Namaste, saathiharoo!
This is the official OOC thread to Street Scum. You know how it works.
Please post your characters here again. This way, it's very easy to look up stats.
Please do not post a second post until every player has posted his character or a placeholder. Use Recruitment until everybody's character is online.
Thanks!
If you have any questions on the gang (or rather: group of youths protecting each others), culture or Kathmandu 2075, feel free to ask (after everybody posted his characters, of course).
Ah, and here:
NPCs
Some gangers
- Man Bahadur: The oldest of our kids (20), and a big brother for everyone.
- Anita: A young girl (11) who is slick as a shadow and an amazing thief.
- Simmy: A boy of about 12 who is always getting into trouble. One of his reasons is that he loves to play with knives. And people. And both simultaneously.
- HarleQueen: The 17 years old ork girls is the ugliest person that was ever born to a homo sapiens. At least so she thinks. True, she's not a pretty although there acutally might be uglier persons (if you search long enough). In her teens she tried to camouflage it with make-up. It didn't work out so well, so she put on more make-up. When this didn't work, she still used more. People started calling her names like "clown" or "harlequin". By this time, she Awakened. Being able to hurt people just by thinking hard of it (and knowing many people you'd love to hurt) is a big boost in regard of your self-estimation. Thus, the little girl stopped avoiding her names, and instead embraced them. She started coloring her face (and other body parts) in artistic colors: sometimes clown-like, sometimes skeleton-like, sometimes just colorful. She now calls herself HarleQueen and kicks ass just as everybody else does.
- Sissy: The 16 yo old boy hates violence and would rather be an elf than a troll. Still, a troll he is and he isn't ashamed of it. He has got a lot of piercing, tattoes and artistic scars to make himself look like the meanest bad-ass there is, just to disencourage people who are looking for a fight. Ah, and there's this huge spike club of his.
- Kiran the cripple: He's not a cripple, he's just not particularly strong. But he's bright and very fond of reading. Kiran is not the archetype of the weak genius who knows everything and keeps saying stuff like "I once read in a book than chewing gum reacts with this kind of chemicals you find in the new pencils of Mitsuhama which will explode if a male barghest comes close." He just loves books and really is a cutie. He's usually hangs out with
- Pita. An ork girl of 14 who loves talking to Kiran and has in muscles what she lacks in brains. They make a good team, though.
- Nishan: A 11 year old boy. He's quite fond of Lucky and the others. He always tries to get some attention from his elders, which comes quite annoying at times.
- Sharmila: wounded young girl
- Pratiksha (16): One of the elder girls. She does a lot of "girl things" like sewing, cleaning and stuff. Also sewing and cleaning wounds.
Some former gangers
- Musaa (mouse): The boy is 9 years old and his true name is Bikki. But everyone started to call him mouse, not only because he was very small, but also because the little thief was always walking alone, on his own. Yeah, if you think about it, mice are not really solitary animals, but you never actually did think about it. Musaa left on one of his strolls through the city roughly four and a half months ago and never came back.
- Som: The 16 year old boy is strong and calm, yet somewhat strange. When he went to nick some rupees three months ago, he never came back (nor did the money).
- Durga: She's 14 and a nice (though very naive) young girl. She even had sort of a job (she helped in a kitchen). One day two months ago, she left without explaining a single word.
- Binita: The 15 year old girl was best friends with Durga. After Durga's disappearance she left to search for her, never to return.
- Prakash: The 17 year old do-no-good allegedly was killed in a fight with gangers from another group, though his death was never confirmed.
Envorinment
- Keshav: He is one of Sano Souraj's men, but never truly understood Souraj's mission. He controls our block and comes every now and then to "politely ask for a contribution to this just cause". He's a drunkard, loves to hit children and is not a nice fellow in general. That doesn't mean he's evil, just a little mean. In case we really need something, we still might consider consulting him.
- Crack: The ork is a former shadowrunner. He's not the youngest anymore and doesn't look for thrill. He works for Keshav to make sure the donations come right where they belong.
- Sabina: Keshav's child. She's suffering from an uncurable and very unpleasant disease.
- Ama Pema: An elderly woman who runs a little grocery in the neighbourhood. She is a kind madam and sometimes gives us fruit or vegetables which are only a little rotten.
- Suman: Ama Pema's husband. He's a grumpy old alcoholic and doesn't really share his wife's beneficial inclinations.
- Father Rajesh: The old ascet and sadhu is the only really Awakened person we know. Father Rajesh prefers his version of loneliness in the slums of Kathmandu, but he's a kind and good-natured person. And a beggar which is a nuisance as people prefer giving money to him than to us.

Character:
Riker (or Rajkumar, but only his mother called him that) is a 16 year old street rat from the dumps of Kathmandu. Born as the bastard son to his native mother and a some westerner, he learned early two important lessons: Nothing in life is free and on the street your particular life is exactly as much worth as you can fight for tooth and nail. This philosophy was reinforced through his obsessive fascination for combat biking. For the past four years Riker kept a job as a bike courier to support his mother and little brother Priya as well as saving up to one day own his own motorcycle. In his circle of friends and acquaintances he is notorious for being reckless, relying on luck and chutzpah, even if a minute of thinking could have provided a better result. "Learning from mistakes is just another word for quitting."
That was the case until last week: Someone stole Riker's most precious possession: His 18 gear mountain bike. Now he is not just a bit desperate but positively homicidal. Worse, the local go-gang thugs are recruiting. Now he is seriously tempted to take part in their brutal initiation ceremony, just to have a shot at riding again...

Overall appreance
Scipio is relatively tall (but not remarkably) and pretty skinny (but not too remarkably). He keeps his dark hair long enough to mostly cover-up his pointy ears (but, of course, not remarkably long). He actively tries to avoid trouble and therefore tries to hide eventual arms, which he uses - if possible - only to defend himself and his friends. He doesn't speak a lot and if he does, he tries to be as polite and diplomatic as possible, although his behavior might change when speaking to his close friends. He actually is quite the sarcastic guy, but since he knows that many people fail to understand irony and sarcasm, he tries to drop it when interacting with strangers.
He is doesn't see his foes as "pure evil" and always tries to understand their motives, which often makes him hesitate to use violence or even kill his foes.
A few rules, by which he (if possible) lives:
"Be nice to those who like you, but even nicer to those who don't."
"Never make an enemy if you can make a friend."
"Don't start a fight whose outcome you can't predict."
Contacts:
- Old Suman
... is an ill old man who runs what he calls a shop and what anyone else would probably call an old pushcart. Scip used to help him sell his papads when he was not in the constitution to do so.
- Bajitha
An elven streetgirl who had to struggle with the same problems as Scipio had to. They once had a pretty close friendship, but she lately found an old "patron" that sort of adopted her in exchange for some services, so they hardly see each other these days.
-Pred
When Scipio was in desperate need of money or anything special, he went to Pred to do some jobs and runs for him. Not a very likable fellow, but a reliable one, who makes his life by selling guns, people and other, darker things.

