== Description ==
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 violently oppose such requests if need be. 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 opporuntiy, challenge such targets to single combat, a solution that has worked out favourably on a few occasions.

== 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 excile 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 his place at the temple to continue his work back in Neo-Tokyo.

Though rumours of his actions persisted, Sejin's reputation as a master swordsman preceeded 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. Living under the name Daisuke Kurosawa and still going by Seijin in the shadows, Valen set Seijin up with several security jobs for 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.

== Concept ==
Japanese Elf Swordsman; quick and agile, deadly with a blade. Honorable combatant taught the Bushido philosophy from a young age.

== Notes ==

Information on Enemy:
Ichiro "King" Oso is a male ork in his early 30s who stands just over 2.2m tall, and at 140kg of raw muscle he is well built. He can usually be seen wearing his signature black suit with gold detailing, and he fearlessly flaunts his status as the gang leader of the Black Emperors in his home turf of the Kabukicho district of Neo-Tokyo.

His brother Hatomi ran the Black Emperors gang when Seijin grew up on the streets of Neo-Tokyo in the late 50's, while Ichiro was doing time on the metahuman prison island of Yomi for armed robbery. Seijin killed Hatomi when the gang leader tried to recruit the young adept for the Black Emperors by force, and when Ichiro learned of the events he swore to avenge his brother by any means necessary.

In '63 Emperor Yasuhito closed down Yomi as part of his steps to reform Japanese society, and Ichiro was finally able to return to Neo-Tokyo. Ji-Sun "Business" Kim, a Korean Troll who had taken over control of the Black Emperors after Hatomi's demise, was his first target, and he challenged her to a duel as soon as he arrived home. The years spent in prison on Yomi had honed Ichiro's reflexes to a point, and while he'd been a savage fighter before he went away the fights in the yards had made him ruthless. In short order, he had hamstrung and disabled his opponent, and he killed the large troll by disembowling her, watching as she exanguinated in front of him and the rest of the gang.

During the years Seijin spent in seclusion at the temple, Ichiro shaped the Black Emperors into a more successful street gang in the Kabukicho district. He had learned from his mistake of going up against hard targets and carrying heavy ordenance, and he changed tactics accordingly. The Black Emperors now deal drugs to the wageslaves looking to for ways to escape and/or relax, they run protection for local bunraku parlors, and occasionally hire on as mercenaries for the local yakuza outfit when they run non-nationals out of business.

He is usually a quiet leader who prefers his actions to speak louder than his words, and his commands are carried out without question. He does not tolerate insubordination or failure, and more than one gang member has been taken out the King himself. Ichiro lives a comfortable life and will do anything to avoid going back to prison. He hasn't yet learned that Seijin is back in Neo-Tokyo, but when he does it is only going to be a matter of time until he gets a chance to exact revenge for his brother's murder.

Name: Roger Dubé
Alias: Dubs
Race: Elf
Sex: Male
Nationality: Quebec
Money: ¥
Lifestyle: ￥ 2,000 (1 month paid) Comforts 2, Entertainment 2, Necessities 2, Neighbourhood 2, Security 2, Network Bottleneck, Worse Neighbours (Bookies), Green Plan, Escape Tunnel
Karma: 0 (0 spent)
Physical Description: Stands at 6’2” tall, weighs around 110 Kg, has shoulder-length dark hair. He has a few tattoos (on the inside of his left forearm, it's a checkered flag on fire, on the right shoulder, a track helmet with his father's racing number on it).
Personality/background
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.

Title: Re: [4E - OOC] The SIN's of the father!
Post by: cr4kp0t on <07-12-14/1040:02>

hey guys, I;m at the GF's this weekend so AFB but will be reviewing the characters throughout the week,

First thoughts however:

@martinchaen

• Clarification of the armor and the options form attitude. While the books may be available I will be restricting it to a single enhancement otherwise it gets far too twink far too quickly as i;m sure you can appreciate. The armor is already high with just formfitting and PPP gear as is.
• The skills are fine but a little sparse, you may wan tt add a social skill in there

Overall I love the character and the back ground should prove to be an interesting character. Can't wait to see him in action.

@Raiden

• Clarification of the armor and the options form attitude. While the books may be available I will be restricting it to a single enhancement otherwise it gets far too twink far too quickly as i;m sure you can appreciate. The armor is already high with just formfitting and PPP gear as is.
• The martial arts/powers are a bit extreme - by this I mean at the moment you hitting for quite a lot of damage, while there nothing wrong with this I will just need to check that the qualities/PP are in the limits.
  
