Character sheet

Earliest memory I have is hearing that mechanical mutt yelling in my face, I didn’t know where I was, why there was a robot dog yelling at me, I didn’t even know who I was. That dog belonged to some hacker named “Goose”, he got me up on my feet, gave me a place to live, and we’ve been running ever since.

I never asked for these powers, personally I think this twist of fate is all fucked to hell, if I ever see fate, I’m gonna show em the meaning of disembowel. All I know is I’ve been dealt a shitty hand in life, and it’s time to stack the deck. I want my past back, and to know who I am, at ANY cost.

CONTACTS
Bishop Rook: Ramen Shop Proprietor/Information Broker
- Mr.Rook takes well to loyal customers with a knack for obtaining what his business thrives on most, information. Indebted to Travis for saving his ass, Bishop supplies Travis and company with a near finite supply of ramen, also lends his services as an informant for a cut of the take.
Rook has established a network of the homeless and downtrodden that can find out what is need to know at street level. No digital operation, only word of mouth information can be obtained, but this means Rook has literal eyes all over the city. No backroom deal goes unknown to him, usually.
- Loyalty: 6 | Connection: 2
- Can only obtain information of happenings going on in the streets of the city (slums, back alleys, etc). Deals concerning corporations, or larger entities are out of Rook's "jurisdiction".

Goro Date: Talismonger
- Goro runs a small trinket shop on the lower side of town, credited for teaching travis how to maintain his adept abilities, that would occasionally cause accidents such as opening doors too hard or tossing things through the ceiling. Seemingly can sense something within Travis, as he tracked him down and did this whole shaman schtick about supernatural beings and a bunch of junk, it is hard to keep track of what he says.
- Loyalty: ? | Connection: ?
- Language: Japanese

(UNKNOWN) “Crazy 8”: Digital Entity
- Occasionally emails are delivered directly to Travis’ commlink from something named “Crazy 8”. The messages are abrupt but typically have no real context or meaning. The latest one simply reads “Gate”.
- Loyalty: 0 | Connection: 0
- Cannot contact

GOAL
Get back my fucking memories, and my identity.

A Dabble Of Thelonius

Lungs running around the room wearing a top hat.

Marshmallow

An effect more commonly induced with the aid of hallucinogens.

A Dabble Of Thelonius

Update - Maptools still being shitty. Dropped back to version .86. Now login creates a timeout rather than an error.

Marsh has suggested Hamachi. It's a free download and I've already created a network for us.

Captain Carrot

What are the network ID and password?

A Dabble Of Thelonius

I'm nothing if not predictable.


Rise and shine campers! We are using maptools .86 now. So take the thirty seconds to download that version. Also, 5-5:30 approaches.

I had to help move and shit all over the place, I told Thelonious to write off this sunday as well but he fucked up. I am in for the next game, and i'll attempt to get francis' shit together as well.

A Dabble Of Thelonius

Meh. I ran a little one off with Marsh and Carrot. We still haven't properly started.

Mehtadust

Unfortunently I am going to have to drop out. I was basing being able to play off of not having a job. I recently(as in last friday) got one and I work during the game time. Damnit lol and I spent way to much time working on this toon too. Sorry all!

A Dabble Of Thelonius

Well congrats on the job!

vertroue

Thanks man.And I was looking forward to play to..boo

Solar

i am interested on playing, maybe

what time is the game going to be in the UK? I can never sort out these things.

Marshmallow

I believe 5pm EST would by 10pm for you. GMT +1 (UK) versus GMT -4 (EDT).

Daylight savings time, man. Shit be crazy.

NotoriusBEN

I'd be interested in playing with you guys if you need a spare runner. I'll slap together a character and be ready for the game just in case.

I've been playing too much Tribes Ascend lately and I want to make a ''pathfinder'' character. (rollerblades and a LMG so as to be a mobile turret ) but I do not have the time to make that work so... hacker.

Good at hacking, good at triage, ok stealthing, ok shooter.
maybe a rigger would do...

anyways, I'll have a character for tomorrow, and I wont be hurt if your full up.

A Dabble Of Thelonius

Sure. Show up on vent today at 5 cst, or message me on steam before that (Talon Valdez).

To the rest of you suckas. Wake up and grab your guns, we go in an hour or less.

NotoriusBEN

well, that's a fine first impression on my part. just sleep right through sunday. My apologies.

In the mean time, Im getting my character transferred to mythweavers. I've had a drone rigger in another game and I liked him, so I'll use him.

I know you dont plan on using vehicles much, but I dont care if Im not optimal. Wheeler is a 'runner and he takes the jobs he can get.

Solar

Unfortunately, despite my honest desire to do so, I am currently already playing a really cool game of Dark Heresy/Rogue Trader/Deathwatch on Sunday so I'll have to give this a miss. Shame, but there you go. Enjoy the game!

Meta T. Dust

Alright most of the busy shit is worked out, I can make sundays game (even if it means playing on the worst computer in the world) but I'll manage.

NotoriusBEN

hey thelonius,

I got my character up on mythweavers over here . He's more or less a standard rigger, but I plan to evolve him into hacking, unless that's taken care of. The point and nuyen breakdowns are in what free spaces I could find. when you approve, I'll edit those out and put rules page references in there instead.

A Dabble Of Thelonius

Cool deal, we have Hacker locked down tight, but we can always have more. Just whatever floats your boat.

A Dabble Of Thelonius

So we have a hacker, a rigger, a gunner, a bruiser and a stealth blade.

First session will be based off charisma and magic. Fuckers.

A Dabble Of Thelonius

Just goddamned Astral Plane adventuring and Con checks as far as the eye can see.

You travel to the Astral Plane to talk to a dragon spirit. He is very polite and will slay you all if you don't make three successful Etiquette checks.

Wawh Wawh Waaaawh. Run failed.

NotoriusBEN

awesome.

running out quick to get some food, then I'll be back for the pre-game setup.

NotoriusBEN

ok, im trying to connect to the PA vent server, but it says im lacking the password. am I allowed in? or do I need to go through the forums for submittal and acceptance?

A Dabble Of Thelonius

PA Vent has been password protected I guess. Password is the standard Penny Arcade password for literally everything. PM if you need it though.

NotoriusBEN

here's an image of my character for a maptool token... martial arts competance may not be to scale...

Spoiler:

small backstory

Spoiler:

Wheeler grew up in Seattle, and like most youths tended to skirt the law a bit. All too soon he was doing odd jobs for the Vory or the Yaks. Nothing serious, just boosting cars and sending them to the shops of one or the other. His luck ran out, when he stole the car of a known Vory boss and now he has to figure out how to pay them back without getting killed.

A Dabble Of Thelonius

Spoiler:

NotoriusBEN

ok, so quick notes for the run:

we got 10 names and various photos of them.
One of our guys' name and photo was on the list.
1-eye dwarf, aka Anthony is missing. He was our contact at the bar, which exploded from grey goons

Elf in limo works for EVO, also owns the bar that exploded. we need to give SINs to get through security for the meet.

lots of explosions...
