The 18 points in contacts is: The free fixer contact we all got

i forgot about him/her. need to add that.

EDIT: you're right about knowledge skills. I adjusted my intuition after I spent the points, so I'll spend the extra 2

oh YEAH!!! that means ive got 4 more points to spend on knowledges as well. Probably just dump it all into french, so that fixes that.

[martinchaen]

Hehehe, like I said, Poindexter, might be good to have someone else take a look, check if you might have missed out on something else.

We've already gotten you a bunch of cash and some free karma

[Poindexter]

good point.
When i get home, i will post an edited version of him, leaving off the sensitive stuff.

[martinchaen]

Sensitive stuff?

[Poindexter]

Sensitive stuff?

y'know, the things Jelly doesn't like people knowing about him.

[ve4grm]

Just realized we have nobody with healing, so I swapped Armourer for First Aid. I'll take a look at medical supplies and buy a few in a bit.

[martinchaen]

Uh, Poindexter plays a Troll Doc, I believe.

[Poindexter]

its nearly the only thing Jelly is good at.

[martinchaen]

y'know, the things Jelly doesn't like people knowing about him.

Oh, yeah, no worries. I try not to metagame, and lets face it, my character is unlikely to know your Doctor much.

That being said; Omnibobatron, would you like us to form some sort of background ties or are we going with the "You have a common contact who gathered you for a job" deal?

If we're going for the former, Loki enjoys night/dance clubs, trivia nights at the local pub (he's got a penchant for Nordic Mythology), and discussion centered around current affairs (he likes keeping in the know of what's happening in the world, both globally and locally). As he's just arrived in Winnipeg, he would only have a tenuous relationship with anyone not from Cara'Sir, Tir Tairngire (aka Portland, Oregon), and as he grew up on the streets it's unlikely that he'd know anyone who were well to do (unless they also happened to run a soup kitchen ).

If Error does have Vory contacts, I think it's entirely possible that Error might have heard a rumour about a trickster type character in Cara'Sir messing around with Vory operations there, including the culmination of said campaign where a warehouse of drugs was burned to the ground, as well as the ensuing firefight where the mysterious character evaded capture through almost supernatural means (i.e. between a few spirits and himself he managed to mess with the minds of his enemies enough to where he got out alive, at least).

I don't really know enough about Angel, Jellybean, and Brink to form any sort of connection with them; if Angel is indeed as Matrix bound as she seems to be, it's unlikely that Loki and Angel would have crossed paths at all.

Updated character list, then:
martinchaen - Loki, Elf Male, Manipulation Magician/Face
Triskavanski - Angel, Human Female, Support Technomancer
Elektrycerze3 - Error, Ork Male, Brawler/Street Samurai
Ve4grm - Brink, Human Male, Decker
Poindexter - Jellybean, Troll Male, Doctor/?

I'm really liking the group compisition; only two humans, and one each of Elf, Ork, and Troll. Cool as cool!

[ve4grm]

its nearly the only thing Jelly is good at.

Uh, Poindexter plays a Troll Doc, I believe.

Whoops, missed that, apparently. I was going off an earlier post, I think. Changing back.

Brink is also a competent driver, and not a bad shot.

Fair warning, my internet will be mediocre for the next couple days. I'll still be able to check in, but not super often.

[Poindexter]

i WAS at first gonna play a different character.
But i like Jellybean just as much as Hopeless and the group actually NEEDED a doc, so i switched.

[ve4grm]

I don't really know enough about Angel, Jellybean, and Brink to form any sort of connection with them; if Angel is indeed as Matrix bound as she seems to be, it's unlikely that Loki and Angel would have crossed paths at all.

Ok, so for people to decide on relationships:

Brink was Ares, corporate born, has lived in Winnipeg for pretty much his entire life. (Spent a little time in the Algonquin territories.) He liked his job, at least as much as anyone liked being owned by a corp. Even applied to be a support decker for Firewatch, and was almost in when the drek hit the fan.

He was sacrificed for bureaucracy and PR reasons a few years back. Runners hit the Ares lab in the old Mint building, got away with financial encryption tech worth trillions. Someone needed to take the blame, and it was Jacob.

Since then, he's been largely living off his savings, building up a minor name in the shadow communities in order to get some respectable jobs. He just recently transitioned to using his fake SIN full time.

He lives in northern St. Boniface, the french quarter of the city. It's a fairly nice area, but the north is still pretty seedy. It's about as close as you can get to the downtown core while still having a river between you and the core.

It's also relatively close to the Ares Macrotech Arena (# 023, as they have a few), where the Ares Predators play Ork Rules Hockey. He may have a grudge against Ares, but he'll never give up on his team.

[Triskavanski]

Need is a strong word.

For Angel, aye, She's pretty much matrix only presence until we can score enough karma that I can increase her physical stats enough that she can go outside without dieing to an icicle. She may.. or may not end up getting a couple of safehouses for the team though.


If you're a techie, and work in Winnipeg, there is a good chance she has appeared to you once in a while.

OK, here he is, if ya wanna take a look at him.

You can drop the two knowledge skills for Medicine and Chemistry; you have both of those as Active skills, and Active skills can substitute for Knowledge skills.

Reflex recorders can only be taken for "skills linked to a Physical attribute", unfortunately, so Medicine doesn't work in this case.

You know you won't get the benefit of an Armor Jacket and an Armor Vest at the same time, right? Just making sure

Finally, even with a high LOG I'd be very, very hesitant about taking Kamikaze as a drug; as it's Physiological, you resist with BOD 6 + WIL 2. This is kind of up to the GM, too, as the rules are kinda wonky on when you have to resist addiction. Again, totally up to you, but I'd consider other substances (or none at all ).
