demand airstrikes over the Barrens. Drone and security companies like Ares, Horizon and the rest are bombarding the matrix with aggressive advertising campaigns showing these dead bodies and urging people to get more security.  These feed an ever growing public interest in this phenomena. Inside the Barrens things look grim.  The new diaspora ignites a new generation of gang struggles and battles over territory and control of resources become common. The barrens are already crowded and there is no room for everyone. Rumors of Shedim makes the inhabitants extremely suspicious and paranoid. People barricade themselves in rundown buildings, stockpiling firearms and ammo.  Many desperate people will  do anything... anything in the world to just get as far from the barrens as they possibly can.

Hi!
I am looking for a core of active players to play and write this story with me.
 The idea is to start with multiple parallel solo or duet milk runs. These are made to give us a feeling of the world, the different powers that populate it, the characters and their personality, flesh contacts, important NPC's and locations of interests.
After some milk runs that will essentially be very short (depending on post rate of course) I want to converge to a big run to get to the bottom of the situation and either exploit and benefit from it or bring things back to normal. 

I am a bit new to Shadowrun and this will be my first time as GM - but I had some positive experiences and I hope that I can keep it interesting for everybody. One thing I do want however is commitment, I want everyone to post once a day (much more is also welcome), if you are going on vacation or lost interest, or can't post from any other reason do not leave me hanging in there respect me and my efforts and respect your fellow players.  My other rule is no graphic descriptions of torture or violence, be polite to other players even if your character is not.
 
I want to establish a core of 4-6 dedicated players that do not have to always run together.
Especially in the first phase of the game where you will be doing short milk runs.

Ambitious, I like it. But don't be surprised if those milkruns take much longer to resolve than you expect - it always takes longer.

That said: I'd like to take part, both as player and - if you need it - as support if you have GM troubles.

Most important: Are there any special restrictions or additions to the character generation (sum2ten, karma, etc.)?

Well it is not as if I am in any hurry to 'finish' - I like the atmosphere even if we are not going to the bottom of it.  Standard generation rules are fine, priority, sum2ten, karmagen and life modules.

I have some suggestions as to how I envision the world.

1. SIN's and legality of weapons will be a big issues every time you leave the Barrens. I'll do my best to make carrying illegal items and big firearms a hassle outside of the barrens. That include cyberware and bioware. If you have illegal cyberware you have no legal way to be in any civilized area and the more paranoid and scared they become, the more security will be tight.

2. In times of chaos people will be extremely suspicious and superstitious - background count will be higher due to the fear base of (2 in the barrens and 1 in the rest of the city). Also, 'geek the mage' is not a tactic, it is what every street rat knows even if they never met a mage. Obvious magic in the street will make the local gangers hostile and coming in with guns blazing.

3. Expect everyone that is more than a homeless or a burnout addict to be armed, dangerous and suspicious.

4. Lifestyle - I prefer that you live int he Barrens - this is not a must but as the story will focus on the Barrens it will make a lot of connection.

I do not plan to GM in the classic way - there will be plot and leads to follow but I will try to leave a lot of room to populate the world with stories, people contacts, locations and organizations. (That I will eventually reclaim control off).

Hello, I'm a person who recently got into Shadowrun and wanted to see if I could join. Should I post my character information here?

Roxxy, Disco Queen Technomancer

So, the basic concept I wanted to try and do was a Troll technomancer with the soul of a fiesty disco queen. I'm still trying to figure out sprites and gear, so i'll update this when I get the chance.

In terms of fluff, here's what I've come up with.

Roxxy is a large female troll with the soul of a disco queen. On the outside, she looks like a normal unemployed troll in the barrnes. However, inside the matrix, she'll usually be rocking her disco suit and roller blades, riding around as she wreaks havoc on systems and such. Her distinctive fro and smooth moves make her standout, and every moment with her is a party.

Roxxy used to be the manager of a failing discotheque. While pop simstars became all the rage, disco was sadly left behind, but Roxxy refused to let it go. Unfortunately, while browsing her extensive disco collection on the system, she unfortunately was hit with a very large dose of freakout from Crash 2.0. This in turn opened her eyes to the possibliities of disco. Disco was forever, and with her newfound powers, she is determined to bring disco under the spotlight once more.

