If you get a character you like and the GM approves, go ahead.  We'll find a way to make it work.

I am having voodoo doctor character in the other game. He is totally useless in combat but I am having ton of fun with him. The important thing is to stick with someone who can fight :D
Sorry for a small delay ;)

Thought I'd chime in on things.

I'm not planning to have super-high background counts unless it's a key plot point. Adepts get screwed enough as it is against cybered street sammies without taking away their power points.

I'd suggest that a combat-oriented character (not single-purpose please) and a general-purpose mage would be most beneficial.

You could incorporate the artifact knowledge skills into either one, but remember that the two remaining original characters are due a truckload of Karma after this scenario.

Keep posting, though.. I'll try to do some one-on-one messenging with people soon so we can narrow down ideas and pick our two new players. The new players will be taking the role of Jane's "advance team" that was sent to scout the area a day in advance.

I don't know if Jerry has more than 1 IP, but I'm done for this round.  I've just renewed my boosts, as they would run out after this round.

I got 3 ip per turn and I could be mor euseful in combat, I just need to deploy some combat drone. I didn't see a reason for this while Iceblade was chopping them. still I don't think any of the ones in central area want to fight anymore - not after what just happened.

You'll do all right, and I need to take care of those tourists.

btw, those guys with smartlinks, make sure to break them, they can have video recording units as well.

Hey everyone, meet Eugene

Shaman who specializes in detection spells and spirits of man. I've taken the Hallucinations, Compulsive, and Enemies qualities, so things should be... interesting. Also has knowledge skills and datasofts dealing with plants, critters, and the arcane. He's got a mean 12+ (augmentable by magic) dice for visual perception, so he will see everything that's there (and some things that aren't!).

Looking forward to playing with you guys!

Sounds like a fun character.  Poor Jerry, he's going to stand there while the two of us are chatting away in Yoruba about some magical plant or other (I have parabiology as knowledge skills too, even though my knowledge comes more from stomping around in the jungle).
Question: what's your tribal affiliation?  I've seen that you speak Yoruba, but it's not your native language, so that might not be your tribe.  Well, as long as it's not Igbo, we'll get along.  :)

So now we have one addict who's certainly going to have a bad case of 'Tourista' as soon as we're moving out of the airport, one professor who's seeing things that are not there and who's allmost as likely to go running of towards some strange plants than to stay and help (and might have to be rescued from said plants) and one combat monster who's most likely to run of to save a damsel in distress.  :)  Nice party.  :P
We migth need someone with common sense.  :o  :)

Everyone please meet Doc T

Combat Medic/Bodyguard - Part of Jane's advance team. A global Drifter who has worked mostly as a Mercenary and bodyguard in the middle east and in Africa.  He's an exceptional paramedic (18 dice using his medkit, provided the meds aren't pilfered...), a good shot, and a poor surgeon.  Good in a fight, assuming he hasn't been drinking too much.  Don't let him get started on Euro League Football or you'll be bored senseless. 

Look forward to playing with Ya'll.

Cheers

As long as he stays off the palm wine  ;)

Anyways, let's get the show back on the road.  I must admit I lost track of who's turn it is and except for the fact that I'm beating up some Igbo, what we were supposed to be doing.  :-[

His family is Yoruba, but his parents were globetrotting smugglers from Lagos who mainly spoke English. He grew up in France, and picked up Yoruba on his visits back to Nigeria.

Any idea how I'm fitting into the campaign? If Eugene happened to be at the airport, then he just saw a man turn into a dragon, then into a shark, then explode, so he's probably questioning his sanity at the moment.

We all question our sanity, it's part of the Shadowrun experience.  :)
We're going to get along quite good, as I'm also Yoruba.
