This is the out of character [OOC] thread for the campaign "In the Land of the Falling Sun". Any rule interpretation, real-life issues or any other questions not relating to the story should be posted here.

For everyone else that has submitted a character for consideration, I thank you for your time.

Hey Raiden  ;D

Just want to say I've seen some good stuff from Necro and Crossbow and I'm looking forward to playing with you guys.  I just have a few finishing touches to tidy up and I'll be ready to submit for approval.  I feel like I'm losing it because I can't find the post but you said you don't use chummer correct HydroRaven?  What's your preferred format for a character sheet?

Also as a heads up my rl gaming group meets Saturday so I won't be able to post that day after 5pm EST.

[spoiler=Pipebomb Character Sheet]
Name: Michael Fischer
Alias: Pipebomb
Race: Elf
Sex: Male
Nationality: California Free State
Lifestyle: Motel - 800¥ per month (Comforts – Squatter, Entertainment – Squater, Necessities – Low, Neighborhood – Low, Security – Low, Pest Magnet R1, Poor Condition) (1 month)
Karma Spent: 0
Physical Description: Pipebomb, standing at 1.91 m and weighting at 68.04 kg, is tall and lankey, typical features of his metatype. He also has his metatype’s stereotypical photogenic looks. He's caucasian, of German descent, with blue eyes and brown hair. He almost always wears sunglasses, beanies, scarves, and other similar articles to obscure and hide his features. He also constantly wears a pair of earbuds that act as hearing aids to conteract the damage a lifetime of setting off bombs has done to his hearing.
Personality/background Pipebomb is a gravely serious person at all times, it's a cold day in hell when his face even hints at a smile. He’s all business, all the time; it wouldn’t be unfair to say that joy and fun are alien concepts to him.

Background: Born in 2048, to Californian insurgents operating in San Francisco, Michael Fischer has always known two things; guerilla warfare and hatred for the Japanese. He spent his entire life helping his parents carry out their operations to force the JIS, and Saito after the '61 withdrawal order, out of the Bay Area. Both his parents were killed in '67, in a nitroglycrin detonation, a little over a year before CFS forces deposed Saito and retook the territory Japan had stolen over thirty years earlier. For the first time in his life, Michael found himself lost. His only goal in life had been accomplished, and now he had no clue what to do next. Being a lifelong insurgent, it wasn't long before the Shadows found him, and he was a natural fit for the lifestyle. The work was only work though, it did not fill him with the sense of purpose that he desperately longed to rekindle. It eventually came to him though, the Japanese scourge had been driven out of the Bay Area, but not from the face of the Earth. When that little light bulb came on, he knew what he had to do and began making plans. A few months later he was in Neo-Tokyo, stepping off a smuggler's ship, planning some payback.

Morton Davis (Smuggler): Davis is a U.C.A.S. born ork smuggler that operates all over the Pacific Rim. Once Fischer made his plans to relocate to the JIS, he needed to find a way to get there. Fischer’s fixer set him up with Davis. Fischer spent the trip mostly staying out of Davis and his drones’ way, but when pirates attacked the vessel, Fischer assisted Davis in repelling them. Davis said he owed him one.

Jeremy “Sandman” Michaels (Fixer): Michaels is a C.A.S. born dwarf fixer operating in the Minato ward of Neo-Tokyo. He specializes in finding his fellow gaijin runners work in the xenophobic JIS. Once Davis dropped off Fischer, he directed him to a bar in the Minato Ward that was known to be frequented by the gaijin Shadow community. At the bar, Michaels scoped out him out almost immediately. A few drinks and a trial run later, they had a business relationship.

description/background.
Akio is a changeling 1st class ork. 6 feet tall, black hair, eyes of a wolf and pronounced canines. He looks fairly human from a distance, not counting the eyes. but up close it is easy to spot pointed ears, small tusks protruding slightly from his bottom lip,  and an orangeish skin pigmentation. Muscled and well built and athletic looking.

