Well, it seems I'm the weak link here.  In that case, feel free to take my name out of the running.  It's a nice even six players without me, so it's okay.

Umm, the initial post said recruitment would be on first-come basis and that it would be open for at least a week... that was yesterday. If you want to play, there is not reason for you to drop out now.

[Raiden]

seems you have enough players, but if you have one drop out or need a filler, I would be happy to.

[DireRadiant]

Recruitment is open.

I have only listed candidates in the OP so I can track what information I have so far. Being listed is not an indicator of acceptance into the game.

Note that at this stage I have not asked for characters sheets, only for character concepts and goals.

Kozak, I have not heard of a character concept from you yet.

Sway, Recruitment is NOT on first come basis.

Raiden, I am leaving recruitment open a minimum of one week from the time of my original post specifically to allow for those people interested who may not have been available to immediately post to join in.

[Necrogigas]

Quick note, Dire. My character is an elf.

I tend not to mess too much with grand scheme goals any more. I've been burned too many times with them being completely ignored, and it's pretty much just got me into the mindset of just playing the character and only worrying about 'goals' which are more short term and are created in play.

As to concept, while I was building, I came up with a former Tir covert operative (can't do a true former Tir Ghost due to the fact that it takes a heck of a lot of points to even get to their level of stats and skills, not to mention anything learned afterward) turned part-time security consultant for a AA corp--which can be determined later.

Sorry, typo... I meant to say "NOT".

My character's goal at the present or rather simple: establish himself, clear his debt, find some additional contacts (he needs his own street doc), get cool stuff.

In the mid-term, he intends to get a decent enough fake SIN to get a more normal life, but stow it away and remain active as long as the thrill lasts.

In the long run, once th thrill's gone, he'll try to pull a big enough job to make a fair amount of money, take his best, unused SIN, and try to get a life.

For now, he's a 14-yr old cybered Ork, happy to live a day-to-day existence. 

[WhackedMaki]

Currently I am not playing any games on these forums, and I can easily post once a week, much more frequently likely.

I have a character in mind that would be a troll, a fomori metavariant, that focuses heavily on unarmed combat.

His back story would, not be all that complex, seeing as he was just thrown out of the facility where he was cloned, and being slated to be a new test subject for cybermancy. For reasons unknown to him however, he was thrown out with nothing but the augments he had at this point in completion.. Since then he has been living off of stealing, or using his formidable appearance to get odd jobs. He is very bad at anything social, so his income is very low for what his character could be capable of.

His short-term goal is to survive day-to-day. His only long term goal is to find out why he was thrown out of the program, and what he can do to get back in it and finish the process they had started.

I can upload a character sheet shortly if desired.

[DiscoDwarf]

You know, among the things that bug me beyond the fact that my hackles raise at the mention of cyberzombie, I just wonder why your character would be of the only race with the Arcane Arrester in-born Metagenetic Quality. Cybermancy requires extraordinary magical resources merely to attempt it; trying it on an Arcane Arrester means they'd have to spend twice the amount of those resources for the same result. Since that is really the sole defining trait/advantage of a Fomori, it makes me wonder why a corp (at least AA to have the resources to clone something and attempt cybermany) would choose this metavariant over a more common troll, or anything else with a naturally high Body to survive the surgery.

I don't say this to be mean, I merely think you thought that Fomori looked like an interesting metavariant to play and didn't think this through completely. Bear in mind that cyberzombies are never casually "made", they are those elite soldiers who've proven so valuable to the corp that they earned the "privilege" to become "more than human". Or they're 6-million-man types who's been wouldn't severely and need more spare parts than their essence can handle, and once again the corp feels it would gain more by keeping him/her/it alive and investing untold amounts of nuyen into a cyberzombie than just let him/her/it die and hire another competent solider.

Of course, I'm not the GM, if DireRadiant is good with this character, who am I to argue?

[WhackedMaki]

That makes quite a bit of sense, I don't consider it mean at all. The reason I chose it was due to my characters inherent weakness to magic, lacking in mental attributes worth a darn. It's something easy to change if requested though, and I would just increase my defenses to magic in other ways.

The reason I chose cyberzombie however, is that it's something I consider interesting. It wouldn't be something I could pull off within any short-term future though, it's be a very long down the road goal for a character. As stated in augmentation however. "The procedures for becoming a cyberzombie are rare, expensive, and dangerous—well out of the reach of any starting character."(Augmentation, 155). This tells me that it is well within the rules to eventually become a cyberzombie, just not something you can start out with, or achieve easily.

Hello everyone,

I´m interested in joining this game. At the moment I´m  planing a Rigger who has contact to some kind of syndicate or is political active, but at this point the concept is not clear. Hope you don´t mind if I need until the 30th.

Another idea would be a troll hacker who runs a matrix store for "handmade designer high heels"  from his run down one room apartment. The name would be "Heels". His main goal is to expand his legal business.

Any way I´m new to this forum but not new to SR4. A posting frequency of once a week would be fine with me and like every German I´m absolutely reliable

The Crossroads

Sitting between the industrial Auburn and devastated Puyallup, The Crossroads is on the rough and tumble side. The exterior of the club is low key, designed to look like a rundown manufacturing plant. The interior looks like a cross between an industrial plant and a biker bar.  The first floor consists of a stage and dance floor at the back, a bar at the center, darts and pool tables to the left, and booths and tables to the right. The second floor consists of rooms intended for “private parties and business meetings.” These rooms come equipped with white noise generators, and the deluxe rooms are even warded. The AR overlay is minimalistic and no-nonsense; the proprietor isn’t one for flash or glitz. The AR menus are bland, but there’s little spam in the club’s AR feeds. The club’s node is themed like the industrial plant the physical building is reminiscent of.


This enough?
