And initiation doesn't increase your magic, just your maximum magic.

So I've been chatting with cabo_setek about joining this game, I understand that Cowboy would not fit it too well with this kind of game. I also have another character that might work better, but sense the game is already going I need you guys the games to say yea or nea to join.

Name: John Smith (no really)

Description:
John is a 5’8” human with light tan and lean muscle. Usually wearing a three piece suit, dark green almost black suit and a crimson tie upon closer examination the fabric moves oddly from the concealed armor. His face is bland nothing really striking.

I'm all for it, but I liked the cowboy better.... but thats because I love westerns.

[All4BigGuns]

Predator can get along with just about anyone, but she realizes that sometimes you have to work with people you don't necessarily like, and "grin and bear it".

On another note, is the money this time per teammate or again to be divided amongst everyone? (Big deciding factor in whether Pred would object to an extra person jumping in since that cuts into everyone's pockets)

[cabo_setek]

it's split between the team.  You WISH I'd pay you each 60k nuyen each.

[SeriousOne338]

Call him an independent contractor and pay him less for this first run. If he askes why tell him that this is a trial run so less cash for him. He does not have a lot of contacts so this might be his first run with the higher end field. His background is a forceably retired corporate body guard with a crude aginst his old employers.

[cabo_setek]

my question is how your character gets involved this far in.  The teams already been assembled, and accepted the job.  I don't see how or why they'd need an extra runner, not to mention how you found out about the job.

[Cato]

We could always bring him on in a subcontracted role, with a set sum... as for ways to do that if there is a situation 1) where his skillset would be needed to do whatever or help with whatever one of our contacts could say they have heard of a guy and set it up.  Or someone on the team already could "know of him" in some way with the same thing.


Or, since the intent is for us to be going on a trip you could just make him the Johnson's courier for whatever gear we need to have smuggled.  Or something like that.  How we get from there to him being on the team would probably need some sort of conflict or situation that he helps us out with.

[cabo_setek]

From his skillset, he seems to be the guy who does the surveillance and such.

[arknok]

mabey he was support for the target team

[SeriousOne338]

Humm that could turn out bad in the end. Not sure if I'd work for someone that shot at me or want to work with people if I killed there friends also my character does have morals so being bribed would not work.

[cabo_setek]

in any event, does anyone have anything they want their characters to do before heading to Sea-Tac?

[vinnmun]

what was the split on the previous mission's nuyen btw?

Just grabbing my gear.

[cabo_setek]

what was the split on the previous mission's nuyen btw?

the split, I think, was 29k between 7 people.  It would have been 8, but I've seen neither hide nor hair of Pyromaster.  Which ends up being about 4k or so per person.