• Commlink - the empathy software has been capped I can see but at the moment the commlink has no OS and is as such useless also the empathy software requires a camera or some form of image link up that I can't see in your gear at all.
  
  • I presume given the throwing weapons skill you are planning on using the cougar's as thrown weapons, while I will allow this as they are not designed that way I will be providing an undisclosed dice pool penalty to the action so you may wish to swap these for throwing knives.
    
  [li]Again since you mentioned being the suave type I would have expected to see a few more social skills.
  
  The character certainly has promise and I have no objection to there being two combat types in the group but I am conscious that at the moment this character seems to more focused on combat than the suaveness that was advertised.

Cool as cool; removing all but Delta-Amyloid on mine.

Also dropping Infiltration down a little to pick up Leadership (Persuasion) to deal with civilians. Intimidation might be a better choice now that I think about it; if I can get someone to back down by convincing them I'm a threat they don't want to mess with so I don't have to kill them, all the better.

Will you allow Empathy software to work with Contacts with Vision Enhancement and/or Image Link? I already have Nanopaste Trodes, so I don't think Image Link is really necessary, but I can certainly add it easily enough.

Trodes will be fine as then your eyes will be the camera.

She rents a 50 square metre, 1-bedroom top floor apartment in an new building in the Odaiba ward.  It is not in the best of neighbourhoods, but due to the fact that the World Mall is 2 islands further, there is some security.  She has also spent a bit more on good locks and a decent firewall for the home node.  Inside it is cozy with cheap but good furniture and some good AR paint.  The bedroom is her magical lodge, while she sleeps on the couch in her living room.

background
Mariko was born as second daughter of a Neo-Tokyo PD homicide investigator and a supermarket logistics worker.  While there wasn’t much room for luxuries, they still lived a comfortable life and their parents, even though they were working hard, tried to spend some quality time with their children.  Her childhood was quite idyllic until she turned 13.  During a fight on the school yard she was involved in she suddenly dropped one of the others.  The investigation after the event indicated that she was awakened as a mage.  She was put in a special program for mages in high school, based on the Shinto tradition, and wanted to go to university.  But this was too expensive.  So Neo-Tokyo PD stepped in and paid for the courses in exchange for her coming to work for them after graduating.  She had no real problem with that, as she had always been intrigued by her father’s stories about investigations.

After getting a bachelor’s degree (despite seriously failing ritual spellcasting) she went to the Police Academy, where she was trained as a forensic specialist, although she did get the general courses as well.  After graduating she was placed in the homicide division in Odaiba. (regulations prohibited her from serving with family and her father was in Downtown).  It didn’t take long for her to see her first body.  That first case was pretty straight forward and the forensic evidence was only to support the confession they had gotten.

In the following years she gained a reputation as a good specialist who could find out very much with very few clues.  Her magical potential also continued to grow and she added spells to her repertoire that helped her finding clues, but due to the shortage of mages she would also due other things, like help with interrogations.  She wouldn’t be in the room itself, but she would be behind the mirror with a spell that would tell her where the suspect was lying.  She would then compare notes with the interrogator later.  As follower of the kami Fukurō (owl) she was skilled in detection.

When the tempo scare began in 2071, NTPD put resources on high alert, even though it didn’t affect Tokyo as much as it did other sprawls.  Mariko was also part of this and while she still did mostly forensics, she did saw a lot of combat during this period, including a couple of raids on tempo dens.  She got a couple of spells to help her during those, including spells to drop raging tempo addicts.  But not all went well.  In May her sister went missing.  As she was family of two NTPD people they did try to find the person responsible, but to no avail.  She did try to find her after her hours, even though it was against regulations for people to be involved in investigations concerning family it was often done and mostly allowed.  But in this case something went wrong and she accidentally contaminated a crime scene.  As woman she was the scape goat and she was fired.  Luckily for her mages were also wanted in the shadows as well and as forensic mage she wasn’t as well known as some street cops where.  Her training made her well suited for certain types of jobs and she also knew what she had to do to remove all traces from a crime scene, which she always did rigorously.

