Hi, if that kind of player is suitable for this table. I kind of want to play a command and control room player. Operate drones, open doors, give Intel all from a remote location. Kind of like that 'voice' that guide people in action movies.

Matrix noise will limit just how remote you can be, but you could be chilling in a nearby van or something doing all that, sure.

Metatype:Human
Sex: Male
Ethnicity: Japanese
Age: 35

As a child Baro saw his life as a train on  tracks.Born to a family with a bright history of honorable service to Renraku, one question remained to be answered regarding his future: how could he be of use to the great Japanese zaibatsu?
A good student but not an excellent one, a dependable friend but not the most popular among his classmates.His parents, both of them scientists, tried their best to hide their disappointment when their son was selected as a candidate for security training.Their son's tutors reminded them  that not everyone is destined for greatness, and security service would far from tarnish the family name.

It was a retired Imperial Army veteran  who first  saw something special in him:
A talent for violence but no desire to inflict harm upon others.It never crossed Baro's mind that such a quality would be highly valued by his trainers.He was destined for greatness after all.He would be assigned to the Red Samurai training regime and if he managed to complete it he would bring great honor to his family.
And he did, but not out of a desire for greatness but thanks to his stoic nature(tempered by the way of the samurai) which helped him endure thefirst brutal years.And then came the Forge.That year and a half which birthed his  warrior clan of five, bonds stronger than steel.
If he could  meet his older self, that overconfident young man with his feelings of misguided superiority, he would beat the crap out of him.And then he would warn  him that a  day would come when his clan would be assigned to the Arcology of Seattle.He would tell him not to celebrate this distinction, this opportunity to serve in one of the most prestigious projects of Renraku.He would tell him to run.

By 2061 he was the sole survivor of his team.He fought for the resistance, tried to save as many as he could from the nightmare.Many  bitter defeats and few,small triumphs.Eventually he was caught, his eyes were plucked out and in their place a  pair of silver cybereyes was installed, the key that would transform him into a puppet-soldier for Deus.
He was lucky that team of shadowrunners found him in time, luckier still that  a bunch of metahumans didn't leave a racist narrow minded human to his dark fate.They were better than him.They were honorable.

After the shutdown ended, It was an easy thing to dissapear among the dead.They were so many after all.
Renraku had failed them.The Red Samurai had failed them as well.
That foreign land of Seattle was the best  place for his exile.The Sprawl waited to challenge his right to survive.
In the shadows there was always work to be found  for men with a talent for violence.He needed the nuyen because the nightmares had to be escaped, and no escape was possible without alcohol.
But it wasn't all bad.He found music which helped him  fight the nightmares and ease the bottle.
And he found a new clan.
Orion, Rabbit, Fenris, Dead End.
They were good, almost as good as his samurai clan.They seemed to live their lives to  the fullest, not content with being glorified bodyguards and mercenaries.
They breathed new life into Baro.

But life cannot exist without purpose, and he would never find a purpose unless he was free of the terror he felt for the unknown and unknowable Artificial Intelligence.He needed answers but he would not endanger his friends.Japan was too dangerous for him, his fake indentity would not survive there.

Korea would be perfect.The Japanese corporations maintained a strong presence there but their power was  not unchallenged yet.

One question:

It seems like the only weapon I can legally place on my drones are Taser weapons. (and even tasers are restricted? )  Is that what you meant ?
Even the simplest pistol is restricted, and thus forbidden to use in Korea. Any tips for trying to stay 'barely legal ?'

The bio is good, Sabato, don't change a thing.

Gilga, just about any weapon at all is going to be restricted at a minimum.  The best you can really do legally is carry a melee weapon with a license.

Life in a military dictatorship is tough like that, especially if you live in the shadows.  The flip side of it is that everyone else deals with the same restriction (sans extraterritorial security forces, of course, and law enforcement), so the rare few who dare carry guns have a big advantage over those who don't.

Most runners really aren't too worried about carrying legally anyway, though.  Take out one security guard and that gun is burned regardless of how legal it was.

I should note that ammo is also affected bythe weapon house rules.

Also, magic is revered enough that it is not seen as something that should be legally regulated and licensed (although criminal applications of it will be aggressively repimanded.). Non combat oriented augmentations are too common to effectively regulate with licensing, and the combat stuff is all illegal anyway, along with pretty mich any firearm, so no need for licensing any of those things.

And just to be clear, Forbidden doesn't mean you can't get something, just that there is no license and thus no legal way to possess it.

== Description ==
Ivory, was once pretty it is clear when you watch her. Now she looks like a pale shadow of someone pretty, her skin is pale... too pale almost grayish and dry. She struggles to walk, and even climbing the stairs makes her lose her breath. The only thing that radiates power about her is her eyes. Looking into them somehow makes people feel lost. There is something alien about them, they simply do not fit the person that wears them.

I am not from this world, not anymore she said to her employer. I cover the astral, I cover the matrix and I bring my own drones. Hire me and your runners receive the best intelligence they can possibly get. My drones cover the physical world, my hacking skills cover the matrix, and my mind covers the astral world. You cannot go wrong, just do not expect me to shoot someone myself. This meat body of is totally useless she laughs; if he cared just a little bit, he could feel the pain in that laughter.

