This Nadeshiko MK-4 drone originally belonged to an eccentric saiko-komon of the Yamaguchi-rengo in Federal District of Columbia who had a thing for former Vice President Daviar. Used as part bodyguard, part mistress, the drone's pilot surprised the saiko-komon when it emerged as a full-fledged AI a couple years ago. Making a deal with the Yamaguchi-rengo, Chikage was allowed to take out a loan from the rengo in order to buy the drone from the saito-komon.

Advanced Lifestyle
Riverside Homes
Comforts - Middle (3 LP)
Entertainment - Middle (3 LP)
Necessities - Middle (3 LP)
Neighborhood - Low (2 LP)
Security - High (4 LP)

Qualities
Affiliated (-3 LP) - The Yakuza are firmly in control of the housing complex, owning it outright.
Escape Tunnel    (3 LP) - A convenient tunnel leads to the river.
Friendly Neighbors (1 LP) - Chikage's neighbors are willing to do her a favor now and then.
Security Conscious (2 LP) - Design allows residents and frequent visitors to always be able to find cover in combat.
Well Made (1 LP) - The house is well made, and comfortable in most weather.
Living By Committee (-2 LP) - A neighborhood committee sets rules to live by, which can cause problems.
No Privacy (Astral) (-2 LP) - Trying to spy on the home via the astral is easier than it would be elsewhere.

Total: 15 LP (5000 nuyen/month)
Riverside Homes is a housing complex within sight (barely) of the Snoqualmie River in the Verge area of the Redmond Barrens. All told, it is actually one of the nicer areas of Redmond. Crime, for instance, isn't nearly as bad as it is in other areas of the district. Security consists of plenty of cameras, mechanical and electric locks (which are all serviced regularly), and metahuman patrols.

Chikage's house is a nice 100 square meter affair with a small yard in the front and a garage attached to the house. What food and drink she keeps in the house is of the nonperishable kind, naturally, with a soy dispenser as well, for those rare times when she has company, but they are good quality all the same. The appliances all work, and her closet is filled with midpriced clothes bought new, or sale items from Zoe or Vashon Island. Comfort-wise, Chikage's home is tastefully decorated, and includes a well made furniture, even though it is mass-produced. A set of drones tends to the housework, and the AR paint on the walls is still fresh. She has a fine collection of trid shows and movies for her entertainment system, and is a regular at Tux's virtual nightclub.


Glow City "Penthouse"
Comforts - Low (2 LP)
Entertainment - Low (2 LP)
Necessities - Middle (3 LP)
Neighborhood - Street (0 LP)
Security - High (4 LP)

Qualities
Escape Tunnel (3 LP) - Her 'penthouse' has a private elevator that leads to an old parking garage
Dug a Hole (2 LP) - Search time of every extended test to find you raised by one level.
Well Made (1 LP) - The place is comfortable enough year round.
Haunted (-4 LP) - Being in the middle of Glow City, sometimes toxic critters and other nasties may show up.
No Privacy (Astral) (-3 LP) - Spying on this place via the astral is child's play.
Worse Neighbors (-1 LP) - A den of ghouls live in the basement, and have the run of the building.
Trigger-happy Landlord (-1 LP) - The landlord is always quick to demand payment.
No Privacy (Physical) (-3 LP) - Due to being one of the more visible buildings in the area, spying on the 'penthouse' is fairly easy.

Total: 5 LP (500 nuyen/month)
All right, so it isn't actually a 'penthouse' in the normal sense, but considering the area (Glow City), having the top floor of a small apartment building is as close as the neighborhood gets. Fortunately, drones are not as affected by radiation as, say, metahumans, which makes this area a fairly good place for a secondary residence. Security is no less stringent than it is at her primary residence, the only difference being that instead of being patrolled by Yakuza, the building is patrolled by ghouls (not all of them feral).

There's little in the way of comfort here. Basic furniture, and a single, older-model drone to do the housework, and cheap AR paint on the walls. Entertainment consists primarily of cheap trid and music, but at least it is better than nothing. The apartment covers 100 square meters, and has a nice patio with a view of the toxic zone. Non-perishable food and bottled water are the norm for when guests are over, and her closet contains similar clothes to her normal residence.

Total Lifestyle Cost: 5500 nuyen/month (1 month paid)

Left from resources: 1200 nuyen

Contacts (28 free Karma, 8 Karma paid)
Yamato (3C/3L) - Fixer, Yakuza
Yamato is a kobun in the Kanada-gumi in Redmond. While his jobs are primarily for the Yakuza, he does keep an ear out for other jobs as well.

Rose (3C/3L) - Arms Dealer
Rose (along with her Steel Lynx "Guns") is one of the new arms dealers who set up shop in Redmond just recently. She stays away from Ares products, especially after the whole 'Excalibur' thing burned a couple contacts she had (one quite literally, since it blew up in his hands).

Kylie Lowe (3C/3L) - Gang Lieutenant
Kylie is a lieutenant in the Desolation Angels. She travels widely through North America, and in addition to her duties as a gang leader, she seems quite knowledgeable about insect spirit activity in the region. She SURGEd recently after exposure to a manastorm, developing compound eyes, like those of a preying mantis.

Thought my contacts worked out right in Chummner, I'll have to rerun the math myself.  As for the commlink, it's a prop.  The Lifestyle is tagged as free, simply there for sake of completeness.

Trying to figure out a good way to get more of the street racer thing in, though.

Are trodes what I picture?  Wires running to sticky things or suction cups attached to my forehead?  How would that not get in the way or at the very least look stupid?