Questions
What’s his reason to be a shadowrunner/member of a street gang?
Scipio left his home because he thought his place would rather be in the streets together with people he cared for and that cared for him than live a life he despises
What would make him end his career as a runner ?
Even if he had the possibilities to start a "civilized life", he probably wouldn't like to abandon his friends.
Would he ever kill? For what reasons?
Scipio doesn't like hurting people. He would prefer leaving his enemies be, but if there is no other choice, he is willing to kill his foes.
Would he rob an old lady or a beggar? In what situation?
He's not the type of guy, that would pick on the little one. He would rob/hurt an innocent or especially a weaker person only in a truly desperate situation.
How does he appear to strangers?
Bland. He tries to avoid trouble and therefore also avoids attention if possible. He's a calm, polite dude who likes to stay in the background of things.
What kind of relationship does he have to:
… animals? He's not a sodomist, if that's what you mean…
… orks/trolls? He's extra-careful not to start a fight with a physical-superior being, therefore he treats orks and trolls as respectful as possible.
… dwarves? Scipio has no prejudices against dwarves and is careful not to underestimate "the short ones".
… elves? He has great respect for his own kind, since he knows how hard it is to deal with the daily prejudices of a nectar-drinking daisy-eater.
… women? Should he find himself attacked by a woman, he would defend himself, just like against a male attacker, but he is probably less aggressive against women.
… foreigners? In the streets, everyone is equal, wherever he comes from.
… men? He sees men as more likely to be aggressive, so he has less trouble fighting a man than a woman. Still, he prefers peaceful methods over violence.
… other people in general? He is polite and tries not to provoke or hurt anyone without a very good reason.
… his own religion? He sees god as a man-made illusion and therefore has no religion.
… other religions? He sees religion as a waste of time and therefore sort of pities people who actively participate in any religion. He doesn't dislike religions, he simply can't understand them.
… his family? Scipio hates his family for their ignorance and unfair behavior. The
… magic? Since he doesn’t understand magic and finds it hard to predict an awakened, so he is generally more cautious and skeptical towards magic-users.
… his friends? He is loyal to his friends and always tries to be as helpful as possible. Scipio stands up for his friends, although he doesn't like aggression.
…his enemies? He always tries to understand both sides in a conflict, therefore he doesn't blindly condemn his foes. He's willing to listen to everybody, since he values the feather much mightier than the sword.
Which kind of social ties are there?
Scip cut off all social ties to his family. He despises his parents and everything he connects with them, like his former name or their relative wealth. He prefers the friends he chose by himself, to whom he holds a much greater bond than he ever had to his parents.
When would he call someone a friend?
He chooses his friends carefully. Although he is friendly to everyone, he doesn't share things about his private life etc. with many people. He only trusts a few people, like his closest gang-fellows.
Is he prejudiced? In what way?
"Money stinks", as a saying he knows goes, is the only prejudice he really has. He's very tolerant but despises wealth and capital, which he sees as a major cause for the world's problems.
Are there some important events in his past?
When he broke up with his family, he took his life in his own hands for the first time. He is proud of going his own way.
Is he in love?
Scipio doesn't easily build up close relationships. So far, he didn't let anyone close enough to his heart to build up real love.
Is he in a partnership or even married?
Nope.
What frightens him?
The only things he really values are his own life and that of his closest friend. He's pretty afraid of loosing one of them or his own life.
What’s his greatest ambition?
Some people just want to see the world burn. Scip's definitely not one of them. In fact, he dreams of a peaceful life for him and his friend, a life in a world without fighting, or at least a relatively safe life. His greatest ambition is to be able to protect his loved ones without having to hurt other people and to overcome social injustice.
What drives him on?
On the one hand, his desire for a "fairer" world and thrives him on and makes him stand up for his rights and those of his friends. On the other hand, he just tries to get himself some sort of a meal and a place to sleep.
What his greatest advantage?
He's clever and knows how to use both his mouth and his hands. (wow, just realized how wrong that sounds…)
What his greatest disadvantage?
He often tends to talk too much and fight too less. And since he's always willing to understand his opponent's side, ho sometimes shows to less aggression and compassion to fight for his own right.
What’s his Achilles heel?
Scipio is very likely to forgive an enemy, if he feels like that foe isn't "pure evil". He might be easily fooled by a good actor and liar.
What makes him furious?
Not very much, besides seeing his close friends or himself getting hurt. Badly hurt.
What does he love?
The few people he really holds dear. And good food. :P
Which kind of persons does he fancy?
He likes to surround himself with socially interested people, that care about each other and value the group's good more than their own interest, just like he does. And he likes people who understand sarcasm and irony, cause it's just funnier that way.

Jake-Fixer (2, 5)
Jake runs a local gang that control this neighborhood. He always asks for little services and Lucky cannot refuse otherwise he cannot play there. Jake pays nuyen that is usually enough for a few weeks of a warm meals and cold showers - Lucky loves being clean.
pops (1, 6)
‘pops’ - his guardian angel in the shadows, pop is a shadow of his former glory but he is still more dangerous than the average ganger. People should know not to mess with Lucky.
Tammie (3, 4)
Tammie is the local copper, she likes Lucky and tries to get him to stay out of trouble. Tammie obviously treats Lucky differently. Lucky is among the few in the streets that agrees to talk to her. She also always brings something hot to eat. One of the times, she even gave lucky two front row tickets to a rock concert. It was the best day of his life.

== Description ==
Lucky is a young male human of average height he has long dark hair and dark eyes. He is skinny but relatively healthy. he wears a worn down leather jacket and a matching hat. If you see’s lucky without his guitar - you know something terrible must have happened he protects his guitar with his life. He has a star shaped necklace that he never takes off - and he usually also has a teaser on his right hip - trying to deter gangers from messing with him.
== Background ==
Lucky, yes this is my name. You got that right, just Lucky no family name because have no family no point in faking it. I live in the streets where I play my guitar all day and make enough money to find something to eat.
I want to become a great performer but honestly I’ll settle on making it to my next birthday. I am 17, I still carry a necklace that was abandoned with me. I want to know what happened to my parents and why they left me to die on the street. I survived because an old Samurai took me under his care and brought me to an orphanage and kept visiting me.
I call him ‘pops’ because one of his cyber eyes is so old it keep ‘poping’ out. pops was once a shadowrunner, a great warrior but he put so much metal in his body it is impossible to hug him, hold his hand or look into his eyes. There is a real person in there, I am sure. ‘pop’s never talk to me more than one word. ‘eat’... ‘take’ but he is involved in my life ever since I can remember myself. He is very sick, and his augmentation barely function anymore, he barely makes it on his own yet he never forgets my birth day.
I hate myself for thinking it, but sometimes I wish ‘pops’ would find my parents and use his implemented shotgun to blow their heads out... This is not like me, I have a teaser - I am not stupid but I could never bring myself to kill anyone - this is how you become messed up like ‘pops’.

Perfect, thank you. Seems like the ooc thread it's now open to spam.
Like this: Are you sure this is the right time to tease Mouse? Or did you mean taser? :D

That little gun that shoots electric arrows at people ;)

Taser it is, then ;-)
As Novocrane already suspected, this should come as a surprise not only fluff-wise but also in rule terms. Sorry not to say so explicitely. In order to speed things up, I'll determine the initiative myself in this case. If anyone wants to do it himself (is there a herself around?), please tell me so and I won't roll your dice in future.
So, we have:
Lucky: Lucky's Surprise roll (http://orokos.com/roll/264657): 10d6t5 4
not surprised; your INI roll counts
Scipio: Lucky's Surprise roll (http://orokos.com/roll/264657): 10d6t5 4
Initiative Roll (http://orokos.com/roll/264659): 1d6+9 12
-10 due to surprise means INI 2
Hari: Hari Surprise roll (http://orokos.com/roll/264660): 6d6t5 1 surprised. Initiative Roll (http://orokos.com/roll/264661): 1d6+6 10 No actions in this phase unless you spend Karma. Sorry.
Riker: Jack_Spade has rolled for himself
Musaa: Initiative Roll (http://orokos.com/roll/264663): 1d6+5 8
In other words:
Riker: 16
Lucky: 15
Musaa: 8
Scipio: 2
Hari: 0
I don't know how exactly Disarming works, but I assume it is a Called Shot and will thus roll a Defense roll for Musaa:
Defense (http://orokos.com/roll/264664): 5d6t5 3
Dodging the taser: Dodge (http://orokos.com/roll/264665): 5d6t5 2
Soak: Soak (http://orokos.com/roll/264666): 3d6t5 1
9 Stun - you knocked him out
Hope I didn't confuse any rules now...
-
By the way - help me out in here - what do you roll for surprise?
I rolled perception but I guess the dice relates to Lucky's emotional state

A question regarding Big Fun: What kind of hotel do you want to break in? A high level Pashupati fancy hotel or a low-standard shabby hotel Buttaspali people would frequent (but still with a warm shower)?
-
A small, privately owned hotel that still relies on mechanical locks.
I imagined it belonging to a tightfisted Chinese gentleman, known for his bad temper and no tip policy ;)
-
Lucky don't have medical training, (or logic) but stopping a bleeding is something that you learn in a one hour course. Just apply pressure - you do not even need bandages you can use your hand. (but then you are tied up to the person until they reach hospital). I see it as more of a common sense then a technical skill. If he can't do so mechanically I'll just erase the post. ;)
-
We still need to get the bullet out and generally apply first aid - so I'd say it is more of a fluff anyhow ;)
Anybody got a first aid kit? or is skilled in first aid?
-
So you can be the one that improvises somthing... I'll change the IC.
Now lucky just gives you his shirt.
-
Since it will take Riker some time to find the old man, I'll respond to that later. I'm busy now. As you can see, I constantly update the NPC list.

