Oh, I just noticed a problem (Fractal was the second character I made for Shadowrun, so when I made him, I was unaware of some rules yet). All my armors are giving Fractal emcumbrance penalty...

Well, Sen, just to be sure, are you using any of the optional rules for armor from Arsenal (pg. 45-46)? In either case, Fractal will need to go shopping.

I'm going to launch a party at Saturday evening just as I'll get back from the horse-riding at the morning. The party means, I'll be hanging over next day and cleaning the appartment, so Sunday's going to be pretty too.

but I've got the post ready, and two mroe to edit/follow as well.

Street cred: +1
+1 the sheer amount of bodies and damage warranted plus succesful clearing Dean of his charges, made you a little more known in the shadows. There was little in a story that has to be hidden, so you could brag about the job (and how you four-handely tacked an army of BTL zombies) in the street pubs, basking in glory and waiting for another job.

Factions relations:
you got a +2 to your relations with Casquilho Mafia (this will give you a bonus of 2 dice to any social roll with members of that faction)

Background:
A male human about 14yrs old physically small and frail looking. The only child of Middle Class parents who worked most of the time to make ends meet. Despite that they were never there, Mouse’s parents were extremely over-protective of their only son. He was rarely allowed out of their sight (even when away they were always watching) and only rarely ventured outside. He grew to be extremely introverted immersing himself in the datastreams of the Matrix and science of computing (in which he found his special gift.) Several years ago his parents were killed in the crossfire between a gang and security personnel. Sent to an orphanage, he continued surfing the tides of the Matrix. During one of his surfing (hacking) escapades, he happened upon an entity in the Matrix (a Ghost) claiming to be the essence of a hacker trapped in the Matrix during Crash 2.0. This ghost took Mouse under his wing becoming a mentor and friend to a lonely orphaned boy. The derelict attitude and trouble with law enforcers caused the orphanage to expel him. The mouse is free at last!

Through a Rose-Colored Display Link
Caught while intercepting a call to a shadowrun team in a Casquilho Mafia restraunt, he is taken under the wing of the team’s rigger/decker. There he tries to aid the team to fight against the BTL zombies created by a renegade sprite named Taske—all to free the mafia’s top hacker Dean. After relaying the events of the mission to Gimmly, Gimmly takes him on trip to the resonance realms.

  Info.
Male Orc. As a child their wasn’t much that riker was good at. He was always small and clumsy and never fit into society as an orc or anything else. As an orc he was small and strong given the standards given by orc society and was constantly having to prove himself, always seeming to come up a little short. In all other manners of society he was an uninspiring orc, too small for typical orc jobs. One day while hell bent on proving himself he rreid to muscle his way into one of the hot spot clubs, designed for the local hot shots and found a very unwelcoming door committee made up of a fellow orc and a nasty troll. As things got more physical and the beating he was taking a in an all out attempt to get away, he felt an uncontrollable energy start racing thourgh his body an what felt like an explosion   that ripped his body to pieces, the only thing he remembered was PAIN. It wasn’t until sometime later that he awoke on a strangers couch, with a Troll overlooking him. He was still in pain and thought I’m dead now. But the Troll introduced himself as Grunk, and informed him that he had better learn to harvest his ability with magic or it would kill him. Grunk took him under his wing and showed him a thing or too with the arts. Grunk has always advise him to drop the chip from his shoulder about not being good enough at anything, saying that if he didn’t the day will come that it will get him. This was Riker’s introduction into magic. Ryker has since proticipated in a couple of Runs one on RMD facility where he used a lot of his skills in the arts of illusion and the latest on a job clearing the name of a mafia member.

snake, JDA, I'm sorry, but the submersion and initiation will take more than that.

I would have told you earlier, but today was the first time I've actually read that part of the books.

Last run could be the basis for some source code (btl related) submersion task for Mouse perhaps, but there are rolls related with that and time requirements logic + software(9, 1 week) extended test

there was nothing however that could make a basis for initiation ordeal for Ryker.

so - in case of Mouse you can make first roll. in case of Ryker, either save karma or choose other improvement.
Sorry for a small delay ;)

Proving himself to the team is a change in attitude and it might be seen as a change in Ryker, could it not? the Stun ball was a change then all the other times he failed, at least on a personal level he had done something he wished for and soul searching for what he gained and what lost, as well as searching for the meaning of his life is a great reason to initiate, and ryker could find a magic group that helps him do it, are at least give him a task to fulfil to gain a new level of understanding, aka reason for initiation.
Prepare for the worst, hope for the best and expect nothing!

The submersion task is not required, unless I want to reduce the amount of Karma cost. I can pay the full price w/o doing the submersion task or using a "guild" Unwired pg141-142.
I don't think my character would yet know that such a task can be performed yet. He's being led in the direction to go by his friend Gimmly. After experiencing it once, he could start to learn about these tasks and guilds. Usually after doing something once, you learn how to do it better. His first submersion is about reaching his first resonance realm.

If GM still says that I have to do the submersion task, then may I either specialize in a skill or learn a new complex form and then begin the process of submersion (make the first roll) and specialize in a skill? Or does one roll after the week? Either way, if the character will still have the karma to pay for both.

Sent, not wanting to sound repetitive, but are you using any of the optional rules for armor from Arsenal?

If so, this will change considerably the buying priorities of Fractal.

time is not enough i know, but the possibility is there.
just like gaining a skill group over a period of a month doing extended tests.
