Give me an hour or two and I'll have a character ready for you to check out.

Updated List:

Main List
Triggvi - Razor
Koryuu - Andromeda
Solodice - Stinger

Reserve List
Xylvador

I still want to see 1-2 more people, in the hacking/magic slots before I can declare the group filled.

Katrex: Your character is grotesquely min-maxed, there's still no background, and you haven't finished it yet. Seriously, I am pissed off at you for ignoring instructions.

Katrex - about your char - I am still in debate what do i see - ?
a hacker with no commlink?
a rigger with no proper wheels?
a adept fighter with no attacking skill?

It's not that we do not min-max abilities, we all do it in a way, but this char does not make any sense yet!

@Jian
can you ad in the next update the Concept of each char, as i am not sure what roles we have filled,
also i might do it myself if i have the time.

(Fuck sake Just lost everything I wrote... It was so good too)

Seven is young and new to the shadows, Surviving off talent more than experience right now.

He was caught by evo shortly after the Haley's comet when he started to express hyper cognitive abilities. Towards the end of his stay he accidently helped create an AI and the two of them somehow managed to escape evo's clutches. He's managed to survive the last three months, Finding food equipment and accommodation to survive has been hard.

He now lives with the Ai (currently doing through the adolescence's teething problems) in a detached basement connected to the underground tunnels of  eaglewood in the cas sector of denver. The Ai in one of its less moody periods roughly a week ago found him a fixer. "Tabby" also a changeling, their shared history pulling her heart strings to give him a chance.

Currently his motivations are primarily survival and making friends, he never really had a childhood, and had very little social contact. Hes not really stupid enough to try and revenge against evo, but he will be more likely to take jobs against that corporation. Hes relatively cautious but can get a little cocky when it comes to tech.

In game terms He's a surged Human artisan adept with high logic and a focus in logic skills, Ideally i'd like to take the mind over matter power in war to make him competent in combat but ill understand if you disallow that.

(theres a little bit more to all this but i'll leave that for later)


For where ive been getting my denver information from check out http://secure.commandohq.com/download/Files/Commando_Quarterly_1Q-06-lowres.pdf
Thanks in advance if I get picked.

Theres the background.... I mentioned the charecter wasnt finished I have like another 40bp to spend, Jian just wanted some quick stats. Also given that build min maxed would be taking cerebral boosters.... Which i think is cheap, but logic 8 makes sense i think and doesnt make me better at fighting than a street sam, and if i want to imporve it it in play would cost 1.5pp per point which is a lot.

Oh as to the items just copy pasted one of umarus and deleted and added some stuff, thats why the FFBA is in there. I forgot to remove it.

Also kouryuu he can fight, He has pistols :P. I'll probably get him a spy drone or too, and yes hes meant to be able to hack a bit, I added his main comlink and programs. If I can get some hacked programs I'll give him some more.

Anyway his focus is logic skills and tech, afterall he is an artisan adept, im going to see if I an make enough points to armorer, a couple of drones, so he can make his own weapons and such, then he can attune to them later.

I'ts not about one item the char counts as MinMax, but about the concept and the execution, i never allow more then one Attribute on 1 in my games, and there has to be real good reasons for having them there, yours is not! Where did the char get the money for the Implants? did he work, if so how did he manage to live a few months with that sickly low strength without training it, keep in mind that Strength of 1 is the lowest there is, meaning lifting his own hands is almost impossible.

Further to the point, Players who ignore GM's will get kicked from the game, and it looks like you are on the way there. sorry to hear as we really need at least one more player. :(

Hope you do not dismiss this, but think about it.

Very much what Koryuu said, and I'd specifically, very specifically made clear that I wanted a complete background and finished sheet together, and you have not followed those guidelines.

All: Well, if it gets us remaining players, do you mind if I switch to another season that Xylvador and/or All4BG can play in?

Also, Koryuu has changed his character, but we still need a final person at minimum to complete things.

Updated List:

Main List
Triggvi - Razor (Cyberware Combatant)
Koryuu - Valkyrie (Norse Tradition Mage/Face)
Solodice - Stinger (Combat/Stealth Ganger)

Reserve List
Xylvador

Okay fair enough well, ive been strapped for time I work long hours and have been jugling lots of things. I thought for the longest time all the slots were taken up, then there seem spots left so I was in a rush to do this guys stats. The reason his stats are low is because he was a labrat most of his life never being able to go outside and excersize. . Similarly his low charisma is because hes been a labrat with next to no contact with outsiders.

If I had to statmyself, someone who hardly does any excersize I would give my self a strength of 1. I mean there's no one ive ever beaten at an arm wrestle. Given that character I didn't think strength 1 was unreasonable. That said he was experimented on which is hard on the body so I figured hed be somewhat tougher than average to things like wounds surgery and such. As for his high logic well thats the entire idea behind the character.

 I have a few points left though If people still think his stats are unreasonable  I can spend them increasing his agi and strength up to 2. Though I can garentee you those are the things id increase first with karma because those are the things that would improve the quickest with a little excersize and experience.

Edit oh i missed a point.

Where did the char get the money for the Implants? did he work, if so how did he manage to live a few months with that sickly low strength without training it, keep in mind that Strength of 1 is the lowest there is, meaning lifting his own hands is almost impossible.

First strength one is not cripled its able to lift 10 kilos, I did explain on an earlier page that one of the first things he did after getting out was get the muscle augmentation AND thats why hes in debt. I feel I've been criticised a lot here simply because people havnt been reading my earlier posts Which I think is a little unfair.

My response, aside from your atrocious grammar, is that, you got to spend money to get the augmentations (and all the gear in general), and you have to have money to spend it. I have not been given a good reason as to how a then-physically weakling, low Charisma lab rat from Evo manages to live on the streets, survive long enough to get the money needed for augmentations and the gear and heck, the Fake SIN if he bought legit, all while avoiding the Evo agents who would likely are after them.

Hell, your background states 'finding food and shelter is hard', how do I expect him to acquire augmentation?

Finally, you want to complain that people haven't been reading your posts? Buddy, if you'd been reading my previous posts, you'd have not posted an incomplete sheet without the background - so the word I'm associating with you is 'hypocrite'.

Ok, I apologize, that was close to crossing the line there. However my issues still stand.

I dont want to create conflict but, i refrained from calling you a hypocrite though I noticed it when you had a go at me for not having a complete sheet and criticising my background despite the fact I had allready posted my background on an earlier post.

I´ve tried to explain myself, surviving on the street is hard (with no money) when you have nuyen to flash around, after getting a loan people bend backwards to give you what you want.

Regardless, for some reason, anoyance has been created and there is a bad atmosphere about this thread. I feel that even if my charecter was reasonable at his point I would be unfairly treated, simply because of the negative atmosphere created.

I apreciate the appology, but must make it clear, if this is how you will treat your players due to what is simply a lack of comunication, and perhaps a lack of patience, without perhaps taking a step back and trying to see it from the other persons veiw, then by all means start the game without me

If you can actualy help me, and let go whatever resentment there is, I will change my charecter in the nessacery ways and we can have a good game. I far from want to antagonise anyone. And would like to play in your game, and get to know everyone here in a positive light, and hopefully have some fun in the process.
