[Poindexter]

For now, this thread is gonna be rather bare bones.
 
LIST OF THINGS WE KNOW ABOUT THE GAME

1- It's gonna happen mainly in Chicago.

2- The players are:

Rednblack- 
Baby Hardcore, the noble savage
Ryo- 
Boogeyman, the failed parent
Tecumseh-
Syndicate man, the wicked atoner
8-Bit-
Robert Baker, the swimming stone
Stgboomcloud-
Lyall, the faller from grace



The swimming stone
You have something driving your soul toward evil. Resist all you want, the best you can hope to do is tread water.
The faller from grace
You started off in the high ivory towers and now you're down in the filth with everyone else. Whether you wallow in it or whether you try to keep it off you is up to you.
The wicked atoner
You used to do some horrible shit. Maybe you still do. But you're trying to make a change for the better.
The noble savage
Maybe you're from outside the city and maybe you're a street rat who never went to school, but either way, you exist on the fringe of society, despite having the clearest moral compass in it. Your struggle is to not sell out in a world that rewards nothing so much as it does selling out.
The failed parent
You brought something into this world, perhaps a literal child, perhaps not. But it has not gone according to plan and you feel the need to redeem yourself for the guilt you feel over this.

4- The characters will be made in 2 phases. one to generate a "1st lvl" version of them. The person they were in their early days in the shadows. We won't be playing these characters, merely using them as a jumping off point, so we know who we all used to be before the ravages of time did what they do.

Weedy 3/1
Weedy's a merc with Vulcan Intl. who came up on some of the same streets that Baby Hardcore did, though a few years ahead of him.  In a way, Baby felt like he was growing up in her shadow, and given the line of work that she chose for herself, he felt a little righteous indignation at that, and talked a little shit now and then.  Thing is, Baby Hardcore was wrong about her, and he was confronted by that fact one night on some little business the ABC and the Black Panthers had against some local gangers.  BH kinda felt bad about running his mouth after that, but it wasn't like Weedy was going to give the benefit of the doubt to some young kid who hadn't learned any manners growing up.  Then, one night a few months back, he got a chance to redeem himself.  Weedy left this little hole in the wall called The Ely, and Baby noticed a trio of serious looking characters on her tail.  He kept lookout a little bit, and kept pace, and when Weedy started down a desolate street, he saw the irons coming out and knew he had to act fast.  "Six o'clock!" he shouted as he plugged one of the men from behind.  Weedy wheeled arms drawn and dropped the other two with three well-aimed shots apiece.  She went ahead and dropped her commcode to him after that, and things have been much more civil.  Hell, one day she might even grow to like him.

Jaime: Ammo Jim's 3/2
If you say you know someone at Ammo Jim's people probably think you're talking about Big Jim.  If you're a ne'er do well, they may assume Little Jim, and if you're gutter trash it's Jaime, the youngest of the group who runs the ammo for ammo exchange up near Northbrook.  Jaime's a good kid, always spitting on his thumb to wipe off his goggles when something really catches his eye, and he's got an infectious grin to go with. 

Bao Stephano 2/1
Of Vietnamese and Italian ancestry, Bao is a bruiser of an ork who tools around the mean streets of Chicago on a bicycle that he's adapted to be a med station on wheels.  He typically wears a nón lá that has crescents spray painted across its top, has a reddish tint to his straight brown hair, and is fond of referring to his "appointments" as a "stitch and bitch."  He's given surprising berth by the Ancients, and it's rumored that he may know a guy or two in The Makers.

[Tecumseh]

First draft. Low skills are intentional, to represent both Jack of All Trades and the callow, feckless nature of a rich brat. 5 karma left to spend. The idea is that much of the 2nd round of karma would go toward skills. Used Sum to 10 chargen.

WIP Sheet for Lyall, the mys-ad Fallen From Grace

== Info ==
Street Name: Lyall
Name: Unnamed Character
Movement: 8/16
Karma: 0
Street Cred: 0
Notoriety: 0

Dwarf F Age 22
Height 4'4" Weight 146 lbs
Composure: 12
Judge Intentions: 8
Lift/Carry: 8 (45 kg/30 kg)
Memory: 9
Nuyen: 899

==Physical Description==
A prime example of her metatype, Lyall stands under four and a half feet in height, bearing a stout figure: feminine curviness covering a hardened layer of trained muscle.  Her hair reaches down to about midback, coarse brown hairs that fall about her wildly when kept loose.  When trying to look clean and acceptable, she ties it back into a ponytail.  When looking respectable, it becomes a thick braid.  A product of her current lifestyle, she usually wears well-worn articles of fatigues or BDU, in obvious need of repair, and likely a good washing: boots, cargo pants, tanks and shirts, jackets, etc.  Most of her possessions are carried on her in a satchel bag at all times.