She specialises in private detective work, where her spells and skills work very well.  One of her first runs was for a Yakuza Kobun of the Wanabuchi-gumi, who wanted to have something handled discreetly to keep face within the organisation.  She did this quickly and in return he helped her getting some fake SINs.  She did some more things for him from time to time, but is not a part of the organisation.  She also did a few runs for Otome, again doing surveillance.

@ farothel

glanced over it and nothing stands out so far. will look at them all in full in the week.

The only thing I think you might want to have problems with is the empathy software, but I took that because from the look of it I'll be the face as well (having a charisma based tradition helps) and I don't have the skillset for it.  So I need an edge and the empathy software will give me that.  I've limited it at rating 3 (my commlink has response 4, so that should work) so it gives me an edge without it being too much.  And the police probably uses that kind of software to get an edge during interrogations.

GM crack  ;D sent you a PM explaining a few things/ for your approval. working on him some more. (statswise) just have to type up the backstory, speaking up, do you prefer overviews or in depth stories?


oh- I could  be doing 10dv base with a punch :D

on another note- not sure if I want to swing the half ork child approach (who was well off) or the elf approach, when I play a charismatic elf I feel... stereotypical :P

Just posted the character sheet. Any notes/remarks are welcome. Also, I did this all by hand so my calculations might be off, so I would greatly appreciate it if anyone spotted any mistake.

reviewed all the character's now.
just a few tweaks left then we can begin.

also still waiting for a decker but the campaign will work without it.
so do you guys want to proceed without a decker or wait a little/have the decker be  a mcguiver.

No suitable deckers, huh? I'm good with starting straight away or waiting, whichever suits you.

Seconded; I'm good either way.

Post by: farothel on <07-17-14/0115:44>

same here.  You're the GM, you know what we need right away and what can wait.  If you say a hacker can wait, we can start.

PS: I will be away from August 7th to 12th.  I will have internet access there, but I'm not sure if I'm going to have time to do a lot during that time.

So, cr4kp0t gave me the go ahead to bring in a decker/rigger.  Let me know if you have any questions or if anything looks wrong.

== Description ==
Completely unimposing in appearance, Yuri only has a few distinguishing features. She lost both her hands in an unfortunate accident when she was younger, and they've been replaced by complete cyberlimbs. Her style of dress, and her apartment nestled on the edge of Akihabara, demonstrates her otaku lifestyle, and she's almost never seen without a bunch of AR windows in front of her, or her drone hovering over her shoulder.

== Background ==
Her father Japanese, and her mother Russian, and both working for Evo, Rusalka was born a total corpkid. Her early years were fairly sheltered and normal, and it wasn't until she was brought along on a business trip to Neo-Tokyo did her desire for excitement finally come around. Caught up in a botched extraction, coinciding with Crash 2.0, resulted in her finding herself alone on the streets, no one knowing she was alive, and without a SIN, knowing that she even existed.

She scrapped together a meager existance here. Not very strong or athletic, she managed to get by using her smarts, hacking vending machines for food or picking locks to find shelter for the night. Her activities eventually caught the attention of the Bakuto no Bakuta, a Matrix/Rigger gang, and she happily accepted their offer to take her in. With the protection they provided, she began to flourish in her new life, finally getting off the streets, and eventually beginning to make a name for herself in the shadows of NeoTokyo.

@ Isane

Just a few comments and nothing too major I hope:

• The armor mods can they be cut down in lien with everyone else. i.e. one enhancement on top of any it has as standard.
• The hacked programs - yes perfectly legal (in a char gen perspective anyway) but having that many may prove problematic in game as that will be a hella lot of patching every month you may want to reconsider.
  
• the bulk modification on the cyber hands is a bit extreme, I wouldn't usually allow that level of bulk modification except on  full limb, it's just a bit ridiculous otherwise. my preference would be to lose it entirely but will allow one rank. this will of course mean tweaking the rest to fit in capacity.
  

Overall a nice rounded character until the gear really ,the commlink is probably a bit OTT for this campaign, it is not likely that you encounter anything challenging with this commlink. Last thing could I get a bit more info on the debt and the day job please.

---

Okay then guys as we have a full team now bar a few minor tweaks i'll get this game a going. Unless you have any objections I had intended that none of you know each other yet in game. the IC thread will be up later tonight.

Title: Re: [4E - OOC] The SIN's of the father!
Post by: Isane on <07-19-14/0408:50>

Yes, I think I have a problem with Shadowrun and gear.  I always have pages of stuff, and feel a little off when I notice how little others take.  There is just too much neat stuff.