background summary. if you wanna know more ask :3
Akio doesn't remember his life before age 10. All he remembers is waking up in a bed one day at a dojo in a village high in the Japanese mountains. His life has always been that of the clan, the Dojo, and his Sensei. Trained for as long as he can remember in Ninjutsu. He was taught the reason they trained as warriors, protection. Honor, strength, Family the meaning of Ninpo. Many people managed to find there way to the dojo for training, few stayed more than a year or two. After 12 years of training He had honed his skills to great strength and during this time he had come to regard his Sensei not only as his teacher, but as a father likewise his master had grown very found of Akio. After the 11th year his teacher decided he was ready to protect and aid the clan. He sent him on  several shadowrun missions, mainly working for Renraku, since they were holding the  destruction of the clan over his head at that time should they not comply. After a while Akio gained other reasons to work in the shadows and so has stayed until a time he believes he is truly ready to return for good and accept the title of master his Sensei has bestowed him.

Name: Conrad Johnson
Alias: J
Race: Human
Sex: Male
Nationality: UCAS (Of Japanese ancestry but he doesn't know)
Lifestyle: Street
Karma Spent: 0/0
Physical Description: A tall, slender man, with rather attractive features behind a thick beard, he doesn't shave unless he has to. Brown hair, blue eyes and usually a severe expression of thoughtfulness that's often mistaken as scheming. His foci are two rings on his left hand, left to him by his dad.
Personality/background He had a good gig going. Was part of magical security for the main SK-P building in Tokyo, using their fiber wire system to cast spell far from harms way. He dealt with runners sometimes too, so he's heard the old "bottom line wasn't hit bad so let 'em live" line before. His magic wasn't the flashiest but it got the job done, he was about to get his firearms training too. That all fell apart when his own Father was caught on camera in a maximum security lab, then vanished. All forensic evidence pointed at his father, even Conrad was forced to admit the astral signature was his father. "But how!?" He'd pleaded, "He's a fisherman, he's not even awakened!? How'd he get in!?"
Something important was stolen, something that hit the bottom line too hard and Conrad was laid off. With all his corporate bridges burned from suspicion he was lost.
Luckily he bought the right man a drink recently and the conversation quickly turned to making money. Good thing too, he just got evicted and living out of a bag is rough and he isn't used to being this close to danger.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Daniel Smiling Wolf is a full blooded Lakota Sioux.  He grew up living a charmed life of a small town sports hero in Montana.

Everything came pretty easy for him, his natural charisma and athletic ability combined with the magic that enhanced both, he was a happy and popular young man.

This came to a screeching halt for him when his parents were killed shortly after he came of age.  He was automatically granted a delayed waiver of his country’s military service obligation, but he turned it down and showed up for training as scheduled.  He seemed okay, but it was clear early on he was changed.

‘Smiley’s’ abilities caused him to gravitate towards the Wildcats, and he would have made it had it not been for an ill-advised and poorly executed dalliance with an older woman who happened to be married to his training company’s XO.  While this didn’t kill his military career, it was the first sign of what became a pattern in his life.  For the next several years, Daniel would prove himself capable and even heroic in all manner of high profile and dangerous assignments, then he would have some ill-advised situation, usually involving some combination of women, alcohol or fighting, that would derail him and then his charisma or friendships would pull him back from the brink.

His luck ran out when, while working security at STC HQ in Billings, he killed a man in self-defense, a man who happened to be married to a woman Daniel was seeing and who happened to an aide to the Salish Council representative.

He came to Tokyo to hide and make a life for himself, but has not bothered to try and break his pattern of subtle self-destruction, if he is even aware of it.  He has found a niche as a face and hand to hand fighter, but has also become known on the party scene and usually blows through any money he makes as a runner.
 
Daniel is a friendly and happy person, and a capable member of a team.  He is also an alcoholic and living on the edge is the only way he has of dealing with his demons.

Club Womb is right at the edge of the club district, a five minute walk from the love-hotel district. Frequented mosty by the trendy segment of club-goers, you're not quite sure who runs the show there.