Jack_Spade
Please make a AGI+REA - test to avoid bumping into the thug. If you hit a second score, you can even avoid running down that dude who sells fruit on his bike-store. Those two don't look like a serious threat (well, to you they are, but not in general). Just two bored youths who're looking for some prey to make their evening worthwile.
The others

We can skip the scene with Sharmila. She's not gonna die. In RL, I'd have roleplayed the scene, but if you want we can fast-forward to the point when you have explained to M.B. dai what happened and waited for Musaa to wake-up. Tik chha?

Have you lost Edge already? I don't think you can regain some, since you never used it, did you?
I'll try and get a post up tomorrow.

Had to spend Edge to not get shot to death on the first page ;)
-
Ah, yah, you did. Nope, I wouldn't say it qualifies (yet). But I'll keep it in mind ;-)

Riker
Since the spirits described in Street Grimoire don't really fit the description of Hindu magic, or my impression of Hinduism in general, I took the liberty to allow them spirits of Men instead of spirits of Plant. Hindiusm being a tradition which is focussed on the mastery of mind and the ever-lasting cycle of rebirth in the form of animals and humans, I saw that fit.

As soon as you have discussed what to do, you can fast-forward to whatever location or point of time you have chosen to start your investigation any time.
-
@Jack: I'll give the others a day to react/discuss before Baba Rajesh and you return to the hive.
-
Novocrane, you still with us?
-
What kind of respect was the baba expecting?
-
Greeting, for instance. Bowing. Appreciating his help. Giving him the feeling of being the respectful person he is. Stuff like that.
I hope you took no offense. Maybe it's just me not being used to pbp. It's my first time I'm a GM in a pbp. Usually, I only play in real-life, and in real-life you wouldn't miss to greet him or show respect. Since he was about to walk away anyway, this kinda concluded his visit. I hope that's fine by you.
@all: I really like the setting but I'm afraid the whole thing might die. There hasn't been a post for quite a time. I offered you to fast-forward to the point where Musaa wakes up but I didn't get any reply. If you like this thread, too, please try and keep it running. I will set up Musaa's waking-up post after work (i.e. in one hour, approx.).
After Friday, I'll be in the mountains for one and a half weeks. I don't know how much I can post. There's someone who could continue it for me in my absence but only if you decide which branch of investigation you pursue today or tomorrow (do you go to a street doc to ask about the slot, ask in the streets about the ash on his forehead, drink yourself to death, etc.). It would make it a lot of easier, if you could decide quickly!
Thanks! :)
-
You can assume that unless otherwise stated Lucky behaves with the ettiqute.
I just don't want to RP every bow, smile or nod - especially when the phase of the game is a post a day or worse. Basically lucky is waiting for the child to awaken.
-
Well, I'd ask you to roleplay that anyway, since this is what a roleplay game is about. But of course I will consider this in future. But you know, the atmosphere relies heavily on everybody describing their actions in a novel-like fashion.
But what's more important: Musaa is awake ;-)
-
@all
I'm with you, but there's nothing I can react to at the moment. Just keep on playing, I'm watching you closely hehe
@Jack_Spade
Since you made up the place you lured them to, could you share your idea about it? What sort of place did you think of?
-
Hey guys... I am traveling right now... will do my best to post.
-
Hi!
As you probably remember, luckace and I currectly live in Kathmandu. We are happy that we actually really live in Kathmandu, but we're luckily anharmed, and so are all the children we care for, the other volunteers and basically everyone I know. So there's no need to worry.
Still, I think we will have to invoke a hiatus, I'm afraid. Until now, we were busy keeping the kids safe and sound. Now that the immediate danger is over, I will try and do what I can to help down in the city, where people die like flies. I'm sure you'll understand that shadowrun has the least priority for the next couple of days.
Sorry for the trouble, and see you soon!
-
Lucky approached them and without a shred of fear or hesitation said in his most confident and authoritative voice: , "Are you the guys that put a nail in Bikki's head?"
He wanted to kill all sort of tactical advantage to make sure it won't get into violence.
I'm not sure there is no misunderstanding. Are you aware that no-one else beyond you four is in the shed yard (yet)? I wanted to give you guys a moment to speak about your plan. Unless you say so, or when it takes too long, I consider your time of discussion over and we will (or will not, depending on if they come) continue to the part where they arrive (or not). Or does Lucky shout that at nobody in specific, speaking to potential opponents that might be hiding at the place?
If not, you can of course alter your post.

Nevermind deleted the post.

According to the stats you posted, your Tiffani does 7S. Is that wrong?
That'd be 7 (base) + 6 (net hits) - 5 (Soak) = 8S. Bzz!
It lowers the troll's initiative to 7. The IC description was not precisely in the correct order.
Troll's attack:

4 edge left - he is not very combaty lucky and is running out of luck...
You are right I didn't remember what taser I took.
-
You indeed are lucky! ;-)
So you dodged the attack.
Once you and luckace set your actions for phase 15, I can finish the combat round. Seems like you're doing better than I thought. Next time, I'll send more to finish you off :D
-
The problem with edge is that it runs out... ;) I am not sure lucky would survive without it.
-
It's worth a try, I'd say ;-)
-
I feel almost like I created the wrong kind of character lol... a pacifist. We'll see how it plays out.
-
I've got the exact opposite problem: Little Riker starts to creep me out. I accidentally might have created a slasher...
-
lol
We might find a point soon where you could exchange characters if you want.
gilga, we're still waiting for your IC post
Ravinder: Gymnastics (http://orokos.com/roll/287109): 2d6t5 1
You catch up in no time. The complex action should be enough to reach him.
Troll: Defense (http://orokos.com/roll/287110): 8d6t5 3
Dodged. I'll set up the IC post as soon as gilga/Lucky has decided what he does.
-
He already decided - he shot that troll again hoping that he falls down this time.
-
Okay. Can I make the roll for you or do you roll the dice?
-
I already rolled them yesterday... right after I posted the dodge roll.
He shot with edge (2nd time) total 4 edge left for 8 hits the troll...
if I am delirious and it is the third action already... he don't have that much edge so he'll just shot again.

