Hey Areyeonos,I Expect I'll be going over your character ideas and sheets over the next couple of days, but get started as soon as you can.
Glad to be on board :D How do you want us to post up our characters? Do you have a rough time frame for when you want us to get cracking?
Yeah... those PDFs are pretty pricey. Is it really necessary to own all those books for the game? I honestly couldn't afford to drop ~100 bucks on four new books, and keep in mind I'm still re-familiarizing myself with the core rulebook.
I can pick up Hazard Pay at least, but if those other books are required and not just suggested, I may have to step down. Just don't have the time/money for that right now.
I'd really appreciate that. Going to try and track down and read through Hazard Pay at the very least.Yeah... those PDFs are pretty pricey. Is it really necessary to own all those books for the game?

Oh, I'm sure some of us could help you out for a while on that end.

do you mean, will you be issued trained animals...? I'll need some context or background to authorize that, and I'll have to do some reading, do you have page numbers and books you'd recommend I flip through?
:) looks like MASH 4077 to me :)
Sorry Aryeonos, I'll bow out of this. It sounds like a very interesting game and I wish everyone the best of luck, but there are too many books for me to read and I feel like I'll spend most of my time going back and forth between books just to understand what is being said. Have fun everyone, I'll be keeping an eye on this.
Well I think I am almost done with Antal here. Decided to focus on sniper with some mechanic skills and other logic based stuff (First Aid, etc.).
I don't know if I left enough essence for you without killing my magic score, so if you want me to ditch some of the 'ware, just say the word. You should be able to see what I am going for though.
I didn't give him any gear, but he also shouldn't need a lot. Except for a big gun.
Neat, I hadn't seen that done before.
So, are you happy with your new method transportation? They'll receive some software upgrades so they can maintain some autonomous function as well.
You don't have to have muscle toner and augmentation since you're an adept, that's more of a baseline for everyone who can't prove they don't need it.
Kouryuu, Thrass, look in the spoiler tags at the attribute and skill sheet I put up...Just kidding, man, My char is the one sneaking around not sitting at the helm of a plane. that position is way to open. :D
Can we wear the helmet and the ballistic mask at the same time or is it either/or ?Yes the mask covers your face and integrates with the helmet, it can be worn on its own as well with straps but it's perfectly capable of being integrated with a helmet system.
I thought the Ballistic mask essentially is a helmet and thus takes up the slot?
Keep in mind I'm new. I was planning on losing 1 point of Essence, and therefore 1 point of Magic. This would put me at Magic 4... is that enough for Combat magic to still be deadly? If not, I can screw around and see if I can get Magic to 6(5).Nothing thqt can not be cured by a magic foci
would you be able to take any stealth spells? I'm looking into foci and the like now, but I'm also going over everyone's sheets.
Just a reminder to everyone, don't worry about gear, I promise you WILL be covered, put all 750 karma into skills and similar, the only character in hear that owns her own gear is one of the doctors, I'll look over everyone's ware to okay everything to make sure everyone gets to play the character they want I promise.
A4BG I'll cover that, you'll get a BioFeedback at 5, Encrypt and Analyse should be held by the IC running on the commlink.
I'm not sure why you as a rigger would need wired reflexes unless you weren't going to jump into the aircraft you're piloting, both of you should have a pain editor though incase you take too much dumpshock damage TriSeq doesn't want their vehicles with an unconscious pilot.
Alright, I fixed Antal in view of the gear information. I haven't made all of the Knowledge skills and other fluff, but other than that he is ready to go.Replace the microscopic vision on your eyes with vision magnification.
For the record, I changed the Reflex Recorder (Firearms) to just Reflex Recorder (Longarms) due to essence issues.
All in all, he is ready to kick down some doors and do some math all over people's faces!
Tacnet 3 needs 6 sensor channels, we have:
- Olfactory
- Sight
- Sound
- Biomonitor (armor)
- Vision enhancement (cybereyes)
- Thermographic (mask)
- Low Light (mask)
- Vision Magnification (mask)
Thats 8 and thus would provide enough for a Tacnet 4
I'm not counting all 5 natural senses because taste is... I wouldn't count it and touch is also a matter to itself if you are packed in thick isolating armor.
Though if you count either of them you get the full 8 sensor channels even without the cybereyes.
I had the intention of doing so, I'll let you and nathan consider the security ramifications of it, but I mainly thought of it for the medics who would need to monitor it as well, but yes, I'll add it to the snow suits. As a rigger Triseq didn't intend for you to have the muscle augmentation/toner. Also why are you concerned about your essence?

