Remember there is always room for growth 

my words...

    Nomad chuckled, pulsing slightly in tune with his laughter, watching Bolts try the booth's door. He raised his voice a little and called out to the elf: "Little early for that, dont'cha think?" before leaning back against the bar, taking another sip from his glass.

You're addressing Bolts? Or Silk? (In which case, she looks pretty human to you, Japanese if you need a label, please edit the post then.)

*nudges Presidentevil133*

'bout the IC and the whole looking totally different and extra icons walking around in AR... I thought the icons and such were Virtual Reality?
Augmented Reality is just things like ARO's, some extra glow and mostly info (together with sites and whatever else you're browsing on the matrix if not in VR), but not totally different persona's, no?

[Chrona]

Gaunt has his Icon superimposed over himSelf in AR

[Xzylvador]

Didn't know you could do that... but since it's AR, Silk could just disable that image from her AR display or increase its transparency, right? (Like shutting down annoying arrows and advertisements.)
-- I mean, if anyone could just shove any images they wanted into other people's world without them having any control over it, spammers would be hunted down and murdered by the masses.
Edit: nevermind, I really should read other things than strict rules and tables... it's all described pretty well in the book.

Anyhow, don't want to post until I've heard from Presidentevil133... Silk's definately got some thoughts about all that overcompensation with AR icons, but posting too soon would mess up the timeline.

Edit2: How's your char going? Can't wait to see what other stuff you're building. I understand the pain in building a rigger though; building one myself... 88BP's in gear now, and none of them I'm willing to cut They really need to add a "Born Ridiculously Rich" 35BP positive quality... Maybe Rock can houserule it?

Yeah, sorry about that. I've been AWOL studying for a computer forensics exam these past few days.

Yeah, nomad is addressing bolts. At the time, although he's probably snuck a look or three at silk, he doesn't yet know she's part of the team.

As for the AR/VR thing, people can in fact run AR Overlays of themselves. AR fashion is pretty huge right now.

Also, Dantes has a system where you can see people partying at ther London and hong kong branches in real time, via AR.

So there you have it. Post away!

My feet are killing me.  Hope I don't get chased by dinosaurs anytime soon.

Sichr, Your Essence should be 5, though, just a little typo.
I got 116 points in Active Skills, not 108.
I'm guessing part of your planned development is picking up a Mentor Spirit?

[Sichr]

108, another typo both this and essence repaired.
Kirk is on his way to become gode, the priest of the cult. To that, ill need at least to learn Arcana and Ritual spellcasting. As the last step, I see a metaplanar quest to Nidavellir (Earth realm) to remove my Spirit Bane quality, that means negotiate peace between me and dwarwes. I know, they dont forget easily, so that would be a harsh ride...If I survive to that day.
Ive been thinking about Menor spirit. But im not sure, and if Im not, Kirk also isnt. Id like to try this character in life, to see what he is capable of and then chose.
Like i said, this is the first time I play magician as a PC, you dont have to solve all this things when you are GM because that mage is there because you want him to be, because he is a part of a story and has his purpose. Yup, it is good to know inner motivations of important NPCs to make them ?believable? in social interactions...and Im a good actor (talking about feedback, not EGO ) so i enjoyed this part every time I play, but...well..this is somethiung different.
If I put so much efforts to every NPC as to Kirk, Ive never played a real run in those 16 years of shadowruning
So. I know that if I remove my Inspired quality and Artisan skill as a whole Ill get 11BP to get sustaining focus 4 and bind him. But...no living beeing is bor so single purposed, I want something that makes him alive, not just strictly effective and ready to exploit the rules.

And...I know. This would be hungry mana black hole character...

[Xzylvador]

Blah, just fighting boredom and trying some RP...
I'll roll for judge intentions just in case; don't want to start a PvP or anything. If this kind of stuff is 'not done' or anything, blame my newbieness and just tell me; just trying to have some fun.
Judge Intentions: 17 (4Int+7Cha+3Pher.+3Kinet.) (17d6.hits(5)=4)
Silk's being cautious, this being her first step into actual criminal life... if she spots anything she doesn't think she can handle, now's her last chance not to take that step.

[Presidentevil133]

I can't speak for rockopolis, but my last GM kept things very light on rolls before missions except for things like data search and interactions with NPCs.

[Sichr]

I was trying to figure out who is interested in that locked room. Since my character had a bit changed till then, that roll is irreleveant, on the other side, you are making it much easier...

[Rockopolis]

Hey, I'm not saying your character has to be totally specialized; I have the same urges myself.  I can always adjust the encounters so that they're just a little too hard  .

And yeah, this is the premission thing, you don't really need to roll.  "Secret Player Character Handshake" is a little too much, but I'm curious to see how you interact with no rolling.
I'll work up some more details momentarily.

Sichr, you look good to go.

[Rockopolis]

Unless Pres wants to roll against the Face, of course.

[Xzylvador]

I can't speak for rockopolis, but my last GM kept things very light on rolls before missions except for things like data search and interactions with NPCs.

Yeah, I assumed that much...
Still, trying to dodge the question, trying to corner her AND seeing through her disguise? (Granted, at the moment, she sucks at it, need karma badly.)...
That's it pal, the gloves are coming off! :p

GM question that might have importance when actually playing: When comparing one disguise against another disguise, how does that work?
Like let's say, Silk has 3 'looks' at the moment. Aswan: blonde pure caucasian UCAS expensive joygirl/dancer; Takada: Asian lawyer/businesswomen; and then her natural look, which is somewhere in between.
Does piercing through one disguise automatically mean knowing the other identity too if it was seen before? Do both disguises get added together to a threshold? A modifier somewhere in between? (Let's say, Silk gets 2 hits disguise on both Aswan and Takada. A person meets one and then later the other. To notice they're both one and the same, that person would need 2 hits, 3 hits, 4 hits? Making two separate tests against both disguises would make sense, but he might not have been suspicious enough before to really try and see through a disguise...) How'd we play that?
