Is it just us three? Cause if we're not getting a decker, I might have to change to one of my other designs of Technomancer. Matrix Ninja sounds pretty good, not great against hosts though but wonderful against devices.

Another question: is it OK to use Run&Gun? Error is built around the martial arts from that book, although I can rebuild him - we have the technology =)

Omnibobatron did say he wanted to keep it to 3 or 4 players, but I hope we're adding a fourth to broaden the range of skills available.

Loki uses a few pieces of armor from Run & Gun; correct me if I'm wrong, Omnibobatron, but I figured your stance on stuff from Stolen Souls would extend to stuff from other books.

For our reference; which books DO you have? :D

[EDIT]
And just in case you don't have Run & Gun, this is what Securetech PPP armor and the ballistic mask is described as. I've included the stat blocks as a screenshot.

Quote from: R&G p70
Not a suit in itself, this innovative little AAS, or Armor Augmentation System, is hot for those who like to be able to add a little extra protection to almost anything. Arm, Leg, and Vitals kits are each sold separately, and they augment the protective measures already in place on those areas. The pieces are designed to be taken on and off quickly and worn over existing clothing.

Quote from: R&G p74
By far my best seller, especially the basic model. They come in a variety of custom moldings and paint jobs to get almost any look imaginable, but matte black classic sells the best. They have limits when they’re basic models to keep them functional, but once electronic vision systems are added, the possibilities are endless. Ballistic masks can take vision enhancements as well as any modification a helmet can take.
Custom jobs are, naturally, more expensive.

Hi folks!
Just got the word from the captain that im IN!   :D

The character im wanting to play is kindof a noob, but i freakin LOVE him. hermetic aspected summoner with a TINY bit of chrome and a rotodrone with an AK. Horrible in a fight and easy to kill, he balances that out by having good backup and being the luckiest sumbitch he's ever heard of. His heart is in the right place and he knows he's out of his league in most situations he's in. His street name is Hopeless. He kinda doesn't like that name, but tough shit.

I've also got an adept; an ork raised by elves and taught the ways of the sword. he's kinda boring i think, but if the group needs a melee guy, i can make him fun. I also kinda like this disgraced troll doctor i made, barred from practicing medicine over a drug conviction, and trying to use his rather impressive but limited skills to earn a living in the shadows. Thinking he might end up a decker after a WHILE, just cause he has high mental stats and already has most of the chrome a decker would end up buying leftover from his doctorin days.

of these three, i'd prefer Hopeless, but i follow the edict "game uber alles" meaning i dont wanna let my own petty bullshit stand in the way of a good game, so which of these three would YALL prefer i play?

After reading the thread, i can see the group needs a decker.

i'm willing to do it (game uber alles), but i should provide fair warning that matrix is where my weakpoint in the rules lies and i might be a bit slow at times.
if yall want, i can whip up a decker/technomancer at some point today.

Personally, I like the idea of having a doctor in the group; I don't have heal or first aid, not sure about the others, but a character with high logic could be highly useful.

I think Celtibero is doing a decker, no?

martinchaen - Loki, male Elf Manipulation Magician/Face
Triskavanski - Angel, female [metatype] Technomancer/Support
Elektrycerze3 - Error, male Ork street samurai
Celtibero - decker?
Poindexter - ?

i was changing ideas with trisk, at 1st i was thinking about doing a communist/revolutionary character, Trisk character will have Russian nationality, thus i occurred to me (i would still need to juggle it with Trisk) that they could both be sleeper agents (providing a reason to be where they are and giving the GM plenty opportunities to add stuff into the game later if he wants). Both could be secret service (KGB or whatever it is called in 2075). Leonid would be deeply imbued with communist beliefs, and a fervent idea that the great mother Russia will once again be the strongest power in the world, Socialism is not dead, it will only require a new revolution for it to triumph, and so on.

As it is its just a concept, i have not delved too much into the back story just yet, but that would only be a matter of starting to write it.

So, what do you guys think and what does the GM think?

French is mostly a Quebec thing, w/ canada and what was left of the old USA forming the UCAS i believe that English is the primary Language by far.

Angel, aka Kira Triskavanski, would end up mostly staying home, providing assistance through VR in the form of leadership tests with Leonid as her "handler". (Which basically means he would be her meatside face)

Since Winnipeg borders the Algonkian-Manitou Council, it's reasonable to expect that Iroquois and Algonkian are somewhat widespread. Other than that, English is a sure bet, while French is more of a Quebec thing and even then it'd be Quebecian dialect (?) French, not France French, I believe. It's also not too far from Sioux territory, so Sioux is another possibility.
