The Limit of Infinity: A Shadowrun RP (Sign-up Thread - Closed)

[3quency]

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.

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.

Okay yeah, that was my bad.
I just re-read the mystic adept thing and I screwed up there.

I didn't mean anything by it, I just misunderstood a rule and missed out a sourcebook.


In terms of a shared history, would we sort something for all of us or just work it out per individual?

 

[Malyc]

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

I think I only had 7... is it OK if I give my char a frost spell for teh lulz?

If you have the leftover spot your welcome to I suppose.

I leave that for the group's decision. If you want to know each other before hand thats great, if not thats fine too.

[b/]ALL[/b]: please let me know if anyone shares histories/knows each other before hand so I can keep the introductions simple and canonical

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?

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

He carries around 9 weapons: 9 ... 2 hidden guns, 4 hidden knives, 2 heavy pistols, and a sword (which granted, he isn't good with).

Can he cut down on the amount weapons, and possibly focus more on either guns or knives? With spells to supplement?
If he's going for a JOAT, there should be more "master of none" imho.
I'm sorry, I know I'm knitpicking.

I also get the reason why he carries the sword (intimidation value), but he doesn't seem to need to be afraid of anything

I'll just get to making my character now, so everyone can tear it to shreds xD

In terms of shared history, you wanta have a kind of professional relationship, the ganger and the cop that've crossed paths from time to time?

snip

If he goes in with me on this, this'd be more of a street name basis, just knowing each other. So there'd be no reason to really change anything beyond we recognize each other.

snip

In a way, I'm kinda with Jokerboy, the hidden guns are really the only things I didn't see, I mean, I can see him carrying around the sword,knives and DE's/AP's, whatever you decide to go with, but the hidden guns are a bit of a stretch in my mind.

And JJ, get ready for the shredding of your sheet to begin....

I leave that for the two of you to discuss. He could be carrying a thousand weapons if he wants (assuming he could lift them) - after all, no matter how many weapons he has, he can only use 2 at a time - and in doing so can't really use much of his magic as all the spells he has require a free hand. I get the feeling that the character is only good at 3 things - Handguns, Knives, Medicine and he supplements his [s/]power[/s] skills with Magic (he removed the two damaging spells)

 

[Floris2123]

I wonder what is still left of my charcter after i take his guns away so what about NO
I mean the revolvers are the small shit types of guns and the knives are not machete's just small knifes he hides. His clothes are designed for that purpose only why do you think it has been repaired so many times. He is just prepared in case he gets captured or breaks some of his weapons.

excatly good in 3 things his magic is only there to protect him a bit he doesnt wear any kind of really good armor and his magic and powers only boost his healing skills.

 

[Nooners]

Well, I deliberately made Josh Nolan contact-less so he can start off fresh-faced and raw in Seattle. I'm not planning on having backstory with any of the other characters, unless one of you had a run in the Cleveland, Ohio area in your history.

I'm kind of thinking he'll piggyback off a team needing a mechanic/weapons guy until he's ready to explain what he's after. He'll probably be waiting near Mr. Johnson's booth, looking to offer himself as a hired gun.

Actually, you do have one pseudo-contact: the Mr. Johnson who originally hired your brother. Not that I'm going to [s/]abuse[/s] use this connection...

@hiei: That comment leaves me suspicious... Mr. Johnson knows everyone, doesn't he?

True..but I don't know who his Mr. Johnson was. I only know the Johnson that the one in Ohio referred me to, and I don't know if they're the same person...or if I can trust Andrew's Mr. Johnson.

You should have just said Andrew's Johnson... I'da gotten a chuckle out of it XD

<.<
O_O

Not implicitly no - he may know some of you or by reputation - I just want to take advantage of his back story to draw him into the game because that's my favorite way to draw a character into a story

but, if you want to be suspicious that's fine - it's only paranoia if your wrong.

Muh ha ha ha ha ha ha

snip

I've been meaning to ask you - you mention not to touch his hat but never describe his hat. Is it a stetson? Is it a Fez? I hear both are cool (along with bow-ties)

More importantly - is it a Fedora? (my hat of choice)

pure curiosity

It's only paranoia if there isn't someone after him... Just cause Mr Johnson doesn't know me doesn't mean that no one else does...

And when I said "everyone", I meant that he likely knows Artemis... which means that he knows a guy who knows me...

DAMMIT! Now the animal control officers are gonna be breaking into my park in the middle of the night...

A fair question. And since I modeled Josh's overall look and wardrobe on myself (yeah, yeah, I know, so original, but this is one of my first-ever RPs), here's what you should think of:

your link didn't work for me... you could just name the type of hat.

 

[Nooners]

Yeah, sorry about that...it's kind of a cowboy hat. Not like a ten-gallon or anything, it's shorter than that, but definitely cowboy-style. Wouldn't look out of place on Jayne Cobb or Malcolm Reynolds.

I'm gonna guess the former. (a Stetson btw)

 

[Nooners]

Yeah, the former. But it's brown.
