Hello Chummers,
I am looking to start a new game here on the forums after the game i was playing in recent seems to have died. and just running the one game isn't keeping my gaming fix in check :)
So yeah looking to run a new game.
I am looking for a team of runners, main location will be Neo-Tokyo.
If your interested in joining please can you provide the following:
- How often you can post & when i.e. timezone etc...
- Character idea
- Brief background
- Any current games your involved in
If you want to start a character it will be will be with standard 400 BP characters. Please note that extreme optimization is not required pools of over 15 will be excessive in most cases.
I will tend to favor characters that have more flavor than anything else so feel free to get your creative juices flowing.
Looking froward to seeing what you guys come up with.

hello, I am very interested, I have a decker and and mage/adept ready to go. the decker was built on the karma system so would take some tweaking though.

•How often you can post & when i.e. timezone etc...
I'm on CET and I'm normally online every day.
•Character idea
ex-cop mage
•Brief background
a cop mage who was kicked out of the force when they needed a scape goat for something that went wrong during the tempo scare. I'll just need to tweak it a little since the character is optimized for Seattle, and I'll have to adapt for neo-Tokyo. I have the corporate book where neo-Tokyo is in, so that won't be a problem. No heavy combat spells, more utility.
•Any current games your involved in
-New Beginnings (playing the Horizon series)
-Seattle Gauntlet
-some others who seemed to have died.

•How often you can post & when i.e. timezone etc...
I'm Arizona timezone, and can normally post everyday
•Character idea
Hardboiled detective changeling.
•Brief background
Leaving the force after some corruption went down, he became jaded to the world. Still wanting to live some of that life without the bullshit and corruption, he went into his own detective agency. Though due to his appearance (bi-pedal unicornish) he doesn't do much in the way of normal detective work, stands out too much, and tends to be more of a gun for higher.

Neverland, as the others died.

1- every day, if not multiple times USA central time zone
2- A recent immigrant. Someone shy and lonely who wants to find new friends, but so far, has been too frightened to try. Probably an ork swordsman i've got laying around.
3- raised by elves, taught the ways of elvish fencing as a physical adept. shy outsider wherever he goes.
4- I'm playing Duckdown in the Lockdown! campaign as well as running the Old Jack City game, but it seems to be having trouble getting off the ground.
Are we DEAD SET on 4th ed?
-
I like 4th better than 5th actually, although it's probably because I'm used to 4th and I only have the base book of 5th.
-
I personally prefer 4th over 5th myself. at least for the time. (I like mages better in 5th though :/)
-
How often you can post & when i.e. timezone etc...
Multiple times per day on average, GMT+6 (Houston, TX)
Character idea
Japanese Elf Swordsman, converted from 5th to 4th

Quick, agile, and deadly street samurai with a sense of honor and a bad rep for taking out a team member who tried to kill a defenseless target. From the description part of the above thread:
Seijin is an Elf male in his late 20s, exact age unknown, standing 2m tall and weighing in at just over 80kg. He wears loose, flowing clothes under an old floor length trench coat, and his personalized weapon focus, a cold-forged Katana, holstered on his back with the hilt sticking out from under the coat. He also carries a Steyr TMP and a few extra clips in a concealable holster underneath the coat, and keeps a survival kit on his person at all times which also holds additional pieces of armor like a ballistic mask and PPP armor for arms, legs, and vitals.
A diffucult man to read, Seijin has had extensive training in controlling his own feelings and emotions, and his philosophies have had him on edge of a fight with more than one team. He is, however, an incredibly skilled swordsman with what some say are nearly superhuman reflexes, and he has allegedly been known to slip past enemy fire to knock out the opposition using his fists or the pommel of his sword.
In combat he can be ferocious due in part to Hachiman's guidance and the subsequent blood-rage that occurs when he's wounded, and he is honorable to a fault. He will not accept missions where people who are unarmed and unable to defend themselves are to be harmed, and will refuse to accept such jobs. That being said, if a case can be made for why a particular person deserves to suffer, Seijin can be convinced to go against his beliefs; he will still, if given the opportunity, challenge such targets to single combat, a solution that has worked out favorably on a few occasions.
Brief background
As far as Takashi Sato knows, he was orphaned on the streets of Neo-Tokyo when he was just a child and he vividly remembers seeing the pain and suffering of his fellow metahumans up close and personal during his childhood. Though his early years were spent in abject poverty and in spite of suffering from severe malnutrition, Takashi grew quickly and the local gangs actively tried to recruit him as muscle when he was around 12 years old. After taking several beatings for refusing to join up with the gangers, he was eventually forced to leave his old neighbourhood when he accidentally killed a gang leader who personally tried to beat him into submission. He spent months on the run, eventually seeking refuge at a small Shinto temple where he begged the priests for food and shelter.
Having assensed the youth the moment they saw him, the priests took the distraught boy in without question. Unbeknownst to Takashi, the temple was a shrine to Hachiman, kami of war and protection, and the warrior-priests of the Ittō-ryū were always looking for worthy recruits. Before long, the priests made Takashi an offer; in exchange for food, shelter, and service to Hachiman, they would provide him with a general education, school him in the history and philosophies of the Bushido warriors of ancient times, and teach him the principles of armed combat.
After years of intense mental studies and rigorous physical exercise, Takashi, now in his mid-20s, had spent most of his adult life in service to the temple. The magical abilities that had manifested during his self-imposed exile had been honed to a point, and his knowledge of the world had increased exponentially. Ever since his arrival at the temple Takashi had felt the influences of the Kami guide his path, and none more so than Hachiman; it was at the Kami's urging that Takashi decided to venture out into the world to walk the Warrior's Way, fighting the injustices he had experienced as a child. Only through dedication to the ideals of Bushido could Takashi prove himself worthy in the eyes of Hachiman, and Takashi took the challenge head on.
The Kensei at his temple provided Takashi with contacts in the shadows, and he began working as an enforcer and protector under the alias Seijin, aka The Saint, and he always made sure that his team fought honorably and left no bodies unless absolutely necessary. Unfortunately, one such job went completely out of control when one of the newest team members, a sociopathic mercenary going by the alias KillSwitch, refused to leave any witnesses to their operation alive. The team had worn disguises so the witnesses would pose little to no threat, but KillSwitch was adamant. Takashi, at first conflicted by his loyalty to his cause and the loyalty to his team, was guided by Hachiman to step into the path of KillSwitch's bullets, an act which sent Takashi into a berserk state during which he ended his teammates life. Understandably, this action left a black mark on Takashi's reputation, and at the urging of his former teachers he left Japan to continue his work elsewhere.
Though rumours of his actions persisted, Sejin's reputation as a master swordsman preceded him. A fixer by the name of Jason Vale, aka Valen, recognized the rarity of someone with morals working the shadows, and saw Seijin as a kindred spirit. The fixer set Takashi, now living under the name Daisuke Kurosawa and still going by Seijin in the shadows, up with multiple bodyguarding jobs for prominent people of integrity and honor. Sejin may have just begun his path to become a Kensei himself, and he is still finding his way in the darkness.