For armor mods, was the limit on just things that increase the ballistic/impact value, or all mods?  Either way I totally forgot the dressCODE jacket comes with +2 chemical protection already, chummer just doesn't note it in the ensemble.  I'll do a bit of tweaking anyway then.

Yeah, that's the downside with hacked programs.  Either I'm going to be spending whatever downtime we get patching them, or just use my matrix gang contact to see if I can buy/snag said patches.  And of course, there's always stealing the patches right from the source if I need to  ;D

Will do some changing around on the cyber hands.  Keeping Snake Fingers, Armor, and Ultrasound Sensor on the left, and putting Snake Fingers, Orientation System, Smuggling Compartment, and Datajack on the right.  Moved some armor mods around, and got a cryptosense module and another month of lifestyle with the nuyen I saved getting rid of the extra bulk modifications.

I will definitely write up more fluff, I just wanted to get the gist down so you could take a look at it.  In Debt is to a street doc (Probably someone from The Bleeds, page 91 of Corporate Enclaves), back when she needed the nuyen to get her cyberlimbs fast.  Day Job represents the matrix work she does for the Bakuto no Bakuta.  They primarily work with AR, so she helps out when they need things done in VR.

Anyway, I'll edit the earlier sheet with the changes in just a moment.  Aaaand done.

Title: Re: [4E - OOC] The SIN's of the father!
Post by: farothel on <07-19-14/0433:23>

The patches you can indeed do through your hacker gang contact.  Every member (including yourself) patches one program and shares said patch with the rest of the gang.  That way you have to do only one (it takes one week and if you do it every month it's treshold 1, a hit you should be able to buy) and you get the others by sharing yours.  That's at least how I always did it when I played a hacker.

Title: Re: [4E - OOC] The SIN's of the father!
Post by: Isane on <07-19-14/0442:05>

And there's always the option of just buying patches, useful for when you need the program running the best it can as soon as possible.

Title: Re: [4E - OOC] The SIN's of the father!
Post by: martinchaen on <07-19-14/2044:53>

Yep; at 10% of cost from current (degraded) rating to new (desired) rating, the cost is minimal. Also, unlike programs with the Copy Protection option, hacked programs can be freely copied. So that Clearsight autosoft can freely be used on all drones. In my opinion, hacked programs are the only way of making a cost effective rigger.

That being said, the costs do add up. Moto, my SR4 rigger, has a patching cost of roughly 3k per month, mostly because he's also pretty good hacker; the hacking programs degrade every month, while pretty much everything else only degrade every other month. The data search time to find patches is measured in minutes, so if you have a good Data Search skill and access to a warez group you can knock out 30 patches in as many minutes.

Title: Re: [4E - OOC] The SIN's of the father!
Post by: farothel on <07-20-14/0334:34>

You only need the patches for the hacking programs.  The other ones, like analyse and browse, you can buy legally and have the patches come to you via company upgrades.  Those are legal programs everybody can have, so there's no need to go with pirated copies which cost a lot of time and money to keep current.  My character, who isn't a hacker and therefore only has regular programs, has legal versions of them.

Title: Re: [4E - OOC] The SIN's of the father!
Post by: Isane on <07-20-14/0412:02>

Like Martin said, hacked programs can be shared freely, so I don't have to worry about anything if I for instance wanted my Agent to be using the same program as me at the same time.  It's also mainly just a question of if you want to save nuyen now or later.

Also, had one last tweak to make, basically just dropping the Dragonfly drone and improving the grades of some of the cyberware.

Seijin is currently carrying four weapons and wearing all of his armor except the helmet, which is back at the apartment. If anyone objects, he will remove the SecureTech armor pieces and hand over his shock glove and forearm snap-blades, but he'll object to anyone even trying to remove his katana (and weapon focus) and he will attempt to conceal the ceramic knife (can't be detected by MAD scanners, and is stored in a concealed holster (-2) under his Vashon Island Longcoat (-2), with a base concealability of -2, for a total of -6).

Oh jeeze didn't notice the IC thread was up, working on a post now.

Also martin, I believe concealable holsters just give -1

Title: Re: [4E - OOC] The SIN's of the father!
Post by: martinchaen on <07-20-14/2220:13>

Quite possible, I'm playing both 4th and 5th live and PBP games so I might get some details wrong occasionally.