== Background ==
Ivory Tower, begun her life by the name Noga Shaked, in Israel. She was a gifted coder and worked for the Israeli weapon industry, as an information security specialist. Like many rich Israeli in 2075, she went for a trip around the world. East Asia was the target; she visited Japan and unified Korea, where she decided to stay for a while in Seoul. She enjoyed life in there and made an effort to pick up the new language.
But she got mixed up with the wrong crowd. She met, Ji-min that seduced her to run for her. The job was to be simple try to extract a sample of a new biological weapon from the Yakuza, nobody like them right? She did her job from the van and the job was successful, sort off they managed to extract the sample but where discovered. During the chase the veil was broken and the sample was released In the van. The other runners were killed on the spot, but Noga survived.
Sort of... her body was completely destroyed; she could hardly move her muscles.
She was in coma for over six months; she gradually recovered and regained concessions. She managed to walk again, and stand, but her body was a mere shadow of its former self, she was also constantly in pain. Her mind was also affected; she had no idea who she was before that. She vaguely remembered details but she felt as if it was a different person living these life.

She was emotionally disconnected from anything in her previous life. Her ex lover, Ji-min helped her recover the two developed a love hate complicated relationship. With a new id, she started adjusting for her new physical state. Rigging seemed like a promising direction to go. It gave her refuge from her disability and failing health. She could be a tiny bug and crawl walls, a small rotor drone… she could be whatever she wanted. In time she relearned some physical skills like piloting and gunnery that proved useful.
She Hated Ji-min, but she also loved her. Her fixer played with her emotions like a piano and shaped her like artists shapes clay. She became a successful runner, with the call sign Ivory Tower. This was her identity now. Few years ago, Ivory, finally understood why she was in constant pain, one of her fellow runners told her. I am a mage, there is no mistake in that, you are magical and the pain you are feeling is the mana that burns your body.

She begun studying the art in a Buddhist temple, her mentor was a mundane, he never talked about magic. Just about the correct way to do things… turn off your desires experience life as part of the whole. Indeed, in a middle of a daily Yoga lesson she projected her mind over the astral plain for the first time.

 From that moment, learning was a lot easier a free spirits taught her the art of summoning, and as she learned she summoned stronger and stronger spirits that taught her new things about the magical world. Despite being of the hermetic tradition, she always treated her spirits with respect. In her mind, summoning is a job interview, and binding is signing a job contract.

She officially broke up with Ji-min once she could see her aura. One cannot hide her true emotions from Ivory anymore. However, despite their history, Ji-min is still her only true ally in Korea, and until she regains her full memory – this is the closest place to home.

I made minor changes to my sheet, as chummer forgot to mention. All drones are now equipped with laser sights, I also spent 80 nuyen on signal scrub for my RCC.
I eliminated one of the drones for low life style for 1 month. (totally forgot about that... need a place to sleep.)

PS: how tall are the residential's of Seoul in 2075?
Does low life style get electricity all the time in Seoul ?

Henry Wang (2, 1) [Fixer]

Another new arrival to Korea, Henry moved in order to escape some trouble in UCAS that he refuses to talk about. He had some dealings with Koreans and has a buddy in Seoul, so it seemed like the place to go. He's got the skills, but he's just getting started establishing his connections in Korea.


James met him in UCAS and they arranged for their travel to Korea together.

== Background ==
Bond. Bourne. Hunt. James had grown up on Western trids, especially remakes of the classic secret agent
movies. He wanted to be an agent when he grew up - gun fights, fist fights, daring missions testing one's
physical prowess and mental acuity. And the women, especially the women.
It all came so easily to him - he was naturally gifted when it came to athletic prowess and his intense
interest fueled his ability to learn the craft. He was hampered by the difficulty in obtaining guns, so
the blazing gun battles remained a fantasy, but a good agent didn't need a gun.
When he Awakened, shortly after his family moved to UCAS for his mother's work, he found he was able to
do even more amazing things, but larger entities began to take notice. He entertained many of the offers
- sports organizations, some corporations wanting to test him for their security forces - but the life he
dreamed of could be found in none of the offers. And some of the offers turned out to not like "no" for
an answer. Soon, he had to put many of his skills to use just to survive. He fled back to the familiar -
Korea.
From an adolescent living with his parents to a small apartment on the 120th floor of a low income
project in the outskirts of Seoul, he wondered how the agents on the run in the movies managed such
relative opulence.
He'd always been quick to make friends, though the life of a secret agent meant that getting too close
was risky. But he;d quickly learned that no agent could survive as a lone wolf. He needed contacts, work,
nuyen. And with his particular set of skills, the life of a shadowrunner seemed unavoidable.
And so he started his new life as Woo. James Woo.
== Concept ==
Infiltrator Adept - relies on Fast Talk to get in and out of trouble, but can use Unarmed or Thrown
Weapons to get out of trouble when needed. Think a Korean Jackie Chan with a knack for Social Engineering
== Notes ==
Not sure about stacking contacts and the Goggles. Need GM call.
Thrown weapon options - single target non-lethal? Stun shuriken?
Might need to lose the shock frills if they aren't concealed when not in use

Shock Frills are described as furred patches, so they are a bit obvious to anyone who knows what to look for. Shock Weave on the other hand is completely concealed.  8)

Been reading through parts of Shadows of Asia, definitely think a Moe Obsessed/Netoge-Hai angle in terms of personality and appearance could be really fun, She does after all already have the ears, eyes, tail and fur of a Japanese Red Fox and an Alphaware Datajack... Using that as a smokescreen act could be really fun in a Mirrored Shades game. As such swapped out the Parazoology for Matrix Games, and hey Keora is Matrix Games central!

Gonna say no on stacking contacts and goggles, sorry. 

As far as stun shuriken, I can see some sort of dulled shuriken simply weighted much more heavily than normal.

Unless you meant like, stungun shuriken.

Either way,  I'll allow it.  They'll cost a bit more.  Add the cost of stick n' shock ammo to the cost of the shuriken.  And don't glitch the attack roll.

I'll let your shock frills have a concealed mode, where the fur retracts, but in that mode, they won't function and will require a free action to change modes if wireless, simple action if wireless is off.