That dude run so fast... I don't think there is a mechanical way to catch him... 24 m, is like 12 agility. I guess it means the combat is over, unless someone wan'ts to shoot a fleeing combatant. Lucky cannot because he is pacifist. He only use violence for self defense.
-
MIght be I made a mistake. According to my rule book, the base speed for running is AGI x 4. Am I wrong?
-
Oh... yes you are right I am sorry ;) never been in a situation that required running before.
-
There might be a misunderstanding with the message: I thought i was Scipio's OWN comlink that got the friendly message about his home. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but for Riker and Lucky it seems to be on one of the thugs comlink.
Maybe I'm wrong, or maybe it's not relevant at all, just wanted to sort that out.
-
Hi Volker, if I understand correctly all comlinks are turned off so his commlink should not just give a buzzing sound.
-
@luckace
You're right. It was your personal device.
Then Scipio opened the backslot of his old comlink and took out the battery. The idea of his trusty comlink being tracked made him VERY uncomfortable...
That's the only post where someone turned a link off. Might be that I missed a post (again), but as far as I saw, Scipio was the only one to turn off his device. Did I miss a post?
So, Ravinder's should still be able to buzz.
-
Did anyone post anything else? If not, we can continue IC-wise
-
-.-
I take that as a no....
-
Do the other gangers (Man Bahadur, Pratishka etc.) have comlinks, so we could call them? If so, who of them has one?
Thanks in advance.
-
some of the elders do, e.g. MB has one. Pratiksha doesn't. Who else do you need?
-
I think that's fine, just needed someone i could ask if anyone of the gangers is missing and/or maybe heavily bleeding. M.B. seems fine, since he's the oldest anyways.
One more thing though:
Does this vague description of the Som-boy fit the Som that ran away from our gang?
-
I must say that I do not enjoy very much this interogation scenes... anyone care to fast forward it? currently I feel like we do not have very much of leads what to do... maybe go remove the slot from Bikki... does anyone have a different suggestion?
-
I agree that these questions aren't really getting us anywhere, but I'd blame this on Ravinder's sly character, who avoids giving us real information and on our poor interrogation-skills of our characters.
How about letting Ravinder arrange a meeting with the faruke-woman, for me that seems to be the only real clue we have so far?
But fast-forwarding is also fine by me.
-
I agree.
But first we should probably make sure the threatened relatives are brought to safety.
-
He's already telling you everything you ask him. How much more can you speed it up?
-
Well if he agrees to call the doctor and tranfer funds for his medical fee... we can let him go I guess. Also that meeting with the temple woman can work but I don't know what we can get from her... even if she does not try to kill us again. We obviously do not know how to interogate as it drags for a long time.
So perheaps instead of rpping the exact conversation just write it as a story... somthing like... after several hours of interogation you know A B and C and so on... I mean we've been in this scene for over a week - RPing the exact conversation is very much time consuming and real interogations also take a long time. repeating questions one after another... asking the same things multiple time... hurting people stuff that I am not willing to explicitly RP even but I am sure would not shock the world of some street rats that just killed someone with a knife and were nearly killed. Personally RPing an interogation scene is a bit too violent for me. I wouldn't watch such a scene in a movie and I do not enjoy trying to act one. I'd much rather have it resolved within one post were the three street rats are interogating the prisoner and we just say what we aim to achieve OOC. Without the graphic details and dialogs that involves such a scene.
-
got it. I don't think there is any more you can get out of Ravinder anyway, so this scene is kind of finished. I'll keep it in mind for next time, though.
-
Sorry for being absent for so long, internet at my place isn't working. I'll try to get to an internet-cafe - which is where i am now - as often as possible in the future.
-
crap! Again? Can the old witch cast vile spells over thousands of kilometers??
-
Maybe it's her ghost that's still haunting the place... Guess I'll hope for a miracle or get the owner of the internet-cafe to adopt me.
-
Gilga, I hope you don't mind if Scipio doesn't wait for Lucky's approval anymore. I know, it's not the polite way, but I really love the story and I don't want it to freeze...
-
I think it's fine to proceed after 72 hours. I don't find any reason why Lucky shouldn't approve anyway.
-
Lucky approve. ;)
-
Can/Shall we fast-forward to the meeting with Manisha?
-
Fine by me... I prefer it.
-
Dito ;)
-
Hoi, some questions about the area:
- Are there other people?
- Are Sissy, HQ and Ravinder with us?
- Does the vague description Ravinder gave us earlier about the Som in the temple somewhat fit with the Som that ran away from us?
-
ad 1) Yeah, lots of. It's a public place, and it's Kathmandu.
ad 2) yeah, yeah and yeah
ad 3) Yes. But it also somewhat fits you, or Riker, or Lucky, or basically pretty much anyone else (except for HarleQueen and Sissy ^^)
-
Volker from Mashina's response I get that she agree's to pay for a doctor ?
How knowledgeable are we about the matrix? can we "google" a doctor that agrees to meet us in someplace nice? At least get a price suggestion for such service?
-
Crap sorry, I already answered to this post. I have to reevaluate my computer skills -.-
Sorry about
that, gilga. Yeah, you're right.
Everyone of you would have basic matrix skills. Finding a doctor shouldn't be an issue. Just tell me what your criteria are and I'll promise the next nsc will be less detestable.
As for the price: I would have to look that up bit Manisha's gonna pay for it anyway
-
Can't we just assume that Mashina paid in advance to the doctor... showing up or not it is not our problem?
I mean, I think it will be more interesting if we all go to Thamal.
-
Riker can't accompany Bikki and I'm not sure if the Doc wants cash or at least a certified credstick.
-
Oh I see haven't thought about that.
-
We don't have to roleplay the payment. Manisha will take care of it. Don't worry about that. Do worry about the Riker thing, though ;-)
-
Namaste, fellows!
May I suggest we discuss further progress OOC, that should be much faster than roleplaying everything IC.
I guess we have to split up for the Bikki-mission. Who shall stay with Riker and Ravinder, who will venture into the dealer's den? How bad is Sissy's wound?
Do we have any ideas how long the "operation" at Manzoo's will take, and can we make our plans concerning Som accordingly?
-
I don't think we need to babysit R. i think we give him to Mashina because she made the payment regardless of if we make it to the doctor.
-
I'm inclined to let Ravinder go. We lose our leverage, but his value was diminishing regardless. Riker will just play rearguard to intervene should they decide to betray us.
-
Ok, risky, but fine by me. One life less to worry about.
Shall someone (Sissy, HQ?) stay with Riker, or should everyone else to Thamel? Depending on his wound, Sissy might slow us down, maybe he should stay and watch Riker's back?
-
Sissy might die... I think he should stay at home until he get better. Lucky would have done the same. I dont think people will just attack us in the street. Perhaps some punks looking for troubles... or organs.
-
Yeah, no need to risk the NPC. Unless of course the doctor can do something for Sissy too.
Don't worry about Riker, he is armed and dangerous ;)
-
All right. Riker has the armored vest anyways, or am I wrong?
-
No, we wanted to sell it, but it might be a good idea for him to wear it
-
lets give it to Bikki - who knows what may go wrong.
-
Careful, you might have to tase him again.
In all rescue undertakings there is one rule: Protect the rescuer before the rescuee.
-
I agree. Plus, Bikki is probably the least attractive target.
If a gang passes through your territory, two grim-looking gangers, one ugly ork and a tiny, eleven-year old child, who's the one you would attack the last?
-
He can just be hit from area of effect like gernade or stray bullet.
-
If that happens, you want someone to be in working condition that can carry and protect the others. ;)
-
Sissy can operate, but he definitely is wounded in a mentionable degree.
-
I'd say leave him. Despite being a big scary troll it is not like he is an incredible combatant, one more shot and he is RIP.
Let's move to a scene where we are taking bikki to thamal? I don't feel very strongly about not giving him an armor. If Riker prefer to keep that armor for himself fine.
-
Ok, but actually, it might be a good idea if Lucky wore it. Riker has armored clothing and a helmet. As back up he shouldn't be in the direct line of fire.
But I agree to leave the troll at home, unless the doc could do something for him too (maybe in exchange for that nice vest?)
-
Luck already has better armor. the standard unmodified Armor Jacket and helmet. If there is one thing to invest for a human in the street full of trolls and orcs it is a good armor.
-
However we decide, Scipio would like to do three things before going to Thamel:
- Reload his gun (been waiting for an opportunity to do so)
- Write a casual message to his friend Bajitha, just to make sure she's not the bahini FY was writing about
- If no big deal: buy gel ammo. He's sick of hesitating and not wanting to kill his opponents
Does anyone else want to get stuff?
Is it possible to skip that since one could assume that they know the area well enough to find a suiting seller rather quickly?
Oh and if we can't decide what to do with the armor vest, Scipio would be glad about some armor.
Since i assume the vest is better than what you are wearing right now, I'd be happy Riker or Lucky takes the new vest (I don't think Riker is just the rearguard, Manisha and Ravinder might want to dispose of him, he is alone, he could really use it), and Scipio could get your old protection-clothing.
-
Sounds like a deal. They are his biker clothes, so there should be enough stretch to be a one size fits all ;)
-
I still don't understand why did they attack us to begin with actually.
-
Probably because they got angry for being tricked to that meeting.
-
We can assume you get the gel ammo and even the very important scene where you roleplay how you reload your gun ;)
As soon as you've discussed your plans or the events that lead to it, we can then go IC in Thamel.
As for Bajhita: She's got no clue what you're talkin' about.
-
plans? I don't have anything that reassemble a plan. Just go there and hope we can handle what comes.
-
Same for me: Riker keeps his distance, and looks out for trouble (and hopefully won't have to gut another human being) ;)
-
Sounds good, a plan would probably go wrong anyways.
Letsa go?
-
Fine :)
What time do you leave?
Do you take any other preparations?
I guess you go back home and pick up Bikki?
Anything else I should know?
What about your commlink, Scip. Do you still keep it turned off?
-
I think we'll just do that right after we get back. There is no time to lose.
-
Nah, after texting Bajitha Scipio keeps his comlink on to be ready for everything.
-
Anyone of you can now "jump" to either
a) the Hive, where you meet Bikki or, if you don't want to roleplay this, directly to
b) Thamel,
just by posting you go there.
As soon as one of you performs this "scene change" I'll recognize your debate as ended and continue with the plot.
-
I'd like to skip to Thamel, it it's ok.
-
sure it is
-
I am way more easy going then Volker gives us credit. I'd like to skip also to themal and I don't mind the exact technical stuff... it is not like we have equipment or anything.
-
I am way more easy going then Volker gives us credit
What do you mean by this?
I'm busy today evening, but I'll set up the post tomorrow before lunch!
-
Is Lucky aware to any of the happening between Riker and Pops? Lucky is aware that Pops is there this is why he is using distraction.
Yeah. Wenn Riker points his gun at Pops, you trace the movement and see him lurking in a side-alley.
-
So, if I see this right, we have a kind of Mexican stand off?
That guy is lucky, Riker isn't a trained professional, or he would have already been dealing with some high speed lead ;)
-
I am not sure who is lucky, I don't know how Volker did Pops - but in my story I wrote that he is an ex street samurai, shadowrunner with many antique augmentations. so I am not sure Riker has much chance being unaugmented.
-
Oh, now I get it. Didn't realize that was your contact :o ::)
-
Volker tried not to make it obvious as he kept the communication with the contact private.
He did a good job apparently.
-
Well, you know if it had escalated, I'd have spend a point of edge and taken the blitz action to get 5 dice to initiative.
Puh, saved by the PTSD ;D
-
:D
yeah, I tried to keep close to your background. So it's actually fortunate that you missed the chance to attack him.
rofl
-
I'm going to a Con from Friday to Sunday. I trust Volker to control Riker should it be necessary.
-
Hoi, I also have to announce that fate forces me to spend the coming two days together with 30 Nepali students and an Austrian shaman in a Resort and I have to organize some sort of programm for them. After that, I will distribute some earthquake-relief-support-stuff, so I am unsure how often I can post in the following days.
I'll give my best, but if in dire need, Volker, mi casa su casa or however it goes.
-
Oh, Christ! You're going to see an Austrian shaman? Jeez, ask him what totem he has :D
Let's just pause this thing until Monday or so. I guess no-one's in a hurry, are they?
-
Yeah, boys. Sorry to tell you that I'm going to Amsterdam for the rest of the week. So I'll be back on Monday. Maybe I manage to go online somewhere in between but I doubt I can.
@luckace: I assume that the exchange rate is in your mind because we fixed it together back then in Kathmandu ;-) Yeah, 9 big ones are only 90 nuyen. They are thugs, but they are no idiots. They know you're street scum and what you can afford. So I assume that you can indeed collect the money if you think it's worth it. That said, I'll give you the chance either to edit your post or leave it, as you please. Also I'll wait for at least one more person to react before I post IC.
