Looking to start a game here.
The premise as you can tell revolves around gang life. This isnt going to be low powered characters, but it will be centered around a more gritty street feel.

The specifics:
No resources above 150k
400 Build Points
No gear above availablity 8

to compensate you will be given:
Chulos gang 3(8)/1  You may up the loyalty to 4 by putting points into it, but beyond 4 you need a criminal SINner flaw.

You represent the Carnales (Brothers in the gang who are like OG's)

I have one player already and interested in up to 3 more.

You'll need to really explain why you're out in the Chulos territory being rich, with access to that wealth and restricted gear works as printed due to the fact you're spending the points on the quality. Any idea of type of character yet?

Going chromed probably. A bit at a loss for what "important" role to fill so combat probably.

Ever read the New York stuff? Theres a increase in rich kids running off to join gangs, might take a similar angle. The born rich or restricted gear could come from a previous life or successful hit/job. Might make good plot fodder.

Sounds fun.  I'm going to make a Latino Dwarf who is a Weapons Specialist.  Going to call him, "el diablo corto" or "el diablo minúsculo", he will look like the human on page 72 of the Shadowrun 20th corebook.

I'm in Boer. How's a big, nasty Troll adept with an AK-97 and a combat axe sound?
And here he is. I threw tacnet and stuff in there just in case other people bought some good vision and audio enhancers and comlinks. If noone else does, it's only a +1 bonus to everything. Not a game killer.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name: Victor Crespo
Alias: Veto
Race: Troll (40 BP)
Sex: Male
Nationality: Atzlan
Lifestyle: Low
Karma Spent: XXXXX
Physical Description: This Troll seems to be particularly comfortable with an AK-97 hanging from a sling by his side and an large combat axe hanging from his waist. He wears a biker helmet that fits between, and around his horns that stick out wide from his head like a bull. His goggles hide his eyes, but the way his head moves back and forth gives one the feeling that he is looking for something. He has a rosary around his neck, and a portrait of the virgin Mary tattooed on the top of his right hand. His bronzed skin and dark hair make him appear to be of Atzlan decent.  
Personality/background Veto has been with the Chulos for a while. They use him for dirty work, but he likes dirty work. He has taken heat for a few things that the gang has asked him to do, and hasn't asked for much in return. In return, they have given him access to secure safe-houses when he needed to lay low, and some decent weapon mods by their armorers.
     Why are the Chulos so generous to a Troll that doesn't ask for anything? Because he works hard, that's why. Every time they ask him to do something, he does it. It doesn't matter if it's selling drugs, killing cops, or guarding one of the senior members of the gang, he is one hundred percent reliable so far, and fast to react. He also has a knack for battle tactics.
     His parents died, worked to death by agricultural wage slavers, so he has a particular disdain for order and law.
     Veto is smart enough to understand he's being used by the Chulos to do their dirty work. He doesn't care, because he likes the dirty work. His goal is to die in a blaze of glory with a rosary around his neck, so he can say his last prayers.
     Veto makes money for the Chulos by selling drugs in the gymnasiums he works out at.

I'd be interested in playing a batshit crazy street magician/street preacher. I'm a new player though, and quite unfamiliar with magic. So if somebody else wants to make a mage too, I'd say go ahead, because there's a fair chance that my guy will be hilariously ineffective.

Hey Bewilderbeast. It's not that hard to make a mage, you can probably be nicely effective. You will be limitted to Force 2 sustaining foci because of the availability limit, which is a little rough, but not that bad. The key to making a good mage is to have good drain stats. The better your drain stats, the more spells you can cast without feelin' the burn. I think a catholic street preacher would be pretty damn sexy for this game. A suggestion would be to check out the material on page 37 of street magic for some more inspiration for a cool tradition I think would fit your character concept. Depending on your tradition you choose, your drain stat (besides willpower) will be charisma, intuition, or logic. Think about which one of those 3 stats you want to be the highest on your character.

no 'subtle' types I see lol

Next order of business is to decide if you fall into a certain set or crew. With the numbers the Chulos boast there could be a go-gang r two within the ranks as well as regular thrillers. Also, give some thought to your role within the gang culture as well.....money man, runner, chemist/cutter, etc. gangs are criminal cultures and well, survive off of criminal enterprise....what's yours chummer?
