I was inspired by the Cowboy character, and the Boomerang threads. I decided to make a throwing pistol, gunslinger, semi reality warped changeling who grew up on allot of western flicks and VR games out on the homestead. I'm not really familiar with the Sioux nation, but I thought it might be a good place to say he was from, not sure what the geographic situation is out there, or how much it differs from the modern day northern mid west. I wonder what if any, farm he would have grown up on, or maybe there's some kind of awakened critters out there, not really sure. I got the GitS, Elder Scrolls, and Star Wars universes rattling around in my head it's hard to cram all of shadowrun lore in there.
So yeah, what would a good rural area for him to have grown up in? And what kind of gear or changes should I make? I can't play him with my current GM (Because Runners companion is OP....) so I wonder what kind of game he could get into, I wonder if anyone is running out in the midwest, or australia, or whatever.
Oh, Right, should actually talk about character concept, so he's from the sticks, and probably grew up running around playing lucky gunner or something like that round his family's estate, and watching old Western 2D movies, and more modern to the 2060's westerns and shoot em up actions. He tried to emulate the classic movie tricks like throwing a knife faster than the other guy could draw and shoot, then he combined that with being a competent trick shooter, who then would wing the gun or whatever at his target, for extra awesomeness. (Really I can't think of anything to justify that other than it was an awesome image in my head when I read the boomerang thread.) Living in the trid world all his life makes it hard for him to differentiate one world from another, so a gillette mugger might show up and he'll pull out his Lucky Gunner Ingram smartgun and think the other guy is just a Street sam in game. So I can see fun role playing potential for that. He is technically an adept, but I'm not sure how to play that off as anything more than natural talent.
