Messing with the reservation system is likely our best bet. We can get our sweet tour bus on the island without raising too many eyebrows, and we'll be in the system so we won't have to worry about avoiding security measures 24/7 like we would if we had just snuck in. Plus, since this island is run by an AAA-prime megacorp the booking department is likely big enough that nobody will question one VIP tour that just seems to have slipped in.

Realistically, the only trouble I foresee is that, while Silk could probably pass for a corporate type, eventually someone will see the heavily chromed out street Sam, the juice-obsessed dwarf, and the hacker with severe authority issues and wonder exactly what the hell department we're from.

But I'll leave dealing with that to our oh so talented Face.

Name: Kirk Fjordson
Alias: LochKid
Race: Human
Sex: twice a week at least
Nationality: Norway
Lifestyle: Low - 1 month
Karma Spent:
Physical Description: Long, almost white blonde hair tied to ponytail. Under high forehead you see frozen reflections of yourselves, mirorring in protective covers of his cybereyes. Nose dominates hatchet face with sensitive lips and firm chin. Tall figure with long arms and symetric shoulders. Dark leather clothes, decorated with steel pins and some chains. On the left shoulder he had a small bag, he is obviously used to travel light. On the right shoulder...electric guitar... something about his posture suggests thunderstorm on the glacier.
Personality/background Magical tradition: Norse...
An orphant found on the coast of frozen Glomfjord coast beneath the Svartisen glacier. Conditions of my birth remains great secret, even to myself. Old seal hunter, who raised me, told me nothing more then I must had been protected by spirits and that my life is the most prescious gift I could ever get, so there is no way to waste it by entertainment and and carelessness. He oftenly taught me that with his fists and kicks, especialy whe he got drunk.
Then, one day, my own rage break out and Ive burned the old man. burned the house, and burned this memories out of my soul. For he was not evil. He was just afraid of me. Like anybody else. Except good old Olaf. He came by right before neighbors decide that they will take the risk of the wrath of spirits and burn me to death. Olaf`s power saved me that night, and he had taken me to his boat and sail away from that village. I was six years old then, and it is like a dream now.
He taught me a lot, and provide me a shelter, food andsome of my needs. When he finds out my passion for the guitar players, as I`ve saw and heard many of his collection of ancient deathmetal videos and tracks, he bought me one. Old, wooden thing, with no electricity in it. I was trained even in other arts. I`ve spent some years visiting holy places an the elders. I`ve spent some time even with the group called themselves Winternight, but, by Odin, they were bunch of lunatics. After their cause was revealed, I was one of many Godes who hunt them down and make them perish, because they are....were...like some other religions say...heretics. I`ve slaed 3 of them, with the help of my berserker warrior and my spells. I hunt them in the real world and in the realm of Aesirs...and I came to love that feeling. No man, no beast and no woman is safe from now. Because I`m a hunter.
I also seek arcana mysteries now, for that is the next step of my jurney. Once I found a way to Asgaard and learn the name of a true hero, and learn the mystery of runes, I will be prepared,. I`m not certain what for, but I know it will come...

-- Any news from marcgarc? Has been since pg.1 since he posted something...

Sorry for being so late at building my character, but these are being hard weeks at my workplace, with almost no spare time. I'm working on it a little time every day and I'll post ASAP.

That looks pretty good Sichr, except for the gear: It's probably a bad idea not to have a gun, because drain is going to wear you down in a prolonged fight. And at least one fake SIN is an absolute necessity.

Sichr, is his magic 5 or 4? It looks like you bought up to magic 5, but dropped essence by a point with cybers.

Maybe, instead of trying to get the Face to explain that the Dwarf with the rifle is her bodyguard, the human is her boyfriend and the bunch of hardware standing behind her a weird looking drone, why not try something else than being "corporate types"?
So... a Human, a Dwarf, half a Robot and an Elf are sitting in a bus, what happened?

They won a prize!


