So I'm opening recruitment up again, since we seem to be a little low on players at the moment.

Street Name: Mr. Smith
Physical Description: He's an elf that's standing at 6'4" with a slim build weighing at 130 lbs. He has bright baby blue cybereyes that look almost exactly like his original eyes, and sleek black hair that he keeps in a typical business cut. He's usually seen where suits, in the latest style if he's got the cash for it.
Street Bio: Mr. Smith is a fresh face to the Shadows, so nothing is really known about him yet. His fixer does assure that he's got a silver tongue, a professional demeanor, and an oddly high amount of loyalty to his clients. There are rumors that Mr. Smith is a disgraced corp man.

Looks good. Can you send me a character sheet? The chargen rules are listed in the first post in this thread. Also, I'm thinking it might be easiest to slip you into the game under the assumption that you already know one or more of the players. Any ideas, guys?

That's gonna take me a little bit. I have to remove non-corebook stuff and then convert it all over to the forum char sheet code. When you say SR4A only, is that everything including things like qualities and advance lifestyle, or do you mean just gear?

As for inserting my character, he used to work for Horizon in the music industry, if that helps (or hurts) at all.

SR4A for everything... no other books... a bit challenging at first but can still come up with good things.
McClane has run the shadows for some time, and has quite a bad reputation about it (Notoriety 3) mostly because he's known to be bad luck, and rumor has it he's made pact with the Devil. (Untrue, but know ones really know, but has Dark King as a mentor spirit and few understand it). So it shouldn't be too hard for McClane and M.Smith to have work together a couple times.

For anyone else looking to join, we're lacking good hacking skills!

Hacking skills!? I'm a hacker! Though allot of my gear is arsenal and a few things from unwired, though either of those rarely come up if it isn't too much of an issue, otherwise I can buy some cheap gear from the CRB. And I'm a changeling... crap I'll have to make a new character, if there is still space?

If the changeling part isn't a problem I can use my original comlink and just put on an urban explorer.

When planning, on a mission, or in an otherwise serious situation, calm and calculative to the point of tediousness. When off the job usually finding a building top to make home, setting up makeshift dens and generally trying to avoid all observation to finally get the chance to relax and zone out for a few hours.

What all do you need?  You mentioned hacker, but is there anything else you are looking for?

When do apps have to be completed by?  And shall we post them here or PM them to you?

If you are still interested, I would be willing to try my hand. I would be willing to make a hacker, though I'd need to brush up on the rules.

We got an Occult Investigator (mage) and ParaMedic Rigger still active, maybe Cyborg Heavy weapon specialist, the rest of the team seem to have deserted us.

@Aryenos: Though your character is cool, I think we should all stick to having to make a good character with SR4A only. It makes it easier and fair for everyone, and simplify thing, in a sense. Of course, it is the GM final decision that matter, but I am just stating my opinion.

If I were to just play it as a hacker none of my changeling qualities would come into play, and I'm open to letting the GM just say that I go with my skills and attributes only for dice pools, (+the program rating of course), the metagenetic qualities are mostly there as character concept/flavor, I didn't make it to min/max, and I'm rather fond of this one. But, if you absolutely need an SR4 only character I can make a new one, if just using SR4 only gear and ignoring the SURGE qualities isn't enough.

If you still have a spot open for someone who is rusty (I'll have to brush up on the 4ed rules) PM me.

I generally run a Sammie, but I am flexible. Just PM me and I'll get a character set up (looks like you had a few responses before me, so not sure how many spots you have open)

Well, I generally play hackers, so I can definitely go that route.  But I can also play a sammie if needed.

I'll create a character sometime today and get him up here for your review.

Finished up a technomancer character. Just a couple minor tweaks, but overall done I believe. Just need to copy it over into forum code, then I will PM it to you.

Name - "Glitch"
Description - Standing at 5' 10" and maybe 125lbs, Glitch is not a terribly imposing figure. Dark shaggy hair sits in an unkempt mess on his head, and his face seems to be stuck on "5 o'clock shadow". It's obvious his skills do not include taking a hit, and he knows it. But his skills as a hacker are getting him noticed, and paid.

Bio - Glitch was an average teenager when Crash2.0 fragged his "normal" life. After waking up in a hospital several days later, something felt, off. He could sense something different around him, something almost comforting once he got used to it.
As he began realizing what he could do, he did what any self-respecting teenager would do with new-found power; he abused the crap out of it. After a stint in prison for "malicious hacking" (he never bothered to correct the paperwork on that point), he got better at hiding his trail. He took on some basic hacking jobs for the local gang, helping pay rent and his security bill at the same time. He is more than a little paranoid about being found out as a Technomancer, and learned early on to carry a 'link with him, just in case.

Hello everyone. Glad to see such a strong response.


It looks like we've got 4 people interested in applying, and after adding in Necrogigas the game has 3 players. That would put us at 7 when I'd originally wanted a maximum of 6, but I'm willing to bend a little on that, just in case life gets in the way for someone (which is how we ended up in this mess in the first place).

I'm going to remain firm on the "core rulebook only" thing, because I made everyone else adhere to that rule, and because we're playing through On The Run, an adventure that was created specifically for core rulebook characters).
