So, at long last, here is the character sheet for my character. He's mostly good at spotting things and shooting stuff with his pistols, though he isn't going to have many actions per turn so he'll have to make the shots count. His main role in a team would be to spot dangers (mundane and astral) before the team blunders into them, with his combat skills being handy. Using only pistols and shock gloves, and having some decent Stealth skills, he can also be used to get into areas without anyone noticing anything is amiss. Being something of P.I., he can tap communications and knows how to talk the talk to fit in or get some info out of

I'm also attaching a picture I used for reference.
Note: I do not claim any rights or intellectual property over this picture. It is taken from a larger piece titled "Sins of NeonCity", by DeviantArt artist OmeN2501, whose gallery I strongly encourage everyone to visit.

Name: Henry Westwood
Alias: Maverick
Race: Human
Sex: Male
Nationality: UCAS (Russian heritage)
Lifestyle: Low (2 months)
Karma Spent: 0
Physical Description: Westwood's weathered face was about as dour as his personality, his eyes flat and mostly unreadable. His wiry frame sheathed in a long coal black duster, he kept his straight brown hair short and wore polarized glasses at all times. When he's expecting trouble, which is to say whenever he's awake, he also usually wears an armor jacket over his rumpled, dirty white shirt.
Personality/background Maverick has always been somewhat gruff and some would say he has the creativity and humor of a rock; even his street name was not particularly inspired, but he simply failed to care. He was not hiring himself out as a nanny or a party animal: he was good at finding stuff (and people) and shooting people (and stuff). Although he couldn't beat a full mage in the voodoo department and wouldn't have bet on his survival chances if he got in a scrap with a chromed street sam, he could walk a fine line between the two. He could pick off clues on a discarded item, shadow a mark, and place a bullet between the eyes of the thugs hired to throw him off.

@SeriousOne338: not sure you saw previous post, was mentioning you character need some updating as we are all sticking to the Core Book Rule only for character generation. No form-fitting armor, or restricted gear or, debts or gun firing mode modification.

@irisheathen and @user-unknown: what do you think of the character portraits?

I think the portraits were pretty good. I think a group shot would work better, though. 8)

Before you can enter, you are taken through a MAD scanner and wanded as well. Weapons are electronically tagged and held in a secure, individual safe keyed to your SIN (or fake SIN). Weapons are stored unloaded, of course.
Does this include ubiquitous self-defence items like tasers?

Yes, but you could probably sneak a knife in if you really wanted to try.

Ok so I hate invisible castle but I'm still using it. Since I cant seem to register I wont be able to do some stuff and I don't know how long they will keep the roll info. (I've now tried several different emails, checked spam folders and sent them emails but to no avail.)

Starting Nuyen: 4d6 [2,2,6,1] = 11x100= 1100

PS does any one know how to make this hyperlink not look like this -> "http://blahblahblah"?

@ obidancer
I liked it, a pretty fair representation.

Rolling up for starting nuyen, with a bit over 500 left at chargen (minus the money spent on questionable content). Didn't try to log in or anything, maybe I should, but it seems to work fine for now.

@irisheathen copy the BBCode line instead of the link one.


3d6+5=18 * 50 = 900

Are there any setting options you can fiddle with?

I use rolz.org to roll dice.
I've created a room for the Game: go to http://rolz.org/group add the name of your character for nickname and "Limited_Engagement" for the room name.

Anyone going to http://rolz.org/myroomlog?r=Limited_Engagement can see the log.

Pretty easy, straight forward and no need for registration.

What do you think about it?
