I wanted to make a cyber ghoul but the fact availability 8 means wired reflexes 1 max is making me go adept

[Onion Man]

Exactly the reason I turned around and went cyber/bio.  1IP can be enough, 2IP is plenty, 3 and 4 turn you into the slow moving melee guy that takes 3 IPs to rush into hand to hand.

That and I've never tried to make anything with 8R as the highest availability (*F I suppose, but Orson has just finished his downward spiral into the shadows and isn't quite ready for items he can't even get a permit for.

[Onion Man]

Orson is a work in progress.  I'll just keep editing him here as changes get made rather than a full repost.  Got to figure out how I'm finishing my money out, might getmyself into deby with one of the Vory too, just for kicks.

[Xzylvador]

I'd like to play with Rafa.
Needs some changes because he was built with the Restricted Gear quality allowed and I've some other things I like to try, but most of it will stay.
Is there really no way a char can start with a Chameleon Suit (Avail 10)?

I'm afraid this char means another combat character with a lot of overlap, but it's the only char I can get ready in time; if this is a problem just tell me and I'll drop it.

^This, I'm thinking a invisible way ghoul

[Larzarus]

Hmm, so far we have only combat chars, no hacker, no face, no mage?
Do we need them?

[farothel]

I can adapt a mage.  She's also fairly combat oriented (ex-mercenary, even with only two combat spells) but she has those things like improved invisibility.  And I can tweak her so she's a bit more scouting oriented.  Shouldn't be too hard to do.

Yes but I hate hacking, i want to play something other than a mage and I'm not in a social character mood

benhatt had mentioned that he was making a rigger.  That's why I focused away from hardware/software.  I still haven't done some of my shopping too, I may still have room to go backup hacker.

[Ethan]

My bad, I didn't see that benhatt had called Rigger. I was making mine a Rigger and Backup Hacker with some blades.

I'll fill the Magical support guys, though the more the merrier.

[Xzylvador]

Would actually love to play a Mage but I won't get one finished in time, charbuilding takes ages for me.
Hacker & Face: already playing one in other games... Not that I wouldn't really mind playing another THAT much, but not with the same chars and building new ones, again, takes ages.
And I happened to have that combat char lying around from a different game with the same rules...
Luckily, in a group with a ghoul and other infected and a bunch of combat chars, a latino ganger with a dislike to modern society will probably not even be the most problematic character. >

[farothel]

I've decided to play something else: a paracritter hunter with secondary face abilities.  If all the riggers we're having take secondary (or even one primary) hacking abilities, we're good for about everything.

EDIT: I'll post my character tomorrow (time to go to sleep here).

Characters coming along well

[Crash_00]

If you want something over an availability of 8 just PM it to me and we'll discuss it and what it would cost. Keep in mind that gear will be available after character creation when you start making money also.

Larzarus - The character is alright, but I honestly don't think you'll last too long with Berserker. You roll a total of 4 dice for composure tests against a threshold of three. Being uncouth, I think you'd be even more prone to going berserk as you are unaware in social situation and don't know how to react when people taunt/anger (and quite possibly will mistake people making fun of you when they aren't). Have you spent all of your points yet? I have done any audits, but you look a little short point wise. Also, is the ware alphaware? I'm just asking because MR 1 is 1 point of essence and Skillwire 1 is .2 points of essence (would leave you with 4., going alpha would be .8 and .16 leaving you with 5.04 left.

Onion Man - I think you are missing a few knowledge skill points. Also, there is a software package in SR4A for 400¥ that has edit at 3 which would be cheaper and give you an extra point in the program. Other than that it looks great.