==Background==

My name is Sarah O'Bannor.  At least it was up until I got wrapped up in the drek heap of a life i got to claim as my own now.  So, where should I begin?  I'm the second child of three in the O'Bannor household living in Boston.  My pop, Shamus, was a respected exec in the local Ares Branch, overseeing various R&D projects and whatever.  My ma, Marie, worked as his assistant, and no one had a problem with it, despite the fact that we were all halfers.  Yeah, dwarves in the executive branch, what of it?   My older sister Brianne was WAY into the whole family business thing, and was likely gonna take over ma or pa's position.  Younger brother Martin was a bit of a nerd in school, and I think we was gonna be set up to be a scientist or somesuch.  As for me?  I knew I wasn't gonna beat out Brianne as the "heir" to the family work, and I wasn't near smart enough to be the scientist Martin was gonna be.  My interest?  Call it classic Ares programming or some such, but the UCAS patriotism hit me hard.  I wanted to do my duty and serve in the military way.

My parents were hesitant towards my enthusiasm at first, but it is a common O'Bannor trait that once we set our minds to something, it's gonna happen.  They eventually turned me around and let me enlist.  Pa showed a surprising level of support for me, getting me in touch with the right people, making sure I had the best of opportunities in the Boston Brigade where I enlisted.  Turns out, I make a pretty fragging good soldier when I set to it, especially after boot.  During advanced testing for placement, I was doing drek I didn't even think I could do.  Pretty sweet, huh?  The brass thought so, and I was given a spot no-one at 18 shoulda got, but my hoop landed it: Spec Ops.  I fraggin' got placed on one of the top-level teams doing the awesome drek: geeking bad guys, saving the country, real fragging heroes.  I was so stoked I ended up celebrating so hard, I don't remember that night very much.  Heh.  Things were great.  The squad leader was a definite hardass, but the team was tight knit and welcomed me as the greenie with a gift, so to speak.  Couldn't have been more proud.

And man, was I good.  I was a crackshot with a rifle, and with my size I could get to places easier, and DESPITE my size I was a pretty quick little halfer too.  Great for communication, recon, and assault, which they loved.  The squad lead, codename Dragon, was a great tactical expert, and one hell of a martial artist to boot.

@Tecumseh: I've got a couple concepts that kind of run the gamut of what's offered in Run Faster. Depending on whether or not Poindexter wants to allow the dirty rotten Infected as playable, I can either pitch you something neat involving HMHVV or something more mundane using a fun combo of the new qualities.

[Poindexter]

might take us all a day or two to come up with a concept. Good to know you're still with us.

[Poindexter]

OK, so A few ideas had been kicked around, so far. Ryo suggested a couple ideas, including an infected troll and a young syndicate man.

Other than the fact that I INSIST all these characters know each other, trust each other, have worked with each other extensively in the past, and are totally willing to do so again (if they aren't currently working together) there are NO restrictions on concept yet. As proof, I offer the fact that I kinda hate using infected as PCs, yet I trust Ryo enough to do something cool with his infected troll. We're all good players here, and at the end of the day, i think we all have the same goal; to tell a good story. I'm gonna try and let yall tell it the way yall wanna as much as possible, BUT...

Keep in mind, i LOVE sad endings and tragedy. My favorite end of a movie is the end of The Killer with Chow Yun Fat. If you've seen it, you know the deal and if you havent, I don't wanna spoil it for you. (Despite the fact that its damn near 30 years old, you still deserve to see it unspoiled if you haven't yet. It's THAT amazing) So give some thought, not only to the goals of your character, but also to how miserable and ironic it would be for him to fail, and what all that would look like.

I feel as though I'm starting to ramble here, so I'll stop now.

[Ryo]

I've never been one to

As proof, I offer the fact that I kinda hate using infected as PCs, yet I trust Ryo enough to do something cool with his infected troll.

I'm happy to have the opportunity to show you that the Infected can be interesting, cool and valid characters.

If we all must know and trust each other from go, I think we should go with the angle where we're all from the same crime syndicate or gang. Or if we don't have ties there, definitely a group that has previously run together. For my Troll at least, it's important that everyone knew him and trusted him prior to his Infection. For lack of a better word, that would help humanize him in their eyes, since they would have known him prior to him becoming a man-eating monster.

Exactly one of the reasons the whole connection thing is SO important to this game. No matter what walks of life you all started in, at some point, you met in the shadows and learned that despite the (sometimes GLARING) character flaws, you're all dependable people.

[8-bit]

Any ideas on what Character Creation system we are using? My current ideas are a newly made Mafia man, a grassroots Politician who can't help but get his hands dirty, or a poor college student who currently has a massive debt to the Yakuza. I can probably make all of them in any system, but I'm just curious so I can see what I'm working with.

ETA: Hell, I might even combine the Politician with being a Mafia Man. That might be interesting.

[Poindexter]

We'll either be using prime or street + LOTS of karma and money.

Keep in mind, these are people who have been IN the shadows for a while now.

If we've been around for awhile any chance you'd allow multiple specializations for the same skill? 

Also, what are everyone's thoughts on OP level?

All right, so just Priority. That's good to know.

OH YEAH, I forgot those new character gen rules just came out in run faster!

Well, i spose if anyone wants to use one of those, i have no problems with that either. I just wanna make sure everyone is on an appropriate power level for their concept to work. NOTE: This does not mean a balanced power level with the rest of the group. I kinda hate worrying balance, actually. It makes it harder for me to really immerse myself in the story, as VERY LITTLE if anything at all in the real world is balanced.
