• The name "Nathan Ford" is his real name, which he never uses. "Handsome Jack" is his street name (nickname).
• The alias "Thomas Magnum" is what he uses for "legal" activities, such as paying rent, buying food, et cetera.
• The alias "Neil Caffrey" is what he uses for illegal activities, such as shadowrunning.

(Yes, I do watch a lot of TV dramas.)
He has a complete set of high-quality licenses for both of his fake SINs. None of his cyber/bioware is detectable with the naked eye. He looks like a normal, unenhanced elf. He wears an armored, tailored business suit most of the time, which he swaps for casual clothes covered by an armored duster (trenchcoat) when he's doing a run or going anyplace where he expects to be in serious danger.

backstory to be posted...

[joe15552]

Joe, that was a beautiful backstory, brought a bit of film. You're in. You'rs and Triskavanski's backstories have me thinking of changing the tone and direction of the game. I was going to call it Devil's Advocate, Shell Game, Defiler's Dance or Sin of the Father's, Now I'm thinking of calling it Faith and Fairy Tales or Witch Light and making it far more edgy/ Which brings me to an important question chummers. When you leave your calling card what's stamped for the UV light to expose?

You mean like a team name?

Well, here's a couple ideas: "Whole Aces", "Doing Denver", "Clean Seconds"

Not sure if you guys are into funny group names, but here's some: "Walnut Pork", "Jerry's Rig", "Murphy's Flaw", "Denver Cowboys"

[Ericen]

I am pretty much open to any name. Just remember every shadow gives us some Shade to move in.

[ismilealot]

What about Sod's Law?

I know the feeling Jim.

James "Deadeye" Cussack

background snippet:

someone said one day that war never changes, that's true, it is true whether its a war room, a sprawl, a household or even your own mind, war never changes. war is something they teach you about in the UCAS military, before they they chew you up, pump your brain full of drugs, screw you and then spit you out without even saying a "thank you, you fragger... well I am also to blame, no one told me to go guns blazing to save those snotty kids, no one told me i would take the fall... ah frag it... it was my fault, the whole op went south at that moment, I was supposed to be running ECM and support fire for the whole stakeout on those miserable scum-bag terrorists, the coke on the system also didn't help... frag it all... frag the UCAS.. frag the brass and the whole dirty politicians that fragged the military over and over... frag me for being an idealistic bastard who sucked up all the crap they teach you boot camp... military intelligence my ass. and frag Kelly for dumping me for the ork underground and who thinks they are the sunshine coming out of God's own arse.

Hey Mister, what's with that shiny arm?

This? a job that also went south, not my fault... the Don thought i deserved a shiny new one after my old squishy one got mangled. and kid, enough with the questioning, you run along to your mother or ill tell her about the posy you where hanging out with. The kid just kept looking at me sheepishly like i had drowned a kitty litter... Go on, scram.

Hey Mister, why did you geek that chummer out by the foodshack? he pipped back at me

Because he was annoying me, just like you are kid.

And just like that the kid gave me the middle finger and scrammed. Not a bad kid, reminds me of my brother... kid's mom seems to be ok, minds her one business, too much BTL´s up in her brain and too many john's down on her pants... memories... and that's the whole fraggin problem, too much fraggin memories and the bastard that said that you can drown your sorrows did not account for the fact that they float... now thats one chummer that deserved to get geeked.

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

and quite honestly i don't think its wasted time, even if i don't make it in i can always use this chummer on one of my games as a PC or NPC, so... nothing lost ell even submit the sheet today or tomorrow, besides, someone might also like the concept and all that jazz.

Here is the worksheet and character sheet for Tobias Jones, Dwarf Mage.

I will update this post with a character description and background later.

[SlowDeck]

Is there still a slot opening for a submission? If so, I can stat up a character... May be kinda bad. I'm new to this.

[ismilealot]

Frag it Celtibero, you/re in. I will make room for you. SlowDeck.I'm afraid the tables full. I've got a full table and to many alt's already. But haunt the boards. There are new games semi-regularly and they fill up in just a few hours.

[SlowDeck]

Okay.

Have fun ^.^

[Celtibero]

yay! thanks m8, ill drop in a complete background and the description later tonight (toddler aggro and stuff 1st), as for skype, how do you propose we should do it? on a separate note, ill do the background in the usual "short" form and if you dont mind i will add the muscles to the bone later on (as in the snippet, although i tried to hint as much as possible in there) like i am doing to Akagitsune in On-The-Run-2, you ok with that?

[ismilealot]

np Celtibero, looking forward to it. I've pm'd you my Skype name. I'll post possible times for a group meet when the group is finalized. Next week is my off week where I'll go over the character sheets, start the PbP thread and give the group it's details.
