Well. Talking about my life we are not talking about some fucking rosegarden. I was born to Lagos. My blood is pure Igbo. Not like those punks on the streets, Area boyos..mixed breed of every filthy bitch you can find in Niger, including some apes, I suppose. But there was no luck in this. `Cause I was born second. Maybe some seconds after my brother, it doesnt matter. Because it was him who walked away with the Gift, not me. He became a jewel in my tribes eyes, and no one seen that he in nothing but the rotten apple. I`d experienced it first. It begans with some funny tricks that made others lagh, but it didnt stopped when others turned away. He tried whatever he can to make me feel his supperiority, tortured me, haunted me all night long with his spirits, driving me crazy. There was no escape from his Mojo. I lasted years, and my luck was broken.
I had to leave. Move somewhere where I would be safe from him. I`m not a stupid guy, and as he was supposed to grow up in the power, I had to seek protection in the means possible for me. So I moved to Festac. You know, there are few communities like this in the world, But you just accidentaly find some place as fucked up as Festac town. Something here in the air, in the earth and even in people(haha) living here makes magic works less efficiently. There are worse places, even in Lagos. But no one is able to survive there for long time, with all those sassabonsam and walking dead and I dont know what else.
In the Festac, there was my homeground. Cursed land for the cursed man...
I`had have became a member of Hausa Hacks. Interested more in machines than in breaking codes and stealing IDs, I`ve beeing a good money source for my new brothers, as they use my abilities and gave me some addons I needed to work poperly.  Selling my services to merc groups, who needed to cover their comunication in the city and keep their automats running, while they were out in the jungle for some operations. Ive got a strict code of honor theese days, not giving the info about anyone I`ve worked for, thinking that only a good rep should bring more money in the future. Most of my brothers respected this. But there is always a rotten apple, and my broken luck was about to strike again.
When I was out for a mission once, some lazy fucked up scorched brain decided to meake his profit on my behalf. When he was not able to break my codes, he asked here and there and he found out that I have a brother. So he started to look for him, thinking he could use him to convience me to give him my data. And because my brother was "non-existent" in the wireless world, he had to done it good old way, by his feet and his mouth. I only hope that he had suffered long enought for this.
But then again, knowing my blood-brother, he had.
He rised in power all the time and become feared and heated even amog Igbos. After he used our entire family as a gift for some sassabonsam shaman he tried to convience to teach him some of his secrests, he was expelled from the tribe. Like he cared... He had his path chosen long before this happened. He become part of Sons of Sauron terrorist group.
He stormed our hideout in Festac right away. Magical background was no match for his actual power. When I came from my mission, I found nothing but ruins and piles of garbage mixed with parts of bodies of my commerades, scavengers already feeding on them, everything painted red...On one of a few walls still standing there was a message, painted bz blood. I wasn`t supposed to read it. I was supposed to feel it. And I was damned lucky that i had survived this undestanding.
When I woke up from uncounsciousness, I made my way out from Festac. Madame Iboju was more than generous when she used her mojo to heal my wounds. She said something about powerfull magic, and said that only my cyber upgrades saved me, because my brothers spell attacked my very soul...something I have not much left.
My next steps lead to the small buka at the Dúdú Dúdú Ojá market. Osayi has good contacts, and the hangout in his bukka provided me jobs before. The difference is, that this is the first time Im looking for job outside the Lagos area...

new positive quality i created for the game.  if you have made your character, you can update it to include this.  Basically, its a modified made man and  mercenary Code combined into one, reduced cost because its not exactly the same as made man (you cant sell goods through the company) and its a restricted quality.  However you all can conceder your self to have gamemaster approval for it.

Damnyankee

Veteran Mercenary
Cost: 10 BP

The character is a veteran of a mercenary company and as such can call on its resources. In game terms, this means
 the character possesses the mercenary company as a free Group Contact
 (see Groups as Contacts, Runners Companion P. 124) with a modified Connection
 Rating of 8 and a Loyalty Rating of 4. This also allows her to use
 the companies supply chain for restricted gear (for a 20 percent
 cut)  (though items
 are contingent on gamemaster approval). A veteran merc has seen it all, giving him
 an edge when trying to gauge someone’s intentions. Treat
 this as a +1 dice pool modifier to Judge Intentions Tests, and  when confronted with the effects of death and violence, treat this as a +1 dice pool modifier to Composure
 Tests
.
However, the character
 is required to aid and participate in company activities on a regular basis. Also, add 2
 points to the character’s Notoriety score. These additional
 points may not be bought off by Street Cred.
 Mercenary characters are usually deployed for long lengths of time,  though the character could be on leave.  This quality requires gamemaster approval.