-
Could you help me out, who has Bikki's gun again?
-
Not sure, but I think you took it.
-
Hey guys, I'd like to apologize for the slow pace I've been posting in the last days.
I'm on holidays right now, backpacking, and I think I overestimated the amount of internet I will have and totally underestimated the amount of time I will NOT have.
I'll give my best to post more regularly in the future!
Volker, you've traumatized me! Can't walk past a frozen-yoghurt-sign without getting chills... ;D
-
Lucky's initiative is 11.
If lucky is targeted with this nasty shot he'll try and be lucky about dodging it.
Dodge + luck (http://orokos.com/roll/312732): 17d6t5 4
Reroll faliures (http://orokos.com/roll/312733): 13d6t5 2
and he will miraculously dodge it.
Simple action activate laser sight (wireless on) simple action shot taser.
Fire + Laser sight (http://orokos.com/roll/312731): 12d6t5 3
-
Sorry to be absent in such a burning situation, but I have to catch my flight now and will be flying the whole day. Maybe I can find time to check the rules for burning edge at the airport, then I'll set up the post ASAP, if not tomorrow.
Also, my time zone changes from +6:00 to +1:00.
-
Don't hurry! It's a game, man. Life's always first.
The shot was targeted at Scipio. I thought I'd said that. My apologies.
-
Sooo I guess I'll use edge for that, so 13 rolls plus rerolls:
Dodging (edged) (http://orokos.com/roll/313202): 13d6t5 5
Reroll (three sixes):
Reroll edge (http://orokos.com/roll/313204): 3d6t5 1
Holy shit, I really thought I would die there... Seriously, I've even already written my death-post. Well, what do we say to the god of death?
Not today!
But I'm a little confused about shooting back:
Quick draw Ares (http://orokos.com/roll/313225): 9d6t5 3
means I beat the threshold, right? Then I should still be able to make a semi-automatic burst and fire three bullets at once, right? But I have no idea about the stats of my Ares. What kind of Ares did Scipio buy? Guess I should have asked that before I bought it...
-
Hoi!
No need to use spoiler tags in the ooc thread ;)
Rules as written, Quick Draw is a Simple Action, but the idea
behind it would be that it takes you no time at all to draw the
weapon if you pass the test. Strange, but so it is written.
So yeah, I would allow you to shoot a semi-automatic burst. Frozen
Yoghurt is in cover, however, so you suffer a -4 penalty. Since
you're an elf, no vision modifiers are applied.
He sold you an old-fashioned Ares Predator IV.
Use these stats:
Acc 4
Damage 8P
AP -1
SA
Ammo 15 (c)
It's a throwback (i.e. no wifi functionality)
Good luck, bhai!
-
Small correction:
Cover gives dice to the defender but no penalties to the shooter.
Also it seems as if the multiple attacks did not reduce FY's defense
-
Oh, okay. I'll edit the post then. Apologies.
-
oh lucky need a quck draw to shoot + laser sight so tell me what to roll and I will and if he can't quick draw just take the last dice out of his gun.
12d6t5: 3 [12d6t5=3, 2, 4, 4, 4, 4, 5, 2, 4, 6, 5, 4]
it will still be same number of hits but will effect the second round.
-
Guys, if you are having a problem to post there are two solutions.
1. quick replay (thanks to JackSpade)
2. disable javascript at this site. (that means that the problem is javascript bug). There are many methods to disable javascript I used a chrome extention called scriptsafe. (don't know if it is any good was jut the first thing I googled.)
-
Yeah, I have. Thanks! Let's try whether this is working
-
Allright, so I spend edge again, should have 10 plus 4 dices to roll.
Semi-autoburst edged (http://orokos.com/roll/313570): 14d6t5 6
Now the rerolls: Semi-autoburst rerolls (http://orokos.com/roll/313571): 3d6t5 0
So six hits plus 8 damage.
-
Oh and thanks for the advice, also had troules posting.
-
What exactly are you rolling for? Frozen Yoghurt took his action to escape the building. The only one who can at least attempt to shoot him would be Riker (or HarleQueen).
You at least save a point of edge.
-
No problem ;)
Jack - you can just shoot his bike I am sure this is where he is running to.
he will probobly won't leave it for us to toy with it.
-
It's not his bike, it's someone else's.
If you want to, you can try to roll a Running test and follow FY. His lead is insignificant.
-
Lucky is not exactly strong, while his natural agility is good for a human he probobly cannot keep up without sprinting and cannot spirnt so I'd guess we'll wait for some other time.
Was frozen yogurt hurt? Perheaps we can take some of his blood - who knows maybe we'll get access to some creepy ritual mage that can find him with that.
-
Running (http://orokos.com/roll/313573): 6d6t5 0
Nope, here goes nothing. And even if it was his bike, he could just recall it by autopilot.
-
@Volker:
Oh ok, i misunderstood that. Sorry.
-
@gilga:
I'd suggest that Lucky stays (at least until Bikki is asleep or so), Scipio is horrible at lying (CON=0), if he gets asked any bad questions, they/Bikki might see through the masquerade.
-
Okay no problem. Lucky can lie.
-
@Volker:
Thank you for stressing that again, I misunderstood that. Hope it's ok if I modify the post and make it look like Scipio is smarter than I am ;D
-
Thumps up, junger Padawan.
@all: To speed this up: Do you want:
a) to do something while you wait for the results (will take a couple of days) or
b) wait, lick your wounds and hope not to attract attention?
-
Well, I don't know what to do except keep an eye on the temple.
That and repainting the bike as soon as someone helped Riker to get ownership transfered ;D
-
Lucky will go talk to R ( I am sorry i don't remember the rest of the letters) ;)
He'll return his comlink - and try to get a favor in return to the comlink, he'll appologize for his violent behavior and try to make friends as much as possible. His end game will be to get some more information about that other kid we have missing. (how many are there?)
-
Then I'll suggest we do the conversation between Lucky and Ravinder in a sidethread and proceed with the main thread. I'll set up the IC post as soon as I have the time to. That'll be today or tomorrow
-
Scipio will discretely ask around his contacts or in general people they know if anyone ever had trouble with the Sai-Baba-temple or has any connections they could use. Furthermore, he will carefully inspect the tempel-area, (only casual things like going thew when they distribute food for the poor - if they do that - nothing that raises too much suspicion ) looking for clues where for example child-acolytes come and go, things like that. He will have nightmares about the predator and probably get quite paranoid over it ;)
-
Okay no problem.
Where to post Lucky goes to Ravinder ?
-
Can you please open up a new thread?
-
Hoi, boys!
This is obviously the moment, where we have to make decision IC-wise AND OOC-wise. So, how you react now is how we proceed. There are options as follow:
- We continue the madness around the temple people. We try and save Bikki and maybe some of the others. This is probably too big for this group, but it might prove fun anyway.
- We bring Bikki to some place he likes (the temple ;-) ) and start another Street Scum chapter.
- We quit.
It's all up to you!
-
I like the scenario, but I expect Riker to perish in the attempt to take on this organisation.
So I say, distribute a bit of Karma and let's play out the inevitable demise of the heroic street rats against the power of a corp. ;D
-
I just came up with a fourth option: The street rats try and get their hands on a lot of money and pay professionals, and we then play the professionals ;-)
-
I'd like that option very much ;D
-
I'd prefer to play a professional because without money or magic all are characters are mechanically very similar. gun skill, some socials etc.
-
Hiring/playing professionals sounds good to me. Very good in fact :D
Only problem is that I am really busy studying for an important exam right now, so I don't have that much time and braincapacity to spare for shadowrun. So creating a new runner might take me quite a while.
But, should I really need much more time to create a runner than you guys need, maybe my character can just jump in a few days later, I guess if we play professionals we don't have to fear dying on the first day ;)
-
Option 5: Lucky goes to Tammie (the copper) and uses little Bikki as initial evidence for the illegal actions take. Tammie tries to get the police involved - but the police need more evidence, and do not want to just arrest some low ranking officials at the temple. They want the big fish, they send either us or a group of more experienced runners to infiltrate the temple or the company behind it and gain their trust and find increminating evidence that can take the people responsible to jail - or force them to make a fat donation to the police. (it is a dystopian world after all).
Because right now with Bikki it is impossible to really bring in the 'big fish'.
I mean a group of street rats getting boat load of money and hire runners is a bit odd for me - if we had the skills to make big money we weren't street rats. Once we start carrying big money the other street bullies are going to take it from us. There is a reason we are all poor.
-
Ooooooh: How about that: We build one of the rarest kinds of characters in SR: Honest policeman who want to do their job. Collecting evidence going under cover and having to fight with red tape and corruption. ;D
-
I think finding such a character in Kathmandu isn't really much more likely than three street rats becoming rich, but it sounds more like a convincing plot to me.
However, being a cop would really bind or hands, and I don't know if we will be able to accomplish our goals if we are forced to stick to the law at least in some way.
On the other hand, that could also be really interesting...
-
Well, we don't have to be wholly by the book cops ;)
I'm thinking more Shaft than... actually I don't know any good examples for a complete straight cop ;D
-
Hmmm... Shaft in Nepal?
*Imagining a crossover between Samuel Jackson and Bruce Lee*
All right, that sounds promising!
I like both your and Gilga's idea, I'll go ahead with both of it.
From how I judge the Nepali-police I think them sending runners instead of actual policemen is slightly more realistic, but that might just be my very biased opinion. And after all, this is the 5th world, everything's possible!
-
Well, until 2075 many things might change, and we wouldn't have to be local cops.
The most promising setting, however, would be (in my opinion):
Lucky seeks advice with Tammy who starts investigating the things. She finds a week spot (say, Ravinder) and can find out with megacorp stands behind it. Being a straight cop, she doesn't want the to be the end but she can't do more, so she gives an anonymous hint to a competitor megacorp. And they do have tha capacity to hire professionals to investigate the whole shit.
If we are cops (an idea I like too) we should be professionals, too. And, after my personal experiences, without being too biased, this would have to be foreign policemen, so we would need an international investigation command. Dunno how to justify this for a small biz like this.
-
How about one Cop that has a personal stake in that because his nephew vanished, who calls up contacts from the other side to help him now that he has a solid lead.
I''d be happy enough to be that cop 8)
-
Sounds amazing. One cop and two shadowrunners.
Or else they could gang up some local semi-professionals: maybe a local hacker, whose best friend vanished, is trying to find partners to fight the temple, and the cop and he found themselves. Maybe joing Baba Rajesh or so and we don't even "need" shadowrunners.
-
I, too, like that idea.
So is it one cop and two semi-professionals then?
Shall we specify on their origin, or can we just make up something on our own, wether it's a personal relationship or let's say one of Sano Souraj's men or whoever's?
-
What do you boys wanna play? I'll gm anything
-
Sounds great.
I'd say we whip up new characters and start round two "The Temple of Doom" ;D
-
Great!
So, Jack, I guess, you'll be the cop then?
What about the others? You can have NPCs too, if you want.
-
Jepp, I'm just not sure yet if he is a native or a corporate import ;)
-
I'd like to play a native. Whether he's a real runner or a local semi-professional, I don't mind, whatever fits better into the general storyline. Maybe a mixture, cause to me it seems kinda odd to have a completely beefed-up internationally-well-redeemed shadowrunner investigate such a case. I think I'd like to play someone like Keshav, Sano Souraj's henchman, a local, worn-out professional. But definitely someone big this time :P
Or are we playing high-end-runners?
-
So, I've been trying to come up with a believable Rent a Cop.
Meet Seargent Ryan "Cinder" Laird:
Half-Irish half-Nepali member of the Kathmandu Police forces. One of the last idealistic cops in the country. Since his own nephew has vanished he has taken a special interest in the street rats of the city. He's heard rumors about a certain temple and asked two of his not-so-legal contacts/friends/people who owe him to help with an unofficial investigation...
(I used Made Man to represent his active duty within the police:
COST: 5 KARMA
As a minor member of an organized crime syndicate, the character can occasionally call on its resources. At the time of purchase, select a crime syndicate as a free Group Contact (see Group or Organization Contact Options, p. 176). As the character is an actual member of the syndicate, Loyalty is increased to 3 instead of starting at 1. This status also allows him to use the syndicate as a reliable fence for stolen goods (they get thirty percent of the items’ value) or as a source for stolen and restricted goods (ten percent price reduction and a +1 dice pool modifier for the Availability Test). Everything comes with a price, though. The character is expected to participate in syndicate work, taking at least twenty hours of his time every week in a standard campaign, and costing the character one out of every four weeks in Missions play.)