I'm not concerned about Essence. Okay. Muscle toner is out then, cool. The Reaction Enhancers though would help me with my piloting (sometimes you just have to drive manually).
The security ramifications of the R.I.G setup is another reason for me to have my Encrypt under my control rather than the IC. I could probably do a better job keeping the tactical network secure than it can. *points at Electronic Warfare skill and specialty*Tacnet 3 needs 6 sensor channels, we have:

Not all of us are getting cyber eyes from what I gather.
Okay, so I have a list to keep all the pillows from falling off my flatbed, did I get this right? Do I have everyone?
Did we lose someone, who was playing the AI?
Kouryuu, Razor Boy Have SheetThe 2nd time my infiltrator is compared to a front line fighter.
Check the front page, I have you filed under Covert Ops, we're just about there with all the gear and everything, I hope the Foci I dolled out aren't too OP compared to the group, I hope they're not too UP as well. I'll also issue special suppressed sidearms for you and Magnetbox.I think you might want to add magic foci to the mix. Also you can jave only as many foci boundee as you have logic, meaning having few strong ones will help much more. Magic foci is greate as it works as most others increasing the stat instead of the skill.
There I adjusted it, I just hope this means I don't have to fudge some mages into existence to ensure a challenge. Hope that's fair to everyone, let me know if that was a stupid decision.
We should be able to start up tomorrow ish once I get everyone's character sheets, if you haven't done so already go ahead and post a zip file of your most recent Chummer character file, it doesn't have to be complete but I want to see where everyone is at.
Sorry this is going so slow, this is kinda an odd method of character creation, I know.
Everyone take note that the gear listed is not all you're going to get, it's just the very standardized gear everyone has, the game will start at the TriSeq base camp, there'll be a briefing and everything.
I`ve sent you my nina.chum sheet in one of my previous posts.It's nice to see her again, and be on a team with you.

And Bio for Nico:
Nico had what is considered a normal childhood in Russia, raised with respect for his homeland and love for his family. His parents taught him that throughout his life he must hold his ideals close to his heart, but he was also taught that you have to fight and be willing to spill blood for those ideals but only if you truly believe that you are just in your action.
At 18 he entered the army where his potential to handle drones was noticed and he was trained in their use, he completed his first two years helping manage drones to provide supplies to various locations and outposts throughout Russia. He stayed within the military an extra two years now piloting drones to provide reconnaissance information to ground troops or police in many different settings utilizing all manner of drones often all at once.
After his fourth year he left the military, only leaving because something was missing in his life that he was unable to find in his slightly monotonous job. Entering the world he soon found that employment for riggers was scarce, because a single rigger could handle a regular sized warehouse or factory and that such jobs were easily outsourced to foreigners through the matrix.
After two years he was approached by TriSeq and he was offered employment similar to what he had done In the army, and he accepted.
The work was familiar and easy for him, but there was something off just like before. It took a year for him to figure it out though,and his conclusion saddened him. He wasn't honoring his ideals, he was fighting and working for the highest bidder doing whatever it was they needed done whatever they thought was just, even if it meant people got hurt, he was no longer himself.
He realized things must change if he is going to ever be happy, he must abandon his current life and fight for the things that “HE” believes in and what he believes is “JUST”, he wont allow himself to get killed for someone else's ideals. He has to brake away but there is only one problem... will TriSeq let him?
Only concern is right now he's only got a shotgun and a heavy pistol. I put all his skills in longarms instead of automatics, because I remember Aryeonos saying longarms could be used for one weapon or another? If you think I should add another weapon Aryeonos, let me know.I added all Standard issue weapons My char is skilled with. depending on the job he may need either of them. in close quarters- city job a shotgun, automatics more in a field were precision is needed.
Justcame back from work, packing the gear and sword and leaving in ten minutes. Go ahead, if you please. Dont let me delay you.
Probably a larper, I assume.Medieval sword fighting club, so do not get or he can make you one head shorter in RL.:D
There's always the offchance that he is a swordsmith.
But seriously why would a runner use a sword? (not ingame that is)