Ok, since I had some time on my hands, I took a look at everyone's characters.  Feel free to ignore my comments, since they're mostly just my opinions and obersvations.

Aryeonos: You have 4 unused free contact points.  You wasted money on buying a lifestyle, since he said not to buy one and we all get a free month of medium.  Your starting money would be more than just 400.  Do you need Orgy AND Orgasm?  You can usually hit just a single person with Orgy if you need to.  You could have a spirit use Influence, instead of taking the spell.  I'm probably going to drop Alter Memory, so it's good that you have it.  Can nagas not use any form of armor?  You could wear an armored sock or blanket or something...  Your headphones have no sensor functions, are they only for listening to music?  Are you able to take hacked software at creation?

A4BG: You have 14 unused free contact points.  You also bought a lifestyle.  Are you planning to run around nude to benefit from the color changing skin?

RHat: I've never seen a technomancer before, so this will be exciting.  You have 10 unspect free contact points.  You also bought a lifestyle.  You didn't put an OS in your Sony Emperor.

Sichr: You need to change your character to a 750 Karma build.  You won't need to buy a lifestyle.  You would have a LOT of free contact points as the character is now.

I bought a lifestyle because I wanted to buy one using the Advanced Lifestyle stuff. The free one, I can only assume is basic Middle (if anything, I'll just use that free one as a Safehouse.

The Dynamic Coloration is more of a flavor thing, because I think it's cool.

Underspent on free Contact points? That is quite odd. The calculations in the generator had it so one more would cost Karma.
Just did the calculation manually, and I have 28 free Contact points and have 28 Contact points used.

I haven't found a way to get Chummer to calculate the free knowledge and contact points to fit this game.  I turned off the standard cha*2 contact points and int+log*2 knowledge points options, because it would confuse me when I tried to figure out what was what.  I'm sitting at -161 karma after using the free points.

Aryeonos used 24 out of 40 free contact points.
RHat's contacts are fine.
A4BG's contacts are fine.

Not sure why, but I started thinking it was CHA+Etiquette * 6 mid-review.  Sorry.   :-[

For the free Contact points, I just did the calculation myself after I had the Charisma and Etiquette I wanted, saved the character and then input the free points into the other option Chummer has for that.

For the free Knowledges, I--with permission from the GM--just used standard BP free Knowledge skills.

Awesome, I'm sitting on 0 Karma now.  Thanks, BG.

I have no comment on Mirikon's.  Mostly because I'm unfamiliar with AIs and Drones and.. also because that's a monumental read.  I like his writing style, though.

I won't be able to further BP-> Karma conversion work on my mercenary till tonight as I have some family stuff to deal with right now.


[EDIT:] After looking at the posted characters, though, I think I might have to step back instead since Mirikon's drone/AI can do almost everything she can ... and better (not to mention more).  :o

Just so nobody's confused about why I'm not posting as rapidly as the other day, I'm going to be at the hospital on Wednesday and expect it to take most of the day, so while I may be able to download your character files in the morning, I won't likely have much of a chance to sit down and compare everything and the initial plans. Thursday should be back to normal.

Also, since it looks like everybody's using chummer anyway, could everybody post their proposal in the prelim chummer file so I only have one format for everyone? That'll speed things up and make it a lot easier on me when I need to compare and evaluate. I've already got Aryeonos' chummer file, which was posted in a thread post about a page ago - you can either PM or post yours to the thread with the 'attach to post' option, whatever you find easier.

Also note that I don't have all of the books, so if you have something from one of the supplements like Milspec Tech I don't have the ability to check on anything in it, so that's not open for character creation. War! I'm leaving out because that's aimed at a different set of challenges than I expect us to be working with to start off. Those may change as we play, but for now keep in mind that the core books are preferred. Once I can get a run-down through chummer (which is good because it tells me what book something's from, even if I don't have the book), I'll be able to say if I have a problem with something or not. Until then, don't panic, I just need to be able to check things before we begin. If we're all using chummer, then BG's idea of just using its checkbox for knowledge points and then the 'bonus bp' for contacts should work. I'll have the chance to check it out after I get out of the hospital.

Regarding the provided month of lifestyle, yes it will be a provided safehouse at the target city of the first mission.

Party proposals (spots will be confirmed after I can start getting to the proposals Thursday):
All4BigGuns - elf B&E, basic combat support
Aryeonos - naga Face, mage
Mirikon - AI Street Sam with a side of Face
mtfeeney - elf mage/face
RHat - ork technomancer/rigger
Sichr - dwarf basic combat support, some stealth

Yun - I'll need to know what you're wanting to play before I can provide any feedback. As of yet I don't think anybody's covering the medic, so that will be something for all of you to keep in mind if you're still tweaking.

I'm more Face than Mage, and Aryeonos is more Mage than Face, so that works well.  Also, I have heal and a tiny bit of first aid, but it'd be best to not rely on me as the sole medic-type.
Remember, you don't have to kill the vehicle to stop it, just kill the guy driving it.

Well, this actually works out to be a nicely balanced party - two mages differently specialized, two matrix characters differently specialized, two characters with stealth capabilities, a nice spread of combat capability...

I've been working on the former-army-grunt mercenary character I had mentioned above. But with that niche well covered I'll create a medic instead tonight (probably non-magician since that field is also well worked).

Might I suggest taking that concept, and adjusting very slightly into Combat Medic territory?

Ok, here's mine.  Baron, go!  *throws his poke-shadowrunner-ball*

Sichr: You need to change your character to a 750 Karma build.  You won't need to buy a lifestyle.  You would have a LOT of free contact points as the character is now.

I will gladly do so :)