Will check once I have access to books.

Edit:
Nope, turns out I was right; the Vashon Island Synergist line from Arsenal features holsters that provide -2 to concealability that is cumulative with the -2 for the longcoat, which is what Seijin is wearing.

Also, cr4kp0t:
Are the other characters in the waiting room the other players (Dubs, Yuri, Tantei, raiden's guy), or someone else? If the latter, how well do we know these people and what are their names? If the former, how well do we know each other? Seijin obviously doesn't have the best of reputations (it's pretty atrocious, actually).

I can see Seijin having worked with all of the others at some point; they would all know about his propensity for not taking jobs that includes straight up killing someone, as well as for stepping in if someone tries to hurt someone who is defenseless. They would also know of his incredible skill with his blades as well as his speed (having seen him in action), and that he doesn't speak much except through his art.

What would Seijin and the others know about your character in turn?

Title: Re: [4E - OOC] The SIN's of the father!
Post by: farothel on <07-22-14/0535:15>

what I like is the fact that the human and the ork have more charisma than the elves (who actually get a bonus on charisma).  :)

I have probably worked together with Seijin, as we're both from the same Shinto Tradition.  And she has the same outlook on killing people (don't do it unless there's absolutely no other option).  In fact, I don't have any spell to kill things with (unless with overflow).

Dubs is probably fairly new in town and I might know Yuri from my time as police officer.  Not sure about the last one, but it's possible.

What the others might know about Mariko:
-she was a police officer (and still has some of the sensibilities going with it, like protecting innocents and stuff like that).
-she's a mage in the Shinto tradition, follower of the kami Fukurō (actually, Fukurō is owl in Japanese according to google translage)

Title: Re: [4E - OOC] The SIN's of the father!
Post by: martinchaen on <07-22-14/0711:10>

Awesome stuff, farothel; Seijin would definitely approve. All right, so we'd know of each other at the very least, probably have done a few jobs.

Isane, HydroRaven, Raiden; thoughts?


Also, starting nuyen:

Also, also;
Hachiman, Seijin's Mentor Spirit, is described as both the God of War and, according to Wiki, "more correctly" as the tutelary deity of warriors and the protector of Japan; his symbolic animal is the dove, of all things. I'm using the Bear Mentor Spirit rules for Hachiman.

Post by: Isane on <07-22-14/1542:10>

Well, crackpot said he intended for us to not know each other, so I'm not really sure how much would be okay for us to know about each other.  You could probably pick up that Yuri is a ganger, though she acts more like a Japanese schoolgirl.

Title: Re: [4E - OOC] The SIN's of the father!
Post by: martinchaen on <07-22-14/1740:06>

Yeah, that's why I was a little confused about who these other people were :-)

Title: Re: [4E - OOC] The SIN's of the father!
Post by: HydroRaven on <07-22-14/1803:59>

Yeah, I also thought the characters didn't know each other, and since Dubs is relatively new in town, I'll assume he's probably the character with the least knowledge about the rest of the team.

But if anyone knew anything about him (and I'll leave that to crackpot to tell us if they do), they'd know that he's a pretty decent wheelman, has a good ride and is somewhat proficient with first aid. He lives for cars/racing, and often talks about it or references it.

Was the body that got dumped visibly alive? In other words, would Seijin have been able to tell if it was a dead body or just someone who'd been badly beaten.

yes i am following the guideline in corporate enclaves for the most part so yes common etiquette is for the fixer to act as the go between.

The man is impeccably well dressed,  far too well dressed it would seem. a perfect clean shave and neatly trimmed haircut in a common business style.

He seems completely out of place with the surroundings. he should be in some modern office not the backroom office of a local jakuza teahouse.

All right, Seijin doesn't have much more to say or do until we arrive at the stadium. Once again, he will willingly surrender his obvious weapons (shock glove and forearm snap-blades), but will hang on to his ceramic knife (unless they find it) and katana (he won't part with this for anything).

Seijin will just see if he notices anything out of the ordinary, like someone who doesn't look like they belong. Essentially doing his job as a bodyguard, even if he doesn't know who the principal is yet.

Holy smokes. That roll right there has a probability of 1.63%, which means I won't be seeing that again for a while :)

EDIT:
Re-reading the description two posts up, I get the feeling we're in a private box, aka reserved private room kind of thing. Am I correct in assuming we're alone in here? If yes, consider the above roll used for spotting anything that might have been out of place on the way to the box, as well as checking inside the room (unless you want me to roll again for that).