Character idea
An elf ex-soldier, heavily combat oriented
Brief background
Was in the Japanese Army, he was a natural shooter and it seemed fit for him to join the military. He left because he didn't feel like he was getting enough action so he took to the streets and eventually, took to shadowrunning.

http://forums.shadowruntabletop.com/index.php?topic=17286.0 (http://forums.shadowruntabletop.com/index.php?topic=17286.0)
@Poindexter
Yes i am dead set on 4th as I don't have 5th yet.
I'm waiting for a few more books to be out yet.
-
I'll adapt the character during the week-end and then put it on chummer.
-
Woot! Posted the sheet in the OOC thread and attached a zip file with the chummer sheet in build mode. Cool as cool, cr4kpot!
-
Do you still have an open spot? If so, I would put forth a wheelman/medic/tracker character. A shady character that used to do bank jobs that fell out of favour with the mob after a change in management. I'll post a more detailed concept later.
I can post at least once a day, and I'm in Japan. I'm currently in one active game with Farothel, as everything else just died off (unfortunately :-[)
Roger grew up in Quebec. His father was a semi-pro rally driver and Roger was constantly in a car of some sort. He started as a co-pilot to his father on practice runs and quickly made his way behind the wheel of his own car. He wasn't half bad either: he consistently made it in the top 3 drivers season after season, until the company that was sponsoring him was taken over by the mob. They quickly recognized Roger's talent and soon Roger was matched with other "talented" people, driving them to and from various jobs. He sometimes had to drive away from various authorities, both in Quebec and the UCAS.
The mob paid well and Roger eventually got to do his own things, with a cut always expected from every job he did. This went on for a while, and thankfully Roger never got caught. Eventually, the boss Roger was working for got "replaced" and the new leaders decided that Roger was keeping too high a cut. When Roger's arrangement was "renegotiated", Roger wasn't happy with the turn of events and, along with a few others, decided to keep certain jobs to themselves. He kept a tight and loyal crew, using only outsiders when he was going to give a cut to the new boss.
One of his trusted teammates was caught skimming on another deal and, to avoid grave repercussions, ratted on the others. He eventually "disappeared", but only after the mob recovered their due. Roger, quickly piecing things together, paid what was owed with interest and was assured he would be safe. Wanting to be on the safe side of things, he left the UCAS for Neo-Tokyo, thinking the Japanese government's tight grip on things would make it harder for the mob to find him in the eventuality they wanted to tie up some loose ends.

How often you can post & when i.e. timezone etc: I can dedicate time every night to this, but realistically I can post once everyday or every other day. Eastern Standard Time.
Character idea: Human female infiltrator / street samurai. Both legs are complete cyberlimbs, customized for kicking the drek out of things, along with some martial arts. Good stealth skills, along with a bit of firearm skills.
Brief background: A corpkid from Evo, born with the sole purpose of demonstrating the upper limits of genetech and other augmentations. A botched extraction in NeoTokyo, coinciding with Crash 2.0, left her SINless and alone, Evo having no record of her existence as it was lost in the Crash. There she remained for years, scraping together a meager existence and just barely getting by. Growing up now in the shadows, like so many other SINless she turned to running, building up the connections she's now made in the underworld.
Any current games your involved in: None here unfortunately, though if you wish I can link to a couple other PbP games on a different forum I am involved in. Playing in two and GMing one.
Really hopeful on this, as I've been dying to play this character forever. May be new to these forums, but not Shadowrun, and I can pick up the etiquette here quick.

Ah okay then.
-
I'm currently on vacation away from home so I'm making the character through my phone, calculating everything with a pen and paper. I should have a first draft done by tonight, sorry for the delay.