Guys, I have to apologize again: the exam I mentioned is taking up much more time and effort than I had thought, and I have to give priority to my studies.
I'll find time to create a runner next week.
-
What kind of runner to build ? Street ? Established?
-
I've used the standard with Sum to Ten AADDE
-
@luckace: Take your time. If you start thinking about your character after the exam, that's perfectly fine. On the other hand: You won't fail anyway. But as I said: We can wait for a week or two, the exam won't. Take it easy: this is fun, not duty.
@Jack: I'll see through your build as soon as the party gets shape.
@all: I'm not entirely happy with Sum to Ten since it allows to take Priority A twice, which I think is really powerful, but since it's an official rule and it's more a feeling of discomfort than anything else, I'm perfectly fine with it.
I think we don't need any special rules for this group. I'd ask you, however, if you use any qualities, rules or weapons which are not listed in the CRB to inform me via PM. But I don't feel any necessity to restrict anything. So build ahead :)

Meet Byron Cross AKA Scarcrow
He's a professional shadowrunner who's not very picky with his jobs. He normally does what he's told without questioning it, but tends to try to solve matters without bullets at first. Since Byron is an impressive, bulky troll with nasty scars all over his already pretty nasty face, his preferred way of negotiation is intimidating and indirectly (or sometimes very directly) threatening his opponent, which usually tends to work out better for him than sweet talk. With that, some muscles and a good cyberdoc who owed one or two, Scarcrow managed to make his way from a grumpy nightclub-bouncer to a even grumpier but much more successful augmented shadowrunner who's not afraid of headbutting smugglers, kidnappers and the occasional big-fish-criminal.
But apart from growling at people or beating them to a pulp he is pretty useless.