In that case, Seijin will probably just hang out and wait for the Johnson to arrive.

Also trying to remember if he's heard anything about this Rush person on the street:

Thanks for the heads up, farothel, I don't mind waiting if we desperately need your services.

And a big cheers from me for head up it's always good to know. I'm actually kind of jealous so make sure you have a good time.

Now back to business...

@ farothel:
Assensing results:
As you view the astral there is nothing of any particular import...

The front of house staff were really tired and bored but completely mundane and had nothing of interest.
During the walk round the private area you passed one patrol of two guard both are mundane with some cyber installed.

Otherwise the palace is totally mundane nothing of any interest on the astral.

@ martinchaen:
Perception:
You pulls out all the camera and sensor positions of the passive security. It's a standard set up and due to the public nature of the place there area lot of cameras. There are the frequent emergency exit that you;d expect as well so many escape routes should something happen.

The guards you walk past visiting the box are better than your standard flat foot but are still rather pathetic and have not real combat effectiveness they are there as a deterrent more than anything else.

Knowledge:
The word on the street for this guy is that he is some corporate heir. The trust fund would be enough enough for most before the exorbitant corporate salary to barely show up at the office. All because daddy works higher up of course.

He's an accomplished dirt driver and has been seen all over town in shows from the dirty side street to big stadiums like tonight. Supposedly he's linked to the Mita-Gumi but there is nothing concrete linking them. A total playboy he's been caught out more than few times.

The weird thing is for someone that has everything made and a life most would kill for he still invests a lot of effort trying to get into the shadows.

@ isane:
Data search results
You have no shortage of data to sift through, I mean your used to looking up people who try to hide stuff about yourself. this seems more like a celebrity, his face is everywhere and not always for the good reason.

There is huge amount of footage and press of his dirt/stunt biking, and too much footage of his 'private' life. He's listed with a corporate SIN that is linked to Mitsuhama, some junior executive and from what you can discover behind the barrage of extraterritorial information blocks he is junior executive working on several large industrial projects.

@ hydroraven:
Knowledge roll
Rush is  a young stunt bike rider, he is very good and is wanted for shows all over. Supposedly he works for some corp and due to family ties is made, which probably explains why the only fee he ever takes for his shows is a luxury suite for the after-party. He's as flamboyant off the dirt as he is on it and is seen to be a playboy around town.

I will try.  I managed it the last 4 times, so there's no reason it won't be fun this time around.

Anyways, assensing specially the stunt rider.

@ Farothel
Assensing results:

From your view of his aura you can tell he has a mild sense of anxiety about tonight but not regarding the death defying stunts before him in fact those he's loving completely.

He's mundane but has got a reasonable suite of ware that has brought his essence to 3.35
== Cyberware/Bioware ==
Muscle Augmentation
Muscle Toner
Sleep Regulator
Synthacardium
Tailored Pheromones
Wired Reflexes

He's in excellent health in general just some minor bruising.

[EDIT]
Hey cr4kp0t, did the Johnson ever give any indication as to whether he intends the join the team and follow whatever plan they come up with, or if he has some sort of preference. The one thing I can't wrap my head around as a player is how he can get us passcards without them being linked to him.

In other words, if we go in as maintenance workers, will he join us as one?

Oh, and do we know which floor the server room is on? This could be crucial in terms of "do we take the stairs" or not :)

Title: Re: [4E - OOC] The SIN's of the father!
Post by: HydroRaven on <08-15-14/0707:22>

Just a few theories I would believe: the man had someone in security that owed him a favour and he decided to get some fake passes made up. He also could have swiped a few from people in the locker room. Maybe he contracted another hacker to hack into the mainframe from the outside and create some fake passes, and he's using a different set of runners just so that if the hacker gets somehow discovered the whole operation doesn't get blown.

Not trying to make up anything here, just saying there could be a number of reasons for the client to come up with passes that won't tie him directly with a theft/sabotage.

Post by: cr4kp0t on <08-15-14/1615:53>

Broadly speaking the Johnson ahs left it wide open and is expecting you to tell him what to do for you...  and perception check or talk to Johnson to find out more.

The server room is on the 14th floor, the is no direct elevator access to that level for security reasons. but there is to the levels either side of it.

