yup: [b/]Character Approved![/b]

Make any last minute changes to the character related to the power balancing and I will add it to the character list

I didn't catch it either lol. I made the update to the character list in post 3.

May I ask what kind of spells your sorcerer uses? - fire themed combat magic? Alchemist/manipulation? Illusions? etc? - Just want to know what challenges to throw and not throw at the party.

Erm... well at the moment I'm re-reading Street Magic to get a better fix on my character, so I'm not too sure. In game terms he definitely has both Clairvoyance and Detect Individual, possibly also Mindlink. So I suppose he is most likely to rely on Detection/Illusion spells rather than combat or manipulation. Not that that bars him from learning any over the course of the story though, right?

Side Note For All:
I'm far from being an encyclopedia for the Shadowrun 'verse, but I've been rooting around and dug out a few of the 4th edition source books, so if anybody wants some more fluff to expand their character (magic, weapons, hackery, etcetera) just PM me or something.

Nope: you can learn spells later if you happen to find a way to.

I'd be willing to run a shared history, but I'm at work atm, don't know what time I'm gonna be off. Lemme know if you're ok with the idea of running with the wolf and we'll get one hashed out at some point. Don't feel pressured into it if you don't like the idea.

Nice; I like it. If you want to flesh out any contacts, please do. If you have a way in which you want your character contacted in the first post, please let me know so I can use it.

Only thing I can say is your pretty old for an Ork

Otherwise: [b/]Approval Granted![/b]

Yeah I went with my memory of the setting rather than digging out my sourcebooks. We can make him ten years younger, though I was planning on playing him as a bit of a disgruntled old has been.

I can leave the fleshing out of contacts to you if you like. Chromad's been around and he's a well known sucker for anything that makes him feel like a real pro shadowrunner. Most of his contacts are preying on this.

He's most likely to be contacted via the matrix since as an unemployed SINner wittling away his savings on software he doesn't get out much. His icon is custom sculpted to look like a treasure chest. It moves around the node on its clawed legs and flaps open and shut when he communicates, or breathes forth gouts of gleaming data when he deploys programs.

Spoiler: A bit like his icon

Rargh!

YAY thanks for the approval. I will admit that my Shadowrun knowledge comes almost solely from the Sega Genesis game, which I never beat. So don't expect me to know a lot about the Matrix, magic systems, or cyber-augmentations at first. Be patient with the newb, I'm a pretty quick study in this stuff.

Actually, that weapons page that was linked to on the first page was fantastic. Is there anything like that out there for CyberAugs or the Matrix?

I can't help myself, I love your Matrix-self. Of course my favorite has always been an ork decker I used to play, who was a dining table with human legs.

captcha agrees with me about your image, it says very nice.

Hey, I noticed a couple of things in your profile that don't quite add up, if you don't mind me mentioning;

Type: gunslinger adept/mage

That's kind of an either/or deal. The Talent only manifests one way or t'other, you don't get adepts that can sling spells or mages that can use adept powers.

Equipment: 2 desert eagles
]

To be a bit more lore-friendly, might I reccomend using the Ares Predator IV as a stand in? It's basically the same gun but in universe.


If this has already been mentioned and hiei82 is cool with it all, then forget I said anything.

 

[Floris2123]

Well okay thanks desert eagel becomes Ares Predator 4.
But with enough traning couldnt you use magic in 2 ways?

Actually there is a desert Eagle still: I M I D E S E R T E A G L E 5 0

Also, you can be both a mage and an adept - it's called a mystic adept - you can do both but you are weaker in each other the two aspects as a result.

 

[Floris2123]

Okay so changed the guns and the class is it all good now ?
And he is weaker in both that is why he has 5 and 5 and not 8 and 8.

I'm sorry if this comes off wrong, and I know I'm in no position as I'm in the process of writing my character, but is there anything yours isn't good at?

 

[Redryhno]

Oh, I just assumed that since Hiei went with pm's that it was ok. But even mystic adept doesn't give you the physical adept skills either. At least the way I remembered it, or the way I've always played it.

As for the DE/AP thing, AP is simply more common anymore because the ammo and maintenance are cheaper, DE is less common but packs the same punch.

I'm sorry if this comes off wrong, and I know I'm in no position as I'm in the process of writing my character, but is there anything yours isn't good at?

From what I understand on his sheet, he's more of a jack of all trades with an emphasis in the heal school of magic than anything else. Not as good as my guy in combat, no where near as good as the real mage we've got, and can't track down leads as well as I'm going to assume the robot can.(something I've never really been comfortable with)

 

[Floris2123]

Well lets see he knows next to nothing about the matrix or any kind of tech. He hasn?t mastered anything he knows his way around guns and knives but doesn?t have any close combat experience except with knives he wears the sword for intimidation. So he is a doctor with some experience with guns knives and bit with magic. A jack of all trades.
lost the physical adapt powers...

His notable skills include non-notable skills. By "knows about cars and computers" means he can use a computer and can identify cars. Otherwise he is good at medicine, and with guns using his magic to augment his knowledge.

Sorry - we discussed this aspect via PM but I guess we didn't make the revisions clear enough.

Not sure why he knows fireball and acid stream. Fireball isn't that good of a spell without proper support.

Also... I don't remember the "Learns things in a tenth of the normal time." part. - maybe change it to is a quick learner

Oh, I just assumed that since Hiei went with pm's that it was ok. But even mystic adept doesn't give you the physical adept skills either. At least the way I remembered it, or the way I've always played it.

Mystic adepts split their points between their adept power and their spell-casting. effectively a sorcerer should have 8 or so spells, and adept will have 8 or so powers, and a mystic adept will have some combination adding up to 8

 

[Floris2123]

I have 8 now...