Thanks for your advice, Jack and Volker.
@ Volker: An image link and the smartgun-system are sufficient, right? Or do I also need trodes or something like that?
I assumed that spending Karma at character-creation follows the same rules for costs as later in the game, so I used the tables on page 107 SR5-Core-Rulebook, hope that's correct.
Thanks in advance.

Yeah, that's right. Defending with a shield is easy if you have the strength.
-
ad "Attributes": Could you please note the final stats, i.e. Body 10 (14), ...
ad "Skills": So, is this final? Blades 6, Unarmed 3?
Btw: you might consider buying a specialization for either of these.
ad "Gear": You don't have a DNI and your weapon comes without a smartgun system. Are you sure you wanna go without the +2 dice pool modifier from the smartgun system? If I were you (which we both are glad I'm not ;-) ), I'd go for the Stoner-Ares, upgrade it with a smartgun system and get myself a DNI or built-in image link.
Also, am I right you go without any vision enhancements (especially for range)?
ad "Lifestyle": Wait, there's something missing....
ad "Character description": I totally love your style. "Scarcrow" :-D
ad "Background story": Looking forward to that

@all
So, guys, what exactly do we wanna play? We have one cop now (Jack), one full-blown shadowrunner from abroad (luckace) and one who has yet to show (gilga).
We can now decide whether we want to do
- scenario 1: Some nice cops decide to deal with the bad boys and investigate the Shree Baba people all by themselves.
- scenario 2 (which I prefer): The cops in ktm investigated a little, then lost their enthusiasm. All cops? No! There is one (Jack) who won't give up. He decides to involve a competeting AAA corp who then hires professionals to investigate and eliminate the threat.
What do you want to play? On this decision depends what exactly I have to prepare
-
Lets do 2.
-
Before I do my character
- are we playing jumped in with (intuition to drive) and logic to fire or with agility to fire/reaction to drive? I am working on someone to deck a bit.
-
I'd also prefer setting number 2.
-
Before I do my character
- are we playing jumped in with (intuition to drive) and logic to fire or with agility to fire/reaction to drive? I am working on someone to deck a bit.
I'm note sure about intuition to drive (but I assume there is a rule - I haven't played a rigger yet), but logic to fire remotedly controlled weapons is definitely o.k.

Well I am rolling an awakened pixie decker with a criminal sin.
I wanted her to be a known and dangerous criminal, despite her cute appearance. Perhaps with the kind of deal - help us on this one mission and we'll let you leave Kathmandu and be some other country problems. If there are no SIN's in Kathmandu I am not sure what negatives to build. I want to do the most 'badass' pixie.
I think she can provide us with magic and decking. Trying not to 'munchkin' it I am considering almost all equipment including all weapons too big to use. Basically she'll have a helmet with throdes and a deck that was specifically tailored to her dimensions and can only be activated with the throdes. Probably a little bit of armored clothes. I can also make her a human if pixie is unacceptable.
She is built standard priority A magic, B skills, C meta, D money, E attributes
-
Well since my character stands I'm cool with either variant.
Pixie decker sounds really cute, I'm not sure I can imagine a badass variant ;D
-
This is the back story - the crunch is nearly finished - a mystic adept that brings some utility spells, decking and doctor stuff (first aid and medicine). She is socially unaware and have big issues with meta humanity so I gave her no social skills to reflect that. Just a negative aditute toward the world, but perhaps her interaction during the run will soften her a little bit. Her name is Delphine, Street name: Big D.
I am a fucking pixie with butterfly wings, I never wanted to be this little, this harmless and this cute but nobody asked me. Fucking pixie in a world where everyone is at least four time my size. I was born in captivity as a NeoNet slave, but I was smart - smarter than these human bastards. I made myself useful - a Decker. Perhaps too useful, I got curious and they tossed me to the dogs. I only wanted to find out about my two sisters. I haven't seen them in years.
Socially unaware, and looking like a freaking barbie doll with wings I braved the miserable streets of Kathmandu. I met some people they offered help, I thought they were my friends. They are called the Yakuza, or the triad. I don’t even keep scores, apparently I owed them this thing that is called money and a lot of it. Sure they have jobs for me - to pay them back. These is pay the interest - I am their slave girl. A doll, but the next one to call me doll is going to it! I may look cute but I am not innocent no not at all.
I learned how to do every kind of matrix related crime, from spoofing the comlinks of important people to hacking servers and stealing data. All for the freaking Yaks, these assholes - they took me as a shaken little butterfly and made me into a beautiful criminal. I also killed for them, not once not twice but 21 people so far. I only have one rule, I do not kill other metasapiants, us metasapiants must stick for our own. Humanity? These bunch of slavers deserve everything I give them. They lie and deceive me - I don't understand their social structure and can never tell when they are just being cynical - gosh I hate this world! I don't belong here - I belong nowhere.
Recently, I decided to go independent at least as long as I can pay these Yak’s. I want to make some money so that I am free from them. Next step ? I’ll hire the meanest runners I can find and extract my two sisters from NeoNet. Us pixies are intelligent, smart and pretty we are not toys and not dolls. Definately not to be slaves, if we weren't so darn tiny - we'd run the world by now.
There are few specific people that I do not hate as much. Some of them were kind to me, others gave me actual work. One has pretty eyes, and if he was one meter shorter I'd totally fuck his brains out. I only hate humanity as a whole - specific people they can be nice i know that. If you want to approach me, please get over the freaking butterfly wings before you talk to me. Yes I know I look like I was taken out of a fantasy book, but I am not a child, not a doll and definitely not cute!