FREE!!! ALL-INCLUSIVE TRIP!!! to a JUNGLE ISLAND full of ADVENTURE from Adventure Travels! XL Inc.(r)!*, **, ***




* Not including customs, taxes, transportation, entry to the park or lodging.
** Winners must pay a surcharge of 250Y to 5S749-5025-10520-50P3L for the cost of organization and administration.
*** Adventure Travels XL can not be held responsible for any damages, losses or theft of belongings, limbs or lives that may or may not occur to the lucky winners.



Hell, if any guard finds that out, he'll probably throw one pitiful look at the bus (Chameleon coating can fake rust patches and duct-taped parts, yes?), shake is head and have some pity on those people dumb enough to fall for that kind of scam.

Must be a lot easier to fake some sleazy 'trix scamming travel agency than faking a corporation... or making you guys look like you work for one, for that matter ;)

Jup you are right. Is there a coincidence between that? Chargen didnt count that change, so I though it was all right...

I was thinking that I will infiltrate the island with my Artisan skill - I would like to find a club or something on the island where I should get contract. I should then use my mojo to get a clearance for the team...I`ll work on my skills and spells, I`ve overlooked them at the morning and it isnt exactly that what I`ve wanted it to be. Must have been tired at the evening. More info on the afternoon, Ive got a work to do :)

There's been a -slight- change to Silk's character.
She's doesn't have as much Bad Luck as originally feared.
The Matrix' immense social network however does sometimes make it a bit difficult to focus. Chatboxes, forums, trideos and pictures are arranged all over her AR nearly every waking hour... if she seems a bit distracted at some times, feel free to snap her out of it.
This overuse might have also been the cause of some minor malfunction in her Cybereye's software. She'll get around to having it fixed, eventually.

Oh, she's also, a little bit, uhm... slightly, barely noticeably really, Vindictive.

(@Rockopolis, I also changed her knowledge from Black Markets 2 to Social Media 2, to better reflect this, if that's a problem, I'll undo it.)


Suppose I'll say a bit more about her:

It's hard to describe Silk's appearance, in no small part because words describing her beauty and charisma are simply hard to find in any language, but also because the description, other than "OOOoooo", is ever-changing.
One moment she's a Caucasian seductress, teasing blue eyes, cherry scented pink lipstick on her full lips, with a flick of her head sending her blonde wavy hair flying over her slim shoulders, landing on the bright red coat a girl looking like her probably got from either shoplifting or her pimp (who must be loaded).
You just know that if she asks you to close your eyes for 10 seconds, you'd happily, even longingly do so.
But then opening your eyes, she'll look like a not-to-be-messed-with Asian corporate shark, black hair that would make a ruler doubt it's straight, lips pressed together with enough force to create small diamonds, deep brown eyes accentuated with a black line so sharp it makes you wonder if eye-liners get an armor-piercing rating; eyes, behind thin glasses in a designer frame, that look like they can read your every sleazy thought (yes, she knows) and promise without a sound, but very loud threat, that one such thought about her will make the saying "the brains are the most erotic body part" be absolutely correct in your case.
Then she'd flash you a smile, the kind of smile so full of innocent joy and heartfelt kindness that it could previously only found in 4- to 10-year-old children...
By the time your mind'd have sorted out the confusion of all the mixed signals, she'd be walking away with the kind of walk that must take years to perfect but still looks so natural and always draws eyes somewhere halfway between her neck and ankles.
How could you just associate -anything- about her with a child? You know, she really makes that 'secretary look' work.

More to the point of business, she likes business clean and effective. Even though she's new to the job, she's already decided to be the best and figured out how to achieve that. Reputation is what makes you money, keeps you alive and out of trouble. It's the closest thing to sacred there is, cause damage to that reputation at your own risk*.

* Payback may or may not include: willpower-crushing toxins, irresistible commands, a pink tutu, a clowns nose, 2 troll gigolo's and/or a matrix-connected trideocams.

Are you sure? That seems like it would take time we don't have. And you haven't put any points into social skills.

I`ll update the character and then we will see. It is not our only option.
As for the schedule...I hadnt seen any deadline, so I think we have some time to prepare and run well planned action :) BUT I may be mistaken.
I`m not much comfortable with the idea we will all travel together at the same time, same boat, same vehicle...looks like all-in bet before we even know the game....
Seems to me like an frontal assault more than shadowrun :)
