Now I just need to know if the Adept and Troll have any thing visible that points to their Awakened status. Sometimes prejudice can be a beeyatch.

"Perceiving Magic" (p. 280) doesn't list Adept powers, and no Adept power lists any sort of visibile manifestation. So while its possible to notice, say, the casting of a manabolt, Adept powers can not be perceived in  such a way.

Some of their feats can be deduced to be supernatural - it's pretty obvious if you're running along a wall that something is magical there,but being faster/stronger/tougher than a normal (meta)human can also be seen as such: "Whoa, this guy is quick, he might be an Adept!". However, that's pretty hard to distinguish from Augmentations giving you the same abilities.

However, Augmentations are actually a way to suspect someone is Awakened. Plenty of people have at least some minor cyberware, especially in the shadows. If you don't - well it's not a sure thing, but maybe you're awakened?


But long story short - being magically awakened doesn't alter you in any way that can be seen. If you aren't casting spells, wearing obvious foki etc., no one knows that you're capable of magic - which is actually a major reason for people who are afraid of mages and adepts.

While the rules are ambiguous (it doesnt state whether a prepared lynchpin has an aura, nor that you can't use the same lynchpin to hold multiple spells)

Was re-reading the magic section and saw this.

pg. 304 of the core book, second paragraph under Alchemy.

Preparations carry an aura with the astral signature of its creator, which is visible in astral space.

Nope, nothing about me says "awakened."  And the lack of visible cyberware doesn't mean much; a lot of sammies don't have visible ware. 

Edit: Just looked over the team roster.  Yep, prejudice can be a real motherfucker. 

Another edit:  Meant to say "Nothing about me," not "Thinking about me."  Lazy, my bad.

That animal paw is enough for my character to think such of yours. Not everything is going to go by "will a perception test show this person as Awakened?", often it will more be "does this person have anything rather strange on them that the masses could think is magical".

[Panzergeist]

The animal paw does kinda imply some magic or mysticism of some sort. 

Also, the troll and I will undoubtedly be telling you about ourselves before long.  Prepare to roleplay a really uncomfortable street sam.

Luckily it's only the minimal "kind of dislikes" level of prejudice.

RIght now, nope. Mr. Hyde just looks like a finely dressed troll. Although he almost looks like a runt for a troll He'd be on the low side of a physical build for Trolls (minimum Bod and Str, and his height and weight are on the lower end too...)

Here's my judge intentions roll for Zen observing Hampton when he tells his story:
Composure roll (11): 6 hits.

Here's my  negotiation roll for asking for more creds/resources:
Negotiation (15): 5 hits

Posted.
I hope it's obvious that i am astraly assensing Mr. Hampton and the room we are in.

Assensing roll for Mr. Hampton: (Intuition 3 + Assensing 4): 3 successes
Assensing roll for the room (if there are any magical auras or background count to see): 1 success

[TCArknight]

Checking the room and surrounding area: Intuition 3 + Assensing 4: 2 hits

I try to give everyone a chance to post, and panzer hasn't yet.  Either way, I'll post tonight.

[Panzergeist]

Oh sorry, I just don't have anything to say yet.  I've been watching. 

[All4BigGuns]

Only reason Snake spoke up was that no one else was...

[Panzergeist]

Yeah I think we were just letting the team face handle this part. 

[All4BigGuns]

Yeah I think we were just letting the team face handle this part.

Unfortunately, the one whose character had Face listed in the list of characters accepted for himself without negotiating...