Title: Re: [4E - OOC] The SIN's of the father!
Post by: HydroRaven on <09-07-14/2347:44>

I don't see what else the team needs to plan for. I guess they agreed to go in as delivery people, using Yuri's van and will escape from the same way they came in. Am I missing something?

Title: Re: [4E - OOC] The SIN's of the father!
Post by: farothel on <09-08-14/0233:07>

I think the things we still have to do can be assumed done in the background:
-get the logo of a company that delivers stuff where we have to be (Mr. J can tell us which and the logos can easily be downloaded from their matrix site)
-get some RFID tags to put on the boxes (official boxes have those): regular RFID tags cost nothing and are easily programmed, so that shouldn't be a problem either
-load the boxes: some of the equipment we went inside but can't carry openly and the rest we can load with stuff that looks real but isn't (a trip to a local scrapyard can provide most of the stuff we need)
-repaint the van: again, logos and things like that should be easily obtained.

Title: Re: [4E - OOC] The SIN's of the father!
Post by: HydroRaven on <09-08-14/0409:36>

Just thinking as a player, not a character here: wouldn't it be safer for our runners to steal a van instead of risking getting Yuri's van being recognised/linked to the team later on? They could steal a van directly from the delivery company a few hours before the run so it's 100% legitimate when they show up for their delivery.

Title: Re: [4E - OOC] The SIN's of the father!
Post by: martinchaen on <09-08-14/1130:13>

Either way sounds good; Seijin doesn't have much more to add here.

Title: Re: [4E - OOC] The SIN's of the father!
Post by: cr4kp0t on <09-08-14/1216:09>

I'm fine with either way...

in the interest of time i'm certainly in agreement with wrapping things up for now...

Title: Re: [4E - OOC] The SIN's of the father!
Post by: Isane on <09-08-14/1539:38>

I'm more fond of stealing a van, just it leaves a lot more room for possible problems if security at the place catches wind of a delivery van being stolen just a short time before one arrives.

If we do use my truck, as long as we can leave with it safely, I'm confident I can arrange things so I won't have to worry about it being tracked down later. 

Title: Re: [4E - OOC] The SIN's of the father!
Post by: farothel on <09-08-14/1549:19>

What kind of van is it actually?  If it's one that sells in the thousands, you should be safe.
'We're looking for a white Ford Transit?'
'There's only 1200 of those in this city, good luck.'

Title: Re: [4E - OOC] The SIN's of the father!
Post by: Isane on <09-08-14/1558:32>

It's a GAZ-P179 pickup truck, so yeah, common enough, and with a simple paint job, plate change, and some reworking of its wireless stuff, it can practically be a new vehicle.  So like I said, as long as it can get away safely, it's no problem for me.  And if we have trouble escaping, that's what my CD Dalmatian is for.  It will also save time and have less immediate risk if we use my truck, so we might as well.

Title: Re: [4E - OOC] The SIN's of the father!
Post by: HydroRaven on <09-08-14/1950:58>

I don't see how they would get wind of a delivery truck being stolen. The only way that could happen would be if the delivery company itself informs all their clients of it, and that could spell disaster for them. On top of that, the client (company who's merchandise is being delivered) would have to inform THEIR clients of a possible fake van, which would create tensions between them for no apparent reasons.

Anyways, it was just an idea, I thought it would make for a fun side-quest :)

I might be a little busy the next few days.  Suffice to say Yuri will go ahead and meet with Rush's mechanic to get her truck painted up right, all while keeping a very close eye on things.

Can you use a dobberman drone as carrier.  I mean, put a crate on it and pretend it's there to help you carry the crates?  It might be an idea to get it in, unless there's a machine gun mounted on it.

Post by: Isane on <10-01-14/1734:20>

That might actually work.  I put chameleon coating on both the drone and its mounted weapon (just in case), so with a tiny bit of work I could cloak the weapon and put one of the crates over it.  Would that be just a regular vehicle mechanic test to rig something up so it could balance a crate on top of it cr4kp0t?

Actually yeah, we're gonna have to do that, since I didn't take any mechanic skills since I was going to rely on my contact for that.

Also Farothel, it's a pickup truck, not a van.  Can still fit everyone in the cab, but not a lot of room.

I forgot that those delivery people always have some form or other to sign.  but assuming there are a number of such firms, it would be fairly easy to download those forms from their website (I think you can do that even today, although I'm not sure).
