I am recruiting for a 'back story run' that will end in a lot of deaths.
The story has 9 runners. Though they are a regular team, they are rarely permanently in each other's pockets.
I want anyone who makes a character to re-use an old / existing character or make one using the karma gen or life-styles methods (from run faster). Don't put a huge amount of effort in The characters are described below and what I put in the descriptors are important, other things are up to you (some do not even have names). I have put a guidance number of K that you should use to make or balance your characters.
The Diamonds are:
gilga #1 Deckert | Face | Charismatic | Intelligent | Leader | Male | Experienced, ex-military | UCAS / CAS / British / German (your choice) | Good with cars | 875K
Triskavanski: #2 Number 2 | Secret Technomancer - only one member of the team knows this | Female | Experienced and ex-corp | CAS | Good with cars | Contacts in London | 865K
LOCKED #3 Juliette Cul'yn Mage | Experienced, ex-corp | Good with cars | 840K
Mercy Merchant: #4 Razor Girl | Female | streets | British (your choice or which) | 810K
Jayde Moon: #5 Mirriam | Decker| Female | In-experienced, streets | 775K
LOCKED #6 Marcus | Face | Male | Experienced, ex-military | UCAS / CAS (your choice) + British | 825K
Jack_Spade:#7 Tungsten | Experienced, ex-military | German | 825K
#8 Maggie | Rat Shaman| Female | Experienced, ex-military | 810K
Saithor #9 Medic | ex-military | 810K
What you will have is 3 cars provided to you so you don't need to buy one. The team is split into 3 groups: #1,4,5 #2,6,7, #3,8 9
Ideally I'd like to have 5 players. It will be quick and dirty and, just to lay it on the table, the story only needs 1 definite survivor (though things will be more clear as you tell me the story, as I think that there may be 1 other.)
I will open the 2 threads today, 26th June, for IC and OOC. I will post last thing on Sunday the introduction and the initial story. All characters made by that time will for sure be included. Anyone coming later: for example #6 will immediately become NPC as may #3.
I want an OOC thread describing yourselves to the rest of the team.
Added stuff from later posts:when creating a character: Balance everything else out first and then (and only then) increase the
creation cap on 3 skills and 1 attribute +2 your genetic norms. This applies to everyone bar #4, #5, #8, #9 (you get a
creation cap of 3 skills and 1 attribute +1 your genetic norm) (genetic norms = racial norms)
SINsThe team... you's guys... are currently in London. You are aware that your job may be International in execution so you need SINs to cover that. you'll need stuff for Eurozone, the UK and at least UCAS and CAS. Other zones might benefit you
CarsThe cars you have are stolen, top of the range Range Rover. For all 3, use the Rover Model 2072 (in
Chummer5 under TRUCKS and also present in
SHR5RCP) as base but Spd 5, Accel 3, Armour 15. Assume that the work to prevent someone coming after the cars has been done: you outsourced acquiring the cars. You have had these vehicle for 2 weeks. Any modifications made in that time have had 1/3 of the time (5 days) to be made as 2 cars are always 'on the job'. Deckert's car needs great comms so include that in your buy. DO NOT ABSORB THE COST OF THE CAR IN YOUR CHARACTER BUILD! it is FREEEEEEE!
This RunYou are 3 weeks into the run... And you're bored... and Deckert has you running maneuvers to keep you sharp... Also: Deckert knows more than you and you all know that he plays hard and fast with the rules so if he's keeping a secret then you're unlikely to make him spill. He's always been a good leader, kept you all out of the gutter and you're never very short of money. Deckert does seem to go with more People Extractions but this run is different.
KnowledgeYou all also get Street Knowledge: London at 2 + Int (for free)
CommsIf Deckert, or I, catch you using anything worse than an Hermes then you're fired.
I put up IC and OOC posts.
OOCICPlease use Orokos for dice rolls.
Uncertain Death is the name of the campaign.