Background:
Hank grew up among factory wage slaves. he was bright for an orc, he also had the mystical spark and his parents made an effort and sent him to schools. The corp they were working for decided to make an investment. So Hank worked hard studying hard and working as security operative - guarding convoys.

At one point he got interested in medicine. It started from researching on metatypes genesis, trying to aneswer the question on why he had become an orc, but that passed briefly skipping onto parazoology. It made him a constant wonder on what had animals Awakaned into.

Several years later the corporate shut down the money source and decided to cash in. Hank wasn't ready, he wasn't done yet studying, he hadn't even time to develop his magical abilities, wanted to study more. Looking for aneswers he made a research and tripped into military. The pay was good, risky but good. They were willing to loan him money so he could pay off his corp. Several missions later, he paid that off, at which point he took off to military college. studied military history (to study Sun Tzu  he even started to learn Chineese) and developed his magical abilities, when another subject took him off into completely different angle - the healing spell awakened him onto medical fields, he needed brain booster, loaned to buy it installed and studied further.

By the time he was ending his studies, his body wasn't fit enough - he had to be able to repay the debts he had, so he risked more and followed through his college friends until he find the 'ware. He borrowed more to buy the thing. Installation made him wolfing everything eatable around but the result were satisfying. He got back to the company rooster. Now it is only matter of finishing a couple of missions, paying debts and he could be back to university but now instead of studying he could make some actual progress in the field, he just haven't picked yet which one...

Gear
standard issue


Just in case that hadn't been obvious Hank follows Chaos Magic tradition. which basicly means he treat magic like just another study topic, and use available tools to practice it.

His Lodge (placed in his barracks room) consist mostly of computers but it have all the typical elements - old books, parts of of paracritters, plants, preserved animal tissues and so on are also present. To each there is an RFID tag attached providing detailed and exact information on source and qualities.

My commision for foci has been approved so I have a powerful sustaining foci force 4 bound to me from the company store. This foci is a large obsidian stone. it can be attached to a silvery headband, but Hank had also his combat armor customized so he could attach it the right arm.

So, we have a driver, a mage and a demo guy "done" with a "face" being made up.

Demo still seems very niche considering we have a lot of slots to fill.

Happy to play the demo guy of course, but if you want I am comfortable playing any of the following...

Demo/EOD specialist
Scout/Sniper
Medic (magic orientated)
Gunner/Armorer/Mechanic
"Savant" type adept as a planner/intel guy

DY, let me know which you would prefer

Hell It seems a quiet here for some time. I have an Idea
Should we start a Play thread and begin with some interaction with the other personel on the base, surrounding area and each other? To get the feeling of a game.
Maybe it would attract some other players,
Now, we are three, that is enought for a runner team, but no for the mercenary squad. We should be able to do some low level jobs thought. Nothing happens without some push/pull efforts...and I`d really love to play...even with you, guys (/megawink)

I can do a scout, I know I threw my hat in earlier as a Hacker and then faded it was because you had two riggers types posting interested and lets face it, with the right programs anyone can 'mook' his way as a hacker....even riggers  ;D

My idea as a scout wont be so much sniper as he'll be a stealth expert with close combat (i.e. a throat slitter type)

I've been thinking it over, and I think what makes the most sense for the character of David Harman is if he was working a desk job within Conrad's Conqueror's until he realized (or somebody gave him the suggestion) that in order to be taken seriously in the mercenary biz, he'd need to spend some time in the line of fire. So he's a new soldier, but not new to the company.

I'd like to be able to take the Veteran Mercenary quality, but I can't think of anything I'd like to sacrifice from his sheet, BP-wise. Would I be able to take it later with Karma?

I'll edit David's background tonight to reflect this, as well as figure out what he'll do for extra gear (probably just some flare compensation contact lenses and a few other little trinkets, nothing big).

EDIT: Oh, and I'd be down for some light RP and stuff in an IC thread, just to get the ball rolling.

I tried to do that one but DY, said - don't bring knife to gunfight ;)
Still I'd vote for having one in team.

If I went adept and power throw at max (3) I could be winging throwing knives doing 6P at a range comparable to a pistol (Tomahawks would do 7P at shuriken ranges). Of course I do see the need for a gun, but it wouldnt be his specialty.
