Do pardon me for not reading through 5 pages to find out for myself, but I was wondering if recruitment is still active?  happen to have played my fair share of PbP games (on and off with the business of my lie for the past, oh, 8 years or so) and damned if Shadowrun isn't my 2nd favourite game system out there (I just love Serenity's dice system so much!). If you happen to have a spot, please let me know!

The build rules are in the first post.  Spots are all first come - first served, and there's at least two openings at the moment.

I've finished a Character if you still got room.

[bangbangtequila]

Just building Ripz now. Think you'll like him.

Work In Progress

Name: Tir'athan
Alias: Ripz
Race: Elf
Sex: Male
Nationality: CAS (Texas)
Lifestyle: Middle
Karma Spent: 0
Physical Description: He's slim in a wirey sense, by all looks, but the tell-tale scars of chop-shop augmentation reveal that he's a good bit more then you see. He has a pair of quickdraw holsters settled on his hips, and belts of ammo cross his chest and wrap his waist. He has a thick duster settled on his shoulders, and a wide-brimmed leather hat graces his head in true lonestar fashion.

It's Digger's sheet copied with my stats and stuff edited in. If you look from about halfway down, it's his sheet.

One thing I'd like from both of you is an idea as to why these characters would be seeking high-risk/high-reward work in the worst place on earth.

Chicago is a hellscape that eats up entire Firewatch teams. 
What special reason would your character have to be there?

[SeriousOne338]

Stark’s a simple character he comes from San Francisco having lived through the occupation. Part of a resistance cell operating out of Oakland. It was here that he learned his combat skills, attacking from the shadows trying to win back San Francisco. It was during one of these raids where his team was killed. Captured and questioned then detained. After two weeks he was released the occupying government decided to release that he was a collaborator. After a single attempt on his life by those he once called family he fled the conflict zone making his way to Seattle, where he had another close call with another group of resistance fighters. So for the last year he’s been on the run from those that remember he was a resistance fighter, that how he found his way to Chicago. Being low on funds Stark’s willing to take suicide missions to make money to get out of the country and find a place to settle down.

Also I have a Rigger that might work better.

[Kontact]

That character seems like a good fit for the area.  If you wanted to go for a rigger as a better fit for the team, that's also cool.  I'd be fine with taking a Big Regret, Enemy or Bad Rep neg quality to represent the mark of a traitor hanging over his head, even if the actual treason was imagined.

Sorry about that delay. I will try to have a background written up for you in the next two days.

[farothel]

I still have a troll Gilette I made for this game sometime back.  I can dust that one off and start almost immediately.
