Are we allowed to use sum to 15 and prime?  I was thinking we were limited to sum to 10 and normal.  I am almost done with character and will get something up tonight as promised.

Are we allowed to use sum to 15 and prime?  I was thinking we were limited to sum to 10 and normal.  I am almost done with character and will get something up tonight as promised.

It depends on the character... #4 wouldn't be Sum to 15. 750Karma is a standard new character. 850K is a powerful runner. I've never used SUM to N. Can you Sum to 12?

If there is no other way - use Sum to 10 and then give #4 some experience with 60 Karma.

[Mercy Merchant]

Sum to 12 is easy.  Thanks.  I will mod the character.  I really hope she is the one to live, but her background and personality almost mark her for an exit.  She is just too into a need for thrills and combat.  A bit self-destructive in that way.

I can even live with the sum to 10 I posted.  It is really your call.  I will have fun with her for as long as it lasts.

[Nevyn]

Brilliant... go to 12.

[Nevyn]

Mercy: Can you give me some info on your contacts: Who they are / what they do?

[Mercy Merchant]

Quick note is Party Planner/Socialite and boyhood chum who is now a successful PI.  I need to flesh them out more and they are better than 1/1.  I got caught against a deadline to post and they got the short end of the stick.  They will be 5/2 for the woman and 3/4 for the guy.  I will finish them up this evening after work.  Sorry about that.  I will finish up the sum to 12 also this evening.

[Nevyn]

All - I've gone through a couple of times but I want to make sure:

If you've ever worked for a corporation... Can you tell me which it is please? Just message me or post it here.

Dekert worked for Ares after their hostile takeover on his company... He was still the CEO for a while, until they replaced it with their own guys.... he was too resentful to actually enjoy his new status as cooperate employee and he had debits he personally vouched for that went to the black market and he could not pay with his wage. Ares ofcourse only bought  the company once it went under... free of debits and stuff with a brilliant and cold blooded business maneuver. So Deckert had to pay the rest of the company debit on his own.  This is why he left the mega and entered the shadow for the life of a mercenary, his Ares stocks that he got for the takeover are his retirement and if he can make that debit go away he can retire in peace.


 The story can also be with any other Mega - if you guys prefer.   (Ares is the only Megacorp I had the chance to read about so far).

He hasn't had much of a chance to since Ares blacklisted him, but he has done several jobs for Sader-Krupp.

Since sum to ten is considered 750 karma here, does that mean I get an extra 60?

[Triskavanski]

that's three of us for Sader Krupp it looks like.

Born and raised in Tír na nÓg, Mirriam left what she felt was a confining lifestyle in favor of making her way in London proper... a 'real city'.  Gifted with a nearly unstoppable intellect, the small girl adapted to the streets quickly and made a small name for herself as an AR 'Tagger' who called herself Eochair, creating a symbol of a stylized key to 'sign' her work.

She also worked as a hacker, small time, and used her abilities to the benefit of her friends, a group of hackers in the Conclave of Hackers In London Local (CHILL).  It was during a job that she came under the notice of an Ares Headhunter who ultimately recruited her to work as Firewatch support.  It was a short lived stint, as the strict procedures of Ares corporate living pulled her down and she cut ties after only two years, the probationary timeframe that her contract required.

However, her training and time there had benefited her skills greatly and Mirriam decided to put her skills to use in a more lucrative field, one that would allow her the flexibility she was always looking for.  Leo Griswald put her in contact with Deckert who took the fixer at his word that 'the girl was a real wizzer of a cowgirl and the next thing she knew, she was on a plane to Minneapolis to meet the assembling crew...

Mirriam is just under the average height for a gnome with green eyes and hair that is naturally red.  She often accentuates it with other bright colors and when she's not working she wears it in a wide and full mohawk style (not spiked), high in the front.  Her dress tends toward neo-anarchist/punk style.  When working, she dresses in a chameleon suit with a helmet.