The concept is a technomancer that focuses on destroying information and replacing it with funk and groove. Some would consider her a terrorist, but in reality she just wants to spread the love, man. However, due to her distinctive and eccentric, paranoid nature, she easily stands out in systems. On the outside she looks normal enough for a troll with a large orange afro.

Contacts
---

Jerry Ruger [Pawn Broker] C4/L2
Jerry is the orkish owner of a pawn shop down the street and is often Roxxy's go-to for second-hand BTL's in the past. He used to be a frequent patron of the discotheque before it closed down, but he enjoys Roxxy stopping by every now and then. He, like Roxxy, is also a connoisseur of blues and funk.

Tsamina Romanov [Street Doc] C4/L2
Tsamina is a neighbor of Roxxy who is often charged with the task of fixing up Roxxy after she returns from some of her exploits. She's not as into disco as her friend, but she's smart enough to know not to say it out loud and usually tolerates the loud music coming out from her room. She's been genuinely concerned for Roxxy, but remains silent.

---

So, here's the completed sheet. Let me know if I need to change anything.

Ok, since this sounds like a job for fearless idiots:

Meet Kynos - ex-military, ex-husband and ex-tremely dead inside. As an idealistic young idiot he went to join the armed forces to defend the fatherland (or what was left of it). 20 years later and countless invasive surgeries later he is only a shell of his former self. Between deployment in foreign countries, a failed marriage and massive injuries, at some point he stopped to care. Something broke inside him, his life and that of others stopped to be of great importance.
The only time he feels alive is when he is back on a mission, feeling the adrenaline coursing through his veins.

This is precisely the reason why he hasn't left the Barrens where he ended up a few years prior after Europe became to hot: Here is action to be had, here he can feel alive every day until he dies...

Arty is a young woman who lives at the edge of the Barrens, in the old Kingsgate Community on the shitty side of the 405.  She makes a living by acting as a courier for various groups and gangs in the Barrens and into Seattle proper.  She has earned a decent reputation as someone who can take a small physical object and get it to the appropriate person in a timely manner.

Berserker
Those who follow the path of Berserker love fighting just for the sake of fighting, be it with words, fists, or spells. He is the greatest of all warriors, capable of wading into battle without fear, and he will wage his war singlehandedly if necessary.
Advantages
All: +2 dice for Composure tests.
Magician: +2 dice for Physical-type Combat spells, preparations and rituals
Disadvantages
Berserker’s followers have very short fuses. Whenever someone strongly disagrees with you (gamemaster’s discretion), you must pass a Charisma + Willpower (3) Test to keep from striking out against the offender. If the test fails, the attack can be in any form you choose (fist, spell, etc.), but it must have the intent to cause damage.[/spoiler]

Character Bio
[spoiler]
Maxwell Rhodes was born on December 13th 2050 in Dallas Texas.  An unfulfilled life of SIN-less poverty spent in war-torn cities had turned the hopeful youth into a psychotic murderer.  Every year was the same to him during that period.  His time spent scavenging in slums and ghettos made up the bulk of his existence.  Gritty sands and bitter bile are what he had to sup on in order to survive.  A sprawl life with no chance of a better tomorrow, made worse by the fact that every one of his blood relatives were slowly dying off as the years rolled by.  This didn't stop until he was the last one to his name.  All alone.  Doomed to die and be forgotten.

One night Maxwell had a dream.  A dream of a scorched battlefield littered with mangled corpses, scenes of fire and death painted this nightmare.  Amidst the field was a lone figure slowly wading through the carnage clad completely in armor and carrying a bright burning sword.  The knight armored in black turned to face the frightened Maxwell and spoke thus.  "FOLLOW THE BLACK PATH AND FIND GLORY OR DIE IN OBSCURITY."  Feverishly the man snaps out his dream to find himself back home in his current hovel.  Except, something was different now.  Something strange and almost eldritch.  Maxwell had Awakened.

With his new found powers, Maxwell had risen out of his stagnant state and quickly made a name for himself as Sovereign.  However, he did so by following the dark example of his unseen, unnamed patron.  To which he simply referred to as The Black Knight.  Because he never knew what to call that nameless warrior other than how he looked.  A foul reputation clung to him because of this.  For what good could be said of a man whose deepest desire is to merely watch the world burn and finds his truest purpose amidst nothing but strife?[/spoiler]