Slim, very good looking with butterfly wings. Cute and fuzzy, but the illusion breaks when she opens her mouth, she just speak her mind and has little understanding of the social situation.
The crunch is almost done I need to decide on what kind of modding to give her Erika.
-
Okay, boys, sorry it took me longer this time. Here we go:
@Jack:
As I understand, your build is full up. I'm missing the backstory, though. I'd be interested to check this out before we start through. And please leave some notes about how you see your role in the start of the plot: who do you know, what's your intention, and so on. You're the only non-runner, if I got that right.
@luckace:
If there is anything you'd like to alter (see my post after your character), this would be the time. I think it's a nice thing you renamed your Renraku Sensei to Renruka Sensei, as it reminds me of Renuka :) hope she and the baby are well.
As I said, you might want to invest in visual enhancements which can cost you a lot of dice. I'd also choose a bit of a ... trollier weapon, but that's a matter of taste only.
Are you sure that "Cyberware" doesn't count as a technical skill towards Uneducated?
@gilga:
I must admit that I'm not absolutely friend with pixies as shadowrunners, since they are uncommonly rare, are outstanding and extraordinary even in the Sixth World. Even more so, they are a rather strange character to play in Kathmandu, since there are no Pixie populations anywhere outside Europe. I don't have a problem with you playing it, if you like, but please consider that this is the most awkward character imaginable, and might possibly spoil the theme the same way 3CPO would have spoilt The Lord of the Rings.
But feel free to play it anyway if you like it. It's 2075, and planes fly everywhere. Just be aware that the majority of people in Kathmandu will never even have heard that things like you exist.
Some comments on your stats:
- Is MAG: 11 a typo?
- How do you manage INT: 7, LOG: 6 and WIL: 5 with only 12 attributes? I can't look up Pixie stats just right now but on the assumption that you don't get racial modifiers worht 10 points, there must be a mistake somewhere here.
- Your skills sum up to a total of 87 points. Skills A gives you a maximum of 76 points. Where does the rest come from?
- Could you please post how you spent your Karma?
- Erika is not a commlink, but a deck. Anyway, more importantly: You are aware that you don't have a DNI, I assume. This means, you can only ever deck in AR mode.
- How exactly do you pay for Erika (49,500) and 42 programs (most of them each 250 nuyen) with 6,000 nuyen?
If you want to play the character, please solve these issues. I might have missed some new rules, but I'm almost absolutely sure this is a (very) illegal build. I'm not entirely happy if I have to check every single stat of your character.
-
The character is chummer legal - unless there is a bug in pixie stats in chummer. she has Skills A and Magic A so thats 10 +46 +10 skill group points -
that add 6*3 (craking) + 4*4 (some groups have 4 skills, first aid medicine, biotechnology and cyber technology)
18+16+56 = 90 skill points.
Mag is 6 (don't know why the 11) - pixies has amazing attributes but cannot use almost any gear due to being small.
Erika was paid by the in debit quality. I wanted to play a pixie so socially unaware that she did not even understand the concept of money, this is how she got in the pocket of the bad guys. As far as chummer 5 follows the rules all my characters are rule legal. I can come up with some other race if pixie is a problem.
-
Okeydokey :-)
So, Magic is 6, that's fine. I looked up pixie stats and since they really do get 10 points of race modifiers, that's fine, too. You're right about the skills. I don't know indebted/indebit (?), since it's not from the CRB, but I believe that'll be fine, too, then.
About the pixie I would really ask you to choose another metatype. After reading the discription I would say it is (nigh) impossible that a pixie would ever voluntarily enter Kathmandu, let alone fly there by plane, let alone become a shadowrunner. So if that's not a big issue, please play an elf or a Gandharvas / Apsarases or something that fits the theme. Thanks!
-
Think about illegal cooperate hunters, they come to some tree house in France, capture all pixies with toxic gas or anything equally nasty. Put them in little cages and ship them for experimentation in 3rd world countries... Yes like in Kathmandu. In these countries pixies are not even considered people. You can kill and experiment on them and there is no law saying that you can't. Their little nation can't protect them - and pixies have nothing going on for them.
Now consider that pixies disappear as they die. All these medical experiments are performed while the pixie is still alive. Perhaps even fully alert as who knows what modern medicine will do to its body. Scientist cut it open and check inside, while the helpless pixie is gagged and cannot even screame in horror. No pain killers as normal medicine is unpredictable on such an exotic creature and why risk it - the pixie will die eventually anyhow. Now consider a pixie that managed to escape from such a lab? What does it feel about meta humanity? Can it just hop on a plane and go back to France? It has no SIN, no money and cannot even legally buy a pane ticket if it had. She is not a person and cannot find a legitimate job. She is so exotic that people can just capture and sell her, she hides what she is. Shop online and only form social connections with people she can really trust, the shadows are really her only valid option.
And unliek C3PO, pixies are difficult to observe. Most people will never see a pixie. They are tiny and magically concealed and can blend in a crowds as long they do not interact with people. Nobody will know they are there. My Decker pixie will only deal with people online and hide the fact that she is a pixie from most but her most trusted friends. People can just sub do her and sell her at the local market. Imagine the anger, imagine the frustration the rage on meta humanity for having such a life. Oh, Pixies are extremely dark and they have all the reasons to pop up in a shit hole like Kathmandu.
-
Well, sounds like you thought this matter through. All right, fine by me! Go ahead :) You seem to know what you're in for. How exactly will she become a shadowrunner? How did she learn how to hack?
If it's no big deal for you, could you post how you spent Karma? That is, not only you but Jack as well (luckace already did).
-
I've spend 15 to raise Log 2 to 3, 10 to raise Edge from 1 to 2 and 5 to activate the Acting skill group to 1 and 2 to actiavate Computer to 1
-
Like you asked, I did a new one. A human generalist, mystic adept, decker and a bit of a drone controller.
karma is 10 body 1-->2
and 10 positive qualities.
I still got to do knowledge skills and perhaps play just a tiny bit with the skill allocation. Overall this character decks, spell-cast summon, impersonate other people, and operate drones + drive.
He is an old timer, definitely not the one to be in a gun fight. I imagine him as an old con-man, that did all sort of crimes over the years, from cyber crime to street cons and identity theft. I imagine him mostly as overwatch unless we need to impersonate someone. He can do that very well. His only combat option is gunnery - so he definitely belongs in the car.
He is no pixie - he decks a little bit with his RCC, that I added a stealth dongle to, but he is not the dedicated decker type and cannot perform all kind of decking stuff. (This is why I think of perhaps changing the skills a little bit. )

@gilga
Sounds good. Looks like an interesting character. Looking forward to it.
@all
I can't promise that I find the time during working breaks, but I'll try and set up the first post today. Jack, if you can answer those questions:
As I understand, your build is full up. I'm missing the backstory, though. I'd be interested to check this out before we start through. And please leave some notes about how you see your role in the start of the plot: who do you know, what's your intention, and so on. You're the only non-runner, if I got that right.
I can still consider them before I make something up on my own.

Oh sorry, didn't see that question.
Usually I develop the personality during play, but what I can say about Cinder is:
He loves his job despite the hardship.
He genuinely wishes to improve the situation of his fellow people.
It's especially bitter for him that he isn't allowed to investigate further into the actions of the cult since his own nephew (Tavi) has been recruited by them and not returned home in a week.
He spent a lot of money he did not have to get some help and now not only has to solve this but also earn some money. Since the money lies with the corporations he asks around if one of those have interests in the cult being stopped.

Got it. I'm really busy in my job atm, but I won't let you hang any longer than necessary! Promise!

The thing is on. Bliss, Bless and a Piece of Hell.
Enjoy!
